348 The fifteenth year of Chongzhen
I had personally experienced some people's cynicism about my family just now, and seeing them all showing envy at this time, Liu Fugui felt more happy in his heart.
When he turned his head to look at the two parents, who were much older than their actual age, and understood that they were having a hard time, he said loudly again: "The child is now a small flag in the cavalry under the command of the national prince, and the military salary is paid in full. From now on, father, mother, you can live a good life, and the children will send military pay back. ”
Hearing this, both his parents were proud and nodded with tears.
My own son, finally has a chance!
The joy of his son's return was replaced by the joy of his son's success.
The change in the attitude of the father-in-law and the envy of the neighbors outside reminded the two of them how much other people's families envy their sons!
At this moment, a crack opened in the door inside, and a voice came from inside: "Dad, mother, brother, I am also going to be a soldier!" ”
Hearing this, many people outside came to their senses.
That's right, now the treatment of the officials and soldiers of the imperial court is so good, it is really good to be a soldier!
However, of course, some people are still a little hesitant, they don't believe that all the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty can have such good luck as Liu Fugui.
At this moment, I heard Liu Fugui say to his father and mother with a smile: "Father, mother, during the Chinese New Year, there are performances in the barracks, singing songs, and acting, and ordinary people can go there." I'll take you there, and you can see how the barracks are doing! ”
This news suddenly surprised everyone again.
Ordinary people can go to the barracks to watch a play, just watch it with those who are soldiers? This...... How is this possible!
In their impression, the army has never been friendly to the common people. On weekdays, it's already thankful that you don't loot, but now you still have to perform a show and have fun with the people?
Is there such an army in this world?
Even if there are legendary armies, at most they are strictly disciplined and do not disturb the people!
At this moment, everyone had a strong interest in the army outside the city.
Later, when they saw Liu Fugui taking his parents and his younger siblings to the street to go shopping, carrying things home with large bags and small bags, and those with good relations, each family shared some pig's head meat. Later, when Liu Fugui's family invited Lao Wangtou's family to Zuixianlou for a big meal, the news about Liu Fugui spread suddenly.
"Have you heard of it, that old Liu Tou's family lives on the other side of the broken street, his son has come back and became a cavalry member of the Xingguo Mansion outside the city, tsk, you really haven't seen it, and he has returned to his hometown!"
"It's just a big-headed soldier, what about the cavalry, it's still dressed and returned to its hometown, and it's not a scholar!"
"You don't know! His son came back this time, it was Princess Kunxing's Mobao, the big seal of the Duke of Xingguo, do you know what to write? Da Ming is a good man! Isn't that a great honor? ”
"Also, you didn't see them buying things in large bags and small bags, and the military salary is also high. Anyway, I don't know if you are envious or not, I am envious to death, it's a pity that I only have a daughter in my family! ”
"What's wrong with the girl, it is said that there are also female soldiers in the national army! During the Chinese New Year, the barracks will perform dramas, and we ordinary people can watch them together, it is said that the salaries of those female soldiers are the same as those of the cavalry! ”
“……”
In the midst of discussions, the people of Hanzhong City saw groups of court officials and soldiers entering the city, not only did they have strict military discipline, they never disturbed the people, they did not bully men and women, and they did not force them to buy and sell, which made them refreshed.
What surprised them even more was that these court officers and soldiers were very bold and rich people who shot one by one!
The clever businessmen immediately smelled the business opportunities and put up signboards one after another, indicating that they welcomed the patronage of the imperial court officials and soldiers, and there were discounts.
There were even some businessmen who simply took their men out of the city and went to the barracks to set up stalls on the side of the road in the city.
Such a big movement suddenly made those who stayed at home also heard about it.
It can be said that in the past few days near the end of the year, no matter who the people in Hanzhong City are, whether it is ordinary people or rich squires, their topics cannot avoid the army outside the city.
On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the people of Hanzhong City, after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner early, went out of the city to see the rarity.
Needless to say, the performances of literary and artistic soldiers, whether they are songs or sketches, are all very new to them. And watching the performance with the imperial court officials and soldiers gave them a new understanding of the military discipline of the imperial court officials and soldiers.
In just a few days, not to mention anything else, just the court officials and troops led by Xingguo Gong greatly changed their understanding of the court officials and soldiers.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Mingwei refused the invitation of King Rui and the officials in the city, but stayed in the barracks, and after showing up with Princess Kunxing to inspect several performance points, he returned to the Chinese military tent.
This is Zhang Mingwei's first year after crossing over, the so-called thinking of his relatives every festival, he also misses his relatives in the future, but he also understands that he can't go back.
Perhaps Zhu Yujiao also saw this, so she spoke to him carefully and cleared his thoughts.
Zhang Mingwei was also free and easy, and soon came back to his senses from his thoughts and began to think about the present.
The fifteenth year of Chongzhen has passed like this. Because of his own crossing, this Chongzhen fifteen years has been completely different.
Listening to the cheers from time to time outside, Zhang Mingwei secretly reminded himself: I have to continue to work hard and transform the Ming Dynasty well.
The fifteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, in 1642, passed like this.
………………
In places where Zhang Mingwei's butterfly wings have not been affected, this year, the world situation is still developing according to the original history.
In that year, King Charles I of England declared a "crusade against Parliament", provoking the first civil war.
In that year, Dutch Captain Harlausi commanded 690 men to land at Joncoop Harbor and launch an attack on the city of San Salvador, eventually driving the Spaniards out of the Grand Force, thus dominating the Grand Force.
In this year, the Italian astronomer Galileo, who was forced to abandon the Copernican doctrine and submit to the Church, died under house arrest by the Church. His old age can be said to be very sad.
In that year, Abel Tasman of the Netherlands set out from Batavia and discovered New Zealand.
In the place affected by Zhang Mingwei's butterfly wings, there is another tragedy that needs to be mentioned, that is, North Korea.
Ying Erdai led 5,000 Jianyu to North Korea, and went straight to Seoul, the capital of North Korea.
In his opinion, after Korea was conquered twice by the Qing Dynasty, its backbone had been broken, and it was enough for him to lead 5,000 men and horses.
However, what he didn't expect was that Li Laiheng's troops captured Haizhou City, Anshan Post Fort, and the matter of the troops approaching the outside of Liaoyang City had spread to the North Korean side.
This made the main battle faction in the Korean court suddenly have high morale and regain the upper hand in the court.
In the original history, because of the fiasco of the Battle of Songjin in the Ming Dynasty, the Korean monarchs and ministers were strong against Jianyu to a height of fear. Therefore, under Hong Chengchou's confession, the North Korean side immediately handed over several courtiers of the main battle faction.
However, this time, the civil and military factions led by Choi Mingji and Lin Qingye grasped the right to speak in the Korean court and said "no" to Jianyu.
However, in the Korean court, Hong Chengchou actually surrendered to Jianyu, which was never expected, and it was a blow to the courage of the Korean monarchs and ministers.
Later, Hong Chengchou helped Ying Erdai to break through the defense line that Lin Qingye of North Korea had built up with great difficulty, and let Jianyu come to the city and besiege Seoul again, when the lord and faction of the Korean court regained the upper hand, and finally, they tied up Cui Mingji and Lin Qingye and dedicated them to Ying Erdai.
The third Korean war only caused a small wave, and it ended.
Ying Erdai came with a mission, and just under the pretext that Cui Mingji and Lin Qingye dared to resist the Qing army and were still clear, they occupied the palace and did not leave, and forced the king of Joseon to agree to his request.
There was no shortage of money, grain and water divisions, all of them met the requirements, and then they escorted Cui Mingji and Lin Qingye back to Liaodong to resume their lives.
At this time, North Korea is the same custom as the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the New Year. If it was in previous years, even if the common people couldn't celebrate the New Year, the palace and dignitaries would still take care of it.
However, this time for the New Year, even the royal palace has no meaning of fig leaf. It's really too hard to be squeezed by Jianyu. Within a year, two tributes were paid, and each time it became more ruthless. Even the North Korean sailors were taken away.
The common people of North Korea are already living an extremely difficult life. Now that the imperial court is incompetent, the two consecutive robberies of money and food will eventually be passed on to the North Korean people.
Unable to bear it, the North Korean people either died, or fled to the mountains, islands, etc., in order to avoid paying taxes, or even simply gathered crowds to rebel.
Although there was such a thing in the original history, but because of the fanning of Zhang Mingwei's butterfly wings, Jianyu could not obtain money, food and population from the Guannai, and finally replaced them from North Korea, so the resistance of the Korean people was even more rapid than in the original history.
………………
On the side of Daming, on the eve of the Chinese New Year, Zheng Fusong, the youngest deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, led his father to give him the sailor and arrived at the original Denglai Sailor station in Dengzhou.
Before they arrived, there was an urgent report to the imperial court. Therefore, Sun Yingyuan, the governor of Shanyong, and Li Laiheng, the general soldier of Liaodong, both went to Dengzhou in person and waited for them in a rare way.
The military council was then convened to discuss the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town, and the implementation stage was officially begun.
It is foreseeable that in the coming sixteenth year of Chongzhen, there will be major events in Liaodong.
As for Zhang Mingwei, on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, he was already preparing for the war in Sichuan.
