Chapter 54: The Cabinet's Scheme
As soon as Wu Jiu's carriage stopped, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, but the coachman was startled.
When the farmers saw the chief kneeling on the edge of the field and caressing the young seedlings, there was no trace of surprise on their faces.
"Haha, okay, God help my Han army, my Han army is destined to return."
Seeing the chief bowing down, everyone also knelt and bowed together.
"Thank God for his life, and thank the military master."
One after another, the commanders and stewards came over, looking at the green sea, and everyone couldn't believe it.
"My lord, it's all true." Lin Guozhong's mind was in chaos, could this really be destiny.
Chen Xiong smiled and nodded, he knew that these people would make such a fuss.
"Okay, don't look at it, all go to plant seedlings, and return to Lingnan after harvesting in less than ten days."
Ten days of harvest ~ no one doubts this time.
"Obey your lordship."
"Obey the command."
Subsequently, in addition to the Han soldiers, all the people and children of the headquarters entered the fields excitedly.
The movement outside the city also made Dengzhou people can't help but go out of the city to watch.
"Hey, why are they still farming?"
"This, you see, how is it possible~"
The news spread slowly, and Dengzhou became a sensation again. Every day, representatives of villages from all over the country came to investigate, and the more people in Dengzhou looked, the more surprised they became, and more and more people immediately brought their families to join the Han army.
The people take food as the sky, and the winter farming is also a long day; Hundreds of thousands of acres of grain fields not only completely condensed the belief of the Han army headquarters, but also hooked the hearts of Dengzhou farmers.
Daming Jingshi~
The capital of the Ming Dynasty is located in the north of the river, and Zhen'an defends the frontier in the northern Central Plains. The solemn city that once bowed down to all nations also looked as decadent as the Zhu dynasty.
The heavy and vast Daming Palace is still brilliant, but the decoration inside is old.
"Holy Lord, this is Dengzhou Secret News."
A secret report woke up Chongzhen, who was checking the official documents.
The 33-year-old emperor, who has reigned for more than ten years, is like a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a thin face, gray temples, and a tough look in his eyes.
"It's Cheng'en."
After receiving the secret report, Chongzhen also took out two other official documents to look at.
"It seems that this Dengzhou is really lost!"
Henan lost Guanzhong and lost it, and now even Shandong has anti-thieves.
"Cheng'en will let the cabinet ministers take matters into account."
"Yes."
The Cabinet University Hall was not far from Chongzhen's main hall, and soon the three pavilion elders came steadily.
After Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, was deposed again in May, the position of first assistant was vacant.
Now the three ministers are: Chen Yan, deputy assistant to the cabinet, and Jiang Dejing.
Cabinet Fellow: Wei Yude.
"Holy."
Chongzhen nodded solemnly, and after the three pavilion elders sat down, he asked: "Can the cabinet of Chen Cifu Dengzhou have a conclusion, is it appeased or pacified?" ”
Chen Yan said with a bitter face: "Saint, it is reported that this so-called Han army is going to Lingnan, but if Zhao'an can't be appeased, he will order all localities to be strictly guarded and trap them in Dengzhou." ”
Zhu Youzhen showed a hint of a smile: "Okay, it's exactly what I want, and I ordered the general guards of the prefects in various places to trap the Han army." ”
Although the Han army was small in number, their strategy of returning from the south to the north was extremely terrifying. Lingnan is safe and stable, but the Lingnan Han wolf soldiers and the people are all heroes in the world. It is difficult for outsiders to recruit xenophobic wolf soldiers, and even local generals can only recruit wolf soldiers from their own counties and townships. But the commander of the Han army, Chen Xiong, is indeed the most ambitious Lingnan Han people, if he is allowed to integrate more than 8 million Han people in the two provinces of Lingnan, and hundreds of thousands of wolf soldiers go out of the mountains, it will be the real end of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has been orthodox for hundreds of years, even if Emperor Zhu in the north is defeated, there is still the Nanjing court that can command the world.
"The saint estimates that it will be difficult to appease, this Lingnan Han people who are born in wolf soldiers have always been stubborn and irritable. The master of the Han army must return to Lingnan with the order, and blocking him must be endless, and it should be exterminated as soon as possible. Jiang Dejing, who was born in Jiangnan, said categorically that if the Han army was allowed to go to Jiangnan, his hometown might not be safe.
Chongzhen thought about the gains and losses, and he also wanted to exterminate them, but he couldn't even get the silver food for the troops.
Seeing that the emperor hesitated, Wei Yude of the Donglin Party was also anxious: "Shengshang, the Han army lord is ambitious, recruiting troops and buying horses in Dengzhou, buying people's hearts and minds, and his combat effectiveness is also very strong. This is the second king, if the Han army is really allowed to return to Lingnan, I am afraid that there will be no resistance south of the Yangtze River. ”
Chongzhen frowned and finally spoke: "Then order the generals of the Shandong General Army to destroy the Han army together as soon as possible, and allow all armies to make a sound on the spot." ”
Chen Yan frowned, and said on the spot that this is to completely liberalize the authority of military leaders in various places, and it is even more harmful to the people. But now he couldn't do better!
The Han army is just a big and small matter, and the Chuang army and the Manchu Qing are what Chongzhen is more worried about.
Dengzhou capital.
The seedlings were all planted in two days, and many people in the Han army headquarters were also idle.
"Chief, how many stonemasons and blacksmiths are there in the headquarters now?"
"My lord, there are only two hundred masons and five hundred blacksmiths, and two thousand carpenters can already spare time. By the way, there are also firearms households, and there are only 20 households left, but their skills are not proficient. ”
Artisans are strategic resources, and Chen Xiong will not let them choose to stay freely, these people must serve the Han army before he has a large number of craftsmen.
"The firearms owners first let them repair the firecrackers, and the carpenters continue to make wooden figures, but the workmanship should be as good as possible, and the materials should be more delicate."
The Scarecrow only needs to have a rough idea to turn into a Grass Soldier normally, but the material technology of the Wooden Man is related to the flexibility and defense of the Wood Man. Chen Xiong felt that if he simulated 100% of the flesh, organs, blood vessels, etc., the grass and wood soldiers would be able to evolve completely in less than a month. Of course, this is not the afterlife, and he is also powerless.
"It's the lord." Wu Jiu couldn't help but wonder, he really didn't want to ask about this wooden man again.
"And let the stonemasons make fine stone figures with all their might, you try to draw as much manpower as possible, and the more before leaving, the better. Okay, let's do it first. ”
"It's the lord." Wu Jiu nodded and left, how can he be a stone man again!
After the chief left, the little princess next to her asked suspiciously: "Xianggong, why do you want so many wooden and stone people?" ”
Chen Xiong smiled, not knowing whether to tell them or not.
"Husband, is there something to hide from us?" Little Aimin, who jumped on the uncle's chest, looked at her husband dissatisfied.
Full of gentle and light fragrance charming, Chen Xiongzhen couldn't help but rectify the Fa on the spot, but! Lori is beautiful and cute, but Lori's age is a hard injury, and it must be cultivated slowly. Fortunately, it is not an afterlife, and there is no need to worry about the duck that can fly on its own.
"Okay, Min'er Xinna, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly when I go back to the house."
As soon as the three of them returned to the room, Xiao Aimin immediately closed the doors and windows, and then whispered: "Husband, say quickly, you said that you will not hide anything from us." ”
Seeing the expectations on the faces of the two girls, the uncle also pondered how to explain it.
"Hey! In fact, General Ben had already died in battle that year, and then he came back to life for some reason. Later, I met an old Taoist priest who taught me a secret trick. ”
Chen Xiong was silent and began to ponder again.
The little princess was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "Okay, there is no need to say it, if you lose the secret, it will be chaotic, we probably know." ”
The smart little princess faintly felt that the grass and wood soldiers of the Han First Army seemed to be related to this secret method, which was the secret of life and death, and she was also afraid of being known by outsiders.
Xiao Aimin shook her head in disappointment: "Hmph, say something boring, I thought you had something to hide from us." ”
"Hehe, Min'er, how could I hide it from you." At the end of the point, Chen Xiong didn't want to say it, after all, the resurrection of the grass and wood soldiers was really scary. As for other people's doubts, let others make up their brains, anyway, he Chen Xiong will not bear anyone in the late Ming Dynasty in 1963.
