Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 805 Sweeping Thousands of Armies 6
Li Shu ignored Heluo Xinjun's strange gaze, and knelt there motionless like a statue.He has experienced many storms in this life, and he still cares about this strange look that doesn't even count as a drizzle?The generals he brought with him were not so honest. It would be impossible for them to stand up and run back to Quanzhou.But it was windy and rainy, and it didn't feel good to kneel all the time, so they shouted at the top of their voices: "General Xue, we know we were wrong! We have come to apologize to you! Please! , come out and meet us!"

Li Shu glared at these idiots, but he didn't open his mouth to blame, but just muttered: "Shame!"

After a lot of noise, Xue Siming finally couldn't sleep anymore, so he came out angrily in a nightgown, staring at the group of generals of the Quanzhou Army who kept screaming: "Howling, howling here early in the morning Howling? It’s so noisy that I can’t sleep, I think you guys just need to clean up!” He raised his big foot and kicked the loudest howling guy somersaults, rolling in muddy water.Probably because people who go back to the cage and fail to sleep are very tempered, and Xue Siming is no exception. He kicked one by one while scolding: "Your grandma, I fought with you for most of the night in the rain last night, and I didn't even sleep." It’s okay to sleep well, but I came here early in the morning crying and howling, deliberately not letting me sleep, right? I really think I can’t deal with you? Huh?” The kick was really hard enough, anyone who was kicked by him He fell into the muddy water and hummed for a long time, unable to get up.The strange thing is that not only did the kicked person show no anger, but he smiled happily, wishing Xue Siming could kick him harder.It's not that they are really so cheap, it's because of their mentality, if they are willing to scold or even kick you in public, it means that the uncle is out of anger and treats you as his own, otherwise how could he kick and scold you so much Simple?Wouldn't it be easier to click directly?

For the surrenderers who have just fought a fierce battle with the enemy and killed many enemy troops, being clicked is something they absolutely do not want to see, and it is not a good thing for the surrendered to be polite to them. There is a saying called "A smile hides a knife", children all know.It is ideal to be kicked hard and scolded a few times. After this kick, the grievances formed on the battlefield will be wiped out.

Xue Siming scolded and kicked them one by one. He hesitated for a moment before he kicked Li Shu, then faced the old man's stubborn gaze and kicked him harder. He cursed angrily: "Don't think that I don't dare to move after you put on such a posture of asking for forgiveness." You! I have fought all over the place from north to south. What kind of enemies have I never encountered? What kind of scenes have I never experienced? How could you fool me? Zheng Zhilong has no law and wants to plunder kind merchants. You too Followed by being a minion for a tiger, this age has been spent on a dog, right?"

Li Shu was kicked so hard that his body fell back, but he did not roll all over the ground like his subordinates. He quickly straightened his back and said in a deep voice: "Although Admiral Zheng has many faults, he still appreciates the old man." I have to repay my kindness no matter what!"

Xue Siming scolded: "Stupid! In order to repay his kindness, even his only son came in? Is there anyone who repays kindness like you?" Seeing that Li Shu was still kneeling there, he became even more angry: "Why are you still kneeling here? I'm still a 20-year-old boy, in good shape? Get up!"

Li Shu didn't get up: "Last night in the battle, my Quanzhou army was convinced that I lost, and I didn't dare to have the slightest intention to be an enemy of the new army. Today, the old man led all the generals to surrender. I don't know how the general plans to deal with our Quanzhou army?"

Xue Siming snorted: "Snakes are hit with sticks, right?"

Li Shu said: "Don't dare, it's just related to the future of my [-] brothers in the Quanzhou Army, I dare not be careless."

Those generals who looked like mud monkeys knelt straight, their ears pricked up higher than the Teletubbies.

Xue Siming was very rude: "Your Quanzhou Army claims to have [-] people. If you can really pull out for long-distance and long-term field battles, it's not bad to have five or six thousand... Except for these five or six thousand elites, all others will be given to you." The sum of money is dismissed, and the Heluo new army does not support idlers!" Looking at the generals with unusually critical eyes, his tone finally softened a little, "The generals you brought out with one hand are not bad, not too bad, but in the end you can stay. How many depends on their ability. Remember, my Heluo new army is always at the forefront of the battlefield, facing the most powerful enemy, and fighting the most tragic bloody battle. Without the awareness of the shroud of horse leather, it is best not to come here to show embarrassment !"

Such an evaluation was harsh, but the generals of the Quanzhou Army did not dare to be dissatisfied at all.My family knows their own affairs, how many troops are there in the mainland of Ming Dynasty that can be drawn out for long-distance and long-distance field battles?Xue Siming actually said that there are five or six thousand elite soldiers among them. Heart more.

Only then did Li Shu get up and send someone back to Quanzhou City to spread the message.Immediately, Quanzhou became a sea of ​​joy. Whether it was the generals and soldiers of Quanzhou or the people of Quanzhou, they cheered and rushed to the city gate to welcome the new army into the city.This scene made the generals of the Quanzhou army who were quite puzzled by Li Shu's actions have to admire the old general's foresight... It was right for him to voluntarily surrender after a battle, no matter whether it was the soldiers or the people of Quanzhou. Support them to fight to the death with the new army of Heluo, if they really want to fight to the death, they will be ruined in the end!It's all right now, the cloud of war has dissipated, and the common people are all smiling. These generals who have guarded Quanzhou for many years also have a good background, so everyone is happy, right?

Xue Siming was also quite satisfied with this. Although hundreds of soldiers died under Quanzhou City, he was able to capture Quanzhou, the most prosperous city in Fujian, in such a short period of time, avoiding a protracted offensive and defensive war, and the people of Quanzhou were not harmed. The damage caused by the war can be regarded as immeasurable merit.After accepting the surrender of the Quanzhou Army, he allowed the Heluo New Army to continue stationed outside the city, while he entered Quanzhou City with only a dozen soldiers, and came to Li Mansion to have a drink with the generals of the Quanzhou Army.His boldness and trust made the generals of the Quanzhou army even more grateful and impressed. The guests and hosts toasted frequently, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

During the banquet, Li Shu suddenly asked Xue Siming: "What is the purpose of the Champion Hou's massive march to the south?"

Xue Siming is also straightforward: "Master Hou believes that now that the sea trade is becoming more and more prosperous, and the southern coastal areas are playing an increasingly prominent role in economic development, he must ensure the smooth flow of trade between the southern provinces and foreign countries. Collecting protection fees, killing and robbing is something he cannot tolerate."

Li Shu raised his eyebrows: "The champion wants to open the sea ban?"

Xue Siming said: "Yes. Anyway, the maritime ban has long existed in name only. It is better to make it formalized. In this way, even ordinary people can try to do business at sea, and the court can also collect some commercial taxes from maritime trade to subsidize the finances. If used, it will actually benefit the country and the people.”

Li Xu said: "The Ming Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, so you can get what you want, why do you need to do business with the barbarians!"

Xue Siming said: "No, there are many good things overseas that we lack, such as seaguano and phosphate rock, such as copper, tin, rubber, wood, spices and even gold and silver. These are precious resources. . Guano and phosphate rock can be used to make phosphate fertilizer, rubber can be used to make carriage tires, and even can be used to encrypt artillery breech blocks, and wood can be used to build ships. As for the use of gold and silver, you all know it without me telling you, right?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Xue Siming also said: "In addition, there is a large amount of unowned fertile land overseas. After the sea ban is opened, farmers with no or little land can be encouraged to go to the open sea to cultivate. In this way, those who cultivate can have their own land, which has troubled the refugees of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years. The problem will be solved easily, isn't it good for the present and beneficial for the future?"

Li Shu sighed in admiration: "It's no wonder that the champion Hou has such achievements at such a young age. With his foresight and long-term vision, if he doesn't succeed, who else can succeed? I am convinced!" Suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "Has the general ever Marriage?"

Xue Siming was taken aback: "What does this mean, old general?"

Li Shu said: "I have a daughter, this year has already passed, and I haven't left the cabinet yet. I see it in my eyes, and I am anxious in my heart! The general is heroic, courageous and resourceful. He is a rare young hero. My daughter has admired the general for a long time. , if the general doesn't mind..."

Xue Siming was overwhelmed by this flattery, and almost nodded, but when he thought of the one at home, he trembled for no reason, quickly reined in his horse, and cupped his hands and said, "I appreciate the kindness of the old general! It's just that I already have a wife." , even the child is about to be born, don't dare to delay Miss Li's life!"

Li Shu was a little disappointed, but quickly said: "It's okay, a man has three wives and four concubines, let's not worry about trivial matters, what a hero the general is, and it is also a blessing from the previous life that the little girl can marry the general and be a common wife."

Xue Siming smiled wryly: "Old General, don't hurt me. The one in my family is jealous. If I dare to have three wives or four wives, she would stab me to death and then wipe my own neck!"

Li Shu was completely disappointed at this time and sighed: "Is it true that my little girl is so lucky and has such a short life? She only has beautiful face, bright mind, and quick thinking, but it is hard to find a good marriage?"

It seemed that the old man was so determined to join him that he even sent his daughter away.Xue Siming rolled his eyes and said, "Old General, if Miss Li really wants to find a rich husband, I can help."

Li Shu cheered up: "Is there any good candidate for the general?"

Xue Siming said: "Yes, he is the most capable counselor around the Marquis, Mr. Li Yanli! He is a scholar, knowledgeable and talented, both civil and military. At a young age, he has become the Marquis's indispensable right-hand man. The most important thing is Yes, Mr. Li has never been married. If Miss Li can have a good relationship with him, she will definitely be a couple of gods and gods. It will be much better than living with me and being an ordinary wife." She said in her heart: "Mr. Li originally had a wife. Yes, it’s a pity that our unreliable boss got in the way and cut her off before we even got married!”

Li Shu was overjoyed: "If this is the case, it is really a blessing for the little girl Sansheng Xiu! I also ask the general to take care of you and thread the needle for me!"

Xue Siming patted his chest boldly: "It's easy to say! Now Mr. Li and Lord Hou have probably arrived in Xiamen. We set off as soon as possible, and maybe we can meet them in time to celebrate in Xiamen. At the celebration banquet, I will introduce it on behalf of Miss Li. Already!"

Li Shu became more and more happy: "All fight, all fight!" He raised his glass to toast Xue Siming. Xue Siming was also in high spirits and drank every glass.He thought he was doing a good deed for his boss - he cut off someone else's wife, so he had to give him some compensation, right?Obviously, Yang Menglong's nerves, which are as thick as steel bars, would not have thought of this, so he had to figure it out!
On the flagship of the Cybertron, the sun was shining brightly, and the sea was as hot as a steamer, but Li Yan, Yang Menglong, and Hong Niangzi sneezed for no reason at the same time!
