The pig's feet, which are undisciplined, have finally revealed the true face of waging war! It wasn't for justice!?

In autumn, the lord is majestic and killed, since ancient times, under the influence of factors such as agricultural yields, general wars are carried out in autumn, and the main reason is grain. In this season, whether it is in the south or in the north, all kinds of grain crops are harvested and put into warehouses, and the preparation of military grain and horse feed is relatively less stressful.

Beginning on 20 August, the South China Army began preparations and mobilization for war.

After several years of education and the baptism of reality, the impression of the people in Nanzhong about the war has slowly changed from fear and disgust to blandness, until now they like it, and after hearing the mobilization order to go north to crusade against the traitor Zheng family, almost all people from all walks of life are rejoicing.

The merchants knew that the slaughter of the city and the mass killing of such things would not be done by the Nanzhong army, and they would not do such things as destroying the market, so the war for the merchants was the expansion of the market, the growth of trade, and the increase of income. Of course, the amount of tax that needs to be paid will also increase.

The peasants knew that fighting a war meant that their domestic pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, dried fish, and cured bacon would be purchased, and the rice in the barn would be pulled away by people one by one and used as military rations. In exchange for a jingling coin, or a very beautiful cloth printed and dyed.

The workers in the factory knew that fighting a war meant that their products would increase substantially, and according to the piecework wage agreement, their income, vegetable subsidies, overtime pay, and so on would also increase substantially.

The students of the political hall know that once they succeed in the northward attack, they will get a bigger and better space for development, which can be seen from the experience of their seniors, every time they expand their territory abroad, a large number of village and town mayors have the opportunity to be promoted, and individual students have sat in a position similar to that of the prefect of the mainland. What a bright future ahead!

Even Ruan Phuc Ying and his subordinates were very excited, and they took revenge on themselves by defeating Thang Long, and according to the lord's consistent practice, where the roads and bridges were built, they would have a lot of money and food to earn!

"What do we gain by fighting this battle? Is it arable land in the Red River Plain? Or the riches in Thang Long City? Or the people under the Zheng family? ”

When Shouhan mobilized his civil and military officers, he was very strict in tapping the map of the Zheng family's territory behind him, which clearly marked the towns, rivers, mountains, forests, fields, minerals, population and other information. This is the map that the people of the Han and Yuan Dynasty business offices spent countless manpower and material resources to draw in four years, and to put it mildly, I am afraid that the prince of the Zheng family in Thang Long may not be able to do so at a glance about his own territory.

Thang Long is located on the northwest corner of the Red River Delta on the map, on the right bank of the Red River and at the confluence of the Red River and the Suli River, not far from the ocean, where the flag of the right flank of the Southern Central Naval Division has been marked. Zuo Tianpeng's 10 gunboats had already gone north on 25 August, cruising in this area, and blockading this sea area.

"My lord, I think that land and wealth are the same thing, but population is what the lord urgently needs!" Wang Bao, who was sitting on his right hand, was the first to stand up and speak.

"There is no shortage of land in the territory of our Nanzhong Army today, what is lacking is only the people who can cultivate and plant these lands, according to the words of the lord, that is, labor. As for the wealth in Thang Long City, in the past few years, under the command of the lord, the north and the south have also seen some of the world, and the wealth in Thang Long City may not be much more than that in Champang, Zhenla, etc.! Therefore, the purpose of this battle, to mark the humble opinion, is not to occupy the land, not to occupy the wealth in Thang Long City, we, as long as the population! ”

When Shouhan heard Wang Bao's speech, his eyes were very approving, and he nodded, "Ah Bao has not only recovered his body in the past few months, but also read some books. That's right! Books must be read, but they are not for the sake of reciting poems, playing some word games, and moaning without illness. It is necessary to find out the truth of governing the country and leveling the world! ”

"However, Po only said superficially, in my opinion, in fact, the population is secondary! We, the main purpose of the war, is for this! ”

Speaking of which, the civil and military officials present, including the high-level leaders of the Craftsman Association, were all moved, what else is the Lord Nian on the territory of the Zheng family, and he must seize it quickly?! With the current wealth of Hejing, the accumulation of the treasury, what other products can be placed in the eyes of the lord?

Everyone was amazed when they watched as Shouhan took out something wrapped in a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully spread it on the table!

That's a piece of coal!

Coal?!

"This! This one? Some of the people present couldn't help but be amazed.

"Weird, isn't it?!" Shouhan wiped the coal ash on his hands with a hot towel sent by his own soldiers, "This is coal from the Zheng family's Guang'an, Haining and other coalfields, this area, hundreds of miles in length and breadth are coal, the coal produced has high calorific value, low ash content, no smoke, and high quality!" Have you ever thought that it is this little black bump, where does the steel needed for guns, weapons, armor, and farm tools come from? Even in the watery and dry fields, most of the fertilizers applied are derivatives of this thing. ”

The head of the workshop, the director of the metallurgical workshop, Ling Zhenghu, stood up, "But that's the case! It is no wonder that the lord has repeatedly asked us to have at least half a year of coal storage, just for today! ”

"It's not just that we have to fight today, you can think about it, not only steelmaking, fertilizer, cement, bricks, ceramics, glass, printing and dyeing, which industry that makes everyone make money and make money is inseparable from this thing? It's that your family is now boiling water for cooking, and it's no longer firewood, right?! ”

Speaking of which, everyone present was full of light, ah! This thing has entered all areas of the national economy and people's livelihood in the territory of the South China Army, even if there is no Zheng family plot to kill the incident, the lord of his own family will not put this important lifeline in the hands of others, once one day the Zheng family and the South China Army turn their faces and cut off the supply of coal, this fun will be great.

Therefore, the matter of the Zheng family's killing of the monarch and seizing the throne is just a high-sounding excuse, if there is no matter of the coalfield that makes the lord feel that he is too upside down to give people a handle, and it is difficult to sleep and eat every day, he will not care about the of you killing the monarch or not killing the king, which of you should be the crazy emperor of your own family, and take care of my bird business?!

However, as the saying goes, the puppet is not guilty of his crimes, who let you have the strategic materials I urgently need on your territory?! If I don't hit you, which one will I fight?!

"I want to serve the Lord!"

The adults present stood up and sang in unison.

Shouhan nodded with satisfaction, and then shook his head, "It's not for me, it's for my Ming, the Li family is the official envoy of Annan Commander of my Ming Dynasty, and we sent troops to rebel this time to maintain law and order." In order to achieve this goal, Li Peilin, you will contact the Mo family in Gaoping and ask them to send troops south to harass the Zheng family. ”

Everyone secretly rejoiced in their hearts, where is this to maintain law and order! This is for our own money bags! But the lord is the lord, no matter how undisciplined things are, they can find a fair and honest reason to come out.

Soon, the huge and efficient war plane of the General's Mansion was running rapidly.

Zheng Zhu sat in the pavilion a little depressed, watching the people of the Law Enforcement Department happily pull up more than 40 hidden piles of all sizes that he had worked hard to develop in Hejing in the past few years, and then Bao Zhongchen of the Law Enforcement Department sent someone to send a greeting post, on which were written in ink with a few big characters, "It's not that you don't catch it, the time has not come." When the time comes, Lao Tzu will boil in a pot! ”

With the servants, out of the pavilion, the law enforcement team sent by the law enforcement department outside the door did not stop them, but a few people followed not far away, claiming to be ordered by the boss to protect the safety of the messenger.

"Alas! Unexpectedly, Li Shouhan, who has killed countless people, also has the style of an ancient gentleman in the Spring and Autumn Period. Zheng Jian shook his head, not knowing whether he was helpless or approving.

Walking down the street, towards the commercial port, the market did not seem to be affected by the news of the war. The shops were still doing business as usual, and they were still in full swing, and the local porters were still shouting in a low voice, carrying a large number of goods to be sent everywhere.

The sound of rumbling wheels crushing the ash road, and someone shouting in the distance: "Driver, driver!" Let's Jean! ”

With the sound from far to near, a long convoy appeared in people's sight, the car was full of grain bags stacked high on the car, the driver of the car shook the whip very vigorously, the wooden wheels rattled and crushed the past, and a small flag on the wheel of the grain cart was clearly written, the Northern Expedition military rations.

"That's a lot of food!" A passerby lamented in the crowd. The long convoy has passed hundreds of vehicles, and there is still no end to it, and the sound of wheels is still rumbling in the distance.

"How much grain? Sue you, a bag of rice, about a hundred catties, on this car, about fifteen or sixteen bags, that is, in our Nanzhong, there are people chosen by the gods like the lord, how many whimsical and ingenious things, the car is equipped with steel springs and pressure reducing plates, otherwise, this car would not have transported so much food! If you count, there are probably more than 200 cars past, which is hundreds of thousands of catties of grain! ”

"Where did all this food come from?"

"Don't know, right? Tell you that this is rice that is transported from the treasury and transported directly to the northern front, and then the rice purchased from all over the country is replenished to the treasury. ”

"This? Hundreds of miles and 100 catties are hung one, such a toss, the loss on the road, the food of migrant workers, such a toss, how much does the food cost? ! ”

"Whew! Look at you and you're new! Sue sù you ,......"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Hearing the discussion of passers-by, Zheng Zhu's heart was shocked.

He was already a little surprised when the big cars passed in front of him, the axles were shining, radiating the brilliance of metal, and it was obvious that they were axles made of all steel, and the rumbling wheels were also covered with a layer of steel on the wooden wheels, and then a number of rivets were added to the steel. "Such a car, only a thief like the Li family who spares no expense can be so extravagant and use the best nine-turn steel to build a vehicle! Such a vehicle, carrying more than 1,000 catties of grain, seems to be very easy, I don't know if it is fully loaded, will it reach 2,000 catties? ”

Zheng Zhu was also in charge of the affairs of the household department in the Zheng family, and he knew well the various shortcomings and doorways in the process of transporting military grain and baggage, what was floating, loss, loss, and rations for migrant workers, usually 100 catties of grain were transported to the front line, and in the hands of the grain station, it would be good to be able to leave 10 catties.

"My lord, you see, this batch of vehicles is from Jiangnan." One whispered to Zheng Cane.

Seeing the flags planted on the grain truck, Zheng Zhu's eyes suddenly darkened, his chest was stuffy for a while, and there was some sweetness in his throat, he knew that the situation was not good.

"Back! Back to the museum! ”

After walking a few steps, Zheng Zhu couldn't hold on any longer, "Wow! A mouthful of blood stained the placket of his chest red. Several servants hurriedly picked him up and hurried back to the pavilion to rest, and asked Lang Zhong to come and treat him.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency?" From people wondering why their masters became so?

"Self-defeating! Zheng Zhu thought he was smart and could use such a method to exhaust Qin, but as a result, just like Zheng Guo back then, it became a method to strengthen Qin! ”

When Zheng Zhu first arrived in Ha Tinh that day, it coincided with the pacification of the Ruan family by Shouhan, and in order to consume the military potential of Nanzhong, he consumed the steel, money and grain in the hands of Shouhan, but now it has become a major artery connecting the north and the south, so that the materials from the south can be transported to Ha Tinh almost effortlessly.

At present, the grain producing area, from the southernmost tip of the firewood stick in charge of the Tsuh Hoan Mountain, to Hue, to Nha Trang, to Ha Tinh, a road that can be three large cars in parallel has been formed, along the way to open the road and meet the water to build bridges, every forty miles or so there is a post station (highway service area?) that can be used for rest and sharpening? After walking thousands of miles, the biggest loss is only 20%.

If the grain from the south is loaded onto the ship by sea, the loss is negligible!

With such consumption, just by using money and food, the Nanzhong Army can consume itself!

What's more, the streets and alleys where the South Central Army's rebellious texts have been posted are everywhere. "The ambition of covering the world, reporting to the imperial court, and the people of An. However, the Li clan has not heard of the loss of the big festival, there is no loss of morality, the rebel Zheng clan deviated from the scriptures, despised the Ming law, stole the throne, took power above the court, and harmed the heaven and earth, all those who were different were sentenced to death, and the arrogance of arrogance made the people look at the road! People of insight have protected themselves, or hidden in the mountains and forests, or retired from old and sick people. This fang does not want to report the kindness of my great tomorrow, under the trust of the people of Anli, to raise the proud soldiers of the origin of Qinghua, to run rampant in the market, to take the forcible in front of the public, in the daytime, kill the good people in the downtown area, and at night, take the women in the city. Make the people miserable, and there is no way to sue! Now there are Shenglong people, officials begging soldiers in this general, Shouhan since Wanli 45 years in charge of Nanzhong, diligent government and love the people, repair defense, although there are elite soldiers, belong to good generals, but every day are sincere fear, can not bear to kill without permission, only think of serving the country, Shouhan and Li Shi are all Ming courtiers, belong to colleagues, private for children and daughters-in-law, Weng with Weng's son-in-law. Today, it is our responsibility to stabilize the world, to eliminate the rebels for the Ming Dynasty, to eliminate the thieves for Annan, and to hate the elderly. Therefore, the army is here, and we sincerely invite heroes from all walks of life to hunt in Thang Long. ”

To be honest, this article against the rebellion is not well written, neither scolding the Zheng family for being a beast or anything like that, nor is there a writing that can cure headaches, it is basically in the vernacular. However, when Zheng Zhu first heard this article, it was a few factory workers who got off work on the side of the road who read it, although they stammered a little, but they read it coherently.

Is this worth it?!

Zheng Zhu then remembered that for many years, Shouhan had enforced the literacy of soldiers and craftsmen in the territory, which was called "literacy" here. This probably means that if you don't know how to read, you are blind, and literacy is to get rid of such blindness.

What was even more puzzling to everyone back then was that young children were forced to attend school, and if school-age children did not go to school, they would be demoted and fined; If you are in business, cancel the dental stick; Those who work will have their wages reduced, and those who farm will be expelled from the fields. In this way, whose children dare not go to school?

This is also one of the three axes implemented by Shouhan in the new area, where young children are forced to study, ten days are beautiful, and roads are built. It has become an invincible means in the new area.

Although the shortage of teachers has always been one of the problems that plagued the Shouhan, after many years of gritted teeth and persevered, more than 1,100 schools were built in the vast area from firewood sticks in the south, Rongshi in the north, the sea in the east, and Zhongliao in the west.

"Grain and grass are abundant, weapons are sharp, and the soldiers are all literate people, that is, the corn grass that was originally thought to be used for ornamentation, is the best forage for cattle and horses. Our army was victimized by the false news that I misreported, and attacked Laos with all its might, and Thang Long City was only an empty city! In addition, the Mo family in the north is a mortal enemy with my Zheng family, how can they not take advantage of such an opportunity? Fight against my Zheng family? We are afraid that if we have not fought such a battle, we have already lost! ”

Leaning on the head of the bed, Zheng Zhu drank the medicine one by one, and while drinking, he talked about his plans with his heart.

"Take a pen and paper, I want to give the general a seal, my Zheng family is willing to join the Southern Chinese Army, willing to follow the example of Siam, pay the seal, pay compensation and cede the land, and even offer the princess as the general's concubine, I just ask the general to retain the status of my Zheng family."

"My lord! This doesn't seem to be what we courtiers should say. The henchman reminded Zheng Zhu in a low voice.

"I can't take care of it, as long as I can save my Zheng family, it will be a difficult clause, and a certain family will agree!"

The transmission of the table seal to the Guò Rite Room was sent to Shouhan, and within a few days, a message came, "There is no need to ask for peace!" This time, together with the Li family and the Mo family, our Southern Chinese Army must eradicate this fang for Annan! ”

Hearing this, Zheng Zhu was speechless for a long time, and he bowed to An Tianhong deeply, "My lord, please transfer it to the general on your behalf, and say that the foreign minister implores the general to be benevolent outside the law, spare my Zheng family, and my Zheng family is willing to be a lackey under the general." ”

An Tianhong looked at Zheng Zhu with pity, "Brother Zheng, you and I have dealt with each other for many years, and the personal relationship is also good, the general has something for me to bring to you, and he also admires my brother very much, my position as the prefect of the Nanzhong Army in Jinou is vacant." ”

"General Meng was wrongly loved, but, that day, the general had good means, a large number of military horses, money, food and weapons were transferred to the west, and he mistakenly thought that he was going to go west to conquer Laos and fight for the territory of Laos with my family, so that the false news was mistakenly transmitted, so that the elite of our army was in Laos to attack the city and pull out the village, and my lord was in a disadvantageous position, and what kind of face did he have to take up the high-ranking officials given by the general?"

An Tianhong listened, speechless for a long time, who is the family without loyal ministers?

"Alright! Lord Zheng, I will go and ask my lord again today to ask him what he means. However, for the sake of you and I who have known each other for many years, I will fight today to disobey military discipline and tell you the whereabouts of those money, food, and weapons transferred to the west. ”

"I want to hear about it!"

"It is true that the materials are transferred to the west, but it is not for the sake of fighting Laos, but to turn these grain and grass weapons to the west and then to the south, from Nha Trang to the north to Guangxi, and handed over to the Mo family in the Gaoping and Lao Cai areas, at this moment, I am afraid that the soldiers of the Mo family are using my Nanzhong military equipment to capture the city of your lord!"
