Great time travel

Chapter 2. 27 Moments in the Four Years of Chongzhen ([-])
The Second Moment: The Journey of the Heroes of the Past

South China, Fujian, Quanzhou

When the wind in Beijing is already cold and the dripping water turns into ice, Quanzhou in the south is still as warm as spring.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Quanzhou has been an important port in the southeast, and there has been an endless stream of merchants from the Western Regions and big diners.After the Song Dynasty, Quanzhou further became the most important seaport in China. It was known as the "City of Light" because of its brilliant lights. The goods of the Song Dynasty set sail from here and shipped them to Vietnam, Thailand, India and other places, and even exported to Baghdad. and Egypt before being resold to Europe by Venetian merchants.

It's a pity that the Mongolian Yuan invaded later, and the sunset on the Yashan Mountain plundered all the wealth accumulated by the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years.After the brutal war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the country had almost no currency that could be used for transactions.Among the taxes collected by Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang every year, silver was actually only 10 taels.In the case of a serious shortage of hard currency, China's domestic trade almost degenerated to barter in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and taxes were almost completely turned into taxes in kind.Against such a historical background, Quanzhou, a trade hub, also declined rapidly, and business shrank to the point of almost disappearing.

However, in the [-]th century in the late Ming Dynasty, with the advent of the era of great navigation, Quanzhou Port was once again a scene of thousands of sails and hundreds of boats competing for flow. Today's Quanzhou is at its peak of prosperity. There are businessmen from the north and the south everywhere, they talk in the street with various accents, and sometimes foreign Yi languages, even white people with blond hair and blue eyes and black people with coal-colored skin can be seen everywhere.The monks of the Kaiyuan Temple in the city pounded the wooden fish, and Baoxiang solemnly recited the scriptures; at the entrance of the street food shop, the strong and strong man was bare-chested, waving a wooden stick and smashing the fish balls, making a loud crackling noise... Looking at the market, there is a scene of prosperity, prosperity and prosperity everywhere.

In the 40th year of Wanli, the Spanish in Manila once wrote: "...the Silk Road on the sea is flourishing day by day, and the Chinese merchant ships from Quanzhou and Zhangzhou to Manila are in an endless stream, forming a sea passage. At first glance Going, a person can almost jump over one ship after another, from Manila to Quanzhou." Although the pirates on the Taiwan Strait have become more and more prosperous since the Ming Dynasty entered the Apocalypse Year, the sea trade has continued to prosper. As long as you master Quanzhou, the "City of Light", you will be able to obtain a cornucopia of continuously harvesting gold and silver.

But the strange thing is that the Ming court, far away in Beijing, still thinks it is a barren land, and the tax it can receive from the whole province of Fujian every year is only 60 taels of silver—and only in Quanzhou , there are as many as dozens of rich merchants with a net worth of more than one million taels...

In short, since Zheng Zhilong, a "Guerrilla in coastal defense", was defeated and killed in the attack of "Kun Thieves" last year, Marshal Huangshi Huang, who took advantage of the momentum and swept across Fujian, moved his camp from Xiapu in northern Fujian to Quanzhou, in order to control this trade. The most important thing is to raise enough military pay - although he doesn't need to worry about the actual tax collection, but to make those sea merchants obediently pay the money, the force deterrence of [-] Funing Army is indispensable.

At this moment, on a small three-storey building in the back residence of Fujian General Soldier Xingyuan, Marshal Huangshi Huang, who had just won the victory against the Shimadzu family of the Satsuma domain and had just returned from Japan, was enjoying the refreshing sea breeze and the twilight of the setting sun. A family dinner full of warmth.

The dishes on the table are very simple, only four items: leek box, taro buns, fried meat rolls, and then fish balls with pork stuffing, which is a famous dish in Fujian Province - similar to those in the north that rely on adding flour. The formed meatballs are different. Fujian likes to use sticky fish such as sharks to make meatballs. It is said to be so elastic that it can jump three feet high when thrown on the ground. After adding pork filling, it has the crispness of fish balls. The taste is rich and mellow like pork balls... The above dishes are very common in the Fujian market, but the drink that goes with the meal is special, not traditional rice wine or white wine, but a bottle of kvass: a taste A low-concentration Russian alcoholic drink that is sweet and sour, from the hands of the group of travelers on Hainan Island.

Huang Shi, who had had enough of poor Japanese food recently, was happily eating meatballs made by his wife while it was still hot, while admiring his wife's singing voice.

"...Who cut the time into fireworks, and in a flash, you can see all the prosperity;
Who cut the years into crumbs, see through the world of mortals in an instant;
Who turned youth into a sand painting, and when I look back, I read all the exaggerations..."

The former second sister of Zhao, now Mrs. Zhao, the wife of the general soldier of Fujian Province, is wearing a water-blue silk skirt, leaning against the window railing of the small building, singing the song "The South China Sea Bandit" with a smile on her face. "New song", the youthful appearance of a girl with long hair has faded away, and the grace of a mature lady has added a bit.

In the traditional concept of Chinese people, singing is a humble thing.The recognition of singing in the upper class did not begin until after the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.After the Manchu Qing ruled China, because the blood of the barbarians had not faded away, they were morbidly fascinated by the literary form of drama.From princes and aristocrats to ordinary Eight Banners people, they became obsessed with opera not long after they entered Beijing, and many Manchus liked to sing a few words for nothing.

The formation of various fashions in ancient society was usually a process from top to bottom. Since the rulers of the Qing Dynasty liked to sing music, this affected the habits of the entire Chinese society. It's a cheap industry, but occasionally I can sing a few lines of drama, but it has become a more elegant thing.But in the earlier late Ming Dynasty, except for a few wild and wild people, the whole Chinese society not only regarded the folk art industry as a lowly industry, but also believed that singing was a lowly thing that only opera actors would do.Those rich and noble ladies are determined not to do it easily.

However, in the spring of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Shi and Funing Army were attacked and squeezed out by the entire Fujian officialdom and even the Beijing court. They were almost on the verge of falling apart. Qin was quietly sent to Lingao to avoid misfortune, and was entrusted to the care of "people from my hometown" (five hundred cross-members)... Zhao Ermeizi's elder brother, Zhao Yingong, who was sentenced by Juehua Island, had already been attacked because of Huangshi, so he At the end of the first year of Chongzhen's tenure, he died for no apparent reason. It is said that he died of depression, so he couldn't count on it. As a result, on the side of Lingao's traversers, the second sister Zhao enjoyed high standards because of Huangshi. The treatment, seeing and hearing various modern lifestyles, and knowing that her husband is also a big boss of "thieves", even deliberately imitated and learned, and soon all kinds of speech and behavior moved closer to the time traveler.

——Before Lingaozhong crossed over, Huangshi was naturally just an ordinary soy sauce crowd.But after the time travel, in view of the fact that Huangshi has been operating in the time and space of the late Ming Dynasty for ten years, not only has he worked hard, he has a huge personal power, but also has more valuable contacts, reputation, influence, and extremely rich war experience. Internal divisions (Huangshi also has many friends among the cross-travelers), the boss of Wen Desi had to squeeze his nose and delegate power, and gave Huangshi the title of a full-fledged member of the executive committee, and was later promoted to the vice chairman who led the army construction. One of the five giants of the Executive Committee.

For example, if we compare the power of Lingao traversers to the Soviet Union, if Wen Desi is the eternally glorious, great and correct Comrade Lenin, then Huangshi is the "Red Army leader" who turned to the Bolsheviks with a large number of people after the February Revolution in Soviet Russia. "Father" Trotsky - the first batch of indigenous troops in the Lingao crossing group, Huangshi also sent trusted officers to help with training. After nearly two years of "Kunfeng", it turned out that Huangshi finally stabilized the situation in Fujian in the autumn of the third year of Chongzhen, that is, more than a year ago. When he brought his wife and children back from Hainan Island, he was surprised to find that his wife had naturally She wore a pink casual dress for women, and her two-year-old daughter, Huang Qin, also put on western-style children's clothes and cute red leather shoes...Of course, Huang Shi still liked it.

"...Papa! Madame really has a good voice, and her singing skills are improving day by day. This song is truly heavenly!"

After singing a song, Huang Shi clapped his hands vigorously, "...Hey, it's a pity that our husband and wife were finally reunited last year. Next, we will get together less and leave more. In Japan, after the triumphant return, I still have to go to Lingao for a meeting. I really don’t want to enter the house, and I’m so busy that I didn’t hear my wife’s beautiful voice until now! It’s a pity that I’m going to Liaodong again in two days. It's..."

"...Hehe, how can you say so exaggeratedly, but you are just humming a few words when you have nothing to do." Although she knew that Huang Shi was flattering herself, Madam Zhao couldn't help but blushed slightly, "... When you were in Japan, didn’t anyone entertain you to watch dances and dances?”

"...Well, when I was in Japan, there were a few Japanese daimyos, um, the princes in Japan, who entertained me to watch 'Noh' and listen to 'Sarugaku'...It's a pity that I only heard them sing It makes my heart shudder, that voice is more unbearable than howling wolves..."

When mentioning Japanese Noh and Sarugaku, Huang Shi immediately showed a distressed expression, "...When I was at Lingao, I was all focused on the quarrel at the meeting, and I didn't have any intention of entertaining... …By the way, I brought some new stuff from Qiongzhou this time, come and try it!"

As he said this, he took out a small iron box, which contained many small dark chocolate cubes - not long ago, a Dutch merchant ship tried to transport a small batch of American cocoa to Lingao, and the people who traveled across immediately felt like Turn it into a chocolate sauce in a treasure trove.Because the amount of chocolate is too small, peanuts and walnuts are mixed in, and finally made into some brownies the size of sugar cubes.Due to the small amount of cocoa, each patriarch was just given a box.After Huang Shi got the box of chocolates given to him, he couldn't bear to taste it at all, so he brought it back as a gift to his wife.

Looking at these strange little black squares, Mrs. Zhao picked up a small piece curiously, took a bite, and immediately smiled——the aroma of caramel and peanuts perfectly combined with the smooth taste of chocolate, the taste immediately Conquered this young woman who was only 25 years old.

"...By the way, how was the situation on the ground in Fujian during the time I was away?" Huang Shi asked while continuing to eat the meatballs.

If it was in the court of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, the harem concubines were strictly prohibited from interfering in government affairs, even talking about it, and those who violated it were immediately executed.But on the side of Huangshi and Kun Thief, "women hold up half the sky" is not a joke—otherwise, just wait for those female veterans to go crazy!

According to Huang Shi, if he can't even trust his wife who lives with him day and night, how many people in the world can he trust?
"...not very good. Since those work teams started to go to the countryside to collect grain and farmland, there have been constant conflicts. It is even difficult to get back the original military farmland of the Funing Military Guard. At the beginning of the year, We only let out a few rumors that we wanted to grow the land, and before we did anything, hundreds of talented people poured into Quanzhou City, holding the tablet of Confucius' most holy teacher, and took to the streets to set up a row of boots. Come into the yamen!"

——The "broken boot array" of scholars in the Ming Dynasty was not a very civilized demonstration and protest, but more similar to the square movement and color ♂ revolution of later generations. People's privileges can do everything from arresting officials and setting fire to yamen!

"...Dare to make trouble at our door? I must have gone to Ryukyu at that time. What happened afterwards?" Huang Shi asked curiously.

"...What else can be done? Jin Qiude immediately took a battalion of recruits who had just shaved their heads to the street, and fired a volley of guns at these scholars, and nothing happened. But only eight people died, Confucius's The tablet of the most holy teacher was thrown all over the street, and there was no one there! What about the demeanor of the scholars and the iron bones? Tsk tsk, in terms of courage, this group of fake Taoists are not as good as those rich locals who form villages in the countryside! "

The mother Zhao Ermei curled her lips and said disdainfully——since her elder brother who served as a judge died for no reason, and she received a bunch of "down with Kong Laoer" from the Lingao "Kun Thieves" After her education, combined with her personal experience and her husband's standpoint, she no longer has the slightest awe of these hypocritical "Wenquxing", but fully agrees with the extreme views of "Gun Thieves" on Ming Dynasty scholars: waste and moths That's all!

Huang Shi thought it was normal after hearing this—although scholars in the Ming Dynasty were proud of themselves, but like Zuo Guangdou in the Tianqi period, the iron-blooded and gentle warriors who were willing to be tortured were, after all, a very small minority among the very few, and most of them were at best That is, the courage to fight a Taiping fist.If scholars in the Ming Dynasty were as keen on being human bombers and blowing themselves up like some lunatics who believed in Allah in later generations, how could the Manchu Qing Dynasty have entered the customs and lived in the world for 300 years?
"...We haven't dispatched a work team in the whole of Fujian right now. We just cleared the two lands near Xiapu and Quanzhou, and we have already had to let a county magistrate and two county magistrates die of illness. I don’t know how many people died. In the end, we had to fabricate a plague to barely fool us, but there are still gentlemen who are determined to fight against us. They are clearly sitting on a wealth of wealth, but they refuse to pay even a penny in taxes. !"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "...Hey, in Liaodong and Changsheng Island, everyone knows that those with braids are the enemy, and those with hair are our own. In Fujian, but Enemies are everywhere, some people obviously won’t be grateful to you for saving their lives, and they will stab you in turn! What’s even more puzzling is that last year, the Agricultural Cooperation Group sent Agricultural technicians went to the countryside to promote high-yield seeds, pesticides and fertilizers, and agricultural machinery for free, which doubled the yield per mu of those wealthy landowners. But when it came time to collect taxes, most of them refused desperately, and even attempted to kidnap agricultural technicians Hostages! I really don’t know how their consciences grow!”

"...how did the conscience grow? This group of people never had any conscience at all, how could it grow?" Huang Shi snorted coldly, and said murderously, "... neither the commander-in-chief nor the executive committee of the Senate Excessive taxation is just to let them pay taxes according to the amount of the land, but they dare to make troubles openly, it is really a toast and not a fine wine! Since they like to risk their lives so much, how can this commander not fulfill their wishes? Regardless of whether you are the number one scholar or the best candidate, regardless of whether you are a retired servant or a retired minister, you will all be ransacked and wiped out by the general, and then a public trial will be held to divide the land to appease the people, and then a pirate will be reported for harassment, and the whole family will be wiped out! Look at their Is your head as hard as Ben Shuai's knife!"

When he uttered these decisive words, Huang Shi's heart was filled with malicious joy, as if all the grievances of the past had been wiped away.

In the past, Huangshi was very young and looked down on the ancients. He felt that with the insight beyond the times, he would be able to play with them. The power of the world, lying drunk on the lap of a beauty... As a result, on the Liaodong battlefield, facing the internal and external enemies of the Houjin Eight Banners and Donglin Civil Officials, Huang Shi finally found himself so powerless.Just like Sun Houzi faced Buddha's Five Fingers Mountain, Huang Shi felt that no matter how he jumped, he couldn't escape the other party's calculations, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't reverse the decline.

——No matter how many victories you have won on the front line and how embarrassing the enemy has been, those civil servants who don’t know how long their brains are behind are capable of ruining the entire battle overnight The accusation of the crime will fall back on the military officer again!
This indescribable sense of loss made Huang Shi often couldn't help but want to point at those civil servants and shout: If you don't make trouble for your own people, will you die!

But it was useless, the pig teammates headed by the civil servants were still unswervingly and tirelessly making trouble for their own people and giving points to the enemy.

After another period of time, Huang Shi gradually discovered that no matter how high-sounding, loyal and patriotic he was, the civil servants of Ming Dynasty did not regard the military officer as their own, but as an enemy more dangerous than Jiannu!

Therefore, they put the empire's war machine into the so-called supervisor system: the civil servants who supervise the army are responsible for the overall strategy of the land, the deployment of troops, and when and where to fight with the enemy are also decided by civil servants; The eunuchs are responsible for the supply of food and grass for the entire army, the distribution of military salaries, and the transportation and distribution of various supplies and weapons; the specific tasks of siege, defense, formation of troops, and field battles are all assigned to military officers.

From the point of view of civil officials, this is really an excellent military system. If the battle can be won, the first contribution will naturally be the civil servants in charge of strategy. China has highly emphasized the decisive role of strategy since ancient times, especially civil officials; The iron and the rice are made of steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.After the victory, the credits of the eunuchs who supervise the army are naturally indispensable; while the credits of the generals are only calculated based on the head.And if defeated.At this time, the civil servants will not recognize the great guiding significance of the strategy, and the blame for the defeat must be borne by the generals, because the generals are in charge of the specific command of the battle process, and it must be the gang of Qius who messed up the good plan; if the generals die in battle Well, the civil servants can generally shift the responsibility to the eunuchs who supervise the army. It must be that the eunuchs embezzled the armor and military pay, or they did not distribute enough food and grass to the army out of their instinctive habit of harming people, which led to the death of the army. fail.

In short, no matter whether the war is won or lost, civil servants are only rewarded but not punished, but military officials often do not even receive military pay, and can only live by robbing houses and homes, which brings them a stigma.The civil servants can impeach and attack under the banner of justice, and re-defeat the military officials who have made great achievements.

Since the last years of Wanli, border affairs have been frequent, and the imperial court has had to rely more and more on generals.In the eyes of the gentlemen in the court, the generals of all walks of life are like the monkey grandson who was suppressed at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. Putting a seal on the top, and suppressing the temper at the bottom for 500 years, as the saying goes, you must first secure the inside if you fight against the outside world. If you do this, it will be a ghost if you can win the foreign war!

Not to mention that the weapons issued are full of firecrackers that explode after three shots, and wild goose feather knives that curl their blades after two cuts... They just let you die!
Therefore, as a general, whether Huangshi is to save the country and the nation, or to realize his personal ambitions, as long as he keeps playing within the extremely unfair rules they set, he will never have a glimmer of hope of success.Only by overthrowing and destroying everything that is rotten and corrupt, and establishing a new, more advanced social system, may there be some possibility of restoring the luck of the nation!

With Huangshi's ability, at most the former can be achieved; but combined with the strength of the five hundred traversers in Shanglingao, perhaps the latter can be achieved.

Therefore, when the five hundred transversals came to this world, Huang Shi chose to return to the collective without hesitation, even if he couldn't be the boss.

However, no matter what kind of social change, it is bound to cause the dying struggle of those with vested interests, as well as all kinds of howls and howls.

After the meal was over and Mrs. Zhao took away the leftovers, Huang Shi's personal guards delivered a letter from Fujian Governor Zou Weilian. Huang Shi frowned, lit a candle, and opened the envelope to have a look. , but found that there was no text in it, only two notes.One of them reads "It's not my intention to be named Marquis, I hope Haibo will be peaceful", and the other reads "The inner treasury was burnt to splendid ashes, and the Tianjie is completely trampled to the bones of the princes." But Zou Weilian's governor's seal was stamped on both notes.

"...Even though I already know that there is nothing I can do about this commander, I still use these charades to question my commander. Do you want to be Qi Jiguang or Huang Chao? Hehe, this stubborn old man!" Huang Shi smiled lightly, Just as he was about to say something, he was suddenly interrupted by a series of bells.Looking back in a daze, I found that with the setting sun, all kinds of temples in Quanzhou city were ringing loudly, and priests of different religions were singing loudly, waving their arms to the sky, expressing their Unlimited praise and admiration to the gods.

——Since the Ming Dynasty opened the sea ban, businessmen from all over the world have come to Quanzhou for trade. By the time of Tianqi, the total number of Arab and European businessmen who chose to settle here has exceeded tens of thousands. For decades, in addition to the traditional Chinese temples in Quanzhou City , Also built a new mosque and church.As for the Quanzhou Port, it was full of ships from all corners of the country. Although the sky was getting dark, the market was still bustling. The shops were lit with candles, and a large number of citizens and business travelers also stopped and lingered on the streets.

On the street outside the wall of the Fujian General Army, men and women with happy smiles on their faces pass by in an endless stream, and children's laughter can be heard from time to time.The crowd in the street, happy, serene, peaceful, and carefree, at the entrance to the harbour.A late-arriving sailboat is slowly approaching the berth, and the sails are falling gently. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the joyful singing of the sailors on the ship because they have arrived home...

Overlooking the bustling street scene from the top of the building, Huangshi knew in his heart that if he could not change this time and space, then at most twenty years later, the street would be full of people.Whether it is a gray-haired old man or an innocent and lovely child, whether it is a vigorous young man or a happy girl with long hair, on average two out of every three people will be killed...

Such a tragedy will not only happen in Quanzhou, but the entire land of China will be plunged into a pool of blood. Hundreds of shipyards along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang will be burned together with the ships, and every living person within [-] miles of the coast will die brutally murdered...

Why does our nation suffer from such a disaster?Why are our unarmed people being killed?Why is our civilization subject to such a reversal?

Who is appeasing and raising rape, so that raising tigers is a problem?And who are the people who are betraying our country and pushing our people into misery?
Those sanctimonious gentlemen of Donglin might be able to blame everything on the thieves and the destiny with eloquence.But Yellowstone definitely doesn't think so:

——Throughout the ages, no matter which group, organization, country or class, their collapse starts from within.In the words of Jia Tanchun in "A Dream of Red Mansions", it means: You just make trouble, make trouble hard.Outsiders didn't copy it, so you copied it yourself first.

——The collapse of the Ming Dynasty was directly caused by the financial collapse, and the financial collapse of the Ming Dynasty was due to the unscrupulous embezzlement of national interests by the landlord bureaucracy.In the early stage, reforms could be carried out to alleviate the problem. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what tax policy the imperial court adopted, it could no longer guarantee the interests of the country.Because the Ming Dynasty managed the country by relying on this completely decayed and sickly landlord bureaucratic group.This is like looking at a granary with a mouse and a fishery with a greedy cat. In any case, it cannot avoid the end of national interests being embezzled by the landlord bureaucracy.

From the perspective of Huangshi today, the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty, including the clan, nobles, landlords and bureaucratic groups of landlord origin, these vested interests used their power to continuously erode the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, even in the face of peasant uprisings and foreign invasions. Under such circumstances, they will still not consider the overall interests of the country at all, and will only continue to plunder unscrupulously and frantically, almost to the point of both psychological and physical abnormalities-their crimes overthrow the country, annihilate civilization, and cause the people to suffer!For these national sinners who have corrupted the fate of China, no matter what kind of fate they end up in, it is too kind to them.Even if it is to kill them with the means that Hitler treated the Jews, it must be called the spirit of revolutionary humanitarianism.

For these people, Huangshi has already sentenced them to death secretly in their hearts-if they refuse to change course in time.

"...I have never been a bloodthirsty person, and I have never betrayed this country. Since I was literate in elementary school, the teacher taught me: always love your nation and the people of the motherland. Even if I am broken to pieces, I will You cannot stand on the opposite side of hundreds of millions of people..."

Looking at Fujian governor Zou Weilian's note, Huang Shi, the Ming hero who had repeatedly broken the slaves and "killed Nurhachi", said to himself silently.

——The hero bears the hope of the ruling and the wild, and the devil has the ambition to sweep the world.

Really, for a while, I really wanted to be a hero, I really wanted to rejuvenate Daming and bring peace to all generations.

But the cruel reality forced me to be a demon king who overthrew Ming Dynasty.

I once won many battles in Liaodong, played triumphant songs, and almost forced Jiannu to be besieged on all sides.However, the Emperor Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan, the Guanning warlords, and the Donglin Party Civilian Group failed me in their bloody battles, as well as those brave warriors who sacrificed their lives. The collapsed Hou Jin regime once again revived, causing countless innocent people to die miserably.

Even if Emperor Apocalypse did not pass away so early, and continued to trust and reuse me, as a military officer, I might be able to quell the She'an Rebellion, the Fujian-Guangdong Sea Bandits, a devastating blow to Jiannu, and dig up the body of the empire There are sores one after another, but it is still useless-countless corrupt officials who are as brazen as moths will continue to do evil, and once again make the motherland riddled with holes.Countless hungry and cold people in the Central Plains were still unable to avoid the increase in taxes, and the country still had no money to relieve the victims, no money to repair the rivers, and no money to pay the soldiers.

When the common people in the world are still forced to bear it no longer and are forced to rise up...do I still want to brandish the butcher knife at the hungry people?
The army I built with my own hands is by no means used to slaughter innocent people. I would rather cut the butcher knife to the group of sinful and corrupt hypocrites in the court!
Today, you are no longer the outstanding generation of the Chinese nation, but sinners who hinder the reform and self-saving of the Chinese nation!

Now, the time for the final judgment is not far away. In front of the slowly rolling wheel of the times, you must either give up your old privileges and keep pace with the times, transforming from parasites into operating agricultural capitalists.Or just give me all to die!
I used to fight for Daming and Huaxia in Liaodong, and now I still want to fight for this land and the people on this land!

Of course, the new system that we traversers can bring to Ming Dynasty is not perfect either.Maybe there are some critics who are full of moral and cleanliness but never do practical things—in this era, it is the hypocrites of the Donglin Party who flaunt "awe-inspiring righteousness" and will accuse us "thieves" of abandoning ethics and "immorality" , "shameless lasciviousness" and so on... Thinking of the various conjectures and condemnations about "the gangster's sex ♂ prostitution" in the notes of some scholars recently collected, Huang Shi couldn't help but want to laugh: you "gentlemen" Who doesn't have three wives and four concubines, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen, there is a maid who sleeps with him?How dare you accuse those veterans of the time traveler who only had two or three personal maids at most?
Moreover, no matter how extravagant or even absurd their private lives are, they all represent the development requirements of China's most advanced productive forces at this moment, represent the direction of China's most advanced culture, and represent China's most advanced culture. The fundamental interests of the broad masses of the people!
Only our Senate can make China embark on the correct path of the industrial revolution in advance, and even rely on the technological advantages of more than four centuries ahead, so that the people of Ming Dynasty can greatly reduce the pain of the industrialization process and enjoy the benefits of the industrial revolution in advance... Then Whether it is taking the capitalist, imperialist or socialist route, imitating the United States, Germany or the Soviet Union, at least it is much stronger than the current desperate Ming Dynasty!
——People are subject to change. Huang Shi, the general soldier of Fujian in the fourth year of Chongzhen, is no longer the loyal and brave general in the Tianqi period, but the anti-thief vanguard who is determined to break with the Ming Dynasty. Now it is only because of erection The time to rebel against the flag has not yet come, so they continue to wear the skin of Ming Dynasty for the time being.

However, as a person with feelings, this does not mean that Huangshi can completely forget everything about the past.

For example, those old friends who once fought side by side in Liaodong, and the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town struggling with hunger and cold... According to some sporadic news from the north over the years, and some letters occasionally sent by old friends from the north, Huang Shi knew very well that since Mao Wenlong was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan, Dongjiang Town, which was isolated behind the enemy, fell into endless internal strife and famine.The supply of salaries and food was also intermittent, and it was more difficult than in Mao Wenlong's time.

Under such circumstances, the livelihood of the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town is naturally more difficult, and there are starvation everywhere almost every year and every month.

Although Sun Yuanhua, the governor of the Christian Westernization Facility in Denglai, part of the Dongjiang army and Liao people who could not survive were withdrawn to Dengzhou, Shandong for resettlement. Huangshi's righteous brother Kong Youde was one of the generals who retreated south.However, Shandong has also experienced constant disasters in recent years, and life is very difficult.After the sudden influx of so many Liao soldiers and Liao people, due to the competition for land and jobs, a fierce conflict between Liaodong people and Shandong natives was immediately triggered in Dengzhou——the great Dengzhou Rebellion in history , broke out against the backdrop of ethnic division and confrontation.

Kong Youde’s recent letters to Huangshi were full of resentment against the crowding out of Shandong locals, and complaints that the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town fought bloody battles against the Tartars on hungry stomachs in Liaodong, and that they would be rejected and hostile by the locals when they arrived in Shandong. I really don't know who is fighting for... In the letter, there is even a vague meaning that if I can't stay in Shandong, I will go to the south and go to Huangshi...

In fact, Huang Shi, who was also from Dongjiang, was naturally not untouched by the tragic experience of the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town in the past two years.A few years ago, it was hard to protect itself and there was no way. Now that it has been stationed in Quanzhou and overwhelmed the whole of Fujian, Huangshi naturally wanted to help those Dongjiang soldiers and civilians. After a lot of fighting, out of extreme thirst for population and labor, Also, Huangshi has repeatedly promised to rely on his own prestige to peacefully resolve the recruitment problem in Liaodong. The Executive Committee of the Lingao Senate finally passed Huangshi's military and civilian recruitment plan for Dongjiang Town, planning to go north and take Jeju Island in North Korea as a springboard and relay station. , and then transport the hungry people from the remaining islands of Liaodong in Dongjiang Town to the south.At present, a fleet has been assembled in the Penghu Islands one after another, and only waiting for Huangshi to finish handling some of the accumulated affairs in Quanzhou, he will lead the team north to Liaodong to recruit Dongjiang soldiers and civilians.
