Win the Ding 1617

() Outside the west gate of Shenglong, a group of people looked nervously and excitedly at this city that had just changed its owner not long ago.

"Your Majesty, it is said that the South China Army attacked Shenglong City within a day and broke into it and captured all the members of the rebel clan of the Zheng family."

As Mo Deling, the envoy of the Mo family to communicate with the South China Army, he is naturally obliged to introduce our family's ally, Mo Jinggong, the eighth generation emperor of the Mo family, to his emperor, the commander-in-chief of the Annan Metropolis of the Ming Dynasty. Great martial arts.

Mo Jinggong, who was a little thin, looked up at the big bright sun and moon flag on the top of the city, and the huge Li character flag, as well as the soldiers patrolling the top of the city with knives, guns and guns, and nodded thoughtfully. , "Shanglong, we are back again. I don't know, will we stay here permanently this time!"

The Mo family has fought against the Li family and the Zheng family for decades, even this Shenglong City, even Mo Jinggong himself has entered and exited frequently, the people in the city have long been accustomed to changing the king's banner at the top of the city.If it weren't for Li Shouhan's intervention, Mo Jinggong of this era would have been captured and beheaded during the Zheng family's crusade against Gaoping in 1625.However, the Mo family's remnants and defeated generals would persist until the Mazi years before being wiped out by the Li family's court.

"Enter the city! Let's go see Master Li."

As the coach, Mo Jinggong ordered his subordinates in a calm tone, try to suppress the turbulent mood in his heart like the waves of the South China Sea as much as possible, so as not to let these courtiers find out.

However, at the gate of the city, they were blocked.

"Bastard! This is the car of the commander-in-chief of the Great Ming Annan, Mr. Mo Jinggong. How dare you not let him enter the city? Can you afford to delay the important military affairs with your general?!"

Mo Deling, who was leading the way, did not dare to say that this was the car of His Majesty the Emperor, so he could only use the signboard of the Commander-in-Chief of Annan of the Ming Dynasty to bluff people, trying to bluff the gatekeeper in front of him.

The sentry officer didn't bother to spend much time with this group of people, he just blew the copper whistle on his neck "beep" and waved the red and green command flags in his hands at the same time. They rushed forward like tigers, stood in line, held knives and raised guns, and entered a state of combat readiness.For the two cannons in the gun positions on the side, the gunners also lit the fire folders in their hands, ready to fire at any time.

"Let me say this one last time. You can go in with the master's order, but without the master's command arrow, let alone you are an envoy, even if the emperor's old man in Beijing city comes, you have to wait at the door!"

Even if Mo Jinggong was mentally prepared, he would definitely be humiliated by the Nanzhong Army when he came here this time, but due to the difference in strength between the two sides, he could only swallow his anger and make a confession After the gesture, let's see what kind of benefits we can get from the South China Army.

But he didn't want to be treated like this at the gate of the city!Can't even get through the city gate!

The guards and generals nearby had already started clamoring for doing good and evil.Those who tried to imitate Fan Kuai had to force their way in, those who wanted to be arrogant had to turn around and go back, and there were also those who blasphemed in the language of an unknown tribe.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Mo Deling reminded Mo Jinggong in a low voice, "For the sake of the tens of cities east of Tsinghua and west of Shenglong, and more than a million people, Your Majesty will bear with it for a while." Humiliation! Once the people of the land are in their hands, the ministers and others will assist His Majesty to endure hardships and work hard, and they will surely be able to overcome today's humiliation!"

"In Aiqing's opinion, are you waiting here?"

Mo Jinggong's voice was still as calm as water, without the slightest trace of emotion.

"this,......"

"My lord's military order is here!"

At the moment when the monarch and his ministers were hesitating outside the city gate, a fast horse came galloping from inside the city.The knight on the horse raised a command arrow high in his hand, yelling loudly in his mouth.

"Who is here?!"

The sentry officer on duty turned to ask the person who came.

"Come here!"

The knight on the horse turned the horse under his crotch into small steps while answering the sentry officer's question.

"Get off the horse! Check your badge!"

More than ten steps away, the rider reined in the reins, turned over and jumped off the horse, took out his waist plate and handed it to the soldiers on the side for inspection.

After checking that the waist badge was correct, the sentry officer's attitude towards the rider was different. "I don't know what advice the Shangguan has here?"

"Under the command of the lord!" The rider held up the big command in his hand, "Come here to meet Annan, and the commander and his party will enter the city!"

The sentry inspected the order carefully, and wrote down in the "Records of Days in the Array", at the time of day, month, day, and hour, someone held the arrow of the Lord's order, numbered so-and-so, and went to the city gate to greet Annan's commander-in-chief. into the city.

In Shenglong City, Shou Han sat high in the former Li family's palace, beside Li Peilin in a plain Taoist robe.

"My lord, do we really want to hand over dozens of towns from the west of Thang Long to Qinghua to the Mo family?"

Peilin pointed at a huge map with his bare feet, and Shouhan held a cup of hot cacao wine, savoring it carefully. He recently fell in love with this slightly sweet wine.

"This area can be said to be a fertile land in Annan. Although it has gone through decades of wars, once it stabilizes, the Mo family will recuperate here. However, it has been a land of fish and rice for more than ten years. Money and food are abundant. This is a big deal for the great cause of the lord. big threat."

After the Zheng family's forces were wiped out, there was only the Mo family on the ground in Annan, and this force had been abused by the Zheng family for a long time. Support, if the life of the Mo family is extended, it is estimated that the head of Mo Jinggong, the emperor of the Mo family, has long been turned into a urinal by the Zheng family.

"Except for the territory of Laos, all the lands in Taiyuan, west of Tsinghua, etc. that we conquered were handed over to the Mo family. The treasury registration book was sealed and handed over to the officials sent by the Mo family. During the period when the army is stationed, they must strictly implement the ten policies of the Japanese government, especially the ones about liberating slaves. After the handover, all the population that can be taken away will be taken away. What is left for the Mo family is not an empty city, but a city that is basically A city without labor productivity!"

Shou Han said as if nothing had happened, and after finishing speaking, he drank the sugar cane wine in his cup in one gulp.Savor the feeling of the slight sweetness sliding through the mouth and throat.

Pei Lin's eyes lit up as he listened. He bent down, picked up an abacus on the ground, searched for the population and acreage figures of the towns marked on the map, and started fiddling with the beads of the abacus.

This map is based on the survey results of the business office and the data in the household registration and tax inventory stored in the Li Dynasty court. Each town is marked with the special products (mainly minerals and wood types) ), population, acres of land, taxes and other basic information.This provides great convenience for Shou Han and others to make statistics.

The crackling abacus sounded for a while, and Shou Han could only hear Li Peilin let out a long and heavy breath. "My lord is wise! This move is enough to make the Mo family suffer so much that they can't tell, and we have to thank us for buying our production with real money!"

More than that!

Shou Han thought to himself.

He picked up a pen and drew a slanted line on the northern area of ​​Annan, including the Old Street, Hekou, Gaoping, and Tongdeng areas bordering Yunnan and Guangxi.Only Guang'an and Haining were left.

"Just give them this area! We only want this coal field!"

To destroy the Zheng family, for Shou Han, the gains and losses are huge.Lost, needless to say, a woman I like sacrificed herself in front of the fangs of the poisonous snake in order to save herself.What I got, the biggest harvest, is not Shenglong City, not the entire Red River Delta.

It's Guangning Coalfield!

Guangning Coalfield is located in the Guang'an and Haining areas on the northeastern coast of Annan, extending more than 100 kilometers from north to south. It is one of the largest coalfields in Southeast Asia.It provides energy and raw materials for Shouhan's industrial and agricultural production.According to the records of our era, there are about 10 coal seams with a thickness of 2-8 meters in the western part of the Guangning Coalfield, and the coal-bearing property in the eastern part is better. , Low-sulfur high-quality anthracite.There are 120 mines in total, with resources of more than 30 billion tons and proven reserves of 40 billion tons.

The most terrible thing is that this coal field can be mined in the open pit, and the output of open pit mining accounts for 70%!

Li Peilin, who is in charge of government affairs, is very clear about what the coal field means to Shou Han and to the South China Army, but he is still a little bit worried about Shou Han's swipe of a pen, and almost one-third of the Red River Delta was assigned to the Mo family. Unwilling.

"It doesn't matter!"

With a little bit of drunkenness on his face, Shou Han stretched out his hand to signal the guard beside him to add more wine, the guard hesitated for a moment, and asked Pei Lin for instructions with his eyes, Pei Lin nodded helplessly.

"The Mo family has always been loyal to Daming. Several generations have been officials in the court, and they have made some contributions to the Ming court. It's better to give it to them than to take advantage of those young people."

"Besides, the Mo family is now a hollow-hearted bigwig. Apart from a righteous name, they have no other capital to rule the roost. Whether it is soldiers, horses, money, food, or talents, they are all empty-handed. Put them in the north and separate them from the mainland. If we contact by land, we can devote ourselves to sorting out internal affairs, clearing up chieftains, reclaiming fields, smelting steel, and increasing fiscal and tax revenue. Ten years later, we will be able to hunt with heroes from all over the world!"

"My lord, do you want the Mo family to act as a wall to keep out the wind?" Pei Lin touched it just right.

"That's right! This straw bag is a wall to keep out the wind!" Shou Han couldn't help humming the famous aria.Li Peilin who was on the sidelines was a little puzzled, and the tune that the lord hummed had some charm, but what is this tune?Kunqu Opera is certainly not, what type of opera is that?

How could Peilin think that the tune that his lord was humming was actually a Beijing opera derived to celebrate the birthday of Hongli, the grandson of the Aixinjueluo family who had an inexplicable relationship with the Li family in Liaodong?

Two days later, Li Shouhan, the President of the Southern Central Army, received Mo Jinggong, the commander-in-chief of Annan.

Forehead!It seems a bit strange that Mo Jinggong, who kneels down and kowtows three times at the bottom of the steps, is a second-rank official in Ming Dynasty, while Li Shouhan's so-called President of the South China Army is a private position, his own official title It's just a hereditary guard title, Qianhu!

reason?

Nothing else, just look at the soldiers of the South China Army standing solemnly and neatly beside them. Two words, strength!

Li Muhua, who has already changed into a woman's attire, is also very pleased to see this scene. His father and grandfather have fought against the Mo family for decades, but they have not been able to completely wipe out the Mo family. Today, they can see the Mo family. It is also worth comforting the ancestors for the head of the family to kneel at the feet of his husband.

Mo Jinggong has already learned from Mo Deling, who went to Li Peilin to inquire about the truth, that the South Central Army intends to send the area west of Shenglong and east of Tsinghua to the Mo family. Standing upright to conquer Wending Wuling Emperor, he was a little overjoyed.

I know the affairs of my own family. With my own strength, it is difficult to pacify this vast area one by one. Although there are still many forces secretly supporting the Mo family, under the suppression and suppression of the Zheng family, these forces They are all dying.But what I didn't expect was that the senior officials of the South China Army actually wanted to give up these dozens of towns?What a big, thick, oily pie that fell from the sky!

However, what Mo Jinggong didn't expect was that what others throw at your head is not necessarily a pie, it may also be a shot put.Even if it is a pie, there may be poison in the pie.

But many people often only see the oily surface of the pie, and don't know the content of the meat filling.

Mo Jinggong lives up to his name, when he officially learned from Shou Hankou that the South Central Army will withdraw from the area east of Tsing Hua and west of Thang Long, a total of nearly one-third of the Red River Plain will belong to the Mo family .The General's Mansion of the Southern Central Army had ordered the former enemy generals to seal up the treasury, check the tax albums, and prepare to hand over to the yamen of the Annan Metropolitan Commander of the Ming Dynasty. Shou Han bowed twice and kowtowed six times.To express my gratitude to the soldiers of the South China Army.

"Yi belongs to colleagues, why should my lord be so generous?" Sitting on the dragon chair, the guard waited until Mo Jinggong finished kowtowing his head before stopping him, and ordered someone to help Mo Dutong up, and gave him a seat to watch tea.

At the moment, the host and the guest held cordial and friendly talks in a harmonious and warm atmosphere, and conducted consultations on issues of common concern, such as combating the remnants of the Zheng family and restoring law and order.Li Shouhan solemnly stated that the South Central Army will definitely act as a strong backing for the Annan Metropolitan Commander's Yamen, and strongly support Modu Commander-in-Chief's exercise of power within the jurisdiction.At the same time, all kinds of materials needed by the Dutong Yamen will be sold openly, so as to ensure that the Dutong Yamen can resume production and life in this area as soon as possible.

Metropolitan Envoy Mo Jinggong said that in the long-term sharp, cruel and complicated struggle, the General’s Mansion of the South China Army has always been a good brother, good friend, and good partner of the Annan Metropolitan Envoy’s yamen, and will even be a good neighbor in the future.The Annan Metropolitan Government Yamen will definitely consolidate and develop all aspects of relations with the South Central Army General’s Mansion in the long-term cooperation, and do everything possible to thank the South Central Army officers and people for their long-term help and support to the Annan Metropolitan Government Yamen. support!

The spoils sharing meeting between the two parties ended in such an atmosphere of hello, me, and everyone. The governor of the Mo family made the yamen get the city and the territory, and Li Shouhan got the coal field he wanted, and about half of the Red River. plain.

In addition to the coal fields, Shouhan has other harvests.

"Your Majesty! The ministers went to accept the various cities, but found something strange!"

An official of the Mo family court reported the situation to his master.

"All the cities were handed over to our army intact, and the treasures of the treasury were also handed over one by one, and the handover documents were signed. However, when I inspected the city, I found that almost all the slaves, craftsmen, and common people in the city They were taken away by the South China Army! In various villages, those farming people were also swept away by the South China Army! Only the powerful and rich households scattered everywhere have not been harassed, but, "

"But what?!" Mo Jinggong was a little dissatisfied with this courtier, isn't it because the Nanzhong Army kidnapped some poor people, haha?See what you're making a fuss about? !

"Those tyrants, most of them are the remnants of Zheng's best friends! Right now, they are secretly colluding with each other, plotting evil!"

This kind of situation came one after another in the next few days. The Mo family did not make complete statistics afterwards. After the South Central Army retreated to the east, the population of young and middle-aged people in its jurisdiction decreased by at least 20.From the city to the countryside, there is no human habitation for dozens of miles, which is not an exaggeration written by literati.

The first volume, Ji Qiu Chengzuze, came to an end here. On the basis of inheriting the foundation of the ancestors, the pig's feet carried it forward and became the capital for standing in troubled times.The second volume will open up a wider stage and space for Zhujiao, so stay tuned.
