Chapter 114 They don't work hard, who is desperate, Quan Xu is not angry with Niu Venus.In fact, he did not agree with Sun Zuwang's view.He did not think that the gentry were the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty, on the contrary, Quan Xu believed that the gentry were the gravediggers of the Ming court.If it weren't for the gentry, these moths, lying on the body of the Ming Dynasty to suck blood, the finances of the imperial court would not be about to go bankrupt, and if it weren't for them working together, the people would not be miserable.If it weren't for their use of power and corruption, the Ming army would not have completely despaired of the imperial court."
They have slaughtered, and all they have captured are hungry people, and the real thieves have plundered them.Its caress is also not a non-surrender; The flock has no food, and still plunders, and the name is not down.The battalion has been without pay for more than 30 months, that is, the loving mother cannot protect her child, and the officials and soldiers and the people are not there!
And greed and cruelty have become a trend, and the people have three golds, but they can't get one gold; As for catching a thief and breaking the homes of more than a dozen people, and redeeming a hundred gold of money, why don't the people drive them to thieves!
”See, more than 30 months in arrears!
It is equivalent to two and a half years that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the area of Shaanxi and Henan have not received military salaries!
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had a small salary, and they barely survived in order to make ends meet, if they didn't even have this point, what reason did they have to work for the Ming Dynasty?
This is why the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have become the main force of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong!
To put it bluntly, the culprits are the gentry of the Ming Dynasty and the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty.Just like during the Battle of the Daling River, the imperial court was originally ready to order Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Deng and Laierzhou, to support Zu Dashou, however, when the troops arrived in Shandong and had not yet set off, due to heavy rain and snow, the troops were not well fed.When the troops arrived at Wuqiao, there were repeated frictions with the Shandong people, and the county people closed their doors to the market.A soldier stole a chicken from the servant of Wang Xiangchun, a member of the Wang clan in Shandong, and Ding was "pierced through the arrow camp".A soldier stole a chicken, the so-called arrow parade camp, is the second most important punishment in the army after beheading, first beating with sticks, ranging from 20 to 50, and then sticking arrows in the ears, marching to the battalions.Stealing a chicken, at most in later generations, is administrative detention, such a punishment, it can be seen that the general of the Ming army wants to calm things, however, Wang Xiangchun's son is unwilling to give up, and asked Sun Yuanhua to find out the truth and deal with it severely.The soldiers of the Liaodong Army complained, and under the bewitchment of Li Jiucheng and others, they launched the Wuqiao Mutiny, and as a result, the Liaodong soldiers of Mao Wenlong's old department, who had always looked down on the imperial court, were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, fought in the east and west, and fought for more than a year, but they had no way out and surrendered to Houjin.In fact, it was the gentry who caused such a bad consequence.When a country no longer respects its soldiers, why should it expect the military to die?"
Students meet the host!"
When Niu Jinxing learned that Quan Xu was called, of course he wouldn't have anything good to say, and from Sun Zuwang's attitude, Niu Jinxing felt that he was in big trouble.Therefore, when he met Quan Xu, he was a little apprehensive."
Sit down!"
Quan Xu pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down, let's talk casually!"
I've got coffee here, and tea, what would you like to drink?
”"Coffee?"
Niu Jinxing looked puzzled.Quan Xu smiled: "It's a Westerner's thing!"
”"Peach Fairy!""
The slave is here!""
Make a pot of coffee!""
Yes!"
After a short time, Taoxian came in with a glass kettle, and the kettle was naturally brewing coffee.Of course, it's instant coffee, the kind of fifty or sixty yuan a kilogram.Momokie poured the coffee into the cup and stepped aside."
Please!"
Quan Xu picked up his coffee and took a sip.As one of the three major drinks, coffee can refresh the mind, but the disadvantages are also obvious, it is easy to gain weight, but it has the effect of protecting the liver.Niu Jinxing picked up the coffee and drank it, his eyes lit up obviously, he didn't comment on the taste of the coffee, the key was that there was sugar in it, with a sweet taste."
Mr.
Niu!""
The students are here!""
There is a sentence, I don't ask for much understanding, please Mr.
Niu to solve my doubts!"
Choosing between Sun Zuwang and Niu Jinxing, Quan Xu actually prefers Niu Jinxing, not because he later became the prime minister of Dashun Kingdom, but because he is good at drilling camps.Quan Xu carried out ideological education among the soldiers in his family, and he immediately learned it as if it were the same, and carried out the same ideological education among the students, but Sun Zuwang disdained to do it."
Boss, please!""
Zi said: A gentleman wants to be obedient to his words, but sensitive to action, what does this sentence mean?"
Niu Jinxing groaned: "This sentence tells us to speak slowly, to think twice before speaking, don't be open-mouthed, open your mouth; We must be active and agile, resolute and resolute in doing things, and do not drag our feet.Otherwise, if you say too much, you will lose, and the disaster will come out of your mouth, but you don't know why, won't you miss a big event......"
Without waiting for Niu Jinxing to finish speaking, Quan Xu interrupted: "My understanding is not like this, Min is smart, positive, ne, that is, less, or slow, this sentence, the sage is telling us, when we can do it, don't make noise, just do it." ”Niu Jinxing was dumbfounded: "This ......"
"Isn't it right?"
”Quan Xu explained it this way, in fact, there is no problem."
The gentleman doesn't move his hands!""!"
Quan Xu retorted unceremoniously: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes competed for hegemony, a hundred schools of thought contended, and a hundred flowers bloomed, how could a sage ever be polite to all the sons and hundreds of schools?"
When you dare to do it, you will definitely do it, and only if you can't beat it, then you will do it.It's like you are a dignified lifter, and you were sued by a child!
”Niu Jinxing is a smart person, and he instantly understood that his sycophant behavior fell into Quan Xu's eyes.For Sun Zuwang, a stinky and poor sour, Niu Jinxing has long been unable to see it, and he has endured it until now, what he is afraid of is not that Sun Zuwang is a big celebrity, nor is he afraid of him as a child, the key is Quan Xu.Fighting a dog also depends on the owner, Sun Zuwang was hired by Quan Xu and became Mr.
Xixi, beating Sun Zuwang is equivalent to saving Quan Xu's face.Now looking at Quan Xu's attitude, he knows what to do."
Boss, the students know what to do!""
It's good to know!"
Quan Xu picked up the coffee cup, and Niu Jinxing got up with interest: "The student is leaving!"
”The combat effectiveness of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty was quite powerful, they often staged full martial arts, and there were many people like Lu Xiangsheng who had both civil and military skills, and Sun Chengzong was also a civil and military all-rounder who could manage the army and raise the people, like Yu Qian, and Wang Mingyang, who was a master of mental learning.Quan Xu doesn't care about what Niu Jinxing does, however, his ideological education of the students is indispensable, and only in this way can the cultivated talents be used by him.Time flies, and it's been spent in a hurry.In April of the second year of Chongzhen, it began to rain without a drop of rain, but the sun seemed to be like a big fireball hanging overhead, frying the earth with scorching heat, squeezing the last bit of water in the field, and letting the crops dry in patches and almost die.The princes of the imperial court were very busy at this time, and with Huang Liji's case stabbed to the center, the civil and military officials who built a shrine for Wei Zhongxian and set up private sacrifices, as well as the remnants of Wei Zhongxian, had not yet been liquidated.At this time, the imperial historian scolded, and the people of the capital also scolded, and they all scolded so much, and everyone was so consumed.According to the original historical process, Chongzhen soon couldn't resist and began to liquidate Wei Zhongxian's remnants, but this matter did not start until August, and now it was several months in advance.When all the princes of the Dao were busy burying Wei Zhongxian and the rest of the party alive with the folds, naturally no one could take care of the peasants who were sitting on the ridges of the fields looking at the dead seedlings and wheat seedlings and wept bitterly, as well as the displaced people.These people are just a swarm of ants in their eyes, and no matter how many deaths they have, they won't be heartbroken.It's just that they never dreamed that it was this group of angry and desperate ants that would soon devour the Ming Empire.The situation in the Daimyofu was also quite serious, and 10 prefectures in one prefecture were all complaining for days, and since a light rain fell in mid-March, it has not rained for more than 20 consecutive days.Quan Xu was very deeply touched, the wheat in the field had just been jointed and wilted in the sun, as for sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes, it was almost the same.However, Quanxu's biggest advantage is that he drilled more than 1,000 wells in 150,000 acres of land, bought more than 100 pumping machines, and 200 kilometers of water pipes.Two domestic soldiers are in charge of guarding a well and a pumping machine 24 hours a day, while the pumping machine is responsible for watering.Wheat, maize, potatoes and sweet potatoes that have been fertilised have not been affected by the drought in the slightest, but are growing well.In the end, Gao Million still didn't twist his thighs with his arms, he learned from the way in the play, carrying a bundle of rattans on his back, barebody, and taking more than a dozen villagers with his family, kneeling in front of Quan Xu's door, begging for Quan Xu's forgiveness.Quan Xu knew that Gao Million was a cunning that belonged to small farmers, and it was not a grudge, but in order to teach him a lesson, their wages were less.Men can only have three buckets of grain, and adult women are only given two buckets and five liters, but they are satisfied with three meals.Everyone had no objection and joined Quanxu's castle construction army, and with the impact of the drought, there were more and more displaced people, and Quanxu began to build the castle while fighting the drought.By the end of April, the main frame of the eastern wall of the castle was finally built.Unlike the ancient city walls, the city walls of Quanxu are hollow, and the city walls are five floors.This is mainly because the design concept is different, just kidding, if Quan Xu lets hundreds of thousands of troops surround and fight, this is not in line with his style, and taking the initiative to attack is his style.The city wall is just a building about 14 meters high, the outer wall part is made of ordinary Qingcheng bricks, and then poured with cement and steel bars, the outer wall and the poured cement are about 80 centimeters thick, such a building, even with light howitzers can not be destroyed.Of course, the price is also very high, more than 60,000 tons of cement, and more than 20,000 tons of steel bars, but Quan Xu is so tired that he vomits blood.The interior of the city wall is designed as a two-bedroom and a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom structure, with a depth of 13 meters and a width of about 7 meters, covering an area of 91 square meters, and the actual space, about 80 square meters, living in a family of three, very comfortable.This is a residential area built by Quanxu for the family soldiers, once there is a real invasion of foreign enemies, the home of the family soldiers is the outer wall, and it is strange that they don't work hard.
