Win the Ding 1617
Chapter 257
In October of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Li Shouhan, General of the Dragon and Tiger, bid farewell.It is cold in the north, and the southerners are impatient with the wind and snow, begging to return home.
On the fifth day of October, outside Chaoyangmen, the camp of the South China Army was crowded with crowns and guards of honor.
"Look! The ceremonial banners of the two governors!"
"The big sedan chairs of all the father-in-laws, Supervisor of Rites and Supervisor of Horses!"
"What is this?! Didn't you see the guard of honor standing at the gate of the camp that should have belonged to the prince?!"
Several Cao Gang members maintained order on the pier, and they were still talking about the majesty of the guard of honor of the officials who saw the Shou Han off.
At present, the relationship between the Cao Gang and the South China Army is good, and it is basically too fat to wear a pair of trousers.Needless to say, private salt sales from south to north, all kinds of southern goods were sold in the canal basin through tank boats.On the contrary, transporting grain grains has become a sideline of the water boats, and everyone from the Caojiang Yamen to the ordinary Cao Gang gangs are all clear-eyed.But, who would be in trouble with silver and copper coins?Especially the Nanzhong silver dollar and Tongbao with excellent fineness?
Shouhan has already informed the Cao Gang through Long Shengxing's channels. In the future, the Haihe river project will be indispensable to the Cao Gang. Even if it is Nan Cao Shipping, it will be transferred to Tianjin, and the section from Nigu to Chaoyangmen will also be handed over to Cao Gang. Help the brothers.
In order to show their sincerity, several shopkeepers of Long Shengxing also led the masters of the Cao Gang to pay a visit to the residence of Eunuch Liu, the eunuch who is in charge of Nancao affairs.After presenting the rice ticket from the grain and rice store under Longshenghang and the jewelry repair certificate from the jewelry store, Eunuch Liu patted his chest and said, "The Hehai family, our family has also been told by our ancestors! Nancao is related to the use of the emperor. Naturally, it has to be handed over to the appropriate person! Except for the experienced hands of the Cao Gang, who else is feasible and reliable on the ground in Gyeonggi?"
Now that the rice class is mainly going, the brothers of the Cao Gang naturally have to do their part.
"Hong Jiulao, Lu Jiulao, and Brother Baigu, this camp of a certain family will be given to the two dear friends. The equipment and tents in the camp are things that Xuan Dajun and the brothers on the three sides like, so just take them. Just go."
In the camp, Shou Han drew a circle with his hands passionately towards Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting who came to see them off, pointing to the fixed assets in the camp.
"There are so many things. Just throw them away when you say they are thrown away?" Sun Chuanting was a little bit unconvinced.Did your ears hear you wrong again?
"Alas! There is no other way. Thousands of people will follow me back to Nanzhong. There is really no space on the ship to carry these things. Fortunately, the capital is only a few hundred miles away from Tianjin, so I passed it with patience."
Looking at the piles of grain and meat in the supply camp.There is also a cooking truck that can cook hot meals for hundreds of people in an hour.[-]% to [-]% new tents.The generals from all the towns who came to see them off had already made up their minds, as soon as the Nanzhong Army left, they would immediately dispatch their own soldiers to carry them!
"Two governors. Sun Futai, when the lower officials bid farewell to the emperor, they also mentioned the riots caused by the inland bandits. In my opinion, sharing the encouragement with the three of you can be regarded as attracting jade."
"Willing to listen to high opinion."
"Right now, rogue bandits are everywhere, and the officers and soldiers are suppressing everywhere. It's just to stop the boiling. A little slack, and the civil chaos will immediately boil again."
"Stop boiling soup?"
The three of them are well-learned people, and after a little chewing on Shou Han's wording, they feel quite vivid.This pot of soup is indeed extremely boiling, and I am exhausted everywhere, isn't it just to scoop out the soup in the pot? !
"The next official is bold, it is better to draw the bottom of the pot than to stop the boiling water!"
"What is a salary? Where is the salary drawn?"
"Hungry people from all sides will be paid for!" Shou Han said every word, fearing that everyone in the tent would not understand.
"At the moment, we are guarding the kindness of the emperor of Han and Mongolia, the governor of the Nanzhong Army, horses, money and food, and the prime minister's suppression of Guangdong and Guangxi. Nanzhong is a fertile land with thousands of miles of land, and there are countless large and small islands. It is possible to transport the hungry people from the inland to our place, and then emigrate. Seriously, secondly, after food and clothing, who is willing to wander around? I don’t know when and where life will end?"
Everyone was speechless for a while.
This method is indeed quite appropriate.However, the conditions are not met right now!
Not to mention the tens of thousands of refugees, there are hundreds of thousands at every turn.Not to mention how to get them to go to Nanzhong for reclamation, and to control the many refugees and prevent them from looting and harassing counties along the way is already a big project.
What's more, a lot of rations are needed.
If it was transported to Nanzhong by sea, how would the refugees from the Northwest and Central Plains reach the seaside?Where is the port of departure?All problems!
Wang Bao at the side handed the list of supplies that he did not intend to take away to Shou Han, "Master, these are the supplies to be handed over, please check them."
"Three, these are the three of you who were sent by the Shou Han. I hope that we will have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future. However, for the sake of the great Ming Dynasty, I would rather never have that day!"
"Five thousand shi of grain, [-] tents, [-] carts, and other scattered supplies and equipment."
The three of Hong Chengchou weighed the list, but they didn't know what to say.
"Generals, let's go now! See you later!"
"General Huang, have a good trip!"
Huang Yishan, the battalion officer of the cavalry battalion, escaped from the encirclement of the general soldiers and bid farewell.
"Generals, remember what Yishan said!"
"Of course you have to remember! In the future, there will be good people who are coerced, and when you are at the beach again, I will give them to you, and ask you to exchange armor, knives, guns and firearms!"
He Renlong shook his head and roared unscrupulously.
"Everyone! Let's go!"
Shou Han took his soldiers and cavalry away with his whip.
"The governor! The governor!"
Chen An, Lu Xiangsheng's relative, whispered in the ear of Lu Xiangsheng who was looking at the smoke and dust in the distance.
"Master Hong and Master Sun are waiting for you in the tent, discussing how to distribute the food and grass army tent. In addition, when Master Li left, his guards handed me a letter, please read it."
In the letter, Shouhan sent [-] Dafolang machines and supporting ammunition to Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiang, ten each, and asked them to send competent personnel to Tianjin to receive them.
"Oh! General Lee!"
"Your Excellency, please hurry up and enter the account for discussion! I am afraid that the two adults will not be able to suppress the generals of the towns if it is too late!"
An hour later, the camp of the South China Army was full of voices.The horses and chariots kept shouting and cursing.
Three hours later, the originally neat and majestic camp became as clean as Yasai had washed it with water.
Two days later, Nigu Wharf.
"My lord, why did you return to Nanzhong in such a hurry? Is it really because of the cold in the north?"
After arranging troops and accompanying refugees to board the ship bravely, Wang Bao quietly came to Shou Han's side.
"How many troops are left in the capital?"
"Reporting to my lord, 500 people. Two hundred firecrackers, 150 swords and shields, and [-] long spears each. There is no cavalry. There are also a thousand volunteers, all of whom are dispatched by Long Sheng, and they are regarded as their company's bodyguards."
"You don't want to go with the brigade for a while. I'll give you a fast boat without refugees. Just fill the sails and go south quickly! After Hue, go and do these things for me!"
"My lord, why is this?"
Sitting in the cabin, Shou Han took out several secret notes from a protective book, "Look!"
The secret music was sent by the office by fast boat.Shou Han led the army north to Qin Wang for several months.There are quite a few people in various places in Nanzhong who are ready to move.At first, they just fabricated some rumors in secret, such as "Li Shouhan's ship sank on the road! The general's mansion is still secret, and the generals are fighting!", "Li Shouhan was thrown into prison by the emperor in Beijing. He wants to bind the Meridian Gate Behead!"
With the spread of rumors, the Kapitans and Sultans in Manlaja and other places also began to have some ideas. The Kapitans deliberately delayed the tax receivables in their hands. In the past, the taxes that were not allowed to stay overnight were delayed by three It took two days to get to customs.
And those sultans, shaking their fat bellies, went to Manchuria to demand a share of the tariffs!
One mouthful asked for [-]% of the bill, and it was [-]%. The sultans would get [-]% of the bill while lying in the palace and watching the beauties dance belly dances.The reason is simple, "This is the land given to us by Mu Sheng and our ancestors. You are allowed to take [-]% because you have worked hard to collect taxes and give you hard-earned money!"
These can be regarded as the vassal kings under his rule who are unsatisfactory, and there are threats from friendly troops!
Zheng Zhilong, who was in Xiamen and Kinmen, sent people to Hue many times to claim Taiwan's land reclamation income, and even demanded a three-year payment of grain. "It doesn't matter if you don't have a boat! We'll get it ourselves!"
The words inside and outside the words are quite meaningful.
In addition to food requirements, the Zheng family even proposed to increase the share and frequency of trade with the Dutch and Japan.
If you have money, you should earn it together!
On the coast of Fujian, the ships of the Nanzhong Army passing through here were harassed by unknown armed ships. Although there was no loss of personnel for the time being, it was still very troublesome.
"You go to Kinmen to meet Zheng Zhilong immediately, and tell him that my fleet will pass by soon, and ask him to prepare water and vegetables for 3 people, and I will give him money at the price."
"3 people?! The subordinates understand!"
"Afterwards, you go back to Hue, summon the chief officials of all ministries and governments to Hue, and make me the general of Longwu by the emperor, the governor of Nanzhong, the prime minister of Guangdong and Guangxi for suppressing bandits, rewarding the prince with a guard of honor, and Yin's son as a thousand households of Jinyiwei. , to show off.”
Speaking of this, Shou Han completely lost the appearance of a modest gentleman spreading wealth in the capital, and a hideous expression appeared on his face, "If those guys are not honest, I will find them a place to go and let them live forever." Be honest!"
"Then order the left wing fleet to move eastward and wait for our fleet to transit near He'anping City in Taiwan!"
"The garrisons of all the prefectures and towns are launching campaigns against the native tribes who do not obey the king and do not obey the rules in the mountains and forests. The strong men and self-defense forces in the villages and towns are going together! Be sure to plow the courtyard and sweep the holes. Save future troubles! Capture a lot of captives and send them to various forests, mines and workshops to serve as official slaves! I have received so many orders this time, and some of them are doing work for them!"
Shou Han was somewhat proud of shaking the contracts signed with Governor Xuanda, the Governors of Trilateral, Ji Town, Yutian Town, etc., and the accounts of the deposits received. The [-]% deposit received alone has already made Shou Han earn money A lot, plus the unpaid [-]% of the payment, it is an astronomical figure.
"We will build more than three blast furnaces when we go back. I'm afraid there will be more orders in the future!"
"My lord, won't you?!" Wang Bao didn't know enough about the darkness of the human heart, and he didn't know the greed and darkness of the officialdom and the human heart.
Shou Han didn't point it out, just laughed wildly in his heart, a mere Datong Town needs so many armors and weapons, even if Wang Pu's main barracks are all equipped and devil terminators generally can't use so many!For the extra ones, Wang Pu will not go to help others expand their strength.Then there is only one place to go, and that is the clan who sold it to him, the Wang family, one of the eight Shanxi merchants!
Afterwards, the Wang family resold these high-quality armor, knives and guns to the Liaodong rebels!
"However, the guys from Long Shengxing told me that people with foreign accents have been inquiring about all kinds of weapons in their cell recently."
After performing martial arts that day, Longsheng's few shops outside Chaoyang Gate were overcrowded, people who came in and out had messy accents, and one could tell from their demeanor that they were definitely not kind people.If it weren't for everyone knowing that this shop was bought and sold by General Li of the South Central Army, the plaque was inscribed by Lord Hong, the governor of the three sides, and there were dozens of Cao Gang members standing there to cheer at the door.I'm afraid I've been robbed many times already.
"There are people from Liaodong Army Town. Some have Shaanxi accents, some have Shanxi accents. There are also a few big businessmen approaching Long Shengxing, intending to buy large quantities of military weapons and sell them to various places on the Nine Sides. But according to the Lord's wishes. The stewards all said It is related to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Please bring out the customs documents of the generals in each town. It proves that these military equipment are sold to the Nine Frontier Army Town." Speaking of this, Wang Bao suddenly discovered that since he followed the guards Since entering Beijing.It seems that Lin Wenbing, the shopkeeper of Longshengxing, was not seen. There were only a few managers in the store who were there to manage the daily business.Where did shopkeeper Lin go?Wang Bao didn't dare to think too much.
On Shou Han's desk was another document about arms sales, which was also sent by a fast boat from the office.
"Hey! Their appetites are not small! Want so much?! There are so many varieties!"
The order was sent by the Shimadzu family. The Shimadzu family and several affiliates jointly delivered a huge arms order contract.
"One hundred thousand stones of food, three thousand pairs of armor, but small ones are required. Five thousand boxes of canned pork, two thousand boxes of chicken and two thousand ducks each, five thousand knives, three thousand firecrackers, and twenty rounds. Ziyao. Spears cost [-] pieces, Dafolang machine [-] pieces, accessory guns [-] pieces, cannons [-] pieces, and high-quality dyed cotton cloth [-] bolts."
"My lord, these Japanese people have such a big appetite! I just want to ask, do these dwarfs have so much money?"
This is one of the reasons why the office did not dare to make decisions, worrying about the Shimadzu family's ability to pay.
Secondly, the office is also very clear about the situation on the Dongying Islands. After the strength of the various foreign daimyos has been expanded, they have some ideas about the Tokugawa family's holding the position of the general of the barbarians. I am afraid that these weapons will be sold to The Shimadzu family will cause turmoil in Japan, which in turn will affect the interests of the Nanzhong Army.
Shou Han picked up a pen to approve a few lines on the document sent by the office.
"Don't be afraid of Japan's chaos. The Shimadzu family in Southern Kyushu bought it. Are Kitakyushu and Honshu willing to live under the guns of the Shimadzu family? Only more people will buy our things! After this contract is executed , through various means to make the famous names and generals in the country known as a whole."
The official affairs are explained one by one like this.
As the first to set off, Wang Bao carefully put away the thick stack of documents.Instead, he raised his head and asked Shou Han.
"My lord, what if these dwarves have no money to pay?!"
"Ah Bao! Take a closer look at the back of that document. These dwarves have no money! At most, they can pay [-]% in gold, silver and copper coins!"
On the back of the Shimadzu family’s document for the purchase of arms, it is indicated that Xiabang is a small country and the people are poor, and it is difficult to raise such a large amount of gold and silver at the moment. They are willing to use young and strong women of the right age in the country to work in Shangbang (and provide warm quilt services) ), and domestic products to offset the price of goods.
"These dwarves! You are really shameless!" Wang Bao's face was slightly hot, but he didn't see this.
"Okay, Bao! There are still fewer Fusang concubines and Tianzhu orchids in your mansion? If this group of people hadn't transported these women to Nanzhong, our men's yang will flourish and yin will decline. The brothers have no women, and I'm afraid they will go out. Big mess!"
"Go back and tell the office that they can use their labor and young women to pay the bill. In addition, the products are currently limited to sulfur, purple roots, wood, various dried seafood, copper, bluegrass, lead, zinc, etc. As for their screens, Folding fans, lacquer ware, etc., cannot be used as the main products!"
Sulfur from Kyushu has always been an important source of raw materials for Nanzhong's arms production. As for those lead and zinc, in addition to lead can be used to make projectiles, zinc has also served as an important consumable for the navy.
After the brass wraps the bottom, in order to prevent the loss of the copper bottom, it is necessary to use the "sacrificing anode cathodic protection method" to place zinc blocks at the waterline of the ship, so that the seawater will only corrode the zinc blocks and not the copper bottom.But in this way, the demand for zinc is not so large.
This is also one of the things that everyone in the navy of the South China Army knows but doesn't know why.Every time they go to sea, the sailors tie the zinc blocks with ropes and sink them into the waterline, but no one can tell why.
Looking out from the cabin, teams of soldiers on the pier are organizing refugees and volunteers who are also made up of battalions, sentries, and teams to board the ship. With the help of pulleys, the soldiers of the artillery team lifted the cannons to the On board, they are disassembled and put into boxes in the hold to serve as ballast.The soldiers of the cavalry acted as loyal sentries in the distance, and from time to time they took out a handful of fried soybeans mixed with light salt water from their pockets to feed the silent comrades.
Although several batches of ships have transported refugees and horses to the south, the pressure on transport capacity is still high.It was to free up the limited transportation capacity and more space that Shou Han had to hand over those food tents and other materials to Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others.
"I hope it can be transported away once!"
Looking at the white smoke rising from the cannon fired by Wang Bao's fast boat, Shou Han knew that this trip to the north was over.
Looking to the north, there are dense clouds, and the cold current from Siberia will soon wreak havoc on the black land.
"I don't know if Lin Wenbing and Li Peiting have arrived. I hope they can return smoothly and safely!" (To be continued...)
On the fifth day of October, outside Chaoyangmen, the camp of the South China Army was crowded with crowns and guards of honor.
"Look! The ceremonial banners of the two governors!"
"The big sedan chairs of all the father-in-laws, Supervisor of Rites and Supervisor of Horses!"
"What is this?! Didn't you see the guard of honor standing at the gate of the camp that should have belonged to the prince?!"
Several Cao Gang members maintained order on the pier, and they were still talking about the majesty of the guard of honor of the officials who saw the Shou Han off.

"Five thousand shi of grain, [-] tents, [-] carts, and other scattered supplies and equipment."
The three of Hong Chengchou weighed the list, but they didn't know what to say.
"Generals, let's go now! See you later!"
"General Huang, have a good trip!"
Huang Yishan, the battalion officer of the cavalry battalion, escaped from the encirclement of the general soldiers and bid farewell.
"Generals, remember what Yishan said!"
"Of course you have to remember! In the future, there will be good people who are coerced, and when you are at the beach again, I will give them to you, and ask you to exchange armor, knives, guns and firearms!"
He Renlong shook his head and roared unscrupulously.

Zheng Zhilong, who was in Xiamen and Kinmen, sent people to Hue many times to claim Taiwan's land reclamation income, and even demanded a three-year payment of grain. "It doesn't matter if you don't have a boat! We'll get it ourselves!"

"3 people?! The subordinates understand!"

Speaking of this, Shou Han completely lost the appearance of a modest gentleman spreading wealth in the capital, and a hideous expression appeared on his face, "If those guys are not honest, I will find them a place to go and let them live forever." Be honest!"

"There are people from Liaodong Army Town. Some have Shaanxi accents, some have Shanxi accents. There are also a few big businessmen approaching Long Shengxing, intending to buy large quantities of military weapons and sell them to various places on the Nine Sides. But according to the Lord's wishes. The stewards all said It is related to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Please bring out the customs documents of the generals in each town. It proves that these military equipment are sold to the Nine Frontier Army Town." Speaking of this, Wang Bao suddenly discovered that since he followed the guards Since entering Beijing.It seems that Lin Wenbing, the shopkeeper of Longshengxing, was not seen. There were only a few managers in the store who were there to manage the daily business.Where did shopkeeper Lin go?Wang Bao didn't dare to think too much.
On Shou Han's desk was another document about arms sales, which was also sent by a fast boat from the office.
"Hey! Their appetites are not small! Want so much?! There are so many varieties!"
The order was sent by the Shimadzu family. The Shimadzu family and several affiliates jointly delivered a huge arms order contract.
"One hundred thousand stones of food, three thousand pairs of armor, but small ones are required. Five thousand boxes of canned pork, two thousand boxes of chicken and two thousand ducks each, five thousand knives, three thousand firecrackers, and twenty rounds. Ziyao. Spears cost [-] pieces, Dafolang machine [-] pieces, accessory guns [-] pieces, cannons [-] pieces, and high-quality dyed cotton cloth [-] bolts."
"My lord, these Japanese people have such a big appetite! I just want to ask, do these dwarfs have so much money?"
This is one of the reasons why the office did not dare to make decisions, worrying about the Shimadzu family's ability to pay.
Secondly, the office is also very clear about the situation on the Dongying Islands. After the strength of the various foreign daimyos has been expanded, they have some ideas about the Tokugawa family's holding the position of the general of the barbarians. I am afraid that these weapons will be sold to The Shimadzu family will cause turmoil in Japan, which in turn will affect the interests of the Nanzhong Army.
Shou Han picked up a pen to approve a few lines on the document sent by the office.
"Don't be afraid of Japan's chaos. The Shimadzu family in Southern Kyushu bought it. Are Kitakyushu and Honshu willing to live under the guns of the Shimadzu family? Only more people will buy our things! After this contract is executed , through various means to make the famous names and generals in the country known as a whole."
The official affairs are explained one by one like this.
As the first to set off, Wang Bao carefully put away the thick stack of documents.Instead, he raised his head and asked Shou Han.
"My lord, what if these dwarves have no money to pay?!"
"Ah Bao! Take a closer look at the back of that document. These dwarves have no money! At most, they can pay [-]% in gold, silver and copper coins!"
On the back of the Shimadzu family’s document for the purchase of arms, it is indicated that Xiabang is a small country and the people are poor, and it is difficult to raise such a large amount of gold and silver at the moment. They are willing to use young and strong women of the right age in the country to work in Shangbang (and provide warm quilt services) ), and domestic products to offset the price of goods.
"These dwarves! You are really shameless!" Wang Bao's face was slightly hot, but he didn't see this.
"Okay, Bao! There are still fewer Fusang concubines and Tianzhu orchids in your mansion? If this group of people hadn't transported these women to Nanzhong, our men's yang will flourish and yin will decline. The brothers have no women, and I'm afraid they will go out. Big mess!"
"Go back and tell the office that they can use their labor and young women to pay the bill. In addition, the products are currently limited to sulfur, purple roots, wood, various dried seafood, copper, bluegrass, lead, zinc, etc. As for their screens, Folding fans, lacquer ware, etc., cannot be used as the main products!"
Sulfur from Kyushu has always been an important source of raw materials for Nanzhong's arms production. As for those lead and zinc, in addition to lead can be used to make projectiles, zinc has also served as an important consumable for the navy.
After the brass wraps the bottom, in order to prevent the loss of the copper bottom, it is necessary to use the "sacrificing anode cathodic protection method" to place zinc blocks at the waterline of the ship, so that the seawater will only corrode the zinc blocks and not the copper bottom.But in this way, the demand for zinc is not so large.
This is also one of the things that everyone in the navy of the South China Army knows but doesn't know why.Every time they go to sea, the sailors tie the zinc blocks with ropes and sink them into the waterline, but no one can tell why.
Looking out from the cabin, teams of soldiers on the pier are organizing refugees and volunteers who are also made up of battalions, sentries, and teams to board the ship. With the help of pulleys, the soldiers of the artillery team lifted the cannons to the On board, they are disassembled and put into boxes in the hold to serve as ballast.The soldiers of the cavalry acted as loyal sentries in the distance, and from time to time they took out a handful of fried soybeans mixed with light salt water from their pockets to feed the silent comrades.
Although several batches of ships have transported refugees and horses to the south, the pressure on transport capacity is still high.It was to free up the limited transportation capacity and more space that Shou Han had to hand over those food tents and other materials to Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others.
"I hope it can be transported away once!"
Looking at the white smoke rising from the cannon fired by Wang Bao's fast boat, Shou Han knew that this trip to the north was over.
Looking to the north, there are dense clouds, and the cold current from Siberia will soon wreak havoc on the black land.
"I don't know if Lin Wenbing and Li Peiting have arrived. I hope they can return smoothly and safely!" (To be continued...)
