Chapter 381: Another Passing Year
The matter of Ying Lian Gongzi did not occupy much place in Song Qing's heart, and he also did not stay for long, because he found that he was too busy, in the past, he only needed to train soldiers and horses, and take care of his own business, since Zhao Manxiong came, he didn't have to worry about business matters for a while, and with the continuous growth of those officers under him, he could also relax a lot in terms of training, and only after more than half a month, he even felt that he was completely relieved.
But after returning from Nanjing City, Song Qing found that he was wrong, and it was a big mistake, he returned to Xuzhou again was not idle, but entangled in everything, there was no time to rest, the original relaxed training was chaotic and complicated again, a large number of newly expanded recruits need to be trained from scratch, resulting in far from the number of officers, Song Qing's task is not to train soldiers, but to train those quasi-officers who have fought several battles, and are still so little experience and brains away from officers.
Even so, he is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, those former soldiers who fought bravely are not necessarily suitable for being officers, even if you have this talent, it is very troublesome for you to train from scratch, especially most of these people are illiterate, Song Qing has not been in the team for a long time to run a literacy class, and the current results are really not very good, so to teach this group of people how to lead troops to fight, every day he has to take a period of cultural classes first, so that these people can roughly learn some professional words, and the workload can be imagined.
The same is true for the economy, the original business Zhao Manxiong and his gang can be completely managed, but because he has the entire Jiangnan business all of a sudden, he also scattered a lot of people everywhere, in order not to be spread out of the pit by Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, he can only collect a large number of reports every day, and at the same time give instructions.
In addition to this, he must also develop economic talents. Because Zhao Manxiong is almost tired and crazy, when I saw Zhao Manxiong himself two days ago, I found that the fat man had lost weight twice, his eyes were red and he could play a vampire, and he also had obvious symptoms of schizophrenia when he spoke.
It's not just the business in Jiangnan. Liaodong's business is now also starting to do, Song Qing wrote a letter to that side, mainly to chat with Wu Sangui, and the rest is to talk about business matters, Jiangnan is very fond of Liaodong's leather goods and big wood, which can be sold at a very good price, and Liaodong is even more eager for things in Jiangnan, both sides are basically sincerely loving each other, and what is missing is actually just a transit station. After all, the people in that place in Liaodong are relatively terrible, Jiangnan merchants don't dare to go over, and Guan Ningjun is not very familiar with Jiangnan, so they are not diligent. Now with Song Qing as a hub, the connection has been established all of a sudden.
These are all big business, so big that Song Qing must personally master it, so it is also an indispensable daily examination. made several changes to his busy life, but fortunately, Zhao Manxiong, a person in the economy, was also expanding, so he was not so busy that he vomited blood. But the mental state is also clearly not good.
But even if he was so busy, General Song still found some time to write the script, and the repertoire was changed according to "The Legend of Chongzhen Heroes", but this time in order to make ordinary soldiers more existential, so that they could find a very unique and indispensable position under their command, so he chose to use the way of soldier assault and start writing from the perspective of an ordinary soldier.
Originally, he pondered whether he had to add such a thing as a guiding program, because he had a period of youthful rebellion in his previous life, and he was a little tired of this kind of thing, and it was not until he was twenty-six or seventeen years old that he returned to the right path, and found that if a team really wanted to do something, it had to have such a thing.
Now the same is true, after hesitating for a long time, he still decided to join the guiding program, although he can't come up with any doctrine at present, but eat General Song's food, wear General Song's clothes, follow General Song to fight, eliminate General Song's enemies, as long as you are loyal to General Song, you will definitely be able to win a big battle, etc., it is enough to constitute a relatively primitive but complete enough guiding program, at least it is definitely enough to manage these soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, maybe they are all a little rich.
Song Qing is busy at the same time, the whole Xuzhou is also crazy busy, the new barracks is a big problem first, because the number of soldiers and horses is increasing day by day, the construction of the barracks has become an urgent matter, now not only Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's beggar army is busy, other troops are also voluntarily put into it, if you go to the new camp to do some physical work after the drill and cultural class are over, you will get an egg and a bowl of broth for dinner, which is a reward for their hard work.
Then Song Qing found that the number of eggs and broth is increasing every day, the reason is very simple, after more than two years of his education, his soldiers and horses have unconsciously developed the habit of hard work, and have done it to the army as their home, since it is to build a new home for themselves, everyone is very proactive, not to mention the broth and eggs, which enhances a round of emotions, so that thousands of soldiers and horses have signed up for more than 3,000, only those crazy neurotics did not participate in this activity.
Helpless, he can only bleed again, fortunately, the business is doing very well now, and it is no problem to supply some egg broth and the like, and he still has some soldiers who specialize in growing crops on the side of the guard, plus Song Hu and Wang Chang have their own breeding farms, which are completely self-produced and sold, but it doesn't cost much.
A few months later, the brand-new military camp has been built, the business has stabilized, and the time has entered the sixth year of Chongzhen, during which Song Qing and Nanjing continue to exchange letters, especially the old man Ding, because only he will help him bring a letter to Wen Tiren, it took nearly a year of work, Song Qing's efforts have finally paid off, just half a month ago, Wen Tiren did not pass Mr. Ding for the first time, but directly wrote him a reply, which made him very excited.
His excitement lies in receiving the letter directly, rather than through the hands of Lord Ding, which means that he is also a major general of Wen Tiren's faction, like Lord Ding, he has the strength of the independent town, and according to his memory, as well as the speculation in the recent correspondence, it is not many days before Zhou Yanru steps down and gets out, which means that Wen Tiren will become the first assistant, from now until Chongzhen ten years, he can almost do things unscrupulously in these four years, Especially in the middle, it is also mixed with the wanton attacks of the Chuang army in various parts of the Central Plains, as well as Huang Taiji's second large-scale invasion, the development of troops is almost a reasonable and legal thing, and his power can increase exponentially.
After four years of hard work, he finally waited for another four years of his own, and it was a golden four years, the most important thing was that Huang Taiji entered the army for the second time, and the peasant army everywhere was getting stronger and stronger, and the imperial court had basically acquiesced to the expansion of the military leaders everywhere, which was the most critical thing for him, almost equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death.
He didn't rush to reply to Wen Tiren, because he knew that the other party was about to become the first assistant, and it would only make sense to reply at that time, and at the same time, he also had to send a large number of congratulatory gifts with the letter, which could be regarded as congratulating his temporary benefactor, and also making this first assistant remember himself, and he should have a very deep impression.
There is a general named Song Qing in Xuzhou, this general is very sensible, if there is anything good, he should think about him, this is the impression he wants to leave on Wen Tiren, and he also wants to get a contact point in the capital, the current preliminary is Li Sanlang, and others also need some people to help assist, which is considered an intelligence station in the capital.
Not only the capital should have it, but also Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other big cities in the south of the Yangtze River, including the caves in the north, Henan and Fengxiang Mansion in the west, etc., all of which must be arranged, and are currently being carried out gradually, but the capital is definitely the most important, after all, there is an emperor who can determine life and death in one word, and there are still ministers and six scholars who have the energy to kill him, so the information on the capital must be grasped at all times, and if there is any wind blowing, it will be transmitted back to Xuzhou immediately.
In his busy schedule, Song Qing is still doing the work of writing the script, his first script has actually been written, but it has been deleted and modified repeatedly, in the middle of which he found Zhou Zhi'an, Luo Xiaobei, Ding Kui and Xue Wu and others respectively, and asked them to help read the script, wanting to see the difference from the eyes of these guys with completely different personalities, and also forced them to write their feelings after reading, which was used to help him delete and revise, so this script took more than half a year to finally write it.
Subsequently, he began to select actors everywhere, the propaganda team has now been established, and he is looking for inspiration everywhere with the system written by Ding Kui, but Song Qing wants not only to give speeches everywhere, but also needs literary performances, to evolve the propaganda team into a literary propaganda team and a literary art troupe, and the first performance to be performed by this art troupe is the script of "Chongzhen Heroes" written by him, so Song Qing attaches great importance to it, and even the actors are selected by themselves in the army and the Xuzhou Qinglou, which can be regarded as dedication.
He wants to perform the first serious drama in Xuzhou City, so that this new form of propaganda will quickly become a trend, and then influence people's thinking patterns, paving the way for the next propaganda. (To be continued......)
