Chapter 339: Integrating Eastern Zhejiang
Less than two months after Liu Daxia arrived in Zhejiang, he made "public resentment boiling".
The impeachment chapter snowflakes entered Beijing, and the imperial officials of the DPRK and China also began to impeach, faintly describing Zhejiang as a scene of imminent civil revolt.
Fortunately, the three ministers all spoke out to defend it, and Emperor Hongzhi also knew the truth, so he just issued a reprimand, asking Liu Daxia to be considerate of the place.
However, Liu Daxia, who offended businessmen, gentry and officials, has already given Zhejiang military and government a new look in less than two months.
He didn't take a penny of silver from the state treasury, but only used the treasury silver from the Hangzhou treasury, as well as the tax silver seized by the banknotes, plus the money that the merchants "pledged", so that the various guards could get a rare full military salary.
This made the low-level military households of the guard station grateful to the governor, and after so many years, they finally saw some food.
And Ma Wensheng came back to report that King Huang was willing to reduce the Shuangyu garrison, as a sincerity in negotiations, which made Liu Daxia even more happy.
Although he thought it was strange, he still directly proposed that the Ming Dynasty should send officials to Shuangyu Island to supervise the number of garrisons of the Tu people.
If the king is unwilling to obey this word, then he has nothing to lose, and if the king keeps this promise in order to continue the negotiations, then it will be much easier to recover Shuangyu Island.
In order to seize this opportunity, he issued several orders from the governor, calling for the rapid mobilization of troops in various places.
……
At the end of May, Jin Ze, the commander-in-chief of Southern Jiangxi, took the lead in leading 2,000 Jiangxi soldiers to Ningbo.
This made Liu Daxia breathe a sigh of relief, these two thousand Jiangxi soldiers were neatly marched and "strict in military discipline", as if they were Jin Ze's reliance.
"Brother Derun, it seems that you are still willing to pay for it!" After the soldiers entered the camp, Liu Daxia couldn't help but joke.
He and Jin Ze is an old friend, when he was the right political envoy of Guangdong, on the way to take office, through Ganzhou, and Jin Ze had a very happy relationship.
Jin Ze smiled and arched his hand: "Even if Brother Shi Yong has a life, my brother doesn't dare to disobey!" These two thousand elite soldiers are my hard work for several years, and I am here to help my brother! ”
Liu Daxia took Jin Ze's hand and said with emotion: "Ganzhou is the farthest away, but you are the first to arrive, alas, born in peace and died in sorrow!" Presumably, Nanzhili and other places have been peaceful for a long time, and the martial artists have long been fat! ”
Jin Ze said with a smile: "Brother Shi Yong, don't worry, my two thousand elite soldiers, galloping through the mountains like walking on flat ground, are all soldiers who have fought bandits for five or six years, which is considered one in a hundred, and the people are just overseas barbarians, and these two thousand elite soldiers are enough!"
"Alas, Derun must not underestimate the enemy! The Bandits are no better than the bandits, and their troubles are even far better than those of the Mongol Tartars! ”
"Oh? Aren't the Gang Bandits? ”
Liu Daxia sighed and waved his hand for the guards to fetch an arquebus.
"This is a firearm purchased by my brother from Dongqin, called an arquebus!"
Kanazawa took it curiously, and after a while, he said: "Firearms, there are also three-eyed guns in our army, but they are not used, and they can only strengthen the army!"
Liu Daxia lit a fire rope with his own hands, and after loading the ammunition, he picked up the arquebus and aimed at a tree branch in the distance.
The branch in the distance broke in response, and Liu Daxia secretly practiced the arquebus, and the shot was quite accurate!
Jin Ze was surprised, and his face also changed, which was a full thirty or forty steps.
"This ...... This black firearm, so powerful? ”
"Not only that, but during the test, you can penetrate the armor within 100 steps, but you will lose your head in 100 steps!" Liu Daxia sighed.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Kanazawa's mouth, and when he first received the order, he was still very happy, thinking that it was nothing more than to exterminate the Japanese invaders.
Since Liu Daxia is the governor of the three provinces, he must have come to make military achievements on this trip.
But now that he saw it, he immediately regretted bringing the elite. It's just that the wood is already in the boat, and he has to fight hard.
In fact, the elite is only equivalent to the guards in terms of the soldiers, the volunteers of Nanjiang in another time and space, and the general soldiers of Nanjiang who once fought did not dare to go out of the city. Moreover, the Jiajing Rebellion also transferred Jiangxi troops to "help suppress", and the result was that the imperial court was completely disappointed with the existing army in the southeast and made up its mind to train a new army.
Liu Daxia did not disclose any worries in advance, so that this chief soldier would not have the heart to protect the enemy.
"In this way, the people of the Dead are indeed superior!" Kanazawa said.
"Well, this is also what I'm worried about, the details of the people are unknown, not like the Mongols, I have been dealing with them for almost a hundred years, and I have already figured out the number of roads, and the people suddenly rose up, for my Ming, it is an enemy who has never been before!"
Kanazawa looked at the firearm called the arquebus and asked, "Is there a way to crack this firearm?"
"Although this firearm is powerful, it can be accurate at a distance, and it can be guaranteed to hit accurately within thirty steps, but after firing, if you want to fire again, you need to reload. Although it can penetrate armor more than a bow and crossbow, it is not as fast as a bow and arrow! Liu Daxia replied.
Kanazawa's eyes lit up, and he felt in his heart that this firearm was nothing more than that, and he might be afraid when he encountered it suddenly, but as long as he practiced more in advance, then this firearm was not terrible!
Thirty steps is just a moment, you can shoot once, but you can't hold this arquebus compared to a knife and gun!
In this way, the weakness of this thing is also obvious! If you practice more, you will be able to win the battle! ”
Liu Daxia nodded, and from Yang Chengde's description, he could hear that the firearms of the black people seemed to be sharper.
But he also understood that most of these words were exaggerated, and that the arquebus was also powerful within a hundred paces, so he thought that the firearms of the arquebuses should be slightly sharper than the arquebuses.
So Kanazawa's words, he agreed very much. As long as you practice diligently, you will definitely be able to dissolve the firearms of the sinister people.
"In this case, this trip will rely more on Brother Derun! In terms of military affairs, the old man will only talk about the army on paper, but the old man guarantees that there will be no shortage of military pay and equipment for this march. ”
As he spoke, he beckoned to the clerk on the side and said, "Immediately escort a batch of silver to General Jin to make up for this month's military salary!" Also, 500 arquebuses and five breech guns were allocated to General Jin! ”
Jin Ze was overjoyed, although he was dissatisfied with Liu Daxia deliberately luring him to come with the elite, but with military salary and ordnance, he still felt that it was worth it.
Especially with 500 arquebuses, the suppression of bandits will definitely have a miraculous effect. He hurriedly thanked him, saying that this battle would definitely be ruined to serve the court.
……
After pacifying Jin Ze, Liu Daxia hurriedly ordered 2,000 soldiers to be dispatched to Dinghai Zhongzuo.
At the same time, the Qiantang Navy Division was ordered to step up training, and a number of merchant ships were forcibly requisitioned to be transformed into naval warships.
He was most worried about the Zhongzuo Institute these days, and after he made some inspections, he found that although the fortified city was there, there were too few troops.
It's just that Ningbo City and Dinghai Zhongzuo are horns, so he didn't dare to transfer most of his troops to Zhongzuo, and he only made careful calculations before and transferred 300 soldiers up.
At this moment, Jin Ze arrived with his troops, and he was relieved to throw two thousand guards over, anyway, the guards couldn't fight in the field, so they could only defend the city.
The main force of this battle is undoubtedly the two thousand Jiangxi soldiers, and only this army has been fighting in the field in the southeast half of the wall.
Therefore, Liu Daxia did not hesitate to give heavy salaries, just to make Jinze work harder when he was fighting.
Now he thinks he has done everything he needs to do, and all that remains is training, negotiating, and waiting for the opportunity!
