Chapter 477
The soldiers of the patrol battalion envied the Nanjing forbidden army who surrendered, not only had porridge to drink, but also meat to eat. When it was their turn, they didn't talk about meat, and knelt down to carry a little stick and beckoned to come. Kneeling straight and straight for a morning, the back pain felt that the legs were no longer his own. At this time, even if they were allowed to run, they would not have the strength to run.
"Handsome! The officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion are also children of Yangzhou, this ...... I ask you for a ......! Shi Kefa followed Li Xiao, one old and one young, walking together. But Shi Kefa followed Li Xiao step by step!
"Patrol the battalion, return the soldiers. Tell me what they do? Embezzlement and bribery, accepting black money, and collecting protection money by setting up stalls on the street. What's more, the white wolf tricked the women into abducting their children. Such a soldier is also a child soldier?
Your Shi Kefa's soldiers are still in charge of military discipline, and these things have not been touched. But if you inquire, how many of these bastards are wronged?
It may be unjust to pull out and shoot them all, but there must be fish that have slipped through the net when they are shot one by one. Let them kneel, it can be regarded as an explanation to the people of Yangzhou. After Li Xiao finished speaking, he glanced at Shi Kefa.
Shi Kefa's face was blue and red for a while, he didn't know these things. But now this army is like this, their Nanjing Forbidden Army and Liao soldiers are all good. The remaining guards have been corrupted to the extreme. Eating empty amounts and risking military salaries is not bad.
Shi Kefa also knows these things that Li Xiao said. I wanted to plead for these people, but now I was speechless. Shi Kefa swore that he would never be such a bad person again.
"Your soldiers will be brought back to Shandong for reorganization, and these guards will be canceled in the future. In their place were standing soldiers, recruited once a year in December. One year of training, two years of duty. It is mainly responsible for maintaining social order and cracking down on bandits and tyrants. In order to avoid the suspicion of the villagers, the soldiers had to serve 500 miles away from their hometowns.
After serving for three years, the imperial court paid a unified salary and continued to return to his hometown to farm. Among them, those who are literate will be appointed as junior officials when they return to their hometowns. As for the officers, they all had to be chosen from among the graduates of the military academy. These are the future policies of the imperial court, let me tell you in advance. ”
"No! This kind of policy of the imperial court is very good, much better than the current system of guards. Shi Kefa said on his lips, but his heart was half cold.
The soldier served only three years, and he had to serve 500 miles away from home. The soldiers who completely turned the barracks into iron-clad battalions and the repeated change of officers were also selected from among the graduates of the military academy. It will be too difficult for the military to form a private force.
"You have done a very good job in Yangzhou, and you have worked hard. Go back to the capital now, Sun Lao has an important errand for you there. To give you a thorough explanation, the imperial court wants to set up a Ministry of Railways and make you a minister. This Ministry of Railways does not belong to the Six Ministries, but is an independent department that is completely independent of the Six Ministries. You, the minister, are the same as the six books. ”
"Ministry of Railways...... Promise! "Although I don't know what the Ministry of Railways is, I am at the same level as the six Shangshu, which means that at least my level has not changed when I arrived in the capital. is at the same level as the six Shangshu, presumably the power of this official is not small.
"The specific errand Mr. Sun will tell you that your Mr. Dewei is now running to Jinling with the first division. After Jiangnan is calmed down, he will be given a good errand. ”
"Thank you, Dashuai!" Shi Kefa knew that he would never touch the military power again in the future. Looking at his soldiers sitting cross-legged outside Yangzhou City watching the excitement, Shi Kefa was sad in his heart. Make contributions on the battlefield, don't think about it in this life.
"Go back to the capital today, don't worry about your soldiers. For your sake, it won't be too hard for them. Miss Green Bead will accompany you back, and you can tell her something along the way. ”
"Thank you, Dashuai!" Where is this waiting, this is the guard.
Who is Lu Zhu Shi Kefa knows too well, Li Yongfang's daughter. Seeing that Old Chen Fu is old, this court secret dish will definitely be in the hands of Li Yongfang in the future. Now Lao Chen Fu stays in the capital all day long and does not move his nest, in fact, he has given his rights to Li Yongfang, and he has lived a small life in the capital.
When people get old, they hate running around. However, Li Yongfang is in the prime of life, and he is running around in a carriage all day long. Many times, Li Xiao didn't know where he was.
Seeing Shi Kefa away, Li Xiao turned around. As long as Shi Kefa An'an goes to build the railway, the wealth that should be given is still indispensable. Not to mention other places, it is this Yangzhou siege battle. was so by him, and many people died.
In a corner of Yangzhou City, a mountain of firewood has been piled up. The corpses of the people who were carried out of the city were stacked on several layers on the firewood mountain. A torch was thrown in, and the firewood mountain full of fire oil began to burn. Steaming black smoke rose, and soon the smell of barbecue wafted away.
The crow, who was waiting on the side, left with a wail. Now that they have this taste, this meal has nothing to do with them.
The third division was responsible for defending Yangzhou City, and by the way, take a break. The second division will go to Jinling with me!
As early as half a month ago, Ao Ye's first division had begun to move south. Yesterday's news came that the city of Jiangyin had been occupied, and Li Xiu's warships were heading up the Yangtze River. In total, the river will be crossed in a day or two.
Several pavilion elders in Jinling have made a pot of porridge, and now it has reached the point of misery. Wen Tiren, Ma Shiying, and Ruan Dacheng have already defeated the last of the Donglin Party under Jinling City. As soon as the cannon sounded, the gold was ten thousand taels, and the chaebols in Jiangnan who had been in war for many years were now exhausted. It's time to end their war, no matter what, they are all descendants of China, and it is good to have a few fewer deaths.
"Elder Sun will send officials over, and you will have to take care of local affairs during this time." Since he was leaving, Li Xiao still told Cao Wenzhao uneasily.
This thing is a martial artist, and his head is full of war thinking. He is the best at cutting off people's heads to accumulate military merits, and if you let him develop the local economy, it is simply forcing Li Kui to embroider.
But now there is no way, you can't get the zodiac Zhou out of the cage to maintain the place.
"Handsome! I'm just a big boss, this bad thing to manage local civil affairs, I ......! ”
"Actually, it's easy to manage the place, you catch a few traitors. As long as there are witnesses and physical evidence, no matter what the crime, you will cut off your head for Lao Tzu. Remember, you must let the people of the city watch their heads be cut off one by one. It's best to find a gangster who has some reputation in the local area, or someone with some prestige.
To put it bluntly, it is to make the people afraid. The hearts of the common people trembled, and even those spoily gangsters could only be people with their tails between them. By the time the fear in their hearts had passed, the people sent by Elder Sun had already arrived. You just throw this stall to them, and send a group of garrisons from Liaodong to take over Yangzhou City.
I think you'll be done resting and looking for some boats to cross the river. Jiangnan is such a big place, we have to fight it city by city. ”
"It's easy to do! Killing people is our ability to watch the house, whoever fucking is a traitor, Lao Tzu will kill his dog. Cao Wenzhao slapped his chest with a "bang" and "bang".
Li Xiao nodded, making Cao Wenzhao a disaster for the local people for a long time. Relying on killing people to establish authority, it is not much of a problem to persist for a month or two. The military discipline of the Liao army has always been good, and there was no such a big military operation last night, but there was no incident of molesting women or robbing people's property. Regarding the military discipline of the Liao army, Li Xiao is quite confident.
"Marshal, it's better to let the second division stay. Master Yuan is knowledgeable, and he knows how to manage the city. Cao Wenzhao was a little unwilling and began to fight Yuan Chonghuan's idea. How cool it is to hold a gun and operate a gun, sitting in the lobby all day has a hairy meaning.
"Guard your Yangzhou, don't fight Yuan Chonghuan's idea. Jinling is defeated, who will get it? Do you count on Ao Ye? ”
"Uh......!" Now Cao Wenzhao has no words, Jinling is much more important than Yangzhou.
*************************************************
"Fuck it, it's a head all day and night." The sun in the sky seems to be breathing fire, and it is always so hot during the day. Wu Sangui, who was born and grew up in the north, is now covered with bags, painful and itchy, scratched, and yellow water. Several places had begun to fester, and the torture of the wound made Wu Sangui's temper more and more irritable.
"Alang! Don't scratch it with your hands, it will fester. Liu Ru carefully took the salt water and wiped it for Wu Sangui, but the salt water didn't seem to work. On the contrary, the more you rub it, the more red, swollen and chapped the skin becomes.
Wu Sangui is still fine, he and Liu Ru live in the airy cabin on the upper deck. The coolies who were crowded into the lower strata had little red dots wherever there were folds on their bodies. It hurts and itches to torture people crazy, and many people start to rot their crotches. It is seriously estimated that even men will not be able to do it in the future!
Those that are badly festering will be thrown directly into the sea. Before you hear two cries for help, a ferocious shark will rise on the surface of the sea. Then all you can see is a lot of blood, and sometimes there are more sharks. You can see people being torn to pieces by these beasts and devoured!
There may be a lot of people throwing it, but now no matter day or night, there are always sharks following Wu Sangui's fleet.
"You're a bastard. You tell Lao Tzu how long it will be, and his mother's Lao Tzu is about to die of heat. Wu Sangui was shirtless, wearing only big pants, and the back of his back was full of red pus. One by one, they are starving with little white spikes, which look very terrifying.
If it weren't for the sun, it would hurt more in the crotch, and Wu Sangui was very willing to be naked.
"Wu, it's good to be a little hotter now. The heavy rain in the South China Sea is very terrifying, if the wind rises at sea. Maybe our ships will be capsized, and none of us will survive. Believe me, I'm an old seafarer. Counting our voyage, we will be on the island of Java in about a week. We've been sailing for four months, except for supplies. Hold on, bear with it, and endure it will pass. ”
The current image of the water is also very bad, the hair on the head is basically bald, and the eyes and mouth are particularly large because of the thinness. In the hot weather, the skinny skinny ribs are constantly undulating. It looks like a red toad suffering from famine.
However, there was no festering place on his body, and he was an old navigator who knew how to avoid sin.
"Java! In seven days, Lao Tzu will rot to death, do you also have to throw Lao Tzu into the sea to feed the sharks. The irascible Wu Sangui is like a lion trapped in a boat.
"It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay. When you get to the island of Java, there is a kind of leaf on it. Just mash that leaf and stick it on you. Those pesky pustules will heal on their own, and I promise you'll only get darker, and nothing else will be the same as before. If I lie, God will send me to hell. "Swear by a gambling curse.
"Alright! If you don't have anything like that when you get to Java, Lao Tzu will kill you and boil oil to heal you. "I don't know when it began, there was such a saying on the ship. Those who are afflicted by diseases at sea can slowly heal as long as they are coated with the corpse oil of the dead.
I don't know who first passed it on, but as far as Wu Sangui knows, someone is already ready to hit those coolies!
"Okay, if you get to Java and you can't find the kind of leaves that heal your body. I'm at your disposal! Looking at the slightly young face in front of him, infinite sorrow welled up from the bottom of his heart.
When he set out from the port of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, he took hundreds of warships with him. 30,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force followed him across the ocean to this distant and ancient country. Damn Arabs, describe this place as full of gold, and if you are willing to grab it, you can get untold riches.
With the dream of making a fortune, he came to the Far East. Then he was attacked head-on by Li Xiao in Macau, and the small Macao swallowed up more than half of his troops. Then he went north again to unite with Houjin.
In the past few years, I haven't gone down much in the sea, and all of them are hanging around in the land of Daming.
At this age, I still have to suffer from the anger of this posterior boy. This is also something that cannot be helped, after years of war and turbulence, there is still water and soil adaptation. The Dutch soldiers who followed him to Liaodong were only a few thousand.
These thousands of people are the most elite troops in the Netherlands and the main consumer group in the local vegetable market.
But after following Huang Taiji for a long time, his subordinates around him were infected with the plague and died. When they fled to Jiangxi, there were still more than 200 people left, and they were detained in Jinling for a long time, and now there are only a dozen people. If he could compete with Wu Sangui, he would have killed Wu Sangui and established himself as king.
There is no way, the strength is not as good as others. Now it can only be sent to the fence!
"Oh! That's right! General Xiao Wu, there are still a large number of Ming immigrants on the island of Java. They are all good business players in Fujian, and we can receive soft hands when we collect taxes. ”
"Really? So what is the island of Java, and there are still Ming immigrants? "I've heard it say before that there are spices on the Java islands, and there are huge copper mines, and precious wood. Unexpectedly, there are so many Ming immigrants.
