Chapter 128: Let the People Plant Grass (Part 3)

At this time, Qin Liangyu had already adjusted from the shocked state just now.

When he heard Zhu Youxiao's words, he also began to be silent for a while, and only then did he show a look of truth on his face, and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Judging from the powerful firepower of the new army, in fact, the shortcomings of this new army are not too big shortcomings. ”

"However, I'm afraid that's why Your Majesty wants to transfer the white pole soldiers into the capital, right?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded, Qin Liangyu did guess.

Historically, this white pole soldier fought in array with Jiannu, and Jiannu's white armor soldier had no way to penetrate the white pole soldier's defense.

In the end, if it weren't for the fact that Huang Taiji had brought over the artillery brought by the traitors of the Ming army to bombard the positions of the white pole soldiers, it would be really hard to say who would have died in that battle.

Zhu Youxiao took a fancy to this characteristic of the White Pole Army, so he asked them to fall into Beijing.

"Yes, although my army has strong firepower, they have never been on the battlefield after all, and they are not brave enough."

"If Jiannu's white-armored soldiers survive the powerful firepower output in front and directly fight the new army soldiers, these new army soldiers will be defeated in one battle."

"Therefore, I transferred the white-armored soldiers into Beijing, hoping that if there is really a need for frontal fighting, the white-armored soldiers can stand up to the front, so that the soldiers of the new army in my rear can continue to have a stable firepower output."

Qin Liangyu not only did not feel unhappy because his army had to be transferred to the front to withstand the attack of the slaves.

On the contrary, she has the honor of governing the army and being able to be dropped into Beijing by Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao did not choose to transfer to other troops, but got rid of their white pole soldiers, which does not mean that Zhu Youxiao trusted the white pole soldiers.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao believes in the white pole soldiers, so it depends on what are the names of Qin Liangyu's two nephews?

One is called Qin Zuoming, and the other is Qin Zuoming, and this nephew even shows his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty in his name.

If such a white pole soldier is not trustworthy, then who is trustworthy?

Qin Liangyu gave up his hand on the spot and said to Zhu Youxiao seriously: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, unless our white pole soldiers are dead, we are the copper wall in front of Your Majesty, and we will definitely protect the integrity of these new army soldiers." ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed, still very satisfied with this statement.

He said to Qin Liangyu gently: "I am still very clear about the loyalty of the Qin General Soldiers and the White Pole Soldiers, and I have never doubted this. ”

Then Zhu Youxiao turned his head again, looked at the cannons and muskets in the distance, and changed the topic and said, "How does General Qin feel the power of these cannons and muskets?" ”

It's a rehash of the same old tune.

Qin Liangyu still said seriously: "The power of the weapons of the new army is beyond the expectations of Wei Chen. ”

"If Weichen wants to fight against such an army, he will definitely not be able to rush in front of the soldiers of the new army."

It is true that the reason why Qin Liangyu summoned them to Beijing is just a guarantee.

In fact, it is really impossible for Jiannu to be able to rush in front of the soldiers of the new army in the face of such powerful firepower.

Of course, what Zhu Youxiao wanted to tell Qin Liangyu was not these things.

He just said: "General Qin's loyalty to the imperial court is very well understood, and now there are only 3,000 white pole soldiers under Qin Liangyu, which is still too few. ”

"When this war is over, I will take out two taels of silver and expand your army for General Qin, at least expand the white pole soldiers under General Qin's command to 10,000 people."

"Of course, General Qin recruits these soldiers, so don't fight with strong white pole guns anymore, I will produce enough musket equipment for you."

Qin Liangyu was also quite shocked when he heard this.

Her thoughts just now were the same as Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming's.

Qin Liangyu thought that these muskets were so powerful, and Zhu Youxiao would not hand over such powerful firearms to them.

Unexpectedly, they spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Qin Liangyu's face immediately showed a look of shame,

Zhu Youxiao saw the look on Qin Liangyu's face, and he knew it in his heart.

He explained: "The Qin family and the Ma family's loyalty to me, I already know enough. ”

"I have always been haunted by the death of Qin Zongbing's husband, and the eunuch who slandered Qin's husband's husband back then has been given to death by me."

"My trust in you is genuine, and since you are loyal to me, how can I not equip your army with the best weapons."

Qin Liangyu also felt a little nostalgic when she heard Zhu Youxiao mention her husband.

Just when Zhu Youxiao was paraded, the more than 200,000 miners in Xishan were also divided into land and ready to start working.

They waited in the fields for the officials of the court to come and bring them seeds, but they saw the officials of the court and brought them piles and piles of vines.

These are sweet potato vines that have been placed in the green storage cellar for a whole winter.

The people were very puzzled, looking at these sweet potato vines, they didn't know what these officials were going to do.

The officials climbed up and shouted, saying: "People, this is the seed that the imperial court gave you, you plant this thing in the spring, take good care of it, clean up the weeds in time, don't damage the court's trust in you, and don't destroy Your Majesty's original intention of dividing the land for you." ”

The people looked at the weeds and felt greatly humiliated.

A leading citizen stood up on the spot, and shouted at the officials standing on the high platform: "We have never seen these things, what kind of food is weed, according to us." ”

"Aren't you, a dog official, greedy for the seeds that the court gave us? We're going to plant wheat, we're going to plant millet. ”

The official was scolded as a dog official, and he was also depressed in his heart.

But when he saw the surging emotions of the crowd, he didn't dare to make any excessive moves.

The people are not as docile as they used to be, and if he hadn't made this matter clear today, so many people would have gathered here and buried him alive.

Naturally, the official didn't want to die.

He could only say loudly: "These are all asked by His Majesty to plant for you, these things are called sweet potatoes, and the yield that can be grown is very large, ten times higher than the yield of wheat you plant." ”

When the people heard this, they were even more reluctant to believe it.

They planted one acre of wheat and were able to harvest more than 100 catties of grain.

After all, there are no chemical fertilizers or anything like that in this era, so the yield of wheat can be more than 100 catties, which is quite good.

But if it is really according to what the officials say, then the yield of these sweet potatoes will not reach more than 1,000 catties.

How is this possible?

The people began to get excited again.

But the official waved his hand, and the people barely resisted their temper and continued to listen to him.
