Chapter 002: Battle
A group of brothers, together with the amiable ones, waited for this godmother to serve the food, while continuing to discuss the development of Shaanxi, as if they had turned this place into half of the palace chamber.
No, today you Lu Shi raised the question of Lu, so everyone said that Lu Shi did not want to make progress, and then-
Zhao Zi said calmly: "Chen Shoufu's words are reasonable, as the so-called, one blow, two and decline, three and exhaustion, especially, in Shanxi, in Henan, there are hundreds of people under the harsh government of the imperial court, under the iron hooves of the rogue screaming and screaming, this tomorrow there are hundreds of millions of people who need us to save." Zhao Zi looked at Lu Shi with a look of saving all lives: "King Chuang, you shoulder the world and take saving the people as your own responsibility, so how can you be so decadent, so ——。 The Shangshu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately smashed his fist on Lu Shi's table, startling Lu Shi: "We need to send troops to Shanxi to relieve the people from hanging upside down." ”
This proposal immediately made Guo Tianxing's face flush with excitement, and he felt eager to try. But Guo Tianxing and Lu Shi are true brothers, everything is forward-looking with Lu Shima, but they are just eager to try, just looking at their brother with eager eyes, their bodies twisting with difficulty, but they don't say anything.
The setting of the palace is based on the principle of separating the military from the government and equality between the military and the government, and the army is only in charge of the war, and the government is only in charge of the people's livelihood. At this time, in the case of enemies on all sides, on the contrary, the army is more important, and the people serve the army. Therefore, according to the general saying, according to the officialdom practice of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Ce is above 10,000 people under one person, but here, he does not necessarily have such a right, no matter what he thinks, in the end, it depends on the military aircraft headed by the nominal generalissimo, in fact, the military aircraft headed by Wu Tao has the final say.
Wu Tao put down the wine glass at this time, smiled faintly, and then said to Lu Shi, who covered the bowl on his face: "King Chuang, Lord Shoufu is right, in this world, it is not yet time to cast a sword as a plow, conquest, break the surrounding blockade, let us have more room for development, is the way for us to survive, if we are like this, wait until the Ming Dynasty breathes, turn over and continue to encircle and suppress us, at that time, we will be very passive, so please also ask King Chuang to decide, send troops to Shanxi." ”
The bowl can't always be buckled in the face, and it can't go to the street, can it? It must be taken down, especially, Wu Tao said that the military plane said, then it is natural to give a decision.
Lu Shi put down his rice bowl, glanced at the brothers present with his eyes, pondered for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and was about to speak.
At this time, the person who knows his son's mind the most is actually the third uncle at the level of the emperor, and the godfather knew what Lu Shi was going to say next, so he quickly suddenly interjected: "Actually, there is a shortage of salt in our country, and the people have been complaining for a long time. ”
Off topic, this time it's really off topic, here is the matter of going to Shanxi, why did you suddenly insert a rod, and is it still something that is out of touch? And they all lamented together.
However, this time it was the respected third uncle who presided over the off-topic, so everyone had to pinch their noses and listen.
For the problem of salt shortage in Shaanxi, Lu Shi's heart is a bit of a spectrum, salt is the lifeblood of the people, as a rebel, of course the Ming Dynasty wants to restrict, blockade, this is no matter how stupid the court also knows this truth, people are powerless without salt, soldiers will be defeated without salt, everyone understands this truth.
In fact, there is salt in Shaanxi in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and in Gansu in later generations, that is, in the northwest of Shaanxi now, there is a huge salt mine, but the salt is a thorough industrial salt according to later generations, containing toxins, and people cannot eat it directly without refining.
And if refining is a huge system of complicated technical engineering, it will require a lot of sophisticated equipment in later generations, and it is not at all the knowledge that a small peasant high school graduate has mastered.
What's worse is that it is now occupied by the Mongol Tatars, who have lost the glory of the Golden Empire, but their combat power is still strong. I think that Yang Hehong Chengchou sorted out the three sides, although there was a shortage of food and weapons, but after all, relying on infinite wisdom and harsh military law, he rectified the most powerful military group of the Ming Dynasty except for the Guanning Iron Cavalry. But even so, it is still whistling back and forth by the Tartars who cross the Great Wall every year to threshh grass, and they are helpless to take others. The most serious one was rushed through the layers of defense lines and hit directly at the door of the house - Yansui, the residence of the trilateral governor.
At that time, the war situation was urgent, and the governor Yang He panicked, and on the one hand, he strictly guarded and transferred troops everywhere, but by the time the reinforcements from all over the country gathered, the Tartars had already coerced the people, robbed the finances and Yang He's mouth full of teeth and walked away, which shows how strong its combat power is.
The best way to deal with the cavalry whistling from the Tartars is, of course, the machine gun, the real glory of the cavalry is no longer there, in fact, it is not after the appearance of firearms, in fact, it is after the appearance of machine guns and other firearms that they declined.
Machine gun? It's a pity that I don't even have a bird tube, although my Lu Shi longbow is hugely powerful and well-equipped, and it can cover a large number of enemies with a few firepower, but the longbowmen are all two-legged, and they won't chase the six-legged Tartars.
Therefore, the only way to deal with cavalry in this era is to grow four legs, that is, six legs against six legs, to organize a cavalry, and to use cavalry against cavalry.
Thinking that his generalissimo Guo Tianxing was at the beginning, under his own guidance and education, he created a light cavalry that far surpassed them in terms of formation, equipment, and elite level compared to the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.
However, because he wanted to destroy his biggest opponent Li Zicheng, he thought that using cavalry to deal with Liukou would be a matter of hand, but it turned out to be wishful thinking. In the battle of the trapped dragon valley, I didn't expect Li Zicheng, the second or fifth boy in history, to play Zhang Xianzhong's old trick, surrendered Hong Chengchou, united with the imperial court, and surrounded himself, but he lost the first battle, and the 10,000 elite cavalry was almost wiped out
Therefore, without cavalry, you can only watch the salt lake in the northwest but you can't do anything. Therefore, Shaanxi salt can only be smuggled from Yancheng, Shanxi, and the caravan led by Zheng Hongda's elder brother. But which country do you think relies on smuggling to survive on a scarce substance? That's the most unreliable thing, it's the rhythm of sending your neck to the other hand and making people pinch, so the salt problem that the third uncle said is indeed a big thing that plagues the whole of Shaanxi
The third uncle looked at Lu Shidao, who lowered his head and pondered: "King Chuang, the shortage of salt has also caused another fatal thing, that is, the outflow of silver. ”
An outflow of silver? This is a big deal, according to Chen Ce and others, this silver is nominally their own, and their own silver has flowed out, so wouldn't it be a long life? So Lu Shi, whose eyes lit up when he heard the silver, immediately straightened his sitting posture and listened carefully.
As soon as they saw Lu Shi, whose eyes were shining, solemnly listening to the lecture, all the people immediately raised their vigilance, for fear that he would once again stir up some nonsense questions.
"We Shaanxi break into the world, although not circulating silver but RMB, so the inventory accumulates a lot, but tightly into the shelf can not be quickly out, although our export products are sold all over the country, but only the purchase of salt alone spent most of it, because the salt lord of the Ming Dynasty almost does not need to do our export business, so the exchange of goods in front of them does not work at all, they only recognize silver, and we do not produce silver, originally can also play a cottage, break a Dingbao, black and black households, get some cellars, but we occupy the whole of Shaanxi, Now there are more and more good people, and there are fewer and fewer bad people, and there is no way to fight and grab, so there is no money to buy.
Generalissimo Guo Tianxing hugged his golden arm and touched his steel needle-like beard and squinted his eyes, and said with nostalgia on his face: "I really miss us at that time, I can fight whoever I want, I can rob whoever I want, what state city and county, what prince and county king, big gentry, as long as I don't like it, rob his mother, what is lacking at that time, as long as the government has ours, it is all in my account book, but it is just deposited with him, alas" sighed: "The good days are gone, Even if I go out on the street to eat a pear, if I don't give money to let those Zhao Xing's prison sergeants know, it doesn't matter if I'm their generalissimo or not, I have to hold my head and run away with ten lashes, what's the matter?"
Zhao Xing, who was shrinking behind the person and holding his hands, smiled and didn't answer, just looking, but this look made Guo Tianxing furious, and he couldn't help but mutter: "Am I committing something in his hands again, this is not a good thing." ”
Wu Tao of the Ministry of War couldn't help laughing, and said to Lu Shihe and the generalissimo: "Generalissimo, we were also rogues at the beginning, but we were stronger than other rogues, and we pretended to be ordinary people in our hearts, and we could target those landlords who were strong and lawless and other rogues, but we are now a legitimate government, and the gentry who have accepted the rent reduction and interest reduction we promulgated have also seen the people and subjects under the rule of our Shaanxi Chuang Wangfu, of course, we can't rob anymore, if that is the difference between us and the robber-like court." At that time, maybe another people will rise up and rebel against us. ”
Zheng Hao, the secretary of the ministry, picked his teeth very indecently, and said to Zhao Zi, who was drinking tea from Shi Shiran: "Old Zhao, look, even our generalissimo has not been able to turn the corner from the habit of the pole, and he is still dreaming of robbery and plunder all day long, so what about other people, I think there should be such thoughts, you as the secretary of the Inspectorate, you should pay attention." ”
