Chapter 383 Asking for money and not dying mentioned Huayang Society, the Industrialists gritted their teeth with hatred.Of course, the Industrialists did not have a good impression of the Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party, the Chu Party, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Party, the Qin Party, and Jinju, and like other parties, the Industrialist Party was like a gluttonous monster, and for those who did not agree with the Industrialist Party, they could strike at it."
The last time they assassinated Xiu Wubo, this time the Dutch sent a huge poison!"
Zhu Xun groaned: "These national thieves are really crazy!
”"So, I asked people to take this goods down for good interrogation, and make sure that he reveals all the inside stories of Huayang Society's transactions.When the time comes, use this as an excuse to raid their homes and make them pay for what they have done!
”Quan Xu was actually worried that the Dutch would attack Liaodong with the advantage of naval warfare, but he didn't have to worry about it at this time, for this transaction, the Dutch arrived in Liaodong with a total of more than 1,300 people and 22 large armed merchant ships.Twenty-two armed merchant ships are also a huge amount of money and, of course, cargo.There are also tens of thousands of slaves, anyway, what Liaodong development lacks is manpower, and these more than 10,000 free laborers are sent to the door, and there is no need to use them in vain.Of course, he was not worried that the Dutch would dare to attack Liaodong, if the Dutch's naval guns appeared in sight, he would let people treat the Dutch as meat shields, and he would be able to work harder, decorate more rockets, and use the seals to give the Dutch a surgical naval battle.Let the Dutch know that playing naval warfare, the Chinese are also their ancestors.The Dutch should not take the direct approach to war, if they want to go to war, they don't need to wait until now, when Quan Xu killed the Dutch thirteen armed merchant ships, they have an excuse, although there is no evidence, but in fact, which country needs evidence to fight.Iraq was crippled, almost a hundred years back, what about weapons of mass destruction?
In the final analysis, before they are absolutely sure of killing Liaonan, the Dutch will not directly engage in a direct war with Quan Xu, because Quan Xu has no direct interest relationship with them, but has the possibility of cooperation.In this case, Huayang society was pushed out by the Dutch.During the interrogation, Quan Xu was also patiently waiting.Although Quan Xu is patient, Huayang Club's patience is exhausted.Originally, when Hong Chengchou was promoted to the governor of the three sides, they were confident that Hong Chengchou could clean up the fair army, and when Hong Chengchou began to attack Huaiyuan Town, Huayang Society also had absolute confidence.It's just a pity that the Battle of Huaiyuan lasted for more than three months, and the Ningxia Army was killed more than 30,000 people, of course, these people were all peasant rebels captured by Hong Chengchou, that is, he threw more than 30,000 mouths to the Fair Army, hoping to eat the Fair Army.The idea was very good, but what he didn't expect was that the result of this would be to directly inflate the expansion of the Fair Army.The Fair Army, also known as the Sixth Brigade, is not the best brigade of the whole army, but it is definitely the brigade with the strongest ideological education, and the ideological education they have carried out can last for more than three years, and almost every soldier is a qualified ideological instructor.More than 30,000 peasant rebels were directly converted and surrendered by Chen Ying in the form of grain, and after the unique ideological education of the whole army, these peasant rebels finally understood.Although they are very industrious, they get up earlier than chickens, work more than cattle, but eat worse than pigs, and the main culprits directly cause all this are the government and the local tyrants and gentry.It was the local tyrants and gentry who encroached on the land that should have been allocated to them, occupied their fields, and if they paid taxes normally, they would have six or seven acres or four or five acres of land at home, and they would barely starve to death, but it was.Those local tyrants and gentry did not pay taxes, and passed on all the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes to their heads, which made their families who were not rich even worse.They toiled hard, but they had no food to eat and no clothing.Now, the Fair Army is raising its banner to rebel because they can't survive like them.The composition of the Fair Army is very mixed, including Shanxi people, Beizhili people, Henan people, and Shaanxi people.They are all reversed, not to mention that these people have already been thieves?
The last time it failed, many of their relatives were killed by the rebels or the official army, and now their families are all dead and fleeing, how many of them have not experienced the tragedy of their wives and families being separated?
Now that the last bit of life has been blocked, instead of sitting and waiting to die and starving to death collectively, it is better to follow this fair king and do it vigorously!
Even if they fail in the end, they will lose this rotten life at most, and there is really nothing to lose.If they win, they will regain the land they dream of, and their children and grandchildren will no longer have to endure the invasion of wild beasts and mosquitoes and the killing of officers and soldiers in the mountains and forests like them, and they can farm and weave and live a happy life again!
Yes, the King of Fairness is much fairer than the big bosses they followed, and after the actual appearance, the peasants who followed the King of Fairness all received land, ten acres per capita.Even if Hong Chengchou is now fighting with the official army, these peasants have lost their belongings, materials, and houses, and fled to Huaiyuan Town, but they are carrying the most valuable things in their arms.The new land deed issued by Luo Shiming, the king of fairness, on behalf of the fair country, with the big red seal on it, gave them great confidence, and these peasant rebels who took refuge also sent representatives to get the treatment of fair citizens.Luo Shiming waved his hand: "Agree!"
”The land south of Huaiyuan Town, all the way to the edge of the Great Wall of Ningxia Prefecture, has been almost divided, and the only way for them to want land is to develop along the Yellow River to the north of Ordos.The territory occupied by the Ordos Department is very large, and they naturally will not agree to divide a part, but the allied army under the command of Lin Dan Khan has more than 3,000 cavalry, plus the equipment of the Fair Army, and the newly formed Sixth Brigade Supplementary Regiment, a total of more than 5,000 people, and even without using the regular army of the Fair Army, the Fair Army occupies the area south of the Wuhai Sea.At the same time, Hong Chengchou was embarrassed to find that the fair army was getting weaker and weaker, deliberately paralyzing the Ningxia army, in early August, Xu Biao, the general of the horse army under the command of the fair king, led dozens of henchmen to escape from Huaiyuan Town and take refuge under Hong Chengchou's command due to the uneven distribution of spoils.If Xu Biao's surrender leads a large army, Hong Chengchou will still be wary of it, but the problem is that there are less than 50 people around Xu Biao, and in Hong Chengchou's opinion, even if Xu Biao surrenders by fraud, it will not play a role?
Xu Biao seems to have some family background, after surrendering Hong Chengchou, he was very active, inviting this general to dinner today, and inviting that general to drink tomorrow, the purpose is very straightforward, that is, he wants to ask for an official.Once Xu Biao got drunk, he scolded the Fair King for not being a thing, and he himself worked hard to pull up a strong horse army for the Fair Five, and as a result, the Fair King unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, crossed the river and demolished the bridge.Hong Chengchou thought that Xu Biao had some ulterior secrets at first, but a few days later, Hong Chengchou understood that Xu Biao was a Ma Daha, maybe brave and brave, but there was no city government, he couldn't hide things in his heart, and he said everything.Hong Chengchou left Xu Biao with an evaluation of ambition and talent.Guan Yu is still careless about Jingzhou, let alone Hong Chengchou?
On the night of August 19 in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Xu Biao, as usual, invited the generals of the Ningxia Army to drink, although He Huchen, the general soldier of Ningxia, did not participate, but a large number of generals such as six generals, 11 guerrillas, and 15 garrisons under He Huchen attended the banquet.Xu Biao also spent a lot of money, not only from a theater troupe in Ningxia Mansion to help the fun, but also bought a large amount of wine and meat, spending at least three hundred taels of silver.The generals were drunk.As a result, the 36th and 37th regiments of the Fair Army, as well as the 7th Cavalry Regiment, the newly formed 8th, 40th, and 41st Regiments, supplemented by the 9th and 10th Regiments, plus more than 4,000 men and horses of the Mongol Allied Army, totaled nearly 10,000 horses, and raided the Ningxia Army barracks.The Ningxia army was not defenseless, but the key was that there was a problem with the command system, and as a result, there was a night of chaotic fighting.The Ningxia army was defeated, more than 4,000 people were killed, and the rest were pursued to the defense line of the Great Wall.At that time, Hong Chengchou was not in the front-line barracks, but in Ningxia Mansion, when Hong Chengchou received the news, He Huchen exposed his upper body and knelt in front of the door to plead guilty.This was the Sixth Brigade of Chen Ying, Cui Chengyou, Luo Shiming, and others who had planned for nearly a month to launch the autumn offensive, and its strategic goal was to provide food for Huaiyuan Town.A total of more than 250,000 acres of fertile land reclaimed in Huaiyuan Town were harvested by the Ningxia Army and part of Huohuo, and after overnight harvesting, until the beginning of September, the autumn harvest was basically over.The fair army has obtained a bumper harvest, more than 200,000 acres of fertile land, and nearly 800,000 stone of grain, of course, this is only wet weight, not net weight.Hong Chengchou organized the army to attack the Fair Army again, in fact, there was no way, and now the Fair Army had food and a new army of more than 30,000 people, that is to say, it would be more difficult to attack Huaiyuan Town again.At this time, part of Huaiyuan Town retreated north, occupying Ordos and the Mongolian Plateau, and even the Ordos Department also defected to the Fair Army.As we all know, there are quite a few saltwater lakes in the Mongolian steppes and the sand sea in the northwest, and the scorching sun has evaporated the water of the lakes, leaving only salt.But herders still need to exchange cattle and sheep for a large amount of salt with the Central Plains, why?
Because the salt in most salt lakes is very bitter and even poisonous, you will be unlucky if you eat that kind of salt.The herdsmen on the grassland have not mastered the technology of boiling salt to enhance the taste, and even if they do, there is no way to develop a decent salt industry.Second, there is also a shortage of fuel.Cooking salt requires firewood, and the fire can't be stopped all day long, and in addition to grass or grass on the prairie, where can you find so much firewood?
If you really want to boil salt, you can only burn hay and cow dung, the former is the food for cattle and sheep, and the latter is an indispensable fuel for herdsmen in their daily life.
