Chapter 272: The ambitious Sun Kewang
Chapter 272
Cheng Shijie found out the information, he knew that Sun Kewang was not a good thing, in history, with the death of Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous descendants can be expected, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo inherited most of Zhang Xianzhong's inheritance.
The remnants of the Great Western Army marched into the Yunnan-Guizhou region as an anti-Qing base area, conquering Zunyi and Guiyang all the way and entering Yunnan.
In 1647 A.D. (the first year of Yongli and the fourth year of Shunzhi), Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo and others became kings, and Sun Kewang became the lord of the country, and the year was called Xingchao.
Later, the Southern Ming army invaded Hunan in a big way, and after the Great Western Army joined the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty, the first test of the edge was victorious, and most of the prefectures and counties in Hunan were recovered. Li Dingguo became a famous king twice, and recovered dozens of states and counties one after another, and the world was shaken. Sun Kewang saw Li Dingguo's great achievements and was very jealous.
Due to Sun Kewang's assassination, the good situation between Li Dingguo and Nanming was completely destroyed, otherwise, Nanming might have fought against the Qing Dynasty like the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, in this time and space, Sun Kewang deceived Li Dingguo and blackmailed Li Dingguo, showing his selfish behavior to the fullest.
Cheng Shijie looked at Sun Kewang and said, "Get up!" ”
"The sins of the sinners are so great that they will not be redeemed for death, and they dare not be peaceful!"
"Ben Shuai let you get up!"
"Yes!"
Sun Kewang is very sorry that he did not become Cheng Shijie's righteous son, don't look at Sun Kewang following Zhang Xianzhong, but he began to collect Cheng Shijie's intelligence earlier, because Cheng Shijie defeated Jiannu several times in Liaodong and became famous all over the world.
Later, Sun Kewang also knew that Cheng Shijie's two adopted sons, Cheng Hu and Cheng Shi, were young and took charge of themselves, especially Cheng Shi, who directly became the uncrowned king of Luzon.
This made Sun Kewang very envious, if he could become Cheng Shijie's adopted son, his achievements would be much stronger than Cheng Shi.
However, Sun Kewang was also very happy to become Cheng Shijie's personal guard, which means that Cheng Shijie trusts him, Cheng Shijie actually doesn't trust Sun Kewang, but after Wu Sheng served as the chief soldier of Wu Songkou, he lacked the protection of masters.
Li Dingguo, this kid, was unexpected, making Cheng Shijie's personal guards very passive, although Sun Kewang's character is unbearable, he still has the ability to solve problems, especially his skills.
It's still good to act as a bodyguard, not to mention, Cheng Shijie is also ready to use Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang is the left commander, and Li Dingguo will be the right commander.
Besides, Cheng Shijie's personal soldiers are all the most loyal soldiers of Ning Haijun to Cheng Shijie, even if Sun Kewang wants to do something, he can't do it.
Sun Kewang became the commander of Cheng Shijie's personal army, and was immediately distributed two sets of brand-new black military uniforms, as well as two pairs of sheepskin boots, washbasins, lunch boxes, bedding, mosquito nets, backpacks and other items.
Sun Kewang was most interested in weapons, the horizontal knife he received was slightly different from the horizontal knife used by ordinary soldiers, the horizontal knife equipped by ordinary soldiers, the handle, scabbard, and blade did not have any ornaments, simple and unpretentious, but there was a terrifying murderous aura that made people's hearts chill.
As for the commander level, it is actually the level of the commander of the company, with a scabbard made of crocodile skin, a handle made of yellow horns, and a brass decoration of the tiger's head on the hand guard.
Sun Kewang sighed that Cheng Shijie really trusted him and equipped him with such a good weapon.
Regardless of the cold water of the river, Sun Kewang took a cold shower, changed into a new military uniform, and looked very energetic, and it was only at this time that he felt the generosity of Ning Haijun.
As the commander-in-chief, he himself had a tent, about twenty square meters, and bedding or something, like the rest of the soldiers, mounted on a wagon.
Especially when eating, Sun Kewang almost wanted to cry, as Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, when following Zhang Xianzhong, there was naturally no shortage of materials, but the problem is that no matter how short he is, he can barely eat enough, and he can eat some meat with salt, but the problem is that Ning Haijun's food is not only rich, but also tastes very good.
Canned fruit, which is a rare luxury in Zhang Xianzhong's army, is a standard item in the Ninghai Army, and there is also cheese, milk tea can be drunk unlimitedly, and the most important thing is that he also has a military salary.
You can get six taels of silver every month, although six taels of silver is not much for Sun Kewang, the key is that the money is comfortable.
Cheng Shijie looked at Sun Kewang with an arrogant face and said: "Commander Sun, although you are the commander, our Ning Navy is a place where rules are spoken, and officers must also abide by the rules, take what should be taken, and don't stretch out your hand if you shouldn't take it, otherwise it won't be good for you." ”
Sun Kewang's heart shook slightly, and he said solemnly: "Xie Dashuai's teachings, keep your humble duties in mind!" ”
"The former commander of this marshal, the current chief soldier of Wusongkou, is in charge of the handsome seal, and is the marshal of a town, I hope you will not live up to the hope of this marshal!"
Sun Kewang was overjoyed, this is to cultivate him. In the past, he was a rogue who was spurned by everyone, but now he not only has an establishment, but more importantly, the development of Shijie in the process of Ning Haijun is almost the same every day, not only in Liaodong, there are millions of people, but also tens of thousands of troops, six or seven thousand factories, millions of hectares of fertile land, what a terrifying scale, if you can join their circle, the benefits you get are definitely ten times stronger than tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Of course, the information that Sun Kewang obtained was not the real core secret of the Ning Navy, in fact, the Ning Navy in Liaodong ruled over eight or nine million people, if you count Dayuan and Luzon, the number of people exceeded 10 million, if you count the Ning Navy Navy, the total number of Ning Navy exceeded 300,000 troops.
"The humble position will definitely live up to the great handsome!"
"So much the best!"
Gao Qiqian, as the supervisor of the Ning Navy, heard the news that Cheng Shijie led the army to pacify Zhang Xianzhong's troops, so he hurriedly chased along the place where Cheng Shijie walked from Wusongkou.
But the problem is that when he was high in Nanjing, he was dragged by Lu Jiuyi, a eunuch and his henchman in Nanjing, to drink wine and eat a meal of fish belly. This fish belly is sashimi, which is one of the quintessences of the small day in later generations, Japanese cuisine.
In fact, the fish belly originated in China, as early as the Zhou Dynasty has a clear record, can be traced back to the "Book of Poetry Xiaoya June": "Jifu Yanxi, both blessed." Come and return to the pickaxe, I will walk forever. Drink the friends of the royal family, and the turtle and carp. Who's in charge? Zhang Zhong Xiaoyou", in which "Guanli" is raw carp fillet. Later, the Spring and Autumn "Analects" and the Warring States "Mencius" all had records about "Guan".
After the continuation of the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties, in the Tang Dynasty, Yusheng officially became famous, and even has its photos in many poems, such as: Li Bai's "Twelve Songs of Quasi-Ancient Times" said "blow the flute and dance the colorful phoenix, drink the liyu god fish"; Du Fu's "Two Songs of the Night" in "Temporarily Remembering Jiangdong Fish, and Disembarking with Snow"; Bai Juyi's "Light Fat" mentions "cutting the scales of Tianchi" and so on.
After learning the Yusheng of the Tang Dynasty in the small days, it began to carry forward, sashimi, eel, and sukiyaki. Sashimi, in particular, has become one of Japan's most culturally distinctive dishes.
Although the fish is delicious and delicious, there is no way to solve the parasites inside, Gao Qiqian is nearly fifty years old after all, and he is a eunuch, with poor resistance, he has been having diarrhea since Nanjing, and his health is not good, and it is impossible to rush desperately.
finally rushed to Macheng, but found that there was no trace of the rogues in Macheng, leaving only a few large mounds and burying thousands of dead rogues.
"What?? Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of rogues were settled like this? ”
A brocade guard reported to Gao Qiqian: "Father-in-law, in fact, he didn't fight much at all, Cheng Shuai just let the fire dragon shoot a few rounds out of the water, and then used the thunderbolt to fight a few rounds, and then, Zhang Xianzhong fled, and all the rogues surrendered immediately!" ”
Gao Qiqian felt incredulous: "It's that simple? ”
"It's that simple!"
"Hundreds of thousands of rogues were easily wiped out like this?"
"It is said that Zhang Xianzhong has more than 1,000 people around him at this time!"
Of course, this is an exaggeration, Zhang Xianzhong fled too fast, and there were tens of thousands of rogues blocking him, he was actually followed by 20,000 or 30,000 horses, it can be said that Zhang Xianzhong still has at least 30,000 people.
This is actually the pit that Cheng Shijie had to dig at the beginning, he had already guessed that someone would definitely rob him of the fruits of his battle, and he didn't know which unlucky guy would be unlucky.
Gao Qiqian was stunned for a long time before he slapped his forehead and sighed: "This is incredible!" More than 6,000 horsemen, fighting more with less, annihilated more than 100,000 rogues with one meal, and no casualties among themselves. ”
Judging from Gao Qiqian's expression, he seems to be really distressed now!
Several brocade guards all pouted their lips in unison, they didn't know that there was a word called Versailles in later generations, and the current high diving is very Versailles.
However, in the eyes of these brocade guards, Gao Qiqian is very pretending now, who doesn't know that your heart is already happy? Think about Yang He, think about Chen Qiyu, those two unlucky bastards, tossing for several years, the more they toss, the more they toss, compared with Yang He and Chen Qiyu, Gao Qiqian, the prison army, is too happy!
In fact, Gao Qiqian is not really the happiest, the happiest is the current military secretary Zhang Fengyi, after Chen Qiyu's defeat, Daming Wenchen began to habitually operate and replace people.
In the matter, Liu Chang impeached Chen Zhuangyou, the chief soldier of Fengyi, and accepted heavy bribes. In order to show his innocence, Zhang Fengyi personally wrote a book, served as a supervisor, and went out to quell the rebellion.
In March of the eighth year of Chongzhen, that is, Zhang Fengyi had just served as the commander of the suppression of Kou, and Cheng Shi's outstanding soldiers defeated Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Fengyi has not yet left the capital, and a great credit has fallen on his head, after all, Zhang Fengyi is now Cheng Shijie's boss.
Gao Qiqian continued to chase Cheng Shijie's army, and with Cheng Shijie to Huangzhou Mansion, the logistics unit of the Ning Navy finally transported the grain to Huangzhou, and Meng En and Yuan Shiliang led the infantry and artillery forces of the Ning Navy to join Cheng Shijie in Huanggang County.
Because the grain was transported, Cheng Shijie was not stingy.
Of course, the principle is unchanged, giving priority to the elderly, weak, women and children, and the young and strong live behind, because these homeless people are too poor, they are afraid that they will eat too much, eat bad stomachs, the amount of food still has to be controlled, first of all, children, the elderly, women and sick people have a bowl of rice, a spoonful of broth, a bowl of dried sweet potato porridge, and the young and strong are a bowl of rice, flour, dried meat and potatoes and cabbage.
Although there is already enough food, there will be no shortage of supply, but the problem is that these rogues are already hungry, and they are not afraid of burning after receiving them, so they pour their heads into their throats, and as a result, they are so hot that they convulsions, and even then they are reluctant to spit it out, but stretch their necks and swallow it.
Sun Kewang followed Cheng Shijie, a little puzzled why Cheng Shijie was good to these rogues, perhaps because he saw the doubts of the commander, a pro-soldier veteran taught Sun Kewang his experience.
Only then did Sun Kewang know that Cheng Shijie was very experienced in making money, and Ning Haijun started by fighting bandits, and Ning Haijun was very experienced in how to settle bandits and displaced people.
Ning Haijun's model is actually similar to the commune he engaged in before the 80s. The commune system was once criticized, but it was not so bad, especially in the first twenty years, the effect was very significant, and the problem of feeding the people was solved at once, although the population has been swelling, food security has always been guaranteed, except for three difficult years, no one has starved to death.
The current situation is much worse than it was when the People's Republic of China was founded, land annexation is extremely serious, land is exhausted, seeds are degraded, chemical fertilizers and pesticides are not even thought of.
Cheng Shijie took so much effort, and in the end he still wanted to turn all these more than 100,000 rogues into military households or workers, these are all laborers, what a pity to kill.
After figuring out Cheng Shijie's intentions, Sun Kewang found Cheng Shijie and said: "Handsome ......"
When Sun Kewang raised his head, he found that it was Li Dingguo standing next to Cheng Shijie, and Li Dingguo looked at Sun Kewang at this time, and his eyes could almost erupt with fire.
"Hopefully, you came at the right time, the marshal especially appreciates Li Dingguo's skills, and decided to appoint him as the commander-in-chief of the marshal's own army, and you will cooperate wholeheartedly in the future!"
"Yes!"
Sun Kewang naturally understood Cheng Shijie's true intentions, although he and Li Dingguo were both Zhang Xianzhong's righteous sons, but the problem was that he put Li Dingguo together, and now Li Dingguo has no possibility of easing with him at all, which means that Cheng Shijie can balance their contradictions.
Sun Kewang didn't care about these things, he cared or was dissatisfied, and he couldn't change anything, Cheng Shijie definitely couldn't care about his dissatisfaction.
Sun Kewang did not forget his original intention: "Dashuai, do you want people?" ”
"Nature, people are precious resources, and the more nature, the better!"
Sun Kewang said: "There is a way to get more people for the handsome!" ”
"Oh!"
"What can you do?"
Although they are now sentenced to labor reform, they do not worry about food, clothing, or encirclement by the official army. At least it's much more comfortable than being a rogue! ”
Sun Kewang continued: "Although Zhang Xianzhong is newly defeated, there are still a lot of scattered rogues around, and he thinks that he can let some people out, so that they can persuade those scattered rogues to abandon the dark and turn to the light!" ”
For Sun Kewang's request, Cheng Shijie is not worried now, he rejected Han's proposal because of a serious shortage of food, and now Cheng Shijie has food, in fact, even if Sun Kewang doesn't mention this stubble, Cheng Shijie is still ready to take a steamed bun offensive.
is to prepare to let some of the local rogues in Huangfu who were coerced hold steamed buns, as long as they turn around casually, they can deceive a large number of homeless people.
"Ben Shuai agreed, and you are responsible for this matter!"
Sun Kewang didn't want to deceive a few gangsters, this was not his real goal, his real goal was Zhang Xianzhong, as long as Zhang Xianzhong was caught, this was a great achievement, and he could step on Li Dingguo's head.
In this way, after some preparations, Sun Kewang took off the uniform of the Ning Navy that he had just worn for a few days, folded it neatly, and then locked it in the box, and explained to his orderly: "Look at Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is going to make great contributions this time, even if he is not promoted to three levels in the future, he will be promoted to two levels!" ”
As the time of joining the Ning Navy became longer and longer, Sun Kewang found that the benefits of becoming the Ning Navy were really many, they would not only be divided into land for free, but also houses, officers of his level could be divided into a large mansion of three acres of land, and the beheading level was divided into ten acres of land, or fifty acres of land.
With Sun Kewang's skills, he can get the greatest feats in the shortest possible time, as long as Zhang Xianzhong is captured, as well as the people around Zhang Xianzhong, he can immediately become a big landlord and live a nourishing life every day.
In this way, Sun Kewang selected more than 200 broken up old departments from the captives, and Sun Kewang didn't tell them the truth, but contacted them, and as a result, these old departments didn't like their own boss at all, and turned around and tied up Sun Kewang.
Watching Sun Kewang being tied up into zongzi and thrown in front of Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie couldn't get it: "Kewang, you are ......"
"Dashuai, Sun Kewang wants to betray you, so we will arrest him and ask Dashuai to send him down!"
In fact, these rogues have become accustomed to the days in Huangzhou Mansion, they now do not have to work every day, just training, in units of 100 households, in the morning on the river boat training for a day, every meal can be eaten with a round belly, as long as it is evening, the time is at their own disposal.
Of course, they are still serving hard labor, and they are not free to go out, and if they want to go out, they must apply and be accompanied, and then they can go out. Besides, although their training is hard, no matter how hard they work, will they become rogues and hard?
As an old oilman from Shaanxi, each of them is a prisoner of labor reform, and in their eyes, where to serve in labor reform is simply enjoying happiness.
In desperation, Cheng Shijie had no choice but to tell them the truth, and as soon as these rogues heard that they were on a mission, their eyes immediately widened.
Such a good thing?
"As long as you capture an old thief, you can reduce your sentence by one year?"
"That's right, I know, your name is Fang Daqiang, fifteen years of labor reform, you only need to capture fifteen people, you can immediately become a hundred households in Tuntian, and in the future, you only need to pay thirty percent of the rent, and after three years, the land you planted will be yours!"
"Xie Dashuai!"
As Sun Kewang left the temporary camp in Huangzhou with more than 200 rogues, within a few days, some people brought the rogues back one after another.
These "rogues" are actually locals of Huangzhou Mansion, there are tens of thousands of people, and most of them are old and weak women and children, however, Cheng Shijie does not dislike it, the old people can't do heavy work, so let them go to Luzon to herd cattle and feed chickens, and the weaker ones can also be arranged to clean the streets.
The little kid who was less than eight years old was kicked into the school by him, and he was still wearing open crotch pants, not honestly going to study, and running all over the mountain with his bare buttocks! As for those women, just help wash clothes and cook, men and women are not tired of working, anyway, some are working!
Cheng Shijie also specially ordered that the rogues who want to start a family can apply, and the single soldiers of the Ning Navy can also apply to find a family to marry from the homeless people without a bride price.
Now Cheng Shijie is also wealthy, as long as the soldiers of the Ning Navy get married, he will send ten taels of silver to the newlyweds in the name of the chief soldier of the Ning Navy.
This move made the displaced people and the soldiers of the Ning Navy grateful to Cheng Shijie, whether it was training or working, they naturally redoubled their efforts.
Since Huangzhou is a riverside area, many of the displaced people themselves will be watery and will not get seasick, so as the first batch of immigrants, they began to climb the mountain boat and began to embark on the journey to Luzon.
On this day, a group of about 1,000 displaced people embarked on the journey, Cheng Shijie looked at the immigrants from four hundred households, each of whom distributed sufficient dry food, as well as canned food, clothing, medicine, knives, guns, armor and various equipment.
Most of the equipment seized this time was in tatters, and Cheng Shijie couldn't look down on it, so it happened to be sent to these 100 households in Tuntian, and when they arrived in Luzon, these 100 households in Tuntian also had a certain amount of self-protection.
In fact, using the rogues to go to Tuntian Luzon, this is killing two birds with one stone, these rogues have seen blood, killed people, and are not good birds, although the natives of Luzon are barbaric, but, these rogues who have slept on the palace of Hades, the corpse mountain, and bathed in the blood water, the two really collide together, these rogues can easily clean up the natives of Luzon without the help of Ning naval soldiers.
In the Dabie Mountains, Sun Kewang and more than 200 rogues are moving forward with difficulty, unlike the north, the rainfall in the Dabie Mountains is low, and it often rains.
In fact, it can get wet even if it doesn't rain. Dabie Mountain is really not a good place, the humidity here is very heavy, and the clothes can't dry at all. This kind of ghost weather is naturally no better than mixing in the mountains, and after a few days of advancement, Sun Kewang has lost a lot of weight.
However, Sun Kewang did not flinch, he had already touched the tail of the rogue.
: What should I do if a rat gets into the powder magazine with a fire in its mouth? The answer is to have the cat chase the mouse with water in its mouth.
Now Sun Kewang is a cat with water in his mouth, and he is chasing Zhang Xianzhong, a mouse.
After finally crossing a mountain, a rugged path appeared in front of them, stretching intermittently into the depths of the mountain forest.
The thinnest rogue, wiped a handful of sweat, pointed to this path and said, "Commander Sun, finally catch up, the stamping marks along this path will not exceed four hours at most, and we will be able to catch up with them!" ”
"Monkey, you can't be wrong, right?"
Sun Kewang looked ahead with a telescope, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"You can't be wrong, if you're wrong, you buckle your little eyes down as a bubble!"
"Speed up!"
