Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 19
After Hu Biao left, the horse market also started working.The whole county became active, and the landless people got a good job to feed their families, and the people didn't need to pay taxes when they entered the city, and they took all the melons, fruits, vegetables, chicken, duck and fish that they produced and collected. For sale in the county seat, Zhang Zongxian also arranged to designate a market at the north gate for the people outside the city to use.

Merchants from other places are also willing to come to Qingjian County to do business.After all, the government servants and common people here are more disciplined, and they will not only favor the locals when they go to the county government to file a complaint.In this way, Qingjian County is becoming more and more lively, which has stimulated the growth of all walks of life.

In addition to handling the official duties of the county government, Zhang Zongxian went to the school field to teach his officer corps every day.Now that group of Xiaozao soldiers has met the requirements set at the beginning.Just wait for the first batch of Lumi guns to be made, and the appointment will be announced when the guns are awarded.

In this way, more than half a month after Zhang Zongxian officially took office, the first batch of 50 Lumi guns were made.Immediately, Liang Chen was arranged to try out the gun in the school grounds.

The trial results are very satisfactory. The power of 150 steps is still amazing.It is estimated that in the case of fixed ammunition in a bamboo tube, three rounds can be shot in one minute. Although it is not as good as a flintlock gun, it is enough to deal with existing enemies.

The gun sword was also made, but it was not ideal after use.It is easy to fall out, and it is easy to get stuck in the target after being inserted into the target.Zhang Zongxian immediately gave up the idea of ​​equipping gun swords, and ordered another batch of waist knives.

After checking and accepting the Lumi gun, Zhang Zongxian called the old craftsman over, showed him the illustration of the flintlock gun he had drawn, and asked the old craftsman if he could make such a self-generating gun.After researching for a long time, the old craftsman said: "Xianzun's firecracker can be made, but the ordinary steel of the flint mechanism can't do it! It needs elastic steel. This kind of steel is hard to find, and I don't know where to find it."

"Then don't you want to build a furnace to practice iron? Then try to practice this spring steel by the way. I can give you a separate test fee. You can also go to outside craftsmen, or look up more ancient books. More experiments will lead to a better future." Made it. Let me tell you the truth. If this self-generating firecracker is made, the imperial court will purchase more than [-] pieces. The Ming Dynasty will buy as many self-generating firecrackers as there are troops. And you have to continue to study how to use the self-generating firecracker. Only then can it be fixed on the blunderbuss and not fall off."

"The villain understands, and will spare no effort to make it."

"I can also make a promise to you, as long as you get this self-generated fire gun, I can get you a Jinyiwei hereditary family of hundreds of households, and get rid of this low status."

"The kind and loving villain of the county has no teeth to forget, this self-generated firecracker villain will get it out even if he is exhausted"

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, speed up the production of Lumi guns, and I will ask Ding Bo to order 1000 pieces from you."

Immediately, Ding Bo was called to arrange to sign the contract.

After trying out the Lumi gun, Zhang Zongxian and Liang Chen began to determine the candidates for the officers. They selected 30 chief and deputy squad leaders, 10 chief and deputy platoon leaders, and Liang Chen as the company commander.The plan is to award these officers and soldiers for good behavior tomorrow.

The next day, although there was no professional military band, Zhang Zongxian still called the theater troupe to play the general's order beside him.Under the banner of Zhang Zida, Zhang Zongxian personally awarded guns and military uniforms to every officer.Starting from the good ministers and going down one by one.Every officer will shout "Daming Wansheng" to Zhang Zongxian after taking the stage, and Zhang Zongxian will return the salute.

Each person is given a Lumi gun, a brave iron helmet, a black robe, a pair of black trousers, a red cloth face armor, a pair of lobster armguards, a gray scarf, a black backpack, and a bamboo tube ammunition belt One, one powder pot, one matchlock, two black leggings, one pair of cloth shoes, and the waist knife will be reissued later.

After all the officers had distributed their equipment and changed their outfits, Liang Chen led a demonstration to Zhang Zongxian.In Zhang Zongxian's view, this army is already a bit strong, and if you practice line shooting to see the blood, this new army will become a new army. At that time, with these troops as the backbone, you can quickly expand the army.

After the gun awarding ceremony, Zhang Zongxian gathered these officers together and held a small meeting for them.After a while, each squad leader was asked to distribute military uniforms to each squad member.They are asked to use the existing Lumi guns to practice loading and shooting in turn, and don't be afraid of damaging the guns. These guns are for training.Every soldier is required to shoot three shots within 10 breaths.And from today Zhang Zongxian will tell them the training requirements of the line infantry.

After talking about this, Liangchen arranged for five soldiers to learn waist drums.Also asked to prepare a whistle for each officer.

Hu Biao came back within two days.This time he brought his wife, children and parents.On the day Hu Biao came, Zhang Zongxian asked his son Hu Qingzhen to do the apprenticeship ceremony directly.After Hu Biao settled his family, he took 200 catties of Erguotou to the grassland to explore the way.

In addition to accepting Hu Biao's son, he also selected two people from the ten families of craftsmen and Wang Laosan's family as disciples.

In order to control these disciples, Zhang Zongxian also drove them to do things for him.After thinking about it, Zhang Zongxian decided to fabricate a school of thought.After perfecting the logic and compiling the content, it is mainly the philosophical masterpiece of the previous life. After compiling, he called all his disciples and began to brainwash them.

After the five disciples arrived, Zhang Zongxian raised his airs and began to speak in a very serious tone:
"Although you are all my disciples, I have never told you clearly what I want to teach you? Today I will tell you about the origin of our school."

"This school originated from Legalism, which always took the responsibility of enriching the country and strengthening the army. After the death of Qin Dynasty, it deeply felt the insufficiency of Legalism, and then combined with Mohist theory to continue to improve the thought of this school. Later, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished Confucianism, which is dominated by a hundred schools of thought, since then From then on, the disciples of this school no longer disclosed their identities, but only quietly entered the court to practice their ideas as officials. The disciples communicated with each other in secret words. After that, it was passed down to my generation through several dynasties. It has been thousands of years. I am also the last descendant. The heir of the previous generation is my father."

"After assisting countless emperors and generals for several dynasties, I deeply felt that unlimited power would only bring disasters to the people, and finally established the core idea of ​​enlightening the people's wisdom internally, equal power, and ruling the country according to the law. Ultimately, the goal is to let the people of the world Everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone has books to read. Let there be no servants, artisans, military households, and those so-called humble people in this world. Protected and limited."

The name of this sect hidden in the world for thousands of years has long been forgotten.Only Dafa has been passed down to this day.This school takes "On Practice" and "On Contradiction" as the main method, and takes mathematics as the auxiliary method.These are the summaries of the sages of the past dynasties governing the world.This is what one must learn to become a teacher.Afterwards, you can learn the method of training soldiers, the rule of law, the method of business, and the method of investigating things according to your own wishes.

"Now the annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty is less than 3000 million taels, but half of it is used to support the vassals and the palace. Half of the land in the world has been annexed by officials, gentry and vassals, and the remaining fields of the common people have to bear the entire land of the Ming Dynasty. Taxes. Already terminally ill, coupled with the corruption of officials, the country is about to undergo major changes.

The Jurchens outside Liaodong have risen and cannot be controlled. If the court wants to fight in Liaodong, it will have to increase taxes. Corrupt officials will take the opportunity to exploit the people. The people in this land of Gansu and Shaanxi are already impoverished, and a single spark can turn into a prairie fire at any time.

Once the common people rebel, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be lost, and the wild boar skin will definitely take the opportunity to enter the pass.That will definitely be the tragedy of the five random Chinese people again, and we Han people will be reduced to those two-legged sheep again!

This is also the purpose of coming to Shaanxi as a teacher. As a teacher, I want to save the people from the fire and water with what I have learned all my life, and I want to change the national policy for the extreme ministers, and formulate a law to limit the imperial power.

Some of you are still young and may not understand these principles, now just remember that the ultimate goal of our sect is to make everyone in the world have food, clothing and books.”

Next, let me tell you about the rules of our sect.

The first rule of this sect is not to tell or mention this sect to outsiders.
Article [-] All actions are subject to the arrangement of the elders

Article [-] No effect for foreigners
Article [-] The same family shall not kill each other

Article [-] Do not divulge the secrets of the sect

Article [-] A gentleman loves money and obtains it in a proper way, not to oppress the people, rape and rob

Article [-] Whether you are an official or a general, you should put the state affairs first and the people first
Violation of any of the above seven articles shall be discussed together.

In the past, there were many elders in the sect, usually 7 or 9, and the members of the elders were selected by the disciples in the sect.Now the elder is only one teacher, and he will be selected after the disciples spread all over the world in the future.Now just listen to the arrangements for the teacher.In order to cope with the coming great changes and save the common people from the misery, from now on, we will recruit disciples for the master association, with the apprentices as the core disciples, and the registered disciples will only teach the methods of management, military training, rule of law, business, and investigation of things. Only the core disciples can learn the true Dharma.

Next year the imperial court will send a large army to conquer the Jurchens, good ministers, you have to step up your training and wait for the 200 soldiers to be trained, and continue to recruit troops to train at least one regiment.After training, the young and strong from all villages will be gathered to train soldiers during the slack season as reserve soldiers.Next year you may go on an expedition to Liaodong, you have to be prepared.

"A good minister understands that a good minister will fight to the death for the people of Ming Dynasty and will never live by idling."

Going to Liaodong is also necessary to learn about Jurchen for the future. With the strength of the Ming Dynasty's frontier army and the fact that the court is full of wine bags and rice bags, I am afraid that it will be defeated next year!Good minister, if you train your troops with all your heart, then the teacher will have a perfect plan to keep you safe and retreat.

Liang Chengyuan, Hu Zhongxing (the son of Hu Biao), Liu Jiansheng (the grandson of the old craftsman), Wang Guofu (the grandson of Wang Laosan), the four of you should remember what I said today, abide by the rules of the sect, and study the Dafa of our sect, otherwise I will never Not lightly.

From now on, the four of you will study in this backyard. You must first learn to read and write and then learn mathematics. You must learn to read and write 1000 words within half a year, and you must learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within 100 in mathematics.I will make a plan for you how much you must learn every day, and if you can't finish it, you will play handboard.

Starting from tomorrow morning, when I wake up, I will go to the school grounds to run and keep fit with your senior brothers. After that, I will go to the county school to learn how to write.

We must remember that a man must have great ambition, and to show this lofty ambition, he must study hard and practice hard.

After talking about these, Zhang Zongxian took them to worship the sages, and determined before the sages that everyone in the world has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone has books to read.
