Gently pushed open the firewood door, Pei Heng walked into a dilapidated courtyard, and walked out of the main room A middle-aged woman with a basin of water in her hand, after seeing Pei Heng, hurriedly smiled: "Pei Xianggong, are you back?" Yesterday relatives in the countryside sent a bag of millet and a few eggs, so I'll get you some. ”

"Sister-in-law Li, don't be busy, I'm leaving."

"What? Don't stay in the capital to take the imperial examination? I listened to the fortune teller, you are the fate of Wenqu Xing, don't look at it a little difficult now, but sooner or later it will soar into the sky, and when the time comes, I don't know how many people envy death! ”

Pei Heng smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law Li, I don't have a better place to go, so don't worry about it." By the way, now there is cheap grain at the wharf, ten taels of silver a load, hurry up and buy it. ”

"What? Ten taels? Sister-in-law Li's eyes widened: "Pei Xianggong, you're not joking, how can this grain be at a low price?" ”

"Didn't I arrest a large number of grain merchants a few days ago, and found a lot of grain from them. In addition to supplying the front-line military supplies, these grains were also sold at a flat price of 800,000 quintals to make profits with the people! ”

"Ah" Sister-in-law Li hurriedly put the basin aside and asked in horror, "This, who is so kind?" ”

"Of course it's An **, the old man of Ji Guogong personally gave the order!"

When Sister-in-law Li heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, she turned back and forth on the ground, and kept saying, "How does this feel like Grandpa Guo, what a blessing this is." ”

"Sister-in-law Li, let's go. Not necessarily how many people will grab it again! ”

"Hey, I'll go!"

Sister-in-law Li ran away. It's not bad at all compared to young people. Pei Heng chuckled, hurried to the room where he lived, took a few books, put on his clothes, and turned around and left without hesitation.

Until the dock, there were already a lot of people waiting here, most of them were the soldiers who took the lead in making trouble. In the middle of them, there were also a few scholars. If people who know them see it, they will definitely fall through the glasses. It turns out that these three are Huang Zongxi, who braved the frontier and was wise!

The young talents of Donglin back then have now become the pawns of Gu Zhenhua, which is really embarrassing!

In fact, there is no surprise that they are all people who are keen on fame. An** is in full swing, so naturally you can't miss the opportunity.

They are very familiar with the mentality of the students, so they were arranged by Gu Zhenhua to contact the scholars and force Ma Shiying and them.

"Listen, everyone, those people in the court will not let you go. But don't worry, as long as you arrive in Henan, you will have a bright future. With your skills, it's no problem to be a tuntian official, and it won't take long to be promoted to the magistrate. Even the prefect. An ** is thriving, and it is the place to show his talents. Compared to this big dye vat in Nanjing, it is much better! ”

After saying a few words, he took these scholars on the boat and headed north together.

At this time, the wharf was also very busy, and countless laborers loaded bags of rice and white noodles onto the ship, all of which were transported to Henan.

An ** asked for a lot of things, the most important of which was three million quintals of grain and five million taels of silver.

In the hands of grain merchants, 2,300,000 loads of grain were found, and 3,500,000 taels of silver, including countless jewels and antiques. Originally, Zhang Jinyan meant that all of them would be transported back to Henan, so that the number required by An ** was almost the same. However, Gu Zhenhua did not do this, and made such a scene in Nanjing, which had a huge impact and dealt a heavy blow to his prestige.

The original hero of the court has faintly become an arrogant soil emperor, if it weren't for the 40,000 heads pressing, I am afraid that Gu Zhenhua would have been scolded a long time ago.

It is precisely because of this that Gu Zhenhua decided to clean up the hearts of the people, and he only took 1.5 million quintals of the seized grain, and sold the remaining 800,000 quintals at a flat price to appease the people. He took two million taels of silver, leaving one and a half million taels for the little emperor.

In this way, Zhu Cihong, who has just been in power, has a sum of money in his hand, which can clean up people's hearts and maintain the situation. As for the rest, it is deducted from the tax in instalments. The old fox Su Quanhe has already arrived in Nanjing, and with him in charge, Gu Zhenhua is not worried that the money and grain will be in arrears.

However, even if it is 1.5 million quintals, this is not a small amount, and it is very difficult to carry. also arranged for a large number of people to come over to Gu Zhenhua.

Speaking of these people, most of them are rogues of the Dashun army. Liu Zongmin entered Henan with his men and horses, and originally wanted to take advantage of An**, but as a result, Li Xu and them lured them with food, and his people kept fleeing, and people were panicked.

By the time Liu Zongmin reacted, it was already too late. He led his henchmen to find An ** desperately, but he was hit head-on, lost his troops, and fled to Tongguan with only two or three thousand wolves.

Gu Zhenhua also expected that these 100,000 people would have some combat effectiveness, but when it came to this point, he also knew clearly in his heart that the Dashun Army was indeed finished, a force had lost its soul and fighting spirit, and what was waiting for them was when it would perish!

Based on all the news, Gu Zhenhua also knew that the time was finally ripe to attack Li Zicheng. All the generals of An ** were all summoned by Gu Zhenhua, and everyone gathered together.

Gu Zhenhua no longer pretends to be sick, he is dressed in a military uniform and is extraordinarily energetic. After more than a month of training, An**'s morale is strong, and everyone is gearing up and ready to show their talents.

"Calling everyone over today, there are two things in total, the first is to carry out another thorough reorganization of the whole army, and this time this reorganization will determine the basic structure of security, and it will not be changed lightly in the future."

"The regimental establishment should be expanded, from the original two battalions to three battalions in the city, and at the same time, each regiment should be equipped with 120 cavalry, 10 artillery pieces, and 50 off-the-box vehicles, and the total number of people should reach about 2,200."

Hearing Gu Zhenhua's words, Li Jibo smiled and said: "This is a good idea, more than 1,000 people are afraid it will be difficult to resist in the face of the crowd of Tartars, but about 2,000 people, it is very different, and they can be completely independent." With enough guns and firearms, the Tartar can hit his head and bleed. ”

"That's right, from now on, the regimental level is the largest permanent establishment of An**. Depending on the needs of the battle, different combinations will be made. In the future, when training, we must strictly grasp the combat effectiveness of each regiment, and I will personally assess it, and if everything is unqualified, the whole army must formula, and if it is not qualified in a row, the first-line troops will be defeated by the second-line troops, the second-line troops will become garrison troops, and the garrison units will be directly disbanded. People want to face trees and bark, I don't want someone to run over and cry when the time comes! ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded, and secretly made up their minds one by one, even if they fought hard and shed blood, they could not be demoted, otherwise they would have to drill into the cracks.

"There is also the formation of the Old Guard, the first batch of Old Guards is tentatively set at 3,000 people. The criteria for selection are that they must have gone through five battles, have a record of killing enemy troops, and have a record of white-knuckle combat. And the family must be innocent, and there are brothers and sisters who can be filial to their parents. After being selected into the Old Guards, each person will be given an additional five acres of land, and in the future, depending on the merits of the war, the land will be awarded! ”

Saying that, Gu Zhenhua beckoned, and immediately Kang Dali walked over with a few people, all of them were dressed in navy blue military uniforms, with red stripes on the neckline, and a one-foot-high bearskin hat on their heads, shining brightly.

When they came over, the big guys all looked straight and drooled from the elder.

"Grandpa Guo, this dress is too majestic."

"Compared to this, no one wants the mandarin duck jacket when it is thrown!"

Looking at everyone's eagerness, Gu Zhenhua was also very proud, this military uniform did take a lot of effort. The materials used are also different from the past, and the woolen wool imported from overseas is used!

Speaking of which, this thing is the main product of the West, and the thick and warm woolen velvet is unfavorable all over the world. However, in the East, they encountered trouble, the Chinese prefer the fluttering fairy style, the wide Hanfu is the favorite, and the Western wool is not disdainful at all.

However, for the army, the use of wool to make military uniforms is more straightforward and tangible, and the thick woolen wool is very warm. Therefore, when Gu Zhenhua was purchasing materials, he specially bought some woolen wool back. Moreover, textile workshops in Henan also began to spin woolen wool.

These military uniforms were the first batch of products, and their first appearance in front of everyone attracted everyone's attention.

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking!"

Zhou Yingjie circled Kang Dali several times and couldn't stop admiring.

"Look at this collar, look at this sleeve, it's neat, it's not like a coarse cloth with pleats everywhere, making a dignified soldier like a farmer!"

Xie Bin also smiled: "And this bearskin hat, big and majestic." It makes me want to quit this regiment commander and get this guard clothes to wear! ”

Yue Poyu shouted: "It's really amazing, I promise that as long as I put this clothes out and go around, I guarantee that countless people will join the guards like crazy!" ”

Gu Zhenhua laughed: "Don't be envious, don't be envious, forget about this bearskin hat, as for the woolen military uniform, it's not difficult, when the output of the workshop comes up, everyone will have a share." However, there are still important matters to discuss in front of him, according to what the captives said, Li Zicheng may not be able to survive this spring, so let's come up with an idea! ”

When the matter was discussed, everyone fell silent.

Gu Zhenhua said first: "Li Zicheng still has more than 100,000 people at the moment, and he still controls many places in southern Shaanxi, especially Tongguan, which is dangerous, and it may not be easy to attack. ”

"Outwit then!" Li Jibo said with a smile: "At the end of the strong crossbow, the thieves have long lost their sharpness, and from Liu Zongmin's subordinates, the old man even saw the dead energy. This gang must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise they may even fall into the hands of the Tartars and become traitors and lackeys. ”

Gu Zhenhua also agreed with this judgment, after all, the thieves had no pursuits, they were loosely organized, and there were not a few who surrendered to the Tartars in history.

"Mr. Li, how do you think you should outwit it?"

"It's nothing more than a soft and a hard hand, I asked Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi to write a letter to the general to persuade him to surrender, the most important thing is Li Guo and Gao Yigong, their ability is relatively good. In addition, our army should approach Tongguan and ask Li Zicheng for his guilt. ”
