Chapter 475: Lady Xiangjun
"You don't know how ruthless these Han generals are to exploit the natives."
"Like Wang Xiang, the people of Zunyi Mansion are afraid that they hate him to the core."
"That's why killing Wang Xiang can make the people of Zunyi applaud, and leaving him a dog to die is a bad thing."
"I see." Li Xiangjun bowed his head lightly and asked, "Master, is it time to enter Xuzhou next?" ”
"There's no hurry." Qin Liangyu shook his head and said, "At the beginning, the division wanted to fight a quick battle, pacify the various rebels in Sichuan in the shortest possible time, and then fight a decisive battle with Zhang Xianzhong, so I was in a hurry to enter the army." ”
"But now that it's been so long, there's no need to rush."
"Girl, you must understand one thing, the ultimate goal of our dispatch this time is to recover Sichuan."
After a pause, Qin Liangyu said again: "Recovering Sichuan is not just a matter of retaking Sichuan Province from all kinds of thieves and thieves, but also to appease the local people so that they will not rebel again." ”
"So now you need to appease Zunyi Mansion?" Li Xiangjun is thorough at one point.
"That's right, the most important thing now is to appease Zunyi Mansion." Qin Liangyu said, "Let the people of Zunyi Mansion feel the kindness of the imperial court, and from then on the place will be peaceful and will no longer be a burden on the Ming Dynasty." ”
Li Xiangjun: "Master, then let's hurry up and send troops." ”
"Girl, if you are a teacher, you won't go to Zunyi, you just go."
Qin Liangyu sincerely wants to pave the way for Li Xiangjun and help her succeed.
Qin Liangyu even planned the future path for Li Xiangjun - that is, to guard the southwest for Daming!
Qin Liangyu had already seen that since the enlightenment of the Coal Mountain, Chongzhen had become a promising master, so his eyes would definitely not be limited to the original territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Next, we must expand our territory!
The main force to open up the territory for the Ming Dynasty must still be the group of Qinwang scholars.
Especially Yan Yingyuan and Xu Yingwei, they are both capable and ambitious, but their eyes are more on Liaodong, Mongolia and even the Western Regions, and the southwest is actually a chicken rib for them, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it, so Li Xiangjun can only choose the southwest, so no one will compete with her.
Otherwise, Li Xiangjun would not have been able to snatch up that group of Qinwang scholars no matter what.
Don't think that Li Xiangjun can take advantage of Chongzhen's favorite concubine, the truth is the opposite.
It is precisely because Li Xiangjun is Chongzhen's favorite concubine that it is even more difficult for her to win the opportunity to lead the army independently.
Therefore, Qin Liangyu chose the southwest road for Li Xiangjun, and in various Tusi in the southwestern provinces, Qin Liangyu claimed that he still had a little influence and could help Li Xiangjun.
"Master, what should I pay attention to when I go to Zunyi?"
Li Xiangjun did not refuse Qin Liangyu's kindness, she could actually guess the master's good intentions.
"Girl, don't worry about going to Zunyi militarily, you will definitely be able to recover Zunyi Mansion smoothly." Qin Liangyu also has no reservations about Li Xiangjun, "The difficulty lies in how to collect the hearts of the people in Zunyi." ”
Li Xiangjun: "What should the apprentices do to win the hearts of the people?" ”
"It's hard to say this, but it's easy to say."
Qin Liangyu Yin Yin advised: "As the so-called people have the same heart and the same reason, there is actually no difference between the people of Zunyi Mansion and the Han people of the eight provinces and one state in the south of the Yangtze River, what they want is nothing more than to have a piece of land, a house, clothes to wear and food, and there is no other luxury." ”
"If you can give them that, they will give you their lives."
Speaking of this, Qin Liangyu sighed helplessly: "But even such a simple request, the local civil and military officials appointed by the imperial court will always be unable to meet it, and they will even exploit it in every possible way." ”
"That man understood." Li Xiangjun said thoughtfully.
"When I was in Xuzhou, I made a miraculous achievement."
"At that time, the saint asked the disciple what reward he wanted, but the disciple did not say."
"This time it happened to be used, so the disciple went to the book and begged the Holy Lord to exempt Zunyi Mansion from money and food for three years."
Qin Liangyu smiled when he heard this: "Good apprentice, there is no need to write a book, because before the saint left Wuchang, he once gave the teacher the right to arbitrarily decide on the occasion, including exempting a state, a government or even saving money and grain, but the teacher has never used it, and today I will hand over this secret edict given by the saint to you." ”
After Qin Liangyu finished speaking, he took out a holy decree from his sleeve.
After Li Xiangjun received the holy decree with both hands, Qin Liangyu continued: "Girl, with this secret edict, you can not only exempt Zunyi Mansion from money and grain for three years, but also in Zunyi Mansion. ”
"Acres of land?" When Li Xiangjun heard this, a pair of beautiful eyes lit up.
Although Li Xiangjun was born in a prostitution family, he has a chivalrous heart since he was a child.
Qin Liangyu told Li Xiangjun again: "Don't be too careless after entering Zunyi Mansion, show the local officials first." ”
"The local officials of Zunyi have been suffering from Wang Xiang for a long time, and when they hear that Wang Xiang is being punished, they will inevitably applaud and welcome you to take over Zunyi Mansion."
"After the situation in Zunyi Mansion is generally stabilized, we will implement the matter of equalizing the land and acres, and it is best to start with the evil gentry and local officials with the greatest public anger, step by step, and wait until the other local officials and gentry realize that something is wrong, you have already won the support of the majority of local people, so you don't need to be afraid of them, if they still dare to gather people to make trouble, they will be suppressed with an iron fist!"
"Be taught." Li Xiangjun solemnly waved towards Qin Liangyu.
……
The next day, Li Xiangjun ordered 20,000 new troops to enter Zunyi.
And what happened next also completely verified Qin Liangyu's judgment.
When Li Xiangjun led 20,000 new troops along the Chishui River into Zunyi Mansion and showed Wang Xiang's head to the local officials along the way, the local officials of the prefectures and counties along the way opened the city one after another to accept the surrender.
Zunyi Mansion used to be called Banzhou Propaganda Division.
However, since the Banzhou Rebellion, the Banzhou Propaganda Department was abolished and changed to the Zunyi Mansion under the direct management of the Sichuan Political Envoy Division.
However, although the Banzhou Xuanwei Division was abolished, and the large and small Tusi who followed Yang Yinglong's rebellion were also suppressed, due to the remoteness of Banzhou and the fact that it had not been kingized, the local people were quite resistant to the policies of the imperial court, and in order not to intensify the conflict between the Tu and Han, a large number of local officials were still retained.
Most of these local officials are lowly officials, and because of Yang Yinglong's rebellion, most of the rogue officials who were transferred to Zunyi Mansion did not like the local local officials, and they were often beaten and bullied, so they lived a very aggrieved life.
And since Wang Xiang became the chief soldier of Zunyi, he has particularly oppressed the local officials.
If it weren't for the fear of the officers and soldiers in Wang Xiang's hands, these local officials would have been anyway.
Therefore, I heard that Wang Xiang was suppressed by a female general named Li Xiangjun sent by the Ming court, and the local officials in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Zunyi Prefecture all applauded.
Then as soon as Li Xiangjun's army arrived, they opened the city gates one after another to surrender.
It only took half a month for all the prefectures and counties of Zunyi Prefecture to be pacified.
Li Xiangjun followed Qin Liangyu's instructions and did not rush to start Juntian, but went to the mountains and countryside to give on-the-spot condolences to the local people in the prefectures and counties under the rule of Zunyi Prefecture.
may be because Li Xiangjun is a woman, so that the local people of Zunyi Mansion are easily reminiscent of Mrs. Xiangxiang of the Shuixi Xuanwei Division more than two hundred years ago, so Li Xiangjun quickly got the support of the local people of Zunyi.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xiangjun announced the news of exempting Zunyi Mansion from imperial grain for five years.
At this time, Li Xiangjun's reputation became even louder, and the local people began to call her Mrs. Xiangjun.
Then Li Xiangjun began to have acres of land in Zunyi again, and the local people loved Li Xiangjun even more, and even the local people of the Shuixi Xuanwei Division in the south moved to Zunyi Mansion because of their admiration for the name of Mrs. Xiangjun.
Chongzhen took a trip to Yunnan, but he did not leave a good impression on the people of the southwest.
It wasn't until the appearance of Li Xiangjun that he finally redeemed his image.
……
In the middle of April of the twentieth year of Chongzhen (1647), Chongzhen returned to Nanjing.
After going ashore from the Yanziji Wharf, Chongzhen did not rush into the city, but decided to go to the Daming Arsenal under the lime mountain first to see if the rifled rifle had been made?
I saw Zhu Cihong at the test launch range of the arsenal.
"Father?" Zhu Cihong was stunned when he saw Chongzhen.
Then he quickly stepped forward to pay respects: "The son knocks to see his father." ”
Zhu Cijiong, who accompanied him, also saluted Zhu Cihong: "See the imperial brother." ”
"Excuse me." Chongzhen waved his hand and asked with a smile, "Rifled rifles?" ”
"Yes, this is the first rifled rifle that has just been made." Zhu Cihong hurriedly handed over the rifle in his hand, which looked indistinguishable from a standard flintlock pistol.
Chongzhen took the rifled rifle and looked at the muzzle first.
It's easy to see the rifling line close to the muzzle.
"Father, this is a bullet." Zhu Cihong handed over the paper shell bomb again.
Chongzhen skillfully bit the paper shell bullet open, and after loading the gunpowder, he took another look at the lead bullet, and found that a conical cavity was indeed made at the bottom, and a wooden cork was added to the bottom.
Push the bullet into the chamber with a through strip and then compact.
Compaction is a technical job, not too tight but not too loose.
Gao Qiqian happily moved the humanoid target thirty steps away.
Gao Qiqian was worried that Chongzhen's accuracy was too poor, so he only dared to swing so far thirty steps.
Chongzhen didn't appreciate it at all, waved his hand and said, "It's too close, just put the target one hundred and fifty steps away." ”
One hundred and fifty steps is almost 240 meters, which is just a basic operation for soldiers in the other world, Chongzhen can make a hundred shots from 240 meters away in his previous life.
Of course, there is still a big gap between the guns of the two worlds.
But even if the rifled rifle in your hand is not as good as the rifle of another world, hitting a humanoid target at a distance of 240 meters will certainly not be a problem, because the bullet is stable at high speed.
This is indeed the case, Chongzhen fired ten shots in a row, all of which hit the target.
Zhu Cihong had already seen the power of rifled rifles, and he didn't react much.
Zhu Cijiong was startled, and said in a lost voice: "Father, this rifled rifle is so accurate? ”
Gao Qi slapped his ass and said: "Long live Lord, your marksmanship is really a god, you can actually hit a gun one hundred and fifty steps away, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first magic shot of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Okay, it's a good gun, but it's not because I can shoot accurately."
Chongzhen angrily threw the gun to Gao Qiqian: "You come and try." ”
