Win the Ding 1617

That night, when the other seven generals were full of envy and hatred, Hong Chengchou and the Liaoxi Generals Group represented by Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui, a dragon crossing the river and two local snakes, led the Wu Biao Model Brigade. A strong army launched a battle that could not see the smoke of gunpowder. <乐><reading> fiction.２3x.com

Both sides wanted to win the thousands of people under Wu Biao's command into their own camp during the Songjin War!

Just kidding, to be able to gain the upper hand in the battle against the Manchurian soldiers of the four banners of Jiannu and the firearms troops of the Han army banner, and to win a lot, such a troop would be a fool not to win over it!

Zu Dashou began to use a trick that has been tried and tested for many years. As an uncle, he asked Wu Sangui to get along with General Wu Biao and become brothers!Then, in the tone of an elder, he asked Wu Biao with great concern, as a Lingnan native, is he used to fighting in Liaodong?Is there someone to take care of the daily diet and daily life?How is the situation of the troops?

When Wu Biao politely explained to him that he had personal soldiers to take care of him, Zu Dashou was very surprised and said, how can he take care of the killing men?If the general doesn't mind, there are quite a few fair-looking women in my ancestral family who can be used by the general for daily cleaning.

It is obvious that after the matchmaking marriage, hundreds of family members will be allocated to supplement the vacancies in Wu Biao's department!

Facing such blatant poaching behavior, if Governor Hong didn't fight back, he wouldn't be Governor Ji Liao anymore!

Immediately stated that General Wu is a Shenji Battalion, and his troops are under the control of the supervisor.Naturally, the battle damage of his troops should be supplemented by the supervisor, and he immediately ordered the deputy general of the supervisor to select 1000 elite soldiers to supplement the model brigade.

However, after some disputes.Inevitably, the three families have to add sand to the model brigade.Not to mention anything else, send your own people in this army.When you learn one and a half moves from their daily life training and combat, you can recover the cost!

present.Zu Dashou made the decision, and the ancestral family in western Liaoning allocated a thousand strong men to the Model Brigade. They originally planned to send servants, but Wu Biao resigned. The reason is also high-sounding. That's right, just choose some strong ones.

And Wu Sangui also allocated 1000 people from his newly trained cavalry team to Wu Biao.The purpose is to learn from him how cavalry can practice the tactics of advancing like a wall!

"General Wu, when Jiannu retreats a little bit, your troops will be stationed in Songshan Fort. Firstly, to protect the flanks of Jinzhou, together with General Xiao Wu, to protect the grain roads, and secondly, to replenish the army as soon as possible."

Then, Governor Hong and Master Zu started a discussion on how to proceed with the next strategy.

At present, the Ming army has already formed a consensus not to aim at Jinzhou's siege, let alone.Strictly speaking, it is not a rescue right now. Jiannu's brigade is still stationed in the east and north of Jinzhou, and can make a comeback at any time.Although the opinions are generally consistent, there are many internal differences.

A faction headed by Wu Biao and Wu Sangui.It is advocated that when the main force of slavery confronts itself, do not send an army to attack Shenyang, the lair of slavery, and force them to return to aid.Then it reached the situation of attacking the slaves in front and back of the Liaoxi Corridor area.Even if Liaodong cannot be determined in one battle, the slave force will be re-established.

And take Marco.Tang Tong, Li Fuming, Zuo Guangxian, Liu Zhaoji, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu and other seven generals advocated the moderate faction.On the other hand, it is advocated to continue to work step by step, and first defeat the thief in front of you!

The wooing, disputes, and disagreements of the Jinzhou General Military Mansion were quietly collected and sorted out, and sent out of Jinzhou.

The difference is that all the way to the north, it was handed over to Huang Taiji.

On the other hand, it went straight to Ningyuan, handed it over to the Longshengxing company there, and then sent it directly to Tianjin by clipper, and then sent it to South China by sea.

About ten days later, Li Shouhan, who was far away in Hue, could see this urgent military report from Tianjin.

Along with this Jinzhou Military Report, there is also a report from the Wu Biao Model Brigade on the Minnie bomb.

The first actual combat of this new type of projectile, called Wotou bullet by the Southern Guangdong Army, was on the battlefield of Rufeng Mountain.

Although the smoothbore gun equipped with steamed bun bullets is not as invincible as Shou Hanxin's current rifled gun equipped with Minie bullets, but the rate of fire, accuracy, and range are comprehensively evaluated, but it is much better than the previous bullets.

"Gentlemen from Ha Tinh Military Industry, please take a good look at this report and see if you can dig further in the direction of projectile material ratio."

Shou Han wrote his reply on a piece of red-headed letterhead attached to the report.

"Also: Long Shengxing will allocate another [-] pellets of this type of projectile to sell to the model brigade. Only the cost price will be charged, but all data must be collected. It will lay the foundation for our army's large-scale equipment in the next step!"

After completing the batch of more than a dozen documents sent in bamboo baskets from the office on the table, Shou Han was very pleased to place the last report on the South Guangdong Army's autumn confrontational training, referred to as Qiu Cao. Bamboo basket.

"Master, Second Young Master and Mr. Xu are waiting outside."

Called in by Shou Han shaking the copper bell, the on-duty officer put away the letter of approval and reminded Shou Han in a low voice that his second son Li Huabao and Xu Hongzu, Li Huabao's husband, were waiting outside for an interview.

Originally, his footsteps only reached Lijiang, Yunnan Province in history. Xu Hongzu, who had contracted beriberi (?) and was ordered by the Mu family to send him back to his hometown of Jiangyin in Nanzhili after being lamented by the magnificence of the Mu family’s mansion, died of illness. For an errand, it should be said that in the system of the Southern Guangdong Army, he can be regarded as a fish in water if he is successful and famous.

"Mr. Xu, I read those manuscripts and diaries of yours carefully after Xiaoer Huabao sent them. They are truly amazing. They were sent to typesetting and printing yesterday, so why not call them "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes"? All government offices, schools, military camps, workshops, and firms must have at least one copy of "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" to let people know that this world is not just a narrow area of ​​their lives."

When Xu Hongzu, who looked good and had a dark complexion, took his seat, Shou Han immediately said the words that made him very excited.

No scholar can resist the temptation of writing books.When this kind of person is alive, he can see his work being published and distributed, and it is sent to every scholar and school.Such a temptation, even Xu Hongzu, who traveled the world and devoted himself to mountains and rivers because he hated imperial examinations, could not escape it.

present.Xu Hongzu's black face turned purple, the reason is very simple.She blushed with excitement.

However, Shou Han then threw out another thing.He was so excited that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.

"I received a consultation report from the left-behind yamen in Nanjing before February. Since April, there has been a severe drought in the Wujiang area, and locusts have covered the sky. The price of rice is four taels of silver per stone. Beggars are full of roads, and many people die in bed. The people use bad Grain rot is a delicacy, or elm bark. There are factories everywhere to serve porridge, and tens of thousands of people eat it every day. I think about it. You are from Jiangyin, so I ordered Yousi to dispatch to Jiangyin in your name. There are tens of thousands of japonica rice, please send people from the Nanjing Garrison to Jiangyin to assist, distribute according to household registration, and sell it for five qian per household. You, the young man of Jiangyin, are doing something for the hometown.”

When I was alive, I saw that my works were published, and my name was remembered by the people in my hometown, which benefited my hometown. This is the life of a person like Xu Hongzu, but it can only be his life.But.This, leduo will be fully realized within a day.

"Some time ago someone came back from Nanjing and said that people from your hometown are going to raise funds to build a memorial archway and erect a monument for you."

After all, Xu Hongzu still has the stubbornness of a scholar, after hearing this.Immediately got up, and knelt down in front of the guard, "My lord treats me like a national scholar! Xu is not talented. I dare not say that I will repay him with a national soldier, but I will definitely smash my body to pieces to repay the lord's kindness!"

"Brother Zhen, why did you say that! It's so ridiculous! You helped Xiaoer Huabao build roads in Guangxi. Climbing cliffs and wading through deep streams. Searching for design routes in local offerings and pictures, mining rocks and minerals, paying attention to geography, Geology, writing a diary experience by the campfire. Of all these, which one does not have great merit for the people of southern Guangdong?"

Xu Hongzu has played the role of a leading party during the past few years when Li Huabao was stationed in Guangxi for road construction. He combined his hobbies and expertise with this work and provided great help for Li Huabao's road construction work. .

Among other things, his diary manuscripts and simple maps alone saved Li Huabao a lot of worry.Moreover, Xu Hongzu, who had traveled all over Guangxi in those years, was familiar with Guangxi's geography, mountains, rivers, roads, towns, far beyond Li Huabao's imagination.

"On that day, my son, Hua Bao, wrote a letter to me, praising my husband's ability. I proposed to ask him to be my teacher. After reading it, I just replied three words, which is very good!"

Shou Han's words are not hypocritical politeness.

Xu Hongzu has been in the Southern Guangdong Army for the past few years, and he has already seen it clearly.The so-called "study and excellence will lead to an official" has gradually lost its market in southern China, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian.Here, as long as you have a skill and have unique insights and attainments in a certain field, then you can use this skill to change the social and economic status of yourself and your family!

Even if you are just a so-called hard-working cook, but if you cook well and can satisfy hundreds of people at the same time, then you can choose the one with the best conditions among many bosses, and even drive yourself canteen.

In contrast, those moths with brilliant heads and poor scriptures, who spend all day holding Zhu Zi’s collections, can only set up a pitiful booth at the door of each letter bureau to write family letters for those Japanese and native laborers, earning a lot of money. Take some pennies to support the family.

As the earliest donkey friend and geographer, Xu Hongzu was the most scarce figure in the Southern Guangdong Army.There is also a reason for Shou Han's treatment.

So, when he learned that his son's staff was actually hiding such a great man, Shou Han was of course dancing with excitement.Especially seeing that his son's letter meant that he wanted to learn from Xu Hongzu's disciples, of course Shou Han couldn't refuse his son's desire to study and make progress.

With Li Huabao as a disciple, Xu Hongzu's public travel, no, the field exploration business naturally progressed more smoothly, and he no longer had to worry about running out of accommodation in the field, or pawning cotton clothes due to lack of travel expenses.

"Second Young Master and I also hit it off at first sight, and we hit each other quite well. I don't like reading imperial examinations, but I like to put my love on mountains and rivers, but I can't make any beautiful chapters of poetry and songs, and I can only write what I have seen and heard. Write it down for yourself to read in the future, I don’t want to be recognized by the second son’s eyes, and I recommend it to the lord.”

"Hey! Poems, songs and poems are nothing more than a small word game! What is the benefit? Mr. has written a big character for the national economy and the people's livelihood with a pen as large as a rafter, and using the earth, mountains and rivers as paper!"

Thousands of wears.Flattery does not wear.

In the eyes of others, he is just a libertine who likes to travel around.But in the eyes of the lord, he is an unborn talent.This huge gap made Xu Hongzu feel as if he was on a cloud, and he couldn't help but feel a little buoyant.

However, after regaining his composure, Xu Hongzu immediately warned himself that as a superior, the lord was determined not to be the parent of a student to play tricks on him.The so-called courteous people must ask for something.Instead of waiting for the lord to bring it up, it is better to speak up and take the initiative.

And besides the diary manuscripts in the box, there seems to be nothing that can be discerned by the lord.

Gritting his teeth, Xu Hongzu opened the prayer box.Take out the thick stack of manuscripts inside.

"My lord, with the help of the second prince, in the past six months, several roads in Guangxi have been basically completed, and the students have taken a break from their busy schedule to go to Tianzhu and other places. I visited the relics of Master Xuanzang and Wang Xuance, and here is a travelogue to Northern Tianzhu. Please be correct, my lord!"

Xu Hongzu's trip to North Tianzhu was fully funded by Li Huabao, not to mention sending people and boats.He even wrote letters to the garrison along the way and the businessmen of Longsheng in North Tianzhu, asking them to help and take care of this gentleman.All it took was Li Huabao to bow to them face to face.

With the second son's letter by his side, Xu Hongzu's trip to North Tianzhu was naturally very smooth.

The so-called North Tianzhu.It is roughly where the present-day Uttar Pradesh in India is located.

Uttar Pradesh at this time was the core part of the Mughal Empire.

The sultans built majestic tombs, impregnable castles and magnificent mosques all over Uttar Pradesh.

Sikri Fort built by Emperor Akbar, Agra Fort, Akbar Mausoleum in Sikandra, Itimad-ud-Dawla Tomb in Agra, Akbar Fort in Allahabad, Aurangzeb built mosques in Mathura, Varanasi and Lucknow.

Countless castles, palaces, mosques, mausoleums, baths and ponds.What is described in Xu Hongzu's pen makes people feel as if they are in front of their eyes.The bold, elegant and majestic Mughal architectural style was keenly captured by him, and the strong personal style of its rulers in different periods was also reflected by the architects.The architecture during Akbar's reign was characterized by majesty and tallness, while during the reign of Shah Jahan, it was famous for its lyrical style.

The fish-shaped decorations on the doors of those buildings.The gold-wrapped vaults, vaulted palaces, pavilions with arcades, basements, and labyrinths were all recorded in his travel notes in detail.

"My lord, the student's trip here is just a superficial visit. If the lord wants to have a deeper understanding of Tianzhu, it is necessary to send more people to study and travel carefully."

The guard Han read his travel notes very carefully, and when he was proud, Xu Hongzu had to say a few polite words.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think of how the North Tianzhu and our Southern Guangdong Army should get along?"

The fierce Shou Han raised such a question, but it made Xu Hongzu feel a little confused.However, he has traveled all over the world, and the various unexpected situations he has experienced have already exercised his ability to deal with emergencies.

"Northern Tianzhu is fertile and wild for thousands of miles, with a mild climate and large tracts of fertile land. If it weren't for the successive years of war between the descendants of Yuan's son-in-law and the Tuwang of Tianzhu, the people of Tianzhu would be able to cheer and sing."

Xu Hongzu considered his words very carefully, almost analyzing every word, for fear that his words would provide wrong information to Shou Han's major policies.

Seeing the serious expressions on the faces of Shou Han and Li Huabao, Xu Hongzu felt a little more at ease, and his words became more confident.

"According to the students, the tens of thousands of miles of land there are all good fields. The locals grow wheat, cotton, beans, tobacco and other things there, all of which are needed by our Southern Guangdong Army. If it is the master, if it is the master ,"

In a hurry, Xu Hongzu couldn't find the right words to express his feelings.

"If all kinds of items produced in the south of a certain house are traded with the prince of the Yuan Dynasty and the king of Tianzhu, trading wheat, cotton, beans, tobacco, etc., you can get huge profits? Isn't it?"

"Of course!" Xu Hongzu slapped his thigh, and his excited face became more and more purple. "My lord, the students have also visited various textile factories and printing and dyeing factories. Although they don't know where they are, they know where they are. First, they provide a large source of salary for our Southern Guangdong Army to ensure military supplies and civilian use. Second, it is also for women everywhere. It provides a place to work and earn a living. Although Songjiang is nothing more than that. However, the more such a place is, the more it requires cotton and other things. If the source of cotton is cut off, it may be difficult for hundreds of thousands of people to eat and drink. My lord, for the sake of the livelihood of the people in the south, the students have the courage to suggest that we must increase the trade with the kings of Tianzhu, and trade the things that come out of our south. Now the three princes have captured Bengal, and Haikou, Myanmar is also All I have, from Tianzhu to my south, it can be said that the natural moat has changed the route. How can we not increase the trade volume?"

After all, Xu Hongzu is a person who has experienced the world for a long time, and he is ten thousand times stronger than those corrupt scholars who only know how to find chapters and quote sentences.He has vaguely realized what a stable source of raw materials means to the cotton spinning and printing and dyeing industries in the South.

Among the family letters sent from home, he also knew that after the fall of two important cities in Luoyang and Xiangyang last year, and the two princes Fu Wang and Xiang Wang were killed by thieves, the price of cotton cloth in various places began to rise. "The price of cloth in Songjiang changes three times a day. Fortunately, there are a large number of merchants from Nanjing who have trafficked here from the south, so the price of cloth is still stable." (To be continued..)
