This decree determines the fate of each person. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhu Dadian predicted his future very accurately, and he was promoted by one level in the false title and stayed as the governor of Shandong; Xie Sanbin got his wish, jumped three levels in a row from the patrol to the imperial history, and directly ascended to the position of the governor of Denglai; The people of the Guanning Army also have their own rewards, Zu Dabi is already the deputy general of Liaodong, and the general soldier is his eldest brother Zu Dashou, and the official position cannot be promoted, and he was named a Dingguo general from the second rank, and Wu Sangui was promoted from guerrilla to the general of the right battalion of the forward.

The most depressed is the summer south, the general soldier who originally thought it was a certainty, in the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck and became a deputy general, although he added the governor of Guangzhou, but this is just a false title, and it is far from what was originally expected.

"This is equivalent to a commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, who has become a deputy commander and political commissar of the military division, and the number one has become a deputy position, do you say that it is hateful?"

In the South Park Chamber, Xia Nan complained to Lin Weiye.

Lin Weiye said calmly: "Calm, you are not bad at this." Besides, what you said is not right, even if you set up a military town in Qiongzhou as you envisioned, it will be at most the commander of the Hainan Military Division, and it is different from the Guangzhou Military Region. ”

Xia Nan puffed out his eyes and looked at his old partner: "Did I say it was for Yulu?" Can ten years of Yulu catch up with the day's turnover of Bofu Tax? With a higher official position, it is more convenient for me to act within the system, and I am subject to fewer constraints, do you understand? ”

"Okay, okay, how could I not understand, but to comfort you." Lin Weiye persuaded, "Besides, you have changed from an unknown Qiongzhou general to a deputy general of Guangdong all of a sudden, and you have the title of governor of Guangzhou, which is not bad." ”

Xia Nan sighed, pulled out a piece of letterhead, and said, "If you add this letter, in fact, I have nothing to complain about, things are already better than I imagined." ”

Lin Weiye asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?" Who gave you this letter? ”

"This is a letter sent by Xie Sanbin, the future old Taishan and the new governor of Denglai. The letter said that if it weren't for the mediation of Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, Chongzhen would have transferred me to the Shenji Battalion as a big soldier, and if this is the case, I will either obediently go to the capital and wait for the second generation of officials to torture me to death, or I can only resist the will and disrespect the will, and pull the flag to rebel. In contrast, giving a shrunken reward is a blessing in misfortune. Xia Nan rejoiced, "Fortunately, the 10,000 taels of silver were delivered in time, otherwise, if Chongzhen gave me this trick, all my plans would be disrupted - it is not a good time to openly rebel now." ”

"That's just as well." Lin Weiye nodded, and then asked, "You didn't call me here today just to complain, right?" With so many refugees entering the country, you should be so busy that your feet don't touch the ground, how can you have the spare time to be hypocritical with me here? ”

"The affairs of the hungry people have been arranged a long time ago, reclamation, military cantonment, and personnel diversion according to their specialties, and there is a plan in advance, and it is necessary to do it step by step. If I had to ask about everything, I wouldn't be a good boss. Xia Nan said, "I called you here today to make an arms deal with the Guan Ning Army." ”

"I've heard about this, isn't it true that firearms are exchanged for war horses?"

"Yes, but I don't want to sell my housekeeper's gear to those warlords. These people are all vested interests, and even if they don't face us head-on in the future, they will never be our allies, so you have to think of a way to make some monkey versions of the guys come out, but you can't let them see it at a glance - I need war horses, and there is only a reliable channel for the Ning army in front of me, and the apparent harmony still needs to be maintained. ”

"You're asking for a lot." Lin Weiye groaned, "Mountain artillery is easy to do, just like fooling Zheng Zhilong at the beginning, just get some white-mouthed iron cast cannons, and after more than a dozen cannons, it will be easy to explode." However, the rifle is a bit tricky, the barrel itself is made of mild steel, the hardness is soft, if you use the material again, before you fire two shots, it will be deformed and exploded, and a fool can see that there is a problem. How about changing the shots? Changed flintlock pistols to arquebuses. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work. We played against Li Jiucheng, and the characteristics of the rifle in a short period of time have long been clearly seen by Guan Ningjun, if they get the gun, the original three shots a minute will become one shot a minute, and the rate of fire will be reduced by three times, so they must be in a hurry with us. ”

"The barrel material cannot be manipulated or tamed, and the firing method cannot be changed...... Yes, let's change the material of the bayonet, this must not be visible. ”

Xia Nan thought for a moment, "You mean, change the bayonet to the kind that is hard, brittle, and easy to break?" ”

"That's right. Our bayonets use a carburizing process, the outer surface is high-hardness high-carbon steel, and the inner core is high-flexibility low-carbon steel, which is hard enough to not break easily. Lin Weiye explained, "The bayonet given to Guan Ningjun is directly on high-carbon steel, which is hard and abnormally hard in appearance, but it is very brittle, and it is easy to break when stabbing it." ”

"That's it......" Xia Nan thought for a moment, "It's also a compromise, at least so that the musketeers of the Guanning Army can't become an all-round class that integrates far and near, that is, a strengthened version of the bird gun." Then it's decided. ”

When Xia Nan and Lin Weiye discussed the issue of arms sales in Nanyuan, the large-scale reclamation of immigrants was in full swing in the hilly areas south of Lingao.

The scam that worried the hungry people in Shandong did not show up after all, and the government kept all its promises. All the immigrants who survived to Lingao were given a settling-in allowance of five taels of silver, and a certain ration was given to ensure that they would not starve to death before the cultivation and harvest; Every three people can share a ploughing ox, although there is no ownership, only the right to use, but it can also greatly improve the efficiency of land reclamation. The surrounding Li aborigines have been dispersed, either moving farther into the mountains and forests, or dying at the hands of officers and soldiers, leaving the migrants with the plains irrigated by the Wenlan River and the hills with abundant rainfall.

The manpower of the Qiongzhou battalion was invested in this resettlement and reclamation movement. According to the original plan, the plains that were easy to clear were handed over to older immigrants, who formed new villages according to clan and other ties. The hilly areas that were difficult to open up were divided into military tuntian, and the strong young men were incorporated into the tun army whether they wanted to or not, and they carved out a large area of terraced fields on the hillside, but these fields were not theirs, but belonged to the Qiongzhou battalion.

In ancient times, the peasants' attachment to the land was deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and the young and strong people could not fully accept such an arrangement at first, and most of them wanted to cultivate a few acres of fertile land and live a life of a farmer's spring and a little field, and a hot kang head for their wives and children. The fertile land obtained by hard work is not his own in the end, and it belongs to the "official land", which is somewhat discouraged. However, the Qiongzhou battalion soon changed their minds, and the young men of the Tun army received their first month's salary, which was paid according to the standard of the regular army's privates. There is no need to pay taxes for farming, and there is also money to take, and the young people immediately smiled, which seems to be not bad.
