Chapter 384 The Fair Army is different from the Mongol tribes, first of all, they have advanced technology, especially in coal development, briquette furnaces, and briquette production.Of course, the fair army also has mature salt-making technology, as for boiling salt purification, analysis and purification, they have this technology, and in the process of boiling salt, due to the corrosion of salt on the iron pot, the loss of the iron pot is very large.It's not as simple as one plus one equals two, the original salt of the Fair Army was only seized from Fan Sanba's mansion, and the quantity was limited, but now it's okay.In other words, the Fair Army has a huge source of wealth, and they are not like the herdsmen living on the Mongolian plateau, who can only watch the salt lakes and stare dryly.This means that although they are at the border, they will definitely not be short of money, they can exchange salt for excellent war horses from the Mongols, and recruit a large number of hard-working men and soldiers from Shaanxi, Ningxia and other places, even if Hong Chengchou can organize a large army to encircle and suppress the fair army again, but the center has no money and food to support the trilateral army.Even if Hong Chengchou has no money and food, he can't command the trilateral army, on the contrary, as time goes by, the business of the fair army will get bigger and bigger, 800,000 stone grain, enough for the fair army to feed 10 to 200,000 people.What's more, due to the bumper harvest in the autumn, the more than 30,000 people who first joined the Fair Army basically paid off the loans they borrowed from Chen Kee Bank through a year's income, that is, their current farm tools, houses, fields, seeds, and surplus grain at home are their own property.After the autumn, Huaiyuan Town immediately set off a wave of joining the army, the common people are not stupid, the imperial army defeated the fair king, their fields, money and everything is gone.Compared with the imperial court, fairness is simply Guanyin Bodhisattva, the tax collected is only three percent, and one hundred buckets of grain are collected, and the king of fairness only collects three buckets.Of course, they don't know that in fact, Chen Ji's income is as much as 20%, but in the hearts of the people, Chen Ji is also a conscientious bank, so he will have 20% interest, good people!
With the increase in the number of people joining the army, the peasants, who were mainly volunteers, were young and strong, and after screening, they were left young and strong, and the old and weak were dismissed.The 6th Brigade of the Whole Family Army expanded into eight infantry regiments, three cavalry regiments, an artillery regiment, and a guard regiment, a total of 13 regiments, plus the baggage troops directly under it, and the number of men and horses exceeded 10,000.Lin Dan Khan, who had not shown up for a long time, finally appeared, and he decided to form a bloody alliance with the King of Fairness in Wuhai to form the Mongolian Anti-Huang Alliance and call on the Mongols to fight back against Huang Taiji.Under such circumstances, Huayang Club couldn't sit still.Lin Dan Khan was an old rival of Huang Taiji, and after the rise of Nurhachi, the Later Jin Dynasty expanded sharply to the Mongolian steppe, and a fierce conflict broke out with Lin Dan Khan, who claimed to be the co-master of the steppe.In the face of the aggressive Houjin, Lin Dan Khan very cleverly chose Lianming to resist Jin, while befriending the Ming Dynasty and getting food and weapons from the Ming Dynasty, while constantly attacking the Houjin and the Mongolian tribes of the pro-Houjin, which gave Nurhachi a headache.It's just that Genghis Khan, who calls himself himself, has too loose skills in fighting, and he is defeated again and again in the face of Houjin, and he continues to transfuse blood to Houjin.Now that Houjin is completely unconfident in the face of Quanxu, and his morale is low, Huayang Society decided to let Houjin avoid Quanxu's edge, and make a detour to the west to attack the Hetao.In this way, not only can the Mongolian tribes see a still powerful Houjin, but also can open up the business route between Huayang Society and Houjin.The Fair Army is strong enough, and if they are allowed to unite with the Khalkha Ministry, the consequences will be unimaginable.In order to win this battle in Houjin, Huayang Society also invested as much as 300,000 taels of silver, whether it is a central minister or a local official, as long as they can speak in front of Chongzhen, don't let it go, try to win them over, let them slander, secretly exert force, in short, let them encourage Chongzhen to order Hong Chengchou to encircle and suppress the King of Justice.also in order to give eye medicine to Man Gui, Mao Wenlong and others, preparing to create turmoil.In the face of the conspiracy of the Huayang Society, due to the timeliness, Quan Xu learned the news very late, that is to say, the Huayang Society has already taken action.In early September, Cao Huachun inspected on behalf of the sky and comforted Liaodong.After completing the formula procedure, Cao Huachun and Quan Xu were in the warm pavilion of Xiu Wubo's mansion, Cao Huachun looked at Quan Xu with some dissatisfaction and said: "Xiu Wubo, at this season, why did you provoke the Dutch?"
”Quan Xu said disapprerovingly: "They sent someone to send me poison, you said I endured this breath?"
”"Westerners are strong and sharp, and they are not easy to deal with!"
Cao Huachun said: "I heard that the Dutch have gathered more than a dozen warships and more than thirty armed merchant ships to prepare to attack Liaodong, what should I do?"
”"Don't worry, they don't dare to fight!"
Quan Xu smiled faintly: "As long as they dare to come, I am absolutely sure to keep them and let them be the son-in-law of the Sea Dragon King!"
”"It's just that since then, it's been a big trouble!"
Cao Huachun said: "Those people in Huayang Club are really grandsons!"
”Then, Cao Huachun planned the Huayang Society to support Jiannu's roundabout offensive strategy, and prepared to unite the trilateral governors to contain the Fair Army, so that Jiannu and the Eastern Mongolian army could join forces to attack the Khalkha Department.With Lin Dan Khan's strength, he is far from being Jiannu's opponent.Hearing this, Quan Xu was slightly stunned.Cao Huachun didn't know, but he knew very well that the alliance between King Fair and the Khalkha Ministry was formally established as early as November of the third year of Chongzhen, but it was not announced to the public.The current Khalkha Ministry has almost changed its equipment under the strengthening of the Fair Army, and it is difficult to say whether it can win the battle in the face of Houjin again, and it will definitely not collapse at the touch of a touch as before.Quan Xu instantly looked like Chen Yingchen Fat Man like Maitreya Buddha, this guy, as the brain of the Sixth Brigade, really impressed Quan Xu.In the face of Hong Chengchou, he thought that the Sixth Brigade would definitely suffer a big loss, although Hong Chengchou's character was unbearable, he was definitely a soldier, without him the Manchu Qing wanted to enter the Central Plains, and wanted to capture Nanming, in fact, it was very difficult.He made full use of the internal contradictions of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, divided and co-opted, and broke them one by one, so that the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty fell like an avalanche.Such a character, in the case of having an absolute advantage, Quan Xu does not have absolute self-confidence, and can rely on the strength of the Sixth Brigade to defeat the other party.Of course, what Quan Xu didn't know was that Chen Ying actually didn't really defeat Hong Chengchou, and the defeat of the Ningxia army was bought by Chen Ying with money, 100,000 stone of grain and 50,000 taels of silver, to buy the field cultivated by Huaiyuan Town, and get more than 800,000 stone of grain.Hong Chengchou was reluctant to become a pawn of the Huayang Society, in order to get rid of the fate of the chess piece, he knew that the Huayang Society could support him to become the governor of the three sides, and he could also pull him down.As the tide turned, the imperial court's control over the local area became weaker and weaker, and if he did not want to follow in Yang He's footsteps, he must have a loyal and well-equipped descendant.However, such a descendant needs a lot of money and food, and it is impossible for the court to give it to him, Huayang Society just wants him to do things, and it is impossible to give him money and food, so at the most critical moment, Chen Ying appeared.After half a month of secret consultations with Hong Chengchou, he finally reached an agreement, in fact, Hong Chengchou was also worried that the fair army would break the jar and burn Huaiyuan's fertile land with a fire, and no one on either side would get it.100,000 stone of grain, 50,000 taels of silver, plus 3,000 armor and 5,000 broken sabers, so that Hong Chengchou cooperated with the Fair Army to perform a big show in Huaiyuan.Both sides take what they need, and they are all happy.No matter what this detail is, anyway, in Quan Xu's heart, Chen Ying, the fat man, is preparing to be a yin person, and he is using Lin Dan Khan to fish.However, pushing the boat down the river, Quan Xu thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid it's a big trouble!"
I remember this Lin Dan Khan fought against Jiannu and never won!
”"Who's to say it isn't!"
Cao Huachun smiled bitterly: "It's completely a persimmon that is easy to pinch, even the guards who are unbearable in the Ming Dynasty are not as good, what should I do now?"
”"The only way, then it can only be entrusted to General Man Guiman!"
Quan Xu came to the front of the screen, he stretched out his hand to pull the screen, this is a huge map, Quan Xu pointed to the map and said: "Lin Dan Khan is now in the northwest, if Jiannu wants to attack Lin Dan Khan from the Mongolian Plateau, it is bound to pass through Datong, if the general of Datong can bring a light cavalry, the number does not need to be too much, eight or nine thousand cavalry is enough, then you can contain a part of the Jiannu cavalry, so that Huang Taiji has no intention of fighting, if General Manchu sees the fighter, you can decide to fight without fighting!"
”Cao Huachun groaned: "The whole marshal is to the point, but General Man's ......"
In the final analysis, they are all poor.Quan Xu muttered: "This year, the imperial court wants to provide the Liaodong Army with 190,000 stone military rations and 200,000 taels of military expenses, and this money and grain can be transferred to the Datong Army. ”190,000 stone is only nominal grain, and with old grain, miscellaneous grains, sawdust, etc., the actual amount is only about 120,000 stone, as for the other 60,000 stone, of course, it is above board.The same is true for 200,000 taels of silver, at most 1340,000 taels, and 670,000 taels I don't know where they went.Quan Xu did not pursue it, and it was useless to pursue it.Cao Huachun was very pleased with Quan Xu's generosity, after all, without money and food, Man Gui did not have the strength to move.At this moment, Cao Huachun said inadvertently: "Recently, the court has impeached Wang Huazhen, and I want to ask for the guilt, but I am afraid that Wang Huazhen is finished!"
”Although Wang Huazhen took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, he finally belonged to the eunuch party, and now there is no longer a voice to ask the eunuch party, because Cao Huachun showed an extremely tough posture in the process of cleaning up the manpower of the Huayang Club in the inner palace, and he himself is a big mountain.At this time, the new eunuch forces surrounding Cao Huachun had also taken shape.Quan Xu didn't care at first, but after Cao Huachun complained for a while, Quan Xu's eyes widened: "Oops!
”"What's wrong?""
Mao Wenlong is handsome!"
