Wang Fuchen sat on a large ship, standing at the front despite the falling shells, shouting loudly, asking everyone to rush over and hit each other with their ramming angles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that their companions were killed, everyone was also anxious, shooting arrows while rushing around desperately.

About more than 20 steps, it is surprising that the officers and soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army who are going up the current are not afraid, except for seeing the oars constantly rowing back and forth in the water, they cannot see the movement of the soldiers of the Loyal Army behind the female wall and behind the quilt.

The Flying Tiger battleship is larger, with a female wall and a sampan boat, but in order to guard against the opponent's arrows and birds, a layer of quilts is spread around the ship, which is dipped in water to guard against arrows and birds.

Wang Fuchen was overjoyed and ordered everyone to drive a wooden boat into it, so that after the two boats collided together, they could board the ship and kill the enemy.

The Great Western Army lacked firearms, but it did not lack courage, and it was beaten by the other side from a long distance.

At this moment, I suddenly saw that the soldiers behind the quilt of the enemy's sampan boat suddenly stood up and threw iron balls from a distance, the two sides were very close to each other, and they were thrown very accurately, at least eighty or ninety percent were thrown on the warships of the Great Western Army.

Wang Fuchen felt strange, did the other party want to hit himself with an iron ball?

At a cursory glance, I didn't hit a few people, and I was about to laugh when I suddenly saw the iron ball exploding with sparks.

Although it cannot be compared with modern grenades, the principle of explosion is the same, the gunpowder is contained in an iron ball, and the explosion occurs after igniting the outer lead, relying on the iron pieces produced by the explosion, and the shock wave kills the opponent.

The warships were very close to each other, and most of the earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown onto the opponent's ship, and the warships in front often threw four or five, which suddenly exploded, and the iron pieces flew sideways, and the officers and men of the Onishi Army who were standing at the bow of the ship and were about to board the ship were blown to pieces.

In the past, the navy also used mines, such as the 28th year of Jiajing (1549), Tang Shunzhi's edited "Martial Arts", recorded "underwater mines", put the iron-shelled mines into a sealed large wooden box, sink into the water, and use 3 iron anchors to locate them, and connect them to the shore with rope continuous firing devices, and when the enemy ships approached, the ambush soldiers on the shore pulled the fire and detonated it. It is actually a kind of pull anchor mine.

There is also a kind of triggering sinking thunder, written by Wang Minghe at the end of the 16th century in the "Fire Attack Q&A", describing a kind of triggering sinking thunder, called "underwater thunder". It is to put the iron-shelled mine into a sealed vat, sink to the bottom of the water, and connect the rope on the surface of the water at a place of two inches (about 0.033~0.066 meters), and connect with the ignition device in the mine body, the enemy ship touches it, the machine falls and fires, and the enemy ship is blown up.

Although the Han compatriots in the late Northern Song Dynasty began to use earth-shaking thunder to defend the city, this was the first time it was used in water warfare.

There is a saying that in 1974, the heroic officers and men of the Republic of China in the Nansha naval battle used a grenade to defeat the Vietnamese Navy.

The Flying Tiger Battleship and the Sampan Boat of the Loyal and Righteous Army are all refitted special warships, and the soldiers are hiding behind the women's wall one by one, hiding behind the wet quilts, and now some of the quilts are already on fire, and they are directly lit at the burning place, and then the earth-shattering thunders are thrown over.

In order to avoid the earth-shaking thunder, some people saw that the situation was not good, and even jumped directly into the water.

Wang Fuchen shouted loudly, wanting to retreat, but now it is a smooth water, it is even more difficult to retreat, the two sides are fighting back and forth on the river, such a stick of incense, the Great Western Army warships not only sank and injured more than ten ships, but also the entire formation was washed to pieces, everyone fought separately, extremely chaotic.

What is surprising is that the loyal army has no intention of fighting at all, and now it actually rushes upstream, so as not to cause more damage.

The patriarch breathed a sigh of relief, and many people climbed back onto the warship from the water, and everyone regained their strength to restore their formation.

In less than half a pillar of incense, I suddenly saw the loyal and righteous army regain its strength and re-enter the upstream to kill.

The ships of the Loyal Army, which had rushed upstream, had now turned their heads and reloaded their gunpowder, and were now shelling and sneering down.

Everyone was shocked, just now the other side sank and destroyed several of their own warships against the current, and now they are going downstream, and the battle situation can be imagined.

Now everyone ignored Wang Fuchen's orders, driving the ships to flee one after another, Chen Huaixi led the sailors down the river, after half a day of fierce battles, defeated Liu Wenxiu's Fujiang Naval Division, which was not easy to establish, and captured Wang Fuchen, the right governor of the Great Western Army. (Just as the Hunan army originally went down the river in the Jinggang water battle, but was blocked by the Taiping army and retreated in time, so it was defeated.) ）

Looking at Wang Fuchen and Yang Wei, who were tied up and pushed up by the Five Flowers, the surrounding guards shouted loudly: "Bold, why don't you kneel when you see my general?" ”

Wang Fuchen sneered and scolded: "Lao Tzu's leg only kneels to the sky and only kneels to the ground, but he has never knelt down to a corrupt official who bullied the people.

Yang Xuan, don't talk nonsense, give grandpa a good time. ”

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "General Wang, although the official is now worshipping the political envoy of Sichuan Zuobu and the general army of northern Sichuan, it can be said that there is not a single penny of corruption, let alone bullying the common people of Limin."

General Wang, tell me, as long as you can say that someone Yang is corrupt, as long as you say that someone Yang has bullied the people, then I will personally loosen your ties and let you go back. ”

Although he was quite surprised in his heart, Wang Fuchen still seemed to be indifferent and said: "Yang Xuan, you are corrupt and bribery, and you are oppressive to the people, and the people of Sichuan know about it, do you still want to quibble?"

In the past, officials only had a salary, but now you have increased your office expenses, examination fees, office expenses, and examination fees are actually twice as much as those of Yulu, blatantly corrupt, and you also say how innocent you are. ”

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "General Wang is right, the prefect, the governor of the prefecture and the county magistrate and other officials, their office expenses and examination fees are twice as much as those of Yulu, and those adjutants are doubled.

But if you think about it, this is just a rationalization, just like many counties don't have more than 108 loads of grain a year, even if they are honest, they have to hire a master and a long-term follower.

Think about it, if the landlord asks for long-term workers to farm the land, it will cost seven or eight taels of silver a year, and if you add the food eaten at the landlord's house all year round and rewarded on weekdays, can you lose twelve or three taels of silver in a year?

If the magistrate deducts the expenses of the master and the long-term follower, how much money can he leave behind, not to mention supporting his family, even he will not have enough food and drink. ”

Wang Fuchen glared at Yang Xuan, and laughed: "Yang Xuan, you are a scholar, I am a mud leg, of course I am not as eloquent as you."

Zhixian County can't support his family with 108 quintals of grain a year, how many thick families have 100 quintals of grain a year?

Magistrates and landlords can't live, so how can we ordinary people live? You can't just read a few books and fool us mud legs. ”

The crowd was furious, and some even shouted and made them kneel.

Yang Xuan waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "General Wang, generally the thick family will not pay the wages of the master and the long-term follower, but after the magistrate pays the salary of the master and the long-term follower, what can be left?"

You are right, the main thing for politicians is that in addition to the hard-working and hard-working people, they should have food and clothing, and the life of officials should not be too cold, and the magistrate can at least live a decent life. ”

Wang Fuchen laughed and said: "Yes, I joined the rebel army, which is what your government calls a thief, mainly because the place was plagued by famine, the landlords and gentry oppressed, and the government took advantage of it, and I couldn't survive, so I had to defect to the rebel army in the end."

Yang Xuan, you have a bad heart, unlike other corrupt officials, but are you too ruthless to the people?"

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "General Wang smiled, what is the situation in Sichuan, the people are wandering everywhere, the government and bandits are rampant, and the people are not happy, General Wang, you go and take a look."

Over the past few years, I have resettled nearly 100,000 displaced people.

Under the jurisdiction of the people, Pengzhou has no more than 6 points per mu of fertile land, and no more than 2 points for dry land.

Because of the cashier during the Zhang Juzheng period, I agreed with the villagers at that time that it was also a cashier, even if some places now buy 1 tael of silver for grain, I would rather the government suffer a loss, but promised to change the policy after ten years.

In other states and counties, the fertile land is only 15 catties, and the dry land is only 6 catties.

In the past, many of the government were 2 or 3 coins of silver, and in some places there were more.

Ding Fu is 1 yuan and 2 cents of silver per ding, while in other places it is 4 or 5 yuan.

This is only a nominal tax silver, in fact less, as long as there is an invoice in hand, the invoice for paying 2 cents of silver can be worth 1 cent of silver.

General Wang, if you don't believe me, I can entrust you to investigate, and if anyone dares to violate this red line, I will not only punish you immediately, but also kowtow to you and the oppressed people to admit their mistakes.

Also, didn't General Wang say that all the people wanted was to have something to eat and a piece of clothing to wear, you go and see, even if those prisoners of the Great Western Army were in Tuntian after the trial, they still had enough to eat every day. ”

Wang Fuchen shook his head and said: "We also know that the lord is a good official, but the lord wants to say whether there is corruption or not, and it is really difficult to find other evidence in the next place, so it has to be like this." ”

Next to him, Yang Wei was quite obedient and stubborn, afraid that Yang Xuan would be angry, so he arched his hand and said: "My lord, General Wang also respects adults on weekdays, and we often talk about it, if all the officials in the world love the people like adults, as long as we all have something to eat, we will not join the rebel army."

My lord, I don't ask for your understanding, I just hope that the two families will not fight again.

The people are suffering, the people are suffering, and the adults are sad and merciful to see that Sichuan has suffered a famine, and everyone can't eat enough, and in some places people are starving to death. ”

Yang Xuan said: "What General Wang and General Yang said is reasonable, the people have two rights that are sacred and inviolable, that is, the right to survival and the right to development.

Let's talk about the right to subsistence first, as long as the people work hard and do not violate the law and discipline, the government and the yamen must ensure the basic right of the people's right to subsistence.

If there are recalcitrant people who infringe on the people's right to life, and the government turns a deaf ear, and if there are even officials and servants of the government and yamen who directly infringe on the people's right to life, the people have the right to develop weapons to defend their rights.

In the past, the government took advantage of the people, and General Wang and Yang only defended their right to live. ”

In a hurry, he said the right to survival and the right to development shouted by the Communist Party in his previous life, and he thought that everyone would cheer loudly, but Qian Bangqi, the first supervisor, sighed and said: "What the adults said is good, but the government has nothing to do."

The people of northern Shaanxi suffered a natural disaster, and the governor Yang He advocated pacification, but the imperial court really couldn't come up with money and food to redeem the people.

Since the Great Shaanxi Rebellion, how many Ming generals are like adults, as long as the Liukou agrees to surrender without severe punishment, but the Liukou is extremely cunning, and often just settled, they immediately rebel. ”

Yang Xuan was quite surprised, and listened to Qian Bangqi and Yin Chengqi repeatedly introduce the cases of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who rebelled immediately after returning to obedience.

Yang Wei and Wang Fuchen did not refute either, bluntly saying that the government does not talk about the people as people, not only to prevent but also to ask for bribes, and everyone has no way to live.

Yang Xuan thought for a while and sighed: "What General Yang and General Wang said is good, as long as they can eat enough, who wants to be a rogue?"

In the past, although the imperial court appeased the homeless and rebel army many times, it did not pay attention to it at all after the resettlement, and everyone had nothing to eat, so of course they rebelled in order to survive.

Since I led the troops, I have resettled nearly 100,000 homeless people and homeless people, and there was no shortage of treacherous people such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, but why can't they become a climate?

The main reason is that I not only settled everyone, selected loyal and righteous people to supplement the army, gave their families settling in allowances, and paid military salaries to buy food to eat, but also did everything possible to lend grain and provide cattle, so that everyone could have food, clothing, and houses to live in.

As long as we Chinese can survive, even if there are so-called traitors among them, who can rebel? Even if there is a rebellion, how can it succeed? ”

The deeds of Yang Xuan and the Loyal and Righteous Army on how to treat the prisoners and the displaced people have already spread, and everyone knows that what they say is the truth, and there is nothing to refute.

Yang Wei arched his hand and said: "My lord, I know that you are a loyal and righteous person, but many of our Great Western Army are lonely and helpless people, and now that the Qing Dynasty is invading, why don't the two sides stop their troops?" ”

Looking at the next Yang Wei, although he was tied up, he was quite big and quite alert, Yang Xuan nodded and said: "General Yang, I have always advocated joint resistance to the Qing Dynasty, you ask General Wang Zhibang, there are others, is this so?"

But you can also see how brutal your emperor is, killing seven or eight hundred scholars at once, although a few of them deserve to collude with the Barbarian Qing, but most of them are innocent.

And under your rule, the displaced people are everywhere, and the people are not able to make a living, just like the general just said that in some places people are starving to death.

It is not impossible for the two sides to join forces to resist the Qing Dynasty, but it is necessary to relieve the suffering of the common people under their rule and ensure the people's right to live. ”

Of course, Yang Wei and Wang Fuchen knew that several prefectures under the rule of the Great Western Army were defeated, and now when they heard each other's words, their expressions were quite gloomy, and for a while, the entire big tent actually seemed quite quiet.

Yang Xuan laughed a few times, got up from the table, personally untied the ropes on the two of them, and said: "I also believe in my words, I just said that as long as the two of you can say the corruption in person, you will immediately loosen the bindings for the two of you."

Although I didn't have any corruption, it was just because the income of the officials was too low, and the office expenses and examination fees were really helpless, and I just hoped to adjust the officials' salaries to a reasonable level.

Even so, if some shameless people use this as an excuse in the future, it will be a disaster for thousands of years to raise the income of officials without any reason.

General Wang was able to point out the disadvantages in the next moment, which is really rare, Yang Xuan is shameless, and now he thanks the general. ”

Wang Fuchen was shocked, hurried, and resigned again and again.

Yang Xuan sighed: "The two generals are both loyal and righteous people, although they follow Zhang Xianzhong, but it is only for the justice of the world, so that Li Min Qiantou can have something to eat."

In the next scholar, in the past few years of politics, what he has done is the same as that of the two generals.

If the two generals do not dislike it, they can temporarily commit themselves to our loyal and righteous army in order to jointly resist the Qing Dynasty in the future. ”

Wang Zhibang, a staff officer next to him, also admonished loudly: "Brother Yang, Brother Wang, although everyone is the main one, but the adult's personality, I think everyone knows it."

My lord is so polite and virtuous, I hope that the two brothers will not refuse. ”

Now that the Great Western Army has been weakened, the two of them have long had the intention of surrendering, and now seeing that Yang Xuan is so kind, they hurriedly knelt down and surrendered.

Yang Xuan was overjoyed and ordered him to gather people and select elites to reorganize his department.
