Chapter 508 doesn't mind killing 10,000 more

Johnson and Laudrup were on the same page, and they did not think that the Ming Empire, with its powerful navy, would lack the talent to sail far away. ∴, ←what★they lack is talent to understand the situation in Europe and the routes. This explanation makes sense no matter how you look at it. In fact, the Ming Dynasty is really short of seafaring talents, especially among the people, and it is difficult to find sailors and management members who are skilled in European sailing.

The opportunity must be seized, and Johnson's attitude has been very resolute since he knew that this place often threw people into the pit behind him when he died. After the physical examination, it is time to sign the deed of sale. Uh, no, it's an employment contract. I don't know what Chen Xie thinks, this decision was made by Chen Xie, and Zhang Xun had no choice but to do it. In his opinion, what's wrong with giving these ghosts a way to live and being a slave? How many people in the Ming Dynasty are willing to be slaves, not free people. The burden on ordinary people is too heavy, and many people are enslaved, but they can live better. To be honest, this contract is not much better than the deed of sale, because because of their status, Zhang Xun has to pay a ransom for them (just talking). Therefore, it is not worth a person at all, but determines the length of work. According to the table xiàn, to determine the reward and so on. Anyway, one by one, according to this contract, if there are no accidents at all, Johnson will work for this fleet for ten years. It's a long time, but there is an advantage, you can get the nationality of the Ming Dynasty, and you have to bring your family members. Many people didn't know it at first, but they signed a contract to bring their families here, although they didn't want to, it was too late.

After selecting more than 100 people, Zhang Xun ended the trip. Embark on the journey back to Huating. Naturally, there are hundreds of people who are accompanied by ghosts, and these people have nothing to do on the boat, so let's start learning the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly, many boats came to the Shimonoseki wharf, crossing the river from the opposite side of the river, and constantly docked at the wharf. The people who got off the ship were some soldiers in dark green uniforms, all of them with a murderous aura, and at first glance they were the kind of people who should not be approached.

Zhao Zhilong was shocked by this incident, and took people to the vicinity of the dock to see what was going on, but it turned out that all the people who came were the green soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion. To say that after Chen Xie took office, the changes on the dock can be said to be the biggest. The original pier was almost doubled in size. It was the Yangtze River Iron Works in Jiangning that spent money to build a new wharf. There are many iron mines around Nanjing. The best steel in the Ming Dynasty was Sugang produced in this area, and it became Foshan in the Qing Dynasty. Everyone knows who the backstage boss of this Yangtze River Iron Works is. The wharf that was built at the expense of the project was also used to transport steel. Now suddenly it has become a military dock. It immediately attracted the attention of the city of Nanjing.

Zhao Zhilong doesn't look at it. Look at this. Tremble with fear. He is a veteran soldier, and at a glance, he knows that these people are veterans of a hundred battles. Carrying a rifle and carrying a bag, he disembarked in an orderly manner. No mess at all. Previously, Chen Xie only brought 8,000 soldiers, which had already made it difficult for the leading nobles of Nanjing City to sleep, and this time the scale was even larger.

Zhao Zhilong wanted to go up and ask for an explanation, but the general sent out was stopped by the soldier. However, the general who told Sù to inquire, the general of Dengzhou Su Haochen, was ordered to lead his troops into the city and take over the defense of Nanjing. Need a clerical from the Ministry of War? You go to Chen Gebu. Zhao Zhilong's face turned white, this is not a good thing. I've been worried about Chen Xie's attack on Jiangnan's army, and now it's finally here.

"Master Hou, look!" A general shouted, Zhao Zhilong looked at the place where he fingered, after a ship docked, the boom on the pier lifted the parts off the ship one by one, and quickly assembled them into a cannon one by one. It is said that the Dengzhou battalion has sharp firepower and is well-equipped, and this time it was finally seen. The animals with their faces covered were led out of the boat, sheathed on cannons, and left. Count them at will, these are more than 30 big guys, compared to the Nanjing army equipment that I don't know if I can make a sound, these are real killing weapons.

"Don't look at it, go to the governor's palace immediately." Zhao Zhilong's face turned from white to blue, from blue to white, gritted his teeth, and stomped away.

In the Governor's Palace, all the staff members were there, surrounding Chen Xie to discuss military affairs. The whole army seems to mean Majesty, but in fact there are some sayings. Nanjing is the capital of Liu, and the south is directly under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and there is no Anhui Province in this year. In this way, the problem arises, if the army of Nanzhili is only counted as military households, there are about 100,000 people, and this is the army of the guard. But the Weisuo army is basically peasants, and the combat effectiveness can be as if they don't exist. There is also the Beijing camp, which is divided into Hechi camp, Zhenwu camp, Shenji camp and so on. Because the Ming Dynasty marched into the army, it looked a little chaotic.

"I'm afraid that there will be chaos in the whole dismantling. It is better for the cabinet to be cautious. Regarding how to rectify Nanjing's military affairs, Chen Xie came up with a plan, which was to let the Dengzhou battalion take over Nanjing first, and then clean up and rectify all walks of life in Nanjing. According to Chen Xie's plan, all the guards should be abolished, the military households should be turned into peasants, the officers should get out, and the local lords should go home and eat themselves. Anyway, it doesn't make much sense for these people to exist zài. But several staff members didn't think so, Xia Yunyi was opposed, and Xu Fuyuan didn't support it very much.

Generally speaking, it is the fear that there will be riots in the local area because of the reorganization of the army.

Chen Xie patiently listened to the opinions of these staff, but in fact, it is indeed only a draft now, and there is no conclusive conclusion. The transfer of Su Haochen's ten A-shaped battalions mainly played a deterrent role. There is another reason, that is, there are officials in the military department, and they should transfer the Dengzhou battalion that is in Henan to Sichuan to help Hong Chengchou completely solve the problem of the rogues.

To put it bluntly, these people are not well-intentioned, implying that Zhu Youzhen has too much territory occupied by the Dengzhou camp and cannot go on like this. In view of this, Chen Xie decided to transfer the Dengzhou battalion to Nanjing, and after the army was completed, he was transferred to Dayuan, and after becoming familiar with life at sea, he would seek Southeast Asia in the next step. It turned out that Su Haochen was paying fees and giving relief to the people in Henan, which caused the local gentry to complain.

Why? Su Haochen's work of immigrating to Liaodong was too strong, Henan was tossed by the rogues, the population was much smaller, and now he is immigrating on a large scale, and the landlords can't find anyone to farm for him. The other is relief, the Dengzhou battalion controls the relief of grain, and the local officials and gentry have no way to get oil and water, so they are very dissatisfied, and naturally they want to make trouble. Although Henan's geographical location is important, for Chen Xie, it is enough to get the population away. In that place in Henan, there is really no oil and water. Therefore, Chen Xie took the initiative to transfer Su Haochen to Nanjing, one was to cut off other people's minds, and the other was to prevent someone from chirping crookedly. Although it has no effect on Chen Xie, it is a little annoying.

With the stability of the domestic situation, Chen Xie had no intention of expanding the size of the army. The Dengzhou camp guarding the south of the Yangtze River is also a temporary plan. For this matter, Chen Xie also deliberately emphasized some points in his letter to Zhu Youzhen, after Henan experienced war, everything should be stable. With the departure of the Dengzhou camp, the grain used for relief still needs to be supervised.

Chen Xie has no hope for this regulation, the social structure of the Ming Dynasty is like this, and before the new class does not breed on a large scale, the country is roughly like this. In fact, when it comes to capitalism, you're going to get even more vicious. To develop industry, it is necessary to shear sheep, the wool of agriculture. Or where did the story of sheep eating people.

The purpose of rectifying the army is not to seize the military power in Jiangnan, this is what the emperor meant. Through guò to reorganize the army and reduce military spending. The problems in the army are too strict, no less than those of civilian officials. An army without combat effectiveness still has to spend money to support it, and Zhu Youzhen felt unjustly panicked. As for the question of whether Chen Xie will rebel, the old tune has been repeated, and if he wanted to rebel, he would have rebelled a long time ago. Therefore, when this matter was discussed in the imperial court, the ministers were all against it. Even Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin felt that they were in a hurry, and they should wait for the end of the thieves in Sichuan. Zhu Youzhen didn't want to wait, and he trusted Chen Xie enough, so he came so hard.

Zhao Zhilong came to the Governor's Mansion to ask to see Chen Xie, but he came in quickly and didn't wait long. Chen Xie said politely: "It's just right to come, Your Majesty's will to order me to rectify the military affairs in Jiangnan." I drew up a charter and discussed it together. ”

When Zhao Zhilong heard this, he was even more uneasy. To rectify Jiangnan military affairs, what are you transferring the Dengzhou battalion for? Thinking so in his heart, he still had to say, "Okay, it's long overdue." He is only a shallow learner, so he can only help beat the side drum. ”

Chen Xie glanced at him lightly and said, "If you want to rectify, you have to start from Jingying." I mean, the garrison of Nanking is not too much, but too little. Chen Xie had something to say, Zhao Zhilong understood it, but he was pretending to be stupid and said: "I don't understand." ”

Chen Xie sneered and said: "You are also a marquis, and the rise and fall of this Ming Dynasty is related to the future honor and disgrace of your family." Some people are in their positions and do not seek their own government, and some people are not in their positions and seek their own government. Don't you really know how many people there are in Nanjing's Jingying? Don't pretend to be a fool in front of me, since I can kill all of Zuo Liangyu's 20,000 horses, I don't care about killing 10,000 more. To put it mildly, Zuo Liangyu was killed, military discipline was corrupted, and he ravaged the place, so he can still fight. What about Nanjing's Jingying, according to the roster, are there thirty percent of the people? Even if there are three horses left, how many of them can go into battle with guns? As soon as the battle arrived, he temporarily grabbed some auxiliaries to fill the number, and when he entered the battlefield, he was about to collapse. What will such an army do? Don't think that if you have a knighthood, I can't help you. Believe it or not, I'll kill you now, and Your Majesty won't do anything to me. Pretend to be stupid with me here, you are looking for death! "The words are murderous and fierce. Zhao Zhilong didn't expect Chen Xie to come so directly, even if he was frightened, he softened on the chair and looked at Chen Xie blankly. He is also an old soldier, and he has never seen anyone so faceless.

Seeing him like this, Chen Xie continued: "After I go back, restrain all the rotten soldiers you manage, and stay in the barracks with peace of mind and don't move." Tomorrow, the Dengzhou battalion will enter the city to take over the city defense, and I will return it to you after I have supplemented and rectified the Beijing battalion. In the past, I didn't bother to care about the fact that you ate empty pay and drank the blood of soldiers. But the arrears of the existing soldiers, all of them are given to me. I'll give you half a month to count the number of people for me. Finally, I would like to remind you, don't pretend to be a ghost for me, Lao Tzu will kill. Get lost! Chen Xie roared angrily, and Zhao Zhilong's fart flowed away.
