[1039 Very smooth Lord Wei]

Perhaps, the Han people say that the benevolent are invincible, which makes sense. You didn't think about killing, but you killed even more. "But if you switch your position to that of my father Khan, I don't think you can do better than my father Khan." ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, and said to Cong Gulengege: "Don't go back early, I'll take you to play mahjong." ”

Cong Gulenge smiled bitterly, "It's boring, no matter how much I win, I can't win 10,000 taels, let alone 28 million taels of silver!" ”

"Don't think about it all the time, take it easy. Things work themselves out. Wei Bao didn't know how to enlighten this little girl who had been frustrated many times recently.

Wei Bao took Cong Gulen Gege back to the city, and when he arrived at the city gate, he met Madman Tan with a group of staff officers.

Wei Baorang stopped the carriage and asked strangely, "Are you greeting me on purpose?" What's the matter? ”

Because Wei Bao just came out for a walk, these senior officers didn't have to engage in this kind of politeness at all, so Wei Bao asked like this.

"It's not a special trip to wait for the president." Madman Tan said, glanced at the carriage, and asked, "President, is it convenient to talk about military intelligence?" ”

Wei Bao knew what Madman Tan meant, and knew that Madman Tan knew that Cong Gulenge was in the carriage, so he would ask this.

When Cong Gulen Gege heard this, he became vigilant.

"Say, Gege is not an outsider, I don't have to hide anything from her." Wei Bao said indifferently.

"Yes, I am waiting for the cavalry regiment, and the cavalry regiment has been contacted, and they are rushing to Ningyuan City, passing through Ningyuan City, and then catching up with the cavalry brigade temporarily formed by the President's Guard and the Teaching Team." Madman Tan said: "I'll wait here so that I can explain the battle strategy to the commander of the cavalry regiment." ”

"Wei Bao, didn't you say that you would make peace with my father Khan and stop fighting? How can so many cavalry still catch up? Cong Gulen Gege was anxious when he heard this, thinking that Wei Bao had been lying to himself before.

"You think too much, they chase after you to harvest your remnants, not to kill your father." Wei Bao said: "From here to Yizhou City, it takes three days to speed up the horse, plus this kind of cold weather, the snow is so deep, it is not bad to be able to run in four days." It's been a day now, and by the time the cavalry regiment catches up, your father must have entered the city of Uiju. The remnants who are now following your father must be the most elite cavalry of Houjin, and they will definitely be able to protect your father when he returns to Yiju City. Killing more of your elite is just a matter of making your dad more aware of the situation and having fewer chips. Do you understand? ”

"You are really desperate, do you think that if the pursuers can arrest and kill my father Khan and my brothers, they will all be killed, and you will be even more satisfied." Cong Gulen Gege airway.

"I really didn't think so, and if I did, why only send so many people? Wouldn't it be over if I sent tens of thousands of troops directly? Wei Bao smiled slightly.

Wei Bao has repeatedly said that tens of thousands of troops are actually just trying to be happy and bluffing.

The logistics system and logistics support level of the Baojun are completely different from those of Jiannu, and it is impossible to dare to go anywhere with a few days of dry food like Jiannu.

Nurhachi was in a hurry to attack Ningyuan City, in fact, because there was not much food and grass, and he couldn't afford to consume it at all, and Jiannu was used to quick battles wherever he went, and there was almost no tactical space.

As far as logistics support is concerned, if Jiannu wants to win the treasure army, it will never be possible.

The Bao army does not have many soldiers and horses, and attaches great importance to logistical support, and wherever it goes to fight, it is ready to win, and it will definitely not rush into battle because of the problem of food and ammunition.

"I'm not waiting for tomorrow, I'm waiting here now, and I'll go to Yiju City with your cavalry regiment!" Cong Gulen Gege was worried.

Cong Gulen Gege didn't know how many people were in the previous group of Bao army cavalry who went to chase after Father Khan, and he didn't know how Father Khan was doing now, so he was very worried.

"No problem." Wei Bao agreed to Cong Gulengege's request, and turned to Madman Tan: "When the cavalry regiment catches up with the guards and the teaching team, let the people of the guard and teaching team come back." There are not so many people, and the guards and teaching teams are not professional equestrian troops, so it is useless to stay there. ”

"Yes, President." Madman Tan gave a standard military salute.

Wei Bao nodded, turned around and asked Cong Gulengege, "You just go back like this?" Don't you need to prepare something? ”

"I don't have to prepare anything, I'm not as delicate as a Han woman or a Korean woman, just give me a good horse." As he spoke, Tsung Gulen got out of the carriage.

Wei Bao looked at Cong Gulen Gege and smiled, and said to Madman Tan: "Tell them, be kind to Gege, Gege is going to find Nurhachi, and you can't stop it." ”

"Yes, President." Madman Tan agreed.

Wei Bao then took Princess Zhenming and returned to Ningyuan City in a carriage.

And soon after, the cavalry regiment of the treasure army arrived.

Most of the cavalry regiments of the Baojun army were Mongols, and a small number were local men who were good at riding horses in Liaodong.

The level of horseback riding is on par with Jiannu, plus learning to shoot, training together for more than a year, plus the leadership of the Heaven and Earth Society, has formed a very effective team.

At the beginning, the 5,000 members of the Baojun Cavalry Regiment might have a bit of a struggle to build slaves with hard steel on the front and 10,000 slaves on the front, but it was not a big problem to build slaves with hard steel on the front.

The current Baojun cavalry regiment, 20,000 Jiannu on the front is not a big problem, and in a desperate situation, it can even fight 30,000 Jiannu head-on.

It's possible for one to hit six.

Therefore, if it weren't for the fact that the Baojun cavalry regiment did not receive an order to intercept Liaodong, it might have been difficult for more than 60,000 Jiannu to enter.

The current treasure army can beat Jiannu in all aspects.

In fact, at this stage, history is already a bit biased towards the original track.

However, President Wei still did not want to affect the original historical process in the slightest, and was worried about causing an unnecessary butterfly effect.

Wei Bao knew that although he was a reborn giant, he was still very weak in front of this world.

For example, disease, don't say that the natural disaster of Xiaoice River is unstoppable, and can only be endured.

Just a random disease can paralyze the world.

The outbreak in Naples in 1495 terrified Europeans who had just recovered from the fury of the Black Death.

Covered in pustules from head to toe, the disease has spread to Central Europe in just one year, demonstrating its high contagion and reflecting the behavior of the military.

In 1495, the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I lamented that this unprecedented disease must be God's rebuke for blasphemous.

Borders cannot stop plagues, and diseases cannot escape evolution.

After only half a century of circulation, by 1546, the characteristics of a three-stage onset had evolved: 3 days to 3 months after the first sexual contact infection, the contact site appeared a hard bottom, clear edges, painless and itchy but slow healing ulcers, after a period of time will heal on their own, and then after 4 to 10 weeks to develop into a second stage.

Symptoms are varied, but a symmetrical, non-itchy pink rash usually appears on the trunk and extremities, which then evolves into a maculopapular rash and ulcers.

Among them, there is a unique type of macules, the center heals and spreads around, forming a plum blossom shape, so the Chinese call this disease.

Whitish wart-like lesions can also form on the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat, which are highly contagious when contacted.

Patients may also experience weakness, weight loss, hair loss, and body aches.

However, all symptoms disappear within two months, after which there is an incubation period of 3 to 15 years, up to 46 years.

The incubation period is followed by a devastating third stage, with three types: disfigured gum-like tumors on the skin and organs of the body; Patients with neurotoxic drugs can have epilepsy, paralysis and even dementia; Cardiovascular toxicity can lead to aoritis, aneurysm, valve regurgitation, and death due to heart failure.

For epidemiology, such an evolution is very favorable for infectious diseases.

Rapidly fatal infectious diseases can lose a large number of hosts in a short period of time and lose the opportunity to spread; Infectious diseases with long incubation periods or mild symptoms have enough time and opportunity to spread to the next host.

What is even more toxic is that the skin ulcers and mucosal flat warts that appear many times during the course of the disease are not painful, so that the host continues to be in contact, which greatly increases the infection rate.

At the same time, the transmission status of the virus gives it another shelter in addition to the slow onset of the disease, that is, people are reluctant to expose the affected area and even ashamed to talk about it, which makes the disease more hidden.

Because of the influence of the concept at that time, people tend to think that those who are poisoned deserve retribution and should not be treated at all.

There is no decent treatment either.

The Disease of Madness and Genius In the late medieval society, where disease was not controlled, the contagious virus spread quickly.

When people realized that poison was a disease transmitter, people became conservative about sex again.

Although many Europeans expect to be cured of poison by Yu Chuangmu, Yu Chuangmu grows slowly and is not very effective.

Europeans have not found a better herbal remedy, and China's Compendium of Materia Medica, although it records the epidemic of poisoning, has also failed to find a cure.

But Chinese and Europeans have invariably turned their attention to the usual drugs of alchemy: mercury and arsenic.

With a high-temperature steam bath, mercury was used to clean the ulcerated wounds of toxic patients, and a certain amount of mercury preparations were taken for the patients to take orally, and the effect was really good, and the pain was indeed relieved.

However, it is to lure the tiger to drive the wolf, even if it does not die from poison, it must die from the poison of mercury to the nervous system.

The only benefit is that the flesh that has been riddled with holes during life is not easy to decay after death, because mercury has a strong antiseptic effect.

In the 19th century, potassium iodide was found to be effective, but the side effects were not much less than those of mercury, and iodine poisoning could also destroy systemic metabolism.

In addition, in addition to relieving the pain, the large-scale disfigurement caused by the poison should not be underestimated.

After an incubation period of several years, most patients will eventually develop oncotoxin, which means that many gum-like tumors of various sizes will also appear on the head and face, and then the bones will collapse and cause facial deformation.

These changes in appearance make the effect of "heaven's damnation" clear at a glance, and also make the patient socially outcast.

In the course of history, taking Britain as an example, from the famous sheep eating people, the Poor Law, to the female and child laborers during the Industrial Revolution, there are indeed many common people suffering in it.

History is inherently multi-dimensional, and what seems evil to ordinary people is not impossible, but it has promoted the development of history.

Traditionally, the English Civil War or the Glorious Revolution has been the turning point, with the emphasis on parliamentary rule or the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.

This has been debated in the field of historiography, and the reason is very simple: it is really difficult to quantify and establish a direct causal relationship to the extent to which the New Deal played a role in Britain's prosperity.

For example, the direct factor of the UK's financial explosion is the establishment of the Bank of England, and it is much easier to study peace and stability as an independent variable.

Especially when writing about the unexpected chaos of the Mughal Empire and its significant impact on Britain.

After the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the Mughal Empire became the most populous country in the world, and until 1700, Britain was perhaps an inconspicuous country compared to India.

The British had handicraft workshops, and the Mughals had them, and the Mughal handicraft industry was in some ways ahead of the British at that time.

Before the Glorious Revolution, the British handicraft industry was mainly composed of the following parts, the first was the wool textile industry, followed by the mining industry, including coal, lead, tin, etc., and the iron industry.

The cotton textile industry was not included, the obvious reason being the lack of cotton in Britain and much of the world.

At the same time, the Mughal Empire had developed a considerable cotton textile handicraft industry, especially in the area of Dhaka, the largest city in Bangladesh, and the iron-making and shipbuilding industries were also developing.

Obviously, Mughal cotton textiles were quite competitive, not only monopolizing trade in the Indian Ocean at the time, but also exported to the Atlantic and Africa, and Bengali textiles alone accounted for more than half of the textiles imported by Dutch merchants in Asia.

This situation was obviously quite unfavorable to the interests of the British textile industry and the East India Company, so the British thought of changing the status quo by force early on.

In the 1680s, the Childe War broke out, and as a result, the powerful Mughal army and navy besieged Bombay, forcing the company to sue for peace in humiliation and send emissaries to Aurangzeb to plead for his guilt.

Aurangzeb never expected that a small company would dare to challenge the Mughal emperor, and what he didn't expect was that in the next few decades, the balance of power between Britain and India would be completely reversed, and his descendants would be stabbed around the neck by the British.

At this time, the first dramatic event that the British did not expect, but which may have changed the whole of history, had already occurred: in the 1660s, when the British began to get down to business, Aurangzeb undermined Akbar's principle of religious tolerance and imposed heavy taxes on Hindus.

In 1665 the tariffs of Hindu merchants were increased; In 1669, an edict was issued to destroy Hindu temples and schools; and built a new mosque on the site, and in 1679 a poll tax was imposed on Hindus; In 1695, Hindus were forbidden to ride horses, elephants, etc.

In 1675, the Sikh leader Deg **** was executed for inciting riots, which was met with repeated resistance from the Sikhs.

He also reinstated the poll tax for non-*** believers, and among other taxes, Hindus paid twice as much as ***.

As a Hindu country under the rule of a religious monarch, this move cannot be explained by a momentary brain pump, and in the long run, it is also to strengthen the centralization of power and realize the great cause of bottomless pit unification of South Asia.

It can even be said that the intention was not bad, but the overturned and excessively rapid and radical reforms obviously made most Hindu and Sikh princes and Kshatriyas unable to endure it any longer, and instead ignited the flames of the all-India uprising.

From 1667 to 1675, Pashtuns revolted on the border between India and Afghanistan; the 1672 peasant revolt of the Hindu satnami sect; In 1679, Hindus in Delhi gathered at the Grand Mosque to protest.

Aurangzeb particularly troubled his later years was the Maratha uprising led by Sivaji, who established their own base and continued to attack the Mughal Empire, becoming a fierce rival of the Mughal Empire.

The Mughal version of the Great Curse began to erupt gradually, eventually becoming unstoppable.

In 1707 Aurangzeb died in internal and external distress, leaving behind a big mess.

Because the Mughal system demanded too much from the monarch's personal ability, the subsequent Mughal emperors were gradually overshadowed by local governors and princes, and the situation worsened.

Britain and France took the opportunity to expand their influence in the rich Carnatic region of southern India, and constantly clashed with the governor of Akot, namely the Kanatik War, in which the Mughal side killed 2 governors and 2 princes of Hyderabad, and the losses were quite heavy.

Fighting on multiple fronts with the British and French, Marathas, and Persians hastened the collapse of the empire.

In June 1757, the British received another gift from heaven, and just as the Maratha army was advancing into Delhi, on the battlefield of Plassey, the cavalry general Mir Jafar, who had always been dissatisfied with the governor of Bengal, suddenly led tens of thousands of troops on the left flank to defect and let the British army into Bengal.

There are many opinions about the most decisive event of the British conquest of India, but the impact of this event is at least irreversible.

In India proper, Britain and even France already had a considerable number of colonial strongholds.

However, the Battle of Bengal marked the transformation of British power from a point to a surface, basically gaining a firm foothold, and gaining an almost unlimited source of Indian troops.

From then on, the ground forces of the East India Company expanded rapidly.

1749: 3,000.

1763: 26,000.

1778: 67,000 men, more than the number of the British Army in peacetime.

1817: at least 120,000.

Coincidentally, in the 1760s and 1780s, the cotton textile industry in Britain was booming.

For example, Manchester, which was originally a market town, quickly developed into a centre for cotton textile handicrafts, as cotton imported from overseas was largely imported from Liverpool.

The birth of inventions such as the Jenny spinning machine greatly promoted the process of the Industrial Revolution.

The main sources of British cotton imports were the southern thirteen states and India, and it was in the 18th century that the two British colonies developed greatly.

After the direct occupation of Bangladesh, Britain's reliable sources of cotton should have increased significantly.

At the same time, the end of the Indian cotton textile industry also came, after being directly ruled by the East India Company, the British government in order to promote the development of the local textile industry, imposed high tariffs or embargoes on Indian textiles, Indian cotton textile factories were overwhelmed and closed down, and manpower returned to agriculture and cotton planting.

Since then, India's population has grown rapidly, but it has become increasingly impoverished.

This is not to say that if there were no two things, the industrial revolution would have occurred in India, first of all, the development of the steel and coal industries was due to Britain itself.

The stability of British historiography is overwhelming, and one of the main sources of confidence is estimated to be the economic explosion caused by the general mobilization of the French Revolutionary Army.

Secondly, in terms of science and technology, military and especially naval technology, Britain before 1700 was indeed ahead of India, but it cannot be said that it had an overwhelming advantage.

If the Indians were to send a fleet to harass or occupy the Atlantic coast in the event of a conflict with Aurangzeb, it could be said that the two sides were still on the same level.

When the superiority of science and technology was combined with the manpower of Bengal, the balance of victory began to inevitably tip greatly in favor of the British, and although France and the Netherlands allied with Marata Mysore and other countries to help them westernize their armies in order to prevent Britain from gaining power, the spirit of pioneering and innovation alone was no longer enough to save the day.

However, the impact of unforeseen events such as turmoil on the course of history, and tax hikes are often the trigger.

From this point of view, Britain's luck in the American Revolutionary War was quite bad, after all, they couldn't get all the good things.

American historical materials don't mention much about "the British king expropriated violently, and the people rose up to resist for freedom".

The root cause of the dissatisfaction of the thirteen states is not that they have raised taxes too much, but that the British Parliament has come to the local minority to obey the majority without the permission and vote of the thirteen state parliaments, and directly decided to raise taxes, which has deprived the thirteen state legislators of their local representation.

The Thirteen States were too intolerable relative to the British mainland, and this once again rewrote history.

So, it's hard to imagine what will happen after changing history.

All Wei Bao could use was a small amount of information on the Zhenyuan ship he brought, as well as a few historical antiques from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The dividends that can be used have basically been used, and there are some drugs that are about to expire, all of which are used for research and development, which does not have much practical significance.

In addition, things such as glass and lighters, which are beyond this era, are just exchanged for luxury goods and are not of much use.

The most useful thing is the understanding that Wei Baochao has appeared in this era for nearly four hundred years.

But this is not very useful, because President Wei was originally an ordinary person in modern times, the scum at the bottom of society, and he didn't know much about history and reality.

Therefore, every step Wei Bao takes is to cross the river by feeling the stones, and he is careful, and he can keep everything now, Wei Bao is already very satisfied, and he will not be greedy to change anything.

Wei Bao is more afraid of losing than gaining.

And after running to this era, Wei Bao has been living quite smoothly, except for the first year of the start, there were a few twists and turns, and in the second year, it was basically smooth sailing, especially after approaching Zhu Youxiao and gaining the emperor's appreciation, Lord Wei's life was even smoother.
