My life skills in Daming Liver.

Chapter 319
Su Ze walked into the field and saw that the big-leaved plant was indeed a tobacco leaf.

Tobacco planting is a very hard work, people have to bend over to cut off the tobacco leaves completely.

Tobacco leaves secrete tar. Tobacco leaves are harvested in southern areas where tigers are infested in autumn. The tobacco oil and sweat are mixed together and cannot be washed off for a few days.

After confirming that it was tobacco leaves, Su Ze said to Uncle Lin Qi:
"After harvesting this batch of tobacco leaves, all the seeds must be kept and not leaked out."

Su Ze continued: "Uncle Qi, please train a few disciples and let them go to Dayuan Island to direct people to grow tobacco."

Su Ze picked off a tobacco leaf. Although Su Ze didn't smoke, his former mentor was an old smoker. He often bought tobacco leaves from tobacco farmers during school inspections.

This kind of tobacco leaves needs to be roasted in the barn to become yellow tobacco leaves, which is the shredded tobacco in cigarettes.

Su Ze is not going to sell cigarettes to the country. He is going to build several plantations on Dayuan Island to export these tobacco leaves to Japan and Nanyang.

Uncle Lin Qi nodded heavily. This tobacco leaf field is not big, as long as the seeds are controlled, it will be enough.

As for planting tobacco leaves, there is actually nothing special about it. The main reason is that this thing consumes soil fertility. After planting, it must be fertilized and plowed to plant the next round.

The climate on Dayuan Island is suitable for growing tobacco leaves, and Su Ze plans to open plantations far away from towns, so that he can temporarily monopolize tobacco leaves for a period of time.

It is impossible to have a complete monopoly. This thing originated in South America. After the unremitting efforts of Spanish businessmen, it has become popular in Europe.

In terms of making money, the Spaniard's bottom line is quite low.

After discovering this addictive tobacco, Spanish merchants' first reaction was to offer it to their emperor.

Lin Qishu also planted a series of South American plants such as tomatoes. Su Ze still couldn't help but pick some small and ugly tomatoes back. Tomato scrambled eggs were delicious that he hadn't tasted in eight years. The next time he goes back, he plans to copy it for Fang Ruolan to taste, and by the way, he will show off his [cooking] skills.

But this time Su Ze came out to inspect, it was not as easy as it seemed.

Due to the communication ability of Lahip in this era, after the army led by Lin Liangjun left Fujian and invaded Jiangxi, the time interval for the transmission of military information became longer and longer.

What Su Ze received now was the battle report from five days ago.

Do you want to "smoothly" come up with a radio?

But how can we learn "electronic" skills?Do you want to learn to fly a kite like Franklin?

No, that is too dangerous!
Moreover, to make a radio, a rubber ring is also needed. Su Ze searched the port for so long but could not find a rubber tree.

Forget it, if it doesn’t work, let’s build more post stations. When the seeds of the rubber tree are found, then think about lighting up the “electronic” skills.

Electronics should be a skill, right? Even [Firearms Manufacturing] and [Administration] are considered "life" skills. There is no reason that electronics is not a life skill!
Su Ze thought wildly, and opened the battle report in his hand.

After Lin Liangjun entered Jiangxi, the journey went very smoothly.

Jiangxi's official army can't even suppress the Feilong army, let alone the Fujian new army equipped with bird guns.

Lin Liangjun's Second Brigade of the Fujian New Army is currently the unit with the highest degree of firearms.

Lin Liangjun wrote to Su Ze that when he first entered Jiangxi, his second brigade had only 1000 people.

This is the result of an expansion of troops in Fujian.

But after entering Jiangxi, the second brigade expanded rapidly, quickly expanding to 3000 people.

According to Su Ze's military system, a brigade is full of 5000 people, but when it was still in its infancy, each brigade only had 1000 people.

But the skeletons of officers in each brigade have already been set up, so as long as they can quickly recruit troops, they will soon be filled.

Lin Liangjun's letter to Su Ze contained only two things, asking for food and ammunition.

Su Ze has sent all the food that Fujian can mobilize to Jiangxi, but facing the rapidly expanding second brigade, Su Ze still has a headache.

Fortunately, this year's autumn grain collection has already begun. As long as it remains stable for a while, the supplies for the second brigade can be guaranteed.

I just don’t know if the soldiers of the second brigade can get used to eating dried sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes.

As for guns and ammunition, the iron mine and mint built by Su Ze in Nanping have been transformed into an arsenal.

Little Eunuch You has returned to his mint near the Nanping mine, and has already begun to improve the barrel manufacturing process.

It's just that today's smelting technology is not enough, and it is necessary to remove impurities in the barrel by forging, so as to ensure that the barrel will not explode during long-term use.

However, after Little Eunuch You’s improvement, the use of hydraulic hammer for forging pretreatment, coupled with the semi-mechanized process of hydraulic hammering, now the entire workshop area can produce [-] rods of bird guns per day.

As for the matchless percussion gun that uses spring flint, due to the constraints of spring production, only [-] guns can be produced a day, and they are mainly distributed to sharpshooters and assaulters in the army.

In addition, a series of ammunition accessories such as lead pellets, gunpowder, and oil paper, together with standardized military rations, were shipped to the front line through unified channels.

Seeing that Lin Liangjun was asking for food and weapons again, Su Ze's blood pressure went up again. Can this guy fight without gunpowder?Look at how good Yu Zigao of the third brigade is. After he led the Qi family army into Zhangzhou Mansion, he quickly achieved results, and he never asked Su Ze for weapons.

In the history of peasant uprisings, Zhang Lian indeed belonged to this category.

Or maybe his luck was really bad.

In the history before Su Ze traveled, Zhang Lian was wiped out by Qi's army, even earlier than in this world.

On the timeline that has not been changed by Su Ze, when Qi Jiguang was fighting against the Japanese in Fujian, he "smoothly" wiped out Zhang Lian.

Zhang Lian's base camp is on the mountain between Guangdong and Fujian. After the failure of the war in southern Fujian, Zhang Lian built a stronghold on the mountain to protect himself.

However, these forts were connected end to end, and Zhang Lian had no serious military advisers who knew how to fight and camp, so the Ming army burned down the entire camp and completely burned down the base.

The rebel army suffered heavy casualties, so they led the remaining troops to sail out to sea from the Yunxiao River, combined with the maritime armed forces, and continued to fight against the Ming Dynasty.After that, he went south and captured Sriwijaya Island (today's Sumatra) and proclaimed himself emperor. He also occupied Old Port, Johor, Malacca and other places, and cultivated them for fishing. He was called Fanbo Chang. The local Zhangzhou and Quanzhou people and overseas Chinese immigrants all relied on him. .

The same result happened on this historical timeline changed by Su Ze.

After observing the layout of Zhang Lian's cottage, Yu Zigao is worthy of being a general. He was taught by Yu Dayou himself, and he is familiar with military books.

Later, under Su Ze's command, combined with Su Ze's military theory, he developed a set of his own tactics.

Yu Zigao improved the mandarin duck formation. On the basis of increasing the use of firearms, the complexity of the battle formation was simplified, making the mandarin duck formation, which was originally suitable for fighting in open areas, more suitable for fighting in mountainous areas.

Yu Zigao also proposed to strike the enemy first at a long-range range, and strive for a pre-emptive combat policy, emphasizing the importance of reconnaissance and early battle arrangements.

For Su Ze, he really found a treasure.

If Yu Zigao was in the original historical timeline, and finally became the general soldier of Fujian, although he was not as outstanding as his father Yu Dayou, he would still be a famous general of his generation.

After Yu Zigao discovered the loopholes in the Feilong Army camp, he personally observed the wind direction and led his elite soldiers into the vicinity of the Feilong Army camp.

While creating chaos, Yu Zigao tied a wine bottle to the mule.

These wine bottles are high-alcohol wines shipped from Quanzhou. Since the publication of "Tian Gong Kai Wu", some wine merchants have been able to sell 60-proof baijiu.

These liquors can be made into 80-90% alcohol after purification.

Su Ze bought a large amount of liquor and gave it to Yu Zigao after purification.

After Yu Zigao mixed the liquor and tung oil, he put cloth strips on the bottles, and then drove the mules to the Feilong army's camp. He used the fuse to control the ignition time, and waited until the mules entered the Feilong army's wooden camp. Only then did these wine bottles be ignited!

The huge explosion created a huge fireball that flooded the camp in an instant.

Under the effect of the wind direction, the fire spread quickly to the entire camp of the Flying Dragon Army.

Seeing that the fire was unstoppable, Zhang Lian could only take a boat on the Yunxiao River with his cronies, preparing to flee to Nanyang.

But this time Yu Zigao had already been reminded by Su Ze that he had already dispatched a navy to intercept him in the lower reaches of the Yunxiao River, and indeed captured Zhang Lian and a group of "princes and prime ministers".

Once the Flying Dragon Army was destroyed, Yu Zigao directly crossed the mountainous area between Fujian and Guangdong, and directly attacked Chaozhou Prefecture in Guangdong.

Look at Yu Zigao!
However, Lin Liangjun's progress is still good. Five days ago, he captured Fuzhou Prefecture in Jiangxi Province and pushed the front line to the edge of Poyang Lake.

The prefect of Fuzhou fled, and the counties also surrendered.

In fact, Fuzhou Prefecture is close to Nanchang, the provincial capital of Jiangxi Province, so it should not be so easy to capture.

It's just that the Ming court did too much, which made Jiangxi's troops empty, and even the Feilong army couldn't beat it.

Since the "Chenhao Rebellion" in the Zhengde period, King Ning's lineage was expelled.

Although the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty is often criticized for raising pigs, the vassal kings in some areas still have practical significance.

For example, Jiangxi has been a place full of rebels since ancient times. Since the early Ming Dynasty, there have been many rebels here. The Ming Dynasty set up a vassal state in Jiangxi to suppress these rebels.

I don't know whether this place in Jiangxi is a matter of food or Fengshui. During the Zhengde period, even the vassal kings rebelled.

After Zhu Chenhao was suppressed by Wang Yangming and King Ning was abolished, the imperial court did not continue to set up a vassal in Jiangxi.

This also led to the further weakening of Jiangxi's military strength. After that, several rebellions occurred in Jiangxi, including the religious rebellion of Luojiao, the madman's rebellion, and then the Flying Dragon Army. Jiangxi's military strength has bottomed out, let alone Fuzhou Now, the South Great Wall is very anxious, for fear of being attacked by the second brigade.

However, Lin Liangjun also kept Su Ze's teaching in mind. He only set up a defense line west of Fuzhou to prevent the Ming army from Nanchang from counterattacking, and then led the troops to continue eastward and attack Raozhou Mansion along Poyang Lake.

Lin Deyang, who marched from Zhejiang, led the new Zhejiang army to Jingdezhen.

Jingdezhen is an important town between Nanzhili and Jiangxi. Lin Deyang received the order to help Lin Liangjun block the reinforcements coming from Nanzhili, to ensure that Lin Liangjun can control the key cities along Poyang Lake, and build a navy to block the Yangtze River. .

Sure enough, Lin Deyang was blocked by the Ming army near Jingdezhen.

Zhang Juzheng's judgment on the situation was very correct, and he acted very decisively. He immediately sent all the available soldiers in Huizhou Prefecture to the border with Jiangxi.

After receiving the news that the Jiangxi governor asked for help, Zhang Juzheng immediately led [-] Huizhou soldiers into Jiangxi with Liu Shiyan, the sincere uncle, as the main general, and went straight to Jingdezhen, an important town.

Lin Deyang only had [-] new troops under his command, but Lin Deyang's new troops were all equipped with firearms. After being panicked by the surprise attack, Lin Deyang immediately organized a defense line and began to use firearms to counterattack.

It was the first time that the Ming army encountered such a concentrated use of firearms, and they were quickly beaten and retreated steadily.

Zhang Juzheng really knew people, and Liu Shiyan was really good at fighting. Under Lin Deyang's attack, he was able to stabilize the line of defense, and then asked Zhang Juzheng behind him for firearms and bows.

Zhang Juzheng gritted his teeth and transferred all the bows, arrows and firearms in the Nanjing treasury to the front line, which really caused the two armies to confront each other in front of Jingdezhen.

Being able to fight like this shows Liu Shiyan's brilliance, but he also knows very well that it is impossible for him to attack. Now the strategic intention has changed from occupying Jingdezhen and sniping the Fujian-Zhejiang coalition forces to relying on the border of Huizhou Prefecture. Yes, defend Huizhou Prefecture.

Zhang Juzheng couldn't help it, the Huizhou government was too important to Ming Dynasty.

Huizhou is one of the most prosperous prefectures in Southern Zhili, comparable to Su Song in its most prosperous time.

Nanzhili had already lost Su Song, and could no longer lose Huizhou Prefecture.

In addition, Huizhou Prefecture is also prosperous in culture and education, and many court officials are from Huizhou Prefecture.

For example, Wang Daokun, such as Xu Guo, Huizhou Prefecture has many officials in the court, and has a great say in the court.

If the Huizhou government falls, not to mention Liu Shiyan, Zhang Juzheng will not be able to bear this responsibility.

Lin Deyang kept Su Ze's strategic requirements in mind, and after leading troops into Jingdezhen, he did not continue to stimulate Liu Shiyan's army.

Lin Deyang discovered that the kiln households in Jingdezhen often deal with flames, are also very disciplined, and possess mechanical knowledge.

So he simply recruited recruits in Jingdezhen, and then continued to use the recruits to go to the front line for rounds.

His goal is to block the Ming army in Huizhou Prefecture. As long as this strategic goal is accomplished, Lin Deyang will be credited.

Because according to Su Ze's newly revised "Military Merit Regulations", when calculating military exploits and results, it is not just a simple calculation based on head capture.

Capturing enemy troops, strategic cover, etc. will all be counted in military merit.

In other words, even if Lin Deyang is not the main attacking force, as long as he can accomplish the set strategic goals, he is also a great achievement.

Five days later, Su Ze received the battle report that Lin Liangjun conquered Raozhou Mansion. As long as he conquered Nankang Mansion again, he would be able to occupy most of the cities along Poyang Lake.
