The rebel army entered the government, and the Hangzhou Mansion became a mess, but the city changed the king's flag, and the people always had to live. Two months have passed, and the city of Hangzhou has already resumed its daily life, because the "rebels" did not commit any crimes in the autumn, and the city of Hangzhou is more prosperous than in the past.

It was also because the "rebels" entered the city that they looked strong and orderly, and the business of the shavers in the city suddenly improved, and the people who came to shave their heads were endless, especially the merchants.

It's just that in the past, the green stubble on the braided skin around the braids was shaved off, but now the braids were shaved off, and there was no hair on the bald head.

The heavy rain has taken away some of the heat of summer. After heavy rains, the air is fresher.

In the lobby of the yamen, Wang Heyao was reading the official document in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly.

Zheng Siming went to Jiaxing Mansion and occupied the shipyard in Haining, forcing the Hangzhou sailors to surrender. Li Xingzhong went to Huzhou Mansion and fought with Zheng Siming's department. It can not only guard against the southward movement of the Qing troops in Nanjing, but also prevent the Qing troops in Anhui from advancing eastward.

Jiaxing and Suzhou are both major grain-producing areas in the south of the Yangtze River. Huzhou is the same, it is on the verge of Taihu Lake, and it is a resort for grain and silk production. Wang Heyao's move naturally took advantage of the busy farming to collect the grain.

Otherwise, where did all the food and drink of the righteous army come from?

As for the Hangzhou Naval Division, Zheng Siming occupied Jiaxing Mansion, Zhao Guohao occupied Shaoxing Mansion, and the two armies controlled the north bank of the Qiantang River, to see how many days they could jump?

As for Chen Zigou, he was stationed in Ningbo Mansion, recruiting sailors, and Zheng Siming's troops across the river to provide each other with Olympic aid.

"General, Master Dai is here."

Li Hei's voice sounded outside the hall.

"Call him in."

Dai Zi came early in the morning, but he didn't know what was going on?

"Brother Dai, the affairs of the Manufacturing Bureau are going well, right?"

Wang Heyao smiled slightly and invited Dai Zi to take a seat.

"General, seeing that you are worried, do you have something on your mind?"

Dai Zi did not reply to Wang Heyao, but asked him.

In fact, he wanted to talk to Wang Heyao about firearms. Those flintlock fixed guns and breech guns all tickled his heart.

"The waterways in the south of the Yangtze River are crisscrossed, our army has no water division, and marching and fighting is a natural defect after all. If you have to go north, you have to take the canal and cross the river, so you can't let the soldiers carry horses and horses. Without a warship, it's hard to move an inch! ”

Wang Heyao did not hesitate, and his brows furrowed again.

"It turns out that the general is worried about this."

Dai Zi laughed and began to explain his doubts to Wang Heyao.

"At the beginning of Shunzhi, the Qing court divided Haikou with Jingkou and Hangzhou sailors. Later, the Chongming Water Division was added. The Hangzhou Navy Division had no more than twenty or thirty warships and no more than 800 soldiers, and it was stationed in Haining and Zhapu for a long time. As long as the adults occupy Jiaxing Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion, they can also build ships in Haining. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Hangzhou Navy Division are children of Zhejiang Province, as long as they send competent people to persuade them to surrender......"

Dai Zi wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Heyao was stunned, and then laughed.

There is more of this "local pass", but it saves him a lot of worry.

"Zheng Siming, Zhao Guohao, Li Xingzhong, and Chen Zigou all went to Hu, Jia, Shao, and Ning, and it is possible to make a forced landing in Hangzhou. But the Hangzhou Navy Division does not have large sea vessels, and the Haining Shipyard has a limited scale, so I want large sea vessels, you know? ”

It takes at least a year and a half to build dozens of large sea ships, and in addition to sailor drills, it is impossible to train an elite navy without two years of hard work.

All the sea ships are in Fujian and Taiwan, and it is simply whimsical to get sea ships from Zheng Jin and Geng Jingzhong.

"General, the size and scale of the warships of the Hangzhou Navy Division are enough to cope with the water battles of the Yangtze River and inland rivers."

Dai Zi asked puzzled.

Although there are not many warships in Hangzhou, Haining Shipyard can build ships, and there should be no problem in making 180 warships a year. When the time comes, when the artillery is installed, at least it can be invincible.

Wang Heyao wants a big sea ship, does he want to ......

"You guessed right. Everything is foreseen, and the rebel army is now in danger, so we must take precautions. In two years, the rebels will break out of Jiangnan. Wu Sangui didn't want to go north, I thought. ”

Wang Heyao nodded and said solemnly.

If you go north from the canal, you will have to pass through Jiangsu, Lianghuai, Henan, Shandong, and Hebei along the way, and there will be bloody battles and encirclement and interception everywhere. If the sea route enters the sea from the Qiantang River, all the way north to Tianjin Wei, and then directly the heart of the Manchu Qing Dynasty - north. Capital.

"The general is really bold!"

Dai Zi's heart throbbed and said sincerely.

Now the Qing army and Wu Sangui's troops are fighting in Huguang, and the battle situation is staggered.

"What kind of courage is just hiding the weapon in the body, moving with the times."

Wang Heyao glanced at Dai Zi and said with a smile:

"Brother Dai, you didn't come to me today to discuss the battle situation, did you?"

"General, the top priority is to recruit and train troops, cast firearms, and accumulate strength. Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down the king, generals must not be in a hurry. ”

Dai Zi looked at Wang Heyao and whispered.

Originally, he wanted to talk about firearms, but Dai Zi temporarily changed the topic.

Every time he saw Wang Heyao, Dai Zi would feel that his blood was boiling and he was full of fighting spirit.

"Brother Dai means to make me surrender to Wu Sangui, or to someone else?"

Wang Heyao's heart moved. Dai Zi's opinion coincides with his.

He only had four or five thousand men, and of course he had to make a choice.

"General, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Now the attention of the imperial court is on Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong. In the affairs of Zhejiang, I am afraid that the imperial court will send troops to encircle and suppress it. At this time, it is better not to be arrogant and attract the attention of the court. ”

Dai Zi's words made Wang Heyao laugh.

This Dai Zi, like many generals in the rebel army, is probably worried about the future of the rebel army and his own fate.

"Brother Dai, don't worry, I know what to do."

Wang Heyao raised his head and asked about Dai Zilai.

"Brother Dai, how is everything going over there in the Manufacturing Bureau?"

"General, everything is fine with the Manufacturing Bureau. In addition, I would like to report to the general that my father is also good at firearms manufacturing, and he is idle, so I want him to join the manufacturing bureau. I don't know if the general agrees? ”

Dai Zi said sneeringly, his expression was very embarrassed.

Let him ask for someone for private matters, he really can't pull his face.

Dai Zi left, Wang Heyao looked at his back and smiled.

This "science and engineering man" is full of talent, and he is really upright and cute.

He really didn't think about becoming a king on his own. With the current strength of the righteous army, it is still necessary to "attach" a backer.

"Zhang Hei, go out with me!"

Wang Heyao stood up, his whole body aching, and shouted out of the hall.

I'm busy with official paperwork all day long, and my head is big, so it's better to go out and relax.

Out of the yamen, walking on the streets of Hangzhou, Wang Heyao walked and stopped all the way, stopped and looked.

The gate of the city has been demolished, as for the city wall, Wang Heyao is busy with military affairs, and he is shy in his pocket, the city wall has not been demolished, and some people are entering and exiting the city gate, obviously curious about the situation in the city.

The streets are smooth, but from time to time you can see garbage, the streets and alleys, faintly there are some yellow and white things, and there is no uniform brick wall and red door, except for a few houses are brick walls and tile eaves, most of the other houses are earthen walls and tile houses, and some are still thatched houses. It is an indisputable fact that the people's livelihood is withering and the people are poor.

As long as you look at the sad faces of most of the people, with yellow faces and thin muscles, you can know how life is going.

The southeastern town is so dilapidated, and other states and counties can see it.

For the selfishness of the surname Aixin Jueluo, the sea is forbidden and the military is banned, and the writing is high-pressure, no wonder the people are poor and weak, and they are willing to be enslaved.

As soon as the thought turned, Wang Heyao deliberately entered a relatively remote alley, and saw a dead rat and garbage and feces all along the wall.

Not far away, a snow-white big ass is wanton, and the excreted fat man is squatting on the ground, humming a little song in his mouth.

"I'll go!"

Wang Heyao covered his mouth and nose in disgust and shouted loudly.

"Hey, no one at home told you that you can't defecate in the open?"

The fat man was taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw that there were several fierce strong men, and he quickly found a tile, and hurriedly scraped it, but he didn't know if he had scraped it clean, so he lifted his pants and fled quickly.

Wang Heyao was disgusted for a while, lost the courage to continue to explore, and retreated back the same way.

"How old is this guy, why is he still messing ......?"

Wang Heyao was disgusted for a while, and he couldn't say any more.

"Sir, you can't blame that fat man. If you don't have a thatched house, you can only solve it anywhere, otherwise you can only pull it inside the crotch. ”

"Yes, sir. Have you ever seen those Tongji Bridges, Guangji Bridges, and Salt Bridges, when people are in a hurry, they all urinate directly into the river, even women. ”

Zhang Hei and Liu Wenshi talked one after the other.

"I see!"

Wang Heyao thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he also used commode and coarse paper at home to solve the problem, so that he had to wash it every time he finished pulling, otherwise he would always feel unclean.

"Let the officials of the Qiantang County Yahe Renhe County Yagong Workshop go to them in the afternoon, I have something important to look for them!"

Wang Heyao shook his head, it seems that it is necessary to build some public toilets, garbage cans, etc., and then formulate laws to ensure the sanitation and cleanliness of Hangzhou.

Look at the potholed streets of Hangzhou, it seems that the street needs to be renovated.

"Do any of you know how many bluestone bricks there are on the walls of the city?"

Wang and Yao asked leisurely.

Liu Wenshi smiled awkwardly.

I'm afraid you have to ask those people in the government or check the records of the government for these things.

"Why are there so many people in this city who have braids?"

Liu Wenshi hadn't answered yet, Wang Heyao had already shook his head and exclaimed.

Liu Wenshi looked at it, and sure enough, many people still had braids, and only a few of them were shaved off.

"My lord, the people may be afraid, or they may be used to it. In case the Qing army attacked again, and the people shaved off their braids, they were afraid of retaliation! ”

Zhang Hei's words made Wang Heyao stunned for a long time.

Jiangnan has a strong literary style and an overly comfortable environment, but it is also a sluggish folk style, rampant materialism, and getting by.

It seems that they will have to find a way to shave off the braids that don't matter to them.

Don't you love money and spare your life, then start by cutting their flesh.
