Chapter 253: Something Good Found
After arranging for his henchmen to take Yizi Hao Baoyun to rest, Lu Chongming's face was not very good.
His family has been entrenched in Yongning for hundreds of years, and when Zhu Yuanzhang was still begging for food, this was the territory of the luxury family.
Even if it has not yet reached his head, he does not want the imperial court to become stronger in the southwest.
There are not too few toasts who have similar ideas to him, especially the Shuixian family that has been handed down since the Tang Dynasty.
The two families of Lu'an have long been fierce, one is more elite and the other is larger.
I heard that the Liaodong court was defeated, and Nurhachi captured Liaoyang and Shenyang. The losses of the Sichuan soldiers and the Shizhu Tusi soldiers were not small, and the fierce opponents Zhou Dunji and Qin Bangping were killed in battle......
Extravagant Chongming was determined to make trouble.
Nurhachi was able to take Liaoyang and Shenyang.
He was extravagant and would naturally be able to win Chongqing, Guiyang and Chengdu.
One in the northeast and the other in the southwest, both of which are high mountains and roads that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After a while, the eldest son, Hao Yin, arrived with someone.
This time, he specially asked Hao Yin to escort Hao Leopard Yun back, one of which was to monitor Hao Bao Yun all the way to see if there was anything wrong with him. The second is that the army is about to be raised, and extravagant Yin has an important mission.
Father and son got together and immediately arranged in full swing.
……
I don't remember the rebellion for a few months.
Wang Hongyu doesn't remember the specific time very clearly, but it can be determined that it is this year.
Under the pretext of sending troops to support Liaodong, Yu Chongming suddenly broke out in Chongqing and began a mutiny with great destructive power.
Some civil officials were shameless and concluded that the reason for the rebellion was that the Ming Dynasty sent them to fight, which aroused dissatisfaction......
Isn't that!
The various excuses of extravagant Chongming are the same as those before Nurhachi raised the army, how can it be because of the transfer of them to arouse dissatisfaction?
There are many such ambitious and troublesome guys in history.
Liu Bao and Liu Yuan of the Wei and Jin dynasties, An Lushan and Shi Siming of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Yaoshi of the Northern Song Dynasty, Nurhachi, Hao Chongming, and An Bangyan of the late Ming Dynasty......
It's all a raccoon dog.
Wang Hongyu doesn't plan to be soft on these guys at all.
Which one of them didn't kill tens of millions of people with his own hands? Which one does not interrupt the status quo of economic prosperity and cultural prosperity? Which one doesn't push this land to the edge of a cliff?
While the internal reasons lie elsewhere, the biggest spoilers are them.
That is, to solve the internal problems, and to eradicate these huge hidden dangers, and to bring their resources into their own hands.
So his own people were on Yunyang's side, but at the same time, he asked Hao Baoyun to return to Yongning with Hao Yin.
After Wang Hongyu did a good job in the tuntian and layout planning, he held a meeting of the Hunhe Army and prepared to start the layout.
While Qin Ling led the first battalion to be stationed in Junzhou, he also set up commercial outlets in Junzhou and Gucheng to expand the intelligence network.
And establish contact with the stone pillars, and prepare for coordinated training and combat.
Qin Ling introduced that at present, the stone pillars are left behind by Ma Xianglin and Qin Fengyi. They are Qin Liangyu's son and Zhang Quan's daughter, although they are both less than 30 years old, they are also good at fighting.
Qin Liangyu, Qin Minping and her all wrote to them who stayed in the stone pillar to communicate about the matter, and everything was relieved.
Communicate with Shi Zhu again, prepare to train together, strengthen equipment and other matters, and leave it to Qin Ling, of course, it is most suitable.
After Qin Minping's department was stationed in Zhushan County, he cooperated with county officials, Liu Fuwen and his party, the Zhou family and friends.
In addition to training, ten propaganda teams were formed and went deep into nearby villages and towns, from Zhushan to Fangxian and then to Zhuxi.
On the one hand, it vigorously publicized some of the current propaganda and policies of the Hunhe Army, and on the other hand, it called on the displaced people to go out of the mountains and forests and join the ranks of the Hunhe Army.
Only a very small number of them are planned to be incorporated into the new army, and the vast majority of them will join the construction army.
At this time, there were three main tasks for the construction of military cantonments.
1. Road construction and water transportation.
2. Look for veins in the mountains.
3. Farming and breeding.
These three jobs are very suitable for many displaced people.
What is in the mountain, no one knows better than them for the time being.
As for building roads and expanding water transportation, the Zhou family and the veterans went all out, and the county officials also provided support.
Farming and farming are also developing rapidly.
With the tens of thousands of taels of silver invested by Lao Wei, there is no need to worry too much about the start-up capital, and there are abundant materials here in Xiangyang, so there is no need to worry that the silver will not be able to buy enough tools, livestock and food.
There are many mountains in Yunyang, the vegetation is extremely lush, it is not suitable for raising cattle and horses, the vegetation is too lush, and the hills are too dense and steep, but it is very convenient to raise chickens and sheep.
There are also many ponds and streams, and you can raise crucian carp, mussels, snails and other aquatic products.
In half a month, 8,000 people were recruited for the well-fed construction army, and 300 people were added to the Hunhe army.
After another half a month, when Qin Minping saw Wang Hongyu again, the latter was taken aback.
"You made these bamboo rafts and wooden boats?"
"That's right, but it's mainly man-made for the construction of the military cantonment. This time, whether it is the section of Zhushan-Yunxian or the section of Fangxian-Gucheng, there are bamboo rafts and wooden boats for transportation. Isn't that a good thing? ”
He pointed with his hand and saw that the bamboo rafts from Zhushan were gray-brown coals on top of a layer of wood and waterproof cloth.
"Not only coal, but also a lot less soot than I've seen before."
Wang Hongyu hurriedly called Li Tiezhu over and studied it carefully.
I saw that this carbon was indeed different, the color was not swarthy, but grayish-brown, and it felt like a stone, but there was a layer of gray on it.
This is the stone coal of Zhushan.
Liu Fuwen also came with Qin Minping, and he introduced that this carbon is actually not easy to burn, otherwise the displaced people in the mountains would have burned it for fuel.
But after being processed by powerful craftsmen, it can become a good coal with less smoke, so I heard that General Wang is good at this business, so the first batch brought this over.
Li Tiezhu asked the homeless people if there were any talents who knew something about this, and when he asked, there were really a few who could burn, but they lacked screening tools.
It's simple.
With a wave of his hand, Wang Hongyu gave Li Tiezhu and the craftsmen 1,000 taels of silver to purchase and prepare for the screening of stone coal, and set up a coal processing workshop in the construction of Juntun in Zhushan, with the goal of producing high-quality anthracite coal.
In addition, the search for other minerals also found iron ore, and Li Tiezhu also cooperated with the construction of the military tun to develop it.
Directly use local iron ore and stone coal to forge tools, mainly not weapons, but limited axes, hammers, saws, chisels and other workshop tools, as well as shovels, hoes, plows, palladium, forks and sickles and other agricultural tools.
The Juntun in Zhushan was developed into a tool handicraft workshop.
Li Tiezhu has been doing this since he was a child, and he has long been familiar with his cousin's division of labor and cooperation, so he happily accepted the order.
Iron ore and stone coal are still basic, and Wang Hongyu is still thinking about more powerful mines.
There is a saying in later generations, "The mine of Zhushan is rich in the northwest of Hubei Province." ”
There is also a scientific basis for this sentence, according to the exploration of later generations, the minerals of Zhushan account for as much as ninety percent of the northwest of Hubei Province.
The most powerful is niobium rare earth ore, which has the second largest reserves in the country.
This Wang Hongyu doesn't need it, but there is something else~
