Chapter 782 is also the time when Hong Chengchou showed extreme toughness, the army as a whole went south to Nanjing, and wherever he passed, he met those gentry, and raided his house casually, and after he finished copying his house, the property obtained was distributed to the soldiers of the whole army, such as grain, property, and other things, which were either distributed to the people or sold on the spot.This move made Hong Chengchou gain a strong favor from the people of Jingxiang, especially Xiangyang City, as a military town in Jingxiang area, is also a transportation hub and a commercial town in the north and south.The economy was prosperous, and the population was five or six hundred thousand, but the Jingxiang army began to raid and arrest the gentry and officials throughout the city.The entire Xiangyang City was in chaos in an instant, and there were screams, screams, insults, beatings, and wild laughter everywhere.These gentry and officials, who are usually arrogant and domineering, are accustomed to seeing the big-headed soldiers rushing in, and their first reaction is not fear, nor fear, but anger, and they scold when they open their mouths, and the commander Ding and his servants drive these soldiers away: "Such lowly warriors, dare to insult us and other scholars, the students of the world will never let you go, and they will never let you go......"
Obviously, they will be brutally beaten.They were either punched and kicked, or knives with scabbards were directly tapped on the lips, and the arrogant insults immediately turned into painful wails.Almost the same as the phenomenon in the capital, the literati regard the martial arts as enemies, and the military generals regard the literati as great enemies, and the relationship between the two sides is simply too bad to be worse.Now that their Xiangjing army, Jiangsu and Zhejiang armies, and the armies of Huguang provinces have all decided to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, then, naturally, the pattern of using literature to control military force no longer exists, and these generals and soldiers have nothing to be polite to these literati?
Those who have been wronged will be avenged, and those who have revenge will be avenged.A large number of captured gentry and officials were not put in prisons, but tied to trees on the spot, or put in cages for the whole city to watch.This is actually Hong Chengchou's vote to Quan Xujiao.Of course, compared with the strict military discipline of the whole family army, whether it is the Jingxiang army or the Jiangsu and Zhejiang army, they do not have the strict military discipline of the whole family army.However, only there will be no insults to women, but Jing Xiangjun does not have so many scruples, and when they raid their homes, even women are copied together.Many generals or soldiers of the Jingxiang Army, when they raided their homes, grabbed a wife for themselves by the way to solve personal problems.The changes in Jing Xiang soon reached Quan Xu's ears.At this time, the southbound troops of the whole family army had not yet begun to move, and as a result, more than 200,000 troops carrying the black battle flag of the whole family army, and three or four hundred thousand people recruited with the army, directly surrounded Nanjing.Quan Xu looked at this information and sneered on his face: "What do they mean by this?"
Do you really think I'm foolish?
”Yuan Shu sighed and said, "Isn't this move good?"
”"It's definitely not good!"
Quan Xu said indignantly: "I am still going to get this group of bastards to Tianshan Province to reclaim the wasteland!"
”Although it is said that the current Tianshan Province, that is, most of Dongberia, is still a wild land in the eyes of people, Quan Xu knows very well that this is actually a heaven-sent treasure land.Gold alone has almost $2 trillion worth of reserves, and in addition to gold, there are also large amounts of coal, steel, natural gas, and oil.This is a huge fortune, if you don't eat it in your mouth, how can you be worthy of the huge hanging that God has given you?
Through the trading of gold, Quanxu can obtain a large number of materials and equipment from later generations, in fact, later generations need a lot of things from the Ming Dynasty, mainly precious metals and wood.Many people will say that huanghuali, rosewood, etc., are very valuable and can be sold for a large price, but the problem is that this is just wishful thinking.The market output value of China's cultural toys, antiques and artworks exceeds 600 billion, which includes more than two-thirds of gold jewelry, antiques, cultural toys, red sandalwood, and huanghuali products, all of which add up, which is almost equivalent to 200 billion, and the threshold will be very high.This industry is like diamonds, ordinary people will be very expensive to buy diamonds, but after you really have a diamond mine, you will find that this market has long been saturated, if it is not for the Kimberley Group to control the production capacity, diamonds can be beaten into cabbage prices, if it is not for publicity and speculation, this market does not even have a scale of 10 billion.This industry is a completely unfamiliar industry for Quanxu, and once Quanxu joins, it will encounter a blow from the source industry giants.For example, in the current online literature industry, China Literature Group is a well-deserved giant, with its own strong readership, product derivation team, film and television, game development team, commercial operation and promotion team, outsiders want to squeeze in, it is very difficult, there are many people who do not believe in evil, and capital has also invested a lot in Baidu, Zongheng, including online, but have they shaken the industry?
Not really.Therefore, the only way for Quanxu is to trade secretly, gold is the ideal choice, of course, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, what Quanxu wants to do most is to form the most complete industrial system in the Ming Dynasty.Gold is the most important thing for Quanxu, because the Celestial Empire in later generations needs to compete with beautiful countries to build a world system of RMB, and gold reserves are also the top priority.The demand for gold is never-ending, and of course, Quanxu also controls the production of gold, and will not cause the collapse of the gold market in later generations."
Your Majesty, it doesn't really matter!"
Yuan Shu smiled faintly: "In the future, we can reorganize these armies and transfer them to Tianshan Province in the mode of railway engineering corps or infrastructure construction corps, and we can also complete the migration of population!"
”Under the absolute superiority of firepower, Yuan Shu was not worried about the rebellion under Hong Chengchou's command at all.Quan Xu nodded and said, "Clean up, let's go back to Beijing!"
”It's not that Quan Xu misses Helena, and it's not because the matter of Jixian County has been dealt with, but because Qin Liangyu has entered Beijing, and Quan Xu still attaches great importance to this famous female general in history.There are not many people who can admire Quan Xu, and Qin Liangyu is definitely one.Her husband Ma Qiancheng is a descendant of the Han Fubo general Ma Yuan, hereditary stone pillar consolation envoy (commonly known as Tusi), after Ma Qiancheng was killed, because his son Ma Xianglin was young, Qin Liangyu then took the husband's position.Qin Liangyu led his brothers Qin Bangping and Qin Minping to participate in the battles against the Qing army, the Rebellion of Extravagant Chongming, and the Rebellion of Zhang Xianzhong.Of course, in this time and space, because of the appearance of Quan Xu and the appearance of Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu did not have the appearance of King Qin four times in history, and her departure from the mountain in the seventh year of Chongzhen and the thirteenth year of Chongzhen was canceled under the influence of Quan Xu.This time when he went north to the capital, Qin Liangyu discussed the issue of the Sichuan army with Quan Xu.Qin Liangyu is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but he really looks down on the small court in Jiangnan, the small court in Jiangnan has not forgotten to win her over, and the price offered to her is not low.This is not the lady of Zheng Erpin, but the prince Taibao, the military attache Zheng Yipin's Zuo Dudu, the chief soldier of Sichuan Province, regardless of the title or treatment, it can be said that there is no one before or after.It's just that she directly brought her nephew Qin Yiming and Ma Xianglin, as well as more than 300 Sichuan soldiers to Beijing.However, her personal soldiers of 300 children arrived in Beijing, and it can be regarded as to fill up her face, and the selection is all strong and the equipment is also the best.However, compared with the royal guards in the capital, they are simply called Huazi, only the general level, that is, Qin Liangyu, Qin Yiming, and Ma Xianglin have a pair of iron armor, and these three pairs of iron armor do not know how many generations have been passed on, and the armor leaves are generally half thinner than the original, which is all rubbed with rust.Ordinary soldiers don't even have leather armor, just a set of battle jackets, the original red battle jackets are now washed white, and they are full of patches, only a little stronger than beggars, it is hard to believe that this is the elite unit of the Ming army, which has been guarding the gate for more than ten years, and has made great contributions to the Guanmen Sichuan army!
Although the appearance of the Sichuan army is not very good, its appearance is eye-catching.These Sichuan soldiers were generally not tall, but they were very strong, and they held a spear made of ash wood with a hook and sickle, and a ring, through which the Sichuan soldiers could pass through the long spear when necessary, and build a very simple but absolutely practical ladder to climb the cliffs.The spear was their main weapon, and the officers would have a waist knife, while the regular soldiers would have nothing.The Sichuan army arrived in the capital and was received with a high standard, although they were not allowed to enter the capital, but they lived in the military camp outside the city, which also housed the soldiers of the southbound legion.The barracks were built from prefabricated houses, but it was summer, and the ground was made of concrete, and there were fire pits underneath, so you didn't feel the cold at all when you entered the roof.Of course, they didn't need to be afraid of the cold, when they came to the capital, seeing that the Sichuan army was very thin, Quan Xu instructed the General Logistics Department to urgently allocate some of the royal army's cotton clothes, cotton pants, and sheepskin boots.Lying on the warm bed, these Sichuan soldiers looked at the brand-new cotton clothes on their bodies, a little incredulous, how many years, they have also gone north to King Qin more than once, but when did the imperial court treat them so well?
Especially when eating, these Sichuan troops are even more eye-opening.The large stainless steel basin is filled with steaming potatoes and chicken nuggets, braised beef with tomatoes, stewed vermicelli with pork, braised hairtail, stewed elbows with winter melon, and seaweed egg drop soup.Look at the aromatic dishes that will whet your appetite.The officers and men of the Zhongchuan Army sighed: "For this meal, even if you die, it's worth it!"
