389 And the water is bad
The green grass, the blue sky, the white clouds, the boundless grassland is like a huge green felt that continues to stretch forward, dotted with colorful small wildflowers, in this vast world, it is like being in a wonderful picture.
Perhaps, this is the origin of the picturesque country.
Pubu is a smart person, he knows that his arms can't twist his thighs, his number is large but he has no chance of winning in front of the Sichuan army, and he wisely chose to hug his thighs in the face of absolute strength, and expressed his obedience on the spot.
Wu Sangui, who was named Ping Xibo by Chongzhen, was tempted by Dolgon's promise of father and son and promoted to vassal king, and would rather be criticized and took refuge in the Manchu Qing, which was originally an enemy, how could Pubu, who was the head of ten thousand households, refuse the temptation of Lu Haoshan?
Wutou Mountain gathering, Lu Haoshan soldiers subdued the powerful Pubu without blood, and did not stay much after the acceptance, Sichuan is building a highway on a large scale, Zhao Min is pregnant with his own child and has to take care of it, Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing are still fighting fiercely, the battlefield is changing rapidly, Lu Haoshan needs to go back to the town, and after negotiating the conditions, Lu Haoshan will go home on the same day.
Lu Haoshan waved his sleeves very chicly, not taking away a cloud, but left Zhao Gongchang and the elite of the 3,000 Sichuan army, and 7,000 soon rushed over to converge, and this 10,000 Sichuan army plus the 100,000 people under Pubu was the main force to conquer the entire area.
When he came, there were only more than 100 horsemen around him when he went back, Lu Haoshan was in a hurry while patrolling the defense, and it was mid-September when he returned to Chengdu.
After going back, the first thing Lu Haoshan did was to visit Zhao Min, at this time she became pot-bellied, and she had to be supported by someone when she went in and out, although there were many inconveniences in life, but there was no trace of bitterness and regret on her face.
"Min'er, how are you doing lately?" Lu Haoshan gently stroked the protruding belly and asked softly.
Zhao Min smiled and said softly: "It's good, don't worry about the public, by the way, this trip is smooth, right?" β
For the nutrition of the fetus in the womb, Zhao Min has recently taken soup and water every day, and her body has plumped a lot, and her pretty face with pear blossoms and rain is also a little rounder, and when she laughs, she has less than two points of girl's charm and more three points of maternal brilliance, and she has successfully completed the transformation from a woman to a mother.
"You can raise the fetus with peace of mind, don't worry about other things, you can rest assured, a qiΔ shun lΓ¬." Lu Haoshan said softly.
"Well, the concubine knows." Zhao Min nodded a little shyly, and then said proudly: "I know that Xianggong is the most powerful, and nothing will be difficult for you." β
The two said a lot of intimate words, until Zhao Min felt a little sleepy, Lu Hao helped her to bed, and carefully covered her with the quilt, then left Zhao Min's boudoir softly, wanting to find Lin Yuexuan, but she didn't expect to be told by someone to tell Lin Yuexuan to go to worship God.
In the past, Zhao Min went a lot, Lin Yuexuan went less, and now that Zhao Min is successfully pregnant, Lin Yuexuan is not only a lot more active in sexual affairs, but also a lot more diligent in adding sesame oil and praying to God and making wishes, and she was bitter for a while, but she hesitated for a moment and decided to go to Li Nian, but she didn't find Li Nian when she went to Li's house, and the fat tofu Dongshi told Lu Haoshan a little embarrassed: Li Nian, his own man, set off for Guangyuan yesterday.
Jiangyou is the place where Lu Haoshan became famous, and Guangyuan is the place where Lu Haoshan's dream began, Guangyuan means too much to Lu Haoshan, there is the north gate of Sichuan, the largest military camp, the largest weapons processing workshop, and the most mysterious firearms workshop are all located in Guangyuan, if Chengdu is the center of politics, then Guangyuan is the military center.
Its important Cheng dΓΉ, the high-level of the Sichuan army from time to time to Guangyuan to sit down.
In Lu Haoshan's absence, Li Nian had to do many things himself, such as going to the Jianmen Pass reinforced with cement to check the quality of the project, such as checking the training of recruits, or going to the most important firearms workshop of the Sichuan Army to understand the situation.
The firearms workshop was originally located next to the weapons workshop by the river, but the gunpowder was afraid of fire and moisture, the humidity by the river was heavy, and it was very dangerous to make iron and make weapons next to it, and it was moved to a hidden valley a few years ago, and it was divided into a forbidden area within a radius of 30 miles.
The battle of Wangjiang Pass established the absolute status of firearms, and the status of Xu Xiang, the chief of firearms, also rose, many people saw him respectfully called Xu Dajiang, or called Xu Dajiang, that is, the officials of Guangyuan saw it, and they also greeted him politely, everyone knew that he was the person favored by the governor, and he was now the new "God of Wealth" in Sichuan.
Tong guΓ² sells firearms, Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing can say that they can give whatever they want, gold and silver, antiques, grain and grass, pig iron, beautiful women, as long as Lu Haoshan dares to open his mouth, Li Zicheng and Dolgon dare to send them, in this way, the treatment of the Sichuan army has been greatly improved, and Xu Xiang, who is in charge of firearms casting, has also become the god of wealth in the mouths of everyone.
However, at this moment, the God of Wealth is respectfully reporting the recent situation to a person: "Strategist, you see, these are newly made this month, there are 326 strokes of genuine products, and 52 strokes of defective products, and the low output is because of the recent rush to produce bullets, Li Zicheng and Dolgon are always chasing bullets, and some are in short supply." β
Li Nianxiang didn't want to think about it, so he said: "Just mend it, sell those defective products to those two wronged bosses, but it's a waste." β
After following Lu Haoshan a lot, Li Nian also became black.
"If you go back to the military division, I will let people pack it up yesterday and sell it to Fan Yongdou at a high price." Xu Xiang smiled, squeezed his eyes and frowned.
Li Nian thought for a moment, and then said: "Master Xu, the lord is going to the west to ask, this requires a large number of firearms, and I don't know how Li Zicheng and Dolgon reacted, so I found an excuse to suspend the supply of ammunition to the two." β
Selling such powerful firearms to them, Li Nian is actually opposed, because these firearms may be used on others, or they may be used against his own people, so it is better to suspend the supply to them.
"No need" Just when Xu Xiang was about to agree, a familiar and loud voice sounded from outside the door, and as soon as the words fell, Lu Haoshan walked in from outside the door with a smile.
"See my lord," Li Nian and Xu Xiang hurriedly saluted.
Lu Haoshan smiled and helped the two right-hand men up, and Li Nian said curiously: "My lord, has the matter of Fandi been dealt with?" Why did you come to Guangyuan, you should accompany the two ladies more when you come back. β
"After dealing with it, just let Pubu see our force, he obediently said soft, I have left Zhao Gongchang to deal with the matter of the Western Expedition, and when I came back, I heard that the military division came to Guangyuan to accept the transformation project of Jianmen Pass, so I followed."
Li Nian nodded and said, "As long as Pubu still has a little brain, and he knows that going against us is self-defeating, so it's okay, we can save a lot of things." β
"Yes, otherwise the transportation of grain and grass in the Western Expedition alone is a big problem."
"My lord" Li Nian said with some doubts: "Just now you said that you don't have to, do we still have everything you want from the two of you?" According to our scouts, these two men are suspected of hoarding ammunition, and if they use these ammunition against us, we are afraid, we are afraid that there will be heavy casualties. β
Seeing that Lu Haoshan was a little disapproving, knowing that his own Dongweng looked down on Li Zicheng and Dolgon, Li Nian explained: "My lord, according to the information we have arrived, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the progress all the way was smooth, in addition to the elite of the Manchu Iron Cavalry and Wu Sangui to help gain a foothold, the most important thing is that the two big men JIAN Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou gave advice to Dolgon, not to kill indiscriminately, not to torture and kill, and also claimed to return the fields, houses, and property that Li Zicheng had given out to the original owner for free, so that the old wealth of the squire who was originally squeezed by Li Zicheng Even the officials of the former dynasty were looking forward to the arrival of the Qing army, and heard that many people were secretly colluding and preparing to wait for an opportunity to move. β
"Now it seems that the two of them have won and lost each other, as if they are inseparable, but according to the students, Li Zicheng is already yesterday's yellow flower, and he will soon retreat, and the more changes there are, the more careful we must be."
Lu Haoshan said with a sneer: "There are so many soft bones, it's no wonder that the Manchus can't do it, when Dolgon occupied Beijing, he took the capital without moving a soldier or an arrow, these people are not as good as Chongzhen who committed suicide in the coal mountain." β
When Dolgon led his troops to Beijing, many officials in the former dynasty thought that Wu Sangui had defeated Li Zicheng and that the country was back in the hands of the Zhu family, but they did not expect that Dolgon's army was waiting for them, and some people were so frightened that they turned around and ran, and some soft bones were wrong and welcomed Dolgon into the palace, so Dolgon entered Beijing City and lived in Daming Palace without much effort.
Sounds ironic.
It's not surprising to think about it, many squires and ordinary people pinned their hopes on Li Zicheng at first, but they quickly lost their busy, and the recovery of stolen goods was aimed at the imperial relatives and important officials of the previous dynasty, but later it evolved into a knife for the rich, and distributed the fields of the squires to the people, offending these rich classes; In addition, the promise of not collecting taxes for three years was not realized, and in order to fight for himself with the Manchus, he asked his subordinates to collect taxes from the people, and this levy made the people disappointed in him.
lost the hearts of the people, and it became a bubble.
"My lord, you just said that you don't have to, you mean, continue to sell them firearms?"
"That's right, keep selling, as long as they can afford to pay the wages, we will sell, there is no money to earn, this is a very bad habit." Lu Haoshan said lazily.
Li Nian said a little nervously: "However, it is not good for them to hoard and deal with us." β
"Hahaha" Lu Haoshan suddenly laughed, waved his hand and retreated, and then lowered his voice and said: "There are firearms to continue to sell, and it is not polite to make money with silver, but now that materials are expensive, we need to save costs and expenses, for example, we can let craftsmen fill only two-thirds of the bullets."
Li Nian was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately realized: It's not good, the owner has bad water again, and he wants to pit Li Zicheng and Dolgon.......R1152
