Chapter 123: The main force of the Qing army
Marching on the land of Liaozhong, the army of the Ming Dynasty looked tired and dull. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
As the main force of the Eastern Army, the Feixiong Independent Division retreated from Liaohai to Shenyang, and after a short rest, quickly marched to the south.
Now, on the afternoon of October 13, 277 of the Ming Dynasty, in the field of the Weining Camp, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded in the Feixiong Independent Division.
Such cheers seemed so abrupt that the refugees from Liaodong, who were building an emergency military railway, couldn't help but look sideways.
Soon, elated news came from the front.
"His Majesty the Emperor is reviewing the Feixiong Independent Division!" The young man who heard the news clearly shouted excitedly.
His shout was like a clarion call, which made everyone in the audience excited after the uproar.
"His Majesty the Emperor is here?"
"Are you here to inspect the royal division in front of you?"
"Such heroic martial arts are worthy of being a strong army brought out by His Majesty......"
The sound of chirping sounded, and even the railway construction, which was originally halfway in progress, couldn't help but stop. Soon, two women came out of a small wooden house next to the construction site.
As soon as these women walked out, the chattering voices that were still chattering suddenly dissipated, and everyone bowed down to salute the few people in front of them.
"The lady of the Wu family is here......"
"Good afternoon, son-in-law......"
"Lord Wu is so ......"
Voices of all colors shouted. There were a lot of men among them.
Compared with Liaoyang and Shenyang, there are few big cities on this side of Weiningying, and there are quite a lot of villagers. Outside the city, the Jiannu's ability to control the vast fields was greatly reduced. Although a lot of grain was still looted, in comparison, the people of the Han family who got the news early had already fled, where would Jiannu be given the opportunity to slaughter the people.
Therefore, there are still many men who are still there.
This time, the Ming Dynasty wanted to build an emergency military railway, and after a launch, most of the refugees entered the Ming Liaodong Military Railway Project.
Seeing that these daughters' families can also find a job on their own, many men are also ready to move, and they also want to come and do this hard work.
It's just that it's not easy to work hard at this time.
After Song Yingxing took office, he quickly began to subcontract the entire Liaodong military railway in batches. While there are a large number of students who can work as emergency managers for engineering management. However, as a professional and technical personnel, Song Yingxing deeply understands that although students have culture, knowledge and brains, what they lack most is experience and professionalism. It is still possible for them to temporarily resettle the refugees and work every day.
But once you want to build the railway quickly and well, you can't do it all by yourself.
For this reason, it is the most feasible way to contract the project and promote it through competition and reward.
As a result, except for a few sections of the road that still had to move refugees south to Yingkou, Fuzhou and other ports where there were ports, a large number of projects were no longer directly managed by the imperial court, but were quickly contracted.
Many businessmen keenly smelled business opportunities, and they were able to accompany the army during the expedition, obviously not intending to play. Rather, it is to find a way to make a fortune in such an opportunity for order change.
Supplying military supplies is only the simplest method, and more advanced ways to play are still waiting for this group of intelligent and hard-working businessmen to discover.
Like what...... Li Xiangjun, who came with the army.
As a woman, Li Xiangjun's appearance in the barracks caused a lot of discussion. On the surface, she is a teacher in the hall of Beijing Normal University, but soon everyone found out that her every move was somewhat beyond the expectations of others.
In everyone's mind, since he is a teacher, he should be poor and happy.
However, Li Xiangjun is generous and heroic, and his gestures are full of wealth and luxury. This time the Liaodong Railway Project was subcontracted, and everyone was still hesitant, but Li Xiangjun directly contracted it with a generous amount of money.
At first, some people just thought that Li Xiangjun planned to deduct the workers' food expenses and make some black money.
After all, subcontractors often make profits from hard labor.
The refugees in Liaodong don't care about this. Above the level of needs, they only care about whether they can survive and whether they can have a full day. As for whether to squeeze or not, surplus value and so on, they don't care, and they don't care about that.
But soon, Li Xiangjun's next move was beyond everyone's imagination.
He actually spent a lot of money, and when the grain in Liaodong was already expensive, he had enough food every day, and he carried out the project with meat.
Li Xiangjun really doesn't understand these things, but if he doesn't understand, it doesn't mean that he is stupid.
As the boss, Li Xiangjun is obviously knowledgeable.
So, by Li Xiangjun's side, Wu Qiaoer soon appeared. Wu Qiaoer, who had been operating the refugee resettlement for a period of time and knew about the entire railway construction and operation, quickly came up with a list for Li Xiangjun. Inside, it is a good hand in the baggage camp of the Jinwu Army.
In these years, the most outstanding construction projects were actually in the baggage camps of various departments in the army.
The sappers on active duty obviously can't dig up, but with abundant funds, after Li Xiangjun rewarded the 300 sheep in the army and sent 100 stone meters to the Jinwu Army, a complete list of retired veteran engineer non-commissioned officers quietly came into Li Xiangjun's hands.
Relying on this list, Li Xiangjun established his own Liaodong Construction Society.
At this time, Li Xiangjun was discussing with Wu Qiaoer how to motivate several engineering teams under his command. That's right, Li Xiangjun contracted the railway from Liaoyang to Weiningying, and the 120-mile railway was soon assigned by Li Xiangjun to twelve engineering teams. Let them compete with each other.
Just as Li Xiangjun's contracted railway will have additional rewards for completing it as soon as possible, Li Xiangjun also thinks about how to designate rewards to make his subordinates work harder.
It's just that Wu Qiaoer quietly calculated an account for Li Xiangjun, but she was very sad: "Sister Xiangjun, I know that you have a solid family background and are not afraid of spending money." But your money didn't come for nothing, did it? We can recruit tens of thousands of miles at the moment. With so many people, raised according to your extravagant standards, the daily expenses are huge. If you think about how to motivate you, this money will go to the sea. Moreover, our degree of completion is also the highest among the ministries. The railway from Shenyang to us has been completed eighty percent. It's not just for a while. ”
"Sister Qiao'er gave me a lot of thought about this, sister, I am very happy. When it comes to the huge expenses, I don't care. At the moment, the work we have taken is not an ordinary work among private people. This is the military railway of our Ming official army, what does the military mean? That means that the military situation is like fire, and 100,000 are urgent. If we can score earlier, our army will benefit more. That's what matters. As for spending more and losing some, what is it? After a pause, Li Xiangjun said again: "Just the fields we bought in Shenyang and sold them casually, and they also made a lot of money." Sister, I really don't care about these little things. ”
Listening to Li Xiangjun's description of the silver that tens of thousands of people eat and drink Lazar is small, the corners of Wu Qiaoer's mouth twitched, and she felt complicated in her heart.
To say, Wu Qiaoer recognized Tian Yingqi as her goddaughter, and she didn't have to worry about eating and drinking. It is also the foundation of everyone's beauty since childhood, after the official eunuch, the knowledge and vision, that are extraordinary.
But when she ran into Li Xiangjun, Wu Qiaoer became more and more aware of what it meant to be ashamed of herself.
Tens of thousands of people eat and drink Lazar, which means that more than 50,000 taels of silver are thrown in every month.
But in front of Li Xiangjun's eyes, he didn't blink his eyelids, as if he really didn't care about making money or not, and he lost 10,000 taels of silver.
This is said in a very loud tone, but Wu Qiaoer believes that Li Xiangjun really thinks so.
Just like His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Cihong is rich all over the world, he doesn't care about wasting money by building an extra house in the palace.
Li Xiangjun just relied on the difference in the price of the land in Liaodong auctioned under the order of returning Liao last time, which was enough to make up for ten times the amount of these losses.
Now that the Ming Dynasty officials and troops are making rapid progress, the people who originally thought that the land of Liaodong could not be bought have been dumbfounded at this moment and disappeared quietly.
Naturally, the market price of land in Liaodong, which was originally extremely cheap, soared.
With the return of a large number of Liao people to Liaodi, the price of land in Liaodong will increase. At this time, Li Xiangjun sold all the land in his hands and exported it, and he could also earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
With such a lot of money, it seems that there is really no problem in feeding tens of thousands of people at a loss.
"Sister Qiao'er, look at it again, how mighty these armies were when they went north? At present, running down for hundreds of miles from the south to the north, this spirit and spirit will be consumed hugely, and his expression will be depressed. You say, if our railroad is built. People are sitting on the railway, and as soon as the horse pulls, the rails are slid from Shenyang to Weiningying, a road of hundreds of miles, and I am afraid that it will take two hours to arrive. The military situation is urgent, what is our mind worth of ten thousand taels of silver? Seeing that Wu Qiao'er was thoughtful, Li Xiangjun broke it softly and explained it carefully.
Wu Qiao'er is smart, and when she thought of this idea, she suddenly understood.
This time, she admired Li Xiangjun very much: "My sister knows, since this is the case, my sister plans to change her method." Our Shenwei Railway has been repaired for emergency use by the army, but in the future, who will operate it is uncertain. I persuaded my sister to continue this business, which may be a loss in the present, but it will be a long-term prosperous business in the future. Let's issue a proclamation that whoever can win in this competition, or perform well, will be given a long-term and stable job. When the time comes, our business will be hung up in the yamen, who doesn't want to be a businessman? ”
To be a public is to do things for the public. Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of people on the land of China who broke their heads and squeezed into the yamen.
As an official and a general, they are all proud of eating the emperor's food, thinking that this is the real and serious way to live.
Right now, Wu Qiaoer is trying to set up a public-private state-owned enterprise.
In these years, no one may know about state-owned enterprises, but as long as you are sure that you can eat imperial grain, it will undoubtedly be a great stimulus for the people of Liaodong, who are in danger.
"It's a good idea...... Li Xiangjun looked at Wu Qiao'er in surprise, touched Wu Qiao'er's head, and said with a smile: "Say it quickly, how do you want me to thank you?" ”
"Oh, just don't rub my head...... Wait, sister, there's a lot of noise outside, I don't know what's going on......" Wu Qiao'er listened attentively, noticed that something was wrong, and immediately ran out.
Countless thoughts came to my mind, whether it was a worker fighting, or accidentally smashing someone during construction, or something that went wrong.
Seeing that Wu Qiao'er ran out in a hurry, Li Xiangjun naturally couldn't sit in the house, so he hurriedly went out.
Several strong women and guards dressed in military uniforms and carrying spears followed the guards, but soon, the news that made everyone eagerly excited came.
"His Majesty the Emperor is reviewing the Feixiong Independent Division!"
His Majesty the Emperor is on the parade!
This news came out and smashed on Li Xiangjun's head, making her look at it in a daze, and she fell into a trance. As for Wu Qiao'er, she was even more of a fan girl, running to a small mountain bag, following hundreds of people cheering and waving.
His Majesty the Emperor appeared.
He rode on a white horse without a single hair, and he wore a military uniform, inspecting the army that had arrived from the north and south.
The Feixiong Independent Division quickly changed its formation from the marching army, and the phalanxes were in place, and His Majesty the Emperor led the soldiers of the Guards Battalion behind him to gallop past.
Zhu Cihong's eyes crossed in front of the eyes of the soldiers, and he rode back and forth to gallop back and forth, waving his hands and shouting slogans.
In response to Zhu Cihong, it was a more fervent slogan.
Liu Sheng's eyes were moist with excitement, he watched Zhu Cihong's arrival, all the tiredness on his body was dispelled, and in the end, all that was left was to shout in unison with countless soldiers: "Long live my emperor!" ”
Zhu Cihong beckoned and responded with a smile: "Daming Wansheng!" ”
At this time, it was located to the east of the Weining camp.
More scouts reported the military situation on the front line to Zhu Cihong.
Zhang Zhen listed the general situation.
Above, thousands of words are summarized into one sentence, that is......
"The main force of the Qing people has left the Crow Partridge Pass, and the slave chief Fu Lin supervises the war Crow Partridge Pass"
……
The crow partridge was closed, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang got off the horse with Fulin in her arms, touched Fulin's head, and was very satisfied: "I'll just say, I love the descendants of the Xinjue Luo family, none of them are bad seeds, just now, the emperor, you did a good job." To our soldiers, cheer up! ”
"Ah sneeze ......" Seven-year-old Fu Lin listened to Xiaozhuang's words, but he just said pitifully: "Eniang, ah no mother, then I ...... I, can I go back? ”
Looking at her son's state, a different color flashed in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, but she touched Fulin's head helplessly, and slowly shook her head: "It's not okay yet, E-Niang will accompany you here." Otherwise, let's go, this scene can't continue......"
After speaking, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang looked at the Crow Pass, which was only a few thousand people, and said helplessly. Just now, Karaantu led 5,000 people out of the pass, which made the Crow Pass, which was already scarce in troops, even more scarce.
However, this is also the result that Da Yuer wants!
