Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Dorgon, who was dedicated to the Qing Dynasty, was counterattacking the Ming army at the top of the city.

He had no idea that the girl he had longed for his whole life and finally had a happy marriage with was planning his life.

Life is impermanent, nothing more than that.

……

Outside Beijing.

The mounds that had been piled up two feet high were covered with large carts.

Thick wooden boards were erected on the front end of the cart.

This is the van.

The soldiers lay down behind the carriage, their guns resting on the wooden planks, aiming at the city head.

As long as the Qing soldiers at the top of the city dared to show their heads, they would be greeted by a hail of bullets.

The Fuhan gun improved by Bi Maokang and Bi Maoliang not only has a long range, but also has excellent accuracy.

The Ming army gunners were even more fed by bullets.

As long as you are willing to shoot bullets, you will become familiar with marksmanship...

A sharpshooter who can hit a target from a hundred meters cannot do it, but a "edge master" who points his nose and hits his chest can still do it easily.

Tricky bullets will lift the lid of every Qing army that dares to show its face.

The erected wooden boards of the van in the first row were covered with two layers of cooked cowhide, with a layer of iron sheets nailed inside.

The protective power is amazing.

After all, Zhu Youjian's requirement for armor is that it can withstand the bullets fired by Fuhan Gun.

Two-inch-thick wooden boards were installed on the carriage to block the soldiers.

The arrows and projectiles fired from the city were like a violent storm, but they were unable to drive away the thick cart.

On the contrary, the sparse rain of bullets from the Ming army outside the city was able to knock down most of the Qing army.

……

The Ming army set up a van array on the mound and asked the soldiers to hide behind the vans and shoot the Qing troops.

Behind the mound, as far as the eye can see, civilian workers are excavating soil on the old site of Yuan Dadu.

Every time a bag was filled, someone immediately carried it on their shoulders and ran towards the mound.

According to the method Li Laiheng learned under Li Zicheng, this was originally to coerce the people into becoming cannon fodder.

but……

Daming is rich!

Isn't it more efficient to hire civilian laborers with money than forced cannon fodder?

What's more, the emperor strictly prohibited harming the people.

Forcing people to be cannon fodder is a massacre of evil!

No one wants to bear the burden of murder.

What's more, Li Laiheng was famous for his benevolent governance when Kuidong was in power.

Most of the areas where the Thirteen Families of Kuidong operated were in the steep mountains of Songshan Mountain.

Speaking of place names, if you are not a history or geography buff, it is difficult to know the directions.

The Kuidong Thirteen Families operate in an area ranging from Wudang Mountain to the north, Zhangjiajie to the south, and the Three Gorges to the west, and even operate in the Shennongjia area.

Although the Thirteen Families of Kuidong once controlled nearly [-] counties.

It seems like the territory is quite big...

But in a mountainous county, where is the money and food?

however--

Under the leadership of Li Laiheng, the thirteen families in Kuidong enjoyed frequent commerce and prosperity, and even the majority of families had a surplus of food!

Even in history books, such words are used - "Don't pick up lost things on the road, don't close your house at night!"

From this, it is clear that Li Laiheng is not a murderous person.

This is not only the case where Li Laiheng is in charge, but also where Li Dingguo is in charge!

In the areas controlled by the remnants of Dashun and Daxi, people's livelihood far surpassed those under the control of the Qing court.

It even achieved a "prosperous age" within its jurisdiction.

……

Li Laiheng knew that the emperor was not short of money.

The emperor spent tens of millions of silver dollars to develop his five-year plan!

Li Laiheng directly asked the soldiers to post a notice, recruiting civilian husbands at the price of ten copper coins per bag of soil.

Although the army promised, few people were willing to believe it.

However, what is most indispensable in this world is bold people.

When the first person to eat the crab really got the money, the people came in droves.

……

"Come and get the lottery tickets!"

The military judge standing on the mound held a large number of bamboo chips in his hand. Every time the people poured out the soil, he would pass one of the bamboo chips up to him.

"Haha, Brother Zhang, how much money have you made today?"

There was a thin man, struggling to carry a bag of soil, but with a smile on his face.

However, before the man called "Brother Zhang" could reply, a military judge yelled:

"Don't delay, hurry up and go!

That kid, you don’t want your life, right? "

The thin man was scolded, but he laughed, walked to the designated location, and poured the soil on the ground.

"Crack, bang, bang!"

At this moment, bursts of gunfire came from the top of the city.

The Qing soldiers hid behind the female wall and aimed their guns at the peasants transporting soil.

"Ouch! I've been shot...Help, help..."

Someone cried.

Behind the van, soldiers rushed out quickly, dragging the injured civilian husband towards the back of the van.

He was still shouting:

"Military doctor!

Military doctor!

There are people injured!

Call the medic! "

The sudden attack made the civilian husband who was originally smiling suddenly panic.

Someone threw down the soil bag and turned around to run away.

However, when he saw that only one person was injured and the imperial army rescued him immediately, he felt relieved.

The sudden change did not frustrate the thin man's steps at all.

He didn't care at all, he just bent down, took the bamboo stick handed by the military judge, and ran quickly towards the meeting.

die?

What a shit!

General Li said——

Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous. If a civilian is unfortunately shot, your Majesty's military medical officer will be responsible for free treatment.

During the period of recuperation, the army was responsible for all food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there was also a daily recuperation fee of five copper coins.

If someone is unfortunately killed, in addition to providing funeral expenses, 10 silver coins will be given at one time, and priority can be given to moving to a safe area.

He all understood that the safe area the emperor was talking about was referring to the place that His Majesty the Emperor still controls.

It’s paradise there!

……

The panic disappeared.

The peasants picked up the earth bags on the ground and did not ask for help from others to lift them.

More than a hundred kilograms of soil was carried on his shoulders with a casual wave.

"Brothers, make money!"

The peasants chatted and laughed, and trotted towards the highest point of the mound.

……

Seeing that the attack was effective, other Qing troops wanted to follow suit, gave up shooting at the Ming troops, and pointed their guns at civilians.

However, as soon as they emerged from the van, they heard a burst of gunshots as crisp as fried beans coming from behind the van.

"Crackling!"

A dozen Qing soldiers had two bullet holes in their heads...

Rubbles flew from the top of the city, and craters were punched into the uneven parapets.

The Qing troops all shrank their heads.

……

The thin man happily got the bamboo stick and held it tightly in his hand. After running behind the slope, he carefully reached into his arms and took out a cloth bag.

The bag is bulging, and a lot of bamboo sticks can be seen at a glance.

He put the bamboo stick into the bag, opened the bag and took a look.

"Old Wu, how much money have you earned today?"
