Although Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou both belong to the Donglin Party, but the two are completely different, there must be differences in political opinions, in order to deal with the eunuch party, the Donglin Party is united, and now the biggest enemy has disappeared, and the demands within the Donglin Party have begun to differ, which makes the two disagree on some issues.

"Dahong, why don't we start with the rule of officials, as for the collection of commercial taxes, apportionment into acres, etc., we will gradually implement it, how about it?" Zuo Guangdou suggested.

For Zuo Guangdou's attitude, Yang Lian was inevitably disappointed, he said helplessly: "Rectifying the rule of officials is the matter of the Inspectorate, as the imperial history of Zuodu, I have an unshirkable responsibility, after dealing with the matter here, I will go to the Hebei Domain Division to assist Huang Futai in dealing with the affairs of Hebei." ”

"Da Hong, I understand what you mean, but you and I only want to be worthy of the sky and not to the ground." Zuo Guangdou looked at Yang Lian and said sincerely.

"I was born in poverty, since childhood in the school, Wanli twenty-six autumn, the imperial examination failed, once because of poverty almost died, only to understand that the people's suffering is not like the imperial court whitewashed, Wanli thirty-two years, I to'legacy 'in the Huguang Domain Division forty-sixth, from that day I said to myself to the prosperity of the empire, the livelihood of the people as their own responsibility, never flatter the powerful. From the thirty-second year of Wanli to the fifth year of the Apocalypse, I can proudly say that I, Yang Lian, have never done a thing that violates conscience and morality. Yang Lian's voice was not loud, but he spoke impassionedly.

"Da Hong, I just mean that there are some things that need to be considered in the long run." Zuo Guangdou said.

"You are the Futai of Shaanxi, and the matter of Shaanxi is naturally up to you, and I will definitely do my best to assist from the side. Rectify the matter of the rule of officials, at most three months, I will return you a clear Shaanxi. Yang Lian said with an oath.

"Fuqiu has thanked Brother Da Hong here." Zuo Guangdou said sincerely.

……

Yang Lian is resolute and resolute, and in the anti-corruption storm in Shaanxi, the entire Shaanxi officialdom is in a hurry for a while, even if the New Year is approaching, the entire Shaanxi officialdom has no intention of celebrating the New Year. Of course, Yang Lian is not as ruthless as Zhu Youxiao, most of the corrupt officials have been exiled, and only a few people have been beheaded, and the prince of Shaanxi has become very honest in this anti-corruption storm after the prince of Shanxi was cut down.

Zuo Guangdou also learned from Shanxi to promote some people from the officials, and then asked a group of people from the officials to serve as officials in Shanxi. He was very supportive of Shaanxi **** Youxiao, and he even sent a reporter from the "Ming Imperial Daily" to follow up and report on this matter.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao decided to set up imperial historical platforms in the prefectures and counties of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and that the imperial historical platforms in various localities were under the direct jurisdiction of the Inspectorate, and the yamen in various localities had no right to interfere in the work of the imperial historical platforms. Zhu Youxiao's decision was supported and cooperated by Yang Lian, and he even suggested that the Imperial History Observatory be set up all over the country. Zhu Youxiao considered that this matter was widely implicated, and decided to move forward step by step.

……

Shaanxi is now mobilizing the begging army.

"In history, there was an army also called the Begging Army, although they were completely composed of displaced people at that time, but they were recognized as the most fierce and powerful peasant army in Chinese history, why did the Beggar Army have such a high evaluation? Then there is only one point, the beggar army is not afraid of death. Zhu Youxiao said loudly to the 50,000 beggars.

"Begging, as the name suggests, begging for life to protect oneself in troubled times, its tragic and miserable situation can be seen. At that time, it was in the period of the Wuhu Rebellion, the Han people were almost about to lose the country and extinct the species, the surviving refugees in the north in order to survive, they formed a begging army, in the face of the enemy, there was only one thought in their hearts: the enemy died and I lived, so they could make the enemy frightened, in order to be invincible, invincible, and the king of martial mourning, Ran Min, was born in the beggar army. ”

"Many of you can be said to have been the scum of the Empire, useless, and even a party to the disaster, but after more than a year of training, you have now officially become a soldier of the Empire, but whether you are a qualified soldier still needs to be tested on the battlefield. I ask you not to insult the words 'beggar army'. ”

"After the New Year, you are about to go to the battlefield, I want you to show the determination not to be afraid of death, this battle is not allowed to be defeated, on the battlefield, I allow you to use any means, I only ask for results." Zhu Youxiao emphasized loudly.

……

After talking to the beggar army, Zhu Youxiao found Sun Chuanting again: "After pacifying this place, I decided to set up the Chengdu Governor's Mansion to govern the military of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Tibet and the five provinces of Myanmar and Laos. ”

"No. The ministers will fully assist the Qin Governor to complete the reorganization of the army. Sun Chuanting said.

"This matter must be kept absolutely secret until Meng Mi and Meng Yang are pacified." Zhu Youxiao emphasized.

"I understand." Sun Chuanting nodded and said.

After seeing the beggar army, Zhu Youxiao went out of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau. Now the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau is trying to make rifled guns at the request of Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, the rate of scrap in the production of rifled barrels is extremely high and extremely time-consuming, and it takes dozens of times more time to produce a rifled barrel than it takes to produce an ordinary barrel, and it costs several times more money than to produce an ordinary barrel." Bi Maokang said.

It is not difficult to produce rifled barrels, but the difficulty is that it is now all done by hand.

"How about the production of ammunition?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"As long as the production process is understood, the production of such ammunition is not a problem." Bi Maokang said.

"Come with me to try out the gun." Zhu Youxiao said.

This test gun was personally tried by Bi Maokang, who had been in the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau for a long time, and had also practiced his first-hand pistol skills well. The distance of the first shot was 100 steps, the distance of the second shot was 200 steps, and the distance of the third shot was 300 steps.

"Can you hit a target four hundred paces away?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's question, Bi Maokang was also stunned, he could hit a target 300 steps away, which was several times higher than the range of the previous flintlock pistol, was Zhu Youxiao still not satisfied?

Bi Maokang didn't dare to think about it, he replied: "Four hundred steps away, it will be difficult to hit the target. However, once this gun is equipped with an army on a large scale, 10,000 people can sweep the world. ”
