After leaving Zhu Jiuye's house, Jiang Min immediately came up to praise Jin Qiude: "Dashuai, don't worry about running out of soldiers now?" ”

"You want to recruit from these merchants? Recruit their skilled workers? There was not the slightest hint of joy in Jin Qiude's tone, but it seemed a little cold.

"Yes, Dashuai," Jiang Min said puzzledly: "Not counting Jiangxi and Zhejiang, there are countless manufacturers in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, even if there are a thousand, even if we recruit a hundred people from each family, we will have an army of 100,000 at once." ”

Not to mention, "In the past, Yang Zhiyuan has always been in charge of local government affairs, contacting and communicating with the council; Bao Bowen manages R&D tools, bidding and production; Shi Ce was in charge of Funing Town and Zhaoqing Town, and the two of them did not know much about the power of the council, and Huang Shi took over this part of the work immediately after Yang Zhiyuan's death. Shi Ce was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Jiu say that he had thousands of skilled workers himself, and smiled at Jin Qiude: "The top ten big manufacturers, we can set up one or two battalions of soldiers if we recruit one, and what kind of fire factory, even Ruishi will not worry about it after recruitment." ”

Shi Ce said and waved his hand in the direction of Quanzhou and the sky: "Hou Ye is far-sighted, Lord Yang is also a talent that penetrates the heavens and the earth, hiding soldiers in the people, and laying down such a great army for Hou Ye, it is really impressive." ”

The more Shi Ce and Jiang Min talked, the happier they became, and they had already begun to discuss the issue of post-conscription training.

After returning to the barracks, Jin Qiude drove out both the left and right, looked at the two smiling subordinates with a calm face, and repeated the question just now: "You two! Want to recruit these merchants' skilled workers as soldiers? ”

"Yes," although Shi Ce and Jiang Min were extremely excited, they could also see that something was wrong at this time, and the two of them hurriedly put away their smiles and bowed down and said, "Please also show the big handsome." ”

"Do you think they are peasants in the village? Let you pull it as you please? Jin Shentong was furious, and shouted in a fierce voice: "You are so reckless, I am afraid that the trouble of the Hou Ye is not enough?" ”

Both of them were scolded.

"That Zhu Jiu has already said just now that the thousands of workers under him are divided into groups on weekdays, led by the leader, and the workers listen to the team leader, the team leader listens to the supervisor, the supervisor listens to the supervisor, and the boss listens to the boss, and the organization is strict and not under the army at all. Layer by layer are obedient to the orders of the above, if this angers a big factory owner like Zhu Jiu, how can he pay back if he orders a rebellion? Let me ask you two, do these factory owners have guns in their hands? ”

The two subordinates glanced at each other, and Shi Ce replied: "Yes, since the flintlock musket was introduced a few years ago, the merchants of Fujian and Guangdong have switched to this self-defense, and the hunters have also used them for hunting. ”

"Is there just that?" Seeing that Shi Ce still didn't understand what he meant, Jin Qiude raised his voice and shouted: "Our guns are also made by them, and their weapons are not less than ours at all, maybe even more." I was a little worried that firearms would not be strictly forbidden from entering the civilian population at first, but I thought at the time that it would be a rabble in the final analysis, and there was nothing to be afraid of. ”

Jin Qiude turned around the room twice, and he rarely had such a gaffe: "The adults are too negligent, Yang Zhiyuan is really mistaken, how can private soldiers prevail to this point?" ”

"The marshal means a private soldier?"

"Isn't this a private soldier or what?" Jin Qiude felt that Jiang Min was right, this kind of worker is a qualified soldier with a little training, and the number is extremely large: "You two still want to conscript!" If one factory owner is recruited, others will inevitably die of sorrow. Yes, there are one or two battalions of soldiers for a large factory owner, and how many battalions do we have in our hands now? I dare to say that Xu Ping didn't have so many soldiers, if they all turned back, we might not be able to beat these factory owners even if we beat Xu Ping! ”

"Dashuai, you are too ......" Shi Ce felt that Jin Qiude was a little alarmist, and he had never heard of businessmen rebelling since ancient times: "A group of businessmen, where will there be a rebellion." ”

"Fortunately, it is a group of businessmen, who have been timid for thousands of years, if a landlord has such 10,000 subordinates, it is estimated that he would have already given birth to the heart of the troubled party." Jin Qiude said and took a turn in the house again, and now the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, according to Zhu Jiu, there were still many such big factory owners: "In the past, there were no merchants who rebelled, that is, they had nothing but money, at most they hired a few dart masters to take care of the house, and they were not as good as the landlords and gentry." Now Yang Zhiyuan is different, the workers under them are not comparable to the long-term tenants in the gentry's family. ”

Shi Ce and Jiang Min have been staying in Fujian and have grown up with this group of chambers of commerce, so they have never thought much about any essential difference from the businessmen of twenty years ago, Jiang Min was relieved, Yang Zhiyuan was fine when he was alive, and Huangshi, who took over government affairs after his death, was far away in the sky, and Funing Town did not pay any less to businessmen and charges. Jiang Papi is Shi Ce's most capable general, and this title suddenly became loud last year, he said: "Handsome, but no one has ever dared not pay us." ”

"They don't understand their power yet, but if they indulge, sooner or later, someone will understand." Jin Qiude stood firm, and felt cold sweat in his palms: if the power of the merchants was not already all over Fujian and Guangdong, but only a few such factory owners in Xiapu, Jin Qiude, who found the danger, would definitely send an army to suppress it without waiting for Huangshi's order. But now Jin Qiude knows that if he doesn't do it, he will not stop doing it, and if he wants to do it, he must use lightning speed to wipe out all the factory owners who have the ability to make trouble, and he instructed his two subordinates: "You two must not reveal the meaning that we want to ponder the wealth of these merchants, I will go to Quanzhou to meet the Hou Ye, I am afraid that the Hou Ye is in danger, not in Beishun, but within the Xiao Wall." ”

Jin Qiude said that he would leave, and before leaving, he remembered and told Shi Ce and Jiang Papi: "After I leave, I am not allowed to add temporary taxes to these factory owners." ”

……

Before Xu Ping completed the repair, Li Zicheng sent an envoy to inform the national civil and military forces of Dashun, and after Nanjing fell into the hands of Dashun, he took up the post of supervisor in Beijing and changed his name to His Majesty.

When Sun Kewang learned of this, he was patrolling the territory of Huguang, organizing people to build water conservancy, helping the displaced people settle down, and at the same time dispatching troops to help the people resume production as soon as possible.

Li Dingguo was still patient at first, and when he saw that Xu Ping had laid down Hangzhou, Sun Kewang was still busy with internal affairs, so he asked: "Third brother, we are here to march south, Jiangxi is in front of us, how can we do farm work?" ”

"Now our Dashun is already eight out of ten in the world," after learning that Xu Ping was crossing the river, Sun Kewang was even less anxious to send troops: "Zhejiang is our and Huang Hou's separation, Guangxi is also under the eyes of General Gao to protect itself, just with the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi, Huang Hou is three heads and six arms can not turn over, now what we have to guard against is Cao Cao's defeat of Chibi, Fu Jian's battle of Weishui, and why is this?" It's because they're too anxious. We are all northerners, and the people in the south are already afraid of us, and most of us are still regarded as bandits by the Ming court for a long time, and if we attack them now, they will probably help Huang Hou resist desperately. Therefore, we must treat the people well, let the people of Fujian and Jiangxi see, we are going to give the world a peace, and when the people understand it, Huang Hou is alone. ”

Li Dingguo thought about it carefully, felt that Sun Kewang was right, and asked again: "Do you want to remind the general?" ”

"That's not necessary, the general is not a three-year-old child, so we don't need to remind him of everything." Sun Kewang hopes that Xu Ping can consume some more strength in Fujian Province, so that he can complete the attack first, and then go down to Jiangxi and Guangdong: "We let the people of Huguang return to their hometowns to help the general, if these people flee to Fujian and Jiangxi, they lack food and clothing and have no livelihood, and most of the men will go to the army to fight with the general." ”

After the envoy of King Shun arrived, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo congratulated King Shun on his appointment as the supervisor of the country, and the envoy of Dashun then took out a yellow silk, which turned out to be a reward given by King Shun to Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo:

King Shun made Sun Kewang the king of Qin and established the northern Shaanxi domain as the superintendent of the state, and Li Dingguo as the king of Jin and the western part of the country.

"Two kings." After reading out the will of the prison state, the envoy smiled and begged the two for money: "Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." ”

Hearing that it was the king of one word, Sun Kewang was also a little surprised, and then he was moved, King Shun gave the actual grant of the domain, and the will clearly said that he could expand the territory - of course, after the expansion, he would hand over a part of it to Dashun, and also promised that after officially ascending the throne, he would slaughter the horse and leave the ancestral teachings for the oath: those who dare to cut the domain are not considered Li Zicheng's heirs, and the princes are not guilty of resisting the army, and those who propose to cut the domain are traitorous ministers, and there is no forgiveness for killing.

Sun Kewang quickly pondered in his heart, although Li Dingguo's fief was richer than his own, but he was surrounded by Hulu, and he could expand his territory to the Western Regions and become a big country, and most of the Central Plains Dynasty was far away.

After Li Dingguo learned where the fief was, he had a thought in his heart: Jinzhong is still rich, but the north is a bitter and cold land in the desert. However, this thought is just a flash, being able to be crowned king is already the ultimate of human ministers, Li Dingguo put aside the future development for the time being, and after having the freedom of fiefdom and development, he can carefully consider the direction of development in the future.

After rewarding the envoy, Sun Kewang asked, "Has Your Majesty made any other king?" ”

"There's just a general." The envoy thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no need to hide it on this issue, and he and another envoy set off at the same time, and it was estimated that they had already arrived in Hangzhou.

"Oh, rightfully so." Sun Kewang then asked, "Where is the general?" ”

"The general was crowned King Wu and established the eastern part of Zhejiang."

……

After the envoy left, the King of Jin and the King of Qin discussed: "Your Majesty, is this to favor the general, or to guard against him?" Where can this go? ”

"Go overseas." King Qin pondered for a while, he suddenly felt that King Shun sealed the two kings of Qin and Jin, targeting the Hui domain and Mongolia, the so-called territory after opening up a part of the part, maybe King Shun's idea was to make the Hui domain and Mongolia become a feudal state ruled by the Han people, and then take back the territory within the Great Wall: "Your Majesty is not a feudal domain, this is to borrow our capital to let us find a way to make money by ourselves, and then he collects the profits." ”

The King of Jin laughed when he heard this, and now the mood of the two of them is really too good to describe: "Zhedong, has always been to guard against the Japanese Invaders, Your Majesty probably expects the general to be like us for fear of cutting the feudal domain in the future, and quickly fight out to become the Japanese king, so that the surrounding enemies will all become the feudal kingdom of Dashun." ”

"I think Your Majesty has the same intention."

……

When the news of the three kings was conferred all over the world, a group of Shun troops on the road to Shandong were marching at full speed, and the military flag on their heads was written with a big "Wu" character.

The general who led the army was Wu Sangui, the former commander-in-chief of Ming Ningyuan, and Li Zicheng had transferred the senior brother of the Shanhaiguan commander-in-chief and Tang Tong, the commander-in-chief of Juyongguan, to the defense area, so that they could both leave their nests and take up new posts in order to control them. And Wu Sangui was ordered to give up King Ning Yuanqin, the city had been lost to Lin Dan Khan, and Li Zicheng had no good place to settle Wu Sangui.

Although Liu Zongmin has always given Wu Sangui a blank look, Niu Jinxing often helps him say good things, and Li Zicheng also remembers Xu Ping's advice when he left, so he finally decided to let Wu Sangui participate in the southern expedition.

After hearing the news that the three kings were sealed, Wu Sangui was also excited, urging the army to speed up the march: "Feng Jin will seal Liao, after the unification of the world in the future, Your Majesty is going to Xiangjing, if the Qin domain is in chaos, the Jin domain can control it, but if the Liao domain is not sealed, who can control the Jin domain if it is chaotic?" ”

After hearing that Xu Ping won another battle in Hangzhou, Wu Sangui became more anxious, and hurriedly bid farewell to the Shandong defense envoy in Jinan and continued to travel south: "The general has already been crowned king and is not afraid of sharing the merits, but Yu Dong, Li Chengdong, and Liu Zeqing are ahead of me, and His Royal Highness King Wu must not attack Fujian before I arrive." ”

A subordinate general came to report with a sad face, saying that only half of the military salary was given this time: "Dashuai, I'm afraid I can only give half of the letter after the Taishi letter is up, so let the Dashuai save some flowers." ”

"Your Majesty is kind-hearted, and there is no tax on resting with the people." Wu Sangui didn't seem to be angry at all, and defended Li Zicheng: "Within three years, I'm afraid this country won't be relaxed." ”

"But Dashuai, this money is not enough." During the Ming Dynasty, the Guanning army rarely owed salaries, and this time Wu Sangui cut half of his troops according to Niu Jinxing's requirements, but he still owed half of the military salaries, which made his subordinates feel very uncomfortable.

"Ben Jiang has already said to his family before he comes out, so you are not worried," Wu Sangui persuaded his father to take out some of the money he had accumulated in the Ming Dynasty, after all, marching and fighting were different from sticking to Ningyuan, spending a lot of money, and rewarding meritorious soldiers: "But no robbery is allowed in any case!" His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Wu both hated this one terribly. ”

"You must restrain your subordinates," Wu Sangui repeatedly emphasized military discipline: "Your Majesty is really building a domain, and when the king of Liao is in hand, you can all be princes!" ”
