stubborn thief

Chapter 546 Stamped
Yang Dingrui was basically the most knowledgeable civil servant in the Marshal's Mansion before the war.

In the past, his official position was considered high in Yan'an Mansion, and he was born as a Jinshi. He had met people from all directions in the capital.

So he knows very well why many heroes are separatist forces and it is difficult to rule the world-others can't understand you.

All over the world, books have the same language and cars have the same track, but there is no homonym. Although there is a so-called "mandarin", due to historical development, mandarin has also been divided into several branches.

The original official dialect was the dialect of the Central Plains; after Yiguan traveled south, it was the dialect of Jinling; during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the official dialect of the Southern Dynasties became the dialect of Jiangdong Wu; after the unification of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it returned to the dialect of Luoyang; in the Yuan Dynasty, the official dialect became Mongolian. In addition to the northern and southern branches of Jinling and Luoyang, the official dialect has the Beiping accent of Yuan Dadu.

In the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu Zhengyun was formulated in Nanjing, but Hongwu Zhengyun was not the Nanjing pronunciation, it was precisely to correct the Nanjing pronunciation, because Zhu Yuanzhang hated the Jiangzuo Wu pronunciation the most, and he felt that the Southern Dynasties who moved south to the south of the Yangtze River were not orthodox. A group of military aristocrats from northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui, and southern Shandong, of course, their words shall prevail in court.

So in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Ning Wang Zhu Quan during the Zhengtong period made a preface to "Ya Yun", pointing out that the area of ​​the standard pronunciation Zhongzhou rhyme respected by the Ming Dynasty is no more than Pengcheng in the north, Dingyuan in the south, Jiangpu in the east, and Sui in the west. Yang, beyond this boundary, it is all dialect.

The south here is only Dingyuan, which is Dingyuan of Fengyang Mansion.

Just like "I" and "恁", one means me and the other means you, which often appear in the imperial edicts of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and others, but this is not because they issued the imperial edict of colloquial dialectization, on the contrary, but because of this It was the correct pronunciation of the elegant words at that time.

Shaanxi, especially the western part of Shaanxi where they are now, is completely different from the east.

The journey is far away, and different language methods will naturally bring people on guard, but the characters are the same, so when Yang Dingrui saw the comic strip compiled by Liu Chengzong, his eyes lit up at that time, and he was sure that it was a good tool to spread the influence of the Marshal's Mansion .

The Marshal's Mansion is in great turmoil in the northwest, maybe the people in the Jianghuai area don't know who he is.

Even if he knew, he only knew that he was a rebel leader who did all kinds of evil. This kind of situation was definitely not good for the Marshal's Mansion. Comics, story books and other things could just solve this problem.

The southeast has the best papermaking, printing and publishing industries in the world. This is another era when people have admiration and fantasies about military force. Liu Xiangyu and Yang Dingrui can easily figure out what this means if they use their brains a little.

Since the Jiajing Dynasty, in the military wars that have intensified in all directions in the southeast, northwest, and all directions, all classes can rely on their understanding of the military to gain opportunities for promotion.

Juniper was no match for the Banner Army of the Weisuo, he slashed wildly with a knife, and won the title of grand master outside the Great Wall; Liu Xian, a poor family who survived by stealing temple tributes, hacked five people to death with two guillotines in his first battle. There are more than ten people, and they are directly promoted from the fifth rank deputy thousand households.

Scholars can rely on their knowledge of military affairs to get out of the town and become famous all over the world.

If the storybooks and embroidered portraits of the Marshal’s Mansion can match their preferences, they will definitely win the favor of the people and attract talented people to join them—the key is that there are too many good stories about the Marshal’s Mansion. The Powara allied forces have expanded their territory for thousands of miles. Which one is not the dream of a hero?
Liu Xiangyu and Yang Dingrui acted very quickly, before the first month came out, the General Secretary of the Marshal's Mansion started fighting.

There was no prime minister in the Ming Dynasty, so naturally there was no Zhongshu Province as the central government office. Therefore, the Zhongshu Sheng was dismantled and divided into the General Administration Department and the Six Divisions.

The main power of the Secretary of General Administration is to run official documents, and sending official newspapers is also one of its powers. Official documents are divided into title books and memorial books. Usually, official documents sent in the name of the official office are called title books. They are in duplicate, and one is sent by the Secretary of General Administration In front of the emperor, another copy was sent to Langfang of the Sixth Division for transcription, which was basically made public.

The playbook is sent directly to the officials in charge by the officials in their personal capacity, and will not be made public until the emperor reads the playbook.

All the prefectures, Wei, Buzheng, Yancha, Yunyan, Dudufu, and Xuanfu Divisions in various places have set up experience divisions, which are institutions dedicated to receiving and sending official documents.

However, in the past, the Marshal’s Mansion was too small, and the official documents were sent directly to the desk. Even now, they only have five prefectures: Xining, Kangning, Lintao, Gansu, and Monan. The delivery of official documents is not that complicated. Some departments are not set.

Because their population is so small that there is no need to set up administrative agencies, and there are too many officials to replace administrative functions.

There are 20 people in one county in Beizhili, and at most ten officials. Gansu, which was taken to Liangzhou under Liu Shizi's rule, has no 20 people, and close to [-] civil and military officials.

But it is not the population that determines the number of officials, but the region. The wider the region, the more people are needed to work.

The envoy elected by Liu Xiangyu and Yang Dingrui is Lin Wei.

Lin Wei is also an old man who followed Liu Chengzong during the Lion Camp period. He was originally a scholar in Ningxia Zhongwei. In charge, when Liu Shizi was robbed and captured, he was chasing the thief with a shy face.

Based on the principle of doing his best, Liu Shizi entrusted him with the responsibility of farming the fields when he arrived in Qinghai. Therefore, Lin Wei has not traveled west with the army in the past few years. The income is not bad, adding more than [-] stone grains to the Marshal's Mansion every year.

Now with the establishment of the General Administration Department, it is exactly in line with Liu Chengzong's wishes to promote him.

When Lin Wei first arrived in Lanzhou, before all the subordinate officials of the Department of General Administration were assigned, the work had already begun: Liu Chengzu sent someone from Oirat to report the situation and intelligence of the winter battle.

When Liu Chengzu passed by, he and Sunday Qiang set up 24 stations along the way from Hami to Urumqi, and from Hami to Lanzhou there were 36 stations affiliated to the Marshal's Mansion, with [-] stations in the whole journey, and they could reach Lanzhou in nine days and nights at the fastest.

But now that it has snowed, the courier took 18 days to reach Xining, and another day from Xining to Lanzhou. When Liu Chengzong saw this letter, it was already No. [-] days after it was delivered from Urumqi.

Liu Chengzong calculated the time, and it happened to be Chinese New Year when Liu Chengzu delivered the letter.

However, this letter was written by Liu Chengzu on the battlefield years ago, and the battle in Oirat was not as smooth as Batur Huntaiji imagined.

Although Batuer Huitaiji returned to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and tried his best to organize the army and prepare for war, trying to show that the four tribes of Oirat did not suffer too much loss in the southern expedition, but no amount of bluff can cover up the reality of his serious injury .

Oirat can mobilize a total of tens of thousands of veterans, half of which were cut in the hands of Liu Chengzong, and even the former leader of the alliance, Guoshi Khan, was detained. Therefore, in autumn, he suffered a fatal blow from the Kazakh Ministry. It happened that Batur Huntaiji He also planned to attack Tyumen, but Kazakh directly stole his home.

If it weren't for Liu Chengzu's troops stationed in the Ili River Valley, Wei Lat would have been wiped out in one wave.

After this battle, Batur Huntaiji realized that attacking Tyumen, which was [-] miles away, was undoubtedly a dream, so he could only organize [-] cavalry to attack the northern salt lake in winter.

Liu Chengzu and Zhou Riqiang carefully analyzed the current situation of the four Oirats, and it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is an enemy, so they tried their best to dissuade Batuer Huntaiji from going to war before the guns arrived in the Ili Valley, but they couldn't persuade them.

Batur believes that at this time, the more you have to go to war with others, even if the price you pay is greater than avoiding the war, you must fight when you see someone, even if you lose, as long as you let the invading enemy taste the price, you can stop the pace of its invasion.

Otherwise, if the hearts of the people are scattered and the people are scattered, it will be worse than death.

At that time, the east will belong to Liu Chengzong, the west will belong to Kazakhs, the north will belong to Russia, and the south will belong to Yarkand. There will be no such thing as Oirat in the world.

Liu Chengzu thinks about it too. After all, he is an Oirat who can’t even unify the writing and language. The stability itself is very poor, so he didn’t persuade him much. He just asked Dai Daozi to lead 600 people to follow the army and go up Hebei to draw a topographic map of the water network. .

Later Oirat did pay the price.

In the battle that took place at Yamesh Lake at the end of the seventh year of Chongzhen, three thousand Junggar soldiers besieged the stronghold.

Both sides fought very bravely, but in Lanzhou Liu Chengzong looked at the battle report, his facial features were almost crowded together, it was almost impossible to see.

This is not a question of bravery or not. According to Liu Chengzu, the Raksha people had a wooden fortress by the lake, in which more than 100 Raksha soldiers lived all year round. At the beginning of the war, thousands of Raksha soldiers were urgently recruited from nearby villages. tribal aborigines.

Although Batuer Huntaiji's cavalry went out everywhere, intercepted and killed more than 300 people in the wild, more than 600 people were still stationed in the wooden fort, which made the Raksha people's guarding force in the wooden fort of Salt Lake very sufficient.

The wooden castles of the Raksha people are very special. Liu Chengzu can't tell whether it was intentional or poorly repaired. Anyway, there are many gaps in the middle of the wooden walls, and muskets can be inserted through the gaps, so there are firepower points everywhere in the fight, which will give a strong boost to the attack. Come very difficult.

Batuer Huntaiji commanded the soldiers to charge four times, and they were repelled all four times... How could any serious person charge into the fortress? The gap in the fortress was indeed so large that the Rakshasa soldiers could fit in it with old large-caliber muskets Go, but it's hard to expect Junggar soldiers to shoot arrows into gaps in the ice and snow.

Strictly speaking, the equipment used by the Russian soldiers in the bunker was very bad.

Their large-caliber muskets are basically eliminated from European wars, that is, the Spanish heavy muskets that dominated the battlefield 100 years ago imitated by Poland and other places.

This musket is very powerful, yes, but it is outdated, because there was no granular gunpowder in that era, powder gunpowder was used, the caliber was stupidly large, and the musket was stupidly heavy.

In the past 100 years, the most important technological progress was the granulation of gunpowder, which reduced the caliber of muskets. Therefore, a large number of large-caliber heavy muskets were eliminated. Most of these muskets were either eliminated to colonies or sold to Russia, etc. It is no longer a country that cannot produce technology.

At this time, the main firearms used in European countries such as Spain were light firearms with a caliber of about [-] mm.

The Ming Dynasty did not go through this process, because the technology of gunpowder granulation existed very early, and Qi Jiguang promoted it. Therefore, only the caliber determines the power. First came into contact with small-caliber muskets, and then came into contact with Spanish large-caliber muskets. After imitating them, It uses granular gunpowder.

But even if it is an outdated matchlock gun, it is still a matchlock gun, and it will not be a problem to sink it in the fortress.

Forests, ice fields, muskets, and fortresses, the addition of these four things is almost equal to invincibility.

After fighting several times, Liu Chengzu estimated that they caused more than 30 losses to the enemy inside the wooden base, but they killed and injured more than [-] people outside, and finally had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

The reason for the withdrawal was that there were too many casualties. It was not the 60 people who were killed or injured, but because it was freezing outside. Hundreds of soldiers were killed and injured by the cold. do.

When Liu Chengzu wrote this letter back, on the one hand, he wanted to send over the topographic map of the water network that Dai Daozi had explored along the way; Take down the land, pretend to be a big one in front of Batur, and use this to occupy the lifeline of Oirat's salt.

As for why he dared to boast about such a sea, it was based on the firearm he asked Liu Chengzong to rush to make: the flying cannon.

Curved ballistic, secondary ignition, light and fast, explosive damage, a flying gun with a misfire rate as high as [-]/[-].

Liu Shizi thought about how much effort you have put in, big brother. When we are attacking the city in Daming, we still have to worry about the lives and property of the people in the city, so we don't have to worry about it outside.

The small wooden castle with a square of [-] paces has not yet been built, and its spread range is smaller than that of Liu Guoneng's random flying. One rocket may not be able to hit it accurately, but ten rockets will definitely cause damage to the defenders. Let a hundred rockets fly past. It is unlikely that no one will survive, but Liu Shizi does not believe that they can still organize troops to defend the fort after the bombing.

The most important thing is that this thing is easy and cheap to make, and the flying cannon has to be hammered. As long as there is gunpowder, my arsenal can make hundreds of them in ten days and half a month, and the paper shells are easy to use. .

Of course, whether it is paper or gunpowder, they are not cheap in places outside the Central Plains.

Brother Liu wrote a letter from such a far away place to ask for equipment. Naturally, Liu Shizi couldn't be stingy. He sent a letter to the arsenal on the same day, asking how many rockets the arsenal still had in stock. Load [-] rockets into the car and ask Cao Yao to pick up [-] banner troops from Gansu and send them to Urumqi.

Three hundred rockets were shipped from Xincheng on the same day. After all, the quantity was too small. Each of these rockets weighed only ten catties. pulled away.

Liu Chengzong could have any bad intentions, but he wanted to try to send them there before the beginning of spring, taking advantage of the slackness of the Raksha soldiers in the wooden castle by the lake to kill and retreat the enemy, and let his elder brother kill the carbine again, and the doves would occupy the magpie's nest.

Not to mention anything else, after they are blown up, they will add covers to the bunkers!
　good afternoon!
