Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 285

After taking a closer look, Bahai found that the man outside the city really looked like Kangxi—he seemed to have pockmarks!

Chang Ning has no pockmarks, but that man has pockmarks!

It has pockmarks... Maybe it's Kangxi!

At this time, "Kangxi" spoke again: "The people in the city listened, the emperor of Ming Dynasty is so powerful that he will not kill us all. Not only will not kill us all, but he will also recruit our brothers from the Eight Banners New Army, which can be adapted into Ming's Eight Banners soldiers..."

And this good thing?This is Daming's eagle dog!

Bahai took a closer look and found that the man outside the city looked more like Kangxi, and his facial features really looked like Kangxi!

"Kangxi" took a breath, and roared again: "Brothers in the city listened, the emperor of Ming Dynasty has appointed me as the commander of the four guards of Shenyang, Jianzhou, Liaohai, and Tieling, the general of Pingbei... Shenyang, The land of Jianzhou, Liaohai, and Tieling can all be given to us to farm in the Eight Banners of Ming Dynasty!"

This condition is OK!

Ba Hai was moved now.

The four guards mentioned by "Kangxi" were actually the administrative units of the Ming Dynasty, roughly located in the north of today's Liaoyang Prefecture all the way to the northern border of Fengtianfu.Not only is the land quite large, but this area was originally a place where the farms of the new Eight Banners soldiers were concentrated.If "Kangxi" can get these sites, it means that most of Bahai's farms can be preserved.

In addition, the land of Jianzhouwei, one of the four guards, is densely covered with mountains and forests, rich in wood, fur, and medicinal materials.It is also a treasure land, and if it is well managed, it can generate a lot of silver dollars for the Pingbei General's Mansion...

That is to say, relying on the income from farms and mountain goods, it is possible to maintain the Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty in the Pingbei General's Mansion.

This is also a way of life!It seems that this eagle dog is still suitable!

"Kangxi" spoke again: "The great emperor also said... In the future, the defense of the coast of Heilongjiang and Sakhalin Island will be handed over to the Pingbei General's Mansion. The imperial court can send us military expenses. Every time we send a soldier to station in northern Xinjiang, the imperial court You can give us money according to the salary of 36 yuan a year for a soldier. If there is meritorious service or a war in the north, you can also pay more... Now that Daming has money, money is not a problem!"

The row of Zhu and Qi is quite big!

But he is not bad.Because he accepted the "Ming Eight Banners" and used them as eagle dogs.

Now the old Maozi in the north has reached the edge of Heilongjiang!

Therefore, Zhu Heqi could not create a "no man's land" in the northeast and outer northeast.

Otherwise, when he finds enough immigrants from the Central Plains to fill in, Mao Zi may have gone to "Jilin"... The lessons of history are too profound.

And now there are only tens of millions of people in the entire Ming Dynasty, and there are not even people in Sichuan, the land of abundance... the people in the warm land of Middle Earth, will they leave the "easy" Sichuan and run to Heilongjiang, where people are freezing to death?

This is obviously impossible!

Even if Zhu Hechi could use administrative means to relocate some people there, it would not be able to sustain it.

So for a long time in the future, only the Mongols and the Ming Eight Banners will be able to help Daming guard the northern border, and even help Daming beat the Rakshasa people back a bit...

Hearing what "Kangxi" said, Bahai felt that he must be the real Kangxi.

However, this is a big matter, and he is not easy to be arbitrary.So he asked the left and right: "What do you think? Is he the real Kangxi? I ​​look at him as if he is real."

"It's true, it must be true." An Zhuhu was worried that Ba Hai would be a stickler, but he didn't expect that this upright General Sheng Jing would also play tricks!

Of course, Anzhuhu now also thinks that this Kangxi is quite real.

He has a large farm outside Shengjing City, and he has saved money in the Penglai Bank in Jingzhou Tianwang City, and he has been struggling around Ninggu Tower for many years... He knows how to deal with those Raksha ghosts of!If you follow Daming, you may even get a chance to make contributions.

"That's right, that's Kangxi."

"It's Kangxi... exactly the same as the one I saw in Beijing!"

"General, should we follow Lord Kangxi to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?"

After Anzhuhu made his statement, none of the following group of governors, deputy governors, and leaders wanted to die for the Qing Dynasty. Seeing that Bahai and Anzhuhu both "know Kangxi" so much, they naturally recognized the person who came here. Kangxi!

If it is fake, it will be replaced, and then it will be replaced again!

Now that everyone recognized that the person outside the city was Kangxi, Bahai no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Quickly, open the city gate and welcome Daming!"

"Hey!" The people below all breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted in unison: "Welcome Daming!"

……

Chang Ning finally entered the city without any risk and lived in his mansion in Shengjing—although he was pretending to be Kangxi, he dared not live in the imperial palace in Shengjing.

In fact, he is not even interested in Befu, Prince Gong of Shengjing... What he wants now is to find a chance to escape the golden cicada's shell, and then go to Jinzhou Tianwang City to spend a few years in peace.

When he arrived at Tianwang City, he was no longer Aixinjueluo Changning, but an ordinary rich man.

But it's not that easy to be a rich man, and it's not time to run away yet.

"General Ba, do you know how to get to the Raksha Kingdom?"

While Chang Ning was thinking about how to run, Huang Zhisheng had already exchanged pleasantries with Ba Hai, and got straight to the point, asking about going to Rakshasa.

It is his mission to visit Rakshasa, Turkey, Rome, France and other countries to set up a siege of Spain for Zhu and Qi!

Ba Hai quickly shook his head, "Master Hou, don't call me General, I am a commander now."

Bahai is now the commander of the Shenyang Guard... an official who has just been appointed.

And Shenyang is the original Shengjing area.

"So, Commander Ba," Huang Zhisheng smiled and changed his words, "To tell you the truth, I have an errand in Xiaguan, which is to go to the Raksha country... But we don't know how to get there, you have a way ?"

"This..." Bahai hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid it's not easy to leave now!"

"Why is it hard to leave?" Huang Zhisheng asked.

"Did you fight with the Raksha people again?" Tu Hai next to him interrupted and asked.

"The fight hasn't started yet, but it's coming soon." Bahai shook his head and said, "These Rakshas are all brave and ruthless, and even the Saurons and the Balhus are no match for them.

Moreover, in recent years, the army of Liaodong has been marching into the pass, and the border of Heilongjiang is very empty.In the past few years, the Raksha people have made more progress, built many fortresses on our territory, and are still looking for the Haikou of Heilongjiang... Our village on the border of Heilongjiang has suffered a lot! "

"Looks like it's going to be a good fight!" Tu Hai smiled and said, "Commander Ba, can your people beat them?"

Bahai laughed and said, "I wasn't sure at first, but now it's done. Now there is a new force brought by the general, and the Mongols from Burni are helping...Maybe we can beat Rakshasa back to the Siberian Khanate! "

Chapter 665 Open the door, let Kangxi go!

What Bahai and Tuhai are singing and drinking are actually trying to fool Huang Zhisheng, who is not a "diplomat" who is really knowledgeable.

Because how could the Luocha soldiers entrenched in the north of Heilongjiang be the opponents of the Sauron cavalry and Barhu cavalry under Bahai's command?

The Sauron Cavalry is the treasure of Kangxi Kang Mazi!Got the best equipment and training in the past few years.Although Kangxi did not have the ability to equip them with breastplates, they were already equipped with chain mail, flintlock guns, and grenade hammers.

The Dutch East India Company also sent Swedish cavalry experts to help with training (for a fee, of course).After several years of training, the ability of this group of Sauron cavalry to line up and attack is almost comparable to that of Gustav II's Swedish cavalry.

Moreover, after being equipped with sugar-powdered grenade hammers and flintlock guns, their individual combat capabilities far surpassed the Cossack cavalry of the Raksha Kingdom.

Although most of Sauron's cavalry followed Zhen Kangxi, Bahai still had two assistant leaders, a total of [-] Sauron's cavalry!

Under the command of Ningguta General Yin Tu (also under the control of Ba Hai), there is also a Baerhu Iron Cavalry participating in the leadership, they are the simplified version of Sauron's Iron Cavalry.There is no chain mail and flintlock, but it is still equipped with a grenade hammer, and it will also attack like Sauron's cavalry.In addition, they also retained bows and arrows like the Sauron cavalry, and they were also able to skillfully use cavalry and archery tactics.

The [-] Sauron and Barhu cavalry under the jurisdiction of the two general mansions of Shengjing and Ningguta alone were enough to drive away the Raksha people in the north of Heilongjiang.

After all, there are only a few hundred Luocha soldiers entrenched in Yaksa City... or called Luocha Zhuangding. I don't know if there are dozens of regular troops among them?Of course, it is impossible to rely on such an army to fight against the elite Sauron cavalry and Barhu cavalry.

It is also impossible to stick to Yaksa City, because the army under Bahai's command is a "low-sugar army", and the current Raksha army is a "sugar-free army". It is impossible for the "low-sugar army" to compete with the "high-sugar army", but it can crush the "sugar-free army" in terms of firepower.Not to mention that Yaksa only has a wooden fort, even if the strongest bastion is built, it will still be bombed by Bahai's artillery!

And Bahai didn't attack Yaksa City before, not because he couldn't fight it, but because the existence of Yaksa City was beneficial for him to incorporate the Sauron tribe in the area along the Heilongjiang River——Who would love the Dalai Lama if the Raksha ghosts don't come? Qing, love Kangxi?

In addition, the national policy of the Qing Dynasty at that time was to fight against the Ming Dynasty with all its strength, so it did not care about the Raksha people on the northern line.

And now... Yaksa's Raksha people are valuable, and they must be sold for a good price, otherwise the life of the Eight Banners of Ming Dynasty will be difficult in the future.

So we can't let Huang Zhisheng go there, lest he find out that Yaksa's Raksha people are actually very weak... If Huang Zhisheng reported the situation there truthfully to Zhu Heqi, it would be difficult for them to quote.

Tu Hai, who is almost an old fox, has no need to conspire with Ba Hai to know how to do this business.He followed Bahai's words and said: "However, it will take some time for the soldiers and horses brought by General Pingbei to settle... How should Ningguta be arranged? Should Nurgan Dusi be restored or be controlled by General Pingbei? The name is not correct. It's not going well!

In addition, the city of Yaksa is strong, and there are two stronger fortresses in Chita and Yakutsk behind it!According to investigations, the Raksha people stationed a total of [-] shotgun soldiers in the three cities of Yakutsk, Chita, and Yaksa, and there were also fortresses guarding them.If we only take the city of Yaksa, then the Raksha people will definitely send troops from Chita and Yakutsk... The battle on Heilongjiang will inevitably be protracted.

But to capture the three cities of Yakutsk, Chita, and Yaksa in one fell swoop, tens of thousands of troops must be prepared, and a large amount of food, grass, and supplies must be prepared. It is also necessary to build warships that can run rampant on the Heilongjiang River to transport troops and food. ... This cost is not small! "

Huang Zhisheng understood that the two foxes, Tuhai and Bahai, were asking for money!

However, he is just an imperial envoy on a mission to the west, at most he beats the side drums for Tuhai and Bahai, so he said with a smile: "This imperial envoy will definitely tell the story of the situation in the north of Heilongjiang... but this imperial envoy bears the emperor's order. If you can’t cross Heilongjiang and go north, how can you go west to Moscow, the capital of Rakshasa?”

At this time, General Pingbei’s puppet Kangxi Changning finally thought about the matter of running away and began to participate in the conversation. He took Huang Zhisheng’s question and replied: “You can go to Irkuts on the North Sea by going to Khalkha Mongolia. Ke... The Chechen Khan tribe on Khalkha Mongolia East Road has always had contacts with Beihai Luocha, Master Huang can ask the Chechen Khan tribe to send you to Irkutsk."

"But this Che Chenhan is not my vassal of Ming Dynasty!" Huang Zhisheng asked, "Can he help?"

Chang Ning said: "Master Huang, this Khalkha Mongolia is the fiefdom of King Jinlun Fawang. After I settle down in Shenyang, I will send troops to Khalkha together with him. At that time, I will definitely be able to subdue Chechen Khan. You can follow The Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty will go to Khalkha, and when Che Chenhan is subdued, he will send you to Irkutsk."

The "Golden Wheel Fawang" he was talking about was of course not the great lama in the snowy land that Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv knew, but Burni.Burni's grandfather Lin Dan Khan has two main titles, one is Genghis Khan and the other is Jinlun Fawang.

These two titles can be combined and add more than 45 characters to form a super long title with a total length of [-] characters, almost catching up with "Dragon Mama".

After Burni took refuge in Ming Dynasty, his "Genghis God Blessed Khan" of course did not dare to become "Genghis Khan" again, and he would go to see Genghis Khan... But he also didn't want to be a "Shunyi King" or "Gongshun King" Yes, it sounds like a capitulator.So he found his grandfather's "Golden Wheel Fawang" from the pile of old papers, and began to command the grassland under the name "Golden Wheel Fawang".

As soon as Zhu Heqi heard "Golden Wheel Fawang", he thought of Yang Guo, Xiaolongnv and so on, so he didn't care about Burni, so Burni began to use this religious title.

The reason why Jinlun Fawang Burni sent troops to Khalkha together with the pseudo-Kangxi Changning was not because he was worried that he would not be able to defeat the three tribes of Khalkha, but because the Ten Banners of Zhelimu were under the auspices of the prince and county king of the Six Banners of Horqin. Migration to Khalkha Mongolia began.

The relationship between Horqin Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty was particularly close, so they were subject to relatively small restrictions. They often followed the Qing army to conquer the east and west. Horqin Six Flags.Therefore, Horqin's force has always been strong, and Burni, who has been seriously injured for a long time, can't beat him at all, so he can only invite Chang Ning to send troops together.

Chang Ning went on to say: "When the officials help King Jinlun defeat Khalkha, they will be able to lead the Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty to the north of Heilongjiang, and recover the lost land of Nurgan Dusi for the imperial court."

……

The memorials of Huang Zhisheng, Burni, pseudo-Kangxi, Bahai and others were quickly sent to the South Study Room of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and placed in front of the case of the grand prince and emperor.

At this time, the layout of Nan's study had changed. It became a conference room with a long table and a circle of chairs beside the table.

The Ming court did not follow Zhu Heqi to the north, but stayed in Nanjing because Zhongxian and Yang Qilong presided over daily affairs.While restoring Beijing's status as the capital, Zhu Heqi set up a Beijing left-behind department and appointed Zhuge Sanhe as the Beijing left-behind department.Because Zhu Heqi is now personally sitting in Beijing, the left-behind department has set up a small court, which is temporarily in charge of administering Zhili, Liaodong, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other provinces recovered during the Northern Expedition—these The land is not just settled, the reform of the land equalization system must be carried out, and some village sages who resist the reform must be suppressed.The influence of Confucianism must also be attacked, and these are the responsibility of the Beijing Left Behind Department.

At the same time, the small imperial court of the left-behind division was also responsible for commanding the offensives against Shaanxi, Northeast China, and Mongolia, and was also responsible for Ming's foreign affairs.

Chapter 666 Want to make money?Then be a good eagle dog!

"Hehehe, it would cost tens of thousands of troops to fight the city of Yaksa with only a few hundred Raksha people, and it would ask me for 500 million military expenses... Ba Hai, Tu Hai, Chang Ning, Yin Tu and the others really dare to fight like a lion! Open your mouth!"

Zhu and Qi finished reading the pile of memorials that Mingzhu personally brought to Beijing, and then they were not angry, and asked the left and right with a smile, "Tell me, should we give this money?"

"Of course I can't, it's too much!" Zhuge Sanhe immediately objected, "Your Majesty, the imperial court's finances are not abundant, and they have been fighting non-stop for the past two years. There are almost 70 soldiers! The military expenditure is huge. Although the gains are not small, those cities and lands are not so easy to turn into silver dollars... If the Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty are given a few million more, the imperial court will really have to pile up debts Already!"

Of course Zhuge Sanhe was crying for being poor!

The court of the Ming Dynasty was actually rich, because the Ming Dynasty issued silver coins, and also opened four major banks, namely Dongchang Guanyin, Yanye, Penglai Tianwang and Nanyang, and controlled these large banks and Dongyin Qianchang, a small bank, has also established five major exchanges in Dengliao, Nanjing, Shanghai, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou... thus firmly grasping the lifeline of finance in its own hands.

So money, to Daming, is sometimes just a number.

Moreover, because the Ming Dynasty implemented a strict land equalization system, most of the land was directly withdrawn from the circulation channel and became "not for sale". Therefore, the scarcity of land (mainly fertile land) was artificially caused!

The combination of scarce land and developed finance naturally gives the legally transferable private land a certain financial attribute.

And in this Northern Expedition, the most valuable spoils obtained by the Ming army was the land—the entire Beijing city was emptied, and there were farms all around Beijing that originally belonged to the children of the New Eight Banners!

Although these farms are difficult to realize quickly, they can be used as collateral to help the Ming court quickly raise funds from the four major banks and the small and medium-sized banks below—because the amount of land is as many as tens of millions of acres, and most of them They are all abandoned and can be delivered easily, so the mortgage value of hundreds of millions of silver dollars is not a problem.

But the wealth is not revealed, and the official is not dignified.Even if the Ming court has money, it can't show off its wealth in front of Mingzhu!

Therefore, Zhu Tianwang, who has rich experience in the world, also yelled, with a heartache on his face: "This is taking us for fools! Our money is not blown by the wind!"

Like Kangxi, he, the Supreme Emperor, retreated without hiding, and continued to exert his "remaining heat".However, his authority is incomparable to that of Kangxi. He is only one of the eleven bachelors of the Academy of Bachelors, and he also owns the two free cities of Dengzhou Tianwang City and Jinzhou Tianwang City-Free City was run by him. It's a chain store.

However, the land occupied by these two "chain-operated" free cities is much smaller than the original "Heavenly King's fief", only the inner city is left, without the suburbs and villages.

Although the size of the footprint has shrunk, the reputation has been established.So during this period of time, ghosts and monsters from Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong, Huaibei, and Henan all took their ill-gotten gains to these two heavenly king cities.However, the "military management officers" sent by the Ming Dynasty were "slow to respond", and they were slowly preparing for the imperial examinations in the five provinces, preparing to obtain a batch of usable "Northern Scholars" through this imperial examination, and then form the provinces, prefectures, and counties The civil affairs yamen, followed by land inspection, household clearing, and land equalization.Before that, the grassroots in the northern provinces were still in the hands of a group of village sages.If these sages are smart, they can sneak away to the two Heavenly Kings City to live as apartments after earning some money, and of course no one will stop them.

If Zhu Heqi really swiped his pen and gave Ba Hai, Tu Hai, Chang Ning, and Yin Tu millions of dollars in a very easy-to-talk manner, it is estimated that more than half of them would directly flow into the two heavenly king cities!

So this money... can still be earned for them, but it can't be earned so easily. It has to be a good dog for the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi said with a smile: "If there are tens of thousands of Rakshasa musketeers, then a few million will be given, but there are only a few hundred people...Let Sauron soldiers and Barhu soldiers pull a few rocket launchers Wouldn’t it be enough to go around for a while? This job can be done with [-] yuan.”

Only fifty thousand?

Mingzhu looked bitter, this is too little, right?

Zhu Heqi looked at him, smiled and said, "You want to make money, don't you?"

"No, I don't want to..." Mingzhu is still a little thin-skinned - he hasn't adjusted to his new identity yet.

Although he has an official status in the Ming Dynasty, he is actually the manager of a "mercenary group"... The so-called Ming Eight Banners are actually the mercenary group supported by Zhu Heqi!

The military system of the Ming Dynasty is based on the conscription system based on the land equalization system. The advantage is that the source of soldiers is very wide, and a large number of soldiers can be recruited during wartime.The disadvantage is that most of these soldiers are not professional soldiers, so they cannot serve for a long time.

Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty ruled the world, it was necessary to send out mercenaries if they wanted to send troops to the surrounding area or even overseas.

The Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols under the command of Jinlun Fawang Burni, and the devil soldiers from the Japanese country that is about to be conquered by the Ming Dynasty are all excellent mercenaries!

Zhu Heqian looked at Mingzhu, who was still a bit thin-skinned, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with wanting to make money? Making money is not shabby...but there is no way of making money like yours! You go back and tell Bahai, Tuhai, Changning, Yin Figure them out, I will let them earn these millions of silver dollars. But I can’t give that much to a city of Yaksa!”

"There is more than one Yaksa," Mingzhu said, "There are also Yakutsk and Chita... There are more Raksha ghosts there!"
