Chapter 492: The Prince's Mansion (4)

Ling Jingyang asked, "You are officials of the Ministry of Industry, can you make artillery?" ”

Lu Mingdi replied to Ling Jingyang, the three of them know the process, but to make artillery, they need the Ordnance Bureau and the Saddle Braid, craftsmen, and iron ore to make iron.

Ling Jingyang sounded a large steel enterprise in later generations, isn't it in Wuchang Mansion?

He swore and said to the three of them: "There will be an iron mine, since the three of you are willing to come, then go north to Wuchang Mansion with the governor of Bentu, and cast cannons for the governor of Bendu in Wuchang Mansion to fight Jiannu." ”

The three of them didn't want to live in Changsha Mansion for a long time, they had to eat nothing, and they didn't have any silver, and the three technicians could only spend their days in the blacksmith shop, and the three of them knelt on the ground and expressed their willingness to go to Wuchang Mansion.

In order to reward them, Ling Jingyang gave each of them a month's salary and asked them to recruit more craftsmen.

Lu Mingdi and the three of them were grateful to Dade and immediately went to recruit talents for Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang suddenly remembered that the population of Wuchang Mansion was not very large, and he wanted the people of Changsha Mansion to move to Wuchang Mansion, Zhou Yuan persuaded him not to do this, Changsha Mansion is located in the rear, and it is easy to be snatched away by hostile forces to bring the people to the front-line state capital of Wuchang Mansion.

He successfully persuaded Ling Jingyang to dispel this idea, and Ling Jingyang asked Wan Liyun to pay close attention to various places, but some officials were dissatisfied with the taxation, and then set off a rebellion, and if there was a rebellion, it should be suppressed in time, so as not to affect the situation of resistance to the Qing Dynasty.

"Governor, don't worry, those giants in Changsha Mansion are scared of being robbed by Jiannu, let's be gentle, who dares to rebel, I'll screw his head as a night pot."

The three of them laughed.

At this time, Du Yinxi was still recruiting troops in Baoqing Mansion.

Baoqing Mansion is not as good as Changsha Mansion, there are few people in the house, and many of his subordinates are very dissatisfied.

In particular, Ling Jingyang collected taxes in Changsha Mansion, and many of his subordinates' family members came from Changsha Mansion and secretly told them that Ling Jingyang used King Ji to open the way in Changsha Mansion and collected millions of taels of silver, including a lot of silver, which was collected from the eunuchs' homes.

Hearing that his hometown had been robbed, many officials asked Guan Yinxi to return to Changsha City, expel Ling Jingyang and his subordinates, and return all the silver to them.

Plugging Yinxi was unprecedentedly angry, he deliberately went to Baoqing Mansion to recruit troops, just to create an opportunity for Ling Jingyang, he thought that Ling Jingyang levied millions of taxes in half a month, he was a god, and he also used King Ji to come to the road, which was even more imaginative.

He ordered whoever dared to go back secretly not to come in the future.

That night, an official from the sixth grade, with dozens of people quietly home, walked halfway, was attacked by a group of rogues, killed four people, injured two, and returned to the army.

A group of people in Baoqing Mansion recruited 4,000 soldiers, most of them were exiled military households, the combat effectiveness was barely strong, and after becoming an official army again, they also followed Yinxi with all their hearts, and half a month later, Yinxi led his troops back to Changsha City.

Changsha City is still under the garrison of Leng Rutie, Ling Jingyang in order not to embarrass Leng Rutie, led the troops to evacuate Changsha City last night, the whole army camped outside the city, and when Yin Xi returned to the city, there was no Ling Jingyang's soldiers in the city.

Du Yinxi is very grateful to Ling Jingyang for keeping his word, but he is more concerned about the million-dollar tax levied by Ling Jingyang.

After returning to the city, King Ji cried and ran to complain, saying that this Ling Jingyang was not a good bird, not only arrogant and unreasonable, but also tyrannical in Changsha Mansion, and blocked Yinxi to uphold justice for Changsha Mansion.

The more pitiful King Ji is, the more comfortable he is in his heart, these Ming vassal kings almost suck up the blood of the Ming Dynasty, Ling Jingyang is only a million silver, and he was snatched away by the Daxi Army and the Dashun Army, and the ones that were snatched away by Jiannu are even more innumerable.

"Lord Wang, the lower official will go to the army of Jingyang to ask for some silver for the prince."

After speaking, Du Yinxi took Leng Rutie and others to the Jingyang military camp outside the city.

Ling Jingyang and a group of generals were looking forward to it, and after the arrival of Du Yinxi, they welcomed him very warmly, telling him that these days, 900,000 taels of silver would be collected in Changsha Mansion.

He has put all the 600,000 taels of silver in the corner of the barracks and asked Du Yinxi to bring them back to the city.

Du Yinxi and Ling Jingyang said: "Ling Dudu, isn't half of it to the imperial court?" ”

"It's good to give one of the three, we have helped Your Majesty make a start, and then it depends on what Your Majesty does, this 300,000 taels of silver, maybe Your Majesty will reward us soon."

Du Yinxi couldn't help but sigh that Ling Jingyang was a stubborn person.

"Blocking the scriptures, we will return to Wuchang Mansion tomorrow, at most twenty days, we will reinforce Xiangyang Mansion, and then you will support our troops and horses, we can't withstand it, just by."

You're on top. ”

"Put a hundred hearts, I will definitely fight with Jiannu before you can't stand it, I still have some grain and grass here, and the governor of Lingdu can bring it back to Wuchang Mansion."

He didn't know that Ling Jingyang had asked Shi Tie to lead the Iron Fist Legion back to Wuchang Mansion five days ago, he had plenty of grain and grass in Changsha Mansion, but he asked him to bring 5,000 stone of grain and grass back, Ling Jingyang was respectful and might as well obey his fate and go back with grain and grass.

went back with Ling Jingyang, as well as more than 20 officials and craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry recruited by Lu Mingdi.

Ling Jingyang led a large army back to Wuchang Mansion, passing by Changde Mansion, Ling Jingyang ordered the armed advance, saw the Liukou exterminated on the spot, walked in Changde Mansion for three days, killed hundreds of Liukou, and expelled more than 1,000 Liukou to other places.

When he arrived at Yuezhou Mansion, Ling Jingyang rested here for a whole day, and withdrew to Wuchang Mansion in full spirit.

After walking for three days, Ling Jingyang finally led the army to withdraw to Wuchang Mansion, and the first thing was to announce that the whole city would hang a white flag for one day, pay tribute to Li Rufeng, who died in battle, and at the same time reorganize the guards.

A 50-man rifle platoon was formed with the captured rifles as the team, and the rifle platoon's daily training was mainly bayonet fighting, while the other guards continued to maintain cold weapon training.

The captured Fusang infantry were all thrown to the Special Bureau, Fang Xiaoyan heard that Li Rufeng was killed in battle, his heart was very painful, he returned to Wuchang Mansion, and tortured the Fusang prisoners by all means.

Because of the language barrier, no one could understand the information that Fusang soldiers said, Fang Xiaoyan regretted letting Jin Tianer go to Shanxi, and just when he was annoyed, Jin Tianer actually came back.

He didn't go to Shanxi at all, arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, Henan, he found that it was full of Qing troops, he had no confidence, and he didn't have the ability to cross Henan to Shanxi, but he didn't dare to go back, and he didn't dare to die, and here he found the remnants of the Chongzhen court.

The monarchs and ministers of the Chongzhen court were hidden in a ravine, this ravine was very hidden, and it was a secret stronghold of the Fusang people in Henan, because Ling Jingyang launched a campaign to exterminate Fusang, and the Fusang forces in Henan were eliminated, and most of the secret strongholds were also abandoned.

Zhu Youzhen has been following Ling Jingyang for so long, and he also knows some news about the Fusang people, after being defeated by the Qing army, he found this secret stronghold, led dozens of people to hide here, and escaped the Qing army's pursuit several times.
