Chapter 172: Revival Society's Foreign Aid 4
86_86695 "It's not that I want to make a revolution, it's not that we want to make a revolution in rejuvenation." The revolution has long been hidden in the people, and what we have to do is to lead and organize the people to make a revolution together! ”
-- 1622, Wang Shuhui, "Rebellion and Revolution Are Two Different Things"
Seeing his brother looking at him together, Qin Liangyu showed an indescribable expression on his face. She said to Qin Bangping and Qin Minping in a heavy tone: "Hair is like a leek, cut and reborn; The head is like a chicken, cutting and recalling; Officials don't have to be fearful, and small people are never to be taken lightly. ”
Qin Bangping and Qin Minping didn't know why Qin Liangyu suddenly recited this Eastern Han Dynasty Yuefu song, this Yuefu folk song obviously did not match the style of the issue just discussed. Therefore, the simple-minded Qin Minping said to Qin Liangyu: "Third sister, why did you suddenly whimsically want to discuss your knowledge with Lu Xiaozi of the Revival Society. ”
"Revolution is not revolutionary, I remember that it is something in "Zhou Yi". The group of boys in the revival society can only write and do arithmetic at most, so where do you want to discuss knowledge and discuss with them? Didn't you listen to what Lu Xiaozi said, even the nephew of the Wang family has a big problem with his knowledge. Not even as good as me. I don't even know the origin of the revolution, and what kind of slash-and-burn cultivation and blood are really out of bounds. ”
Mr. Qin Kui once evaluated his four children. He commented that his eldest son Qin Bangping was, "The poems and books are coarse, brave and unscrupulous, and the pawn is also a pawn!" ”。 He commented that his second son Qin Banghan was, "Looking for chapters and extracting sentences, not understanding the world, and being a corrupt Confucian!" ”。 He commented that his youngest son Qin Minping was full of doting laughter, saying that he was "a yellow-mouthed child, not an heirloom." ”
Only for his only daughter Qin Liangyu, Mr. Qin has a high evaluation. At that time, he touched the head of Qin Liangyu, who was not yet married, and said to her: "My son is proficient in poetry and books, seeks courage and bravery, and promotes the name of my Qin family, it must be my son,"
Facts have proved that Mr. Qin Kui knows his children very well. His evaluation of his four children was all fulfilled. His eldest son Qin Bangping and younger son Qin Minping died on the battlefield one after another. The second son, Qin Banghan, resigned and returned to his hometown after less than five years as an official. Only his only daughter, Qin Liangyu, not only became a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, but also became famous in history in the end.
Qin Liangyu, a heroic figure who is well-versed in poetry and books, and seeks both courage and bravery, how could he not understand what he wanted to express in the songs sung by the soldiers of the Renaissance Army. However, she also determined her thoughts after meeting Lu Yue, and racked her brains to think of a poem similar to the song "Sing a Mountain Song to the Party" of the Fuxing Society.
When she thought of this Eastern Han Yuefu folk song, she had completely figured out what kind of person Wang Shuhui was and what kind of organization the revival would be. I also completely figured out what the "revolution" in the song of the Revival Army meant. It was for this reason that she didn't believe it at all when she heard Lu Yue's explanation to her with the unified tone of the Fuxing Society.
"The world has been suffering for a long time!" The white-pole soldiers who lived in the closed environment of the Xuanfu Division of the Stone Pillar certainly did not understand the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. It was she who led the white pole soldiers out of Sichuan to fight, and saw the customs and customs everywhere along the way, but the life of the people of Shizhu Mountain was too hard, so that these white pole soldiers saw everything was good.
How did they know that in order to defend against the Liaodong Tatars, the imperial court had repeatedly levied taxes throughout the country, so that chaos broke out in the world and civil unrest broke out everywhere.
A little Wang Shuhui is not a big deal. But the revival club under Wang Shuhui, the family team under Wang Shuhui, each of them is obviously a small common man not long ago.
As far as Qin Liangyu learned, these people only began to read and write after they arrived under Wang Shuhui's command. However, now under Wang Shuhui's teaching, these people already have their own set of thoughts and concepts, and they can judge problems with this set of unified thoughts and concepts.
That's a big deal.
In the eyes of Qin Liangyu, who is familiar with poetry and books, there are only two kinds of characters in the world, one can be called heroic, and the other can be called a sage. In today's world, corruption is everywhere, and heroes are not visible. However, judging from historical records, there are many heroes in the world, but there are not many sages. Those who can be called heroic often do not become sages, but those who can be called sages are often heroes.
Take Confucius in Qin Liangyu's heart as an example, she thinks that Confucius is naturally a sage. But this sage has his own thunderbolt method to put his teachings into practice. Jun Sandu, Zhu Shaomao. This great sage who is regarded as a sage by the scholars who are powerless today, but when conditions permit, he used thunderous means to implement his will.
Qin Liangyu knew that he might be a hero, but he was by no means a sage, because he didn't have the ability to create a set of truths. However, Wang Shuhui, who does not see any heroic skills at present, and does not preach any truths everywhere, has begun to establish a set of truths and spread this set of truths to the heads of every soldier and his subordinates.
In Qin Liangyu's view, this is Wang Shuhui's expression that he wants to be both a hero and a sage. In the words that scholars liked, dreamed of, and described the ancient holy kings, this little county lord and guest of honor, Wang Shuhui, had the ambition of wanting to "integrate the monarch and the teacher".
Qin Liangyu only knows now that Wang Shuhui has excellent strategy and superhuman strategic vision (in fact, Wang Shuhui relied on the information of later generations to make judgments), has amazing business methods (modern industry established with the help of the time and space gate), has incredible military training talent (judging from the fact that the Revival Association helped Ma Xianglin train an "elite soldier" in a few months, so to speak), and a set, ordinary mud legs can understand it, But it can explain the truth of everything under heaven (historical materialism and dialectical materialism do have such ability). From this point of view, Wang Shuhui's ambition of "integrating the monarch and the teacher" is not impossible to realize.
No one in the world, including his elder brother and younger brother, doesn't know that Qin Liangyu, who has experienced the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, has actually completely seen through the tricks of the Ming Dynasty. In her eyes, the border army that was relied on as a barrier by the Ming Dynasty was completely incompetent, like a chicken and a dog, and only knew how to fight among paper tigers. The Ming Dynasty is already a dilapidated house that leaks air everywhere and runs water everywhere.
However, Qin Liangyu didn't dare to say these words to his brother and younger brother, who were already discouraged by the imperial court. Once she reveals the true nature of the Ming Dynasty to her brothers, with their temper, they will definitely completely abandon the court, hold the white pole soldiers and stone pillar toasts, and seek self-protection in the troubled times.
Originally, because he had thoroughly seen the essence of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Liangyu's heart had always been very heavy. Today, after she saw clearly what kind of person Wang Shuhui had been supporting and helping her, Qin Liangyu actually had a sense of fear in her heart, "The country is about to die, and there will be demons".
Just as Qin Liangyu didn't want to tell his brother and younger brother about his views on the nature of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Liangyu didn't want to tell his brother and younger brother about his views on Wang Shuhui.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is about to run out, and there is still so much evidence. However, Wang Shuhui is a "traitor in troubled times", and Qin Liangyu has no evidence at all. If Wang Shuhui is really a "traitor in troubled times", how can Qin Liangyu explain the premise of troubled times to his brother and younger brother.
Qin Liangyu thought very clearly, if he wanted to protect Daming, he had to appease his elder brother and younger brother. If she wants to appease her brother and younger brother, she can't tell them her true opinion of Wang Shuhui.
Qin Liangyu, who didn't speak for a long time, found that he had fallen into a very difficult situation. As long as you want to keep the Ming Dynasty, you must put down the Tusi Rebellion in Sichuan, which is close in front of you. And if he wants to put down the Tusi Rebellion in Sichuan, he has no reason to refuse Wang Shuhui, who currently seems to have nothing wrong, to help him.
Sighing in her heart, Qin Liangyu didn't know what she could say to her brother and brother, she said to the two of them tiredly: "I'm just on a whim, seeing that the soldiers under Wang Yibin's command are all literate and hyphenated, I want to talk to them." I'm tired, and I still have military affairs to take care of tomorrow. Go back and rest. ”
Hearing Qin Liangyu's words, Qin Bangping and Qin Minping didn't have much to do, the two said goodbye to Qin Liangyu and left the tent together.
Outside the big tent, Qin Minping said to Qin Bangping: "Big brother, I see that the third sister has been very depressed recently. What's going on? Is it difficult to deal with the civil officials in Sichuan? I always feel that our current situation is much better than when we were in Liaodong. What is there to be frustrated! ”
Qin Bangping didn't know why Qin Liangyu was worried. He said to Qin Minping: "Fourth brother, don't be troublesome. Your third sister is a big responsibility, so you should not think more about us. Let's take the soldiers under our command and cause her less trouble. You and Xianglin have been honest recently, don't get too close to Wang Yibin's people. After all, it was a feudal clan. I think your third sister is worried about this aspect. ”
Qin Minping scratched his head dissatisfied, and muttered, "You think too much!" I think the nephew of the Wang family is a good person! They not only saved the life of the eldest brother, but also sent us so many good things. ”
After thinking for a while, Qin Minping continued: "It's really uncomfortable to be a bird official in this imperial court. After the bandits are defeated, I will go back to my hometown to farm. Anyway, those civilian officials don't treat us generals as human beings. Calculating our brothers and sisters everywhere, this bird official might as well be happy as a mountain king. ”
Qin Bangping was actually tired of the imperial court in his heart. After all, in his eyes, the civil officials represent the imperial court. The civil officials suppressed and discriminated against themselves, that is, the imperial court suppressed and discriminated against themselves. However, in order to protect the face of the eldest brother, Qin Bangping still said to his younger brother: "You talk a lot!" Don't mention this kind of nonsense in front of outsiders, and cause trouble in plain way. Go back quickly, we have to hurry tomorrow. ”
In May 1622, Qin Liangyu led 5,000 white pole soldiers, 500 musketeers and 500 revival troops to Chongqing Prefecture. Because steamships were used as a means of transport, it took only four days for the 6,000-strong troops to reach Chongqing from Shizhu. And because it was a boat, the soldiers did not consume any physical objects, and they were in good physical condition and in excellent mental condition.
In modern society, Fotuguan is nothing more than a leisure place for the citizens of Chongqing, and a public park in Chongqing. But in the Ming Dynasty, it did assume its original function and was a defensive point.
The Buddha Tu Guan Bi stands ten thousand thousands, and it is the throat of Chongqing's land route, and the place where the ancient road of Chengdu and Chongqing must pass. Historically, anyone who wants to take Chongqing City must first capture Fotu Pass, without exception. Presented in front of Qin Liangyu's eyes, the Buddha Tuguan is an independent castle, there are Yingqing, Tai'an, Shunfeng, Dacheng Gate four, the north and south of the wall nearly two riversides, with the cliff as a barrier, tall and solid, the pass is triangular, the range is larger, the distance is like a majestic castle, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Later generations commented on the white pole soldiers, on the one hand, they admired his bravery, and on the other hand, they also praised the white pole soldiers for being good at mountain warfare. Indeed, because the white pole soldiers are all from the Shizhu mountain people, it is indeed their strength for them to conduct mountain warfare.
Originally, Qin Liangyu regarded the battalion of soldiers sent by Wang Shuhui as a guest army. The guest army in her eyes is not the guest army in the eyes of Liaodong Jiangmen, it is the object of framing and cannon fodder. Rather, it is an object that needs to be guarded against and preserved. She didn't want to send people from the Baath Army to fight. However, the fighting enthusiasm of the soldiers of this battalion of the Baxing Army was too high.
You have to know that every day you are locked up in the closed environment of the barracks, training, studying, and working around the clock. The soldiers of the Renaissance Army, however, have accumulated a lot of strength, and they don't know how much energy they need to vent. During the march in the past few days, the soldiers of the Fuxing Army also practiced stabbing on the barge, shouting vigorously, "Use me in the first battle, use me to win", which made the comrades-in-arms of the white pole soldiers angry enough.
On the one hand, Qin Liangyu wanted to see Wang Shuhui's real training ability. On the one hand, it is also the pry of Ma Xianglin, who is eager to see the demeanor of the strong soldiers under his mentor. She also really gave the order to the soldiers of the volunteer battalion of the Baxing Army to attack tentatively.
Because the agreement has already been reached. Qin Liangyu has command over the troops, but the white pole soldiers cannot interfere in the combat process of the Fuxing Army. Therefore, the situation suddenly became a situation in which 500 well-trained Baath Army soldiers arranged their positions in an orderly manner, while 5,000 white-pole soldiers who had formed a defensive formation were watching from the side.
Qin Minping, who didn't know what Qin Liangyu thought, was furious in his heart. He thought that his sister was angry in Liaodong, and he was angry with Wang Shuhui's troops, who were also from Liaodong Jiangmen.
However, Qin Minping didn't run to his sister to mess around, after all, as a general, he also knew that this was not the time to have an argument with the main general. He ordered his troops to get ready, and he had to meet the five hundred families that the nephew of the Wang family had managed to get at any time.
(Keeping a family is the habit of Liaodong Jiangmen.) Generally speaking, the troops with complete armor were armed by the Liaodong generals who spent a lot of money and investment. Qin Minping saw that the soldiers of the Fuxing Army were all wearing cuirasses and rattan hats, and they were all using long muskets. mistook them for Wang Shuhui's family members. )
Unlike his mother and uncle, Ma Xianglin has a deeper understanding of the Renaissance Army. He didn't think that he would have any big loss from his cheap teacher's five hundred elite soldiers. After all, the five hundred musketeers trained by the Renaissance Army with the help of him had a good experience on the battlefield.
However, Ma Xianglin is very interested in the elite soldiers trained by Mr. Wang himself. For example, the five small cannons that look like toys (the Grusen 57mm mountain cannon with a total weight of only 1,000 catties is indeed a gadget in the eyes of people in this era. The redcoat cannons are two or three tons of stuff, and they think that thing is a cannon). In Ma Xianglin's eyes, it seems to be a joke.
However, the soldiers of the artillery company of the volunteer battalion of the revival army treated them as treasures. In particular, when they were holding the shells that had been painted yellow, they looked green and cautious. This made Ma Xianglin pay special attention to these small cannons.
Sure enough, I saw the volunteer battalion of the Fuxing Army, tossing for an afternoon, using some poles and racks and other things, and after a long time (battlefield measurement) everywhere, the volunteer battalion of the Fuxing Army entered the preset position.
The soldiers of the artillery company lined up five mounted guns in front of the position. There were seven or eight men behind each cannon. At this time, Ma Xianglin thought that he could see the power of these little things. Unexpectedly, those people behind the cannon began to take out clairvoyants and other things again, comparing and shouting with each other (observation and aiming process).
Just when Ma Xianglin and the generals of the white pole soldiers were all completely bored, and their spirits were all slack. Suddenly, the cannon went off. After that, these five small cannons began to pour shells violently at an astonishing speed, continuously towards the gate of Fotuguan.
The power of picric cannonballs is not very well described. Although the artillery of the Revival Society used only small-caliber shells filled with mature picric acid. However, from a scientific point of view, the power of picric acid can be calculated. The power of one pound of bitter acid medicine is almost the power of a hundred pounds of black powder.
For the people of the Ming Dynasty, they had basically never seen flowering cannonballs filled with black powder. Then, the power of the picric acid, which is a hundred times more powerful than black powder, they cannot comprehend.
After the successful production of aspirin in Shiyàn, the Revival Society began to try to use industrial means to produce picric acid. This is why picric acid was first invented, and the Danada medicine made by adsorbing nitroglycerin by diatomaceous earth that Wang Shuhui wanted has not yet appeared in the Fuxing Society.
Earth-shattering explosions, unimaginable fires. Not only were the enemy troops guarding the city pass wiped out in an instant, but even the entire white pole soldiers had a huge chaos.
For a while, the stunned generals of the white pole soldiers forgot to suppress the troops, and just let the troops panic.
Qin Liangyu, who was the first to recover from the huge shock, did not give an order to pacify the troops. This heroine, who has experienced countless battles and is nearly half a hundred years old, looked at the soldiers of the Renaissance Army who were silent and numb. Looking at the artillerymen of the Renaissance Army who were calmly continuing to fire shells at a harmonious frequency, there was no joy of victory in their hearts, but a coldness.
The first thing she thought of was: Wang Shuhui is simply irresistible
