If we die, they can live

Chapter 113

Although Xu Guangqi told Sun Yuanhua in the letter, he asked Sun Yuanhua to find a way to put aside the past grudges with Cheng Shijie and make him advance and retreat together with the Western French Party.

Although he didn't mention a word about marriage, he was concerned about Cheng Shijie's single issue, which explains the problem very much.

The Western French Party currently only has two or three kittens. In addition to the party leader Xu Guangqi, the second is Sun Yuanhua, a capable general, and the third is Chen Zilong, the son of Chen Suowen, the head of the Ministry of Industry.

But the problem is that Chen Zilong is only twenty-five years old, ten years younger than Cheng Shijie. He does have a daughter named Chen Xin, but she is only six years old. Even if the twenty-five-year-old Chen Zilong wants to be Cheng Shijie's father-in-law, it is not that big.

's daughter.

As for Sun Yuanhua, he does have three sons, the eldest son Sun Heding, the second son Sun Hedou, and the third son Sun Hejing. Among them, the youngest son Sun Hejing is unmarried, but the problem is that he has no daughter.

Xu Guangqi has sent Chen Zilong to Liaodong. This is because Xu Guangqi feels that the Ming Dynasty was affected by the cold weather of the Little Glacier. He wants to cultivate new crops that can withstand drought and cold. To realize this wish, Liaonan is the best

Experimentally.

First of all, southern Liaoning has a large amount of land. Even Dalian City in later generations still has 20.52 million acres of cultivated land, including about 500,000 acres of paddy fields.

Secondly, compared to Shanghai, the climate in southern Liaoning is colder and has less rainfall. The climate here is more similar to that of most areas in the north.

Finally, there are no civilian fields here, only military villages. This is because civilian fields will consider their own interests and will not accept fresh crops lightly, fearing heavy losses if there is a bad harvest. However, Cheng Shijie’s military villages are used as experimental fields. As long as Cheng Shijie

If he is willing, whatever crops he wants to grow will be grown by military households in the field.

This is also the place in southern Liaoning that Xu Guangqi likes most.

The Western French Party and Xu Guangqi himself have very limited influence in the north. The Western French Party's influence is mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangnan, while Jiangnan is less affected by Xiaoglacier. Xu Guangqi, an agricultural expert, can't find experimental fields in the north.

It’s really the most ridiculous thing in the world.

This time Xu Guangqi asked Chen Zilong to go north with more than a hundred agricultural experts from the Western French Party. Once Cheng Shijie turned his back on others, not only Chen Zilong would be in the tiger's mouth, but the entire Western French Party would be dealt a devastating blow.

Therefore, in this case, Sun Yuanhua had to take risks.

"Dacheng, please prepare. I will choose a day to go to sea and go to Jinzhou!"

"Master Futai, the student thinks..."

"What?"

"The student thinks that Mr. Futai had better write a letter to Marshal Cheng first to test his tone!"

Sun Yuanhua nodded: "That's very good!"

…

"In the fifth year of Chongzhen, AD 1632, on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the Yellow River burst at Mengjin, resulting in numerous casualties among soldiers, civilians, and merchants. The people migrated, begging for food everywhere, and had no way to go, so they gathered and rebelled."

Although it snowed a few times in southern Liaoning in winter, the amount of snow was not too heavy and the snow accumulation did not exceed 30 centimeters.

In Cheng Shijie's view, there will be a drought in southern Liaoning during the five years of Chongzhen's reign. This terrible little glacier climate can really drive the farmers who depend on the sky crazy.

The Mengjin Ferry of the Yellow River bursts, and in this disaster-ridden Henan, famine will be everywhere again, and mourning will be everywhere. Cheng Shijie saw the major events in the five years of Chongzhen, and now history has been changed beyond recognition by him. He originally turned the entire Shandong upside down.

Kong Youde's chaos has been eliminated invisible.

Cheng Shijie didn't know whether history would play out as it did in the original time and space. At least he knew that although he killed Kong Youde in advance, there was no change in the encyclopedias and history books of later generations.

Cheng Shijie realized that the late Ming Dynasty he came to should not be the late Ming Dynasty in history, but a parallel time and space. In other words, what he did as a butterfly from another world would not affect future generations.

He was reassured by this. He was really afraid that it would create turbulence in time and space and mess up the history of future generations.

After the New Year, it’s the Lantern Festival.

After the Lantern Festival, southern Liaoning has already entered into an intense preparation phase for spring plowing.

However, the problem is that the trees want to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. Cheng Shijie wants to have a good spring plowing, but the slaves are not willing. Although Huang Taiji has no intention of sending troops to retaliate against Ning Haijun, as the fifteenth elder brother among the three Dorgon brothers , Duduo, the famous general who established the slaves and the pride of heaven, the leader of the Zhengbai Banner. (Note that after the death of Huang Taiji, he changed the flag with his brother Dorgon and became the leader of the Xiangbai Banner)

News of Azig's defeat in Liaonan reached Shenyang. Azig became the laughing stock of the Eight Banners. This incident made Duduo ashamed. As the youngest of the three Dorgon brothers, Huang Taiji deliberately condoned it. Under the circumstances, in Duduo's heart, Fat Lao Ba is not as scary as Azig felt. In Duduo's heart, Fat Lao Ba Huang Taiji is an amiable elder. As long as he can win the battle, no matter whether he is there or not. There will be no problem with the commands.

Of course, this was the result of Huang Taiji's intentional favoritism, which gave Duduo the wrong impression. Huang Taiji was too harsh on Azig, and there was harshness in the harshness. Just like the first year of Chongzhen, Duduo's wedding. Azig, as a mother The eldest of three brothers held a wedding for his younger brother Duduo. What kind of mistake is this?

Huang Taiji expelled Azig because he held Dodo's wedding without authorization. The young and ignorant Dodo thought that this was Huang Taiji giving him face and respecting him.

In fact, before Nurhachi died, he had a clear instruction: Azig was the leader of the Xianghuang Banner, and Dodo was the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner. After his death, all the troops he commanded would be given to Dodo, but he would be given another flag. To Dorgon. After Huang Taiji became the Khan King, the two yellow flags and the two white flags were exchanged, and Duduo became the flag owner of the Zhengbai Banner. At this time, Duduo was still the stronger flag owner of the Eight Banners.

Duduo is not only the flag owner of Zhengbai Banner, he also inherited twenty Niulu from Nurhachi's personal army. Duduo, the flag owner of Zhengbai Banner, has a total of forty-five Niulu. The other flags are all under the jurisdiction of a Jia La Er Zhen. Niulu, that is, five times three hundred, a total of fifteen hundred people.

However, Jiala'erzhen of Zhengbai Banner has nine Niulu under his jurisdiction. The number of people is nine times three hundred, a total of 2,700 people. The whole flag has a total of 13,500 people. Zhengbai Banner has more people than Xiangbai Banner. Nearly half of the troops.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen and the sixth year of Tiancong, on the eleventh day of the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, a high-level military meeting was held within Zhengbai Banner. The participants included five Jia La E Zhen and forty-five Niu Lu E of Zheng Bai Banner. real.

Jiannu didn't have so many rules at this time. The first counselor of Zhengbai Banner, who was responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence, reported to Niulu Ezhen and Jia La Ezhen.

"... Around the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month last year, Ming Manzi's Dongjiang Army arrived at the Stone Castle, but they did not station themselves at the Stone Castle. Instead, they set up defenses along the mountain road with the Stone Castle behind them. The spies tried to approach its camp, but failed. , the camp's defense is much tighter than that of the Guan Ning Army, and it can be concluded that it is the Dongjiang family's army. According to reports from informants lurking in the Dongjiang Army, it seems that the person leading the army is not Huang Long himself, but the adopted son of Mao Wenlong, the former commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army. Mao Chenglu, Mao Chenglu does not have that many soldiers, it is still unknown..."

"The strength of the Dongjiang Army sent this time seems to be between 20,000 and 30,000. Most of them are infantry and there are not many horses. Even so, this Dongjiang Army is well equipped and has a large number of powerful crossbows. Susa led ten

The four men came close to conduct reconnaissance, but were discovered by the opponent and covered with crossbows. Of the fourteen men under Susa's command, only Susa was seriously injured and could not get closer for observation. Therefore, the exact number is unknown and can only be roughly estimated based on the size of their camp.

Judging from the weapons and armor in the hands of the sentries guarding the camp, we can see that the equipment is quite sophisticated, and the level is better than that of the garrison defenders of Guanning castles."

"After the Dongjiang Army arrived at the Stone Castle, they repaired the city gates and reorganized the defenses day and night. They pushed along the line, built snow walls, dug trenches, and set up arrow towers. The ice walls were strong. The slaves judged... Before the ice and snow melted, the Dongjiang Army occupied a favorable location.

Advantage……"

Duduo coughed and said, "Isn't the Dongjiang Army just an army of beggars?"

"It should be supported by Cheng Shijie, the commander-in-chief of the Ning Navy!"

Zhu Weiyan, a Han aide under Duduo, thought for a while and said: "This Ning Haijun Cheng Shijie launched the Dengzhou City mutiny in late October. He was the mastermind of the mutiny. He once occupied Dengzhou City and hijacked Dengzhou City.

Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Lai, adopted a work-for-relief method. It is said that the people of Dengzhou Prefecture praised this person quite a lot. The place where Ninghai Navy still garrisoned troops was not in Dengzhou City, but in the former Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu in Ninghai Prefecture.

The place was later renamed Ninghai City. The specific number of troops is unknown, the combat power is ominous, and the equipment is ominous..."

Hearing this, Duduo's face turned cold.

Damn it, if the strength of the troops is unknown, the combat power is unknown, and the equipment is unknown, doesn’t that mean you said nothing?

Chu Weiyan saw Duduo's expression change and hurriedly explained: "Master, this Cheng Shijie was originally unknown. He was just a member of a mere thousand households. There are not even eight hundred but a thousand people like him, so... there is nothing about this person.

information..."

Dayinbu continued: "The Ning navy's army defending Tieshanbao, like the Dongjiang army in Shibao, did not defend the city, but stationed camp along the outside of the north city. Judging from the camp, the number of troops should be tens of thousands.

.”

Nahamulu, a powerful general with the same name as Batulu of Zhengbai Banner and Batulu Obai of Xianghuang Banner, said: "The Ming army divided its troops into two places to guard the pass. We should send troops south to test the reality..."

Ye Hehu'erha immediately objected: "That's not appropriate. This spring is the mating and production season for cattle and horses. There are not many troops to be mobilized. If we send out a large number of troops, the loss of horses will be high. The soldiers will be useless and they will take advantage of them."

"

Duduo immediately stood up and waved his hand and said: "Does this matter still need to be discussed? The battle in Liaonan is inevitable. Brother Twelve lost face in Liaonan. Benbeile has a heavy army but pretends to be deaf and dumb. This will make

What do the other six flags think of our three brothers?"

In Duduo's eyes, he fought this battle not caring about how much property he captured, how many Ming soldiers he killed or how many slaves he captured, he had only one purpose, to regain the situation for his twelfth brother.

In order to accumulate strength to fight this battle, Duduo ignored the breeding of livestock in Zhengbai Banner and ignored the opposition of everyone. He just gathered the five Jia La E Zhen and 45 cattle records of Zheng Bai Banner. However, he did not go south.

Each Niulu sent 150 troops, including 100 soldiers and 50 slaves.

The bannermen of Zhengbai Banner dispatched 4,500 cavalry, 1,250 war slaves, and cannon fodder Han troops from Lishu Zhengbai Banner, totaling more than 12,000 men and horses, and marched south in a mighty manner.

This news was immediately reported to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji just nodded: "I understand..."

Then, there is no more.

Huang Taiji was a top-level player in political struggles. The young Duduo was provoked by him in twos and ones, and he became furious and forgot about everything.

Although Huang Taiji is now suspected of killing someone with a borrowed knife, the problem is that Duduo has 20 Niulu elites under his command, all of whom are Nurhachi's guards. These elites only obey Nurhaci's orders and are loyal to Duduo. He has 6,000 troops.

It can't be snatched away, and it can't be used by him.

For an emperor and a tycoon, anyone who cannot be used by him is considered disloyal. Even if he is from the Aisin Gioro family, he will still kill him.

…

At the same time, after the Lantern Festival of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Cheng Shijie had nearly 200 more farmhouses under his control, which made Cheng Shijie a little difficult to handle.

What he really didn't expect was that now not only the people from Liaodong crossed the sea to Liaonan to join him, but also people from Shandong, Tianjin, and Guide Prefecture in Henan came to join him.

When it comes to this matter, it is Song Xiance's fault.

In order to make Cheng Shijie famous, this guy took advantage of the connections he made while running in the gangster society, and started building momentum for Cheng Shijie before Cheng Shijie arrived in Liaonan.

At that time, Ning Haijun had only 63 farming stations and less than 20,000 troops. If the Ning Haijun wanted to establish a foothold in southern Liaoning, let alone establish slaves, even if the Dongjiang Army had some twisted ideas, Cheng Shijie would be hard-pressed.

Handle.

Song Xiance successively found more than a hundred charlatans to deceive a family into moving to southern Liaoning for one tael of silver, allowing these charlatans to build momentum and spread rumors.

At first, the effect of the campaign was not good, but when Cheng Shijie fulfilled his promise, he distributed homesteads, allocated cultivated fields, and rules to immigrants from Liaodong, including providing seeds, farming tools, and most importantly, working in southern Liaoning.

Living, adult men were paid one dou of grain per day, women were paid seven or eight dou of grain, and the tax was only three dou per mu. This news made the surviving people of Liaodong, who were originally in a wait-and-see state, and even the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army

The family members of Ning Haijun, as well as the people of Ning Haijun who originally did not want to go, mobilized one after another to go to Liaonan.
