Win the Ding 1617

One by one, the messengers with the call-up orders on their backs frantically whipped the steeds under their crotches, raising a fleet of smoke and dust on the roads connecting various prefectures and counties.Their mission is to deliver the official documents in the cowhide canisters on their backs to their destinations within one day and obtain the palindrome.Otherwise, this urgent clerical task of eight hundred miles has not been completed, and will be subject to the most severe military sanctions!

Therefore, when the soldiers and civilians along the way see the small flags in this small group of messengers from a distance, they will very consciously get out of the way, because they know that no matter you are the emperor, if you are hit by these people, you can only It's my own bad luck!

After receiving the mobilization order, the prefectural and county yamen will immediately organize their respective watch teams and strong men teams, and send orders to the fairs in various villages and towns, and notify the people on the first-term mobilization list one by one. .As for the people on the roster, unless you have a wedding, funeral, birth, old age, illness or death, after receiving the mobilization order, the fields at home will be harvested soon, the cow will give birth to a calf, or the house will be erected. Also put down everything in your hands immediately!

At most two days later, one by one, the conscripts with their own changes of clothes on their backs, dry food prepared by their wives or mothers in their parcels, swords at their waists, armor, spears and firecrackers on their backs, would walk along the field path, The country roads, like trickling streams, converged on the main road leading to the county seat, and under the leadership of the officials in their own villages and towns, they went to report to the yamen.

In Jiang Yihong's pen, he described such a scene with passion: "In this way, the people of a county can form a battalion of soldiers and horses, a battalion in a county, a regiment in a state, and a brigade in a government. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of people, but Mobilize you in just a few places!"

This is the scene where Jiang Yihong witnessed the mobilization of Nanzhong in the Chaigun area, formed three reserve brigades, and then went to the Shalian area to suppress the Burmese king who was conducting rebellion there.Among the officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty who served in the Southern Guangdong Army, although Jiang Yihong was considered a sensible person who knew the difficulties of the world, but.After he happily described such an exciting scene, he didn't know how many years of accumulation such a scene would take.How much unknown, even invisible kung fu can be done to cultivate such a picture.

Those peasants put down their hoes, picked up the knives, guns and armors that were properly kept in the cages, and walked out of the house without hesitation or delay. Not only will the loss of a labor force in his family's fields not affect the harvest.On the contrary, other peasant households in the same establishment as him have to work voluntarily for his family's fields under the leadership of the chief.If his family's land production is less than other families, then I'm sorry, each of you will take out the missing part and make up for him!

If you want to do this, without a strong political organization and the ability to go deep into the village, trying to achieve this level is tantamount to nonsense!

"Under the lord's rule, the Ministry of Qin's law is used purely. Farming and war management. They are all linked to the status of the family, rather than being measured by literary fame." Jiang Yihong also honestly introduced this vital importance to his younger generation Huang Xigun. Condition.

He also clearly saw that those mobilized soldiers who were ordered to be mobilized to go to Shanlian to quell the rebellion of the Burmese nobles had their own reasons for their eagerness to try!

"If you beat the little king of Myanmar, the lord will take back their land to the palace for management, so we can have more land for farming!"

Chinese people's longing for land has never been concealed.Li Shouhan also saw this, so.After all the counter-insurgencies, they have generously taken out at least half of the land that originally belonged to the local rebel nobles and distributed them to meritorious soldiers.

It is the one who has never made military exploits.As long as you take part in countering the rebellion, you can also choose a piece of land for reclamation on this piece of land that belongs to the Duke's Mansion and belongs to the Nanyue Army from now on!Moreover, it is not subject to the restriction of [-] acres of land per capita!

This may be the reason why the people under the rule of the Southern Guangdong Army are happy when they hear the war! ?

After making military achievements and participating in the battle, there will be real and tangible benefits!

A mighty, seemingly inexhaustible army.Mountains of grain, grass, armor, money and food in the treasury, all kinds of products produced day and night in various factories, taxes paid by ships shuttled to and from dozens of ports, and the sound of reading aloud in villages, towns and cities. The sound, under the setting sun, the farmer who led the oxen and carried the plow pole back home.These are all the scenes that Huang Xigun saw in the chapters of a promising monarch described by countless saints.

He is determined to turn Guangxi, which is nominally under his own administration, into such a territory, at least, it must be somewhat similar!In that way, when he is old, whether it is writing a memoir of descriptive type, or someone else sorting out his chronology, or even an epitaph inscribed on the Shinto stele, it will all be a stroke of rich color!

After Huang Xigun expressed his wish to Li Shouhan, Li Shouhan looked at this young man who was almost the same age as Li Huayu with great interest. Such an important position as governor of Guangxi! ?Perhaps it is because in the eyes of the court officials, Guangdong and Guangxi are barren and barren, and the two have long been the delicacies of the Southern Guangdong Army. Therefore, it is appropriate to send such young people to Guangxi!

"Lord Huang, are you no longer annoyed by the fact that I ordered you to serve as the Youjiang soldier?"

Huang Xigun couldn't help but smile when he heard Li Shouhan's words that were somewhat ironic.When he first arrived in Guangzhou, he originally thought that he was appointed as the governor of Guangxi under the imperial order, and that he should go to Guangxi to be the lord of that province.Although Guangxi is barren, he is full of confidence. He wants to flex his muscles there and turn this barren land into a paradise.

However, Li Shouhan, who was in control of military affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi, ordered him to go to Youjiang to serve as a military officer. It will be a big mistake.So, you'd better go to the Youjiang area to familiarize yourself with the situation and exercise a bit before talking about it!

If Huang Xigun is a scholar, he pays attention to the way of nourishing Qi, and it is impossible for him not to respond to such things.But it can only be helpless to pack up and go on the road.

But after staying in the Youjiang area for a few days, he suddenly realized that it wasn't that the lord had a prejudice against him and violated the emperor's will, but that he really loved him.

Among other things, in the Youjiang area alone, there are so many local officials and magistrates, all kinds of local officials and magistrates.Without the protection of Li Huabao's soldiers and horses.I'm afraid whether his order can get out of the city is a matter worth considering!Not to mention the realization of their own ideals and aspirations.

Even if you can realize your ideal and build Guangxi according to the prosperous world in your mind, can you do better than Li Huabao?Huang Xigong asked himself.Really there is no possibility at all!

Since you can't accomplish anything by yourself, then follow the example of the 28 generals of Yuntai and the Conglong people when Taizu founded the country, be a person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix, and display your talents and abilities under the banner of the Southern Guangdong Army!

"Your edict for the appointment of the governor of Guangxi, I will order the official office to issue it in the near future. At that time, you should be kind enough to give Huabao one or two. Return Guangxi's reformed land to the stream, the integration of officials and officials, the fire consumption to the public, and the integration of errands to pay food and expropriation Taxes, building roads and bridges, planting tea, promoting education and other affairs are done well!"

"The lord is so loving, and he treats each other like a nephew, Xi Gun dare not do his best!" Huang Xi Gun was also somewhat unexpected, not only Li Shouhan announced his appointment as Governor of Guangxi, but also made him work with Li Huabao.Although he wanted him to give advice to Li Huabao, in fact, he knew better that he wanted him to be Li Huabao's good assistant!

"However, I will wrong you to delay for a few days in Xingyuan. I will deal with the matter of military expansion together with the official office, military department, military administration, and military orders! Come up with a provision!"

"Follow the order! I don't know how much the Lord plans to expand the army?"

"Our Southern Cantonese Army currently has eight towns in field maneuvers, two towns, a naval battalion, a guard brigade, and a mixed brigade. The Lord's intention is to at least double the size! Turn the guard brigade into a town, and the rest of the ministries will not move. , Just expand. As for Wu Liuqi’s bastard’s mixed brigade, whether he likes it or not, he will definitely be upgraded to a town this time! You write him a letter. Ask him if he wants to be in the ninth town and the tenth town Choose between these two numbers!"

Li Shouhan's tone was like scolding a child who was not very obedient, and Huang Xigun could naturally taste the taste of it. "Double the number of soldiers and horses is naturally not a problem. It's just that, my lord, I have seen the equipment of soldiers and horses in several towns. It is difficult to match artillery, vehicles, and horses for a while!"

Nanzhong's demand for horses has always been as endless as it is for manpower. Not to mention that the army needs horses, the needs of various transportation and transportation are also needed.Although there are two horse farms in Pulang Mountain and Tamna Island.At present, horses have been raised in Shandong, Denglai, Shizhou, etc., but the water is far away and the thirst is not quenched.

This time, the existing troops will be doubled. So, not to mention the soldiers, food, armor, military pay, weapons, etc., just the artillery, the horses that pull the artillery, and the vehicles that tow and transport the baggage are all big problems.

"This." Li Shouhan thought for a while, "Go and tell the office to count all the active artillery in stock and prepare to call it out! Order several factories in Hejing, and Long Shengxing. From now on, three Work overtime within a month to produce artillery and build vehicles. At the same time, tell those buyers who bought our artillery to delay delivery for at least three months!"

Huang Xigun thus became a member of this military expansion team, and was busy with various office personnel in the Yuexiu building every day among various official documents.

The more he knew about the Nanyue Army, the more Huang Xigun realized how terrifying this behemoth was, and the closer he got, the more he realized how completely different it was from the Ming court!

However, the news from the north made the whole Yuexiu Building tense up!

"Bastard! Who asked them to do this?!"

Listening to the roar coming from Li Shouhan's signing room, Huang Xigun, Chen Tianhua and others were all silent.Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding.

After a while, news came out from the signing room.

But it turned out that the young marshal Li Huayu contacted the rebels in Liaodong without authorization because of the convenient location in Shandong. He not only agreed to start peace talks with the rebels in Liaodong, but also sent a mission to Shengjing!Now that Li Huayu's letter was delivered to his father, it was clearly the smell of some uncooked and cooked rice, the overlord's hard bow.Moreover, the mansion in the capital also sent someone to send a secret report, and the news of the peace talks has spread in the capital!

This is Li Shouhan, the soldiers, horses, money, food and land are all his own!If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would have been locked up by the Jinyiqi school and taken to Beijing, or sprayed to death by the censors!

Although Huang Xigun has only been in Xingyuan for a few days, he has heard of the turbulence in the inner house of the Li family.When the Lord was in Jinan, Shandong, he was confused for a moment and sent a famous flower who was a merchant from Shanxi to curry favor with him.However, others are young phoenixes clearer than old phoenixes.However, our lord put all the old and young phoenix into the room without hesitation.

Not only did the mother and daughter take care of the flowers.It was an arrow, the mother and daughter both had the flesh and blood of the Sir.

For a while, in the inner house, Mrs. Li, who had always relied on the eldest son as her son, was quite domineering.Then some jealous sea waves!

Crying, making trouble, and hanging himself three times, even his wife, Yan Meier, did not do these actions, but she did them one by one.The trouble made Li Shouhan's head ache, so it was better to do less than to do more, so he left the mother and daughter and their children in Jinan.Never brought to Guangzhou.

However, not long ago, there was a letter from Jinan, which was written by Qimuge, the ninth lady, saying that her mother, that is, the eighth lady, had passed away because of postpartum depression.Only an infant son was left behind, and she also felt that Jinan was a sad place.So on the day the letter was sent, they planned to carry a pair of babies from Jinan to Laizhou.Board a boat in Laizhou Bay and come down south to vote for Xianggong.

Is this worth it?How can a pair of babies who are still breastfeeding survive the long journey and the rough seas?Maybe the two children died before the boat arrived in Shanghai!

Annoyed, Li Shouhan vented his anger on Li Muhua.If it wasn't for her, the mother and daughter would have been brought south by his side long ago, so how could there be a human tragedy where a baby loses its mother shortly after its birth?Want Qimuge to take a pair of children to the south of the sea?This is clearly because you mother and son can't tolerate that mother and daughter!

With such a fact in front of him, even if Li Muhua had ten thousand mouths, he couldn't justify himself. In a rage, Li Shouhan ordered people to "invite" Li Muhua into a deep and secluded courtyard, and come here to meditate behind closed doors and other forms. Circle ban.Let her reflect on her mistakes!

Mothers are always more precious than children, the reason why Li Muhua was able to stir up trouble in Li Shouhan's inner house was partly because of her status, which could be used as a rallying cry among the people in Annan.Consciously or unintentionally, she believed that half of the Southern Guangdong Army's Jiangshan foundation was her dowry.As for the other half, it was her belly. Li Huayu, as Li Shouhan's eldest son, performed outstandingly in all aspects, and he could be regarded as a model.

But today is different.This time, the Southern Guangdong Army put down the rebellion in various parts of South Central, and many people acted under the banner of driving out the northern thieves.Even in Ha Tinh, Thang Long and other places, there are many Annan old people making troubles.Although there was no chaos, it made Li Shouhan quite vigilant, and ordered the various inspection departments, statistics offices and other agencies to gradually clean up those old and young people from the previous dynasty, but anyone who could be used as a call to action was quietly Clean it up!He didn't want a King Huai of Chu to appear on his territory in a few years time!

As a result, Li Muhua's position became a bit awkward!But she didn't know how to restrain herself. As a result, in the eyes of some people in the palace, the position of the eldest son was also in jeopardy.But, it's so hard to die, the eldest son poked such a huge hole at this time, doesn't this mean that his position is not dangerous enough? !

This kind of secret affairs of the palace, the fight for favor and succession has always been a key chapter in the history of our nation with a history of 5000 years of civilization, and it is full of spots in the history books.As an excellent scholar, how can Huang Xigong be exempted from vulgarity?

"In this way, the position of the young master's mother and son will become more and more dangerous!" He calmly tidied up the manuscripts on the table, greeted the people around him with a smile, and at the same time, he was thinking eagerly. .

"Speaking of it, the second son was born to Mrs. Yanmei'er. Although he is not the eldest son, he can be regarded as a legitimate son. Although his military achievements are not as prominent as the eldest son, he has won the whole province of Guangxi. Compared with the eldest son, he is still a brother. What's more, counting, the princess and the second son were born of the same mother, and the princess and his wife are invincible in terms of prestige, status, and connections among the navy."

"What's more, over the years, Mrs. Yanmeier has always been known for her virtues. In addition to raising the children of the lord's wives and concubines, she also spread medicine bait and raised orphans. Except for the many children of the lord. Treating them as if they were their own, besides raising them well, they also raised thousands of orphans in Nanzhong with private wealth, provided them with food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and took care of them to read and write. The soldiers and civilians all regard their wives as loving mothers. If the lord wants to set up a heir , I'm afraid, the pass on Da Furen's side is not easy!"

All in all, Yan Meier, who has always treated others with kindness, seems to have a good chance of winning.In addition to comparing the two sons in terms of military merits and political achievements, they also have to compete for connections and approval ratings!

And in this point, Li Muhua, who has had eyes higher than the top for many years and is used to showing people with his nostrils, is much worse than Yan Meier, who is tolerant and virtuous. (~^~)
