Chapter Ninety-Eight: Dividing Liaodong
At this time, it has been ten days since the Qing army was expelled from the Guanwai, and in the Qianqing Hall of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Su was rarely accompanied by Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen.
"Hong Chengchou asked the imperial court to send reinforcements?"
"Wait for Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu to repair for another three days, and then send them to Hubei to destroy Gao Yingxiang in one fell swoop!"
"Sun Chengzong sang Zu Dashou to hold on to the mountain city of Nanhan to repel Huang Taiji, so that the Qing army has withdrawn from Korea, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry has invaded the Qing Dynasty, killing more than 6,000 Manchurians and killing tens of thousands of cattle and sheep?"
"Yes, yes, I will allocate one million taels of silver and three million stones of potatoes from my inner treasury as a reward, Huachun, you will personally go for me, go to Liaodong to reward the three armies, and let the monarchs of Liaodong know my grace!" Yang Su suddenly raised his head and ordered Cao Huachun.
Potatoes have a very short shelf life, and they will sprout if they are not eaten properly, and they will be poisoned when they are eaten. Yang Suhuangzhuang has planted 20,000 hectares of potatoes, the harvest reached more than 85 million stones, when the Qing soldiers besieged Beijing, Yang Su collected millions of people near Jinggi into the city, this year because the people lack oil and water, and most of them have the habit of practicing martial arts, especially the martial artists in the realm of practicing tendons can eat dozens of catties of food per person per day, but if you want to eat these tens of millions of stone potatoes, it is also unlikely, Yang Su is naturally willing to take it out as a reward.
"The slave and maid obey the order, and the slave and maid will personally send the emperor's reward to the Liaodong soldiers!" Cao Huachun responded.
It's just that Wang Chengen looked up at Yang Su, with an inexplicable hesitation on his face.
Seeing this, Yang Su pointed at Wang Chengen and scolded with a smile: "You old slave, if you have anything to say directly, can I still blame you?" ”
Wang Chengen smiled: "Your Majesty, the slave heard that the potatoes are cut into pieces according to the sprouts, and then they can be planted."
Nowadays, many people are asking how to get potatoes as seeds on a large scale! When the Qing army besieged the capital, the rations were distributed daily, and at that time, some people bought potatoes from the people at a high price in Beijing, but there was a strict decree of the emperor, and the potatoes issued to the people were boiled potatoes, so there were not many potatoes exposed.
If the emperor gives Liaodong two million potatoes, I'm afraid he won't be able to control it anymore! If it's just me planting for the people, it's okay, but when the potatoes are harvested, the Qing Dynasty wanted to buy potatoes as seeds through Miss Lin, and Liaodong is adjacent to the Qing Dynasty, so the Qing Dynasty will definitely be able to get potatoes, and the slaves will be ...... at that time."
"Oh, the Qing Dynasty actually wants to buy potatoes?" Yang Su asked in surprise.
"Yes, I learned the news from Miss Lin at the time, of course Miss Lin couldn't give potatoes to the Qing Dynasty, so she asked people to reply and resign, and the slave thought that this was not a big deal, and the emperor was in retreat every day at that time, so he didn't tell the emperor." Wang Chengen explained.
In those days, Yang Su was out of his body every day, and he did tell Wang Chengen that there was nothing important to disturb him.
"Sell it to them! You can sell as much as they want! Yang Su said suddenly.
Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, looked at Yang Su in disbelief, and then nodded: "The slave obeys the order!" ”
Yang Su smiled incomprehensibly: "The potatoes were given to me by God, and the Qing Dynasty got them, and he couldn't grow them without my permission!" You can sell it to them! ”
When Wang Chengen thought of this, he was also overjoyed: "Why did the slave forget that this potato is a sacred object obtained by the emperor, how can the Qing Dynasty grow it." ”
He asked again: "Your Majesty, there are still many people in the court who also want to buy potatoes, in this case, should the emperor also sell them some seeds at a high price?" ”
Yang Su pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It's not proper, if that's the case, it's me Daming who will be damaged in the end!" After the Qing Dynasty planted potatoes, they passed on my decree that potatoes should not be planted privately without my permission, otherwise they will be punished by God! ”
Potatoes are systematically produced hybrid seeds, and the higher the yield of the first generation, the lower the second generation, and if it continues to be grown, it will lead to a serious reduction in the yield of the next generation. Yang Sucai was not afraid that the Qing Dynasty would take it to plant, but wished that the Qing Dynasty would plant potatoes on the land, and there would definitely be a famine in the Qing Dynasty next year.
Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen both looked at Yang Su with reverence when they heard this, Yang Su has been described by Xiao Ming and others as the lord of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty by virtue of the killing of Kou Shou Lao Huihui, Luo Rucai, and the potato harvest, and the prestige brought by the recent three great victories over the Qing army in Xincheng, Liaodong, and Korea, and he has been described by Xiao Ming and others as the master of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, and he frantically advocates Yang Su's sage in the Ming Daily every day.
Nowadays, not only the people of Limin, but also many scholars firmly believe that the day of the revival of the Ming Dynasty is not far away, and the power of propaganda can be seen!
"Zu Dashou has meritorious service in defending the city, and I want him to be the governor of North Korea, and to fight for the prime minister of North Korea, and the official rank is the second grade! In the future, the political affairs of North Korea will belong to North Korea, and the military affairs will belong to my Ming Dynasty, and the 30,000 Liaodong Army under his command will be stationed in North Korea in the future, and my Ming Dynasty will give half of the military expenses to North Korea. Sun Chengzong has meritorious service in guarding Liaodong, plus a young master! Then ordered Sun Chengzong to train the four guards from the people of Liaodong to guard Liaodong, and transferred Wu Xiang, the general of Jinzhou, to lead the deputy general Zu Dabi and the general Wu Sangui of the right battalion of the forward, and led 20,000 Guanning iron horsemen to enter the pass, and assisted Lu Xiangsheng to suppress the thieves! Yang Su said again.
"Slave and maid! This is up to the Cabinet to draw up the order. Cao Huachun said.
Liaodong has always been the object of Chongzhen's vigilance, and Cao Wenzhao led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to suppress the thieves, and then transferred Zu Dale and Zu Kuan into the customs, all of which were Chongzhen's excuses to weaken the strength of Liaodong.
Ordered Zu Dashou to guard North Korea, and then transferred Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou to Guannei, plus the troops of Zu Dale and Zu Kuan, who had already listened to Lu Xiangsheng's orders, Liaodong's strength has been weakened to the extreme.
Lu Xiangsheng also has the strength to subdue the proud soldiers of Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng is a literati who is more like a martial artist than a martial artist, and the army always looks at the strength to speak, and can personally go into battle to kill the enemy King Lu Yan, compared with the rest of the commanders, it is more convincing to the soldiers.
At that time, Zu Dale and Zu Kuan were arrogant and abnormal when they first entered the customs, burning down the houses where the soldiers and horses passed, raping ** women, Lu Xiangsheng persuaded again and again, and obeyed orders! When Lu Xiangsheng returned to Hong Chengchou after his death, Hong Chengchou could not resist him, so he could only behead Zu Kuan.
Handing over this group of arrogant soldiers in Liaodong to Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Su was very relieved.
At this time, another chamberlain came to whisper a few words in front of Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen immediately asked Yang Su: "Your Majesty, Gao Qiqian and Gao Gonggong have returned to Beijing, and now they have gone outside the palace." ”
"Go and tell him to see him!" Yang Sudao.
Wang Chengen was ordered to withdraw from the hall, and then sneaked into the hall with Gao Qi.
"Slaves and maids are high and diving to participate in the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!" Gao Qiqian knelt on the ground and saluted Yang Su.
"Let's get flat!" Yang Sudao.
"Slave and maid, thank the emperor for his grace!" Gao Qiqian stood up and stood respectfully behind Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen.
"Gao Qiqian: In the past few months, you led the forbidden army south to the south of the Yangtze River, first conquered the Liukou, and then fought against the Qing army, and won several battles, among which you have a lot of credit. I didn't have a reward, are you complaining about me in your heart? Yang Su squinted his eyes and asked with a smile on Gao Qi.
