During his tenure as the governor of Liaodong, Sun Chengzong took advantage of the characteristics of Jiannu who was good at attacking wild and short fortifications, and the protection of castles and soldiers, he expanded the Ming army's defense area step by step.However, whether it is to build a city or a military platform, this requires money, and the increase in military spending of the Apocalypse Dynasty has also become Sun Chengzong's first original sin, and some people even call Sun Chengzong the first sinner of the Ming Dynasty.Sun Chengzong's expansion of the army is indeed a matter, from 50,000 or 60,000 horses to 140,000, and he also knows that Liaodong has become a huge heavy burden for the Ming Dynasty, so he is also trying to save himself.Sun Chengzong wrote to the imperial court: "The soldiers transferred from other military towns are conducive to quick battles, and the soldiers of this town are conducive to long-term defense.At present, there are officers and soldiers from Qin, Jin, Sichuan, Liang, Yan, and Zhao gathered inside and outside Shanhaiguan, and the cost is huge, and they will be trapped in the world for a long time.Now if you want to advance, it is insufficient, and the rules will change for a long time, so the soldiers must be requisitioned among the local Liao people, so with the convenience of the Liao people, they are placed between the two guards and three twenty-seven forts to settle the soil. ”This is the so-called "Liao people to guard the Liao land and raise the Liao people." ”Unlike Yuan Chonghuan's mouth cannon, Sun Chengzong is a doer."
Its officers and soldiers have more than 5,000 hectares of tuntian, 150,000 yuan of guantun silver, 34,000 yuan of money and silver, and 180,000 yuan of silver from the provincial salary."
(See Chongzhen Long Edition, vol. 13.)His Liao people's policy of guarding the Liao people and raising the Liao people actually achieved initial results.5,000 dumps of land are not public tilts, but tilts, both one dump is 100 acres, and 500,000 acres.The land of Liaodong is not barren, even if it is only harvested once a year, calculated according to the yield of one stone per mu, the annual harvest is 500,000 stones, in fact, Sun Chengzong is not suitable for the huge military expenditure on his back, according to the Ming Dynasty food and goods records, Liaodong: the main army, more than 279,000 stones of grain, more than 400 taels of barren field grain, more than 159,000 taels of silver for the people's movement, more than 39,000 taels of silver for two Huai and Shandong salt, and more than 307,000 taels of silver for the year of Beijing transportation; Guest soldiers, the annual silver of Beijing is more than 102,000 taels.Even if the grain is calculated to two taels of silver per stone, the military salary expenditure of the Liaodong soldiers is still less than one million taels of silver, far less than the four million taels that Yuan Chonghuan carried when he left the customs.As the so-called traitors openly built temples, Zhongxian was covered with dirty water, and the first "sinner" of the Ming Dynasty at this time still spared no effort to serve as the pasteur of the Ming Dynasty, trying his best to save the Daimyo, a wrecked ship that was about to sink.When Yuan Chonghuan was defeated in Huangxian County, Shandong Province and suffered heavy losses, Emperor Chongzhen sent more than 30 imperial doctors to Yuan Chonghuan, and carried more than 20 vehicles of valuable medicinal materials to Dengzhou to treat Yuan Chonghuan's injuries.Moreover, there is not a word about dealing with Yuan Chonghuan's affairs.At the same time, he remembered in advance Sun Chengzong Sun Ge Lao, who was used by the former official of the Imperial Edict, heard the order at night, and went to the court, but he had not yet entered Beijing, but he was blocked by Yuan Keli in Fengtai, and offered the idea of preparing to build a martial arts hall and serving as an officer.The Ming Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, like the Han and Tang dynasties, out of the general, into the phase of the civil and military all-rounder, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, is also a handful.If we can balance the struggle between civil and military and solve the problem of the army's combat effectiveness, this is definitely a great act of kindness.Sun Chengzong soon wrote down the recital of "Please Prepare for the Establishment of Baoding Martial Arts Hall" in the wine shop, and prepared to report to Emperor Chongzhen when he entered the palace.At the same time, Sun Chengzong also remembered Yuan Keli's protégé Quan Xu.Teachers and students in the Ming Dynasty were actually more of an alliance of interests.Although Quan Xu did not enroll, he was already on the preliminary list of Gongsheng.Yuan Keli wants to accept Quan Xu as a student, so he will naturally investigate him, of course, according to Chen Ying's relay, as well as the comparison of the whole clan's genealogy, he will prepare materials and submit them to Henan Xuezheng.Quan Xu can be the identity of Engong, after all, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Quan family was full of loyal martyrs, and the descendants of the martyrs who went to the shipwreck with the Zhao official family.As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials.In fact, as long as there are people above, the road will go smoother than ordinary people.Yuan Keli is willing to accept Quan Xu as a student, mainly because Quan Xu is useful to him, and if it is really useless, he will not take care of Quan Xu.What's more, Quan Xu sent supplies to the Dongjiang Army, indirectly helped Yuan Keli's gang, and was also the key person who encouraged Yuan Keli's resurrection.This can be regarded as a return for the favor.By the time Yuan Keli went to Denglai to take office, his letter had already been sent to the Daimyo's mansion.Quan Xu went to Lu Xiangsheng's mansion and met Lu Xiangsheng.Lu Xiangsheng's impression of Quan Xu has always been good, especially because of the drought in Chongzhen's second year, in fact, the Daimyo's Mansion has not been raining, but the rain is still too little, and the crops still need irrigation.The pressurized water well produced by the Quan's compound helped Lu Xiangsheng a lot.The production cost of this kind of thing is not high, it is a cylinder and a piston, and the overall weight is only seven or eight catties.Although the profit is not high, it benefits thousands of households.The key is that ordinary people can't afford to pay for three taels of silver.However, with the operation of the bank, the people of the daimyo mansion could use their own houses or fields as pledge to borrow money from the Quanshi Bank to purchase pressurized water wells.The bank has a total of more than 100,000 taels of silver loans, of which a little more than one-third are loans from ordinary people to buy water presses.The advantages of pressurized water wells are very obvious, although the amount of water produced is not very large, but the effort consumed is not much, even if it is a child, it can easily press water, at least it is more convenient than carrying water."
What are you up to these days?"
Quan Xu looked at Lu Xiangsheng who had lost some weight recently: "I went to Shandong, and I was going to find Westerners to buy water pumps!"
”"Water pump?""
It's a pumping machine, which is more convenient and efficient than our water trucks and pressurized water wells!"
Quan Xu sighed and said: "Due to the forbidden sea, there are no Westerner ships coming over in Dengzhou, unfortunately, Dengzhou suffered a military disaster, and I was delayed in Dengzhou City for some days, and I just came back!"
”Lu Xiangsheng did not doubt it, with the character of a Ming official who reported good news but not bad news, all he reported to the court was good news, but Yuan Chonghuan's basket was too big.Lu Xiangsheng also saw the news of the Shandong rebellion from the Di newspaper."
It's good to come back, you should take care of some chores in the future, concentrate on reading books, and the imperial examination is the right way!"
Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "This mansion can be regarded as reading countless people, but I haven't seen anyone in the Daimyo Mansion who is more knowledgeable than you Dongsheng, Quan Xu shook his head and smiled, and said: "Lord Lu, I know how many taels of weight my bones are, and such a small opportunity is really not worth fighting." ”"Nonsense!"
Lu Xiangsheng said with a straight face: "A gentleman is in the world, when he is governed, when he is in chaos, he is hidden, when he is Shengming today, you are young, is it just the idea of abandoning the world and hating the world?"
Dongsheng, self-cultivation and family, don't put the cart before the horse!
”In fact, Lu Xiangsheng, like many Ming people, did not see through the weak nature of the Ming Dynasty at all.Of course, maybe it's not that you can't see through it, but you don't want to believe it.Quan Xu is just the opposite, if he encounters the Taiping rule, then he can be a small landlord with peace of mind, even if it is a change of dynasty like the Sui and Tang dynasties, he will not mix.It's a pity that now in this apocalyptic catastrophe, he has no way to stay out of it.Quan Xu was very smart and did not refute: "I will definitely study well!"
”"Here are the notes I wrote before, as well as the experience of Xi Wen, maybe it will be of some use to you!"
Lu Xiangsheng asked the old servant to bring over a large box, which was densely packed with various articles and reading notes, and it was roughly estimated that there were hundreds of thousands of words.If it's a novel of hundreds of thousands of words, as long as it's wonderful, Quan Xu doesn't mind reading it, but he really doesn't like this kind of bitter and astringent thing.However, he also understood that Lu Xiangsheng wanted him to go to school, but he became a fellow practitioner.As the honor of the government, as long as Quan Xu can pass the county examination and the college examination, the name of teachers and students will not be able to escape.Lu Xiangsheng doesn't say that he likes to promote juniors, but the key is that a rich and good student like Quan Xu, which teacher doesn't want it?"
Thank you, Lord Lu!""
Don't forget the original intention, you have to always!""
Thank you, Lord Lu, for your teachings!""
Dongsheng!""
Lord Lu, please command!""
You are in Shandong, have you ever seen rebels?""
This ......
Not at all!
”Quan Xu smiled bitterly: "If I see it, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back, I heard that the rebels are picking on landlords or rich families like me!"
”Lu Xiangsheng asked again: "Inspector Yuan's injury?"
”"Lord Lu, should I know about this, a flat-headed common man?"
…… Quan Xu left on Lu Xiangsheng's mansion, he sat in the carriage, and vaguely felt that something was not right.In Old Wolf's novel, he portrayed an organization with Liaodong Jiangmen as an interest group.It seems that there is some logic to all this.But the problem is that Yuan Chonghuan can't be a behind-the-scenes boss, he is just a pawn, not even a key figure, he was dismissed by Emperor Chongzhen in December of the second year of Chongzhen.The meaning of these four words is to remove the post first, and then look at the work.However, Qing Fan made up a story, saying that Huang Taiji designed to get rid of my "confidant" Yuan Chonghuan in the Qing Dynasty.The emperor Taiji decided to play a trick.He sent someone to find the two eunuchs who had been caught a few days ago, and arranged for them to be placed in a specific camp and sent someone to guard them.In the evening, in the dead of night, in the tent next to the eunuch, two people lived in the tent, and they told a secret in a voice that could be heard by a human being, at least the eunuch could hear.The content of the secret is that Yuan Chonghuan has reached a secret agreement with Huang Taiji, and in a few days, Huang Taiji will attack Beijing and will be able to enter the city directly.The two eunuchs lived up to expectations and heard the secret, and the next day, Huang Taiji sent someone to send them back.After they went back, they found the relevant departments and told them about it, Chongzhen was furious, decided that Yuan Chonghuan was a traitor, and finally dealt with him.The story is over.It's a pretty clever and pretty story.Friends who have read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will be very familiar with this, this is simply a copy of Jiang Gan's stolen book.The point is, anyone with a little brain won't believe it.
