Chapter 255: Worrying about the country and the people, Inspector Hong (third update, ask for subscription)
In this era, there were blacksmiths, carpenters, and ...... Anyway, there will be no craftsmen who carve book plates, and there will be no suitable craftsmen, so let's figure it out ourselves.
Although it is possible to put the extra number in modern printing, or buy a modern printing press from the other side, it is ...... Who will! In the past era, the mimeograph machine used to be an indispensable equipment for school teaching and organ work, although this equipment has long been eliminated, but when he was a child, Zhu Guoqiang had seen a photo of his father "lettering" on the steel plate, so he also had a certain impression of it.
With the convenience of the Internet, it didn't take much trouble, I bought a few brand new cylinder mimeographing machines and hundreds of sheets of transcription wax paper, and the rest of everything is simple, that is, to study how to use the mimeograph machine, there are both manuals and information, so for this printing technology, the scribes in the army, don't even need the guidance of the prince, only rely on the instructions and information, and easily master the use of skills.
Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Haoyuan first put the white paper and wax plate in the machine to fix, dragged the roller and pressed it repeatedly, and immediately printed out the "extra" that had just been written to expose how the gentlemen of Donglin betrayed the country to seek glory and how they colluded with the intention of building slaves to sacrifice the city.
Among the many scribes, he was the fastest at mastering the technique, so it was natural for him to demonstrate how to do it.
Because it was from the hands of these scribes, they were not curious about the contents, but stared at the mimeograph machine and exclaimed.
"It's so convenient! How is this made? ”
Zhu Guoqiang explained the principle of the mimeograph machine, although for its principle, everyone seems to understand or not, but it doesn't matter at the moment, the important thing is to use it first, and then slowly explore its principle, and finally attract, trial production.
The technology of the mimeograph machine is also very simple, which is very suitable for production and use in this era, so Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.
"This mimeograph machine is easy to make, mainly because wax paper is not easy to make, you can go back and study it and choose the most suitable paper material for engraving."
Everyone talked about this mimeograph machine.
"With the mimeograph machine, it will be a hundred times more convenient to print books in the future!"
"This thing is an artifact!"
"Oh, how can this not be an artifact, this is an artifact that the prince brought from the Heavenly Palace. Don't look at him as inconspicuous, but when it comes to the function of Guangxing education, I'm afraid it is not inferior to printing books! ”
Well, it's a miracle again!
Now Zhu Guoqiang is too lazy to explain these things.
Although the mimeograph machine is not suitable for large-scale printing, it is suitable for printing leaflets and other leaflets.
More than a dozen mimeograph machines printed tens of thousands of leaflets a day, so with the help of these leaflets, accompanied the army to the north. The gentry and common people along the way all learned through leaflets how the Donglin Party tried to sacrifice the city and betray the country, and learned how the prince was loyal to lead the troops north, and called on all the Ming troops to join forces to destroy Dolgon.
When the 80,000-strong army marched north, the spies sent by the Qing soldiers finally brought the news of the Nanjing upheaval to Haizhou and to Dolgon.
"What, that kid is rebellious!"
Upon hearing the news, Dorgon was excited.
"Is it true?"
If that's true, then God help me!
"Congratulations to the prince, now that the son of De Shizi is plotting rebellion, the Ming people must be too busy to take care of themselves, as long as they exert a little trick, the slave thinks that the army will definitely be able to return safely!"
Hu Gongming, who stood up to congratulate him, was a Han official, saying that he was an official, but in fact he was a slave of Dolgon. As a Han Chinese, like many Han people in Liaodong, he served as a slave in Tokso, that is, the slave estate of the prince Belle, and was enslaved by his master, living a miserable life, and being beaten and scolded and even slaughtered at the slightest mistake. Even if he tried his best to show his talent among the many slaves, he became an official from a slave, but in fact he still sent people under the fence, even as an official, he could not ride a horse, could not use oxen, could not plough a field, and even now he seems to be an official, but when they die, his wife and children will be distributed to the current person of the banner owner.
For Hu Gongming, what he wants is for the prince to make great contributions, and to seek a future for his wife and children after his death in the future - at least not to be sent to the current person of the banner owner.
Therefore, after learning that De Shizi was plotting rebellion, an idea immediately flashed in his heart.
"Oh! Tell me about it! ”
"Lord Belle, now that Nanjing has been seized by the prince of Mingde Domain, and he controls Yangzhou again, cutting off the transportation between the north and the south, for Mingguo, I am just a temporary worry, and the rebellious son of De is a henchman! So from the point of view of the minions, we might as well ......"
As Hu Gongming spoke of his plan, Dolgon's brow furrowed.
This is indeed an opportunity!
Compared with the risk of taking the sea route, the land route is undoubtedly safer, but the land route needs to consider the pursuit and counterattack of the Ming army along the way, which is why he chose the sea route in the first place, but what if it is like Hu Gongming said, what if the Ming army gives up a road for himself?
Not only can the whole army return, but even the stolen people and animals can also be brought back to the outside of the customs.
"But will Hong Chengchou be willing?"
Lord Belle's rhetorical question made Hu Gongming smile.
"Lord Belle, Inspector Hong is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty! He can tell the difference! Now as long as Lord Belle can see him, this matter will definitely be feasible! ”
"That ......"
After a moment's silence, Dorgon said.
"Just meet him!"
……
In the past month, tens of thousands of troops have gathered in the small Yizhou, which is the Linyi of later generations, and Hong Chengchou, who led the elite border army, chased the Dongyu all the way to Yizhou, and then stopped here. Outside the city, there were horses and infantry troops stationed everywhere, and the surrounding tents were lined up, and the war horses were in herds. At night, the drums and horns played against each other, the horses neighed constantly, and no one knew how many officers and soldiers there were.
The arrival of these elite border troops really relieved the people of Yizhou, at least they didn't have to worry about the Dongyu coming over.
After Donglu broke the wall and entered the customs again, in order to save the crisis, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, led the troops to lead the Xuanfu general Yang Guozhu, Datong general Wang Pu, Miyun general Tang Tong, Jizhou general Bai Guangen, Yutian general Cao Bianjiao's 100,000 troops, all the way south, pursuing Donglu, this way, although there are occasional battles, but in fact, most of the time, are from afar.
After all, the Donglu was very brave, and it was really not something that the Ming army could defeat in the field.
Hong Chengchou, who was born as a scholar in the Wanli period, was very young when he ascended to the top, and since then he has been rising step by step, and it has been smooth sailing, but he was in his early fifties a few years ago and became the governor of Shaanxi and the three sides, and he was awarded the title of secretary of the military department.
The year before last, he was in Shaanxi to supervise the suppression of the Western Bandits, and when he was about to exterminate the Liukou, he was urgently overtaken because of the Eastern Prisoners, and later served as the Governor of Jiliao to guard against the Eastern Invaders. Without waiting for him to rectify the military affairs of Jiliao, Dongyu entered the Kou again, and let him hurriedly lead the soldiers and horses of various towns to aid the capital, and then pursued all the way here.
Years of life on a horse have stained his face with wind and dust. He has been an official for many years, and he has long been polished off the edges and corners, hiding the viciousness and treachery in his heart, and being able to meet problems without arrogance or rashness, and be far-sighted. It is precisely because of these strengths that his generals are willing to serve him, Yang Sichang is not jealous of him, and the jealous and suspicious emperor also relies on him very much.
But now, in the face of the Donglu, he feels very headache, since he arrived in Yizhou, he has repeatedly fought with the Donglu, but every time it is in vain, the Donglu is good at field battles, and the Jurchen is invincible, which is not a joke. And what made him even more upset was the news from Nanjing.
First of all, Chen Wuving, the general soldier of the Tiger Ben Army under the command of De Shizi, defeated the tens of thousands of troops of Abatai in Nanjing, of course, the more shocking news, I am afraid that De Shizi actually took Liaodong directly from the sea, smashed Huanglong and captured Shengjing, killed tens of thousands of slaves, and even the skull of the chief Nurhachi was snatched back - in other words, he dug up the ancestral grave of the family.
This digging is relieving!
How many Liaodong Han people did Nurhachi kill!
But the problem is that this credit is made by the son of Deshizi!
Now the messenger of De Shizi is on the way to the capital, this ...... It's nothing, what's more, the deadly De Shizi killed Xungui in Nanjing and set himself up as the governor!
This, this virtuous son has made great contributions, but he also has the courage to splash the sky! What the courtiers do here is clearly a rebellion!
There is no need to think that Hong Chengchou knows that after His Majesty learns the news, he will definitely be furious, and he will definitely send a decree to the world and order the army to crusade against the rebel ministers of the German domain.
And Hong Chengchou, who is in Yizhou, must bear the brunt of it, go north to Jinan, take the king of De, and go south to crusade...... But before he could figure out how to deal with it, a messenger from Deshizi sent a letter, inviting him to join forces in Haizhou and annihilate the army of Dolgon in Haizhou.
When he received this letter, Hong Chengchou only felt extremely hot, what kind of letter is this, it is clearly a book of life!
Although there is no doubt about the statement in the letter that "30,000 Jiannu will be punished, and Jiannu will inevitably be greatly injured, and they will no longer be able to suffer from the Ming Dynasty", Hong Chengchou knows very well who is Zhu Ciying, the son of Deshi, now?
It's the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty!
It's the rebellious ministers and thieves that His Majesty wants to get rid of quickly!
Now at this time, joining forces with him to attack Dolgon, isn't this telling Your Majesty that he, Hong Chengchou, has also become a rebel and thief?
"De Shizi, De Shizi, do you think that your plan, Hong Mou can't see clearly? You're just trying to usurp the throne in the name of crusade, hmph, and when you defeat Dorgon, it's time for you to rebel! ”
With a cold snort, Hong Chengchou looked at the letter, frowning, what to do with this letter now?
Let's send someone to the capital!
Just as Hong Chengchou was making this decision, there was another messenger preaching.
"Governor, the East has sent a letter!"
