Chapter 805: Falling short
There were robbers in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and the road was not very peaceful.
With the "Red Banner Army" system of river and sea combined transport, now the ministers of the imperial court have long gone to Sichuan without taking the land route, and it is the safest and fastest way to go up the river by sea.
Fu Zonglong is not a mediocre talent who "has nothing to do and talks about his heart, and repays the king when he dies", he has been an official in Yunguichuan for many years, and has participated in and led the pacification of the Tusi rebellion many times.
Yang Sichang recommended this person to patrol Sichuan, it should be the right person, Fu Zonglong is familiar with mountain warfare, and has also adopted a combination of garrison, attack, and siege to quell the alien rebellion in Yungui.
It's just that when he came to the plains to command the large corps to fight, Fu Zonglong was afraid that he would not be able to do it, and in history, he was surrounded by rogues in Henan and could not get out of trouble and was captured.
Fu Zonglong, a native of Kunming, Yunnan, was an iron-clad man, and after being captured, he scolded Li Zicheng and other rogues for being abused and died.
He didn't come to Beijing for a long time, and he didn't take a passenger carriage to gallop on the road from Beijing to Tianjin.
What he saw and heard along the way amazed him, and he saw that the people and merchants along the way were thoughtful about the general who had been captured.
When he came to Tianjin Wei, he saw the prosperity and cleanliness here, which made Fu Zonglong even more breathtaking, and when he got on the luxurious ocean liner, he already yearned for the newly born "Hanjiang Province".
Even if there is a river-sea combined transport, it is not easy to reach Sichuan, and it will take a month to have a smooth journey, and it is difficult to say how many days it will be delayed in case of bad weather, Fu Zonglong should be able to arrive at the end of the first month of next year or the beginning of February.
Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, has a big head, but the blessing is unequaled and the disaster is not a single line, and Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng, Luo Rucai, and other thieves who have been dormant in the Dabie Mountains for several months are making trouble again.
However, the encirclement and suppression plan of "four squares and six corners, ten sides and a net" is not a dead letter, and the salary received by the imperial court will of course play a role.
Shaanxi's deployment fell short due to the variable of the Qing army's entry into the army, which made Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng prosperous.
Zhang Xianzhong did not have such a good life, and Zuo Liangyu, who was appointed by the general of the Ping Thief, was really beaten this time.
General military officers Mu Wenshou, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, deputy generals Huang Degong and Chen Yongfu, guerrilla general Luo Dai, etc., also accumulated a lot of money after receiving food and salary from the imperial court, and Zhang Xianzhong and his ilk were beaten like lost dogs.
Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces of the right vice-capital, was so sincere that he didn't care that Yang Sichang, who recommended him, had told him not to be soft on the Liukou, and actually sent people to negotiate and prepare to appease the Liukou when the Central Plains Liukou was seeing the collapse of the land.
really responded to that sentence, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates, Yang Sichang's painstaking management will come to naught in the hands of Xiong Wencan.
The battle of "Hanjiang Province" ended successfully, and the 13,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry were able to cut 9,000 feet to the first rank, captured 3,500 Tartars, and there were also 500 Jiannu who were insufficient, including more than a dozen Bayala.
Tartar and Jiannu should be killed, but in order to make the resistance of the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry weaker in the next war, Liu Zaiqi, Jiang Xin and Ruan Dacheng, who had just arrived for more than ten days, led the propaganda team members to carefully screen.
With Dayutou Yu Prince Duoduo, it is necessary for Jingshi to sacrifice prisoners, and he can't just send one Duoduo, but always find some Tartars and Jiannu to send them to the imperial court for punishment.
After seven or eight days of observation and conversation with hundreds of propaganda team members and suppression officials, the Tartars and Jiannu, who dared to resist, were killed.
In the end, Liu Zaiqi summoned all the Tartars and Jiannu to announce that more than 500 people who did not work honestly and accepted the transformation would be sent to the imperial court for disposal, and the final outcome would probably not be good, and it would be considered a light sentence to be beheaded in the city.
Hearing that he was going to die a good death, half of the more than 500 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry who resisted re-education through labor were instigated, kneeling on the ground and crying and begging for mercy, but unfortunately it was too late.
Liu Jaeqi not only announced that he would not spare a single person, but also threatened that the Tartars and Jiannu who had passed the screening would dare to resist and work for the "Red Banner Army", and that they would be sentenced to death in Pyongyang without being sent to Beijing.
Ruan Dacheng, who aspired to be an official, was the most active, and after receiving the official letter of appointment with the seal of the general of the levy and capture, he did not care whether the imperial court agreed to the appointment or not, and took his servants to Wangjiangmen Wharf on the same day to take a passenger ship directly to the port of Seoul, which is referred to as "Han Port".
On the second day after arriving in Seoul, he went to the general Xingyuan to ask for an audience with Huang Han, who gave Ruan Dacheng a grade from the fifth rank of civil service, and his position was to praise the painting at the headquarters of the propaganda team.
The "Red Banner Army" system does not have the theory of being a noble and a military inferior, and the treatment is the same, and the military attaché is 30 percent higher than the one during the combat mission.
Military attachés have many opportunities to gain military merits, and their promotions are easier, and they are even more popular in the "Han River Province" than civilian positions.
Who is Ruan Dacheng? It's very complicated, in the early days, he was a cadre of the Donglin Party, and in the later period, he was eunuchized, and his reputation in Chongzhen Dynasty Shilin was almost stinky, but in fact, this person was a talented villain.
His theatrical works became famous in the late Ming Dynasty, and there are still four works in the world: "Spring Lantern Riddle", "Swallow Notes", "Double Gold List" and "Mu Nihe".
Huang Han used his playwriting expertise to instruct him to choreograph several dramas in person, exposing the ferocity of Jiannu and Liukou in an entertaining way, and arousing the awakening of the people.
Scandalize the Jiannu, Tartars, and rogues and corrupt the discipline of the Ming army, expose the generals of the Ming army who killed the good and risked the merits to slaughter the common people, sang the praises of the "Red Banner Army", and hyped up the "Red Banner Army" to starve to death and not rob the common people.
Such an arrangement is really a professional counterpart, Ruan Dacheng was received by the general and ordered to meet in person, his enthusiasm for work was high, and he often went to the grassroots level to collect style.
When he participated in the screening of Tartars and Jiannu, Ruan Dacheng was observing the reactions of these people, and believed that it would not be long before the ugliness of begging for mercy appeared on the stage when the executioner learned that he was about to be cut by a thousand knives.
How to strengthen centralization? It is extremely important to hold a conference.
The standard equipment of the county seat of "Hanjiang Province" is not only the county office, the city god temple, and the county school, but also a theater that can accommodate 1,000 people.
The theater not only provided entertainment for the people, but also served as a place where government decrees were uploaded, and the prefectural government held various mobilization meetings here every month.
Whether it is a long ringing of the alarm bell or a cliché, it often organizes meetings of officials, government officials, security chiefs, first chiefs, lieutenant chiefs, pavilion chiefs, retired soldiers, and representatives of the common people, so that "the upper feelings are handed down, and the lower feelings are uploaded" is more conducive to the rule.
Completely different from the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, the "Red Flag Army" system broke the hall of words, and the grassroots people could often see the county magistrate, and even the governor and the state capital.
Hearing with my own ears that the high-ranking officials in my memory issued decrees in front of the public, it will naturally increase the enthusiasm of ordinary people to participate in politics and increase their right to speak.
