Win the Ding 1617

"Your household secretary checks the inventory. How much grain, oil, salt, and cloth can be used in southern Jiangxi right now?" Li Shouhan asked several heads of the office, and asked about this number at the beginning.

The principals were at a loss. They didn't know what the master asked about the medicine, so they secretly exchanged glances.There are also those who have quick brains, knowing that their eldest son-in-law has won the battle in northern Jiangxi and Jiangxi, threatening the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.Could it be that the lord wants to break through in this direction?Occupy the favorable geographical environment upstream, and then go downstream to recover Nanjing?

His mind was spinning quickly, and a series of numbers were also reported in his mouth.

Li Shouhan nodded after listening.After several years of operation in Gannan, we have seen results.Today's inventory in southern Jiangxi can meet the consumption of nearly one million off-duty personnel under Shi Lang's subordinates for at least four months.

"How much material can be transported to northern Jiangxi within three months? From Guangdong and Nanzhong? Along several rivers? Especially farm tools!"

Li Shouhan's purpose is very clear. He wants to take advantage of Shi Lang's proposal that Jiangxi has abandoned large areas of land after successive wars. In some places, it is basically a wilderness within a radius of tens of miles. In addition, Shi Lang captured more than 20 The strong men brought in from Jiangxi, Huguang, Anqing and other places are engaged in farming and large farms in this area!At the same time, use this period of time with the least disturbance to build water conservancy facilities in various places, dredge rivers, dredge rivers, build roads, and find suitable places to erect pontoon bridges on rivers.And so on, all of which require a lot of money, food and materials to be invested in advance.Moreover, in addition to materials, all kinds of agricultural tools and tools are also in demand like mountains and seas.

Providing these supplies to his son-in-law is not a big problem in his opinion.However, rarely is the transportation problem.Therefore, he must first determine how much food is available in the southern Jiangxi area, which can be supported until the day when the food supplies from the rear arrive.

When he saw Shi Lang's plan to build a large farm in Jiangxi, an idea suddenly popped into his mind, "My good son-in-law, won't make any kind of rent for the Marquis?"

In the history that Li Shouhan knew, after Shi Lang regained Taiwan, he was praised more than criticized.For example, he never killed the descendants of the Zheng family for the sake of revenge between his father and brother, but he treated them kindly.What was more criticized was that he occupied the land that had been reclaimed in Taiwan and established the so-called big rent system for the Marquis.

Shi Lang himself built 56 manors in Taiwan, and nearly half of the land in southern Taiwan was plundered by him, which was named "Shi Hou Ren Tianyuan".The total area of ​​the Shihouzu farmland is about 7500 square meters, and the rent for each property is two to three stones, which is called "Shihou Dazu".In Fengshan and Chiayi, there are 10 houses rented by Marquis Shi. Every year, 6000 shi of grain and 2000 taels of silver are sent to Shi's house in Beijing.That's why his son Shi Shilun is the upright and upright official Shi Shi in the novel "Shi Gong An", the upright and upright official who single-handedly recruited the golden dart Huang Tianba.His family is rich, he has the capital to be an upright official, and he is from a marquis family, so he doesn't have to worry about his official career, so naturally he doesn't have to scrape the land and honor his boss to fill his pockets.However, this incomplete Shi Shi and his capable and beloved general Huang Tianba are not positive characters in other storytellings.One is a cruel official who kills the green forest people to suppress the righteous men who resist the government, and the other is a scum who betrays his trust and sells his friends for glory.Anyway, go see for yourself!

Shi Lang wants to build a large farm in Jiangxi, solve the food problem of hundreds of thousands of troops, and at the same time restore production and stabilize society. It cannot but be said to be a good plan.Even if Li Shouhan was worried, he couldn't show it.

"Erya, how much land do you plan to occupy in Jiangxi in the future? Remember to pay the tax?!" He could only warn his daughter with a slightly teasing taste.

"Father, if I want to occupy the land, I can write a letter to Uncle Xu who is in the old land of the Shang Dynasty. Thousands of miles of land, mountains, forests and rivers will be mine. Why do I have such an idea in Jiangxi, where wars are frequent? "Li Huamei scoffed at her father's words.

According to Shi Lang's plan, he planned to organize the freshly captured strong men who were captured in several battles. The strong men from various ministries and regions were mixed together in different categories, and every hundred people formed a team. The rural areas where leopards and wolves infested to carry out reclamation.Among them, based on the strong men, the leaders are older soldiers from the Southern Guangdong Army, or veterans who are not suitable for joining the army after being injured, and then mixed with some veterans from the Shun Army as the backbone.In this way, a force that integrates soldiers into agriculture will be formed.

However, the effect of building such a social organization or armed force is obvious, but the initial investment is also huge.The rations and lodgings of these people before the harvest, the seeds, farm tools, plow sticks and cattle needed for farming all need to be continuously transported by the Southern Guangdong Army.That's why Li Shouhan first asked the Husi people how many farm tools and grains they had stored in southern Jiangxi and Guangdong and Guangxi.

As long as these material aids can last until the late rice harvest, Jiangxi can declare that it will be the territory of the Southern Guangdong Army from now on.At that time, Li Shouhan believed that, based on the experience of the Southern Guangdong Army in farming and land reclamation, Jiangxi would be able to supply the fertile land of Jiangxi, not to mention supplying the tens of thousands of people in Shi Lang's hands, even a few hundred thousand more. rise.

However, problems that can be solved with money, food and materials are not problems.

Li Shouhan's annoyed question was that Shi Lang, his good son-in-law, didn't even bother to ask for instructions beforehand, so he took care of such a big matter as the integration of the rest of the Dashun Army.After forming the facts, apply to him for a report.This can’t be regarded as getting on the bus first and then paying for the fare. This is clearly the same as telling you that I am in love after the child is born!

Not to mention how to organize the 10,000+ Shun army, how to give official positions, and how to provide military salaries and materials.Don't forget, they are the Dashun army, and under the banner of the Ming court under Li Shouhan's eyes, there is also a Tang king who supervises the country.In the documents and archives of the imperial court, the purpose of various documents about the Dashun Army is the same.They were a group of traitors who forced the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to death, leaving only half of the Ming Dynasty left.Everyone gets it and kills it!

But now Shi Lang took such a large group of people under the banner of the Nanyue Army in a majestic way!How should Li Shouhan fight with those civil officials in court?

He was worried about this, and told Li Huamei unabashedly.

"Father! If you want me to say that the Ming court has been reduced to what it is today, it has given too much face to this group of civil servants and thieves! If you came to King Jingqin back then, you would have suppressed the rebellion of chieftains and Sudans in various places in Nanyang. You are as tyrannical as ever, after you entered Beijing, you first took advantage of the power of the great victory to kill him in the court, killing the gang of thieves so much that they peed in their pants when they saw your shadow. Nightmare, will they still give us all kinds of constraints?! You have made all kinds of compromises for many years, in their eyes, that is weak and deceitful! So, if you make one step, they will take three steps. You make three more One step, they will go up nine steps! Until you give way, there is no way to retreat! However, we will retreat to Nanzhong to be our local emperor, regardless of whether his surname is Zhu or Li in Zhongyuan! However, the country of the Ming Dynasty It was buried in the hands of these thieves!"

"This one says that the Daming country was destroyed by Li Zicheng, the other says that the Daming country was destroyed by Huang Taiji and Nurhachi and his son, and the old king next door said that it was destroyed by the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian. But in the final analysis, it was all these The civil servants were ruined! Don’t forget, when Nurhachi was General Dragon and Tiger, they held high positions in the imperial court. When Li Zicheng was still his postman in northern Shaanxi, they were all in charge of the court, and Wei Zhongxian monopolized the power At that time, they were busy building a shrine for Eunuch Wei. Why is it so good, the mistakes and crimes belong to others, they are always at the core of power, but they are as holy as the lotus throne of Guanyin Bodhisattva?!"

"Our Southern Cantonese army has suffered from eating these pickled things all these years, and suffered from the idleness of these dogs who are not as good as things? To be honest, my lord, the princess is right. Today's Ming court has fallen into such a miserable state. The gang of dogs and thieves is inescapable! Your cowardice and retreat are also indispensable!"

At some point, two brothers, Li Peiting and Li Peilin, appeared in the yard, standing quietly in front of the colonnade.The impassioned words just now came from the mouths of these two brothers.

The words and actions of the beloved daughter, the eldest son-in-law, and the chief minister were like a slap in the face, making Li Shouhan dizzy, "Could it be that my actions all these years have been wrong?"

"Exactly! Father! If you were willing to act decisively back then, our Southern Guangdong Army would occupy half of the south of the Yangtze River and defend the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. If we advance, we can compete with the Liao thieves, and if we retreat, we can preserve the southeast half! At least, the eldest brother will not die so badly." I was wronged, and now my elder brother and sister are still fighting for his old Zhu family in Yimeng Mountain! We have so much money and food, can we fight for my old Li family? Is his old Zhu family’s country really God-given to others? no?"

"The princess is right! The money and food in front were wasted in vain! Many were even brought into slavery by those shameless officers and soldiers. They turned around, holding our knives and guns, wearing our armor, and our stomachs come and beat us!" Li Peilin was a little annoyed, for more than a year, he had seen so many officers and soldiers from all over the world surrender and change, he didn't even have time to change the flag, he just tied a white cloth on a conspicuous position Tiao has changed from a certain town where the Ming court managed the official army to a certain town of the Qing army.The commander-in-chief of the town is still the same commander-in-chief, and the soldiers are still the same soldiers, the only difference is that there is a white cloth strip on the banner, and the hair is shaved.Then he came to the south like a fierce god.This point is quite similar to a certain army.The commander is still the same commander, the army commander is still the same army commander, and they don't even shave their hair.At most, add the six-character mantra of "Democracy and Peaceful Construction of the Nation" on the military flag, and you can transform yourself into a soldier of the Peaceful Army.After a few years, these dignified "Xianhe Army" soldiers will be able to stand up in the sun as the heroes who guarded Hengyang, and stand up in the sun to accuse the government and society of all kinds of dissatisfaction with these veterans who joined the army during the Anti-Japanese War. Fair treatment!Note that it is a "veteran who enlisted during the Anti-Japanese War", and the abbreviation is also "Veteran of the Anti-Japanese War".As for who gets into the team, who carries the gun and fights for whom, those volunteers and related organizations are selectively blind.

Li Peilin wanted to continue pouring out the accumulated anger in his chest, but his elder brother Li Peiting lightly touched his arm, signaling him not to say any more for now.Because at this time, Li Shouhan had already fallen into deep thought.

It took an unknown amount of time before Li Shouhan suddenly woke up.He found the two brothers of the Li family and his eldest daughter Li Huamei sitting quietly beside him. There were a few dragonflies on their bodies, and a few petals on the skirt of the clothes exuded a residual fragrance.

"Brother Zong, you order the office to send an edict to Shi Lang, the recruitment envoy of West Jiangnan Road, asking him to conduct an inspection of the various units of the Laigui Shun Army, based on the organization of our Southern Guangdong Army, and combining the characteristics of the soldiers and horses of the Shun Army. Preliminary First, let’s give him eight towns and twenty brigades! The number of soldiers and horses must be made up according to the organization table! The shortfall will be filled by him selecting strong and good soldiers from among the captured soldiers and horses! At the same time, from his subordinates Among the various ministries, select capable personnel to preach and teach among the above-mentioned ministries. Make the ministries familiar with the system of our Southern Guangdong Army, and prevent them from misunderstood by our Southern Guangdong Army! In addition, the above-mentioned personnel must not only teach the ministries to master the system, but also must teach the ministries to be familiar with it. I am familiar with the tactics of the Southern Cantonese Army, flags and signals! In order not to cooperate with each other in future battles, we will not be rewarded or punished!"

This method of operation is to gradually transform the Dashun Army into southern Guangdong in terms of system and tactics. The instructors sent to the various departments of the Dashun Army are actually equivalent to yeast. Through the process of passing on teaching, they will The Dashun Army carried out a subtle influence step by step until they became the periphery of the Nanyue Army.

Moreover, once the rest of the Dashun Army got used to the supply system of the Southern Guangdong Army, the standard of food and wages, and became familiar with the fighting methods, even if the generals had the heart of rebellion and planned to pull the team to seek him out, the soldiers and horses under their command would give up decisively. He even cut off the head of the leading officer to make meritorious service.The reason is very simple. Looking around the world, who has higher food and salary than the Southern Guangdong Army?Is there anyone who has a lot of artillery fire in the battle of the Southern Guangdong Army, who is injured and treated by the health camp, and can receive pensions?

What's more, in the process of reorganizing troops and horses, the troops of the [-] brigades in the eight towns, and officers at all levels must go through the verification and appointment of Li Shouhan and Shi Lang. raise up.If you can't agree on a price, then you can't blame me.Shi Lang was also a pirate for many years, so he didn't know the slightest tricks to eat gangsters.

The next most important thing is that Li Shouhan will settle those talkative civil servants one by one in the court.

Brothers Li Peiting and Li Peilin came out after leaving, recalling Li Shouhan's killing decision just now, quite happy.In their view, the hero who acted vigorously and resolutely back then has returned.

"Today's incident, if it weren't for the big county horse taking in Li Chuang's remaining troops in Jiangxi, and the big princess's violent storm, I'm afraid the lord is still sticking to the so-called righteousness of the monarch and his ministers!" Li Peilin was quite proud , thinking that his timing was just right.

"No way. You only saw the appearance, but you didn't see what the lord thinks in his heart." Li Peiting was quite disdainful of his younger brother's opinion. "Actually, do you think that the lord will turn a blind eye to the hostility and constraints of the civil and military forces in the court to our Southern Guangdong Army? Do you think that the lord has no resentment towards his old Zhu family? Even if he didn't at the beginning, after the death of the young marshal, This bit of anger is enough to burn down Zhu's family and be buried with the young marshal! It's just that the lord is kind and doesn't want to bear a bad reputation. Now it's all right, the princess and his wife put a good reason on the lord In front of you. I took in hundreds of thousands of Shun army soldiers and horses to expel the Tartars. I also gave these people a way to rehabilitate. If you want to keep these people out, they turn around and join the Qing army. Are you going to deal with them? ?”

If what Li Shouhan said meant that during the Jiajing period, or the Wanli period, even if you were Liang Guogong and had a super rank, even a seventh-rank man in the court could jump out and spray white smoke from Li Shouhan's ancestral grave, This is still good, if you meet a person like Yuan Dushi, immediately ask for the Emperor Sword to behead you and order the three armies.Just kidding, how can we official officials in Kejia do such mundane things like fighting and killing? We are all sitting firmly in the big tent of the Chinese army, drinking tea and playing chess and bragging. You fight in front of the battle Flesh and blood fly away and I have a half Tongbao relationship?If I win, it is because my command strategy is correct; if I am defeated, it is because you are unwilling to give up your life.

However, now that Emperor Chongzhen is dead and Emperor Hongguang is captured, the entire Ming Dynasty has to be supported by Liang Guogong's guns, rice bags, and money. If he said this, it would be a showdown.

Sure enough, when Liang Guogong Li Shouhan presented a memorial to the Tang King in the court hall, he said that his subordinate Shi Lang was in Jiangxi to observe the situation and give people a road to self-renewal. After preparing to give official positions according to the Southern Guangdong Army system, he glanced at his colleagues around him, and also glanced at Tang Wang who was sitting in the front seat.

"After I finish speaking, who approves and who opposes?"

Naturally no one objected.However, the dignity of the court still needs to be taken care of.So, a decree came to Jiangxi. According to Li Shouhan's opinion, the Dashun Army was organized into eight towns and twenty brigades, all of which were equipped according to the Nanyue Army's organization.For the appointment of officers and generals at all levels, Gao Yigong and other top officials of the Dashun Army came up with a plan and reported it to Li Shouhan for approval.

However, the instigator of the incident, Shi Lang, took in 10 horses without permission, and was credited with the great victory in Jiangxi to recover the lost land.The imperial court decided to give Shi Lang the punishment of being promoted to three ranks, demoted to two ranks, dismissed and retained, and self-redeeming before serving in the army.

More than a month later, when Li Shouhan returned to Guangzhou, there was a news that put him in an embarrassing situation in front of the wives in the inner house.

"Ms. Gao led the family members of the various ministries in the Shunying. Headed by Li Laiheng, they have already passed Shaoguan and are heading for Guangzhou. The various ministries of the Shunying have discussed and settled the family members in Guangzhou, so that everyone can contribute to the Duke."

However, all the ladies in the inner house looked at Qi Muge's mother and daughter, Li Zhenli's mother and daughter, and then Liu Rushi, and they were deeply suspicious of this matter.
