Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 132 Rockets and Chimes (for Subscription)
After arranging the matter of the cavalry, the two discussed the situation on the grassland. Now the Tumed tribe on the grassland is torn apart.

Since the defeat of Talik Khan in the Battle of Taohe, and later in Talik Khan's later years, San Niangzi indulged her grandson Su Nang Taiji, and by virtue of her military strength and economic strength, she became king and hegemony in the Tumote Department.

After the death of Talik Khan in the 35th year of Wanli, Su Nang claimed that "I should be the king" and blatantly usurped the throne.

He colluded with Ming An Taiji and expelled Bu Shitu (Bo Shuo Ketu), the legal heir to the throne, by force, which aroused the public indignation of various Taiji and leaders.

In the 39th year of Wanli, Namur Taiji united with 73 Taiji families to condemn Su Nang.San Niangzi and Su Nang's grandparents mobilized soldiers and horses, determined to resort to force.

The Ming court feared that the border would be endangered, so Tu Zongjun, governor of Xuanda, came forward to mediate. As a result, the two sides reached a temporary compromise. Bu Shitu attacked Shunyi Wang Jue in 41 years of Wanli, and Su Nang was promoted to governor.

Due to the division of the Tumed tribe, the right-wing tribes also broke away from the control of King Shunyi.The Hetao side is controlled by the Ordos Wanhu Department and the Wushen Wanhu Department.

This is a good time to win Hetao, Baotou, and Guihua City.Once the wild boar skin was dead, Huang Taiji came to power and faced the increasingly strong fortress of the Liaodong Ming army.

It is inevitable to turn around and attack the grassland, and first subdue the Mongols.If you sit back and watch Huang Taiji subdue the Mongols, then the nine sides of Ming Dynasty will face Jiannu's Bingfeng directly.

At that time, it was not possible to solve the problem by simply adding Liaoxiang, but adding a nine-sided sound.We will still go down the old road of government-driven rebellion.

After Zhang Zongxian analyzed the situation for the two disciples, he also gave them a task, which is to win Hetao within the next two years and Guihua City within three years.

After explaining the tasks of the two senior disciples, Zhang Zongxian returned to the Jiazhou government office. After returning to the government office, Zhang Zongxian issued a task to set up a rocket research team.

This thing can use black powder as the propellant, and the main thing is to tilt the nozzle in one direction, so that it will produce a gyroscopic effect when it is launched.

This trajectory will be very stable.And there is no need to make a long range, just increase the amount of charge, and it is enough to shoot five miles.

This is the weapon Zhang Zongxian prepared for the cavalry army. The warhead and the monomer are separated, and a horse can carry at least four rockets, similar to the 107 agricultural equipment in the previous life.

It can be fired single-shot or in groups. In terms of charge, it can hold three hundred catties of gunpowder, which can be used to attack the city.

And can develop a variety of warheads, arson bombs, flowering bombs, and shotguns.

Then Zhang Zongxian also learned from the previous Haisco metal mesh explosion-proof wall, designed the Ming version of the explosion-proof wall, and placed an order for the workshop to produce.

He also drew the engineer shovel from his previous life, and placed an order with the workshop.

Just wait for autumn to launch the first wave of offensive to Hetao.

At the end of June, the newly-appointed prefect of Yan'an, who was also the former general judge, sent someone to find Mr. Ma and asked Mr. Ma to go to Yan'an mansion for a briefing.

Master Ma immediately reported the matter to Zhang Zongxian, and Master Ma analyzed that the magistrate must have taken refuge in the governor's side, otherwise it would not be his turn to be promoted to the magistrate.

I should be looking for him because I want to express my goodwill, and I shouldn't learn from someone who deliberately came to find trouble.

Zhang Zongxian approved Master Ma's analysis, the new official took office.After all, he is the immediate boss, so he still has to give the face that should be given.

According to the rules, as soon as he takes office, he should be sent to pay respects. Since he came to the door, let Mr. Ma go to pay respects to the new magistrate, and then find out the prefect's tone.

Master Ma came to Yan'an Mansion with a gift.Although it was invited by the other party, but now that he is the magistrate, naturally he can't make an appointment to drink tea in a teahouse like before.

I can only send a greeting post first to see when the magistrate has time to see him.

Soon there was a message from the magistrate, that we would meet again at the teahouse where we tasted tea before, and let Mr. Ma go alone.Now Master Ma can't be messed with, why is the magistrate so condescending!

When the appointed day came, Mr. Ma went to the place ahead of time, prepared tea and waited for the magistrate to arrive.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door, opened the door on behalf of Master Ma, and saw the current prefect of Yan'an Prefecture in disguise.

"Brother Bond, stay safe and sound!"

Master Ma was really surprised when he saw the majestic fourth-rank officials dressed up like this.

"Brother Jing Qing's new official position is so high!"

Why?Only after becoming a magistrate did I know that your prefecture has caused too many storms within a year of coming to this frontier.I called you here just to question you.

"Why did you come here? Brother Bond should ask your home state!"

These words made Master Ma even more confused.Not daring to make friends with each other as peers anymore, so he quickly changed the title.

"Lord Zhifu, but what is wrong with my lord? I forgot Haihan, lord of the prefect! It turned out that my lord was not polite, but now he has sent me to make amends to him?"

The prefect first sat down and took a sip of tea before saying:
"Good tea! Such good tea is in the entire Northwest, that is, your home prefecture can drink tea every day. It is so rich that the country raises heavy soldiers privately, recruits disciples, and opens a school to teach. Is your lord planning to rebel?"

One sentence confused Mr. Ma, rebellion?

"Master Zhifu, where do you start? My lord is also an imperial court official. How can an imperial court official want to rebel."

Your Zhizhou didn't want to rebel, why did you wantonly recruit cavalry troops in Qingshuiying and Huangpu Chuanbao.He also recruited disciples to establish a sect and did not teach the Four Books and Five Classics. Instead, he used legislation to confuse people's hearts, and bought people with farm tools and cattle.

Isn't this preparation for rebellion?

Master Ma immediately argued:

The recruits were all caravan guards, and horse bandits were rampant in the grasslands, and they refused to accept Wang Hua, so they did it as a last resort.And those were all done by private caravans, and have nothing to do with my lord.

The founding of my family is also to pursue the sages of Legalism.Find ways to rule the country.

Loaning cattle and farm tools to the common people was done by Tai Ping Hao. My lord just encouraged merchants not to harm the common people.

This is the way to be an official!Don't believe the words of those villains, magistrate, my lord has always cared about the imperial court, so the briquette monopoly is my lord's proposal.

To increase revenue for the treasury without burdening the common people, not only that, the yamen under the rule of my family will shout three times a day to the imperial city, long live the emperor and long live the Ming Dynasty.

Doesn't this prove my lord's loyalty to Daming and the emperor?
The prefect knew what Mr. Ma said, but he always felt that something was wrong. After he was promoted to the prefect, he was called to his side by the governor and told him about Zhang Zongxian's actions in Yansui Town.

They admit that Zhang Zongxian is a man of great talent, but judging from Zhang Zongxian's actions, he is also a cruel and ruthless person, quite a hero.

They are also afraid that if Zhang Zongxian has an irresistible heart, now Yansui Town will fall to Liaodong.

The rest are empty pay.If Zhang Zongxian really wants to rebel, local officials like them will bear the brunt.He intends to report Zhang Zongxian, but he is afraid that Zhang Zongxian will be turned against him.

After thinking about it, the magistrate disguised himself to test Master Ma.

After listening to Master Ma's words, the magistrate did not argue with Master Ma.Instead Sri drank his tea slowly.

When Master Ma met the magistrate, he knew that his words had worked.I also understand that they must be afraid of the new army's combat power.continued:
Brother Jing Qing's Mingqian Longjing was picked from the eighteen tea trees on the edge of the West Lake that were paid tribute to the emperor, and each tree can only pick two taels a year.Transported from Hangzhou to the frontier.

Every liang of tea is worth no less than a thousand taels of silver. My adults knew that Brother Jing Qing likes tea, so he sent someone to Hangzhou to buy it for Brother Jing Qing to taste.

Brother Jing Qing is saying that a gentleman loves money and obtains it in a proper way. The woolen workshop consumes 10,000+ catties of wool a month, and the wool has to be brought in from the grassland.

In order to buy wool, the caravan ran farther and farther, and the wool in the bitter cold grassland was bought by that human life, so they had to recruit more people to supplement it.

The governor also knows that this wool is not easy to handle.Besides, if my lord hadn't made some preparations, he must have been killed by the horse bandit in Qingjian County.

Now that the industry is getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid that thieves will miss it!
The magistrate took another sip of tea, closed his eyes and thought about it vividly.

"Yes! Gentlemen love money and get it in a proper way. Your home state is afraid of thieves thinking about it, and we are also afraid! I heard that your home state is still building a bridge on the Yellow River. I'm afraid it's not going to go straight to the capital."

Brother Jing Qing was joking, not to mention the two towns of Xuanfu and Datong along the way, even our Yansui Town will not sit idly by.My lord builds the bridge for the sake of the court and the common people!

Once this bridge is connected to the grain transported to Yansui Town, there will be no detours, the imperial court can reduce the loss on the road, and the people serving in the army can go home earlier!
"Brother Bond's rebellion is to punish the nine clans, so don't mistake yourself or your family!"

Brother Jing Qing said so much, you still misunderstood my lord!My lord is surrounded by a hundred households of Jinyiwei, and the father-in-laws in the inner court all know my lord's loyalty.

It is said that the emperor had intended to call my lord to Beijing at the beginning, but the emperor felt that my lord was not experienced enough, and wanted my lord to have a few more years of local experience.

Having said all this, the magistrate also understood that it was not intentional to continue talking, whoever made Zhang Zongxian have a deep enough background, unless he really rebelled, he would only get reprimanded if he sued him, and then he stated the bottom line of the governor's account.

In fact, building a bridge in your prefecture is a great thing for the people in Shanxi and Shanxi. The governor is always on the side, so please help me a lot.I want me to work together to complete this first story of all time.

In addition, Qingshui Camp and Huangpu Chuanbao have quotas for soldiers, so they must not be recruited arbitrarily, otherwise the governor will not condone, and Yansui Town will never tolerate rebellion due to the state's grace.

Master Ma understood, and it was all about returning his name.Building a bridge over the Yellow River is a huge political achievement. The governor and prefect want to participate and leave a name.After all, the bridge is completed, and it can be reported to the emperor as an auspicious sign at that time.

And it's a matter of leaving a name through the ages, who doesn't want to leave a good reputation in the history books.Based on Master Ma's understanding of Zhang Zongxian, he knew that Zhang Zongxian would not care about this matter, it was just a matter of filling in a few names.

Brother Jing Qing and the governor can support the bridge construction, which is what my family is looking forward to. When the bridge is completed, the two must go to observe it.As for the defense of Naqingshui Camp and Huangpu Chuanbao

He is a student of my lord, my lord will definitely discipline him strictly, just let the governor rest assured.

"Then there is Brother Lao Bond. There is another matter that I need to trouble Brother Bond. A brother in my family also wants to sell wool. He collected five thousand shi of grain. I wonder if Brother Bond can help us."

At this time, the chief soldier and the magistrate have both bought shares, and they also want to participate in a share.After working for a long time, I still need money!But Mr. Ma can't decide this kind of thing.

"Brother Jing Qing, let me take this matter for a few days, I will give Brother Jing Qing a letter when I get back later."

"Brother Bond, come and taste this tea together."

After Mr. Ma went back to report to Zhang Zongxian, Zhang Zongxian realized that the disturbance he had made recently was a bit louder.The governor was held by him, so he didn't dare to sue him directly, and he was reluctant to share the dividends from the woolen workshop, so he sent the prefect to find out.

In the future, Yunong must pay attention to the point of placing the cavalry in a safe place outside the side wall.

As for the prefect wanting to take a stake, there is no problem.Anyway, the prefect was willing to exchange grain, so he gave half of the shares to the prefect of Yan'an.It is said that the specific dividend is not so much.However, 1 taels will be given a year.

As for the construction of the bridge, the construction side of the Wang family is now cooperating with Diao Sanyi, and the iron furnace has been built on the edge of the Yellow River, but this is also an unprecedented challenge for the two families.

Although it is a chain bridge, it can't be rushed. Let them build it slowly.

Then he ordered his subordinates to send the profit from the private salt to the magistrate and the governor's office every month according to the rules.The same is true in other places, and the county will give everything that should be given.

After the monthly meeting of its properties was held on July [-]st, and everyone dispersed, Hu Biao stayed behind, saying that he wanted to present a gift to Zhang Zongxian for his son.

It turned out that Hu Zhongxin did not manage his juniors well during the last exercise, and Zhang Zongxian removed his status as a direct disciple.When Hu Biao found out, he beat Hu Zhongxin severely.

In order to restore his son's status as a direct disciple by doing meritorious service, I heard that the chime bell is one of the tasks assigned by the school.He did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to purchase a chime clock from the south.

Zhang Zongxian looked at the chiming bell carried up by Hu Biao, and lamented the pity of the world's parents.But originally Zhang Zongxian wanted to arrange a task for Hu Zhongxing, let him make meritorious service and restore his status as a direct disciple.

"Old Hu, you are too arrogant and indulgent towards the child. You used to send him to the caravan."

Hu Biao smiled and said:

"Your Excellency used to have no choice. Now, thanks to Your Excellency, we are also officials. Naturally, we want our son to be better."

"I accept the bell, but I can't let this kid pass the test so easily, I have to make him suffer a little more."

It's up to adults to arrange.

After Hu Biao left, Zhang Zongxian called Hu Zhongxin and re-arranged a task for him, which was to make a self-ringing clock that could be carried with him.

The size cannot exceed the helmet, and it can be mass-produced.When he is done, he will resume his status as a direct disciple.

After Hu Zhongxin accepted the task, he immediately summoned the inner disciples who were punished together with him to discuss how to fulfill the requirements of the master.

The principle Zhang Zongxian told them, but some people tried to make it, but they have not been successful.

Now that there is a sample in front of him, it saves a lot of trouble.According to Zhang Zongxian's teaching, the disciples first divide the work.Ask the painter to draw the mechanical mechanism before it is disassembled.

Then record each step during disassembly, and the position and size of each part.After repeated disassembly and assembly several times to figure out the internal structure.

All the disciples began to find workers to order parts, thinking of making an exact copy first.
