Dashun, which has been founded for four years, is gone!

On the first day of September, the Fifth Nanyang Corps, which had been stationed in Nanyang, Henan Province for several years, took over Fancheng north of the Yangtze River and then Xiangyang south of the Yangtze River by roaring train, and then took over Xiangyang south of the Yangtze River.

The Ming army was not as domineering as the victors of the previous dynasties, and the flagpoles were cut down one by one, but these battle flags full of dust and even traces of gunfire were neatly folded and collected.

The Ministry of Rites has a plan to build a Dashun History Museum in Xiangyang in the future, which will become precious exhibits, and the previous dynasties are eager to erase all traces of the previous dynasty and hostile forces, Mao Jue is more inclined to preserve the traces of each side, so as to learn from history and warn future generations.

Also on the same day, surrounded by hundreds of veterans and old families who were unwilling to disperse in the old battalion, Gao Guiying, the queen of Dashun, walked out of the city that once belonged to the highest honor of the peasant army, and looked back at the slowly falling Li Ziwang Banner, the elderly woman who had supported Li Zicheng for more than ten years couldn't help but sigh heavily, and then trembling and walking towards the dock with those old brothers.

For them, the leaders of the peasant uprising, the Ming Dynasty is also a reversal of the brutality of the past, but an unprecedented tolerance, for the Xiangyang Dashun Department, Mao Jue had reserved a severance pay of one million taels before, and as long as they left Xiangyang, the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit them from going anywhere in the world, nor did they send people to supervise.

Because you don't need to!

Now Daming is full of opportunities, in the past, every inch of land and expensive farmland, but now because of the lack of reclamation people, it has become unprecious. Even because of Mao Jue's new "Imperial Land Law" prohibiting the abandonment of wasteland, many large landowners with many families and lands cried and shouted to give away the land for nothing, as long as they were not wasted in their hands, they would bear a large fine from the government every year!

And the more inland, the fewer young people, the emergence of the train to facilitate the travel of the big guys, the coast, Liaodong, everywhere are emerging factories eager to recruit people, as long as they are willing to endure hardships, the wealth earned in a year is equivalent to the harvest of two or three years of farming in the hometown, and then there are ambitions, follow the sea, a year of bicycles into motorcycles, motorcycles for BMW is not a dream.

The third is the improvement of the level of education, nine years of compulsory education, Mao Jue still can't afford to play, but three years of compulsory education, in today's Ming Dynasty is popular, in the new primary school, teachers are teaching traditional Mongolian learning, reading and literacy, while also teaching some natural knowledge, go back, these children can also teach their parents.

Because of the improvement of the cultural level, last year, the remnants of the Shanxi Maitreya Sect wanted to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes, and just put the altar on the table, and the head was directly sent to the government by a group of villagers as liars.

But the court didn't kill them, why? Talents are rare!! A group of frightened Maitreya living Buddha holy aunts were sent to the East India Company, where they received Sanskrit training for more than half a year, and then they were sent to Suba, Bangladesh.

The Mughal Empire is full of divine sticks, and Wu Sangui, the king of Zhu, is lacking these local divine sticks to fight!

Eat enough, there is hope, even feudal superstition can't be instigated, even the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Rites can't think of why to guard against these old Dashun Ministries.

But even so, Gao Guiying still rejected Qiao Leshan, who had just gotten married, at the port, and Li Huimei and his wife were reluctant to stay, and took those old brothers to cross the Yangtze River by boat and march towards Jingshi, which can be regarded as a disguised show of loyalty.

Of course, I don't know that all the leaders and generals of the old battalion followed Gao Guiying to Beijing, just like the one-armed guard Lu Zhong, who didn't even want his son who was still on the front line of Poyang Lake, and took his wife, daughter-in-law and two grandsons, he crossed the river a day earlier and stepped on the train to Xi'an.

After all, the plot of the homeland of the older generation, this one, is no longer bound by loyalty to the Dashun army, and the old guy wants to see his homeland again before he dies.

But after all, it is the older generation, while putting the salute on the luggage rack of the green train, the old guy still scolded and shouted: "Lao Tzu has fought for half his life, and I have never seen anything faster than riding a horse, what train to take?" This thing is stupid and heavy, and when I came, I still saw it, and I didn't even pull the horse properly! Can Ma Yue return to Guanzhong in the Year of the Monkey? ”

"Okay, old man, the government has bought us a good train ticket, and you are still clamoring to go back to build a house and buy land, and you don't need money to buy a horse? Besides, I've heard people say that at this time, there is nothing faster than a train! ”

In the end, it is one thing to one thing, and the old wife who has suffered for decades is chattering and persuading there, but it can be regarded as blocking the one-armed hero Lu Zhong's stomach complaining, and in the snickering of the two grandsons who have lost their jobs from the palace guards, the old guy stinks and sticks his head out of the window, while still humming.

"I don't believe it, this thing can be faster than a horse!"

However, in just a few seconds, the true fragrance theorem exploded in the old man Lu, the big snot was dragged by the wind set off by the train, the scene in front of him passed backwards rapidly, he had never sat on such a fast thing, the wrinkled face on the old face was blown back by the wind, Lu Zhong was sad to grasp the table with one hand, while driving the horse and shouting.

"Slow down! Slow down! Sigh! Phew~~~"

The carriage was full of passengers, one by one, looking over like a hillbilly, and Mrs. Lu, with her daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, all covered her head with her hands sadly.

What a shame!

............

Mao Jue created an efficient and powerful government, he himself did not have time to react in Xuzhou, but the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials have already acted quickly, on September 2, the newly appointed governor of Huguang by the Ministry of Rites, Fan Kezhi, who was born in the old Dongjiang University, has arrived in Xiangyang, and then, a large number of reserve officials followed the Nanyang Corps, with Gao Guiying's generalissimo seal of Fengtian Advocate Righteousness and Protector of the People, and received the land of Huguang at the speed of marching, and formed a local government on the spot.

However, it is easy to recover Xiangyang, and even occupy the three towns of Wuhan, and it is not difficult to recover the entire Huguang, the real difficulty is still the front line of Poyang Lake, Liu Zongmin, Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, Li Laiheng and other old generals are there, and there are more than 500,000 Huguang and the main force of the Shaanxi army in the confrontation there.

Although they don't necessarily have the ability to turn the tables, once the fish dies and the net is broken, it is also a lot of destructive force, especially in the big game of chess in Jiangnan, Mao Jue has been laid out for so long, and they really can't allow them to set off any more storms.

At this time, Mao Jue finally hurried back to the Xuzhou front by boat from Hangzhou, where he, as the emperor, urgently issued a mobilization order to the Northern Group Army of Liaodong and the Capital Corps of the Beijing Division, and the Xuzhou Corps directly on the border line was assembled early, except for the second Yangzhou Corps also staring at the north of Yingtianfu, and the remaining five corps of 40,000 people who could be mobilized were rushing westward by train.

On the eighth day of September, the gunboats of the Xuzhou Army and the Yangtze River Naval Division of the Northern Ming Dynasty, which was specially formed to deal with the Southern Ming Dynasty, also appeared at Hongshiji on the other side of the Jiujiang River.

The three most powerful forces in the whole of East Asia gathered together and looked at each other across the river.

The Xuzhou Army mainly wanted to deal with Liu Zongmin's army, to prevent him from going crazy and returning to the division to destroy, or the army suddenly collapsed, and the chaotic army all over the mountains and fields caused a devastating blow to the place, but the appearance of the Yangtze River Water Division, which caused the greatest shock, was the Nanming Jiujiang Water Division guarding the other end of Poyang Lake, guarding the lake army!

Over the past year or so, with the joint efforts of the Fushe and Shi Kefa, this Jiujiang naval division has actually made great progress, and the only gunboat that there was last year was the Golden Deer sent by the Dutch, and in more than a year, it has increased to five today, and the originally scattered Nanming and Northern Prefecture troops have also undergone a reborn change.

First of all, eliminate empty salaries, eliminate the old and weak and scoundrels in the army, and then recruit strong men from the refugees in the south of the Yangtze River to enlist in the army.

Moreover, with the help of the Dutch, a new gun workshop was built, and the equipment was also improved by leaps and bounds compared with two years ago, and the whole army was equipped with more than 40,000 more advanced Dutch muskets, more than 200 large and small guns, not counting the more than 240 guns on ships.

Shi Kefa had never felt that he was so well fed, and even these days, he had planned to launch a tentative counterattack against the Dashun army west of Poyang Lake.

However, at this time, the Northern Ming Army came, and all his efforts turned out to be so pale.

In the telescope, the tonnage firepower is not inferior to the main battleship of the Golden Deer, there are 20 sailors of the Yangtze River in the Beiming Dynasty, and the remaining gunboat transport ships of small tonnage do not know how many.

On the shore, in the sound of neat military drums, the Beiming Infantry Regiment that once made Shi Kefa desperate walked at a neat pace, pushing cannons like waves to appear in the riverside camp, and their overwhelming offensive was a nightmare in the middle of the night for Shi Kefa.

Now all these things that the old scholar feared really appeared in his eyes again.

On the door of the brain, beads of sweat rolled down like a stream, in the stunned eyes of a series of Jiujiang army leaders such as Yuan Jixian, the governor of Jiujiang, Chen Zilong, the military officer, and Jiang Zhou, the general soldier, Shi Kefa suddenly put down the wet binoculars, held his knees, and gasped violently, and Chen Zilong, who was close to him, even felt that he was more than ten years old in an instant.

"Overseer!"

Listening to the stunned and panicked calls of his subordinates, it can be counted that Shi Kefa recovered from the shock in front of him, and raised the telescope again, but he suddenly looked at the Dashun army camp on the opposite side, which also became crowded, and roared hurriedly.

"Send someone across the lake immediately to find out what's going on!"

"Plus!"

His voice trembled, he gritted his teeth, and Shi Kefa roared impatiently.

"Eight hundred miles expedited! In other words, the wind of the nest! Scraped up!! ”
