Chapter Eighty-Four: The Tiger Escapes (5)
Tuoba Zhenge and Murong Qiushui, since they entered the grassland, Yu Jingshi and Ding Yi took a look at each other, and then left Beijing, and they have not participated in the actions of Wudugan and Shuanghuri. Time can make everything disappear, and their ancestors buried a treasure trove in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and they can't even find it.
Just as the foundations are often dug up to unearth the ruins of thousands of years ago, the marks of the buried treasure trove have disappeared in the flames of thousands of years of war, and the remnants of bricks and tiles have been broken many times, covering everything on the treasure map. No, they didn't find anything, and if it weren't for the silver that the twenty taels of witches had given them, they might have stolen and robbed it a long time ago.
But they met Ouyang Hao, when Ouyang Hao was bumping into the immortal jump, Murong Qiushui happened to be wearing a Confucian shirt, so Ouyang Hao thought he was a person in the forest, and hurriedly called for help, and set up a bureau of immortal jumping, but the gangsters who couldn't extort money actually thought that Murong Qiushui was really Ouyang Hao's year, so they made a move to Murong Qiushui and Tuoba Zhenge, so their fate was naturally a few more unclaimed corpses in Yizhuang.
"Brother Chai, student......" Ouyang Hao sneered at Tuoba Zhenge, he didn't know that these two people were not Huaxia, he just thought they were Jianghu tycoons, "...... On the same day, I promised the two that I must teach the two to gain a firm foothold in this North Zhili. Money, students are not lacking, and now they are also on the list, as long as they are awarded the official ...... "His family was originally a big salt merchant, so naturally there is no shortage of money and silver, which is also the reason why Tuoba Zhenge and Murong Qiushui followed him," The two are in the rivers and lakes, and the students are in the temple, and the two work together within ten years. There should be no difficulty in operating a situation. ”
Murong Qiushui shook his fan lightly, but he smiled and said nothing. Tuoba Zhenge didn't have so many politeness: "With Ding Yi here, who will listen to us in the rivers and lakes of Beizhili?" In this way, you go and make an appointment with Ding Rongcheng for us! I'll help you kill him, Shilin, without Ding Rongcheng, your new science list will naturally attract people's attention; The character of Ding Rongcheng is missing from the rivers and lakes. I'm waiting for my brother, but I'm getting better. ”
Ouyang Hao said with a bitter face: "Let the students think again." So he went into the room. He regretted provoking these two reckless men, how could he want to kill Ding Rongcheng? Is this brain full of tendon meat? This man is all over the world. What about being pressed by him?
He didn't know what to do, in the patio, Tuoba Zhenge, who was leaning on the locust tree with his arms, and Murong Qiushui, who was standing under the eaves. They looked at each other and smiled. Since learning that this Ouyang Hao is a salt merchant. The two began to behave more and more vulgarly, and from time to time put forward some arguments that the bandits thought of, such as Enkezhong, who proposed to kill Ke Qian, who was known as a literary name, and others, so that Ouyang Hao would have more opportunities to be Chinese-style.
Frightened Ouyang Hao's soul is not willing to give up, in this land of the capital master, his subordinates go to kill the students who take the exam in the Shilin, is this not happy for himself or what? Besides, Ouyang Hao himself is also very confident in the article. He really didn't want to get involved in such things, so he pulled out five hundred taels of silver and gave them to the two.
So the two of them know the taste of the marrow today. But here comes again.
How could they want to assassinate Ding Rongcheng? It's crazy, these two should be imagining the rebuilding of the old country, how could they get involved with such assassins and dead soldiers? If you originally thought that you could kill Ding Yi to fight for some fame in the rivers and lakes, but now that you have been in Daming for a while, you have heard about it through the streets and alleys, and you know that Ding Rongcheng's reputation is not as popular as the grassland spread, the murderous Rakshasa is a very popular hero, whether it is in the state capital or in the countryside.
What's more, now it's Jinshi again, killing Ding Yi, that is to arouse the public indignation of the Ming Dynasty and the opposition, and at the same time slap the face of the imperial court and the Daming rivers and lakes - this kind of self-destruction is not the brain of the third prince of Feng, it is really Ouyang Hao kneeling down and kowtowing, and these two will definitely not do it.
Sure enough, after a while, Ouyang Hao's housekeeper taught people to hold two plates, but when they opened, they were four small gold ingots, each about ten taels in size, and said to the two of them: "This is the entanglement that my son-in-law sent to the two, and I wish the two of them to go south, and they will travel thousands of miles!" ”
This is the situation of the doorman, but the two are not hypocritical, they take the gold ingot and leave.
Jianghu, if you want to make a reputation, in addition to fists, you must also have money.
They had fists, but the ancestral treasury was empty, so it fell here. At this time, with money, where are you willing to stay in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty? Naturally, it is right to avoid the two capitals far away, and go to the border places to gather bandits and rebels, so as to gather the team. But maybe they and Ding Yi have a fateful fate, because the direction they chose was Guangxi.
Without him, Hou Dagou in Guangxi is in a big situation, and the chaotic place is a good place for men to seek meritorious work.
Emperor Jing summoned Ding Yi into the palace, but what he said was Guangxi.
"If Jin has always had the desire to open the border, if he digs out his heart, I am not very willing." Emperor Jing seemed to be in high spirits this night, I don't know if Lu Dao was guilty of phlegm, or wanted to get closer to Ding Yi, he built a bonfire on the side of the Qianqing Palace, and Ding Yi sat on the steps.
Xing'an persuaded Emperor Jing not to do this, but he was kicked in the head, and it took him a long time to get up, who would dare to persuade the other servants?
There are cornices above their heads to cover the wind and snow, and they are roasting on the fire, which is also comfortable, but they heard Emperor Jing say again: "Open the edge and expand the soil, naturally you can leave a name in history, I naturally understand, but as soon as the war starts, you can stop if you want to, and the territory laid down is either barbarian grazing, or barren land for slash-and-burn farming, and the taxes can't be collected, and the year is not good, so you have to go to relief, alas!" If it weren't for the fact that the rebels in Guangxi hurt Song Aiqing this time, I really don't want to pay attention to that place...... "In fact, in the original history, Song Qin was killed in the Tianshun period, and during the Jingtai period, on the Guangxi side, it was Hou Dagou who was in the vertical and horizontal.
Ding Yi smiled, but he didn't answer, he could understand what Emperor Jing meant, it was nothing more than saving money and saving trouble, which meant that Ding Yi would win a few battles, and then lock Hou Dagou in the Wuzhou area, just don't let them flow to Guangdong and Huguang, let them toss.
Huguang is Hunan and Hubei, the so-called Huguang is ripe, and the world is full. It is a very important place to produce grain, and if Hou Dagou is allowed to plunder, it will really shake the country's foundation. As for the poor Guangxi, Emperor Jing didn't cherish his belongings, but he was really persuaded by Yu Qian to be afraid.
No matter how rich the Ming Dynasty was, he couldn't bear the defeat of Yingzong the year before last, and then fought the defense of Beijing again, and leveled Huang Xiaoyang, and at the same time started fighting in Yungui, and Guangxi never stopped. This thing can't be leveled with blood, and you have to have food, grass, equipment, and soldiers to fight. At this time, it is necessary to gather more than 100,000 troops, plus no less than the number of people who need grain and grass to support a decisive battle, and the grain and grass alone are already insufficient, so there is always an order of priority.
"As mentioned earlier, 10,000 people are a division, so it is enough to use this 10,000 people, plus a few people." Ding Yi slowly said to Emperor Jing, "It is true that another 10,000 people are still needed to train and wait for replenishment. What the ministers needed was food and grass equipment for these 20,000 people, as well as a batch of iron ore to make firearms...... If you get the Taiping Mansion of Zuojiang Province, you will be able to levy local people to open mines, or you can be self-sufficient...... Then the gunpowder still needs Huguang and Guangdong to support these 20,000 people...... Wang Gong's factory, it is best to send a team of smelting and casting craftsmen to accompany the army...... If there is a craftsman with outstanding skills, the minister will give him an official position from the nine grades......"
Ding Yi said piecemeal, Jingzong listened carefully, the military strategy of this era often relied on dignified formations and upright divisions, that is, surpassing the enemy's strength and crushing the past; When it comes to numbers, they are often thousands, more than 10,000, several, etc., and there are no very exact numbers.
Listening to Ding Yi's narration, together with how to govern after the recovery of the land: "If you can recover the land, you will punish the evil, recommend the autonomy of the local people, divide the fields into households, and if you don't do farming, you will invite the old farmers from Guangdong and Hudong to teach...... If the old farmer did a good job, the ministers should also give him an official position from the ninth grade...... A college was set up to enable the children of the local people to learn the official language of the Ming Dynasty, and those who excelled in the study may be rewarded with meat, rice, flour and cloth...... When it grows, it is natural to have a sense of closeness to Daming......"
Emperor Jing waited for Ding to finish speaking, but immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'm all right!" "No matter how difficult the Ming Dynasty is, the grain and grass of 20,000 people can still be raised, you must know that the Ming Dynasty at this time, the entire GDP accounts for one-third of the world's Lu world, such a terrifying degree, if the 20,000 people can't make up the amount, it's really a joke, and Emperor Jing is thinking, how much iron can 20,000 people use? You can't have a cannon per person, can you? You can't use all firearms, can you?
So he said to Ding Yi: "It's just that firearms are afraid that they will have to transport iron ore nearby and then cast them by craftsmen, and the reserves of Jingshi are already insufficient." ”
He didn't know that the firearm Ding Yi was talking about was a firearm, not something like a hundred tigers running together.
"It's okay, it's built on the spot." Ding nodded, those handguns, small cannons that didn't even have a bracket, and a hundred tigers rushing together, this indiscriminately fired primitive rocket launcher, he really didn't have the slightest interest, "It's best to teach the craftsman to pull it out first, and the minister can send someone to train it, otherwise when I hear that I want to leave Beijing and go south, I'm afraid that I will lose a lot of ...... in the middle of the road."
Emperor Jing naturally had no objection, and Emperor Jing was extremely comfortable with the bonfire this night.
He was trying to believe in Ding Yi and trust Ding Yi.
At this time when he needs Ding Yi now.
And there is no doubt that Ding Yi is also very aware of this, and he will definitely not think that Emperor Jing is really a friend of himself: "The minister still has a request, and I hope that the saint will approve it." ”
"Why should Rujin be like this? It doesn't hurt to talk about it! "Emperor Jing is in a good mood tonight, but he is very good at talking.
Ding shook his head together: "If the minister steals the luck of the sky, he can bring Guangxi to peace, and he is willing to Yongzhen Guangxi, which is a national barrier to protect his family and state." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Jing raised his head all of a sudden and glared at Ding Yi.
Ding Yi also stared at him, ignoring the distinction between dignity and inferiority.
This is the ultimate temptation. (To be continued......)
