Chapter 194
"Goo" swallowed a mouthful of saliva, because the black cloth on the tray was too much like a human head.
For some reason, the Orientals seem to prefer to cut off people's heads. In his hometown, people prefer to hang criminals. These days, Ichi has seen a lot of human heads, and the appearance of baring his teeth will make people have nightmares.
The miserable faces in the nightmare seem to be coming back to life, which is very terrifying!
The black cloth was lifted, and thankfully not a human head. It's a shell, a shell that didn't explode.
"This is what the warriors of the Yellow Flag found on the ice, a cannonball that did not explode. I hope it will be useful to your research, and I very much hope that you will be able to make a cannonball that can explode. Tell me what you need, and I'll give you the best of your support. ”
Before the interpreter could finish his words, he picked up the cannonball. Turn it backwards and look closely.
Dorgon immediately shut his mouth to see how he reacted.
"Your Excellency Baylor, I will fulfill your wishes. I'll take my men to study this shell, and you just need to send someone to bring enough pig iron. I see this thing, it's also cast iron. ”
"No problem! I'll send some blacksmiths to learn from you. "Houjin's smelting technology has always been very poor, and when I was in Hetuala, many tribes couldn't even make a pot.
After the occupation of Liaoyang, a large number of Han craftsmen were captured. However, the Jurchens focused on building swords and farm tools, and it was not a problem to make iron pots now anyway.
Lack of knowledge is the biggest problem faced by Hou Jin, and now he has met a red-haired man with more advanced firearms than Daming. Naturally, Dolgon refused to give up, and he decided to find the smartest of the Jurchens and learn about weapons from these red-haired people.
These red-haired people eat Houjin here, live Houjin, drink Houjin, and it is estimated that Houjin needs to provide other things. How can you do it without leaving anything useful!
Yu Yi also knew his situation, and if he wanted to live well in Liaodong, he firmly hugged Dolgon's thick legs. Otherwise, let alone a good day, even whether you can eat enough will be a problem.
There is no free meal in the world, and since fate is tied to these Houjin Jurchens, it is better to cooperate.
Li Xiao didn't know that he had already met the strongest opponent. Now he has a headache about how to entertain this Wei Liangqing Wei nephew.
Wei Liangqing's reaction was quite fast, as Wei Zhongxian's nephew, of course he had to intervene in such a major military feat. Although he relied on his relationship to get to the top, Wei Liangqing had a heart that actively demanded progress. Da Ming did not have the habit of being crowned a king with a different surname, and Xu Da often met with the same exploits as Chun, and in the end, it did not come to an end.
Therefore, the ultimate goal of the generals is to be a marquis, and in Li Xiao's opinion, Wei Liangqing has this purpose.
At the banquet that received the wind, Mao Wenlong was reminded not to forget his name when expressing his merits.
This is a bit shameless, obviously when you were fighting, your old man was drinking flower wine in the capital, but he wanted Lao Tzu to say that you were fighting on the front line. This time, the Liao army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and if they did this, the Liao soldiers were afraid that they would mutiny.
"You don't have to come forward with this kind of thing, I'll talk to him. Even if this marquis is not mentioned in our war report, people can still get the emperor's reward. What we have to do is to fight for the maximum benefit of the soldiers, otherwise this dead man will settle accounts with us, and don't want to sleep peacefully in the future. Mao Wenlong persuaded Li Xiao, who wanted to beat Wei Liangqing, not to beat others just because they were self-motivated.
What's more, they have a very powerful uncle.
"! This bastard took advantage of Lao Tzu's head. Li Xiao was so angry that his head was smoking, military merit was a reward for the soldiers to fight to the death. How could this kind of person be allowed to go, in case he became a general in the future, he didn't know how many soldiers he would kill.
"Can't take it, can't take it! There is an old man, and he categorically can't take advantage of it. Mao Wenlong smiled like a fox who had eaten a fat chicken, looking quite sure.
"Just let him go, this kind of thing is not for you. Lao Mao will take care of it! Sun Chengzong took a sip of tea, if he would have been angry like this before. But now, I have actually done it.
patted Li Xiao on the shoulder, and Mao Wenlong went to the front hall. Wei Liangqing was waiting there, and he had already made his words clear last night. I came today to ask Mao Wenlong for a word, Wei Liangqing felt that there should be no problem, Mao Wenlong would only offend his uncle who claimed to be nine thousand years old if he was stupid.
"Huh! Lord Wei waited for a long time, and the old man sued! "As the governor of Jiliao, the largest official in the entire Jizhou and Liaodong. Mao Wenlong has no official status at all, and he is approachable and a mess. Of course, it's up to whom. In the face of this Wei Liangqing, Mao Wenlong was still very enthusiastic.
"The Inspector has tormented the lower officials, and the matter asked by the lower officials last night ......!" It can be seen that Wei Liangqing is very anxious to return to the capital, and even omitted the greetings after the meeting.
"Master Wei's affairs, if there are difficulties, we must deal with them, and if there are no difficulties, we must deal with them. There's nothing to say about that!
It's just that the official had a headache for some trivial things last night, and he can't write a chapter today. Ah......! As soon as this person gets older, the bones of this body are useless. Ashamed! Ashamed! It made Lord Wei laugh. Mao Wenlong smiled with a red face, and he couldn't see any discomfort in his body.
"Oh! I don't know what little things the Inspector has a headache for, Liangqing also has some friends in the capital who can help the Inspector deal with one or two. "If Wei Liangqing can't hear that Mao Wenlong is going to talk about conditions, he won't have to mix in the capital.
"This time the Liao army suffered heavy casualties, and the Jinzhou garrison suffered thirty percent casualties. According to the rules of the imperial court, a bereavement pension should be given. But you know, I don't have that much silver in the Jiliao Governor's Mansion. The front fence is a cat, and the rear fence is a lackey. It's all money, and if you can't pay a pension, you always feel sorry for the soldiers. Thinking that the soldiers will shed tears after shedding blood, the old man is ......! Ay......! Can't sleep! ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head, it stands to reason that it is best to shed a few tears at this time. But after all, it's not an acting school, and the technical work of shedding tears is too demanding, and Master Mao still can't play it.
"What did Master Mao say, how could he make the soldiers cry again after bleeding? Liangqing still has a few friends in the household department, and this time when he goes back, he will definitely ask his uncle to approve the slip, and the soldiers' pension money must be allocated as soon as possible. However, the situation is not good, and the court is also very difficult. The first ...... 300,000 taels, is it enough! Wei Liangqing's eyes rolled, and he calculated a more reliable number in his mind.
Anyway, it's the money of the court, but the person who benefits in the end is himself, so why not do this kind of thing. As long as he doesn't dig out of his own pocket, Wei Liangqing will definitely not feel distressed.
"Oops! Thank you so much Lord Wei, Wen Long thanked Lord Wei on behalf of the dead and disabled soldiers. But there's one more thing ......! ”
"Oh! Inspector, please speak. ”
"Lord Wei, this dead person can be compensated. But if you are injured or disabled, there is nothing but a bereavement pension. The money and grain that the court said were good, and you also know that there is not much left in their hands. It's all for the country and the people, and the old man doesn't want them to end up.
The old man thought that giving them the land around Jinzhou could be regarded as another kind of compensation from the imperial court. Do you want to go back and tell the factory father, this ......! Hehe! ”
"It is about the well-being of the disabled soldiers, and this matter must be done and done well. Liaodong was originally snatched back from the Tartars by the warriors, and it didn't hurt to give them some land. "Liaodong has already been occupied by the Tartars, and now no one dares to come to the front line to farm the land in the pass. Rather than being desolate, it is better to distribute these crippled hills. The earth is not Lao Tzu's!
"Thank you, Lord Wei!" Mao Wenlong said, his hands kept rubbing, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"If there is any difficulty, the Inspector will bring it up. As long as it can be comprehensive, Liangqing must be thoughtful. "It can be seen that Wei Liangqing's willingness to become a marquis is very strong. For such a thing as taking the lead in military merit, it is better to say hello to the generals on the front line, and it can be written on the chapter better. No one wants to be poked in the backbone in such a thing as knighthood.
So today, as long as Mao Wenlong's request is not excessive, Wei Liangqing plans to agree to it all.
"This is a reluctant invitation, and the corrupt official mansion in Liaodong has been completely destroyed. Now to implement the control of my Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, it still needs a lot of officials. Even if the old man is tired to death, he can't do so many things.
Officials who want to come to the capital or Hebei should be reluctant to come to Liaodong, and other places are estimated to be the same. The old man thought that it was better to promote some people to be officials in Liaodong. The so-called Liao people are in charge of the Liao land, and when they know that the list is reported to the ministry, Lord Wei can help them thoroughly. ”
"Oh this thing! It's a trivial matter, Liaoyang Mansion Yin is just a five-grade official. This kind of thing is not enough to alarm His Majesty. "Wei Liangqing took everything in order.
Originally, no one in Liaodong wanted to be an official, everyone was an official for privilege and money. Without these two, who is fucking addicted to being an official. It seems that in a high-risk area like Liaodong, Lao Tzu will not go even if he resigns.
After resigning, there will be a chance to recover in a few years, and if the Tartars are killed or arrested in Liaodong, then even their lives will be gone. At this time, what is said about the Liao people guarding the Liao land can be regarded as being in the middle of the favor. This kind of condition that does not harm his own interests and can still reap benefits, Wei Liangqing feels that the more the better.
"Lord Wei is happy, and the old man is naturally happy. Oops! This mood is happy, my waist is no longer sore, and my back is no longer painful. I wrote the whole piece in one breath, and I was not tired at all. Look, the old man will start writing now. ”
