Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Suiyuan City!
The Ming army's shelling outside the city continued.

Amidst the deafening sound of shelling, shells were launched unscrupulously in the direction of Suiyuan City.

The Ming army's artillery groups released their firepower unscrupulously.

Amidst the rumbling shelling, the walls of Suiyuan City quickly collapsed.

It turned into ruins in the blink of an eye!
Bricks, rocks, sand and soil piled together to form a hill.

Many Mongolian soldiers hid under the curved surface behind the hill and shivered, not even daring to expose their heads, for fear of being affected by the Ming army's shelling and leaving their bodies intact.

At this time, under the overwhelming bombardment of the Ming army, the only way to give them a little sense of security was to lie on the ground and shrink their heads.

Immediately, the muzzles of the Ming army's heavy artillery were raised and they began to aim at Suiyuan City and shoot deeply.

Boom! Boom!
Amidst the deafening sound of shelling, shells flew across the sky.

Explosions continued, solid shells rolled and rotated forward, and buildings were flattened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Jing'an just ordered with a cold face.

"Send the order to the entire army to launch an attack."

"Capture Suiyuan City for me!"

Immediately, bursts of war drums and deep and powerful horn sounds were heard throughout the battlefield.

Groups of Ming army infantry began to rush towards Suiyuan City under the cover of artillery bombardment.

The red flag with clear characters was flying in the wind, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke.

Amid the shouts of killing, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty continued to surge forward like a wave.

As the Ming Army's siege troops continued to advance, the Ming Army's artillery also began to fire extended shots.

The impact point of the artillery shells keeps moving forward!

Recently, the impact point of the artillery shells was only more than 100 meters away from the forward line of the Ming army's attacking troops.

Extremely thrilling!

On the battlefield at this time, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty showed extremely high tactical literacy, and they used the tactics of infantry and artillery coordination extremely smoothly.

Soon, the Ming army rushed to the ruins of Suiyuan City's collapsed walls and began to climb.

At this time, a Mongolian soldier named Tumote also poked his head out from behind the mound.

He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, wanting to shoot at the climbing Ming soldiers!

However, before he could fully draw the bow string, a gunshot was heard, and a ball of blood burst out from the chests of the Tumut soldiers.

He fell down directly at the sound and fell from the mound of rubble.

In the distance, a rifle shooter of the Ming Army blew away the smoke from the muzzle, and then continued to load the rifle in his hand.

Soon, under the cover of rifle guns and shelling, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rushed into Suiyuan City with loud shouts of killing.

Many people directly held their muskets with bayonets and launched a bayonet charge at the enemy in front of them.

The sharp bayonets formed a dazzling forest of bayonets.

"Kill!"

"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

"Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"

"Long live!"

"..."

During this Northern Expedition, the morale of the Ming army was very high.

Because everyone knows that what they are doing now is a great cause.

At that time, our ancestors were unable to do their best in the Northern Expedition and completely clear the grasslands. As a result, China was overthrown and the Qing Dynasty was humiliated by shaving their heads and surrendering.

What they are doing now is to create a better future for future generations!
They want to completely clear out the grassland and completely bring the grassland under the rule of the Han family!
In the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, from now on, they will make all nomadic peoples able to sing and dance, so that they will no longer be in trouble.

Well, the kind who was good at singing and dancing when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty asked the Turk Jili Khan to perform dances in front of the palace!
Amid the shouts of killing, a large number of Ming troops entered Suiyuan City.

Almost all the enemies they encountered were defeated at the first touch, and they were not at all the enemies of the Ming army.

Those Mongolians had almost no courage to fight when faced with the bayonet charge of the Ming army.

If the battlefield between the two sides was in the wilderness on the grassland, then the Mongols might be able to defeat the Ming army a few times with their superb riding skills.

At the very least, it will not be easy for the Ming army to eliminate them!

The Mongols are basically cavalry. If you can't defeat them, you can still run away.

It is absolutely difficult to catch the Mongolian cavalry who want to run away on the Mongolian grassland.

Zhu Di at that time should have been quite touched by this.

But who said it was the Mongols who were stupid this time?
Actually preparing to fight an offensive and defensive battle with the Ming army...

Haha, what’s the difference between this and actively giving heads to the Ming army?
If the cavalry can still gain some advantage in a confrontation with the Mongols, then the Mongols can still gain some advantage.

The Mongols will definitely not be able to attack and defend the city.

At the beginning of the battlefield, they were stunned by the Ming army's heavy artillery.

When Kelsang and others realized that they were making a fool of themselves by engaging in an offensive and defensive war with the Ming army, Suiyuan City had long been heavily surrounded by the Ming army.

Naturally, they became the old turtle caught in the urn!

Therefore, the war situation has evolved to the current situation.

The Ming army completely occupied the initiative on the battlefield and was about to achieve complete victory.

Soon, under Zhu Jing'an's watch, the flag of the Tumote tribe in Suiyuan City was lowered.

Instead, there was a large flag flying high!

There were constant cries of killing in Suiyuan City. The Ming army was quickly clearing order in the city and searching for and killing the Mongolian soldiers who persisted in resisting.

After the Ming army invaded Suiyuan City, the frequency of shelling by the Ming army's artillery groups gradually slowed down, and then slowly stopped.

In this way, the gunfire and screams in Suiyuan City became more and more obvious!
Zhu Jing'an put down the telescope in his hand and spoke with a slightly excited expression.

"Suiyuan City is about to be captured!"

"After the city of Suiyuan is destroyed, the newly returned Mongolians who surrendered to our army will be stained with blood and submit a pledge of honor."

"No mistakes!"

The meaning of the name Zhu Jing'an refers to is very clear.

Let the newly surrendered Mongols do the massacre of the city.

Zhu Jing'an wanted to use this method to force the newly surrendered Mongols to follow the Ming Dynasty all the way.

As for whether doing so will turn the newly surrendered Mongols against the Ming Dynasty?
Haha, Zhu Jing'an doesn't care.

Zhu Jing'an now has three cavalry divisions, five infantry divisions, an artillery brigade, and an elite force of less than 100,000 people.

As long as someone dares to rebel, Zhu Jing'an will suppress him.

Besides, this issue is actually a bit worrying.

People in this era actually do not have particularly strong national concepts.

It will take almost a hundred years for the world's national consciousness to awaken.

Nowadays, people generally believe that whoever has more breasts is a mother, and whoever gives them more will follow them.

As long as Zhu Jing'an's treatment is sufficient, the newly surrendered Mongols will not mind exchanging their own glory and wealth with the heads of their own people.

In the eyes of many people, their own tribe only refers to people of the same tribe, and has nothing to do with their ethnicity.

The Ming army officer on the side heard the words, clasped his fists to accept the order, and immediately went to pass the order.

……

Outside the capital city, beside the Tonghui River.

Niu Zhuang and his fellow workers stood in line on the dock, waiting to receive the goods.

The entire dock is full of workers wearing uniforms.

The word "railroad" is written on the backs of these workers, and their own numbers are embroidered in a circle on their chests.

For example, Niu Zhuang, his number is C011374.

The C here refers to the classification of workers.

The ordinary worker is C, the skilled worker is B, and the professional railway engineer is A.

Niu Zhuang's number means that he is the 11374th ordinary worker.

On the construction site where the imperial court built the railway, the number was Niu Zhuang's identity certificate.

Whether he is eating, bathing, defecating, or receiving wages, he must have a number.

Niu Zhuang stood in line on the dock, and soon it was his turn to come forward to work.

He followed the team forward, lifted a sleeper from the ferry at the pier, and moved the sleeper to a trolley in the distance.

Then several people worked together to pull the cart towards the construction site.

Along the way, they could see people pulling carts back and forth from time to time.

Some carts pull sleepers, while others pull rails.

Looking at the rails, Niu Zhuang couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, his eyes were a little hot.

After all, it is all pure iron!
If it could be stolen, how many scythes and hoes could be made after a railroad track melted? How much can it be sold for?
However, when he saw several mummies hanging in the wind on a flagpole not far away, Niu Zhuang forced himself to give up this unrealistic idea.

The imperial court had recently issued a decree stating that anyone who steals train tracks will be punished as a crime of treason.

The least severe punishment is beheading and hanging the body for public display.

If the circumstances are serious, they should be punished by association.

No, there are people who do not believe in evil and want to challenge the laws of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the railroad tracks were stolen on the first day, and the whole family was beheaded and hung on the flagpole for public display on the second day.

Do you really think that the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty were vegetarians?

There are so many railroad tracks, and they cannot be stolen or discovered.

Moreover, the target of the railway track is so big that you can’t even hide it.

If you dare to steal from the imperial court, you will be arrested and killed.

Then no one would dare to mess with the railroad tracks again.

It's not worth risking the whole family's life for money.

After all, the corpses are still hanging in front of your eyes. No one can murmur in their hearts when they think about the railway tracks.

Soon, after delivering the sleepers to the construction site, Niu Zhuang and others pushed the cart and rushed towards the dock again.

Nowadays, the construction site of Ming Dynasty's railway construction has a clear division of labor plan, and different people do different jobs.

Niu Zhuang and his team are doing the work of transporting materials, so that transporter is fine.

Others will naturally be responsible for the other work!

Soon, after working hard all morning, it was finally time to rest.

Niu Zhuang followed the team to get today's lunch, which consisted of three multigrain steamed buns per person, a bowl of thick multigrain sweet potato porridge, and a portion of pickles.

The food is not rich, but it is enough to fill your stomach.

Everyone wolfed down the food.

Especially those victims recruited by the imperial court in Henan.

They haven't had a full meal in a long time...

Farmers in this era actually lived a very hard life. Unless there was a festival or when they had to work hard for the autumn harvest, they usually only had two meals a day.

One breakfast, one dinner, and often half full.

Not to mention the victims.

But now the food supply standard provided by the Ming Dynasty on the construction site is three meals a day. Although it is two dry meals and one thin meal, each person only has a bowl of porridge and water to fill his stomach at night.

But for farmers in this era, this treatment is still the best.

Besides, the Ming court is not recruiting corvees now, so let them work in vain.

Instead, they are recruiting workers and paying them in addition to taking care of food, food, and housing.

Taking care of food and housing, his monthly income of one silver dollar has exceeded 90% of the people of his generation.

You know, in this era, farmers in this era work for a whole family for a whole year, and most of the time they just have food and clothing, and basically can't save much money.

In case of any natural or man-made disaster, the landlord would still be owed money.

Compare the current recruitment conditions of the Ming Dynasty. They are responsible for food, food, housing and wages. One silver dollar a month, which is twelve dollars a year.

Enough to get a wife!

If it is in the countryside, it is not a problem for one person to work to support a family of three.

This treatment is definitely not bad.

Besides, if you feel tired and don’t want to do it anymore, you can leave at any time without force.

The most indispensable thing in Ming Dynasty now is people. If you don’t want to do it, there are plenty of people who want to do it.

Niu Zhuang received his lunch and immediately started eating.

Take a bite of multigrain steamed buns, eat a bite of pickles, and then drink porridge water to smoothen it down...

After working hard all morning, Niu Zhuang, who was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, felt as if he could eat a cow.

I ate a steamed bun in two bites to cushion my stomach, and then started eating slowly.

Soon, he finished his lunch, then went to get a bowl of mung bean soup, squatted in the corner and drank it slowly.

After the meal, there is a portion of mung bean soup per person to relieve the heat.

Niu Zhuangpin sipped the sweet taste of mung bean soup, the expression on his face was full of enjoyment...

Although it is only early summer, the weather is already starting to get hotter.

The highest temperature during the day can reach 30 to 40 degrees, and people often faint on the construction site due to heatstroke.

In order to avoid heat stroke among workers as much as possible, Zhu Jianzhuo personally intervened in the matter and ordered his subordinates to prepare mung bean soup on the construction site to cool down the heat.

In addition, I also approved that workers on the construction site can take an hour's lunch break before working again after lunch.

However, after eating lunch, Niu Zhuang did not find a shady place to take a nap like others.

Instead, he went to a tea stall outside the construction site to sell a pot of herbal tea and a pile of melon seeds, and led him to the pavilion where Class B workers rested.

After wiping his sweat with a towel that was put around his neck and stained yellow by sweat, Niu Zhuang greeted into the pergola.

"Brother Wang, I brought a pot of tea to see you."

The Wang brother Niu Zhuang calls is Wang Shun. He is a man younger than him, tall and thin.

Wang Shun and Niu Zhuang were from the same hometown.

But unlike Niu Zhuang, Wang Shun is skilled, so he is a Grade B skilled worker.

Even if we don't talk about wages, the living conditions are much higher than those of ordinary Class C workers such as Niu Zhuang.

For example, the lunch for Niu Zhuang and others is three steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, and a portion of pickles per person. This is a fixed amount, and no one can take more.

But skilled workers such as Wang Shun can eat as much as they want until they are full. As long as you can eat, there is no limit.

As for more senior Grade A engineers, their remuneration is better.

Class A engineers do not eat with them, but have separate small stoves. It is said that they have white flour, steamed buns and rice to eat every day.

Each person is even given an egg every day, and can eat meat every now and then to replenish oil and water.

But it makes Niu Zhuang and others envious!

Niu Zhuang didn't want to be a hard-working general worker all the time, so in the past few days, he used his status as a fellow villager to come to Wang Shun to get close to him.

He sends gifts to Wang Shun every day to flatter him.

I just hope that Wang Shun can teach him some skills so that he can become a skilled worker.

Instead of just working hard!

……

Ding Yi is one of the researchers in the steam train research and development group of the Nanjing Daming Royal Academy of Sciences.

After the Ming Dynasty launched the railway construction plan connecting the north and the south, Ding Yi was promoted to be one of the persons in charge of the railway construction project.

Responsible for solving various technical problems for railway construction projects!
Consider him a technical officer!

In the current Ming Dynasty, such officials are still very popular.

Under Zhu Jing'an's influence, when selecting officials at the Ministry of Revenue, technical officials were promoted first.

How should I put it? What is good at the top must be good at the bottom.

Zhu Jing'an likes technical officials, and the people below him naturally know what to do.

Ding Yi sat in a carriage, which drove all the way into the imperial city.

After he got out of the car for inspection, a young eunuch came up and said.

"Slave Xiao Linzi, Master Ding, please come with me."

After saying this, Xiao Linzi led the way, taking Ding Yi all the way to the Yangxin Hall.

After arriving outside the Yangxin Hall, Xiao Linzi took Ding Yi to a side room and spoke.

"Lord Laoding is waiting here for now. His Majesty is meeting with Lord Li, the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. When your Majesty announces his visit, your servant will come to summon Lord Ding."

When Ding Yi heard this, he just nodded dully.

As a technical officer, Ding Yi is a typical science and engineering man who focuses entirely on research and does not know much about the world.

Xiao Linzi didn't care when he saw this, and just continued to speak.

"There are melon and fruit refreshments in the side room, Mr. Ding can use some."

As a eunuch, Xiao Linzi is very discerning.

He has a clear idea of ​​who he can offend and who he cannot offend.

He knew that because of the railway construction, Ding Yi was now a popular figure in front of the emperor.

There were many people sitting in the side compartment, all waiting for Zhu Jianzhuo to receive them.

Ding Yi walked into the side compartment and found a seat to sit down. He did not talk to other people in the side compartment and just looked at the report in his hand.

He lowered his head and thought about something.

The report in his hand recorded in detail the construction process and construction plan of the north-south railway line.

He came to see Zhu Jianzhuo today to report on the progress of the railway construction.

……

In the Yangxin Hall, Zhu Jianzhuo took a sip from his tea cup and motioned to Li He, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou opposite him, to drink too.

Seeing this, Li He took a sip of tea, and then continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, the current situation in Yunnan and Guizhou is relatively stable. With the cooperation of those local chieftains, the imperial court has completely eliminated the remaining Qing forces in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces."

"But judging from the current situation, Yunnan and Guizhou are still facing extremely severe challenges."

"In recent years, due to the connivance of the imperial court's policies, the power of various chieftains has grown rapidly, and some chieftains have even begun to invade Han lands."

"Wei Chen believes that this matter must be guarded against!"

"The imperial court should make early plans for the situation in the southwest just in case." (End of Chapter)
