Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

In fact, these government soldiers did not have the necessary training and no equipment, and they were at the level of the people.

"Okay!" Wu Yingxiong nodded, "Then immediately mobilize the government soldiers. After the two generals Wang, General Ba, and Jiangling's government soldiers are mobilized, you three will train them... If you need any weapons, go to the arsenal of the Ministry of War take!

Within two months, Jiangling government soldiers must be trained into an army! "

"Order!"

Wang Gongliang, Ba Yangyuan, and Wang Xu also took orders immediately.

They are actually not the people Wu Yingxiong entrained, but now Wu Sangui was poisoned by Zhu Heqi, and Zhu Ming's army will come to Hubei at any time... This is not the time for a split!

Wu Yingxiong then said to Wang Shirong: "Shirong, you and my son Shilin will go to the front of the Henan Army together... Tell Ying Qi and the former generals of the Henan Army about my father being poisoned by Zhu Heqi, and ask Ying Qi , Guogui returned to Jiangling to preside over the important event together."

He then said to his son Wu Shilin: "Shilin, the death of your grandfather is not only a catastrophe for our family, but also a catastrophe for our country... The national crisis is the first, we can't just be sad and forget the danger of subjugation.

So you don’t come back with your second uncle and third uncle, you stay in front of the Henan army, and guard the country’s borders with your big brother Shicong... Remember, your big brother Shicong is the commander in chief of the army, you are just a counselor. "

Wu Shilin reluctantly looked at his deceased grandfather, wiped his tears and replied: "My child knows, my child listens to Big Brother Shi Cong in everything."

After watching the performance of the father and son, Wang Shirong felt a little bit better—Wu Yingxiong was asking his own son to be a hostage beside Wu Shicong in exchange for Wu Yingqi's admission to Jiangling.

And as long as Wu Yingqi is willing to come to Jiangling, then Wu Yingxiong's position will be secure!

Thinking of this, Wang Shirong asked again: "My lord, do you have any explanation for what happened before the Henan Army?"

Wu Yingxiong shook his head: "Everything is up to Ying Qi!"

Wang Shirong heaved a sigh of relief, and he also admired Wu Yingxiong's tricks!

Wu Yingqi got Wu Shilin as a hostage, and he has full power in front of the Henan Army, and he can also leave Wu Shicong in power in front of the Henan Army, so why worry?

As long as Wu Yingqi went back to Jiangling and was coaxed by his most coaxing brother, he would probably happily wait to become "Wu Di".

However, Zhu Di also recognized Zhu Yunqi first, and then forced him to rebel... If Zhu Yunqi had Wu Yingxiong's tricks to coax people, would Zhu Di still rebel?

Chapter 466 More and more like the Three Kingdoms

At the beginning of February of the first year of Ming Wang Jianguo, Yingtianfu, Nanjing.

This number one city in the southeast, which declined rapidly after the fall of the former tomorrow, has become prosperous at a speed visible to the naked eye since the end of last year with the arrival of the new Ming Dynasty.It is no exaggeration to say that this city is like some kind of magical power, attracting money, materials, and people from the four provinces of the new Ming Dynasty. In the past three or four months, there have been crowds of Groups of "new Nanjingers" came by boat, car, or on foot with their families, and became part of the city.

With the gathering of the population, the demolition and construction has begun in full swing!

Nanjing Yingtianfu was a metropolis with a population of more than 100 million and developed handicrafts and commerce in the Ming Dynasty.The urban area is huge, and enough blocks and houses have been built.However, after being ruled by the Qing Dynasty for more than 20 years, due to the sharp drop in population, many houses were left unmaintained, and now there are dilapidated houses everywhere.Only along the Qinhuai River in the inner city is a little more decent.

Facing this big and dilapidated city, Zhu Heqi of course resorted to the method of demolishing it first and then rebuilding it.First, enclose all the "urban wasteland" except the areas on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and relocate the few residents inside to the banks of the Qinhuai River.Then plan and dismantle.

And Nanjing Imperial City, Tianwang Mansion, Xinjun Daying, Gongchenfang, Daxuefang, Weaving Workshop, Gold and Silver Workshop and other major projects, as well as the river dredging and road repairing projects in Yingtianfu, and the restoration project of Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zijin Mountain , also began to work one after another.

In order to support Yingtianfu's "large-scale demolition and reconstruction", Zhu Heqi also asked people to search for clay and limestone everywhere in Yingtianfu to prepare for the construction of cement factories and red brick factories.

And this series of big jobs naturally provided opportunities for the "new Nanjingers" who gathered in Yingtianfu City to make a fortune, start a business and support their families.

It also makes the whole city full of thriving vitality!

If it wasn't for the ringing of horseshoe bells on the streets of Yingtianfu's inner city from time to time, and the passing of the cavalry from the military division's mansion delivering emergency military reports, the residents of this eastern metropolis would have thought that I am already in a world of peace and prosperity!

However, the people in New Nanjing are still a little surprised—is the new Ming court really so rich?While still fighting against the Qing Dynasty, they also set up such a large stall in Nanjing City.I heard that there are no less big jobs in Guangzhou than in Nanjing, and it has been going on for two or three years without any signs of ending.

In the midst of people's puzzled eyes, a few legendary riders galloped eastward all the way, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the yamen of the Military Advisor's Mansion on West Chang'an Avenue outside the Nanjing Imperial City.

After a while, I saw Zuo Chunqiu, the right deputy military adviser who was on duty at the military adviser's office today, riding a horse in a hurry, leading a few entourages towards the right gate of Chang'an in Nanjing Imperial City.

At the same time, two small staff officers trotted all the way out of the military division's mansion, heading towards the Zhongshu Prime Minister's mansion and the Ministry of War, which are also outside the gate of the imperial city, and three or four staff officers simply rode out of the military division's mansion. Mansion, go straight to several grants by the Qinhuai River!

……

When the plaque Zuo Chunqiu asked to see was handed over to Zhu Heqi, His Royal Highness Jian Guoming was in a large courtyard next to Bei'anmen Inner Street in the north of the Nanjing Imperial City, picking out the "Weaver Girl Palace" plaque. What about the "Weaver Girl" with both color and art!

Of course, his criteria for selecting people is still craftsmanship... As for the appearance and figure, he has no requirements.

But how many sycophants in Nanzhili and Zhejiang counties know how to do things?The Jiangnan region of Southern Zhili and Zhejiang Province have always been rich in silk and cloth, and some of them are "Weaver Girls" who can raise silkworms, reel, spin, and weave cloth, and their craftsmanship is similar to those officials...

However, Zhu Hexi still interviewed these "Weaver Girls" who were selected and sent from various places in the south of the Yangtze River very seriously, and then assigned them to engage in various fields such as mulberry planting, sericulture, silk reeling, silk weaving, printing and dyeing, and ready-made clothing according to their special skills. type of work.In addition, some young widows from small and medium-sized silk merchants and silk merchants will be selected to form sales, research and development, personnel and financial departments.

This time, Zhu Hechi is going to build a whole silk industry chain...from mulberry planting to fashion design, garment production and product sales.

Of course, he didn't do all this to make money, but to improve the technology and promote the development of the industry.

The so-called Zhinu Palace is actually a textile research institute, and perhaps it can also be regarded as a high-tech textile company.

In order to improve the technology, of course, we must first find out the technical cards of the new Daming silk industry chain.

It is not easy to figure out these trump cards, because each faction likes to hide their own things, and does not welcome the intervention of large foreign capital such as Zhu Hechi.

If Zhu Hechi wanted to force the mulberry households, silkworm households, machine households, and silk merchants below to hand over their technology, I am afraid they would not get the real thing.

That's why he came up with such a bad strategy...by "cheat" widows who are knowledgeable in all walks of life in the silk industry chain into the palace, and "cheat" the entire industry chain into his hands!

Then get a thorough understanding first, and then improve.In the process of improvement, we can also train and inspect those widows to see who among them has the ability to manage and operate, and who is more suitable for technology... In the future, we can also release them from the palace and give them "venture capital" and technology. , help them build sales channels and financing channels, support them to start a business, and let them earn a lot of profits for the Zhinu Palace...

What a genius idea!

Looking at all the Jiangnan women who are pleasing in appearance, seem to have good craftsmanship, and are quite clever in mind, Zhu Heqi really admires his IQ!

After all, he is a genius who can discuss calculus with Leibniz. He really can have genius-like ideas for everything!

When he was proud, Ni Niang, who had just been elected as the Weaver Maid Palace a month and a half ago, moved lightly with lotus steps, came to Zhu Heqi, and made a blessing.

This Mrs. Ni is only in her twenties, and she is from the Songjiang Mansion. She was originally a child bride-in-law of a small silk merchant's family.When she grew up, she was slim and graceful, with picturesque features, and became a very outstanding beauty.But her husband died of illness early, before he was even old enough to consummate the house.

Such a beauty, but still a little widow... You can imagine how much right and wrong there is in front of the door!

When the little widow saw the Great Sage Zhu, of course she liked him, so she smiled before saying anything, and looked at Zhu and Qi timidly with her big talking eyes, making her face turn red.

Seeing her smiling and not speaking, Zhu Heqi was also a little anxious, so he asked, "Amei Ni, what's the matter, please tell me quickly!"

After being reminded by him, the court lady remembered what she was here for.

"Your Highness, the right military division has just handed over a sign to see you... Hurry up!"

"What?" Zhu Heqi was taken aback for a moment, and his face suddenly became serious. What time is it now?Hurry up?

"Sister Ling," Zhu Heqi turned his head and said to Da Boling, who had just been named the Noble Concubine of the Weaving Girl Palace, "You take charge, the lonely family has to go to the Hall of Martial Heroes!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up, took Ni Niangzi and two attendants and military officers, and quickly walked out of Zhinu Palace.

The distance from Zhinu Palace to Wuying Hall is not close. When Zhu Heqi arrived, the left prime minister of Zhongshu Zhuge Sanhe, the right prime minister of Zhongshu Yu Zhongxian, the left minister of the Ministry of War (Shangshu of the Army Department) Su Yong, and the right minister of the Ministry of War Chen Shangchuan It's all here.

When these people saw Zhu and Qi, they bowed to him together, and then they heard Zuo Chunqiu be the first to speak: "His Royal Highness, I just arrived in Jiangxi six hundred miles to rush... Wu Sangui is dead!"

"What? Wu Sangui died?" Zhu Heqi was taken aback, "How did he die?"

"He was poisoned to death!" Zhuge Sanhe said calmly, "Wu Yingxiong said that we poisoned his father... It seems that Wu Zhou is planning to make us our enemy!"

Zhu Heqian snorted: "Once the old Wu died, the two Wus fought... This is the book of the Yuan family in Hebei! Interesting, it looks more and more like the Three Kingdoms!"

Chapter 467 The Bad Is That Everyone Has a Copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"

As soon as Zhu Heqi mentioned the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Sanhe, who had already become the Prime Minister of Zhuge, immediately got excited, and said along the script of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms": "My lord, I heard that Wu Yingxiong is good at manipulating people's hearts, and Wu Yingqi is the leader of the three armies." If these two brothers are united as one, Wu and Zhou's national power will be unshakable. If we push too hard, the two Wu brothers will join hands. We might as well ignore them for the time being and concentrate on deploying troops in Jiangbei. In this way, the two Wu brothers will inevitably join forces. After killing each other and hurting both sides, it will be easy to deal with them."

Zhu Heqi nodded repeatedly, "The prime minister's method is not bad... But the Er Wu brothers probably have read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", right? They should know that they won't be smarter if they take Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan's books? What should we do if we don’t kill each other? Just wait?”

Prime Minister Zhuge was stunned by Zhu Heqi's question, unable to answer for a while, and he also complained to Luo Guanzhong in his heart...why write so many conspiracies and tricks?It made it difficult for the military division to eat this bowl of rice.

Zhu Heqi then asked the military adviser Zuo Chunqiu, "Chunqiu, what did our spies in ambush in Jiangling say? What poisoned Wu Sangui to death?"

Zuo Chunqiu said: "Wu Sangui had diarrhea and was poisoned to death after eating the allicin from the Nanjing Public Medical Hall... It is said that someone put fugu poison in the allicin."

"What?" Zhu Heqi became angry when he heard this, "Isn't this a blow to my golden brand of allicin? That stuff is much more expensive than gold!"

In Zhu Heqi's industry, allicin is definitely the most expensive thing... It's much more expensive than perfume with the same production process!

But that's what it should be. Putting an antibiotic of the level of allicin in the 17th century is definitely "selling life". For the rich and powerful, what is more expensive than life?

Moreover, after two or three years of development, the extraction process and packaging process of allicin (if the packaging is not easy to deteriorate) has become more and more mature, and the output is also increasing.It also established two pharmaceutical factories, Guangzhou Gongyitang and Nanjing Gongyitang, which produce and sell allicin.

In addition, Zhu Heqi also made a name for himself through the initial donation of medicines to doctors, later large-scale military use, and low-cost treatment medicines in Guangzhou Public Hospitals!

So since last year, public medical halls in Guangzhou have started selling high-priced hardcover versions of allicin to make money.

The branch of the public medical hall in Nanjing has been selling high-priced allicin from the day it opened... The good business has just begun, and Wu Yingxiong jumped out and said that his father died of eating allicin!

The money earned from selling allicin was not pocketed by Zhu Hechi himself, but was mainly used to support the medical and educational undertakings of the original Confucian school.

Wu Yingxiong's creation of allicin is destroying Confucianism's education and medical care... It's a heinous crime!

Since this Wu Yingxiong is a heinous villain, then Wu Sangui must have been killed by him—only a heinous villain can do the bad thing of poisoning his own father!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi felt that he had discovered the truth about Wu Sangui's murder!

"Wu Sangui must have been poisoned to death by his son Wu Yingxiong!" Zhu Heqi snorted, and said, "Wu Sangui asked Wu Yingqi to lead an army of [-] troops to the Central Plains, and it was clear that he wanted to pass the throne to Wu Yingqi... Otherwise, how could he? Hand over all the soldiers of the country to Wu Yingqi? By the way, did Wu Yingqi win the battle at Zhuxian Town?"

"We won the battle!" Zuo Chunqiu took out a copy of the letter from the Jiangxi Qianhu Office of the Right Division of the Military Advisor's Office, and handed it to Zhu Heqi's attendant, Yan Yuan, "Your Majesty, this came with the news of Wu Sangui's death! The day before Wu Sangui's death, Wu Yingqi Lubu Feijie reported the results of the battle in Zhuxian Town... Kangxi was defeated and begged for mercy, and ceded Kaifeng Mansion, Nanyang Mansion, Henan Mansion, Runing Mansion, Ruzhou, Xuzhou, Shanzhou, etc. The land of four prefectures and three states!

In addition, the army led by Kangxi had all retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River on January [-]! "

Zhu Hechi laughed and said: "Sure enough! Wu Yingxiong must be afraid that Wu Sangui will deprive him of his inheritance rights, so he acted first... How should we deal with it? Should we unite with Wu Yingqi to deal with this rebellious Wu Yingxiong?"

"Your Majesty," Su Yong, Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of War, reminded, "You are using this move similar to Cao Mengde's method in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This is joining Yuan Tan to fight Yuan Shang!"

Yup!

Zhu Hexi said heartily: "Old Luo! Lao Luo...you are too good at writing. You have written these conspiracies and plots into stories, so that everyone knows!"

"Your Majesty," Zhuge Sanhe said, waving his goose-feather fan, "how about we play a different game... together with Wu Yingqi to fight Kangxi!

Although Wu Yingxiong didn't have much military power before, he was Wu Zhou's prime minister and held Wu Zhou's civil affairs and financial power.

Although Wu Yingqi has an army of [-], his territory is only the four prefectures and three prefectures that Kangxi had just ceded.This piece of land is not considered too big, and it cannot support his [-] troops at all.Moreover, these four prefectures and three states are still located in the Central Plains, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there is no danger to defend.Wu Yingqi couldn't last long with such a small territory... If he didn't want to be Yuan Tan, he had to find another place!

We might as well give them gold, silver, sugar and medicine, and let them go west to Shaanxi.This can not only break Kangxi's arm, but also threaten Wu Yingxiong's back.Maybe when Wu Yingqi has Shaanxi territory, he will send troops to attack Wu Yingxiong.As long as the Wu family's army fights among themselves, the time will come for the king to rule the Southern Dynasty. "

"This is a clever plan!" Zhu Hexi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Ganshan is barren, but the poor mountains and rivers produce elite soldiers! If Wu Yingqi acquired Ganshan and Shanxi, Kangxi would lose a source of cheap and powerful soldiers. Already!"

In fact, Zhuge Sanhe's strategy is not very good, but it is just that Zhu Heqi's new Ming court has money and sugar, and they forcibly came up with a clever plan!

Zhu Heqi paused, and then said, "But we can't reach Wu Yingqi yet! Who can take a trip to Huaixi?"

Su Yong, Minister of the Ministry of War, had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and immediately said to Zhu Heqi: "My lord, give me three divisions, and I will be able to take all the land in Huaixi within a month!"

Zhu Hechi nodded: "There are four divisions in Anqing, which were originally used to guard against Wu Sangui, but they are no longer needed, and they are all under your command... Counting from tomorrow, I will have all the original Anhui provinces within a month. The land of Huainan! Also, give me a passage to Runing Mansion within 20 days!"

"I'm taking the order!" Su Yong was also straightforward, and then said to Zhu Hechi, "I'm leaving tomorrow... and ask the navy to send a fast boat!"

Zhu Heqi said to Chen Shangchuan: "Arrange the fastest ship to send Su Shangshu to his post! In addition, prepare ten [-]-stone sand boats to transport silver and sugar to the Longjiangkou Wharf to stand by."

"The minister accepts the order!" Chen Shangchuan, the right minister in charge of the navy, also accepted Zhu Heqi's order neatly.

Zhu Heqian nodded and said, "Yan Yuan, you come to draw up the edict...Prime Minister, Master Qi, when Yan Yuan draws up the order, you immediately sign the edict to the Ministry of War, the Military Commander's Office, and the Commander of the Navy, and send it to Su Shangshu today. It will be sent to his house tonight!"

Yan Yuan, Zhuge Sanhe, and Yu Zhongxian had no objection to Zhu Heqi's order, and immediately began to draft and sign the edict, and within a short while, all the edicts were completed.

Now the new Ming court implements an administrative system in which the left and right prime ministers assist the prime minister and supervise the country. Official edicts of the imperial court must be issued by the supervisor or an agent designated by the supervisor with the signature of the left and right prime ministers.There is no supervisor of ceremonies, and no six subjects for Shizhong.

In other words, Zhu Heqi, Zhuge Sanhe, and Yu Zhongxian combined together can rule the world.Such administrative efficiency is quite high!

However, the power of the 11-member Grand Scholars Group was limited to legislation, law amendments, the appointment of the Grand Scholars (the left and right ministers must be Grand Scholars), and the revision of Confucian classics.

As for the permanent meeting of the Advisory Council, it only has the right to consult, negotiate, and seal secrets, and cannot directly interfere with the administration and judiciary.

Chapter 468 Kang Mazi fainted from crying in Bada Hutong!

When Zhu Heqi learned that Wu Sangui's family had taken "the script of the Yuan family in Hebei" and planned to use the method of driving tigers and wolves to drive Wu Yingqi to swallow Emperor Kangxi's Shaanxi-Gansu land, Kangxi and Kang Mazi had already returned to that place. The city of Beijing that made his heart bleed!

Oh, he hasn't entered the city yet, and now he is riding his horse and standing outside Yongding Gate in a daze.

The [-] to [-] Chen Baqi's disciples who ran back day and night with him, all of them were like Kangxi... they were eager to return home, but when they reached the door of their house, they dared not go in again!

Because they now know that when they went out to fight Wu Sangui's Northern Expedition army, their hometown was attacked by the despicable and shameless Chahar Mongols... Although those despicable and shameless Chahar Mongols have been killed The troops mobilized by the Empress Dowager and Prince Gong drove away, and the inner city of Beijing was restored.

But are the homes of these old Baqi children still there?

Home...you have to have family members, parents, wives and children. If there is only one courtyard house "within the second ring road", can it still be considered a home?

And even if there are some left over from the wife and children, what about the family property?Those who have worked so hard to be greedy, and returned the money that the old man at home robbed when he was begging with the old masters, will it be cheaper for the Mongols now?

But don't go back and look, there is nothing but a courtyard house "inside the second ring road"... Can't you cry to death?

"The emperor is back! Woohoo..."

"Your Majesty, we expect you to come back..."
