Chapter Eighty-Eight: Seeking Talents with a Lot of Money
The weather in Yuanzhou in June was unusually hot, and in the back hall of the Yuanzhou Mansion, Mo Qian and his civil and military dignitaries sat in the back hall and fanned the wind wildly.
"Chongzhen appointed Lu Xiang to be promoted to the prime minister of the five provinces, and he is also the governor of Jiangxi, Chongzhen asked him to come, it is clearly for us, what are your countermeasures?"
Mo Qian shook the fan in his hand while looking at everyone present.
Li Banghua, who rushed from Ji'an after receiving the news, was the first to stand up and speak: "Lord, Lu Xiangsheng should not be underestimated, this person is a rare person in the Ming Dynasty who is both civil and military.
After Lu Xiangsheng learned of this, he was able to recruit 10,000 troops into Beijing in a short period of time to assist in defense, which shows that this person is extremely capable.
When Chongzhen was three years old, he rectified the Daimyo, Guangping, Shunde three prefectures of soldiers and horses, Tundian training for nearly two years, and trained 30,000 elite soldiers, known as the Tianxiong Army.
Later, it was this Tianxiong army, and the rogues in the north scattered and fled, and there were rumors in the thief army that this person was called King Lu Yan, which shows that this person is powerful.
Although Lu Xiangsheng is a civilian official, he leads the troops to fight like Yue Wumu, and every time he fights, he will take the lead and set an example for the whole army, marking 30,000 elite soldiers, and everyone is not afraid of death.
He is a civil official, but he can make a big knife of more than 100 catties, which can be seen to be powerful, lord, this person should not be underestimated, and he needs to be more careful. ”
When everyone present heard this, their brows immediately furrowed.
Suddenly, two people came in from outside the hall, and everyone saw that it was the housemother Yang Suxin who helped Yang He into the back hall.
Yang He's physical condition is getting worse and worse, and he must be supported when he walks.
As soon as Mo Qian saw him coming, he hurriedly got up and stepped forward to support Yang He and said, "Grandpa, how can your body come out, you should rest more." ”
After speaking, Mo Qian looked at Yang Suxin again, and said in a reproachful tone: "How did you do it, how can you bring grandpa out?" ”
Yang Suxin was said by Mo Qian, and her face was suddenly full of grievances, and she pouted: "I don't want to either, but grandpa has to come!" ”
"Okay, okay, don't quarrel anymore, Qian'er, grandpa heard that Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Jiangxi, and he was afraid that Qian'er you were not his opponent, so I came to give you ideas!"
As soon as Mo Qian heard this, the sadness on his face disappeared instantly, and he asked with great joy: "Grandpa, what are your good ideas?" ”
Yang He smiled slightly, and said: "Lu Xiangsheng is both civil and military, this person is a top-notch person whether he uses troops or trains soldiers, although Qian'er has great talents, but after all, now your foundation is not thick, and the land of small three mansions cannot confront the Ming Dynasty head-on."
His Majesty transferred Lu Xiangsheng to Jiangxi, presumably to wipe us out, but he Lu Xiangsheng came too quickly, and he didn't even bring the Tianxiong Army with him, Qian'er, you should know what to do, right? ”
When Mo Qian heard this, he was immediately enlightened.
He asked in surprise, "Grandpa means that I want to take the initiative?" However, our army has just experienced a major war, and the soldiers and the people are exhausted. ”
At this time, Li Banghua on the side hurriedly got up and said: "Lord, we don't have to attack with the whole army, we only need to send two roads of men and horses, the number of people is not too much, two or three thousand people and horses on each road, all the way north to feint on Ruizhou, all the way east to attack Nanchang, so that he Lu Xiangsheng has no time to train with peace of mind, we can also grasp production, rectify internal affairs, and consume the resources of the three governments."
First, first of all, the Juntian policy will be fully implemented in the Sanfu area, and secondly, the lord can send a proclamator to the villages of the surrounding prefectures and counties to preach the lord's Juntian policy, I heard that many people in Ruizhou and Nanchang know about our Juntian policy, and most of the people are extremely supportive, hoping that the lord can lay down the two prefectures as soon as possible, so it can be seen that the people of Jiangxi can be used. ”
Mo Qian nodded after hearing this, but he thought of it a little more in his mind.
He said: "In the two battles of Xingan Qingjiang, our army captured thousands of firearms, but unfortunately it fell into disrepair and was easy to explode.
As far as I know, the Western firecracker has been able to hit a distance of 400 cloths away, urge the department, you go to the folk to search, see if you can find a few craftsmen who have studied the firecracker, if there is a person who can improve the firecracker technology, reward a thousand taels of silver, 100 acres of high-quality fertile land, and lead the rank of general! ”
When everyone present heard this treatment, their eyes immediately turned red.
In particular, several generals, they are desperately working on the battlefield to fight the position of generals, and the marshal now wants to reward such an important position as a general.
What is a craftsman, that is a person of three religions and nine ranks, how can such a person be in a high position.
Yi Dayong, as a general, was the first to disagree.
He stood up and objected: "Lord, isn't this reward too high, just reward money and Hetian, and then let him be a general, then what will the brothers below think?" ”
Mo Qian was not happy when he heard this, he pulled a face and said to Yi Dayong: "What do you think? How do you want to see it? If you can turn those more than 1,000 burning sticks into useful firearms, let alone the generals, I will also sit for you in the position of the commander-in-chief of the second battalion, hum! ”
Yi Dayong saw that Da Shuai was angry, and suddenly he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he quickly closed his mouth and returned to his seat and sat down.
Mo Qian looked around at the generals under his command, and said to them bitterly: "Don't be unconvinced, what age is it now, do you remember when you defended Qingjiang City, we were almost destroyed by Hua Ma Liu's ten cannons, don't underestimate firearms, I believe that in the next few hundred years, firearms will be the main weapons, and even completely replace cold weapons such as knives, guns, sticks, etc."
Think about it, when will our army be equipped with hundreds of cannons and tens of thousands of guns, and when attacking the city, we only need to send a few hundred cannons to the outside of the city, and bombard him for a day or two, not to mention the small city of Fucheng County, even if it is the provincial capital Nanchang, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the three days of artillery bombardment and will have to fall. ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately recalled the fierce battle in Qingjiang City some time ago.
Ten red-clothed cannons collapsed a city wall, and Liu Liangzuo's subordinates stormed the collapsed position for several hours, if it weren't for the soldiers of the second battalion, I am afraid that Qingjiang County would have been breached that day.
Qingjiang County was lost, how could there be such a victory as General Lu leading his troops to smash the official army camp in the back, and there would be no big victory in the back.
If you think about it in the future, when you go to war, you don't need to send your men to carry ladders to climb the city wall, and you can bombard hundreds of artillery pieces for three or five days, even if it is an iron city wall, it can be destroyed.
This kind of battle is very enjoyable when you think about it!
Thinking about it like this, everyone suddenly felt that the conditions given by the handsome were not too high, and even seemed a little low.
