326 North Wind Sweeping White Grass Fold (5)
Liao Xing was called Liao Didi in the East Palace system, not because he personally went up the mountain to dig the ground, looking for a place where sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn could be grown. It is that he has excavated talents to the point of doing everything, although Pingdu Prefecture is not big, but it is not small, he can personally meet every scholar in the state, and use his talents, which is really rare.
This kind of spirit of digging into the ground is admirable, but not everyone can do it, especially a role model like Wu Weiye, who is somewhat self-conscious. In addition, the Laizhou under his jurisdiction is the place where the Son of Heaven is stationed, and the lord above naturally has the final say on how to develop, called the prefect, but in fact he is just an errand runner, and the things he can arrange are very limited.
However, this time it was released to Huaiqing and Wei Hui, but there were fewer constraints. Wu Weiye has a sense of relief from this, and wants to show his strength, but he is also apprehensive, for fear of making a mistake.
No matter how dull Wu Weiye was, he knew that the crown prince was more strict with him than other officials in the Eastern Palace. He was also quite puzzled by this. In terms of qualifications and background, he is the earliest old man of the East Palace; In terms of talent and learning, it is not comparable to those who lift people and students. However, Zhang Shiqi has already participated in Shandong politics, but he is still only a prefect with ups and downs.
There are also 369 prefects, such as Kaifeng Prefecture has jurisdiction over 4 prefectures and 30 counties, and Huaiqing and Weihui have only 12 counties combined.
It's all about that until we get there.
Wu Weiye just felt a little slack in his heart, and suddenly remembered that he had often heard Henan accents in Jinan recently, and they were all refugees who had fled from Henan. If you can't dig up the scribes yourself, can't you dig up the peasants? As long as he is promised land, these people will definitely be willing to follow him.
If there is a group of farmers who are familiar with the local area, and when the spring comes, the farmland can be reclaimed, and at least the farmers in each county can use the rest assured.
- Where does the land come from?
Wu Weiye asked himself secretly, and his mind was immediately full of the situation of the officials of the East Palace sweeping the rich room in Shandong.
- They did. I did it too. It makes sense to use thunder to act in the heart of the Bodhisattva and kill one to save ten thousand.
Wu Weiye secretly made up his mind.
How did he know that whether it was Liao Xing, the prefect of Kaifeng who was born as a businessman, or Hou Fangyu, a talented man, he had already asked people to buy the "Jinshen Lu" of the prefecture and county under his jurisdiction. But it is not to facilitate governance, but to be a fat sheep ready to operate.
I think Shandong has not fallen into the hands of thieves, and can still find the guilt to vacate a vacant land. This place in Henan is a hard-hit area where rebellion, sacrifice thieves, and all kinds of thieves come and go, who doesn't have the sin of bandits and thieves?
As long as people make up their minds and break the bottom line, they can always create miracles.
……
On the third day of December in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Manchu army was dispatched, and the entire Gyeonggi was empty. Not only were civilian grain stocks requisitioned for military rations, but even peasants were conscripted into the army in large numbers to become servants, slaves, and human shields against artillery.
The news of the Qing army's transfer also fell into Li Zicheng's ears and eyes. In order to resist the attack of more than 200,000 troops of the Western Route Army. Li Zicheng delivered the good horses he bought from Hetao in time, and also got the cotton clothes transported by the merchants.
In this deal, Li Zicheng did not spend any capital. Some of the horses were stolen, and the other part was exchanged for cotton clothes, and there were still 30,000 or 40,000 pieces of cotton clothes in Zuihou's hands.
Tens of thousands of cotton clothes mean tens of thousands of fighters.
Foot soldiers, only a large number of foot soldiers, is the way to victory for the Dashun army.
Because of Zhu Cihong's revision of the historical script, the Qing army was not able to annex Shanxi in one fell swoop. Unable to attack Shaanxi in the best condition. It also made Li Zicheng not have to run away in the wilderness, and still maintained the dignity of a peasant emperor.
Li Zicheng sat in the heart hall of the Qin Palace. This is his royal palace. He has sent people to rebuild the Daming Palace on the Longshou Yuan in the north of the city, of course, the "Daming" in the name must be taboo, so it has been changed to an earlier name: Yong'an Palace.
On Li Zicheng's "Imperial Case", there was a pamphlet sent by Prince Zhu, and the words "Phalanx Tactics" were written on the cover. did not forget the "Imperial Gift" seal on the bell, which made Li Zicheng worry and look at the heart.
Liu Zongmin stood in front of Li Zicheng and said, "Holy Lord, the phalanx contained in this book. It is indeed sharper than the battle formations that our army is used to. ”
Of course, Li Zicheng knows the common tactics of the Shun army: rushing up is the mainstream, and being able to form a horizontal formation and rush forward is already considered a strong army.
"If it's really as wonderful as it says in the book, why haven't you seen the Zhu family?" Li Zicheng and Zhu Cihong have exchanged hands a few times, and they can also recognize that it is Grandpa Qi's mandarin duck array. In this era, all kinds of military books and war books can be bought in bookstores, which is very convenient, but the problem is that the vast majority of people cannot train according to that charter even if they buy them.
This is limited by organizational ability, there is no detailed evaluation criteria, there is no strong execution, and Qi Jiajun can't be seen just by reading books.
"I'm afraid it is...... This phalanx was directed against the Eastern Army. Of course, Liu Zongmin can't say: It is impossible for us to practice the Mandarin Duck Formation, and the soldiers do not have the ability to practice every day.
After Shaanxi settled down, the Dashun army also began to drill, but the intensity of training increased, and the consumption of rations was also large. So of course, they adopted the practice of reducing the number of trainings, from one exercise every three days to one exercise every five days, and now it is a rare exercise every ten days. How does this make the soldier develop a fighting instinct? It's nice to remember where you stand.
"Can you do it?" Li Zicheng asked.
After Liu Zongmin was captured, his self-confidence was greatly frustrated, but he said safely: "You can start the training with the Zhongquan personal guard first." ”
"No need, send it directly to the generals and let them all practice accordingly." Li Zichang sighed and said, "On this, the prince of the Zhu family still has some ability, otherwise how can he annihilate Shi Tingzhu and defeat Bahana." Li Zicheng originally didn't believe the results of the "Emperor's Bulletin", and thought it was an exciting story after mixing water.
Who knew that the spies lurking in Beijing soon came to the news, and the loss of Jiannu was probably worse than what was said in the "Huangming Bulletin", so that Dolgon was so angry that he fainted, and the whole family of Jueluo Bahana was punished into the Xinzheku as slaves. After experiencing a big defeat of a stone, Li Zicheng knew that he could not achieve such a result.
"I'm afraid that the thief has bad intentions." Although Liu Zongmin felt that this possibility was extremely unlikely, he had to be reminded.
"If you let Donglu occupy Shaanxi, you will stab him in the back from Henan, and he still expects them to fight with Dongyu." Li Zicheng sneered.
"Holy Lord, do you want to transfer Huguang's people back?" Liu Zongmin said: "This time the Dongyu is menacing, I'm afraid it will be a vicious battle." ”
After the decisive battle between Li Zicheng and Sun Chuanting, he led the main force to the north and captured Shaanxi, leaving 780,000 horses in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Chengtian, and De'an. These horses are all soldiers who are old in the battle formation, which can be described as elite, and they are used to fight for Huguang and defend "Xiangjing".
It's just that Bai Wang doesn't have the talent of a famous general after all, and with such a heavy army, he still can't drive Zuo Liangyu away.
Zuo Liangyu stuck to Wuchang, raised his own respect, and had no plans to go north to Xiangyang, so since the chaos in the world, the war situation in Huguang has been calm.
Now Jingxiang Sifu is the main grain-producing area of Dashun, and it is already beyond its strength to support hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire Shaanxi. If the troops are transferred to the north again, Zuo Liangyu will definitely not let go of these four places, what will the army eat at that time?
Li Zicheng shook his head: "It's good to be able to hold it, but you can transfer troops from Ningxia." Isn't Bai Guangen in Ningxia? Let him come, now none of these Zhu thieves can be trusted, so he still puts it under his nose. Transfer all those Zhu Dynasty generals and let them take the lead! The successive defections of Jiang Hao and Tang Tong made Li Zicheng quite annoyed.
However, it is impossible to say that it is impossible to take the lead. Because now no one knows where the main forces of the Manchus crossed the river, so they can only hold along the river.
Gao Yigong and Wang Liangzhi guarded Yulin, Li Guo guarded Yan'an, and others, such as Bai Guangen and Ma Ke, were scattered between Yan'an and Xi'an, guarding the Kongdao and defending important crossings along the river. Because of the loss of landmines last time, Li Zicheng did not forget to distribute gunpowder and fierce fire oil to the anti-river departments to break the ice and ambush.
Li Zicheng personally led his guards to garrison Xi'an, and gave Liu Fangliang 5,000 men and horses, and ordered him to guard Tongguan. In his opinion, with such an arrangement, Shaanxi can be described as impregnable, and it will definitely not let the Qing soldiers succeed. What he is worried about now is that Beizhi and Shandong will not be able to bear it, so that the Qing troops will advance westward from Henan and copy his back road.
As for counting on the Ming army in Shanxi to contain the Qing soldiers, Li Zicheng didn't even think about it. (To be continued......)
