Chapter 222: Ink and Ink
Generally speaking, you say that this is now a disaster year, and if there are high-yielding and drought-tolerant crop seeds, it will be a kind of welfare for all the common people.
The problem is that now, there is a rumor in the Han River valley that the sweet potato is poisonous, and that the king of Rui wants to swallow the people's fields in order to poison the people in the Han River valley, and then sell them to those landlords to run some big estate planting business.
Zhu Changhao looked at it, and felt very uncomfortable, these sweet potato seeds, that is, potatoes, were purchased by himself from several southern provinces by the water master, and how much it cost during the period, this is life-saving food, why don't those people understand their hard work.
Yes, some of these sweet potatoes have sprouted in this season, and on the word sprout, there is a thing called solanine.
This thing, when eating, just break off the sprouts, and if you find that some sweet potatoes have turned green, as long as they are cooked and boiled for a longer time, then there is basically no problem.
For these messages, Zhu Changhao has asked people to publicize them, but what makes him most puzzled is why some people want to eat those seeds, you know, if you eat two taels of potato seeds, then after four months, you will harvest two catties of potatoes less.
In this way, Zhu Changhao estimates that corn is eaten more by those ordinary people, but he doesn't plan to add it, to be honest, most of the people are hard-working and kind, not the kind of lazy people who are lazy and lazy, and those who eat seeds are generally lazy.
As for those lazy people in various villages, Zhu Changhao plans to have another half a month to carry out a severe crackdown, after all, dozens of large manor owners are now short of labor, if these lazy people are taken in, let the manor owners pay a small amount of money, you can take away these "free labor", only provide them with food and accommodation, it is enough.
Zhu Changhao believed that those big manor owners must be very willing, after all, these "free laborers" are similar to slaves.
Although this kind of arrest of the lazy people and gangsters in those villages and work as laborers for the owners of the manors in the Han River valley seems a little unauthentic, but in the seventeenth century, there was basically no problem.
The so-called vigorous and resolute action is the style of our generation.
On the morning of 19 March, Zhu Changhao immediately issued a letter of transfer signed by the Ministry of War, and this kind of letter was actually issued to the local inspection department; generally speaking, as long as Zhu Changhao issued it, he could not go through the formalities of the Ministry of War, but in order to show his standard of the system of three provinces and six ministries, he still signed Sun Chengzong's name.
In this way, from Mian County, west of Hanzhong Prefecture, to Hankou, on the Yangtze River downstream, this order for the transfer of troops will be transmitted to various places by fast boat in seven days.
With the transmission of the transfer order, Mianxian, Hanzhong, Yangxian, Shiquan, Hanyin, Ankangzhou, Yunxi, Shiyan, Zhushan, Danjiangkou, Laohekou, Gucheng ...... Tianmen, Hanchuan, Hankou, gradually took action.
In the Han River Valley, which has a population of 10 million, Zhu Changhao has reason to believe that more than 100,000 people can definitely be sent this time, and women don't want it, as long as men.
On 20 March, from west to east, the entire Han River valley became restless, after all, the total amount of funds invested by the plantation owners of 400,000 mu of plantations reached 3.86 million taels, and it covered an area of 400,000 mu.
Besides, these nineteen families, this year's corn, cotton, and sweet potatoes have not yet been harvested, and Zhu Changhao's order has already gone down, so that the tragedy of "overcharging three or five buckets" has been avoided in a certain way, and the grain is from hurting the peasants.
Besides, if there is still a shortage of laborers, Zhu Changhao plans to let Zhao Yuanyi and Wang Can prepare for a few large votes in Liaodong this year, anyway, Nurhachi's "Ding reduction strategy" must be implemented to the end.
In addition, Zhu Changhao, the Liaodong Propaganda Envoy of Dengzhou Prefecture, had already issued a secret order to Song Xiance last month, taking advantage of the nature of the foreign wharf of Dengzhou Prefecture, to appropriately infiltrate the Wa State.
Zhuzhi, all the qiē, Zhu Changhao basically thought of it, and waited for tomorrow, the eldest brother and his party arrived in Hanzhong.
This time, because the eldest brother had the warrant of the king, he came directly from Dongshengcheng on the first line of Xuanda, and then went south along the Yellow River, arrived at Yan'an Mansion, then passed Qingyang Mansion, and then entered the territory of Fengxiang and went straight to Hanzhong.
Just outside the north gate of Hanzhong City, Zhu Changhao led the officials of the palace to quietly wait for Wu Keshan's arrival.
The smoke and dust are billowing out, the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of scolding he has, Zhu Changhao knows that the eldest brother is here.
Immediately let people blow the horn, ninety-nine red-clothed cannons stood outside the north gate, and the Blue Dragon Army and the White Tiger Army had already formed a square line of 30,000 people, waiting for Wu Keshan's arrival.
This time, Wu Keshan brought no more than 10,000 war horses and 5,000 cattle from Horqin, and the rest is estimated to be gone, but he still brought hundreds of cow felts to Zhu Changhao.
Just a mile away from Zhu Changhao's lineup, the three thousand Mongolian warriors brought by Wu Keshan all stopped, and only a dozen or so people around him followed, and the horses slowly marched towards Zhu Changhao.
Wu Keshan dismounted fifty meters away from Zhu Changhao, since the other party dismounted, Zhu Changhao was naturally not a small family, so he planned to meet him.
The problem is that Zhu Changhao hasn't acted yet, Bumu Butai has already trotted towards his brother, and he keeps shouting "Brother, brother~".
Zhu Changhao's face was suddenly full of black lines, but he didn't care about Bu Mu Butai's out-of-the-ordinary appearance, after all, a sixteen-year-old girl, when she saw her relatives, she cried with joy, is it also human nature, but this Bu Mu Butai's affairs in Hanzhong are estimated to be impossible to hide.
After all, among the three thousand Mongols, no one can guarantee that there are no spies from Huang Taiji, but Zhu Changhao has already thought about this problem, and by the time the news reached Houjin, he could already be said to be the total strength, with 120,000 people in the land and water divisions, 140,000 in addition to the cavalry, and more than 40 inspection divisions in the Han River Valley, as well as the security teams in various places, if there were no 200,000, Zhu Changhao didn't want to believe it.
In other words, whether it is an external force or a potential force in the palace, in short, 200,000 people will not be less.
These 200,000 people, Zhu Changhao believes, if they are really mobilized, it will definitely be a terrifying force, a team that uses firearms, grenades, long and short cannons, and many other firearms.
This shows that they belong to the era of thermal weapons.
Back to the topic, Zhu Changhao watched Bumu Butai crying like a tearful man in Wu Keshan's arms, which was caused by "longing turned into lovesick tears".
It's just that as Zhu Changhao approached step by step, Wu Keshan gently pushed Bumu Butai away, and immediately bowed down to Zhu Changhao with the guards behind him
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Hello.
Saying hello is actually a kind of etiquette, but as the prince of the Ming Empire, he Wu Keshan is just the prince of a tribe, and it is right to say hello.
In all the regions around the Ming Dynasty, or the subject countries, they are in front of the people of the Ming Empire, they have a sense of inferiority, that is, in the past ten years, the Ming Dynasty has a weak national strength, but the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the influence of an empire is not more than ten years, it can be eliminated so simply.
Now, they all bowed down to Zhu Changhao like this, and Zhu Changhao, as the prince, naturally wanted to be magnificent.
This guy is facing the north directly, his breath is sinking into the dantian, his eyes are bulging, and the "Neijing" exercise is directly running at full strength, and the realm of dragon and tiger gong and leopard song has reached the twelfth layer. Then he said to Wu Keshan and the others, "Zhu Changhao, the king of Damingrui, welcomes the arrival of Borzigit Wu Keshan, the prince of Korqin Zhuoliktu, and everyone is exempt. ”
Zhu Changhao's voice didn't say that it shook for hundreds of miles, but within ten miles, it was definitely like a bell ringing in Honglu.
Therefore, Zhu Changhao alone directly broke the quiet scene of these 3,000 Horqin warriors and 10,000 horses.
It can be said that Zhu Changhao is alone, in this scene, he has earned back face for Daming.
At this moment, Wu Keshan on the other side was unwilling, as the head of Horqin in the future, the patriarch, he must not lose face.
No, Wu Keshan said directly to Zhu Changhao with full anger, "Lord Da Mingrui, our immortal man, we need you to review it, can you?" ”
Zhu Changhao listened, smiled slightly, and scolded in his heart, "Sample, what can be denied, but it's just a review team, you want to give this king a horse, but what kind of person is this king, how can he be scared by you." ”
"Okay, today this king will take a look at your Horqin warriors", as he said, Zhu Changhao directly turned on his horse, took twenty-eight personal guards, and Wu Keshan ran towards the three thousand Horqin cavalry behind.
The horses snorted and their hooves kept stomping on the ground.
When Zhu Changhao just walked into the three-thousand-square-meter team, Wu Keshan said directly, "Qingdao." ”
With a "brush", the bright crescent-shaped saber had been drawn out and erected in front of him.
Zhu Changhao's face did not change, but walked calmly past the rows of horses, in addition, in the process of walking, Zhu Changhao also deliberately emitted a huge aura, those eyes, faintly full of murderous aura, directly swept over the face of every Mongolian man like a knife.
Every Mongolian man who saw Zhu Changhao couldn't help but bow his head and didn't dare to look at him. Because they have an illusion that the prince in front of them is like a desolate beast that has existed for eternity, and that look is to choose people and devour, which makes people's souls tremble.
Wu Keshan looked at the three thousand Mongolian warriors he brought, and when he saw that the prince of Daming unexpectedly lowered his head, he suddenly felt a wordless bitterness rippling in his heart.
Just like the "providence" sung by Hua De Liu, 'I am not afraid of pain, I am not afraid of losing, I am afraid that no matter how hard I try, I will be helpless'. The premise is that Wu Keshan knows the song "Providence".
In this way, outside the north gate of Hanzhong Fucheng, a battle of wits and courage finally ended with Wu Keshan's bowing, the problem is that this kind of bowing, the 30,000 people around Zhu Changhao have not yet played. In other words, Zhu Changhao alone made Wu Keshan disgraced.
