Lu Xiangsheng frowned and watched as the entire team of soldiers got out of the carriage.
The carriage style is very good-looking, the streamlined body, each car is pulled by four horses, the state of the horse is very good, and Yusheng has an endless supply of horses, so they use the horses as well as possible, and the quartermaster department takes good care of the horses, each one is fat and strong, even if it is not a good breed of horse, it is much better than the ordinary people from the appearance.
The car was not large, it could seat eight to ten people per car, and on one side of the carriage was an iron-clad compartment that could block bows and arrows, and on the other side was a door and a small glass window, through which people could faintly see the inside through the foggy green glass, and they saw the soldiers in gray robes sitting upright, and then they were seen to open the door to get out of the car.
Each soldier and Yusheng wear the same gray military robe, copper buckle, military standard, military cap, military boots, cowhide belt crossed on the body and then to the waist, the belt is very tight, with the long military boots show the soldier's figure and highlight the fierce atmosphere.
On the belt hung boxes and boxes filled with gunpowder, as well as kettles, lunch boxes, knives and other odd and scattered items.
Behind them are backpacks, these soldiers have just been transferred, and they have not yet lived in a fixed barracks, so they carry a lot of belongings with them.
Each soldier carried a musket and a bayonet hanging from his waist.
After the First Battle of the Thirteen Mountains, the bayonet phalanx was truly tested in actual combat, and the test proved that the bayonet phalanx was very effective and useful as a supplement to the array. Now that the soldiers who went out on missions were given priority to be replenished, the soldiers who were resting on the steppe had to wait a little longer.
The Ordnance Bureau will work overtime every day, mobilize more manpower to sharpen bayonets, and replenish all combat troops as soon as possible.
As soon as the men got out of the car, they lined up in a horizontal line, their heads held high, and their eyes stared straight ahead.
At the end of the line, a soldier wearing a squad sergeant wore a stalk around his waist, the standard ration only for soldiers.
After the first battle of the Thirteen Mountains, the soldiers as a supplement to the soldiers were more and more valued, although many of the soldiers were older, in the initial recruitment was swept down from the war team, but more soldiers in the initial recruitment was clearly a supplement to the soldiers, now it seems that the soldiers are a little less intense training, but in fact it is also very useful, now the military division from Li Zhuang and the grassland to mobilize some excellent soldiers, in peacetime to strengthen the training and control of the soldiers, and continue to use the soldiers to perform well in the supplement into the ranks of the soldiers, At the same time, it is also a kind of tempering for these soldiers.
Each of the soldiers who were sent abroad was given the rank of sergeant, and they were tempered and gained a lot of experience.
When He Yusheng's soldiers got out of the car and lined up, everyone present couldn't look anywhere else.
The number of soldiers with a dozen or so was not large, but everyone present felt a sense of oppression and threat.
Of course, this is also their psychological effect, and Yusheng's military discipline is extremely strict, almost no matter how hostile to Yusheng, people have to admit this, the military discipline of this army is higher than that of the Ming army, but there is a strange thing, the more the status of the Ming scholars, the more they feel threatened by this army, the lower the status of the people, after a short period of time together, the favorability of this army will rise significantly.
Lu Xiangsheng frowned, the attitude of the imperial court towards He Yusheng has been very obvious recently, mainly squeezing and restricting.
The relatives on the other side of Henan have already expressed a very obvious attitude, as long as He Yusheng dares to cross the river, Zhang Han will definitely lose all his blood.
Of course, this is just a private word, Zhang Han has just made a great contribution, the emperor has ordered the cabinet and other relevant departments to discuss the reward to Zhang Han, of course, not because of the merit of seizing Qingcheng, but the war under Yulin City and the great merit of helping Liao Town to transport grain and grass, and the battle under the thirteen mountains is also a merit, adding up the merits, Zhang Han will be rewarded, although he is young today, there is still a little bit of belly.
Lu Xiangsheng didn't do anything in the Daimyo's Mansion, but it didn't prevent him from showing his attitude.
With an attitude of opposition to the expansion of the Daimyo Mansion with Yusheng, if possible, the local government can also take some "small actions", such as fighting a few times, or not renting a house, recovering the property in advance, etc., it should be very easy for the gentry from all over the country to deal with foreign merchants...... However, so far it has not worked well.
Exclusion does not have much effect, and Yusheng system has just entered the Daimyo Mansion not long ago, a large number of high-quality and inexpensive iron is still impacting the original market of the Daimyo Mansion, the people are too short of iron, the first two years many businessmen began to sell iron from Beijing and Yusheng, and there are also people in Zhangjiakou or Dezhou, but the distance is too far, the amount of Jingshi is insufficient, after all, the Beijing Division corresponds to the entire northern market, and the Jiubian Military Town has consumed a lot of iron and raw iron, it is because of the lack of production, in Zunhua to reopen the iron field and set up a new blast furnace, This year's output has really risen, and a large number of them can be from Zhending Daimyo to the border of Henan.
Even at the current level of production, it will be several years before iron is truly saturated in the northern market.
At that time, it is also possible to open up the markets in southern Shaanxi and Sichuan, and go to the southwest through other trade routes.
It is also possible to cross the river to the south of the Yangtze River, which should rely on shipping to open up new markets and rely on the vertical and horizontal rivers of the south of the Yangtze River to carry out.
These should be plans after three or five years, at present, the iron produced by Heyusheng is still in short supply, mainly a large number of iron tools are exported to the Japanese country, and from the Japanese country to the South Seas, the entire Nanyang countries and Japan, iron tools are extremely scarce.
Under the premise of higher profits, and Yusheng is sure to guarantee exports, and domestic trade is far from saturated.
Lu Xiangsheng's brows furrowed and relaxed...... He also had no choice, the magistrate was very clear about the lack of iron among the people, and unless the imperial court strictly ordered to prevent the caravan of Heyusheng from entering, the magistrate could not do anything at all.
Compared with a few large gentry who wanted to make a difference in politics, the small and medium-sized gentry, merchants, and ordinary people were extremely welcome and promoted.
"I've seen the prefect." A shopkeeper from He Yusheng hurriedly walked over, and Lu Xiangsheng noticed that this was another very young shopkeeper, that is, in his twenties.
"I am the branch director of the Daimyo Mansion of Hutchison Company," the young shopkeeper knelt down and saluted with a smile, and said: "The surname is Xu Mingrui, and I have seen the prefect." ”
"You are Xu Xiaoqi." Lu Xiangsheng made a shouting gesture and said, "Was it in the old mansion of the Fang Pavilion?" ”
"It's Xu Xiaoqi down there." Xu Rui got up and said with a smile: "I did serve Xiangye for a while." ”
"Is it okay for Fang Ge Lao to be in his hometown?"
"I heard that Xiang Ye climbs mountains and fishes every day in addition to reading, and he has a very comfortable life." Fang Congzhe will not die in more than three years, and between his death, Daming is still calm, although there are many hidden worries, but this former prime minister has seen too many ups and downs, Fang Congzhe is no longer worried about state affairs, and he has spent his days leisurely.
"It's enviable." Lu Xiangsheng sighed with emotion, and then said to Xu Xiaoqi: "Today's incident was provoked by you and Yusheng, how do you think it can be solved?" ”
Xu Xiaoqi said with a smile on his face: "I don't dare to take this as an adult, if the thief doesn't rob Heyusheng, he will also think about robbing other families, under the rule of adults, which one is a good thing to rob?" From another point of view, it's good to rob us and Yusheng, the thief was beaten away, if other families may have succeeded, and kill people and goods, spread the word, it is not good for the official reputation of adults. ”
A semicolon director, that is, a branch shopkeeper-like figure, was neither humble nor arrogant to a big man like Lu Xiangsheng, and talked eloquently, and seized the loopholes in Lu Xiangsheng's words to fight back.
Lu Xiangsheng was still very young, and his face showed obvious anger.
Before the other party got angry, Xu Xiaoqi hurriedly said: "But adults don't have to worry, Yusheng and I have always taken it as our duty to stabilize the place, and I heard that Lord Shicai has already had a way to deal with it, no matter what, we will cooperate." ”
……
After two quarters of an hour of preparation, Shi Kefa went to replace the hostages, Lu Xiangsheng and one of his subordinates were very good at shooting, the two changed their robes and prepared bows and arrows, and the third archer was He Yusheng sent the soldier Sergeant Gunner.
The sergeant brought two more guns, and he said very succinctly: "If the bow and arrow miss, these two can make up for it." ”
Lu Xiangsheng didn't mind, he was actually really interested in these soldiers.
Of course, he also has absolute confidence in his archery skills, Lu Xiangsheng is tall and thin, and his complexion is very white, which is clearly recorded in history.
But he is also the best at riding and archery among the officials and bigwigs in the late Ming Dynasty, and the one with the highest personal martial arts.
After the formation of the Tianxiong Army, Lu Xiangsheng charged forward every time he fought, wielding a knife and slashing and riding a horse to shoot was a first-class master. Among the officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty, only Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng had their own soldiers, so it was very easy for the two to command the generals, one was the ability and personal charm, plus the officialdom power and status, and the other was that they had their own team, which was not easy to be controlled by the generals.
And a governor-level official with his own team and superb martial arts, then there is only Lu Xiangsheng.
In Lu Xiangsheng's own words, he has not tasted defeat after dozens of battles, and this achievement was unsurprising in the chaotic battlefield of the late Ming Dynasty.
"It's about to begin." Lu Xiangsheng reminded the soldier gunner.
He looked at Yusheng's gunners for a while, these gunners were almost the same outfit, except that the one with the head had the rank of sergeant, which was an obvious copper logo, and the man's big hat was red, and the military pants were blue, which was obviously different from the all-gray of the soldiers.
"It seems that this is He Yusheng's elite soldiers." Lu Xiangsheng thought about it.
He was very impressed by these soldiers, everyone had a little tired on their faces when they just got off the car, but soon they formed a line array, more than a dozen people quickly deployed, and the fire guns were taken off and leaned forward to prepare tightly, and everyone did not look nervous, and their expressions were very calm.
