Seeing that the people on the left and right had retreated, Ao Bai lowered his voice and said: "Shi Junmen, in the battle of Wuchang, the Ruhu Guangshui Division is only allowed to win but not to lose!" The battle of Yuezhou was lost, and someone played to impeach you! Pressed down by the old man! If the battle of Wuchang is defeated again, the old man will not be able to protect you! ”

Shi Lang was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect someone to put the blame for the fiasco of the Battle of Yuezhou on his head. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info However, the Qing army was defeated in the battle of Yuezhou, and Shi Lang also had an inextricable relationship, if it weren't for the defeat of the water division in the battle of Dongting Lake, Yuezhou City would not be in danger, and it would not have made Jackie Chan suddenly come up with a plan to take advantage of the rain to attack the Ming army's barracks.

In fact, that plan was very immature, the Qing army was not prepared at all, and it was impossible for Aobai to fight an underprepared battle. It was only after the defeat of Dongting Lake that Ao Bai had the intention to give up Yuezhou, so he agreed to send some troops to gamble.

The result of the gambling was of course a loss, but it did not affect the overall situation, the main force of the Qing army, the Eight Banners and the Huguang Green Battalion, did not suffer much loss, most of the losses were Xiangyong, Yuezhou Minzhuang and auxiliary soldiers, in fact, there was no injury to the Wuchang defenders.

But someone made a fuss and impeached Shi Lang.

The person who impeached Shi Lang was Shang Shan, the former commander of the Huguang Water Division, who was replaced by Shi Lang, he was a real Manchurian banner man, and the fat shortage of the Admiral of the Water Division was snatched away by Shi Lang, so he was naturally unwilling. As a result, Shi Lang was defeated, and Shang Shan took the opportunity to impeach Shi Lang together with Zhangtai Belle.

Aixin Jueluo Zhangtai Belle, is a wine bag and rice bag, purely a son-in-law, the second generation of officials, holding a copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms all day long and thinking that he is familiar with military books, and he really fights, and he is not bullshit.

It just so happened that Shang Shan wanted to regain the position of Admiral of the Navy and promised to give Zhangtai benefits, so Zhangtai agreed and wrote a letter to the court.

Ao Bai knew about this, and he didn't have anything to do with Zhangtai, after all, Zhangtai was a royal family. Although Ao Bai is powerful, unless he wants to rebel, it is impossible for him to attack the royal family.

Shi Lang knew that he had been impeached and was saved by Aobai, so he knelt down and bowed: "Thank you Taishi for saving me!" Taishi! The position of Admiral of the Navy Division can only be held by the last general! ”

Ao Bai shook his head and said: "Shi Junmen, the old man understands this!" You are the best admiral of the water division in my Qing Dynasty! No one can replace you! Ay! Suke Saha's wine bag and rice bag actually killed Zheng Zhilong's family, which made my army passive! If Zheng Zhilong is still alive and the thieves have scruples, at least Zheng Cong's people will shrink back when they start a war. Now it's okay, Zheng Cong and Zheng Xi can't wait to avenge Zheng Zhilong! ”

"Taishi, if the Huguang Water Division Wuchang is defeated, the last general will definitely be martyred!" Shi Lang stood up and arched his hand.

Ao Bai continued: "The northern Rakshasas invaded and attacked the Empress Dowager's Korqin Department, and at the beginning of this year, the Korqin Department was attacked by the Rakshasas and suffered heavy losses. The news we got from North Korea is that Zheng Xi's people are colluding with the Rakshasas! Now Zheng Xi is also eager to avenge his father! This thief led his men to attack North Korea and seize Jeju Island! He also sent sailors to the north to collude with the Japanese and the Rakshasas! It's hateful! ”

Shi Lang seemed to understand something: "No wonder the thief's war horse is tall and mighty, the last general originally thought it was an Arab horse, but later found that it was not like it, but it seemed to be a mixture of sweat and blood horses in the Western Regions and ordinary war horses." In this way, those war horses should be the war horses of the Rakshasas. ”

"Not bad!" Ao Bai nodded, "It's a Rakshasa war horse, when the Mongol Empire went west, it conquered the Rakshasa people and brought Mongolian war horses, many of which are hybrid horses of Mongolian horses and Arabian horses." After arriving in the Rakshasa country, those hybrid horses were interbred with the war horses of the Taixi people, and this was the Rakshasa war horse. ”

When it comes to those Don hippos, Ao Bai's heart is itching, each of those horses is tall and mighty, the color is fiery red, and it has the hard-working of Mongolian horses, and the tall and mighty Arabian horses, which is an excellent war horse.

Of course, Ao Bai also knew about Arabian horses, which were taller, faster, sprintable, and carried more weight. Some high-ranking generals of the Qing army or generals of the imperial family, many of them had Arab horses from the Western Regions. It was a good horse, but it was not suitable for large-scale cavalry.

The Arabian horse is too delicate, how many people do you need to serve an Arabian horse, but also give it good food, and it is easy to get sick, and the cold tolerance is poor, that kind of horse is much more delicate than people.

The Don hippopotamus does not have those shortcomings, but is as easy to raise as the Mongolian horse, and it is particularly hardy.

……

Four hundred miles away, Yuezhou City, the Ming army that had just occupied Yuezhou City was reinforcing the city wall and building a land division camp and a water division camp around Yuezhou City.

There will be no attack before the autumn, and the attack time is according to the rules of the year: after the autumn. In addition to the fact that the climate is suitable for heavy armor, there are also sufficient food reserves. In the war of that year, the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and grain was the key, and Hunan will definitely have a bumper harvest this year.

Although the Ming army had a lot of grain stocks, they were a strategic reserve and would not be used casually unless necessary.

In addition, during the truce, ships can be repaired, new weapons can be crafted, and ammunition can be replenished. The recruits must also be trained, and the newly captured territory must also be slowly digested and absorbed.

At that time, the people, especially in the countryside, mainly relied on the gentry class to control. These gentry are equivalent to local grassroots officials such as village chiefs and township heads, and it is precisely because of them that they can maintain order at the grassroots level of the people. If there is no gentry class, Wang Xinyu wants to send village officials by himself, just the expenditure of Yulu is not a small amount.

At present, the reform of the official system has been carried out in the area under Wang Xinyu's control, and not only the officials have a salary, but also the minor officials, government officials, and arresters.

Originally, in the Ming Dynasty, the officials in the yamen did not have a salary, and as for the master and the like, their salaries were paid to them by the magistrates. And the magistrate's Yulu, to be honest, can't even support himself, and he has to pay for his master? So where does the money come from? Naturally, it is greedy.

The official's salary is not low, but he has to pay attention to it, and he has to support his master, coachman and groom, and a large group of people, where is the money enough?

As for the small officials in the yamen, if the court does not pay money, how will they live? can only make money from the people. Ordinary officials go to the township to measure the land, collect taxes, perform official duties, etc., and have income. The gentry in the village will also spend money to bribe the officials, in fact, to feed them in disguise.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to uproot the gentry class, not only would it be necessary to increase the number of officials, but also to be prepared to pay all kinds of village officials and township heads, and the sum of those money would be a lot of money. (To be continued.) )
