Chapter 806: Self-reliance VS Two-Ended

Previous Chapter

When you think about it, there's more to it than that.

Although Dolgon was not as enthusiastic about Han culture as Huang Taiji, he also read a lot, and explained the successes and failures of governing the country in the past dynasties every day, and Han officials from the Hanlin Academy and the Inner Three Courts came to tell him. Even Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, Feng Quan and others in front of him have also talked about different topics for him. Some people in the court joked about them, calling them scripture speakers. "Although there is no title, the messenger is the same."

The iron farming tools from the south are also seen in Dolgon in western Liaoning. Many of the officers and generals of the Guanning Army used it in large quantities. Hoes made of fine wrought iron, shovels, nail rakes, and a kind of walking plough made of nine-turn steel, each of which is not very conspicuous, but when piled up, it has become a sharp weapon for increasing the grain production of these granges.

Several minions who threw two white flags from the Guanning army told him that all the granges that used these Nanban farm tools had increased grain production, and it had almost reached the point of cultivating more than one.

"Even those Zhuangzi who only use some of them can also achieve more than one cultivation."

What does Yu Yi Yu San mean, Dolgon also listened to Ning finish telling him what I told him.

The Book of Rites. The royal system: "With the passage of thirty years, the country is used." Kong Yingda Shu: "The annual rate is divided into four points, one point is intended for accumulation, and three points are used in the current year. One point for two years, and one point for three years. It is three points for three years, which is a year's savings. The rate of 30 years should have 10 years of savings. "And the Book of Han. Food and Goods Chronicles: "If the people plough for three years, they will have more than one year of livestock...... Three exams were dethroned, and the rest of the three years were eaten. Later, it was said that "more than one and more than three" were bumper harvests year after year, and the family had grain reserves and the treasury was full.

Influenced by Huang Taiji's vigorous promotion of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he also heard people talk about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which Zhuge Liang did not hesitate to extort in Sichuan in order to conquer the Central Plains in the Northern Expedition.

"Mr. Fan, before you said that when Zhuge Liang was in Sichuan, how many peasants supported a soldier?"

Fan Wencheng hadn't reacted yet, but Hong Chengchou had already thought of it.

"Your Majesty, if this trend continues, within two years, not only will there be more than enough grain and rice to feed the army in Huguang, southern Jiangxi, and northern Jiangxi, but a large number of young and middle-aged people will be able to come out of the fields, go to the workshops, go to the wharves, and become reserve soldiers of the Southern Army after receiving training. At that time, I was faced with not only the mountains of materials piled up by Liang Guogong, but also an inexhaustible supply of soldiers. ”

"Then, sir, how do I deal with it?"

"At present, south of the Yangtze River, the combat strength of my Qing soldiers and horses is far inferior to that of the Southern Army of the Liang Guogong Department. Moreover, the trend of the southern army has become a trend, and it is difficult to contain it for a while. As far as the minister could see, the southern army would not delay too long in Huguang, and would expand to the north and west. It is nothing more than to capture Nanyang and Luoyang in the north, enter Kuimen in the west, take Chengdu, and set Bashu in the bottom to occupy the upper reaches. Therefore, in the humble opinion of the ministers, he ordered Aobai and others in Bashu at this moment to wash up and make up their minds. Since the land of Bashu cannot be used by me, it cannot fall into the hands of the southern army and become the granary of their northward march to Sanqin! Instead, let them consume a lot of food and grass money here and delay time! ”

With a few words of understatement, Hong Chengchou turned the splendid land of the Chengdu Plain into ruins, and tens of millions of people into sparkling white bones deep in the grass and trees.

"The money and grain obtained from Chengdu Zuojin were used as military salaries, and our army on the West Road pursued the remnants of the Western Thief Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, and it was necessary to drive them all into Yunnan. Although the Mu family of the Duke of Qianguo in central Yunnan is known to have guarded Yunnan and Guizhou for generations, but his subordinates are slack, how can they be the opponents of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, a group of jackals, tigers and leopards under Zhang Xianzhong? I'm afraid that if I can't withstand a round, I'm going to collapse. The Ming army in Yunnan was defeated by thieves, Your Majesty, please see, Yunnan and Annan, the place where Liang Guogong started, are only separated by a river, and Guangxi is next door, both of which have not been destroyed by fire. What would happen if the evil tigers and jackals of the Western Thieves saw the prosperity and wealth on the other side? ”

"Good! Sir's Brilliant Idea! What a trick to drive Kou into Yunnan! Drive the tiger and devour the wolf! Good means! ”

Pursuing the Great Western Army, driving them into Yunnan, and even killing into Annam, harassing Hejing and other places, in this way, Li Shouhan's rear office was not quiet, and he had to devote his attention to the fundamental place. In this way, it bought time for the Qing army to reorganize its troops and horses and restore the place.

It's just that Inspector Hong is limited by the technology of the times, and his grasp of personnel flow information is not so timely. He probably never dreamed that at this time, the envoys of the Western Army had already gone down the Red River, went to Hongji Port to ship Shanghai, and came to Guangzhou to greet Mrs. Gao as a nephew. Greeting is just a chess piece, the purpose is to see how the old people in the camp are doing in the southern army, if they are doing well, then our Xiying people have also had many years of friendship with Nanzhong, why don't you rely on this big tree? If life is not good, then we can only plan for another plan.

But Bai Wenxuan, who acted as an envoy, never dreamed that all the way over, the old acquaintances he saw in the camp were all very nourished. Official envoys, military salaries, food and grass, all of which I never thought of before.

"I have to tell a few young marshals quickly, while our soldiers and horses are still available, sell them at a good price as soon as possible!"

How the people of Xiying colluded with the Southern Army, let's not press the table for the time being, and continue to talk about the situation on Dorgon's side.

Burning Sichuan into a blank field, cutting off the passage of the Huguangnan Army to Sichuan, increasing the difficulty of their march, and at the same time, turning this country of abundance into a ghost in the world, so that the Great Western Army could not survive here. And then to ensure the security of the Qing army occupied areas in the direction of Shaanxi.

"If the Southern Army clashes with the remnants of the Western Thieves, it will take at least two to three years to fight before they can make a difference." Dolgon pondered for a long time, comparing the strength and combat power of the soldiers and horses of the two sides, and came up with such a time.

"Ministers, you will calculate it for me according to two years, what should I do in the Qing Dynasty in order to be invincible in this battle?"

The originally warm atmosphere in the main hall instantly dropped below absolute zero. A few adults who were still talking were dumbfounded, looking at each other, not knowing where to start.

"Chen Banda, you are the clothed servant of me and the first emperor, you just have to talk about the little thought in your heart first, if you say it wrong, the gentlemen will not laugh at you." Dolgon ordered Chen Banda's general, which can be regarded as giving Hong Chengchou and the others a step down.

"Master, as seen by the slaves, if you want to defeat the Southern Barbarians, you have to learn from the Southern Barbarians. We still have iron and grain in our hands, and with iron and food, we will not worry about having no weapons, and we will not be afraid of having no soldiers. "Chen Banda is a craftsman and belongs to the technical school. As soon as you open your mouth, it is a matter of your own field of expertise.

"Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, whether it is Liaoyang in Liaodong or all parts of Guannai, there are a lot of iron mines and coal kilns. There is not that much steel production. If.... ”

"If I want you to build a blast furnace like the Nanban, will you be able to handle it?"

"Yes, but the slave has to spend a lot of money and food on the master."

"Humph! Dog minion, the eyelids are shallow! Your fifteenth master went to Jiangnan this time, and he didn't get anything else, but he got a lot of silver! It's enough to build a blast furnace for you! Duoduo laughed and cursed in his seat, proudly showing off his exploits.

Duoduo is indeed qualified to have the confidence to show off his exploits. This time, he went down to the south of the Yangtze River, not only conjured up hundreds of thousands of green battalion soldiers and horses out of thin air with thousands of light horses, but also took Nanjing City and captured Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor. Such a great feat, even if it is Dolgon, the second brother, he has to go out of the city ten miles to greet him, hug him, and pay tribute to the temple.

What to collect hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops, link the famous city, capture Zhu Yousong, and bring half of the south of the Yangtze River under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty, the achievements can be described as extremely prominent. But these military exploits are all superficial, and the biggest gain is the wealth that Duoduo wantonly looted, collected, and seized between the Jianghuai and the Huai.

The vehicle ship, transported to Beijing City into the treasury, there are as many as 20,000 taels of silver! There are also valuables such as children's jade silks, and the price cannot be estimated for a while, and it is also the volume of the vehicle. These are only included in the public accounts, and many are collected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As for the Eight Banners Princes Baylor, who went south with the army, and how much silver they transported to their homes, Duoduo couldn't say clearly. Therefore, Duoduo said that silver was the most important thing in the Qing Dynasty at the moment.

(This seized figure is based on the figures listed in the Ming and Qing Dynasty Maritime Commodity Trade Studies, Silver Capital, and other works.) If you are interested, you can go and check it out. According to academic accounts, from the opening of the sea in Longqing to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the silver imported into China ranged from less than 200 million to more than 500 million, among which, the Japanese scholars Yamamura Hirozo and Shenmu Zhenan estimated that 90 to 1.5 million kilograms of silver flowed into China in the 40 years before 1600. During the period from 1550 to 1645, 7,350---9,450 metric tons of silver flowed from Japan to China, or 19,600-252,000,000 taels. Take the middle number as 224,000,000 taels. Another Japanese research by Arai Shiraishi said: In the 47 years from the 6th year of Keicho (1601) to the 4th year of Shoho (1647), the export of silver from Japan was about 7,480 taels. The amount of silver imported from Europe to China via the Indian Ocean in 1550-1645 was estimated at 380 metric tons in 1550-1600 and 850 metric tons in 1601-1645. 1,230 metric tons[1] or 32,800,000 taels in 1550-1645. Wan Ming estimated that between 1570 and 1644 the amount of silver from the Americas that resold through Europe to China was about 5,000 tons, or 133,340,000 taels[23]. Zhuang Guotu estimates that between 1569 and 1636, the Portuguese imported 33.5 million Spanish silver dollars, or 27 million taels, into China from Europe; Some Western scholars believe that one-third to one-half of American silver ends up in China. Therefore, the unscrupulous author believes that the gentlemen of the West will finally turn the table and play hooligans. Because they found that according to the rules of formal trade means, they absolutely could not play the hard-working and kind Chinese. So, what kind of war began. This scenario and the current sweater war, sanctions are all one version. )

"How much grain does it cost, how many slaves do you need, the imperial father regent has to consider the overall situation, if there is a gap, your fifteenth master will have to make it up for you to smash the pot and sell iron here! However, your master has to say it in his head, if you can't take out what the master wants, don't blame your fifteenth master for not thinking about the master's and slaves' feelings. "If you say Duoduo, the sweet dates and the big stick come down together.

It was before the official start of the recital that Duoduo lost his temper. In the military reports from Shandong, Jianghuai, and other places, he found that the troops of the Southern Army now generally include two-pounder small cannons in the battalion-level firearms establishment. It was used to fill the gap in firepower between the original cannons, grenades, and firearms of the Southern Army. But in this way, the firepower and tactics of the Qing army were dwarfed.

Originally, under the cover of artillery fire, the Qing army adopted the tactic of opening the mountain with firearms, and under the cover of the rattan soldiers, small formations attacked in turn to resist the volleys of firearms of the southern army. At the same time, the long-range fire strikes of the spearmen were used to kill and injure the Yugoslav army. However, now, the Southern army is generally equipped with two-pounder cannons, and whenever they are in battle, they are lined up in front of the battle with two-pounder cannons.

The two-pounder cannon has a longer range than a lifting gun, and the rate of fire and lethality are slightly better than that of lifting a gun, so it is used to deal with the Qing army's lifting gun and Fuhu Kaishan tactics to disrupt your offensive rhythm and formation. Then bombard your formation with a volley of guns and hit your charge momentum with grenades and cannons. You are a cannon, carry a gun, and open the mountain, I am a cannon, a volley of guns, a two-pounder cannon, a grenade plus a bayonet, a pig. Therefore, after several encounters, the Qing army suffered a big loss, and Cao Zhenyan's spearmen were greeted by the Hongwu army's two-pounder guns, grenades and bayonets, and they were almost powerless to fight back. It all relied on the chain of formations to increase the depth of the position to buffer the bayonet charge under the firepower advantage of the Hongwu Army, and then responded to the charge of the Hongwu Army with powerful firepower. Therefore, the Qing army complained bitterly and demanded more artillery and grenades.

"It's not too difficult to imitate a two-pound cannon, but it's rare that the iron is not available. Shocking thunder, it is even more necessary to cast iron shells, gunpowder is not difficult to do, it is nothing more than the master to spend more silver, the difficult thing is that the minions under the gunpowder have not yet figured out what the process is. So, it's going to take some time. ”

"That king doesn't care, you just say how much food you need, and how long can you get the mission done?!"

"Master, if you want the slave to send the messenger, in addition to the money and food, the slave has to ask the master for a favor." Chen Banda kowtowed to Dolgon and said what he wanted.

His request is also simple.

Most of the more technical things are broken by a layer of window paper, but the key is that it takes time and people to pierce this layer of window paper. Chen Banda needs such a person.

"Therefore, the slave implored the master to make a will, and did not hesitate to reward all kinds of craftsmen in the Southern Barbarians to think that I would use it in the Qing Dynasty."

"Exactly! No matter what means they use, whether it is to break through the city and plunder the population, whether it is kidnapping, abduction, deception, lure, solicitation, as long as I can get a craftsman who can be useful to me in the Qing Dynasty, I will have a heavy reward! He paused slightly, "No less than ten thousand silver!" ”

"Good! The slave will live up to the trust of the master, and while striving for self-improvement, he will learn the skills of others. ”

"Go back and draw up a list of things, and explain how much grain is needed, and how officials at all levels and localities need to cooperate in order to do a good job in the affairs of military industry and agricultural tools." Dolgon frowned again, "You also worked in tuntian when you were in Jinzhou, and you also used a large number of iron farming tools for farming, and you had a bumper harvest that year, right?" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Banda's face suddenly turned pale, Dolgon was not bad at all, it was precisely because of his bumper harvest in the Grange in Jinzhou that Huang Taiji ate too much new wheat and steamed steamed buns, so he had a cerebral hemorrhage and died. Because of this, there were quite a few people in the Eight Banners who demanded to kill him and thought that Huang Taiji was sacrificing.

Today, Dolgon brought up this matter again, and he Chen Banda, no matter how bold he was, no matter how ignorant he was about the world, he would not dare to be careless when it came to life and death. Before I knew it, the two layers of clothes were already soaked with sweat.

"Since I entered the customs of the Qing Dynasty, each banner has some barren land in various places, and all the princes and belles also have some land. I plan to hand over these wastelands to you, you organize the displaced people, use your methods in Jinzhou, and you can also refer to the methods of the Nanban, anyway, I only need food. When it comes to the autumn harvest, at least these wastelands in the hands of the Eight Banners can feed the Eight Banners! ”

Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others had a clear heart, and these wastelands mentioned by Dolgon were actually those imperial villages, Wang Zhuang, and the Zhuangzi of the noble ministers and eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty. These lands can be found all over Gyeonggi, and there are similar large tracts of land in Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong, and other places. This is to be handed over to Chen Banda to implement the method of Tuntian1

"The minions obeyed. However, as far as the minions knew, there were some lands that some of the ministers of the court claimed to be theirs. In this situation, how should the minions deal with it? The officials Chen Banda mentioned are the officials of the DPRK and China represented by Feng Quan, and their land is not Tianlian Qianmo but across the state and county. Therefore, Chen Banda is going to ask Dolgon for a will, what to do with these people's land.

"Humph! These dog things! Since you have submitted to my Qing Dynasty, you still dare to talk about these things?! Those who dare to pretend to recognize the fields, refer to the official fields and wastelands as their own property, and oppose the tuntian, are all remnants of the previous dynasty and plotting rebellion. Raid the house, kill the head! Just enough to build a few blast furnaces for you and add some people to do the work! ”

Duoduo, the murderous and unblinking devil, heard Feng Quan's 36,000 pores all over his body. I had to make up my mind in my heart, and after I went back, I wrote to my family, as well as the same year and the same family everywhere, no matter what, when the court engaged in tuntian, you must not be in the limelight!

"Chen Banda, after your business is over, go to the side first and listen to the gentlemen's high opinions."

Inside the hall, several gentlemen fell silent again.

"Why, you don't have anything to say to me?"

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
