Chapter 1172 The Karma of King Thalon
The one in Shandong, similar to the Qian family, after Liu Xingzuo thought about it for a while, he immediately understood who it was.

Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, is the flagpole among scholars, the so-called Qingliu, at least in terms of prestige.And as far as Liu Xingzuo knows, as the successor of the Donglin Party, Fushe had previously engaged in a series of connections with great momentum and wanted to resist scientific and technological knowledge.Behind this, in any case, there are the shadows of the old people of the Donglin Party, and Qian Qianyi cannot escape from this.

In the lobby of the restaurant a few days ago, the student named Zhu Jinhua revealed that this matter was supported by Shandong.

Once these things are connected, needless to say, it must be the Kong family.

For this, since the emperor started to promote scientific and technological knowledge, as the emperor's confidant, he knew that sooner or later the emperor would take action against the Kong family.Now, with the addition of these things, the Kong family is going to be in trouble.

If the civil servants heard about this matter, they would probably have some scruples and would persuade him; however, Liu Xingzuo is a general, and the Kong family has no natural deterrent power for him.Therefore, he promised without any scruples.

The matter of the Chen family was settled, and Emperor Chongzhen went back to drink tea with his two concubines.But while he was chatting, he was a little off, thinking about other things.

For gathering places with more than [-] households, the court's approach to setting up a township head was still too rough, and some details were not considered.

For example, in the setting of official yamen, it is generally set according to the population.In theory, there's nothing wrong with this.

But here in the south of the Yangtze River, many towns with more than [-] households were formed because of various industries, and the economic benefits were very large.If it's just an ordinary eighth-rank township head to manage, any official can overwhelm him.Even with his own background like Chen Youming, those who want to reach out have their own way.

To solve this problem, at least to a certain extent, the occurrence of this problem can be prevented. Emperor Chongzhen did not need to think too much. With the experience of later generations, he only needs to set these economically important towns as special townships and treat them specially.

For example, this kind of township head can be raised to the same level as a county, and directly under the government or provincial level.The manpower of the yamen also needs to be expanded. If necessary, local branches of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be set up to supervise economic corruption and the like.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen entered the chat group, came to the Wenhua Palace group, talked about this matter, and asked Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony supervisor, and Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, to take the lead in considering it and come up with a specific plan.

A Nanxun town has a transaction volume of tens of millions of taels of silver.On the Jiangnan side, there is naturally more than one town like Nanxun.This is all money, no matter whether it is Wen Tiren or Cao Huachun, they dare not be negligent, so they quickly agreed and began to consider this matter according to the emperor's intention.

Not only that, Emperor Chongzhen entered the temporary group of factory guards again, and ordered Liu Xingzuo and Wang Chengen to send Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fans respectively to patrol these economic centers secretly from time to time.In addition, the forces in the arena must also be controlled.

After finishing this matter and learning about the Husi trading situation this year from Chen Youming, Emperor Chongzhen quietly left Nanxun Town again.

This micro-service southern tour explained the situation of the southern shipyards, prepared for violent soldiers, and responded to the future conditions of Nanyang and the wider ocean; taking the hot air balloon as an opportunity, it greatly promoted the influence of scientific and technological knowledge in Jiangnan; understand Based on the situation of the economically important town in the south of the Yangtze River, further improve the lowest-level government mechanism;

In this way, the purpose of this southern tour has basically been achieved, which puts Emperor Chongzhen in a good mood.Therefore, after he left Nanxun Town, he fulfilled his promise and went to Yangzhou to accompany Concubine Tian back to her natal home.

At this time, on the muddy roads of South Asia, a huge army was marching.

To say it is an army is actually a bit of an exaggeration.

Because this army has no uniform at all.There are soldiers in armor, some in civilian clothes, and even shirtless.Regardless, these are still holding weapons.There are long spears and spears, there are also matchlock guns, or bows and arrows on their backs, waist knives and so on.But at the back of the team, there are more people, who can be seen as farmers, transporting a large amount of food and supplies, and basically no one of these people wears a shirt.

There are indeed cavalry in the marching team, but at a glance, they are divided into three parts.

There were about a hundred riders, men and horses with armor, spears shining with cold light, a shield hanging on one side of the horse, tall horses, and strong pawns.During the march, five cavalry and one row basically marched in unison without much difference. It looked like an elite cavalry army.

The second part of the cavalry is about three hundred in number.For these cavalry, the horses are not armored, but the soldiers still wear armor.

The third part of the cavalry army is also the largest cavalry army. There are about a thousand cavalry. Most of them are unarmored and have various weapons, but it can be seen that most of them are equipped with bows and arrows.

But in this team, the most eye-catching ones are the ten elephants in the middle army.These are war elephants.

At this time, the team had just crossed the nominal dividing line between Bengal and Togo, and continued to march towards Ava.Needless to say, this army was the partial division that Shah Jahan finally sent to attack Awa.

Generally speaking, in South Asia, the boundaries between countries are not as clear as in later generations.On this dividing line, there are no cities, heavily guarded, etc.Because at this time, South Asia actually had a small population.Between Bengal and Awa, there are not many decent cities, and the situation in the mainland of Ming Dynasty is simply incomparable.

Next to one of the elephants in the center position, the one-armed King Thalom is here.Riding on an old horse, frowning, looking left and right, looking around.In the end, he sighed in his heart, then raised his head, looked at the army commander Summit sitting on the back of the elephant, and said: "Commander, we have already reached the territory of Dongwu, should we send out scouts?"

Hearing this, Summitt glanced down at him, and said indifferently, "It's still several days away from Mingren's city, and there's no one on the way, why are you panicking?"

Speaking of this, he thought of something, and couldn't help saying with a little sarcasm: "But it's not your fault, okay, you lost the whole Dongwu, no wonder you are so flustered!"

King Long felt aggrieved when he heard that, if he had dealt with this kind of person before, he would have given him a few lashes.But now the situation is stronger than others, and now that I am under the eaves of others, I have to bow my head.

After adjusting his mentality, King Long raised his head again, with a sincere expression on his face, and continued to advise: "Marshal, Ming people are full of tricks, so we must guard against them!"

"What kind of scheming?" Sumit sneered when he heard it, "Didn't you say that on Dongwu's side, there are people from your side? Didn't you say that the Ming people in Dongwu are all unbearable?" Was it an attack? The civil strife in the Ming country is endless, and the chieftains are rebelling one after another, do they still have the energy to manage this remote place?"

King Talong was a little dumb when he heard it. In order to convince Shah Jahan to send troops, he tried his best to belittle the Ming army.Unexpectedly, Shah Jahan was finally persuaded to send troops, but the leading generals sent by Shah Jahan looked down on the Ming people!

He remembered that when he attacked Meng Mi back then, he had so many troops to attack Meng Mi whose city wall was not high, but he was still unable to defeat it.And those guarding the city are now regarded as the army of the Tang Kingdom, and have not been transferred back to the Ming Kingdom to suppress the rebellion.

Thinking of this, King Long became more and more uneasy.This general of the Mughal Empire despises the Ming army so much, and pays less attention to the Ming army than he did back then. This is really a bit dangerous!
Looking up again, he remonstrated again: "Leading troops to fight, eyes and ears are the first. At the beginning, I didn't pay attention to this point, so I let the Ming army hide in the mountains, and finally copied the treasure well where I piled up grain and grass. Such a lesson , we must guard against..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the impatient Summitt, who yelled coldly: "Shut up, you thought it was you! You lost such a big Dongwu, I’m ashamed to say it. If I knew you were so incompetent, I should have suggested to the Great Khan to march eastward and occupy Dongwu, so the Ming people would not have occupied it first.”

Hearing this, King Long's face turned pale.At any rate, he was also the king of Dongwu, and he once promised everything.Even in Delhi, Shah Jahan never said that about him. Unexpectedly, a mere general leading an army would humiliate him so much.

Who knows, this is not over yet. Seeing his face, Summitt seemed to continue to attack him more proudly: "Just because you can't beat the Ming people, it doesn't mean that you will not be able to beat the Ming people. Our Mughal Empire, now dominates The world. If it is a head-on confrontation with the Ming country, then I will be careful and deal with it with [-] points of energy. But Dongwu is just a remote place, and the Ming people are new, so how much threat can they pose? ?”

Speaking of this, he stretched his neck forward, stretched out a little more like the seat on his back, stared down at the raised face of King Long, and said with confidence: "Believe it or not, Dongwu's Mingren don't know That’s all, if you know that the great Mughal Empire sent troops to attack, if you’re not hiding in the city trembling, or you’ve already fled back to the Ming Kingdom?”

Hearing this, King Long couldn't help but want to curse.He admitted that the Mughal Empire is indeed powerful today.But his own Dongwu was not weak back then, otherwise, the Mughal Empire would not eat the fat?

Now, Dongwu was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, can your Mughal Empire defeat itself in one battle and swallow Dongwu?Why did Shah Jahan send such a pig-headed general over here, who was defiant and uttered wild words, this omen is very bad!

At this time, he has forgotten how he belittled the Ming Dynasty and how he praised the Mughal Empire.He didn't know that if the words were said too much, and the words spread too much, the degree of exaggeration would be magnified.

No matter how anxious and worried King Long was, if he wanted revenge, he had to rely on the general of the Mughal Empire.After thinking for a while, he finally understood the problem.

So, King Long took a deep breath and said: "Actually, Dongwu's Ming army is not that weak! Some of their troops may be far more elite than the Mughal Empire..."

"What?" Sumit's face changed when he heard it, and he snapped, "Do you know what you're talking about? You wouldn't say that what you said in front of Dahan before was all a lie, right? ?”

Hearing this, King Long didn't show any fear, and even said calmly: "The commander-in-chief misunderstood, how could I have the courage to deceive the Great Khan! What I said was just to explain a part of the army. In the Battle of Baojing, the Ming army had firearms. I heard that their firearms were much better than those of the Mughal Empire. I heard that their firearms did not need to be ignited, they were very powerful, and they were very large. Even war elephants can't resist..."

"Hahaha..." Sumit couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard it, "I don't know what you're thinking about. If you blow it, you can blow it anyway. Firearms don't need to be ignited? Are they still called firearms?"

Speaking of this, without waiting for King Long to explain, he stretched out his hand and pointed to his army and said: "When I go back to attack Ava, I will show you the power of the bronze artillery of our Mughal Empire! And I am so What a shocking scene it would be to launch multiple muskets together. Let me show you, the invincible cavalry of our Mughal Empire..."

King Long watched him blowing, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.Forget it, don't persuade me anymore.Now I have just entered Dongwu's side, and I am still far away from Ava.Just wait for two days.Two days later, at least he is the general who leads the army and fights. He should understand that sending out scouts is a necessary prerequisite for marching and fighting.

Thinking of this, King Long felt a little strange. Logically speaking, the person he sent to contact Dongwu's old department should be rewarded. Why is there no news yet?

He was thinking here, and when Summit saw that he was silent, thinking that King Long was overwhelmed by the military power he displayed, he retracted his head in satisfaction.

But they didn't know that someone was staring at them in the canyon in the distance.

The one who used the binoculars was none other than Fu Yuman, a general of the Tang Dynasty.At this time, he watched the marching army of the Mughal Empire with a telescope.And beside him, Ye Bushou, who was familiar with the Mughal Empire, was introducing the situation to him.

This made him understand that the most elite cavalry in this army is the Imperial Forest Army of the Mughal Empire, which is somewhat similar to the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty Jingying.The other two cavalry armies are Shiyi cavalry and feudal cavalry, both sent by the Bengal province and belonging to the local army.

Among the entire enemy army, he cared most about this cavalry army.The rest of the arms, whether it is infantry or war elephants, are not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Although in the end, the Governor of Bangladesh sent additional troops, from the original 5000 to [-].But these still can't change Fu Yuman's impression of this army.

I heard him whispering: "The Mughal Empire is marching and fighting, just like it is now, I don't know how it has such a reputation?"

Of course, the fame he mentioned was only heard of after he arrived in Dongwu.

Ye stopped listening, turned to look, and understood what Fu Yuman was talking about.In the eyes of Da Ming, the army of the Mughal Empire has no military discipline at all.Marching and fighting, not to mention not sending out scouts, just during the march, you can see soldiers jumping out of the team from time to time, or simply standing on the side of the road, or squatting, or standing there to defecate.

This kind of thing, no matter those civilians are like this, even those regular soldiers are the same, it seems that this is the custom of the people!
Ye Bushou thought for a moment, then replied to Fu Yuman, "The Mughal Empire has been using troops against the north, and most of their elites have also been transferred to the north."

Hearing this, Fu Yuman couldn't help but looked at the elite cavalry again, and nodded.Only in this way can the Mughal Empire be considered a powerful country here.This point, I still have to pay attention.

Thinking of this, he looked at it for a while, and felt that he had seen enough, so he issued an order to all his subordinates to lie in wait and not make any noise.

After walking for a long time, King Long saw a canyon in front of him.There is also a river between the canyons. The official road is close to the foot of the mountain, and it is not very wide.This terrain can be regarded as relatively dangerous.

He watched for a moment, trying to raise his head to call Summit's attention.But when he opened his mouth to say something, he didn't say it in the end.Say what?Remind him, let him pay attention to the ambushes of the Ming Kingdom?If you really want to have this awareness, you won't even send scouts.After all, it is because of this that I entered Dongwu, and it is still far away from Awa. How could the Ming army appear here?

Thinking of this, he lowered his head again, feeling helpless in his heart.Back then, when I was the king of Dongwu, I had the final say on everything!But now...

Thinking of this, King Long sighed in his heart.

But he didn't know that Summitt was sitting on the elephant and saw the terrain of the canyon ahead of him before him.If it is said that he is leading the army to fight Persia, and this is the place where the battle is fought, then he will definitely be cautious.But now, it's just to deal with the Ming people who occupy Dongwu, and they are still far away.Because of this, Summitt just looked at it and didn't care.Otherwise, there are many places like this along the way, so do you have to check every place first?
After all, this place is still too far away from Ava, neither Summit nor King Talong really cares about it.

When the army passed through the canyon, many soldiers in the team even ran out of the team and went to drink water, wash their faces, and defecate on their stomachs on the river.

But at this moment, suddenly, there was a huge sound, and everyone turned their heads to look at it.However, at the narrow place at the entrance of the canyon, on the mountains on both sides, I don't know how many huge boulders and huge trees rolled down.

The accident made the Mughals below dumbfounded, and many of them were smashed into meat before they recovered.

Amid the sound of crying father and mother, the team was cut into two sections.Most of the soldiers of this army are in the canyon.They found in despair that there were countless figures on the mountain. Looking at the red clothes, he, King Long, was in despair!

It was ambushed by the Ming army!
