Chapter 120: The Expedition
Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies pursued the military merit grant system, after these years of development, the military households divided the land, which has the military merit field and the pension field of the soldiers have evolved from the Ming Dynasty untouchables to the military landlords, they are Chen Wen's largest supporter group, following Chen Wen step by step to recover half of the south of the Yangtze River, but also of course get the most generous treatment.
Military households are exempt from the Ding tax, military meritorious fields and pension fields are exempt from the field tax, and the military leased fields for military reserve soldiers are only 20% of the tax tax. It is immutable for the production of grain from military leased fields, but both military merit fields and pension fields can be used to grow cash crops.
Nowadays, under the plantation cooperatives with a large number of military households and the plantation system with more planting workers, military households can use their land to share and share the harvest, and at the same time, as planting workers, they can also receive another salary and bonus, and these silver coins can be stored in the Guangfu ticket number to eat interest money, and the enthusiasm for production has naturally been greatly improved.
The cash crops planted can be processed through the workshop and exported overseas, and the deposit silver in the ticket number is also providing loans to the maritime merchants and factory owners who have been supported.
As a result, the special products of neighboring countries continued to pour into China, greatly enriching and improving the material conditions, and the industrial manufactured products made by the hydraulic workshops were exchanged for a large amount of silver and other raw materials, and the process of industrialization was also constantly improved.
The common people benefited from the process of industrialization, among which the most profitable were the factory owners and the military households who owned the military merit land and the pension land. As a factory owner, you need to have enough money, connections, and other vital aspects of existence, not everyone can do this, but the threshold for joining the military is much lower. As long as they can obtain military merits, and even pensions for the dead and disabled, the living conditions of the family can be qualitatively changed, which also makes many people eager to join the army.
It is undeniable that they are the lucky ones among them, and their military achievements are far closer to them than other soldiers who have just joined the army. However, war was by no means child's play, and the new army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was by no means an old-style army, and today's awarding of the flag and the departure from this Niushou Mountain camp to the Northern Expedition were only the beginning.
Rest for half a day, pack your bags, and set off the next day. The departure sequence, the old guards in front, the young guards in the back, the destination of the two is also different, one goes straight to Zhenjiang, from there to Yangzhou by boat, while the latter is to take a trip to Nanjing, cross the Yangtze River in Nanjing, and go to the front.
The Niushou Mountain camp was very close to Nanjing, and in the afternoon of the same day, the army arrived outside the Jubaomen Gate in Nanjing, and the people who rushed to hear the news had already crowded the road to the Yifengmen wharf here.
The gentry and people in Nanjing and the surrounding areas were eagerly waiting, and the young guards appeared from the pole of their sight and gradually extended in. The queue was from far to near, and at the forefront was the Panlong banner of the Young Guards Division, which continued to look back, followed by a military band holding waist drums, huqin, flute, suona and other musical instruments.
In the marching queue, Ding Junjie walked in a uniform manner, stepping on the hard bluestone road in Nanjing, arousing the resonance as if the whole earth was trembling, and the heartbeat of the people around him was inevitably trembling with the footsteps.
As they got closer, the resonance became even greater, and for the first time, the gentry and common people of Nanjing saw this army of soldiers who had been trained for more than a year in the Niushou Mountain camp not far from them. Listening to the step by step, the soldiers of the Young Guards Division walked towards Nanjing with a unified pace and unified movements, as if carved out of a mold. When the banner crossed the farthest people, the high-pitched and passionate battle song sounded, and the same uniform voice resounded in everyone's heart.
"You don't see, the final army of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please Changying;
You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds!
The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life?
The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting!
Abandon my old pen, and hold my wartime time,
More than 100,000 comrades sang war songs and joined the army.
Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the slaves without regard for themselves! ”
The Young Guards marched in stride, the battle song accompanied by the rhythm of military music, and the beat that accompanied the footsteps was not the slightest disorder. Shi Xiaoniu and a group of classmates from Nanjing University Hall stood in the crowd, watching and listening to all this happening.
Thinking back then, after graduating from the Boy Scout Academy, he did not have the idea of joining the army. However, their Shi family has produced a middle-level officer and a martyr, and the order of his parents cannot be violated, so he entered the physics department of the quality measurement department of Nanjing University Hall with his grades, and has been even more fascinated by this knowledge since then.
However, at this moment, looking at the young faces in this army, and thinking of his friend Ding Junjie, whom he hadn't seen for nearly two years, the urge to join the army germinated in his chest again. Even if he couldn't find his classmates and friends among these soldiers, this enthusiasm already made him so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"Endure the affection and lightly cut off the homesickness, and generously hold out the heart of serving the country.
Went to the battlefield with a smile, and the banner was dark,
The air blows too white into the moon, and the long arrow is pulled to shoot the wolf.
Siming a year to restore Jinling, Huai, Fujian, Guangdong, Hubei and the first Ping,
The ship of the Broken Wave Building went out of the Zhejiang Sea, and the iron armor of the wild attacked Yanjing! ”
Shi Xiaoniu found Ding Junjie in the crowd for this reason, but Ding Junjie's mother had already seen her son on the other side of the road, and tears welled up on her face.
From the day her son decided to join the army, she was a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand who did not support it. For no other reason, Ding Junjie's father went to Nantang Camp to join the army, and finally died on Siming Mountain. Over the years, although there has never been a shortage of pensions in the army, and her husband's robes have been taken care of, but leaving this orphan and widow, in the dead of night, she will always think of when Ding Junjie's father was still alive, so that she cried until dawn.
The family has a pension property, and there are a lot of dividends every year, and she has never been idle for even a day, in order to make her son live better in the future and continue the incense for the Ding family.
couldn't bear the bloody pleading of her son, who had been obedient and sensible since she was a child, and the ghost envoy agreed to the request to join the army, and in the past few years, she has been worrying every day, worrying that one day Ding Junjie will really go to the battlefield.
However, today, she finally understands the great principles that her husband said when he was in Xiu Mu for the country and the people, and understands the reason why her son wants to end the national oppression of the Manchu Qing with his own hands.
endurance and lightness of homesickness, generously hold out the heart of serving the country. The country is poor and weak, the people will not be looked down upon wherever they go, and the world is stolen by the Tartars, so the Han people are untouchables who are not even as good as slaves, how can there be a good life at all. And if you want to avoid all this from happening and reverse the facts that have been formed, the only way to do this is to use the blood of the Han family - all these years of throwing their heads and spilling blood to trace the soldiers who have recovered this half of the south of the Yangtze River after hard fighting, and her husband and son are also like this!
"Smashed the Jiannu cave overnight, and the rolling muddy river was completely red.
The Han flag is raised on the top of Changbai Mountain, and the orchid is drunk in Liaoyang Palace.
Returning to the middle of the road to see 10,000 people, before the flowers and horses,
The lintel is full of white hair, and the Lu is jubilant and arrogant. ”
In the crowd, the shouts of the ladies of the Ding family were drowned out by the equally passionate onlookers. However, the same passionate war song was not affected in the slightest, and even became more and more majestic with the accompanying sound around it.
Ding Junjie walked in the queue, a year-long training, the distance of each step has formed a habit, the military boots stepped on the bluestone slab, the crisp vibration made him straighten his waist, and the high-spirited in his chest was even more difficult to suppress.
"The first merit of the national history is clearly marked, and China has been known for its longevity since then,
There is still a remnant of power to punish injustice, and it is necessary to make the world's human beings bathe in the same Han style! ”
………………
The young guards outside Nanjing passed through the Jubaomen in the south of the city in turn, and while they were advancing towards the Yifengmen Wharf, they also had to pass in front of the gate of the palace of the king of Nanjing. There, Chen Wen will join the queue with the guards of the Imperial Mansion of the Prison State Qi and march towards Jiangbei.
As the commander of the army, Chen Wenshang had a moment to say goodbye to his wife, son and daughter. At this moment, in the inner courtyard of the palace of the king of the state of Qi, the maids and family members of the palace have retreated, leaving behind the most noble men and women in the south half of the Yangtze River.
At first sight, they looked at each other through the curtain of the carriage; Cao Conglong's rebellion, men disguised themselves as women and rushed to the front of the army to report the news; When he said goodbye, he was already shocked in the courtyard of the Sun family; When I got to the answer in Lanruo Temple, until today, Chen Wen and Zhou Yueying have been married for several years, with a pair of children, and even a few days before Chen Wen received the canonization of the prison state, Zhou Yueying was also confirmed to be pregnant again.
Along the way, the girl who was once called hypocritical by Chen Wen in the future has long since faded away from her youth and naivety, and Chen Wen's knowledge accumulated over hundreds of years has benefited her a lot, and she also admires the hero in front of her who saved half of the country from the hands of the Tartars and rescued her from confusion and distress. And her hero, who may have been tempted by her because she had this trouble similar to that of modern people, but now, she has long been reborn and fell in love with the current her, this more pure her.
At the gate of the palace hall, Chen Wen hugged Zhou Yueying into his arms, breathing in the sweetness of his hair. And Zhou Yueying is also in Chen Wen's arms, feeling the temperature of the body and even the soul.
Next to Zhou Yueying, Chen Xinruo led her younger brother's little hand and looked at her parents thoughtfully, with incomprehension in her eyes, but also clarity, and even a trace of envy, but she herself may not be able to understand. However, her younger brother, who has long been respected by everyone as the prince of the palace of the Prison State Qi Wangfu, is still snorting, confused by the silence at the moment.
It wasn't until a long time later that Chen Wen let go of his embrace, and Zhou Yueying hurriedly rearranged Chen Wen's armor and jade belt.
"Take care of Xinruo and Xinhua, as well as the child in the womb, and wait for me to come back."
"The concubine wishes her husband a victory, expelling the Tartars, and recovering the Han family!"
"The child wishes his father a victory, an exorcism of the Tartars, and the restoration of the Han family!"
Zhou Yueying received a blessing, and Chen Wen's eldest daughter Chen Xinruo and eldest son Chen Xinhua fell to the ground and sent Chen Wen off on the expedition.
His wife and daughter saluted, Chen Wen turned around, shook the cloak on his body, and strode forward. The door of the inner courtyard was opened, and the threshold was crossed, and Qian Qianyi, the auxiliary minister of the cabinet, had already been waiting here, even Zhang Huangyan was no exception.
"The ministers and others congratulate His Royal Highness the Prison State to go on the expedition, and I wish His Royal Highness the Prison State a victory, drive out the Tartars, and restore the Han family!"
No better than his wife and daughter, Chen Wen picked up Qian Qianyi, who was already full of gray hair, with both hands, and then said to everyone before saying to Qian Qianyi: "Mu Weng, during the lonely expedition, you will have to worry more about the affairs of the court and the central government. ”
Chen Wen has always been polite and thoughtful to Qian Qianyi, not to mention the joke that this person's water was too cold and his scalp was itchy in those years, Chen Wen came to this era, and he saw more of the figure of this old man fighting for the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty. It was he who also benefited a lot from this.
In fact, for Qian Qianyi, he didn't attach much importance to Chen Wen at the beginning, in his opinion, the key to the three bureaus of the Catalpa is the Xiying army in the southwest, followed by his disciple Zheng Chenggong's sailor to cut off the Yangtze River, Chen Wen at most played a role in containing the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River, that's all.
However, with the passage of time, the Ming army in the southwest, Sun Li infighting, and Liu Wenxiu were thrown into idleness due to the defeat of Baoning, and Zheng Chenggong said that Chen Wen shared the military pressure of Zhejiang and Jiangnan, but with the relocation of Jingnan Palace, it soon entered the stage of confrontation.
On the contrary, it was Chen Wen, who first broke Quzhou, except for Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian; secondly, the four provincial capitals were suppressed, and the old traitor Shi Tingzhu and the eight banners of the 8,000 Han army were broken; Hit Siming Mountain again, save Huang Zongxi and others from danger, and defeated Dasu on the shore of Siming Lake, and cut down Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang, to comfort the souls of the martyrs in the first Battle of Siming Lake; Repeatedly broke the southeast meridian standard in Yushan, and then captured Guangxin Mansion, and executed the traitor Hong Chengchou while recovering Jiangxi and promoting the great changes in Fujian and Guangdong; In the end, a pair of famous kings came to kill the last prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Prince Zheng Zierharang, who was already the lord of the banner in Liaodong, and Yue Le, the most prestigious prince of the new generation, and sacrificed them to Xiaoling.
Along the way, Chen Wen completely relied on his own strength to create a piece of the world, giving the people of the world hope to drive out the Manchu Yidi. And he saw this journey with his own eyes, and he also wisely chose to cooperate with Chen Wen unconditionally, even the old dogs who were contemptuously called by Chen Wenfeng by the remnants of Donglin did not hesitate. And such a long-term support also allowed him to get the official position of the first assistant minister of the cabinet, and finally sat on the throne he had dreamed of since the Chongzhen Dynasty. Today's Qian Qianyi has already re-tied his hair and put on the official uniform of the Han family, which can be regarded as enough.
"Your Royal Highness the Prison State can rest assured, the ministers will do their best and die."
"This is still exempt, when the lonely light recovers the old land of the Han family, I will try to restore the people's livelihood, and then the great talent of the herdsman will be indispensable."
Beyond Qian Qianyi, there are two cabinet assistants, Shangshu Sun Yu of the Judicial Department and Shangshu Wang Jiang of the Du Branch, they have been Chen Wen's supporters since Dalanshan, especially Sun Yu, who has been following the trend step by step along the way, and has never wavered in the slightest, even if he was unswerving in Cao Conglong's rebellion with a military knife on his neck.
For them, and even those officials who have followed him for many years, Chen Wen didn't need to say much, just nodding, they could understand Chen Wen's mind.
Passing through the crowd of these officials, Chen Wen continued to move forward, all the way straight, the main gate of the Prison State Qi Mansion creaked open, and when he walked out, the guards of the Prison State Qi Palace had already stepped on the war horse, and the vanguard of the Young Guards Division had also arrived at the avenue in front of the square.
"Troops!"
Chen Wen turned over and jumped onto the horse that had been captured from Zilharang. The sturdy war horse held its head proudly, not reacting in the slightest because of Chen Wen's weight and heavy armor, and then drove towards the Yifengmen pier in the distance under Chen Wen's drive.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
“……”
The invincible and invincible world-famous generals walked at the forefront, followed by the loyal guards of the Imperial Palace of the Prison State of Qi, and the neat and uniform young guards sang war songs, following their leaders to the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, and also towards the moment that completely rewrote history.
