Win the Ding 1617

Abatai and Wang Ke became bereaved dogs.

After Changgou Town, a large area originally secretly controlled by Wen Xiangjiao was quickly controlled by the Cao Gang, and the soft and hard ground theory of Luo Hu and others was fully implemented in Shandong.

Originally inextricably linked with the Wenxiang Sect in private, in order to protect their families, the squires and clans quickly changed their team for the greater benefit, from friends to murderous executioners.

From Jining, Tai'an, Linqing, Dezhou, Longhuying, Jingying, and Liao Dongzhi's mixed brigade, like a group of iron men who never sleep, chased and intercepted Abatai and Wang Ke, stalking them to death!

Ever since, Abatai faced this scene:

It was originally a so-called soft land area, and those who were still devout Wenxiang sects learned that the implementation of the New Deal has reduced everyone's taxes and interest by at least [-]%, and they immediately broke out to teach!Who is the king?have no idea!I only know that Uncle Ning Yuan said that those who have contributed to the eradication of bandits, no matter who they are, as long as they do something, even if it is just tipping off, they will be rewarded!In this way, the originally obedient believers immediately changed from Wang Ke's eyeliner to the court's eyes and ears.

This is exactly what Luo Hu said, the first step is to blind him and clear Wang Ke's congregation and eyeliner!

No eyeliner, no tip-off.Abate could only rely on force to push forward.However, Li Shouhan had already given rewards to the armies and armed people in various places in Ming Dynasty. For Abatai's troops, whether they captured and beheaded alive, seized mules and horses and weapons, or provided information, they could all be rewarded by the Southern Guangdong Army!In addition to material benefits, there is another coveted reward, that is, according to different military achievements, you can be issued a confession document, regardless of your social role before.From the old boy who failed in the imperial examination, to the ranger in the country, and even the horse thief and bandit who relied on plunder for a living, with this document, he was an official of at least seven or eight ranks in the imperial court system.

You must know that the clan power in the northwest of Shandong, southwest of Shandong and all the way to Zhili and Gyeonggi is relatively strong, and there are also many villages, forts, and so on!In these places, armed forces and village brave groups practice.It is even impossible for a horse thief to face the enemy head-on with Abatai's Qing army, but they are strong at beating sap sticks, smashing black bricks, and stealing camps.In addition, it is even possible to hold on, at most two days, and the cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion who are chasing after them will arrive!

For such mobile warfare, or fleeing warfare.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, if peasant armies such as Chuangying, Caoying, and Xiying were embarrassed to say that they were number one, then no one would dare to say that they could rank ahead of them.

After Changgou Town, Luo Hu and Wang Long can be considered to have made a fortune!Not only sent a large amount of food and supplies to the rebels in Kaifeng, but also used thousands of mules and horses captured to turn all the troops into a cavalry team.

In this way, the dragon and the tiger are like a fish in water, galloping freely on the vast Luxi Plain!

Whenever they catch up with the Liao thief's team, just outflank it from a distance.First, the original cavalry rushed forward to shoot with horse guns.Dense projectiles have great lethality and intimidating power for large groups of troops on the march.after.It was the newly upgraded cavalry that began to attack, divide and outflank the Liao bandits' team.Use sabers and spears to teach those bandits and new coats how to behave and how to recognize their ancestors!

Not only was there a powerful mobile cavalry team following and chasing in parallel, but Rao Yubeile and Wang Jiaozhu also had to worry about the blocking team that suddenly rushed out in front.

The team retreating north had just passed through Tai'an, and was bumped into the Dongfan soldiers under Li Huayu who were ambushing from the south of Jinan City!Under Lu Mahong personally wielding a knife to supervise the battle, those Dongfan soldiers who were born in the mountains and forests of Taiwan were more savage and fiercer than the Liaodong Tartars.Wielding knives and guns in the snow, they completely separated the teaching bandit team from the Liao bandits, and wiped out the second town troops, Longhu battalion and Jingying troops who came day and night.

More than 2 religious bandits were driven to Jiaodong to escort Shanghai ships, and went to work as coolies in various places in Nanzhong. "If you are pardoned, you will not be pardoned."It was the treatment that Li Huayu gave them.

With a knife left and an ax right, Abatai's original tens of thousands of troops quickly fell apart and returned to the scale of more than a thousand people.Among them, there are no more than 200 real Jian slaves, hundreds of his coated slaves, and dozens of Wang Ke's cronies.

The hungry wolf in the past has now turned into a little mouse. After the news spread, all kinds of armed forces in Shandong became excited like chicken blood.Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, who were beaten by Abatai that day and fled embarrassingly, came back with the remnants of their troops, threatening to take revenge and make meritorious service.Armed clans from all over the country, even horse thieves and bandits, also targeted more than 1000 people like Abate.

At this time, if you don't hit the dog in the water, and don't seek that great fame and wealth for yourself and your descendants, then you are a fool!

Behind this mess of people, Li Huayu quietly realized his father's strategic goal.

Chuangying and Cao Ying were in the lead. Once they discovered that a wealthy gentry was dissatisfied with the new policy of reducing rent and interest, they immediately began to collect his related charges to see if Chongzhen's three-kill policy could be applied to him. on the head.If it didn't work, he consciously drove Abate to the towns where the big households lived. It would be best if Abate could break into the docks of the big households.

Then came the Shenji Battalion and the Sanqian Battalion, to carry out the emperor's will for such a person who has a solid foundation for collaborating with the enemy and is not good at defending against the enemy.

Pick the most lucrative leader who is also the backbone of a group of squires nearby to attack Wubao. According to the prior agreement, after the Longhuying and Jingying divided the spoils in a friendly and friendly way, they distributed all kinds of food and clothing to the nearby tenants and poor people. people.The next step is to promote Uncle Ning Yuan's New Deal.

"My yamen only enters standing up, and no one goes out standing up! What we are implementing is the new policy that Uncle Ningyuan carried out in Shandong according to the order of the emperor. Who dares to be a errand to pay food, and who dares to oppose the reduction of rent and interest. It is disrespectful to look at the emperor and father."

The soldiers of the Beijing camp, who were secretly scolded by officials and gentry from all over the country, have greatly increased their prestige in the hearts of the poor people everywhere. Facing the poor people with rumpled clothes, these dandy children hugged the clothes they handed out in groups. Food and clothing knelt on both sides of the marching column and shouted with tears on his face, long live His Majesty the Emperor, and the Qingtian Grand Master of the Beijing Camp, it was a rare time to show his thick skin.

Behind Jingying.The soldiers and horses of the second town marched along the official roads leading to Gyeonggi and Liaodong.Of the Southern Guangdong Army remaining in Shandong, only the Fourth Mixed Brigade headed by Liao Dongzhi and two garrison brigades remained.However, their main task is not to fight against thieves, but to protect them.

After the powerful gentry forces in various places were "traveled by thieves", the leftover power vacuum below the county level was quickly occupied by the Southern Guangdong Army.

From Rizhao and other places, Grange and Long prevailed.Even the people transferred from the business district of Shanghai quietly took advantage of the opportunity that the clans' power was temporarily weakened by gathering families and merging villages to prevent slaves and bandits from crossing the border, and quickly entered the towns and villages in various places.

Afterwards, in the name of the Southern Guangdong Army, various local armed forces were cleaned up and reorganized. Those who did not obey orders and disobeyed orders would be labeled as remnants of Liao thieves.

With this extremely skilled means, the Southern Guangdong Army began to build a regime in Shandong from south to north and from east to west.

The general procedure is like this: first, the army mopped up.Afterwards, the militia cleared the countryside, and then set up a maintenance committee. The amount is wrong, it is to establish a grassroots organization to consolidate.After these three axes are completed, the officials in the county or state will find that their decrees will not leave the city gate.

"In the spring of next year, I will promote cotton planting in various parts of Shandong, and conduct trial planting of corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops!"

In the city of Jinan.Li Huayu announced his strategic concept to the civil and military officials who came from all over the country to report their meritorious service.

After Shou Han led the Southern Cantonese Army to King Qin of Shandong for the second time, he received almost half of the land of Shandong from the hands of King De and other clans by half-handedly and half-robbery.The Southern Guangdong Army promoted the large-scale planting of cotton and wheat in various places.

After several years of hard work, Shandong has become the granary and cotton field of the Southern Guangdong Army in Jiangbei.Therefore, when Shandong became Abatai's plundering target and at the same time used Shandong to mobilize and attract the troops of the Southern Guangdong Army, he clearly knew the enemy's purpose, but he followed the sentence in the Art of War. "Whoever attacks the enemy must be saved!"

The officials are also very excited. If the cotton and wheat business is done next year, there will be no hungry people in Shandong, and everyone's evaluation will be excellent if not outstanding.Moreover, there is a large amount of food.In addition, there is the matter of officials and gentry working together on errands to pay food, and it is inevitable that all kinds of registered gentlemen and scholars must also buy some face.Everyone's pockets must be made bigger, otherwise they won't be able to hold so many silver dollars!

Officials from all over the country agreed with the strategy of experimenting with foreign crops such as cotton and wheat, as well as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes.Officials of the Ming Dynasty have no other skills, but they have the ability to cross the river by feeling the stones, or even wait for others to cross the river before entering the water.A few years ago, when Yang He, Hong Chengchou, Zhang Yixian and others governed Shaanxi, in order to achieve success, Zhang Yixian forced the promotion of sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes in Shaanxi, but the result was a civil uprising.No official is willing to make troubles on his one-acre three-point land in order to fight for political achievements.

(In countless time-travel novels, pig feet are a sharp tool to solve the food problem, those high-yielding drought-tolerant crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., these high-yielding crops must be popularized among farmers, and it is very difficult to adapt and domesticate .There are no corresponding good varieties adapted to the local geographical climate. Even if these crops are found and planted reluctantly, the yield will not achieve satisfactory results.

In fact, sweet potatoes and other high-yield crops were introduced from Luzon by Fujian’s Chen father and son in the Wanli period. After decades of promotion in Fujian, Guangdong and other places, it was not widely promoted in northern China until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. .

There are no good varieties, and things like sweet potatoes and corn are not as advantageous as everyone thinks.Starting from Xu Guangqi, he has worked hard for decades to keep sweet potato and other seedlings alive in the Northland.The technology of seedling raising of sweet potatoes alone has kept Mr. Xu Ge busy for several years. By the way, the technology of seedling raising in warm cellars he discovered is still in use today.

And corn is even more tragic.It took 100 years for corn to be recognized and promoted in the north.The sentence in the famous song "On the Songhua River", "There are soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains and fields", but it describes the soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains and fields, and the word corn is not mentioned at all.Zhang Zuolin is in charge of the work in the Northeast. The maximum yield of corn in the Northeast is [-] kilograms per mu, and the minimum is [-] kilograms. If there is an early frost, there will be no harvest.The average yield per mu is fifty kilograms.

Moreover, the above-mentioned crops have not taken into account factors such as seed degradation that will directly cause yield reduction and crop failure! )

In Taiwan, Li Huayu was engaged in land reclamation and promotion of crop planting.Naturally, he knew the difficulties involved. In addition to ordering people to take the ship escorting officials and slaves to the south to organize experts who are good at planting sweet potatoes and corn to go north to serve as technical guidance, he even ordered Taiwan to send more sweet potato seedlings and corn seeds to prepare for next year. of spring plowing.

Liao Dongzhi, Tan Qirui, Luo Zuming, Luo Hu, Wang Long and others naturally didn't care much about the situation in Jinan City, they just aimed at the Abatai troops in front of them.

Just like a few eight-pound civet cats playing with a dying little mouse, there is already a tacit understanding among the armies.As long as they want to attack some local gentry, they will quietly relax their guard in that direction, playing a game of beggar-thy-neighbor and blaming Jiangdong.

Then, the Jingying and the Longhuying received floating wealth, while the Southern Guangdong Army represented by Liao Dongzhi quietly took control of the political power below the county level in this area, and at the same time promoted the policy of government and gentry working together on errands to pay food, and reducing rent and interest.

However, this also sowed the seeds of hatred in the hearts of Shandong officials and scholars, the so-called cutting off people's wealth.Such as murdering parents.In the future, it will bring huge troubles to the Southern Guangdong Army and the Beijing Camp.This is something to say later, let's not press it for the time being.

The war situation and political situation in Shandong are changing rapidly at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye. The imperial court bosses, civil and military officials, and noble eunuchs in the capital naturally all saw it.And then another wave of political tide is quietly brewing.

Soon, under the deliberate promotion of the cabinet leaders, the actions of Li Shouhan and his son in Shandong were targeted.An impeachment was quickly brewing among civil servants.For this matter, out of various purposes and considerations.From Emperor Chongzhen to Uncle Xiangcheng and other dignitaries, as well as several eunuchs pretended not to see them, allowing them to connect wantonly in court, in the market, and in the study.

If it is said that Emperor Chongzhen intends to use the words and pens of civil servants to beat Li Shouhan, who is now famous and has tens of thousands of soldiers in the Gyeonggi area, then the purpose of Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen is even more naked.

Inside the study of the Xiangcheng Bofu.The eighth grandson of Uncle Xiangcheng is receiving a guest.

"Sir, have you ever read all these documents and letters sent by Uncle Ning Yuan?"

Li Guozhen sneered in his heart when he saw the fairy-like guest put down the letters on the table, and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead and temples while drinking tea from his teacup. "Uncle Ning Yuan has won countless battles on the battlefield. But how do you know the ghost land of the hearts of the court? That's good! These letters and documents he sent are the best help for this uncle to search for wings!"

The person who came was the clan uncle of the squire Meng surnamed Changgou Town, the one who now serves as the governor, and the staff member of the mansion established by the capital.

Knowing that the property of my hometown was confiscated by Uncle Ning Yuan's lawless son and a group of even more lawless nobles from the Beijing camp. Not only the property and house were wiped out, but the land was also taken away by those unscrupulous contributors. go back.Is this okay?At the moment, the Governor ordered the people in the Beijing Central Mansion to inquire about the style of the court, and prepared to impeach the soldiers of the Beijing camp for falsely accusing them of being robbers, looting villages and towns, and slaughtering good people.

As for Li Shouhan, a suitable hat has been prepared for him. Impeaching him puts the cart before the horse and fights for the wheat fields.

For self-interest, cotton was planted wantonly in Shandong, putting the cart before the horse and doing the opposite, which caused the price of grain in Shandong to remain high.Then wantonly searched for the people's fat and people's anointing, and the foundation of the country was destroyed.

Only by abolishing those exorbitant taxes imposed by Uncle Ning Yuan in Shandong, and the so-called bad government of officials and gentry working together on errands to pay food, can people's hearts be stable, Shandong can be stable, and Ming can be rejuvenated!

However, if you want to impeach Jingying, you must first go through the hurdle of Chaozhong Xungui!Although this group of dudes in the capital camp are not good enough, the little monkeys are not good enough, but they are standing in the Buddha's light.Behind them is the intricate Xungui Group, which has a vague tendency to turn around again in the past few years.

Therefore, Mr. Meng must carefully send someone to Uncle Xiangcheng to find out the details.

Unexpectedly, without explaining the purpose of coming, Uncle Xiangcheng ordered someone to take out the copy of the document sent by Uncle Ningyuan, and the person who invited him to read it for himself!

Your charge of accusing the soldiers of the Beijing camp is totally unfounded!Not only are the officers and men of the Beijing camp exterminating your village confidently and confidently, but also whether or not your job as a governor can be performed stably is also a matter of opinion!

"Recently there have been rumors that the emperor learned that someone from the noble family in Shandong openly cooperated with slaves and thieves and resisted the army. He was very furious and was about to issue orders to the barbarians. Sir, you should inform the noble family as soon as possible, and make some preparations early! "

Anyway, Jingying has already wiped out all the members of the Meng clan in Changgou Town, and all kinds of relatives are also clear.If Emperor Chongzhen intends to kill people, he just needs an imperial decree to complete the procedures!Nothing else is needed at all.

Originally, I came here to find out if it was possible to sue Li Shouhan for a black case, but now not only did he fail to sue, but his own life was also at stake. How could this work?

"My uncle doesn't know something. Although the Changgou Meng family is also descended from the sub-sage seedlings, they have long-standing relatives with the Bidong family. Moreover, this generation has been rampant in the village and committed many unrighteous acts. As early as when the Bidong family's father and grandfather were alive, So I reported to Ming Yasheng Mansion, opened the ancestral hall, and became a member of this generation. This person is no longer from my Meng clan!"

As expected, he has been in the capital for a long time, haunted various mansions, and has developed a quick-witted ability to adapt to changing situations. With a few words, he clearly tore apart the relationship between his master and the Changgou Meng family.For such a development, Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen had already expected it.

"Really? This uncle is ignorant. However, I would like to ask Mr. Meng to inform Lord Meng on his behalf, and ask him to write a letter to inform Benbo about the joint. In the future, if Uncle Ning Yuan follows His Majesty's will, When it comes to prosecuting the people involved, Ben Bo has something to say."

This is a blatant prescription for Master Meng.You have to complete the relevant procedures as soon as possible, and then come up with evidence. As for me, you can figure it out yourself.Anyway, if I can't satisfy my thoughts and desires, if that second pole of Ning Yuanbo really sends you to Yunyang Shikou in the future to treat you to a bowl of bandao noodles, don't blame me for not saving you beforehand!

After being served tea to see off the guests in the uncle's mansion in Xiangcheng, the staff hurriedly found a pair of pens and paper in the teahouses beside the road and wrote the letter, ordering them to leave the capital to go to their hometown in a hurry against the increasingly strong north wind. Go, contact the Yasheng Mansion in Zou County, and report all kinds of documents quickly.

In addition to these, a more important letter was sent to Mr. Meng in front of Mr. Meng.

Soon, a letter with extremely flattering and shameless words was sent to Uncle Xiangcheng with a long gift list sandwiched between it.

On the header of the gift list was impressively written six words of Mu Enxiao under the door. (To be continued..)
