The end of Chongzhen's fourteenth year is approaching.

At this time in previous years, it was the time when Deputy Director Zhu worked hard to collect materials and prepare for the year's summary. In the past year's work, how many new ideas have been proposed, how many big things have been done, how many good results have been achieved, and how many difficult problems have been solved. Eight times out of ten, no one reads these summaries, but there are exceptions. If you happen to be in the stage of superior inspection, then this summary is very famous. Clear thinking, skillful writing is the most basic, the key is that your proposal should be in the way of the superior, but also have to develop, which is not easy.

Now Zhu Pingjin doesn't need to write a summary, but read a summary. And his wife is not at home, so his spirit is rarely relaxed.

My wife first went to Luzhou, met He Youyi and Song Zhenzong, and inspected the immigration work in Luzhou. Afterwards, he inspected Furong and made a decision on the key issue of the trip - the monopoly of the salt industry. Then he turned to Tuojiang and went to Huaikou Town to meet with Li Chongwen and others to learn about and guide the agricultural production of Tongchuan Prefecture and Shunqing Prefecture. In order to ensure the absolute safety of his wife, Zhu Pingjin drew a company from the guard battalion, and in addition to a few old rowing boats, the two newly built large rowing boats were all mobilized to accompany the sailors. Zhu Pingjin estimated that his wife would come back at the end of November, and there were still a few days before now, so he hurriedly arranged other things.

The army has enough food and enough seeds for spring ploughing. If there is no panic in the heart of food, the army can be expanded and deployed in a step-by-step manner in the major adjustment of strategic speed, and Wang Zhuang and the immigrants can also take advantage of the slack time to gradually arrive in place.

The four main battalions of the caravan 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th have been fully equipped with priority replenishment. The 10th Battalion, which went to northern Sichuan for reinforcements, led cavalry, artillery, and baggage troops, was trekking towards Xinzheng Dam. The 5th, 6th, and 7th Luzhou battalions have erected skeletons and are basically full of personnel, but they still lack equipment, especially firearms and horses.

Shortages of firearms and horses are old problems.

The new Chongzhen 14-year-old six-point firearm has been enthusiastically sought after by various equipment units. But it has just been finalized and mass-produced, and there are only ten of them a day, and the troops have no choice but to grab them. The seven-kilogram copper cannon is all made of copper, and the cost is too high to continue large-scale production. A total of fifteen bronze cannons were cast, equipped with a small battalion of twelve guns, and the rest were equipped with naval armies. Later, the iron mold method was used to cast iron cannons. The new large-scale gun factory was initially located in Luzhou, so as to be close to the location of steel raw materials such as Syria, and use the Yangtze River waterway for transportation. But when will Luzhou Gun Factory start producing products, even He Youyi, who is desperately trying to win the project, does not dare to pack tickets.

Horses are an important military resource that is lacking in all units. Before the autumn of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, this contradiction could not be alleviated. The reason is simple, the supply is insufficient and the cost is too high. Even if the mutual channel is opened, the price of a qualified Qiang-Tibetan war horse is more than fifty taels.

The only equipment that was in sufficient supply was armor, which was in short supply for officers and soldiers. The armor equipped by the two teams of Shangzhuang is divided into leather armor and iron armor, and the shape of the two is similar, the difference is only the material. Luo Yuhong and Cao Santai stored a large amount of leather in the Tianquan Field, and the raw materials for leather armor were sufficient. The leather workshops in Yazhou have been integrated, and the production capacity of leather armor is also sufficient. The Firearms Bureau regulates the standards for the size and strength and hardness of iron armor, and then tenders are submitted to the private sector and payment is made by piece. This move led to the rapid expansion of the production units of iron armor, and the production capacity expanded rapidly, even exceeding the needs of the two teams of the commercial village.

In addition to the caravans, the caravans are also being established in Tongchuan, Shunqing, Mianzhou, Luzhou, as well as in parts of Boryeong and Syria. Progress may be fast and slow, but with the exception of northern Sichuan, Zhu Pingjin is not expected to be attacked militarily.

The situation changed from day to day, but these changes were expected by Zhu Pingjin and his military authority. The only surprise was Dong Bu Tusi in Tibet.

After Luo Jingyun and Wang Daniu attacked Feixian Pass at night, they stayed in the local area to rest and recruit troops. Feixian Pass is not far from Lushan County, when the Lushan area was hit by hail, and there were many Han and Tibetan soldiers who signed up for the army. The Tibetans among these recruits, under the leadership of one of the leaders of the Tungbu Tusi, Jianshenida, formed the Tungbu Independent Company.

In the reorganization of Songlin Mountain, the independent company of Dong Bu completely retained its independent structure because of the particularity of its composition. In the later expansion plan, the Dong Bu Independent Company was also expanded into the Dong Bu Independent Battalion. Jian Shennida, who had no quota for recruitment, returned to Dong Bu Tusi, and came to the Tusi as many as possible, recruiting more than 2,000 Tusi soldiers at once.

The Directorate of Military Service of the Superintendent of Military Affairs reported that the ethnic composition of the recruits was almost half Chinese and half Tibetan.

Most of the Han people are poor people in Lushan, Linguan and Yazhou, and a small number are the descendants of Han immigrants from Jiarong Tusi.

Tibetan origins are complicated. There are only more than 500 people in Dong Bu Tusi, and the remaining about 400 people are from Zagu Tusi, and nearly 100 people are from Xiaojin, Wasi, Yutong (Mingzheng Tusi) and other Tusi, involving more than a dozen large and small tribes.

Why are the origins of these brutes so complicated?

Jianshenida explained that some of the soldiers of Dong Bu Tusi and several other Tusi were from his own tribe, and some were babies (slaves) bought from other leaders. And the soldiers of Zagu Tusi were all prisoners of Dong Bu Tusi.

For this reason, the leader of Dong Bu, Jian Shen Lanha, also sent a letter to Zhu Pingjin, indicating that Tusi could not pay tribute to the emperor of Jingshi under the current situation. For Dong Bu Tusi's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, these babies were given as tribute to the Shu King of the Ming Dynasty. Jian Shen Langha hopes that the Shu Wangfu and Dong Bu Han Hu Tusi will directly do tea and horse business, and do not go through the Tianquan Tusi field.

Since it was a soldier recruited by Jianshennida, he was consulted on how these soldiers should be organized into a military service bureau. The leader of Dong Bu said that of course, the Han people handed over the arrangements to the prince, and the Tibetans of Dong Bu, Yutong, Xiaojin, and Wasi were relatives and could be organized into a Tibetan barracks. But Zagu Tusi's baby is a prisoner of war of Dong Bu Tusi, and can only engage in the most lowly work, and is not worthy of being made up with them.

The Ministry of Supervision and Military Affairs forwarded Jianshenida's opinion to Zhu Pingjin. Zhu Pingjin basically agreed, but singled out the people of Yutong Toast to form an independent platoon. Twisted melons are not sweet, he understands this truth. Zhu Pingjin also issued a decree that Xu Yinhuan, the platoon commander of Xinzheng Dam, select fifteen Tusi soldiers from the Tianquan Tusi Independent Infantry Platoon to report to the Shu Palace, preparing to lead the 400 Zagu slave soldiers. Why did you choose Xu Yinhuan? Because he has military exploits and understands both Chinese and Tibetan.

Nearly 400 captives were not a small number in the sparsely populated Kangzang. The tribute of the leader of Dong Bu, Jian Shen Lanha, can be understood as both a surrender and a demonstration.

The episode brought by Jianshennida's recruitment reminded Zhu Pingjian: Those ethnic minorities in the mountains to the west are actually very concerned about what is happening in the vast area of the Ming Dynasty. They may be no different from the gentry of the Ming Dynasty, or they are trying to bite a piece of meat from this declining empire; Either lay out in advance in order to be ready to deal with new masters in the mainland in the future.

Dong Bu Han Hu Tusi is the middle and large Tusi of the Jiarong Tibetan people, and his power is on a par with Yutong Tusi. The area under its jurisdiction far exceeds that of Baoxing County in Zhu Pingjin's previous life. Tusizhi is located in Weizhou City (now Weizhou Town, Wenchuan County, Jiang Weicheng on the side of the Min River). The city faces the river on three sides. The territory extends to the Dajinchuan River basin in the north; east to the Zagu Nao River Basin, and the junction with the Zagu Pacification Division; The west is no more than the Dadu River; The south is bordered by the Tianquan Tusi of the two Gaoyang families. The territory has crossed the famous Jiajin Mountain and covered the main passage of Sichuan-Tibet traffic - Linguan Road (Lingguan Road).

During the Orthodox and Tianshun years, Dong Bu Tusi clashed with the Zagu Tusi in the Zagu Nao River Basin in order to expand his power. The war lasted for several years, until the death of Dong Bu Tusi at that time, the hot war gradually evolved into the cold war, and the two toasts became feuds from then on. The imperial court has always been very wary of the powerful Dong Bu Tusi, in addition to using tea and Buddhism as a means of containment, it resolutely did not allow Dong Bu Tusi to pay tribute from Guankou, and only allowed them to go to Yazhou. The imperial court also often recruited troops from Dong Bu Tusi in order to reduce its population. Liao Daheng also understood this, and his standard camp included hundreds of Dong Bu cavalry led by Gyatso.

Dong Bu Tusi's blatant action also brought an additional benefit to Zhu Pingjin. Tianquan Tusi immediately took the initiative to apply for the expansion of two battalions of one cavalry and one step to four battalions of three cavalry and one step, so as to form a complete Tianquan Tusi regiment. The expansion of the two Tianquan battalions was mainly provided by the Tianquan Yang family, who had not sent troops. But the fly in the ointment is that they can't be in place until after the New Year. But this can't be blamed for Tianquan Toast's slow movements. Because the dispatch of troops to northern Sichuan in March next year was announced by Zhu Pingjin personally in the carrier hall.

……

"The air was fresh, the sun was shining, everything was so wonderful! Much more comfortable than fucking running in the morning in the haze! ”

In the muddy pond of rocky beach with stinky puddles everywhere, Zhu Pingjin wiped his face with the sleeve of his dirty cotton robe and sighed, and then continued to pedal the shovel, trying to consume the calories accumulated in his body.

This is the Zouma River at the junction of Shuangliu County and Chengdu County.

Zhu Pingjin brought Liao Daheng and other high-ranking officials to "volunteer labor" early in the morning to set an example for the people. In the river, on the embankment, you can see the figure of a hoe and shovel everywhere. Men carrying soil with flat poles walk from the river to the embankment, dumping the silt dug out of the river together. This organic-rich sludge is covered with crushed grass straw, which is a good green fertilizer

"Oops! My son! You're going to take the official's life! ”

Liao Daheng, who was beside Zhu Pingjin, lost the shovel, supported his palms on his fat buttocks, raised his round belly and sighed: "Didn't you say that it was like the emperor sacrificing Sheji, just for show?" How did it really work! ”

Liao Daheng said that the emperor's sacrifice to Sheji refers to a ceremony held by the emperor and the queen during spring ploughing every year: the eunuch takes the ox, the emperor supports the plow, the queen sows the seeds, three people and a cow, four points and one line, and the assembly line operation.

The two members of the Heavenly Family went into battle in person, and the ministers who participated in the ceremony naturally had to roll up their sleeves and make a show. All this shows the world: the empire is based on agriculture, and the heavenly family is based on farming.

Liao tycoon's henchman Chen Qichi looks even worse. He had accidentally stepped into a stinky puddle just now, and the fat cotton pants were still dripping. I saw that he deliberately pulled down the wide brim of his straw hat so that he could cover half of his face and prevent others from seeing it. While shoveling stones and sand weakly, he secretly muttered: "Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people!" The ministers of the imperial court, high-ranking officials of a province, came to do this coolie, what kind of system did they become! ”

"Here comes the car! Shizi, Liao Fu, load another car and rest? ”

A two-wheeled dump truck was expertly pushed between Zhu Pingjin and Liao Daheng. Chengdu sentenced Wu Jishan to a fat face with a flushed face, and there were pieces of sweat on his forehead.

"Ben Fu can't do it!" Liao staggered as if he was about to fall. Wu Jishan hurriedly stretched out his hand and stepped forward. Liao Daheng wished that someone would help him perform, so he hurriedly shook it so that Wu Jishan just happened to help him and sat on a dirty giant pebble.

Liao Daheng's blatant laziness will have an exemplary effect, turning this great voluntary labor into a farce in the eyes of the people and an absurdity in the history books. Therefore, Zhu Pingjian, who has always taken the lead in setting an example, spoke. He solemnly pointed out to Liao Daheng: Setting an example for the people is not for fun, let alone for show! River dredging, increase the amount of water, not only conducive to farmland irrigation, but also conducive to navigation, dug up silt, can also be used as fertilizer, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people in the future!

It's just that Zhu Pingjin criticized it, and immediately changed to a smiling face: "Besides, this son is not deceiving." Liao Gong came voluntarily! Liao Gong and Baiguan fist for the hearts of the people, and this son is not easy to stop, right? ”

Liao Daheng suffered a dumb loss, and he had nowhere to attack, so he had to snort twice with his nose, regardless of whether he wanted to do it or not.

Wu Jishan saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly picked up the shovel dropped by Liao Daheng and struggled to lift the dirt into the dump truck he pushed. As soon as the dirt was halfway loaded, he pushed the dump truck and ran away. Before running away, he also picked up the shovel thrown by Liao Daheng.

"The combination of work and rest, yin and yang, can obtain the essence of heaven and earth, longevity and health." Zhu Pingjin saw that Liao Daheng was not convinced, and persuaded him again.

"The son of the world is a scholar, and the old man must be taught." When it comes to health, Liao Daheng feels that he has a lot of experience. He sat on the stone to breathe his breath, and had the leisure to compare his tongue with this half-grown child: "Taoists often say that if you want to live a long life, you must have a pure heart and few desires, and meditate and meditate. This official is in Beijing, and he saw Zhang Zhenren and other national teachers, all of them with crane hair and childish faces, looking like gods! ”

Zhu Pingjin was dismissive of Liao Daheng's illogical perceptual understanding: "The real people of Longhu Mountain don't meditate every day. When they are fine, they have to practice boxing and move their muscles! If you meditate and meditate every day, won't you have artemisia grass on your feet and mushrooms on your head? How can you look like a god! ”

Zhu Pingjin's words made everyone around him laugh, and even Liu Zhibo, a patrolman with a serious face and a hard work with his head covered, also smiled. Liu Zhibo hurried back from the Guankou construction site yesterday, mainly because of the deployment of the supervising army to advance into northern Sichuan. He has nothing to do in Guankou, and he does it every day with the people of various counties, and he also tans a lot in winter.

Liao was about to retort when a galloping figure interrupted him. The young officer, dressed in the red leather armor of the caravan, asked the soldiers on the embankment where Shizi was, and then took control of his horse and went straight down to the dry riverbed, and ran all the way to Shizi. This officer is Duan Renxuan, section chief of the Communications Bureau, Zhu Pingjin is very familiar with him, and the love letters between him and his wife have been sent by this person, does his wife have a letter to deliver?

"Urgent military situation!"

Because the prince was with a large group of officials, Duan Renxuan did not report the place where the urgent mail was sent, but only briefly explained the content of the urgent mail: "On the fourth day of the first month of this month, Nanyang City was attacked by thieves!" The king of Tang was killed, and the sect was killed! The total soldier is as fierce as a tiger and Liu Guangzuo, and he died in battle! According to reliable sources, the thieves are sweeping through the states and counties of Henan Province, and the next ......"

Before Duan Renxuan's words fell, he heard Wu Jishan scream. It turned out that the butt of Liao Daheng, the governor of Sichuan, slipped on the smooth pebbles and sat on the ground. When Zhu Pingjin and Wu Jishan hurriedly helped Liao Daheng up, this ordinary and shrewd old vixen had blank eyes and muttered, "Next...... Kaifeng...... Zhou Wang ...... Da Ming is dying? ”
