Chongzhen Undergraduates

"The imperial court specializes in the manufacture of weapons, but it is independent of the Ministry of War. In the future, the Ministry of War will buy weapons directly from me with money."

When Qin Liangyu heard this, his hands trembled in fright. The old lady's hands were fighting a little, and the certificate fell to the ground.Mrs. Xing hurriedly picked it up from the ground, blew on the dust, and stuffed it into the old lady's hand again.

What a big business it is to manufacture weapons in a country. With [-] shares, Qin Liangyu can already think of Zhu Youjian's love for her. This is a subsidy for Shizhu's reformation.

"Girl, tell me the truth. How many shares did the emperor give you?" Qin Liangyu couldn't calm down any longer, and stared at Mrs. Xing. She also knew the origin of Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing held out two fingers in embarrassment.

"Twenty thousand shares?" Qin Liangyu asked in a low voice.In Qin Liangyu's heart, if she gave Mrs. Xing [-] shares, she would still think it was normal. After all, the man also died for the country, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers left behind.

"Two thousand shares." Mrs. Xing blushed and said a number that shocked the old lady.

In fact, Mrs. Xing is indeed jealous of Qin Liangyu, but there is no way, she doesn't understand why Zhu Youjian just likes this old lady.Her two thousand shares are quite a lot. As far as he knows, even Li Yan's daughter-in-law Hong Niangzi, who Zhu Youjian valued most, only took two thousand shares.And all of these are Zhu Youjian's own shareholding, which has nothing to do with the imperial court. This is purely private care.

After Mrs. Xing left, Qin Liangyu was moved again. The old man is so emotional, crying and laughing at other times.

The reformation of the land in the Shizhu area will definitely be possible.

2Chapter 16: Xinchuan Army

Yiling's residence was not large, and Zhu Youjian had more than 2000 entourages; Qin Liangyu also brought more than 200 entourages.

Deng Zhirong stared blankly at the white soldiers, and continued to be dazed.In addition to the long spears used by the white-armed soldiers, the real weapons are actually different from the spearmen equipped by the Ming army.

The so-called "white pole soldiers" are troops mainly armed with white pole spears (long spears).It uses solid white wood (no need to dye) to make a long pole, with a bladed hook on the top and a hard iron ring on the bottom. When fighting, the hook can be cut and pulled, and the ring can be used as a hammer weapon. When necessary, tens of The hooks and rings of the poles and spears can be used as a tool for climbing over mountains and walls. The cliffs can be climbed in an instant, which is very suitable for mountain warfare.

"Boy, are you a little jealous?" Zhu Youjian came behind Deng Zhirong, looked at this guy with a serious look in his eyes, and said lightly.

"Your Majesty, why are there no such soldiers in the north? It's almost winter, and they're all still wearing straw sandals." Deng Zhirong couldn't understand at all that these soldiers wearing simple straw sandals didn't make trouble and still maintained their military appearance.

Zhu Youjian followed Deng Zhirong's fingers to see that the white soldiers were indeed wearing straw sandals, but they had a layer of soft grass inside the sandals, and then wrapped them with a layer of rice husks, rags, cotton and the like.

"Then I have to ask you, a northerner, yourself!"

The Sichuan army, which is synonymous with perseverance and perseverance, is also the worst equipped army in all provinces.In that period of history that cannot be forgotten by later generations, there is nothing that the Sichuan Army does not fail to admire.

"Do you know in my heart, which army is the most capable of fighting at the moment?" Zhu Youjian looked at Deng Zhirong and said.

"Of course it's my Beijing camp." Deng Zhirong brazenly praised himself.

"You really have a thick skin. Before we crossed south, the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River was the worst in combat effectiveness. The combat effectiveness of the Chuang army was higher than that of the Ming army; the Guanning army was slightly higher than the Chuang army. Looking at it now, The combat power of these three armies has been basically equal.

The combat power of the Han Eight Banners should be a little bit higher than that of the Guanning Army, and the Eight Banners should be higher than the Han Eight Banners.And the elite of the Great West Army who offered thieves was still a little bit above the Eight Banners. If it had to be discussed in field battles, probably only the Great West Army would dare to fight the Eight Banners, but the outcome was hard to determine, and the Eight Banners might be stronger.But in mountain warfare, the Eight Banners soldiers will also be hanged and beaten by the Western Army.

At present, the Luzhong Army, which is relatively capable of fighting, can only compete with the Eight Banners in the Yimeng Mountains with respect to the terrain, and dare not fight.But compared with the white soldiers, all these armies are not as good as the white soldiers under the old general Qin.Only they dare to fight against the Eight Banners in the field.If the Eight Banners fought against them in mountain warfare, it would be courting death.It's just a pity that there are not many elite white soldiers left now, and they can't become an army. "

"So powerful?" Deng Zhirong didn't believe it, how could there be an army that dared to fight the Eight Banners head-on?

"If you don't believe me, I'll give you a mission. I'll let you go to Shizhu to see the battle between the white pole soldiers and the Daxi army."

Zhu Youjian is talking about soldiers here, not generals.There are many factors that determine the success or failure of a war, and the command of the general is also very important.In terms of soldiers' courage and combat power alone, white soldiers are really good.

"Your Majesty, you want me to lead the army alone?" Deng Zhirong was very happy. He had followed Zhu Youjian for more than a year. Except for the time when he went to Haizhou, he had no chance to lead the army alone.

"It's beautiful to think about it. You are just a few brushes. Leading soldiers alone is ruining the lives of soldiers. I sent you to Shizhu to let you practice hard under the old general Qin, and follow her to learn how to lead soldiers and how to lead soldiers." Raise an iron army.

Bring the stone pillars to your [-] Beijing camp, and you go to integrate the Baigan soldiers and some local troops in eastern Sichuan, and find a way for me to pay off the bandits and chieftains in this area within a year.In addition, recruit as many soldiers as possible under the chieftain.

If you don't have the skills to raise an army of 5 people, you can speak up now and I can send others. "

To pacify Sichuan, it is unrealistic to send troops from the east. We can only find a way from Yunnan, Guizhou and Hunan.The most likely ones, of course, are the six Xuanfu divisions of the Tujia.

"How much does the emperor give us as a military salary?" Deng Zhirong regained his spirits, in his opinion, this job is very challenging.

In fact, the difficulty is not that great. First of all, Zhu Youjian gave Deng Zhirong a family of [-] soldiers, and with Qin Liangyu's prestige, basically half of the chieftains could be directly pacified.Even if the rest wanted to resist, they were surrounded by the Ming army.The only thing to pay attention to is the attack of the Great Western Army.But Zhu Youjian knew that Qin Liangyu frightened Zhang Xianzhong, and was in charge of the advance route of the Daxi Army. Although he forced Qin Liangyu away in Chongqing, he did not dare to attack the Shizhu area.They also sent Li Dingguo, who was the most capable fighter, to defend Qin Liangyu in eastern Sichuan.

Qin Liangyu was like a pin fixed on the sea, firmly fixed on the stone pillar, relying only on a few white soldiers.It would be a huge waste if Zhu Youjian didn't take advantage of this opportunity.

Giving Qin Liangyu military power in Sichuan is to increase the military power in her hands.Giving a position in the Ministry of War is to increase her status in the entire army.The stone pillars have been exhausted, and it is not enough to rely on blood transfusions from soldiers alone, and financial transfusions are also needed.

Zhu Youjian was ordering Qin Liangyu desperately.

"All the food and salaries in Hunan will be given to you." Since He Tengjiao looked down on the Zhongzhen Camp, Zhu Youjian did not expect blood transfusions from Hunan to Hubei.

Deng Zhirong, Zhu Youjian's direct descendant, he can't neglect, and Qin Liangyu, who is not a servant, is not something He Tengjiao can offend.To put it bluntly, adding chips to Qin Liangyu is to ask He Tengjiao for money and food.

Because Zhu Youjian has no one in his hands at present, and only He Tengjiao can hold down the local rich man in Hunan for the time being.

"Do you know how to train soldiers?" Zhu Youjian changed his expression and looked at Deng Zhirong seriously.

"Be like them?" Deng Zhirong pointed to the white soldiers.

"Then I'd better change someone else, your soldiers can't be like theirs." Zhu Youjian shook his head, this kid is too stupid.

"Don't! Your majesty, you should teach me." Deng Zhirong was in a hurry, he was indeed rather dumbfounded.

"Reorganize your soldiers with the Sichuan soldiers who have retreated from Sichuan, and then form a battle formation with the white soldiers to complement each other's strengths. You are firearms soldiers, and they are pike soldiers. You attack, and they are responsible for protecting you. You put this Tell General Qin the tactics, and she will understand."

It is impossible to step from a matchlock gun to a rifle, and Daming's finances can't afford it all at once.It still needs the flintlock to transition through the middle.And if the flintlock array is not protected by the pikemen to fight the cavalry, it is courting death.

White-bared soldiers are the best pikemen and the best mountain troops.Only by adding white soldiers to the Beijing camp to practice battle formations can the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp be truly enhanced.

"Your army is called the Sichuan Army. You are still the commander of the current army. You will become a full-time member after you complete your mission."

Deng Zhirong has never been a full-time member, and this time it is still a "generation". He has a bitter face, but there is nothing he can do.

In order to reform the land and return it to the natives in the Shizhu area, not only did it need to send troops to garrison, but also sent civilian officials to manage it. This was the most troublesome thing for Zhu Youjian.Don't look at the scholars in Jiangnan who want to be officials, but no one wants to be a chieftain.When Wang Yangming went to Longchang, Guizhou, he was also exiled there.

Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, had died in battle. After much deliberation, Zhu Youjian couldn't find anyone to take his place.

Anyway, most of Sichuan has been occupied by Zhang Xianzhong, so simply send a few prefects to Shizhu and other places.Zhu Youjian could only send Guizhuang and Wu Qihang over.

......

A few days later, it was time for Zhu Youjian and Qin Liangyu to say goodbye.

It was still Longzhouping, it was still the driveway, it was still Qin Liangyu sitting in the carriage, and Zhu Youjian was leading the horse and holding the whip.

When Qin Liangyu entered Jingqin, Emperor Chongzhen wrote four poems in praise of Qin Liangyu, which were the praises of Qin Liangyu from the previous Chongzhen.The current Zhu Youjian does not have this talent, so he can only use the poems of later generations as a farewell gift.

"The misfortune of Xichuan in the Ming Dynasty, the heavenly dog ​​flew from Qinzhong, and the poison flowed into the fire. Shizhu was born with a strange woman, and the thieves fell first when they heard the wind, and they took care of Kui and Wu in the morning. Ying Nian has no generals in the army, and Nian Jiashan is only afraid that Jing Xiang will be broken. Male ears are acceptable to concubines.

Who spreads the portraits of Manzhong?I want to line up with bows and knives on the battlefield and command the high seat.A collar of brocade robes is full of blood, which sets off the gracefulness of Yunxiao.Even more Pegasus peach blossoms, unfurling the scrolls in a heroic manner and adding valor, the title of the topic is ashamed to kill Ning Nanzuo.Military country hates, Shang Meishuo. "

When Zhu Youjian sang the song "Witch Hazel" while walking, the people who saw him off all shed tears on the spot.

Standing at the end of the driveway, looking at the prime minister from a distance, Qin Liangyu showed his true qualities as a hero.The 500 advance troops led by Deng Zhirong paid a military salute to Zhu Youjian, and then followed Qin Liangyu into the depths of the mountain.
