728 New Qiongzhou (1)
There is some truth in what he said, and the generals of Houjin, who were originally depressed, looked at each other, and their eyes were a little bright. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As soon as Dolgon saw that there was a door, he immediately continued his efforts and continued to say loudly:
"Within the border wall of the Ming Kingdom, there is also a horse and a flat river. We break through the level and attack the enemy, but we are fighting the enemy with the riding and archery skills that my Dajin warriors are best at, and today, who can stop them! If they dare to come to this plain, it will be just right for them to see the skill of my golden iron horse, so that they will not return! ”
The hoarse shouts did play a role in encouraging the atmosphere, and the eyes of the high-level Houjin executives present gradually brightened. These second and third generations of Aixin Jueluo, who founded the Qing Empire, were bold outlaws, and at least during this period, they still had enough sharpness and courage to face those enemies who seemed to be powerful and invincible.
This is how the Ming Empire was tested to find out the essence of foreign power and middle cadre. Now, the color of those green skins has to be weighed again!
"Uncle Fourteen is right! Fighting on the plains, we can use cavalry against them, the green-skinned artillery can't go ashore, and although its firearms are sharp, they are always faster than the horses and broadswords of my Eight Banners! ”
- Hauge finally got his senses, knowing that Dorgon was opening the way for his father, and he didn't care about the past grievances, and even called out the fleshy "Uncle Fourteen". And the rest of the generals and nobles also nodded their heads one after another, expressing their support.
Only Nurhachi's seventh son, Abatai, who was named Rao Yubel, opened his mouth as if to express a different opinion—it was not that the Greenskins had never fought on the plains, and that their artillery was by no means confined to ships. Wasn't Kong Youde forced to cross the sea and invest a lot of gold because more than 100,000 horses were defeated by the Greenskin in Shandong? After the Battle of Lushun, Abatai specially asked Kong Youde to probe the reality of the enemy and knew about this deed.
It's just that Abatai, as Nurhachi's concubine, does not have a high status in this group, and he usually relies on prudence and conscientiousness to get to his current status. Do you want him to go against Dolgon and Hauge? Don't do this kind of stupid thing!
What's more, he was not the only one who knew these messages - the Great Khan Emperor Taiji knew more and more about them. As far as Abatai knew, Huang Taiji recruited Kong Youde to Shenyang no less than three times, and each time it was after the defeat of Dajin and the green skin, it must have something to do with the green skin.
He believed that the little goods in Kong Youde's stomach must have been squeezed out by the Great Khan a long time ago, and the Great Khan also specially instructed Fushun to attach Li Yongfang to collect any news related to the green skin, which was even more important than the Ming court itself.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Great Khan to underestimate the enemy, and he knows better than anyone the essence of the art of war, "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles". However, at this time, Huang Taiji just stood there with a smile on his face, watching Dorgon and Hauge loudly agitating the generals - this means obviously, then of course he Abatai would not stand up like a fool to hinder the intention of the Great Khan, so although he opened his mouth, he only opened his mouth.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the field was gradually becoming warmer, and it was progressing in the direction he expected, Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction. Finally, choosing the most opportune moment, he stood up and made the final decision:
"Since everyone agrees, then it's decided - let's continue to fight to the south, break through the barrier, and attack the clear!"
Now that the high-level leaders have reached a consensus, the middle-level generals and low-level soldiers below will certainly not have the slightest doubt or hesitation about the decisions of the masters. At this time, their only task is to raise the weapon in their hands high, tear open their voices, and echo the will of their master with the loudest voice:
"Break the level! Beat the level! Attack! Attack! ”
The rolling sound and waves turned into a cold wind, floating in the land of Mongolia.
…………
Of course, no matter how fierce the cold wind from the Mongolian steppe is, it will not be able to reach Hainan Island. Fireworks in March, mid-spring, is the most beautiful season of the year in Qiongzhou, Hainan. In this "Xiaoice Era", when the climate is getting colder and colder, even Guangdong needs to wear leather clothes to protect against the cold in winter, and Hainan can still maintain the warm southern style of spring all year round.
After nearly five years of occupation and rule by the Qiongzhou navy, the current Qiongzhou capital can be called the richest, most prosperous, and even the most extravagant city in the south of the Ming Dynasty - there is no one. In fact, not to mention that Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and Zhaoqing, these famous cities in the south cannot be compared, even those who come from the southern capital Jinling, and even the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, have to admit: compared with Qiongzhou Mansion, any city under the Ming Dynasty has become scum!
Among other things, the fact that the urban roads are almost hardened or at least semi-hardened is an absolute miracle in this day and age – except that the ancient Romans were blessed with the help of natural pozzolana cement to do so. Ancient cities had to be paved with large stone slabs or slowly inlaid with small pebbles, either of which was extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming, and it was impossible to complete without a lot of money and time.
-- And this kind of thing usually has nothing to do with the government. Building bridges and paving roads has been the business of the so-called "good people" since ancient times, and without their voluntary donations, the government would not have so much spare money to do this kind of thing.
But the Qiong Navy never thinks so, for modern people, presiding over and leading the construction of the city is a natural duty of the government. And they have a very clear idea of how to build the city: street trees, public toilets, planned zoning and, of course, hard pavements with drainage ditches...... Wait a minute. All of this is a basic principle that they don't need to think about anything, and they will naturally follow it.
And the effect will naturally open the eyes of those Ming Dynasty people, and feel incredible - the achievements of urban development in the history of hundreds of years have suddenly jumped to the most mature stage here, how can this not be shocking?
Pang Yu had made a brief plan for the future development of Qiongzhou Mansion during the period of "Thirteen Taibao Town Qiongzhou", but it was only a very preliminary idea, and he himself went to Shandong soon after. It was really perfected and realized, but it was later through the unremitting efforts of engineers and technicians such as Lin Hanlong, Chen Jun, Fu Yu, Ying Rongwei, etc., as well as the vigorous persistence of Hu Wen and Zhao Lide and other previous and subsequent rulers, that today's achievements have been achieved.
With the rapid development of the city, one of the biggest changes brought about by this is that the "citizen class" has begun to develop rapidly. One example of this is the proliferation of rickshaws.
-- Walking slowly out of the back door of the government compound, before Chi Zhengjie's hand was fully raised, a tall stick boy appeared in front of him dragging a neat and tidy two-wheeled convertible, grinning, revealing eight standard white teeth.
"Where are the guests going? My car is guaranteed to be the fastest and most stable. ”
"Oh?"
Chi Zhengjie paused for a moment, he didn't plan to take a rickshaw, but this young man's enthusiastic attitude and this clean car aroused his interest. The young man wore a long-sleeved white gown, black cloth fat trousers, and his wrists and ankles were tied with thin ropes. At the waist, there is a wide cloth belt, which makes the shoulders wider and the waist more thin.
The car was in good spirits, and the car was meticulously cared for: the metal components such as the bells were polished to a sparkling finish, while the leather seats and paint surfaces were polished to a shiny finish – a clear effort on the part of the owner. But as a result, Chi Zhengjie, who was not originally a "potential customer", got into the car.
"Do you know Hongbin Lou?"
"Of course, I'm familiar with that place, and I have to run several times a day."
"Just go there, I'm not in a hurry, I don't have to run too fast."
Chi Zhengjie is still a little uncomfortable with this old social transportation mode of "people riding people", but the young man laughed very easily:
"Don't worry, I won't miss you."
Chi Zhengjie misses Chi Zhengjie a lot with a northern accent - he is a northerner, and it is rare to hear authentic northern dialect here in Hainan. Even the Mandarin they are accustomed to is inevitably influenced by the local dialect and becomes a bit sissy.
The young man ran unhurriedly, and when he ran, it was inconvenient for Chi Zhengjie to talk to him. But the young man was able to adjust the amplitude of his stride and the rhythm of his breathing and exhalation, and still maintained a state of dialogue.
"Listen to your accent, are you from the north?"
"Yes, from Hebei. You seem to be from that area? ”
"Eh, our family used to be in Tongzhou, and then we came to Shandong, and then we encountered a war and the family was gone...... And that's it. ”
It's a miserable thing, but the guy is plain to say, and obviously has completely walked out of it. Of course, Chi Zhengjie would not deliberately ask about this, but only casually chatted with him about some ordinary topics.
Sitting in such a car, it is natural to notice the same kind - from time to time there are other rickshaws staggered by on the road, and there are almost all customers on them, and it seems that the drivers are doing a good business.
"It's not like it's in the Ming Dynasty."
Chi Zhengjie muttered to himself in his heart - today's Qiongzhou Mansion, in addition to the lack of electricity supply, in all respects, actually looks a bit like the taste of a small county town in the Republic of China in the first and twenties of the twentieth century: rickshaws are running everywhere on the streets. As soon as a customer waves on the side of the road, a rickshaw driver wearing a big straw hat and dragging a canopy two-wheeler will immediately appear in front of the customer. Ask the direction, according to the distance to calculate the money, very convenient and fast.
