Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 133 Change Your Mind

After Xu Erxian's death, the Qing army in the Si'en Mansion had already lost their command, and the flying soldiers of the Great Ming Restoration Army entered, which severely damaged their morale.The assembled Ming army captured the east gate in one go. After opening the city gate, more Ming troops entered the city.Relying on their stronger weapons and equipment and more effective tactics, the Qing army retreated steadily, and in the end they could only choose to surrender on a large scale.

Some Qing soldiers chose to resist, but they couldn't stand the Ming army's firepower. Any recalcitrance could only be met with fierce attacks, and few people survived in the end.There were also Qing troops who opened other city gates and chose to escape from the city, but Bai Mingxiu had already arranged for a cavalry to intercept and kill them outside the city. The Qing troops who saw the Ming cavalry were also completely discouraged. They bent their knees and begged for mercy first. .

Bai Mingxiu stayed in the Si'en government office to carry out aftermath work. After the battle, the soldiers of the 104th regiment began to restore order and security in the city, and detained the surrendered Qing army.

Accompanying them into the city were the big and small chieftains that Bai Mingxiu "kidnapped" before.These chieftains all witnessed the siege of the Ming army, including the prince himself leading the soldiers to fly into the city, and even saw the exaggerated and frightening firepower of the Ming army.When they were escorted into the city, many of the chieftains were fighting in two directions and were frightened a lot.

Mo Meng's heart is full of turmoil now. He has never heard of the majesty of the army led by His Royal Highness before, but what he saw with his own eyes today has already made him feel that the Qing army is not enough to look at such an army. .

Many chieftains think how brave their soldiers are. They also thought it was the same when they saw the Ming army and Qing army before. Except that they had more tactics and better weapons, they still thought that the soldiers were more powerful.However, some chieftains who are more capable of leading soldiers have to admit at this time that even if their soldiers are several times more powerful, as long as they are still mortal, they must be afraid of the invincible firearms of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Mo Xiaolian is taking care of her father and brother at this time. Compared with her father and brother who are under strict supervision, Mo Xiaolian's freedom is not restricted too much.

Staying by his father's side, although Mo Xiaolian was in a more depressed state than before, she was still like a cute lark, always chirping.

"The little emperor is really amazing. Is he really a bird? He can actually fly!"

Mo Songzhao was also amazed: "His Royal Highness is really flying ordinary people, and his subordinates are more capable than others. I can see that this ability to fly into the city must have used some special utensils, such as siege ladders and catapults." For ordinary creations, His Royal Highness's army's firearms are exceptionally powerful, and they have flying wings, and with the help of Li Dingguo and other loyal ministers and generals, I am afraid that the world will still have the surname Zhu."

Mo Meng's face was gloomy, and he said: "It doesn't matter whether his old Zhu's family finally took back the world, or Aixinjueluo's sitting, our family is now in their hands, and life and death are up to others."

Mo Xiaolian puffed out her cute cheeks, and said angrily, "The little emperor is too disrespectful. I brought him here before, but now he treats Dad like this."

There was nothing Mo Meng could do about his rough and natural daughter.He dotes on this daughter very much, but this daughter always does extraordinary things. This time, she even attracted Prince Nanming, and served all the toasts in Guangxi in one pot.

Speaking of which, Mo Xiaolian is really one of Bai Mingxiu's "lucky generals".

Mo Meng had no choice but to take a look at his son, and found a book protruding from his cloth bag.

"Where did you get the book?"

Mo Songzhao took out the book whose binding did not look like an ancient book. From the subtle movements, it could be seen that Mo Songzhao cherished this book very much.

"When I was under house arrest that day, His Royal Highness happened to pass by, chatted with me a few words, and asked me if I like to read. My son said he liked it, so the prince gave this book to his son. I am studying it these days. I feel that the discussion in it is novel and grand, if the galaxy is vast, and it penetrates into it, it is really..."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Meng had already snatched the book. On the cover was written three large characters "Economic Treatise", and underneath was the author's name: Marne.

Although Mo Meng is a local official, he has also received a good education in Confucianism. He casually flipped through the book, and was shocked to find that the whole book was written in vernacular. There was no "literary talent" to speak of. You can't see it at a glance.

"What are these things, what are they talking about?"

Mo Songzhao carefully took the book from his father, he said: "My son has only read a few chapters now, but he is already enlightened. The book talks about productivity and production relations, as well as national finance and taxation. The intention of His Royal Highness. In his opinion, all the chieftains in Guangxi are far from efficient in governing the area. If they can apply appropriate production relations to stimulate the production of native and Han people, they will be punished by effective fiscal and taxation methods. , the people are not responsible and the country is rich. Now it seems that the existence of the chieftain of Guangxi is the opposite of this prince. Father and all uncles should be ready to reform the land and return to the people."

Mo Meng still couldn't understand what this son was talking about, but his personality was open-minded, he said: "Hmph, don't care what the prince's intentions are, now that he is strong and strong, he has tied us up again, even if he is reformed, How can we stop him? If we can save the lives of my Mo family and not insult my fellow villagers in Xincheng, then let him go."

Mo Songzhao said: "Father's words are very kind. My son thinks that the prince doesn't want the chieftain anymore, but it doesn't make things difficult for all of us. As long as we make a good agreement, there is always a way. My son thinks, why don't we take the initiative to propose to the prince to change the land?" Go back and see if you can get some benefits."

Mo Meng rolled his eyes a few times, and said ruthlessly: "The world is in chaos, the Ming army is so strong, I am afraid that the Qing army will not be able to return for the time being, so let's ask someone to send a message to the prince, saying that our Mo family is not good. I've become a chieftain. Hey, but no matter what, I have to find a background for you. Since you can understand the prince's books, you will surely win his favor. If you can be an official in the court, it can't be compared to being the chieftain of Xincheng for a lifetime. more promising."

Mo Xiaolian couldn't understand the conversation between father and brother. She said confusedly: "Didn't you say you want to confront the little emperor? What are you doing, dad and eldest brother? Why are you going to do this for the little emperor again? What about being an official? The little emperor even told me that day that if I wanted to be an official, he would send me to the Imperial College for Women."

Mo Meng laughed: "Okay, our little pity is first-class smart, I can be a high-ranking official!"
