Chapter 773: Jiangyin resists the three princes of the Qing Dynasty
Feng Houdun replied: "Back to Your Highness, everyone in Jiangnan now reads the new 'Nanming' school, and the last official not only studies it seriously, but also discusses it with the scholars in the county school. Xinxue is broad and profound, covering a wide range of knowledge, all of which are highly practical knowledge, and the last official thought that it should be promoted in the Ming Dynasty. ”
It turns out that this person has long studied the "Nanming" textbook, and he should not be a sour Confucian, he is a national hero who has been proven by history, and his character is definitely fine, and he can be promoted to be an official.
Huang Sheng said with a smile: "Commander Feng, this king wants to invite you to serve in the 'Jiangyin Battalion' that is being prepared to be formed, and the position of deputy town magistrate of the Thousand Headquarters is very suitable for you to take up." I wonder if you'd like to? ”
Because there are too many scholars in Jiangnan who work in "Nanming", and the "Nanming" system is thoroughly understood by Jiangnan scholars, everyone knows that "Nanming" does not have the word "noble" and "martial".
The town magistrate of a battalion is from the third grade, if the job is transferred to a lower level of use, when you go to the place, you will be a master of Futai, and the deputy town magistrate of the thousand headquarters is the fifth grade, and when you change jobs, you will be a push official or a governor of the state.
King Nan suddenly gave himself the official position of the fifth rank and the opportunity to work for the "Nanming" who was in full swing, and the sudden good news made Feng Houdun stunned.
He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "It is an honor for His Highness to be cultivated, Xiaguan has read the books of sages since he was a child and knows how to be righteous and righteous, and he will fight for His Highness in all directions for the rest of his life, and he will never die." ”
Huang Sheng said: "Feng Xun doesn't need to be polite, your transfer is coordinated by Wei Guogong, and I hope you can find the marquis immediately." ”
Feng Houdun was even more excited, he refused to stand up and still kowtowed: "The lower official is grateful to be able to serve in His Highness's army, and I don't dare to hope that I will be crowned a marquis immediately, I only want to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”
Huang Sheng looked at the other officials from Jiangyin, and saw Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu looking at Feng Houdun with envy, and he knew it in his heart.
Said: "Yan Dianshi, President Chen, this king is going to let the two of you serve as the deputy general manager of the 'Jiangyin Battalion', I wonder if you are willing to come to 'Nanming' to serve?" ”
This is a joy from the sky! Although Yan Yingyuan was a little confused, he reacted very quickly and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Highness, 'Nanming' and Daming do not distinguish between each other, they dare to fight and are not afraid of death, and they are willing to open up territory for Nanming's bloody war." ”
Chen Mingyu was already trembling with excitement, and he trembled: "Your Highness is a small soldier in the line, and the lowly is stupid and speechless, and in the future, the only way to repay His Highness for knowing the situation is to fight hard to the death." ”
People gather by like, and the officials who are good friends with the "Jiangyin Anti-Qing Three Princes" must not be soft bones, Huang Sheng immediately asked Yan Yingyuan and the three of them to recommend some Jiangyin grassroots soldiers to join the "Jiangyin Battalion" to form a leadership team.
More than 200 officers and pacification officers of the "God of War" were sent to train this team, striving to form an army in half a year, so that they could try to catch up with the general battle to destroy the Manchus.
Yan Yingyuan and the others were extremely excited when they learned that the king of the south wanted them to hurry up and train their troops, and if they had time, they would transfer the "Jiangyin Battalion" to Liaodong to participate in the war.
Yan Yingyuan relied on his courage to come to the king of the south and saluted: "Your Highness, you have been training in Jiangyin for many years, these men know that they will cherish the opportunity to become a 'god of war' soldiers, and they will select thousands of people to train hard again, even if they are tired to death, they must win the opportunity to go to Liaodong to kill Jiannu, and it is not a problem for the 'Jiangyin Battalion' to pass the assessment in half a year." ”
"Nanming" has become a household name for treating soldiers, and it has become a thing of the past to be a good man and not a soldier, even the young and middle-aged people of the Ming Dynasty expect to join the "God of War" army and become a glorious soldier.
Yan Yingyuan has been training in the training regiment to train his arms, but he is suffering from a shortage of money, food, and weapons, and it is difficult for him to display his ambitions.
Today, he was entrusted with an important task by Nanwang, and he was about to receive a large amount of money, food, and weapons support, and there would also be officers who graduated from the "Nanming" Military Academy to assist in training; under such superior conditions, Yan Yingyuan, who could not train a battalion of regular troops in half a year, would probably be so ashamed that he would crash to death.
Huang Sheng looked at the national hero and said with a pleasant face: "This king believes in the children of Jiangyin, and I also believe that you will fight for the country and the nation. ”
Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu and other heroes have a lot of blood, and they knelt down and said: "Your Highness's love and humility are in mind, the 'Jiangyin Battalion' will definitely live up to expectations, and when you land in Liaodong, you will definitely kill Jiannu and bleed the pestle." ”
On the 81st day of Jiangyin, Huang Sheng was angry, Jiannu killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jiangyin who refused to surrender, and now history has been rewritten, Yan Yingyuan will take the "Jiangyin battalion" to cross the sea to Liaodong to massacre Jiannu.
After accepting the three princes of Jiangyin to resist the Qing Dynasty, Huang Sheng finally settled on his mind, and the fleet set sail to stay in the Wei Guogong Courtyard outside the Wangjiang Gate in Nanjing, and there was an endless stream of Ming civil officials and military generals who came to visit.
This is completely different from the previous Ming high-ranking officials who came here, none of them were forced to do so or reluctantly, all of them took the initiative to rush to pat the sycophants, everyone almost did their best, and the filial piety sent was of course more than the conventional.
Li Wenyou led the Beitongzhou chaebol to be generous, and more than 80 big families sent a total of 1.5 million silver coins, and the Yangzhou salt merchants were also unambiguous, with the Zheng family leading dozens of big salt merchants to collect 2 million silver coins, and many landlords and old fortunes came to help, and preliminary statistics showed that the wealth in hand would reach 10 million yuan in silver coins.
In fact, the economic development of the Ming Dynasty at this time was deformed, too many officials and eunuchs accumulated wealth for more than 200 years, and too many poor families had no rations.
For more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the wealth of the whole country is of course growing positively, silver, gold and other precious metals are showing an inflow, and the output of precious metals is also increasing year by year.
Less than one percent of the wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty have gathered a lot of wealth in their hands, and the total amount is more than 30 times that of the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Therefore, the Ming government had no money, and the big landlords and bureaucrats did not have too much money.
When a person is not short of money, money is at his fingertips, and Huang Sheng, who spent the New Year in Nanjing, has a deep experience.
Huang Sheng never showed an attitude of asking for bribes, but none of the Ming eunuchs who came to visit him came empty-handed, and they all carefully prepared generous gifts, and they also spoke in a high-sounding manner, so that Huang Sheng could not refuse corruption.
The officials who came and went were all on the grounds that the king of the south sent troops to Liaodong and was about to spend money on food and salary, and the gold and silver treasures sent were all the soldiers who let the king of the south reward the soldiers who fought for the country, which of course was not easy to refuse.
Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, who was so poor that he called on his ministers to help him, received very little. The rich King of Nan did not ask anyone for money at all, and the Ming Dynasty rushed to send money and grain.
In order to win people's hearts, Huang Sheng accepted all the filial piety and asked the interim secretary general Liu Ru to arrange for the secretaries to keep accounts carefully.
