Ming dynasty grand dude

Eunuch Qian was already getting impatient with waiting, so he sent all those who were serving sentences in Yizhou to work in northern Guangdong.

And these young men in northern Guangdong were split up and sent to Yizhou to serve their sentences.

This is also Zhang Xiaogong's idea. If this group of people gather together for a long time, it will be troublesome if something happens.

Those people in Yizhou have stayed in Yizhou for too long, and it's time to change places.

By the way, after this group of people from northern Guangdong were sent to Yizhou, they couldn't make trouble without their foundation.

Those censors and tribute students in Jinling were about to cry when they got on the boat, thinking they had seen the dawn.

However, they were transported to northern Guangdong like piglets, and what they faced was to continue to work...

The memorial has been sent up, and now it is waiting for the approval of Emperor Hongzhi and the cabinet.

It is still necessary to wait for Emperor Hongzhi and the military department to send a part of the National Defense Forces to take over the defense of northern Guangdong and serve as grassroots officers.

Seeing these bandits in a mess, Mr. Zhang was very troubled, except for the artillery battalion and a battalion of the National Defense Forces to stay behind.

All the rest were dismantled, and then the big and small leaders of the original bandits and rogues were separated and practiced first.

The generals and schools of those guards were basically swept away, and a large number of uniforms, armor, ordnance of the original guards...etc. were seized.

So this group of people was ordered to put on these first, and then practiced separately.

There is no objection to training these former bandits and rogues, after all, they have witnessed the National Defense Forces fighting with their own eyes.

That formation... tsk tsk tsk, all kinds of sea-captured documents and bandits were wiped out immediately.

The buddies are all eating the rice bowl of licking blood with the knife head, especially these bandits and rogues.

They knew better than anyone else that the more skill they had in fighting, the more chances of survival they would have.

Those rogue bandits who don't want to live the life of licking blood again wait for the state capital to collect them after they get the indictment papers.

After checking and confiscating so many acres, they will be assigned to cultivate according to Dingkou.

The families of those who were killed or disabled in battle also got the money for burning and burying and dismissing them, although it was only ten taels, not much for a stone of rice.

But it is better than nothing at all, human life is so worthless these days.

They were originally bandits and rogues. To be honest, it would be good if someone sent two silver coins to the cottage after they died.

Those who left voluntarily were given severance pay at the rate of three taels or two buckets of brown rice per person.

The prefecture and county will take the people back to resettle, and the household department will inspect and supervise from the side, and the Dali Temple will inspect from time to time.

In order to make their families feel better, Grandpa Zhang also asked the chief envoy to convene a meeting in the following prefectures and counties.

Those who died in battle and resettled back to their hometowns were all sent back by the county with a plaque of "righteous men" by beating gongs and drums.

Then let the "envoys" take care of them and preach more, and confirm their status as righteous men.

At any rate, he was officially recognized as a murderer, and he was no longer a bandit.

All the prefectures and counties have received a lot of benefits, and they have achieved political achievements and increased income.

My brain twitched, so I had to confront the chief envoy on this matter.

Hurry up and agree to come down, and I will definitely arrange it after I go back.

Besides, these people have all seen blood.

If the arrangement is not good, if they start to make trouble again, it will be me who is unlucky.

The "Northern Guangdong Times" published a current commentary here, exposing the evil deeds of those gentry and merchants.

On the other hand, it is also to assist in the arrangement, and to mention a lot of things like "the prodigal son will not be exchanged for money".

Also let those "righteous men" need to be grateful for the kindness of the chief envoy, the prefecture and the county, and be a good person so that they will not commit crimes again.

"Young master! Let us go to suppress the bandits! We really don't know how to read and write!!"

Brothers Xu Yueli and Hammer Li are about to cry, and you will never frown if you ask them to kill someone.

But if you make them both literate, it will really kill you.

For all these, he has proved that he is dedicated to the country and wants to make contributions to the man, Mr. Zhang Xiaogong naturally doesn't mind meeting them.

"You just want to be a soldier for the rest of your life?! You just want to stay here in northern Guangdong for the rest of your life?!"

The military uniform worn by Zhang Xiaogong is not only heroic but also handsome as a man, but seeing his handsome face flushed with anger.

"You don't want to kill the enemy and win honors?! Don't you want to study in the 'Imperial Royal Military Academy' in the capital as a student of the emperor?!"

"Don't you want to command thousands of troops in the future and fight for the empire's frontiers to become famous through the ages?!"

It's not just the brothers from the Xu family who are talking about it.

It was the former bandits, water bandits and pirate leaders who were present, their cheeks flushed red.

Who doesn't want it, who the hell doesn't want it, that's a fool and idiot!

"You have just been exonerated, but it is not so easy to become a member of the National Defense Forces and wear my military uniform!"

Young Master Zhang put his hands behind his back and watched them speak word by word.

"Studying diligently at this time is to prepare you for being a general and a commander in the future!!"

"Practicing hard now is to prepare for the fierce battle you are about to face and survive!!"

"You are still resentful?! You are still lazy?! Are you taking your own life to kill?!"

All the Xishan mandrills, Xijiang water ghosts, and Sanjiang kings who scolded him below dared not say anything.

"If that's the case, why don't I send you 20 taels of silver to give you a plaque of 'Northern Guangdong Righteous Man' so that you can go back to your hometown and have fun!"

The more Mr. Zhang scolded, the angrier he became, "If you don't know how to read and write, it's hard for you to be responsible for your merits! Don't you understand?!"

"Without hard training, Tuer waits to enter the battlefield, but Tuer waits to die! Don't you know this?!"

Even though they were being scolded by Mr. Zhang, none of the former leaders of the green forest below was grateful.

Are people scolding you indiscriminately? !This is for your own good!

Thinking about his identity, the young grandson of the British public family, the most valued "unicorn in the world" by His Majesty's cabinet.

The founder of the Imperial Imperial Military Academy, the chief teacher of both civil and military scholars from the north and the south, and the imperial military jinshi!

People not only have a noble status but also behave like a person, which is beyond criticism.

The earth dragon in the Qin Dynasty turned over and the victims were everywhere, and the mourners were everywhere. Who brought people back to the capital for resettlement? !

On the way, the Tatars attacked, and who would fight in front of the battle without taking a step back? !

It's this young master Zhang, Jade Chihu! !

In the National Defense Army, there are quite a few soldiers who came from Qin.

They watched step by step how Young Master Zhang helped them, settled them down, and found work for them.

Now, as the instructors of these green forest leaders in northern Guangdong, they naturally told these green forest people about this matter.

got~!What else do I have to say about the things they do and their abilities.

It is rare to see such a character in thousands of years. Is it hurting me to let myself study hard and practice hard now? !

Many of them lowered their heads and their eyes were a little red, and speaking of their identities, there were not many who sympathized with them.

And when did someone give them such heartbroken instructions, telling them to study hard and practice hard for their future? !

He also told them that if they were lazy, it would be better to give them money and let them go back to their hometowns instead of sending them to the battlefield to die.

Don't look at these green forest guys who seem rough and bold, but they are actually more delicate than anyone else.

If it was a really rough and stupid big guy, he wouldn't know how many times his head was touched by people.

At the same time, they are also very sensitive. Whoever treats themselves falsely and who treats each other sincerely has a steelyard in their hearts.

The words that Zhang Xiaogong said to them were definitely heartfelt and heartfelt words.

"You may also know that I almost died in the battle with the Tatars outside Jinyang City..."

Young Master Zhang looked at them, and after a moment of silence, he slowly loosened his brows.

"In this battle, dozens of old soldiers who have followed my Zhang family for generations all died on the battlefield!"

"I... carried them back..."

When this matter was mentioned, Grandpa Zhang felt very uncomfortable.

Many of those laughing and out-of-shape old guys didn't even leave their last words.

When cleaning the battlefield, some of the bones were even disfigured by horseshoes...

"Northern Guangdong is just suppressing bandits, it has not yet reached the most brutal time..."

Young Master Zhang looked at them fixedly, and said word by word.

"Although I know that if I go to the battlefield, I will inevitably face casualties..."

"But... a certain one still hopes that a few more of you can survive and come back..."

Speaking of this, Young Master Zhang seems to be a little bit less interested.

But he waved his hand and sighed, "If you fail the assessment, you should not join the army..."

"I would rather you hate me than you go to die."

The bandit leaders are being trained by Xu Tai, Zhou Zijiang and others.

The second and third heads and small bosses below are the second lieutenants and sergeants who are training.

The bandits were handed over to the low-ranking sergeants of the ordinary National Defense Forces for training, and everything was well organized.

In addition to the construction of mines and docks, the first thing most prisoners are dragged to do is to clean up the river.

Why did Mr. Zhang Xiaogong choose Zhongyi Township as the location of the foundry branch? !

In addition to the large number of casting and smelting craftsmen that existed there, there is another very important reason-water transportation.

Zhang Xiaogong, who is familiar with "History of the Ming Dynasty", knows very well that Zhongyi Township was one of "four towns in the world" and "four gatherings in the world" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties!

And one of the most important reasons why Zhongyi Township has become a world gathering for a long time is his water transportation!

When the rest of the four towns in the world and the four gatherings in the world all come to an end in the era, and are even gradually forgotten.

Zhongyi Township has quietly increased its gdp to nearly one trillion yuan!

Although the population is slightly lower, Guancheng, a rising star, is more than [-] billion.

In the ancient town of Zhongyi Township, there is an ancient ferry on the Fenjiang River.

During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, because of this ancient ferry, the entire Zhongyi Township once had more than [-] kinds of handicraft industries and [-] amateur craftsmen.

This place not only carries the trade from south to north, but also produces thousands of different kinds of commodities by itself!

And the waterway... can transport various raw materials and finished products in large quantities and conveniently!

Going south, you can reach Yangcheng and transfer to the overseas terminal for Sinotrans.

If you go north, you can go straight to the west of Guangxi!

Chapter 4 The Governor-General of the Great Development of North Guangdong, to appease the common people

Another reason Zhang Xiaogong wants to straighten the river is for the heavy artillery that is about to be cast.

He wanted to use water transportation for the artillery in Jinmen last time, but the time was too hasty.

Emperor Hongzhi urgently wanted to install the artillery on the fort, but who would dare to transport a [-]-jin heavy artillery on a ship? !

In the end, we had no choice but to take the safest land transportation, which cost a lot.

Later, the time became less pressing, and the master craftsmen of the Foundry Department and Junshu Department cooperated to build a huge load-bearing transport ship.

Of course, this is not so much called a transport ship as a "giant cowhide raft".

Crossing rivers with skins as rafts has happened in ancient times.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records that when the captain Hu Qiang led the soldiers across the Yellow River in Guide, Qinghai, he "sewed leather bags into boats".
