Chapter 1418: The People Have Rods and Scales in Their Hearts
Bow to Xuzhou, not only Zhao Jiajun is about to sweep the world, there are also business considerations, at present, Haizhou Port and Qingjiangpu two large quantities of shipments, through the fleet of maritime merchants to the north of the Ming Dynasty, the Nanyang countries and the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, there are rumors, it is said that the Jianzhou Jurchen also bought a lot
These channels and sales channels are also urgently needed by Jiangnan cloth merchants, and these are firmly in the hands of Zhao Jiajun in Xuzhou.
Not only cotton, but also many goods, obviously Xuzhou is not the place of origin, but it can produce better and cheaper goods, and then sell them to more and farther places.
Xuzhou has mastered not only the port and the fleet, but also the regular departure of camel caravans and large convoys, with Hanjing famous wine as the medium, Xuzhou and the grassland trade is getting smoother and smoother, opening up a previously blocked trade routes, along the way from the government to the border army to the grassland tribes are all kinds of convenience.
For businessmen who only have made a fortune in their eyes in order to make a fortune, Xuzhou is everyone's god of wealth, that is, everyone's ancestors.
Although Xuzhou collects commercial taxes, they let everyone earn more, such a heavy business and heavy industry force, and it is also a very sure force to win the world, of course, everyone must flock to the top, lest they fall behind half a step behind.
Behind the Fujian and Guangdong maritime merchants is the Fujian and Guangdong families, Qingjiangpu and Jiangnan wealthy businessmen are behind the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, they are willing to bow their heads, which means that these big families are the same, these people are the actual controllers of the local area, which is expected for Xuzhou, but it is far greater than the expected harvest.
With the support of these two aspects, there are these two statements, the gold and silver that Xuzhou can use are greatly enriched, and then the military food is not worried, rather than selling it as grain, it is better to sell it as military food, and Zhao Jiajun is really paying the silver money.
These wealthy businessmen and wealthy people also sent their own children, who were used as hostages on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also had to participate in practice, which symbolized whether Zhao Jiajun accepted or did not accept them as refugeers.
On the one hand, there is a realistic demand for the expansion of Xuzhou Five University Hall, on the other hand, it is for these children, they are new to the school, not fully integrated, how can they be given practical work, but these people must be absorbed, then first exercise and study in the school.
In addition, the money all the way out of the people is more unexpected, it is actually a businessman from Shanxi, it is said that Sun Chuanting has an iron fist, and Shanxi is very complete, they dare to come over so enthusiastically, but it is helpless to think about it, Shanxi and grassland trade, the most important things are also pinched in the hands of Xuzhou, soju, needless to say, now this catty of Hanjing famous wine can be directly used as hard currency on the grassland, and the iron tools urgently needed on the grassland, only Xuzhou can provide sufficient good goods, not to mention Xuzhou's fur, There is a demand for cattle and horses, and for all kinds of special products on the grassland, and there is a large amount of silver in and out of both purchases and sales, which is also a matter of choking the neck with the root of life.
There are also some people who can't give so much silver, but they welcome Zhao Jiajun very much, such as the gentry and landlords in Henan, they know that Zhao Jiajun's arrival will harm their interests, but they still look forward to Zhao Jiajun's coming.
The reason is very simple, in all parts of Henan, the Ming vassal king has occupied too many fields and industries, and the others who are squeezed are out of breath, and the Ming Dynasty now has heavy taxes, layers of peeling and drinking blood, thieves on the ground are swarming, everyone can only form a village to protect themselves, and life is getting more and more difficult.
Henan is very close to Shandong, so it is natural to see what it is like to have no tax burden in Shandong, and also see the order under the rule of Zhao Jiajun.
You don't need any smart people, you don't need any discernment, anyone can see Zhao Jin's rule clearly, it is not a mercy that loves the people like a son, but a cruel iron curtain, obey his order, you can live, you can have food and clothing, if you don't obey, it is a punishment of death and annihilation, and you will never be able to live beyond life.
But this kind of punishment, such a cruel order, is better than this kind of chaos all the time, under the rule of Zhao Jin, you can never close your door at night, but outside most of the cities in Henan, there is no royal law, there are no rules, pure law of the jungle.
They need Zhao Jin and Zhao Jiajun to relieve the people from hanging upside down, turn the tide from the fall, give everyone a chance to live, and give everyone a chance to be a man.
And the gentry people in Beizhili, especially the gentry people near Xuzhou, have a scale in their hearts, although Zhao Jiajun did not stretch out his hand, but there have been Zhao Jiajun and Yunshanxing infiltrated by the thousands of holes, there are Yunshanxing branches in the city, and outside the city is a farmyard, everything is done according to the rules of Zhao Jiajun.
This time, Zhao Jin led the army to the north, and the daimyo governor Lu Xiangsheng was originally ready to lead the troops to intercept him, and he also knew that he would die if he went, but he was already ready to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, before leaving the army, the local gentry actually went to kowtow in front of the yamen to petition, saying that it was peaceful at this time, why bother to raise swords and soldiers, if the adults were really sympathetic to the people, they should not act rashly.
If it was in the past, Lu Xiangsheng would have to be angry at this time, and mercilessly ordered his subordinates to kill these rebellious thieves, but at this time, he could only sigh helplessly.
If such soldiers and horses were placed in other places in the Ming Dynasty, they would have been praised to the sky, but they were not treated well by the local authorities, and the reason was simple, the so-called "Tianxiong Army" thousands of men and horses had to be supplied locally, which was a big burden, not to mention, because the Tianxiong Army was here, and it would be beaten by the Zhao family army at any time, and no one was willing to take such a risk.
The Zhao family army is in the local area, not only does not commit any crimes in the autumn, but also establishes a set of supply system in the local area, the purchase of real money and silver, can also take care of the children in many places, so that the market becomes prosperous, and the Tianxiong army is a garrison after all, and many things cannot be managed, so as soon as the Zhao family army comes, any bandit gang will be swept away, and the place will be changed.
In such a comparison, it is natural to distinguish obvious superiority and inferiority, not to mention the general trend, the more Xuzhou is nearby, the more aware of this, especially the local government acquiesces and even connives, and makes a fortune within the scope of Zhao Jiajun and Tianxiong Army, although this matter was liquidated by Zhao Jiajun not long after, but Lu Xiangsheng was quite helpless.
As for Wei Zhongxian's former transit through his own territory, it is said that there are some troubles involving the rights and wrongs of Xuzhou, if Lu Xiangsheng in the past must have felt that the eunuch was wrong, but the experience of the past few years made him prefer to turn a blind eye to this matter.
And the soldiers and horses under the command of Lu Xiangsheng also understand this, they are trained according to the training method of the Zhao family, and even the firearms are as much as possible to get some birds and artillery, and their head is said to be the regimental training of the Zhao family.
It's okay not to practice, the more you practice, the more you realize how big the gap is, and the more you practice, the more you realize how strong the Zhao family army is, the Tianxiong army has the confidence to sweep most of the officers and troops who practiced the old law, but they feel that they will be smashed in front of the Zhao family army.
With the passage of time, everyone knows some things, and it is not clear that those serious and responsible sect leaders have not escaped, so what is the purpose of Zhao Jiajun letting the enemy be so strong, not to mention those chilling speculations, this confidence is enough to make people chill.
If you have to fight, you have to go up to death hard, Lu Xiangsheng is very good at training soldiers, plus he himself is already outstanding in martial arts, there is no one in this Tianxiong army who dares to be domineering and not obey orders, but now not only everyone doesn't want to fight, but the same is true for the people, Lord Lu cares most about the people's will, and now the people's will is like this, let's not go against the people's will.
"This world is no longer the world of the Ming Dynasty." Lu Xiangsheng lamented in public.
Fortunately, a will of the Beijing Division allowed him to avoid this difficulty, and the Beijing Division mobilized soldiers and horses with combat effectiveness from all over the North Zhili to escort the capital and guard the capital, although this move was of no use in the eyes of those who knew the soldiers.
What makes Lu Xiangsheng sad the most is not the local people, at any time, the local gentry and people do not want to be affected by the war and be implicated in themselves, this is normal, but the officials of the prefecture and county of the Daimyo are actually like this, they are the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they take the fortune of the Ming Dynasty, and their wealth is all because of this Ming, but they still take care of themselves like this.
However, Lu Xiangsheng was not so distressed, and even he himself was strange, he didn't feel so distressed about what was happening in front of him, and it seemed that the righteousness rooted in his heart did not work.
Lu Xiangsheng quickly found the reason, but the reason was just thinking about it in his heart and not telling others.
"Although what Zhao Jiajun did was incomprehensible, it was much stronger than what Daming did, so let Zhao Jiajun come, it may be a better choice for the people and for the country."
Just when the Zhao army arrived in Jining, there was an urgent report from Shanxi, Sun Chuanting led the new army of Datong, and defeated the Chahar department outside the Saiwai, beheading more than 2,000
This news really boosted the hearts of the people in the world, and also made many originally determined attitudes begin to hesitate, since Chengzu Zhu Di to the present, the fierce battle with the Mongolian tribes, how have he beheaded more than a thousand, this time it is two thousand, it seems that Sun Chuanting has really trained a strong army.
Who doesn't know that Sun Chuanting's Datong New Army was trained in accordance with Zhao Jiajun's new law, could it be that this reform has really worked?
Even all parties in Shandong are advising Zhao Jin to be cautious, according to the thoughts of all parties, originally the Zhao army was invincible in the north and swept the world, but now there is suddenly more Datong new army, if this army takes the opportunity to attack the flank or rear of the Zhao army, it will be more or less troublesome.
?? Now is the time to do great things, there can be no twists and turns, so as to be safe, but this time Zhao Jin still did not listen to the advice of the people and marched north along the canal.
