Chapter 2: Saving the Governor of Liangguang (17)
"Don't panic, why are you always like a child?" Ding someone, who is in his early twenties, said Zhao Fu in his thirties plainly, and the latter was really speechless except for a wry smile, Ding Yi said that it was like a child, and it was okay if he said that he didn't have a city government, this kind of verbal thing, really calm down, think about people being a third-grade civil official, but there is nothing that can't figure out or feel aggrieved, Ding is qualified to open this mouth.
But now Hou Shundu has sent troops to besiege the city, and naturally the border army will not be afraid of them if they really fight, but the rebel army will besiege the city, no more, as long as there are 20,000 old people, tens of thousands of new attachments are waiting to pick up the cheap rebels, these thousands of border troops will fall into a heavy siege when they go out, and if they don't kill out of the city to be surrounded by them like this, when the food runs out, what can they do?
So at this time, when he immediately broke out, even if he gave up this city to Hou Dagou's soldiers and horses, he was not afraid. Zhao Fu has been in Guangxi for so long, and he understands that if he can't kill Hou Dagou's vitality, according to one city and one place, he will really only be dragged to death.
"The mountain brigade over there in Huaiji has sent the 201 regiment over, you can go and support it." Ding Yi smiled and raised his hand at Zhao Fu, signaling him to hurry up, but he had already begun to guide the people, "Fathers and fellow villagers, today's righteous deeds, the lower officials will be the court...... Congratulations to the righteous people of Wuzhou! ”
Those people were stunned by him, and they listened to Ding Yi mention what was the same as Huaiji, organizing the Taoist hall and so on, and what kind of officials and gentry paid for food in one. Huaiji has not suffered from military disasters these days, but everyone knows the way, and some people come to Wuzhou to collect mountain goods and sell some sought-after goods, I heard that life is prosperous.
Lord Ding looks like a blue sky master. Besides, let the official master hand over the grain together, why are you unhappy? Not suffering from poverty and inequality has always been the most fundamental habit of human beings, and naturally no one opposes it. Although he went on to say that he would spare three days a month for young people to practice. This guy was a little unhappy, but Lord Ding also said that the government would take care of food and drink for three days - usually they bring their own dry food when they go out on duty, and the government can manage food, so what's not to do? Immediately, someone shouted: "Master! I Liu Lao Er has the strength of two arms, one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, if you want to be really full, I go to practice every day! ”
Then he taught the people to go home in batches. After waiting for the government to notify the election of the elders of the Dao Hall, etc., after all this was done, Ding Fang went to the city gate. The leader was the team of personal soldiers left by Zhao Fu, and with Ding Yi, they were very consciously pretending to be mighty, and immediately several horsemen rushed out of the road to drive away unrelated people along the road, and there was no obstruction on the way for Ding someone. When he went to the gate of the city, he listened to a few of the soldiers who had cleared the road before. was talking to the soldiers guarding the city, only to hear the soldiers guarding the city laugh and say: "Really stand all the way, Angkor, you say, are those guys stupid?" ”
"You're the fucking stupid, aren't you?" The pro-soldier followed Zhao Fu for a long time, but he was a little knowledgeable, "The showmanship of the Han general was also put on that posture when the emperor was there." can really rush over from Huaiji, and still stay like this. The Han generals can't do it, they can be so durable, they are definitely elite soldiers! Turning his head to listen to the sound of horses' hooves, he hurriedly caught up, "Boss, the brother from Huaiji is here, and Lord Zhao has gone down to arrange for people to prepare soup, because without your instructions, I dare not open the city gate without permission......
Ding Yi nodded when he heard this, it seemed that this Zhao Fu was still keeping his duty, and immediately shook his head and said to those pro-soldiers: "Go and tell Zhao Fu, don't bother, they are going to be pulled out soon." Ignoring the sluggish expressions of those pro-soldiers, Ding picked up his robe and stepped up the steps, went to the city wall to look down, but saw more than a thousand troops, wearing hand-dyed camouflage uniforms, standing silently in line under the city.
The officer who led the team watched Ding Yi go up to the city wall, and immediately gave the order: "Lizheng!" The drummer beside him struck a short and concise beat, and all the soldiers immediately obeyed the order and made the same movement. Then the officer turned around and raised his hand in the direction of the city wall, and Ding Yi returned a salute.
"Report sir, the 20th Regiment of the Mountain Brigade of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty was ordered to come, there should be 1,270 people, but there are 1,200 people, and 70 people are left, please instruct Mr., the regiment commander Mao Huo, the report is complete." The regiment commander looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is also a student of Ding Junyue and Yang Shousui in that period.
Ding Yi leaned on the city wall and said to him: "Act according to Plan B." ”
"Yes!" The woolly camel saluted, turned around, and began to give orders to the troops, so the battalions were taken away, and the troops and sentry posts on duty were arranged, and those who did not have a rotating task began to build a fire and boil water on the spot, although they only completed the new training, but there were students from Rongcheng Academy and Nanjing Academy, who acted as squad and platoon company commanders in it, and the execution was also in good order.
In fact, there are really no troops of more than 1,000 people who are all out of production, train from morning to night every day, and last for several months in this Ming Dynasty. In Qi Jiguang's era, it was only a small exercise in three days, and a big exercise in five days, which was an elite soldier. It's not that I don't want to practice, but I want the soldiers to practice like this, and they have to keep up with the nutrition, at least they have to be full.
How tired and bitter, I want to eat one meal a day, I don't have anything to do in the middle of the night to come to an emergency gathering, get up five kilometers, and try it in class? It's a person who can't stand it, even if there is no mutiny, this soldier should be disabled. This is not to say that if you know how to train the army, and then you can do it, there is no solid support in the economy, and if you change someone, you will not be able to learn Ding Yi's training at all.
Zhao Fu looked at it from the city wall, his jaw was really about to fall to the ground, and Harazi was about to flow to the ground: "Elite soldiers!" Damn, this is a real soldier! Jin Gong, pull out 500 people to the last general...... No, no! A hundred people, a hundred people is enough, use these hundred people as seeds, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the last general ...... "He is a soldier, the first regiment has been practicing in the camp before, and it is basically completely closed, he can't see this scene at all, even if he acts at night, it is not so shocking,
Because Yang Shousui and Ding Junyue are not very famous; But Du Ziteng, Xing Dahe, and Hu Shan have been following Ding Yi since a few years ago, and there is no lack of their reputation in the army or in the rivers and lakes, so Zhao Fu previously thought that the personal guards led by these disciples of Ding Yi were so strong.
At this time, the array of more than 1,000 people in the whole regiment, as well as the dispatch action, were not chaotic, as if looking down on the city wall, it was extremely intuitive, this kind of shocking force, Zhao Fu really felt frightened, and then extremely greedy, so he couldn't help but ask Ding Yi to beg.
"Three meals a day, fish and meat for lunch and dinner, white rice is full, and there is a full double salary." Ding Yi said to the latter in a tone that only he and Zhao Fu could hear clearly, "You can afford a hundred people, what's the use?" Can you afford to have thousands of soldiers under your command? ”
Saying that, he patted Zhao Fu's shoulder, leaving the latter with an iron face, turned around and went down to the city, he still has a lot to do, whether it is in the Wuzhou Mansion City in disguise "fighting local tyrants and dividing the fields" - those officials and gentry who were killed by the people have a large amount of fertile land, which is also the fundamental reason why Ding Yiwei suddenly left the school and was deliberately late when he received the news; And how to establish a militia system is also something he must plan now.
Ding Yi was not very happy, because more and more things made him feel like a conspirator, for example, in Wuzhou Fucheng, he did not raise the issue of exempting agricultural taxes, because Liu Yiyi had clearly told him that it was no problem to support one Huaiji County, but there could be more states and counties, otherwise even if there was overseas grain shipped in and there was a ration system, it would not be able to support it.
Because in addition to the cost of sea freight, it also takes time, and there is a limitation on the amount of transportation.
Of course, even if Liu Yiyi didn't mention it, Ding Yi also knew very well that the reason why Liu Yiyi didn't dwell more on the issue of exempting Huaiji County from agricultural tax was because Huaiji had actually become a big factory for the Ding family, and the productivity of Huaiji Factory was more than ten times greater than the output of the factory built in Rongcheng at that time.
Because the Rongcheng factory has many disadvantages, whether it is resources, manpower, or site, Huaiji is the county seat of a whole county and ten towns and eight miles, all of which are invested in the smelting workshop and steel factory, and the influx of young and strong people from the neighboring counties has made the labor-intensive workshop get a large number of demographic dividends, which is something that cannot be compared with the Rongcheng period; The local iron ore mining in Huaiji saves the transportation cost of the province, which is a natural geographical advantage; Naturally, the Daoist Hall advocated by Ding Yi, as well as the food rationing mechanism, made Ding Yi's fame reach a terrifying peak in Huaiji.
Liu Yiyi never mentioned the exemption of agricultural tax, because even if she paid agricultural tax for Huaiji, the output of Huaiji Factory would be far more profitable and considerable than that of agricultural tax. She has never done a loss-making business, so unless Wuzhou Fucheng can develop higher profits, otherwise, it is impossible for Ding Yi to copy Huaiji's model.
However, Ding Yi is not afraid, in addition to the model of state-owned factories, it may not be a feasible way to package production to households, or to toss Wuzhou out of a commodity fair of the Ming Quanbu Political Envoy, it is not necessarily impossible to try. It's just that all these things have to be done by himself.
As for Shi Pu, as well as the two regiments dispatched, Ding Yi could not spend more energy in the meantime, he began to try to make himself feel at ease, hoping to command every rifle mentality, Ding Yi knew very well that it was absolutely undesirable.
At this time, the first regiment led by Wu Quanyi had just built the fortifications, and encountered Li Yuncong's squad of more than 20 people who came galloping on horses, and of course, thousands of volunteers who followed closely behind them. (To be continued......)
