Chapter 3 Plan ahead

Of course, Yang Zimo and others did not believe that Zheng Jue said that the world was about to be in chaos, but it was that the imperial court fought a few defeats in Liaodong and lost more than 100,000 people

The Ming Dynasty is not over, in the laughter of everyone, Zheng Jue began to deduce, when Zheng Jue finished analyzing the strength of the Ming Dynasty, everyone found that the entire north of the Yangtze River, or the entire Ming Dynasty, can not take out a few armies that can fight, only Wuchang's Zuo Liangyu should have tens of thousands of troops who can fight, the situation is indeed very dangerous. After listening to Zheng Jue's words and looking at the map on the wall, Yang Zimo and the others couldn't help but have a layer of fine sweat on their foreheads, and the wine also woke up for most of the time, they didn't know other places, what was the situation in Liangguang, they knew that if there were really Tartars or Liukou, the small-scale Wuzhou Wei was not afraid, but if the large-scale ones came to hundreds of thousands, I am afraid that no one in the entire Liangguang would be able to stop them.

"This Jue brother, since you were a child, you have always had a lot of ghost ideas, what to do this time, the brothers will listen to you" The other people also echoed, they didn't know if they didn't look at it, they were startled when they saw it, the armament was empty, and after the Songjin War, most of the nine sides were empty, and all the people present were soldiers, and they knew what this meant

Zheng Jue took out a map of Wuzhou, "Come, brothers, look here, here are mountains on three sides and a large wasteland in the south, if it is reclaimed, there will be at least tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and this mountain is under a piece, the terrain is dangerous, as the so-called advance can be attacked and retreated, and now I have a recipe bought from foreigners, which can be burned into a thing, when burned out like fine sand, it will turn into mud when it meets water, and it will be as hard as a rock when it is dry, and it is very easy to burn, brothers to see who will go to run first" Zheng Jue looked at everyone Yang Zimo volunteered to stand up

patted his chest and assured Zheng Jue, "Brother, you leave it to me, this thing will definitely be done beautifully."

Zheng Jue motioned for him to sit down, "There is one more thing, that is, we need a lot of manpower now, I heard that there are a lot of refugees in the north of Wuzhou, I will pay for it, and the brothers will send someone to invite some to come, as long as you have the strength and willingness to work, your body is fine, the more the better!" Which of our brothers is going to do this? Zheng Jue looked at it and stood up alone, the memory fragment in Zheng Jue's mind was called Lin Shimo, their family was mainly responsible for logistics and the like in the guard, and when there was no war, it was also the clearest way to take care of his family's affairs, and Zheng Jue handed over this matter to him

"Okay, there's one more thing, Ze Sheng, you've been wandering around here for a long time, you gather all the craftsmen you can find here now to the guard, mainly firearms and iron, and tell them that the salary is high!" In Zheng Jue's memory, this person is a relatively mixed son, the family has a hereditary position of 100 households, and there are also a large group of fox friends and dog friends from Wuzhou City, so Zheng Jue asked him to do this, which can be regarded as a professional counterpart

"There is nothing else to do, the rest of the brothers, step up the training, Ze Sheng, Shi Mo, the soldiers under the two of you, follow Zimo to the new guard to build a workshop, and wait until the people recruited by Shi Mo come back, and they will withdraw "That's it, the banquet stopped, and a few people left, after all, they had something to do the next day, and a few people who were okay stayed at Zheng Jue's house and didn't leave, but Zheng Jue didn't go crazy with them, but used tomorrow to discuss something important with Steward Wang, and accompanied everyone with tea instead of wine for another night

The next day, Zheng Jue climbed out of the few people who drank like dead dogs, and called Steward Wang out, "Uncle Wang, I have some high-yield rice bought from Siam here, but the quantity is not much, see if you can find a few to plant this bag first, I want to plant it on a large scale next year" Zheng Jue glanced at Steward Wang, this kind of rice has a high yield, and it is estimated that it will be almost left for planting dozens of acres

"Young master, this is not a seed handed down from the ancestors, the farmers are afraid that they don't want to plant it" Zheng Jue didn't expect this stubble and didn't dare to plant it, but it was also easy to do, "Uncle Wang, you tell them that our family will take care of the rations for this year, and our family will buy all the food planted this year, so we should give a benefit to the villagers."

Zheng Jue thought about it, and it didn't cost much to buy food, so he hurriedly left enough seeds, don't wait for the Qing soldiers to enter the customs Listening to Zheng Jue say this, it is not easy to persuade anything, anyway, the young master is not stupid, just follow what he said

When Zheng Jue went home, he happened to see Lin Shimo who was about to leave, Zheng Jue left him for a while, handed him a document, and asked him to hand it over to the commander when he went to Wuzhou City.

Everyone moved, Yang Zimo built a few cement workshops in front of several mountains, Zheng Jue asked Yang Zimo to make some masks for the soldiers, the first batch of cement in the Ming Dynasty was made, the cost is indeed not high, all can be made of local materials, the speed can not be slow, Zheng Jue was relieved at first glance and asked Qian Zeren to find someone to draw a map, according to the scale of Wuzhou City to draw a general design of an urban area, and made improvements to some unreasonable places, Yang Zimo was startled, such a big city, cement was built at this speed, You'll have to take your time, at least for more than a year

Zheng Jue watched the first batch of cement in the new city slowly burned out, and his heart slowly let go, just waiting for the people of Shimo to come back, and immediately began to expand the scale and start work with all his might, just when Zheng Jue was waiting for Shimo to come back at home, suddenly Wuzhou City came and asked him to go to Wuzhou City for a meeting quickly, without delay, otherwise the military law would be engaged, the first time he received this kind of order Zheng Jue did not dare to delay, and went north to Wuzhou City, Zheng Jue had already guessed in his heart, it may be that the news of Li Zicheng's invasion of Beijing has reached Wuzhou, It's time for Zheng Jue to decide the future of Wuzhou City, Zheng Jue doesn't know what the outcome of this Wuzhou City meeting will be, so he brought thirty personal soldiers to Wuzhou to the north, just in case, to prevent them from eating black, and prepare first
