Chapter 89: Crisis
The two were arrogant and unreasonable, and they demanded that the loyal army return to Shun Daxi within a time limit, and no matter how bad it was, they needed to hand over the official seal of the Ming Dynasty and disassociate themselves from the Ming Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone was angry at each other, and some even made sarcastic remarks, the two were Ming officials in the past, why are they oppressing everyone now?
Yang Xuan disagreed, he smiled, and asked people to take out the Pengzhou Zhizhou seal ribbon and the Qianzong seal ribbon, and then handed it to the two of them, so that they would stop.
Seeing Shi Jinchen, Chen Yingrui and others leave complacently, everyone showed anger one by one, and Yang Xuan smiled: "Everyone, as the saying goes, wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha is in the heart." The same goes for this ribbon, what is the big deal if we give them the ribbon, we can engrave one when the time comes. ”
Tang Jietai shook his head and said, "My lord, this, is this okay?" ”
Yang Xuan laughed and said: "Why can't this work, when the time comes, you can carve one, as long as everyone admits it, as long as the people recognize it, what's the big deal?" ”
Seeing that Yang Xuan's whole person seemed to be casual, everyone looked at each other suspiciously, laughed one by one, and stopped talking.
Yang Xuan issued a gag order, on the one hand, prohibiting everyone from talking about the seal, and on the other hand, he asked Tang Jietai to be responsible for carving the relevant seals.
When everyone saw Yang Xuan like this, they didn't speak.
Back in the back hall, Yang Xuan felt particularly troubled, fiddling with the bird gun around him, the bird gun is the arquebus mentioned in the previous life, and the Chinese people like to call it the bird gun.
History seems to have been replaced by flintlock pistols, a few days ago I accidentally saw the Ming Dynasty Bi Maokang wrote the "Weapon Illustration" has such a pattern, there is also such a manufacturing instructions, but also let Chen Huaixi take the craftsmen to make.
But craftsmanship requires a lot of experience, and even if there are drawings, even if there are manufacturing instructions, it will take a long time to actually complete the manufacture of flintlock pistols, let alone large-scale assembly of troops.
Holding the bird gun, Yang Xuan pondered while conducting a simple aiming and shooting drill.
After touching it, Yang Xuan felt that something was wrong, why was it that in less than two or three days, this gunpowder was damp again? Sichuan is located in a basin, and the weather is particularly humid all year round, and this gunpowder will be damp in a few days.
A little gunpowder was dipped in his hand, and the gunpowder was visibly damp and stuck together. If you want to avoid the gunpowder from getting wet, you need to avoid the gunpowder coming into contact with the outside air if there are many gaps between the gunpowder.
In the previous life, it seems that the fire projectile and the ****** were packed in the same paper tube, and the paper tube was torn (bitten) during loading, and the ****** and projectile were loaded into the chamber of the gun, which not only simplified the loading process, but also ensured the quantitative loading of the ******, but this did not seem to prevent the gunpowder from getting wet.
Yang Xuan thought about it, it seems that paper bullets have been promoted, but at least they can greatly speed up the launch speed, and there was already a prototype of paper bullets in the period of Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the gunpowder was wrapped and put into the bamboo tube first, and the paper bullets did not need to use bamboo tubes, first wrapped the gunpowder and sticky lead pellets in kraft paper bags, and when firing, the kraft paper was bitten, the gunpowder was poured first, and then the lead pellets and kraft paper were put in, and then the fire was fired.
When it comes to the trick of release, it used to be:
One wash, two medicine, three medicine, four lead, five lead, six paper, seven paper, eight open doors, nine medicine, ten press the fire rope, eleven listen to the order to open the fire door, press the fire rope is seven words, not conducive to memory.
Now it is changed to: one wash, two medicine, three lead, four paper, five tamping, six opening the door, seven medicine, eight pressing the fire rope, and nine fire.
In this way, paper bullets greatly simplify the firing process, and in the past only two lead bullets can be fired in 1 minute, after using paper bullets, it can be fired twice.
Although paper bullets cannot completely avoid the dampness of gunpowder, this kind of thing needs to be done slowly, anyway, things have been around for so many years, and it is not said that it can be solved by solving it.
Yang Xuan thought about it, and called the chief with Wang Gao and asked him to lead a team to secretly experiment, and then promote it when the time was ripe.
Just breathed a sigh of relief, there was a rush of footsteps from the side compartment, Wang Ying walked in front, and Huang Daiyun pulled and admonished.
The two of them probably stayed in the side compartment for a long time, and only came over when they saw that business was over.
Huang Daiyun flashed to the front and asked: "My lord, alas, the housekeeper said that the lord just held a banquet to entertain the envoys of the Great Western Army, and the official made a wish, it stands to reason that the lord should be happy."
Why do adults have sad faces, as if they owe money to others? ”
Standing up with a wry smile, watching the two of them sit down, walking and walking, Yang Xuan suddenly stopped and said, "Madam, as long as I am sad, do I owe money to others?"
Fiddling with the hair on her forehead, Huang Daiyun said uneasily: "The concubine listens to what people say, and adults have a great sense of fame, and every time they encounter something unhappy in the past, it is like this. ”
Yang Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to say something, when Wang Ying next to him shouted: "My lord, tell me, is it that Zhang Xianzhong, the old thief, is not satisfied, and you are sad alone?" ”
Smiling embarrassedly, Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "I didn't declare a decree at all, so I sent it away." ”
Wang Ying fiddled with her hair with both hands, and asked for a long time, "My lord, will you really surrender to him?" ”
Walking over and touching the other party's cheek, and then putting his hand on the other party's shoulder, Yang Xuan sighed.
After the successive defeats of Yao Huang, although the pressure on the north has decreased sharply, the tiger in front and the wolf in the back are now facing the more powerful Great Western Army.
Yao Tiandong's local tyrant in the north, Zhang Nengqi, the general of Daxi Dingbei, stationed in Baoning Mansion in the west, Shunqing Mansion in the south, and Liu Tingju, the governor of the Daxi Army, stationed in Chongqing Mansion in the northeast, are strong enemies on all sides, and the pressure can be imagined.
In addition, the situation in the five counties under his rule is a mess, and the situation in the three counties of Pengzhou has been restored for more than four months, and the situation is slightly better, but the situation in the newly recovered Da County and Dongxiang County is a mess.
The remnants of the local rioters are entrenched in some cottages, and sometimes even move around to fight against the newly formed local grassroots organizations.
Fan Mingshan, Liu Weiming, Yang Risheng, Wang Guangxian, and others consumed a lot of money and grain to suppress the bandits, and the food consumption of the thousands of displaced people to be resettled was also very large.
In previous years, these big families might have given some food to charity, but now they are all worried, who would want to set up a porridge shack?
In the face of all kinds of crises, some people suggested sending heavy troops to suppress them, after all, many thieves have been thieves for many years and will never be constrained by the government.
In the face of local riots and rogues, where to go?
In the previous life, it was said that it was three points military and seven points political? Dealing with rogues and local tyrants, there was too much experience in the previous life.
When Yang Xuan returned to Xiangru County, various measures to suppress bandits had been initially implemented.
For example, the establishment of grassroots rural organizations will extend the tentacles of the government to the villages.
In each township, more than 100 villagers were trained, and although these villagers were killed a little bit in battle, they were still quite effective in ventilating and reporting information and preventing the looting of local mobs.
Implement new policies, especially household registers and ID cards, to prevent thieves from escaping.
Resettle the displaced people and carry out farming, so that those who have been coerced to see hope.
Calling on large households to set up porridge sheds in the local area to provide relief to the displaced people.
………
But all this needs food, and Daxian and Dongxiang counties have been making local riots since the twelfth year of Chongzhen, and it has been five or six years now, the land is deserted, there are many displaced people, and there are many unscrupulous people in the local area who collude with the local rioters, and it is even more difficult to quell the local bandits in the short term.
