Chapter 149: Breaking the Cocoon and Turning into a Butterfly
After more than a month, Chongzhen has been taking more than 6,000 Qinwang scholars in circles in the Dabie Mountains, as far south as the Yangtze River in Anqing Mansion, and as west as Huangzhou Mansion in Huguang.
At the beginning, many of the Qinwang scholars couldn't figure it out.
There are also Qinwang Shizi who deserted and killed a few more for this.
But from beginning to end, the prince of Qin did not mutiny.
There are two main reasons for this, one is that Chongzhen's father and son lead by example.
Chongzhen, as the emperor, and Zhu Cijiong, as the prince, were only thirteen years old, and they all followed them to drill ravines, wear dense forests, eat and sleep in the open and endure hardships, what do they have to complain about as people?
In addition to the example of Chongzhen's father and son, there is another important reason, that is, the improvement of the scholars' ideology.
For more than a month, the Qinwang soldiers only did three things a day, marching in the morning, conducting the most rigorous training in the afternoon with reference to the new book of performance, and discussing state affairs and the disadvantages of the times around the bonfire in the evening.
Most young people are hot-blooded, and thousands of young people are even more enthusiastic when they come together.
This is actually similar to MLM brainwashing, where many people gather together and only tell one story a day, and over time they all believe it to be true and believe it.
However, the theoretical basis of MLM is to make money and profits, and the foundation is not solid.
Therefore, once they break away from the MLM organization, the members will repent.
But the theoretical basis provided by Chongzhen to Qinwang Shizi is the family and the country, which is powerful.
Under the deliberate guidance of Chongzhen, the topics discussed by the princes of Qin have never been separated from the world of the family and the country.
Today is to take the world as its own responsibility; Tomorrow is to sacrifice his life to go to the country, and he will suddenly return home as if he was dying; Then there is the *******, who will shun it because of good or evil; And then I am willing to serve the country with this length, why should I be born into the Yumen Pass......
After more than a month of arduous marching and more than a month of heated discussions about the family and the country, more than 6,000 Qinwang scholars have established their own life positioning from the depths of their thoughts: follow Zhuge Liang's dedication and death, follow Fan Zhongyan's worries and worries about the world, and enjoy the joys of the world after the world, and practice being born in sorrow and dying in peace.
My generation of scholars, go to the national disaster together, although I have died a hundred times, I have no regrets!
All in all, in a specific atmosphere of public opinion, more than 6,000 Qinwang scholars have completed the sublimation of their personalities, and have produced a feeling similar to that of a martyr from the inside out.
This kind of sentiment occupies an extremely important position in Confucianism.
With the blessing of this feeling, the soaked rice and vinegar cloth become spiritual enjoyment.
With the blessing of this feeling, dozens of miles of mountain roads every day have also become a tempering of will.
With the blessing of this feeling, the boring training has also become vivid.
With the blessing of this feeling, the Qinwang scholars did not have the slightest resistance to the tempering brought to them by Chongzhen, but actively participated in it, and looked forward to going north to Xuzhou as soon as possible after completing their studies, and then achieving the final transformation through the fight with Jiannu on the battlefield in Xuzhou - the ultimate transformation like a butterfly breaking a cocoon.
The Qinwang scholars thought about ushering in the final ultimate transformation after arriving at the battlefield in Xuzhou.
But Chongzhen didn't want to do this, because directly putting these scholars under the soldiers of Jiannu was too cruel and too extravagant, these were all seeds, and they couldn't be wasted like this.
Chongzhen carefully prepared a big test for the prince of Qin.
An ultimate test similar to breaking out of a cocoon and turning into a butterfly.
……
At this time, he was in Wuchang Ningnanhou Mansion.
Zuo Liangyu held two edicts, and his expression was a little dignified.
These two edicts were just sent to the Ningnan Marquis Mansion by the lieutenant officials, one edict enshrined Zuo Liangyu as the Duke of Chu, and the other edict secretly ordered Zuo Liangyu to take his only son Zuo Mengeng as the main general, and the general soldier Jin Shenghuan as the deputy general, leading 20,000 troops to sneak into Anqing Mansion, disguised as thieves to launch an attack on Taihu County and the surrounding towns.
There is one thing to say, Chongzhen's two edicts made Zuo Liangyu extremely uneasy.
It is reasonable to say that Jin Feng is a good thing for the Duke of Chu Guo, he Zuo Liangyu should be happy, but I don't know why, Zuo Liangyu felt inexplicably flustered, because he knew in his heart that he had not made much merit for the Ming Dynasty.
As for letting his only son Zuo Mengeng and his subordinate general Jin Shenghuan lead 20,000 troops into Anqing Mansion to disturb the people, it made Zuo Liangyu even more panicked, and said that the saint had discovered something?
In the past, when he led the troops to chase down the thieves, Zuo Liangyu did a lot of bad things that disturbed the people.
So do Chongzhen's two edicts mean that the imperial court is going to kill him Zuo Liangyu? If that were the case, he wouldn't sit still!
Zuo Liangyu was puzzled, so he sent someone to invite Liu Jingting over.
Liu Jingting was originally just a storyteller in Nanjing, but now he has become Zuo Liangyu's military advisor.
Zuo Liangyu first showed Liu Jingting Chongzhen's two edicts, and then asked: "Please teach me, what is the purpose of Chongzhen's two edicts?" Do you want to reuse me, or do you want to destroy me? ”
Zuo Liangyu's disobedience has been revealed, and they are all directly called Chongzhen.
Liu Jingting thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, Lord, Chongzhen is just a temptation. ”
"Temptation?" Zuo Liangyu was stunned for a moment and then asked, "What do you mean by this, sir?" What does Chongzhen want to test? ”
"Chongzhen wants to test whether the Lord has the heart to support the army and stand on his own." Liu Jingting said, "If the lord refuses and refuses to let Gongzi and General Jin lead the troops into Anqing Mansion, it means that the lord has the heart to stand on his own, then Chongzhen is very likely to lead the twenty-eight towns of Xuzhou to attack and kill the lord before Jiannu moves south." ”
"This!" Zuo Liangyu immediately gasped when he heard this.
Although Zuo Liangyu claims to have 300,000 elite soldiers, he is actually only about 100,000.
Moreover, most of these 100,000 people are defected thieves, and their equipment and training are very worrisome, and the real ones that can be fought are the 20,000 old battalions before Zuo Liangyu.
Therefore, if Chongzhen really took the elite soldiers of the twenty-eight towns of Xuzhou to the south, Zuo Liangyu thought that he would not be able to stop him, and he could only give up Wuchang and flee at that time.
But I still don't want to run.
The taste of a lost dog is not pleasant.
Liu Jingting said: "So the lord should send troops by edict." ”
Zuo Liangyu said: "But, what if Chongzhen detains my son as a hostage?" ”
"What's this?" Liu Jingting chuckled and said, "The lord is in full bloom, and his wives and concubines are also numerous, so why worry about having no heirs?" ”
Zuo Liangyu was right when he thought about it, yes, he is only in his forties now, Confucius and his father can still give birth to a son at the age of eighty, there is no reason why he Zuo Liangyu can't give birth to a son.
……
Two days later, Qianshan County, Anqing Prefecture.
The first batch of ordnance produced by the Daming Arsenal has been sent to Qianshan County.
This batch of ordnance was agreed with Kang Million before Chongzhen left Nanjing.
"Holy Lord, this is the ordnance you wanted, a total of 2,000 Rumi guns!" Zhan Yangzhi pointed to the nearly 1,000 donkeys walking behind him and said, "In addition, there are more than 4,000 spears, more than 6,000 waist knives, and more than 6,000 pairs of cotton armor. ”
The spear, waist knife and cotton armor were nothing, but more than 2,000 Lu Mi guns surprised Chongzhen a little.
Because all he wanted was a bird's gun, but he didn't expect the Daming Arsenal to provide him with a Lumi gun.
After all, the Daming Arsenal only took a month and a half from the completion of integration to the completion of production, and it was able to produce more than 2,000 Lumi guns in such a short time?
This is undoubtedly contrary to common sense.
Chongzhen said: "Where did these two thousand Lu Mi guns come from? ”
Zhan Yangzhi said with a smile: "Back to the saint, the most difficult thing to process is the gun tube, and it just so happened that there were more than 2,000 gun pipes left in the warehouse of the bird gun factory before, so they were all changed to Lu Mi guns. ”
"That's what happened." Chongzhen was inevitably a little disappointed.
At that moment, Chongzhen ordered Zhan Yangzhi to unload the ordnance and open the box again.
Chongzhen took out a Lumi gun from it, and the whole body of the gun was already the prototype of a modern rifle, but the trigger was still a snake rod mechanism that held the fire rope, and it was not equipped with a bayonet.
Then take out a number of Lumi guns for comparison.
It can be clearly seen that the wall thickness of the pipe is uneven, and even the shape is irregular, some are octagonal, some are quadrilateral files with four chamfers, and there are hexagons, but there are no circles.
There are no backer crosshairs, none of them.
Chongzhen's face became a little embarrassed: "This is also called Lu Mi Gong?" ”
There are also a lot of Lumi guns in the border towns of Xuzhou, and there is a clear difference between the two.
"Uh......" Zhan Yangzhi was stunned and said, "The shape is rougher, but all the guns are re-forged, and the inner wall of the guns is also re-drilled through the holes, and the straightening is corrected again, all the processes are carried out according to the requirements of Lu Mi Gong, and finally a test release is done, and the accuracy and range are similar to Lu Mi Gong." ”
"Okay." Chongzhen also felt helpless about this, and he had to eat the meal one bite at a time.
After a pause, Chongzhen asked again: "When will the three thousand partial vans be built?" ”
Zhan Yangzhi said lightly: "Because the van factory has not been able to arrive in time because the timber has not been in place, it may take a while to build 3,000 partial vans, about a month." ”
Chongzhen snorted and asked, "Have the fifty gun engineers from the Macau Bugarao Artillery Factory arrived?" ”
"Not yet." Zhan Yangzhi shook his head, and then said, "However, an urgent delivery has been sent from Guangzhou, and the fifty gun engineers of the Bujialao Artillery Factory have already set off from Macao. ”
Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Zhan Weng, forget about this batch of Lu Mi guns, but the next batch of Lu Mi guns, as well as the partial van car, the tiger squat cannon and the Hongyi cannon, must implement the standardization I said before!" If it is still like this batch, then I will refuse to accept it, and all the losses will be borne by you. ”
"Yes, yes, it must be standardized, it must be standardized, and this batch of Lu Mi guns is also because it is urgent, otherwise it will definitely be standardized." After a pause, Zhan Yangzhi said again, "But the cost is ......."
"I said, don't worry about the cost." Chongzhen said angrily, "As long as the things are good, money is not a problem." ”
While speaking, Zheng Sen and more than 60 other sergeants had already arrived, and Chongzhen immediately asked them to bring the Qinwang soldiers to collect the ordnance and distribute it.
