Chapter 57 The Qing army enters the customs
I only heard Fan Yubin say slowly: "In the past two years, we will successively organize small-scale production and sales of what I just said in the Songjiang workshop, accumulate technology and experience, and prepare for large-scale promotion." I think that when the economy of Jiangnan is out of control, the first to find us must be our previous collaborators. No problem, but this time we must have a controlling stake. For other handicraft workshops that are about to go bankrupt, we can provide capital and technology, and use their workshops and workers to produce shoes, socks, clothing, etc., on very favorable terms, without the need for a controlling stake. As for the family workshops, they outsource the above products to them to make at home. So they don't need to go bankrupt, but they don't spin and weave anymore, but do something else. Jiangnan's economy will soon be able to return to stability. As for the funds, I think there should be no problem with the profits from the operation in the early stage. As for... ”
Fan Yubin paused for a moment, and said decisively: "As for the other Jin merchants, it's okay to pay money, I can't let them know the inside story, let alone let them go to the market, I don't want accidents to happen." Fan Yubin knows that in the face of huge interests, it is often accompanied by some irrational things, and he doesn't want to spoil a pot of soup because of a mouse feces and ruin his plan for industrial change.
At this time, it was the end of September of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and it was almost October, and Zhangjiakou was located in the north, and there was already a chill in the air. Fan Yuxin was sweating, according to his business experience, the probability of the implementation of this plan was almost 100%, and the Fan family would gain fame and fortune from it. The profit may be astronomical, and the name is the savior of countless people in Jiangnan. If he still had a trace of thoughts about the head of the Fan family, then now he is completely dead. He now understands that the gap between him and this third brother is thousands of miles, and it is not an exaggeration to use the difference between heaven and earth as an analogy. He also deeply admired his grandfather and father's ability to know people. He also understood why Fan Yubin invited him to explain this plan so clearly to him, that is, to let him secretly add fuel to the fire, so that the development of things would run in the direction of Fan Yubin's plan.
He stood up and threw a deep fist at his third brother.
The last person Fan Yubin met was his second brother. For this second brother to dare to dare to do it, Fan Yubin is very relieved. He mainly told him three things: First, cooperate with Deng Shichang to build a good navy. Second, we should attach importance to the construction of shipyards and train more skilled workers. The third is that when he buys a ship with the Francophiles, he can order from them something that flows from a tearful tree in South America, and he can buy it with money or exchange it for goods, so that he must not forget.
After everything was arranged, Fan Yubin quietly waited for a big event to happen!
On September 22, the eleventh year of Chongzhen, it was the housewarming of Star Castle. In order to keep it secret, and because there were too many people to congratulate him, the celebration ceremony was arranged on the wide training ground east of Star Fort.
On the playground, it was crowded. On the high platform, the VIP seats were full. At nine o'clock, with an order, firecrackers rang out, gongs and drums were noisy, and the square was boiling.
Suddenly, Fan Yongdou looked at the north in a daze, and everyone followed his eyes, only to see that in the sky in the north, from east to west, streams of wolf smoke rose into the sky. Soon, wolf smoke also rose in the sky above Zhangjiakou Fort: one, two, three! This means that there are more than 10,000 people in the Tartar Guard. All of them turned pale, and they trembled.
On September 22, the 11th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army led 100,000 troops with Dolgon as the general and Yue Tuo as the general Yang Wu, known as 200,000 troops divided into two routes, detoured to Mongolia, and broke through the fortress of the Great Wall from the wall ridge east of Miyun and the Qingshan Pass east of Xifengkou. Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Zongwen, the chief soldier, were killed in battle, and the eunuch Zheng Xizhao fled and the Qing army drove straight in. On September 24, martial law was imposed in Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen urgently summoned Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, and the soldiers and horses of Hudawei, the general soldier of Shanxi, to enter the guard, and gave Lu Xiang the sword of Shangfang, and the governor of the world Qin Wang soldiers and horses. For a time, the world shook.
This time, when the Qing army entered the customs, except for the Zhenghuang Banner, the Yellow Banner and the Zhenglan Banner, the elite of the other banners all entered the customs, and more than half of the troops of the Qing Dynasty were mobilized. Huang Taiji personally led a large army to move in Liaodong to contain the Guanning Iron Cavalry. The Eight Banners of the Qing Army refer to the yellow, red, blue, white, yellow, red, white, and blue. At present, Huang Taiji is in charge of the yellow and yellow flags, and his son Haoge is in charge of the blue flag. The main white flag is Dorgon, and the white flag is dominated by Dordor; The owner of the red flag is Yue Tuo, and the owner of the red flag is Du Du. The blue flag banner lord Zilharang. At this time, the Eight Banners were not yet divided into upper and lower flags. The Qing army commanded the army with flags, and the yellow, red, blue, and white flags were used in natural colors, with a rusty dragon pattern and a dragon head backwards. Inlaid with yellow, inlaid with white, inlaid with blue are inlaid with red edges, inlaid with red flags are inlaid with white edges, and the flag is also embroidered with dragon patterns, and the dragon head is forward.
The smallest military unit of the Eight Banners is Niu Lu, and the manager is Niu Lu Zhangjing. The five oxen are recorded as a Jiala, and there is a Jiala Zhangjing. The five Jiala are a solid mountain, and there is a solid mountain Ezhen. There were 300 people in each cow, of which about 100 were horse armor and infantry armor, and the others were defenders. The infantry armor and horse armor are all cavalry, which only indicates the degree of their bravery, and the Bayara soldiers are more powerful than them. Each ox had seventeen Bayara soldiers. The chief in the Niu Lu is called Zhuanda, and there are shares of Pashiku (vest) and Pashiku (Bujia) on the Zhanda.
On October 16, the 11th year of Chongzhen, the two armies met in the west of the Tongzhou River, and the sword pointed directly at the Beijing Division. Jingshi was in chaos. However, the Qing army flickered a shot in Beijing, and then the main force moved into Liangxiang and quickly conquered Zhuozhou. Then the soldiers went deep in three ways, one route out of Yizhou in Moshui, one route out of Xiongxian County in Xincheng, one route out of Ansu in Dingxing, and besieged Baoding. After that, they divided their troops into eight routes to the south, all the way along the Taihang Mountain, all the way along the canal, and the middle road was spread between the Taihang Mountain and the Yellow River. From the beginning of November to the beginning of December, the Qing army successively captured Dingzhou, Gaoyang, Hengshui, Wuyi, Zaoqiang, Jize, Wen'an, Bazhou, Zhuocheng, Weixian, Pingxiang, Nanhe, Shahe, Yuanshi, Zanhuang, Lincheng, Gaoyi, Xianxian and other cities...
After the Qing army entered the customs, Fan Yubin immediately summoned Wuying. For Wuying, Fan Yubin has always been a little repulsed in his heart, probably because he is a eunuch. Although Old Lady Fan had clearly explained that Wuying could be dispatched by him, he had never arranged anything for Wuying. Now it's time to play this card. Fan Yubin ordered Wuying to concentrate all his forces and collect the movements of the Qing army as much as possible.
