Chapter 133: Ming's declaration of war

Unexpectedly, Ma Xianglin finally escaped.

At that time, he was captured and was ready to be executed, but for other reasons, he was temporarily spared his life.

Who knew that in the process of escorting him down to guard, Ma Xianglin used a trick to get rid of the bindings and directly broke free from the rope in his hand. Of course, the price will not be light, at least the process of unbinding is still very strict on the loss of muscles and bones of the two arms. This guy could bear it, but he didn't snort during the whole process, which also made the guards outside not notice what happened here.

So much so, after escaping the predicament, he simply rested for a quarter of an hour, suddenly snatched the scimitar and fire gun of a soldier, and then broke out of the night and soon disappeared into the jungle. Entering the jungle, which is the main battlefield of this guy, Ma Xianglin is very accustomed to jungle warfare, no matter how to hide or how to avoid pursuit, he is very good at it, so after searching for an hour without any results, the search operation can only end.

"Damn, you can lose a big living person!" If Li Dingguo wants to say that he is not angry, it is absolutely false.

The soldiers below were also speechless, after all, this was not their guard, and the two guards in charge had already been killed.

"Forget it, the other party should have some special rope removal technique, I have heard similar methods before, but I didn't expect Ma Xianglin to actually do." Cao Wenzhao said in a low voice.

"No, we can't help it, we can't catch him. Fortunately, his troops have been annihilated by us, and there is nothing he can do in the short term. At most, be careful that he will secretly assassinate us, but if I were him, I would immediately return to my mother, Qin Liangyu. Li Dingguo said angrily.

"So, let's take advantage of this opportunity to quickly take down the Boryeong Mansion first!" Cao Wenzhao agreed with the mention of yì.

Li Dingguo guessed correctly, Ma Xianglin, who had lost all his soldiers and one of his eyes, naturally would not continue to stay here. Even if you can kill a few generals by assassination, it will not help the overall situation. Rather than spending it like this, it would be better to go back and help.

It's just that he is really very unwilling, why did he return defeated in the face of the Qin army? In the past, even if he was going to lose, he could leave calmly, how could he be as wolf as this time?

Firearms, well, yes, firearms!

Qin Jun is good at using firearms, I have heard about it from Di Bao before, but I didn't expect Qin Jun's firearms to be so fierce. Burst shots aside, the penetration ability and range are not inferior to the strong bow at all, as long as the group is equipped and used together, it can be completely invincible in the plains. He was not defeated at the first time, and he also took the advantage of jungle warfare. Rao is like this, under the ambush of the other party, he still ended up annihilated.

And that's just the guns, according to the newspaper, the Salvation Army's artillery is also very terrifying. Moreover, I have also received information from the special collaborators before, the artillery of the Salvation Army can fire flower shells, and if three or two cannons go down, the city gate or city wall will be blown up, and the other side will rush in, and there is no point in any city defense means, unless the artillery similar to the other side is also used.

Blossom bombs, is that teasing me? The Ming Dynasty has been founded for so long, and I have not heard of this kind of shell.

At most, it is a solid bullet, or a scattered bullet and a chain bomb, and a high-tech thing like a flowering bomb, but the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty Divine Machine Battalion have not studied it at all.

No, I must report what happened here to my mother, otherwise when I have to fight with the Qin army in the future, I am afraid that I will suffer again!

With such and such a mood, Ma Xianglin began the return journey to the south.

In less than a month, the entire Boryeong Province became the territory of the Qin army, and began to gradually remove military control, new administrative institutions began to be formed, new officials began to take office, and a qiē gradually returned to tranquility.

The people were naturally very repulsive to Qin Jun at the beginning, and after being the people of the Celestial Empire for so many years, they naturally did not have any identification with a thief regime. But when they found that the officials of this regime did not oppress them, and there were constantly various tax cuts and preferential policies implemented, and even many officials took the initiative to go down to the grassroots level to solve problems for the people, and finally even dozens of civil affairs projects began to be implemented, the people also began to acquiesce to the rule of the Qin army.

The title of the people of the Heavenly Empire cannot be exchanged for food. After comparing the previous behavior of Da Ming, Da Qin's behavior of putting the people in his heart, if he didn't get the slightest touch, it can only be said that the people here are a group of white-eyed wolves.

It is a pity that Cao Wenzhao was transferred back, and at the same time, Hao Shaoqi, Cao Bianjiao and Li Dingguo were also transferred back. Yuan Zongdi and Wang Er were transferred to guard Baoding Mansion, and the original army was retained except for cavalry, but the four of them were transferred back to command other troops.

It can be said that the Qin army's strategy for Sichuan has come to an end here.

The real culprit for this reason, ironically, is the cotton cloth sold by the Qin State outside.

With the use of steam engines or water power, the weaving of cloth has increased unprecedentedly, and a textile mill can produce more than twenty times as much cloth in a day as a previous handicraft workshop of the same size. A large amount of cloth was produced, except for a certain amount of cloth that was sold to the territory of the Qin state, and the rest was used for export.

Large quantities of cheap and high-quality cloth were sold, and as a result, the common people preferred to buy this cloth rather than buy a high-priced, low-quality homespun cloth. At first, of course, there was no appearance, but as two or three months passed, bankrupt farmers began to appear in several surrounding areas of Shaanxi. Without him, the men and women who originally relied on the family to support their families could not get enough food for farming, and they mainly had to rely on women to weave cloth for it.

However, the homespun cloth woven now cannot be sold, and the cost cannot be recovered if it is sold at a low price, let alone maintaining the family's income. Without food, people often consider borrowing money to live, and they may hope that such cotton cloth is just a batch.

But they never thought that such cotton cloth was constantly being transported to the market for sale, and it directly led to their cloth being completely unsellable. If this continues, no matter how much money you borrow, you won't be able to survive......

The people were forced to flee alive. Otherwise, with the character of the Chinese people, who would be able to bear to abandon their land?

Sell land cheaply, or even borrow too much money, don't just leave the land. In the past few areas that were still alive, their homes were ruined by cotton cloth. In the end, they were naturally indignant, and they came to the government to protest, saying that such cloth must be banned, otherwise they would have to flee to live elsewhere, at least in those places where there was no such cloth.

In fact, the people did not know that behind such protests, there were still several scholars and family methods.

They are also very fond of the cheap but good quality cloth, and they are eager to operate it exclusively. And some of them have a weaving workshop at home, but the finished product is not as good as this kind of cloth, and their hearts are full of resentment and anger.

Driven by selfishness, there was this farce.

The official was inextricably linked to these families, and even if the chamber of commerce that operated this kind of cloth gave him a lot of benefits, there was no way for him to ignore the influence of those families. You must know that the so-called Donglin Party is supported by this kind of family, even if it is a merchant family.

Decisively, this kind of cloth was banned, and he even wrote to the emperor, asking the whole country to ban this kind of cloth, otherwise the wealth of the world would fall into the hands of the Qin army. Not to mention, this common people have been ruined, and I am afraid that this year's taxes will not be collected.

Well, when it comes to the issue of money bags, Chongzhen has become very sensitive. It doesn't matter how this kind of cloth came from, or what is the point of storing it, he only knows that the storage of this kind of cloth will make him unable to collect taxes, and this is what must be eradicated!

The rest is simple, a total ban on the sale of this cloth.

It's just that the question arises again, what kind of cloth is forbidden? Seriously, the merchants couldn't tell the difference, and the officials couldn't tell the difference, and as a result, the locals could only buy the local homespun cloth, and the local merchants who had textile factories almost didn't go bankrupt.

Finally, a clear voice was given: those cloths came from Shaanxi, from the hands of the traitors. As long as Shaanxi is taken back, this kind of cloth will naturally disappear. Or if you master the weaving process of this cloth, Daming's weaving technology will also be upgraded to a new level.

Before the Ming Dynasty and the Qin State were at peace for a period of time, in fact, Chongzhen never gave up the idea of recovering Shaanxi.

Now the people of the Donglin Party have jumped out and shouted, and they can not only get the most advanced firearms drawings in Shaanxi, but also get a lot of good things that can be exchanged for money, so if Chongzhen doesn't fight it, it will be too brainless.

No, in fact, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, with the spirit and training process of the current soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, if it is next year, it may be fine, but this year it is obviously still early.

It's just that Chongzhen couldn't wait, and he gave orders to Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, together with Shanxi's general Zhang Hongwu, to launch an attack on Shaanxi.

After the release of the Di newspaper, Zhang Hongbin naturally did not dare to slack off, after all, this was a large-scale battle with more than 300,000 troops. So he had to transfer back Li Dingguo, Cao Wenzhao and others, who could serve as the main generals of one party, and lead other troops to deal with these three armies head-on.

Of course, in fact, this is a two-way army, if it can, Zhang Hongbin doesn't mind taking advantage of this operation to take Shanxi away.

Shanxi coal mine, he has also coveted it for a long time!
