Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 218 "Eleven Articles of Cooperation with the Conquest Army and Military Government"

"General Zu, there is a saying among us Han people, that is, you don't eat fine wine when toasting! I hope General Zu is not such a person."

Wang Cai said coldly.

Zu Dashou swallowed.

Looking at the conscript soldiers around, they were all murderous.

I couldn't help feeling frustrated.

Indeed, he doesn't have the capital to negotiate peace now!

The Guan Ning iron cavalry that he was proud of was like a piece of paper in front of the conquering army, completely vulnerable.

"General Wang calm down..."

Zu Dashou finally lowered his head.

Only then did Wang Cai nod in satisfaction, with a smile on his face, he picked up the wine bottle and poured Zu Dashou a glass of wine.

"That's right. Let's cooperate sincerely and unite as one to let the common people live a better life. How good is this? Why do you have to oppose Marshal Zhao and disappoint Marshal Zhao? If Marshal Zhao is disappointed, the consequences will be very serious!"

"Yes..." Zu Dashou could only nod his head again, his face turned pale.

This feeling of being persecuted and suppressed by others is not good!
He had no room for resistance at all.

"Which article did you talk about just now? Oh, yes, it's time for the fifth article. The fifth article is that we have the right to build roads. Within the area under the jurisdiction of General Zu, our conscript army can build roads at will. If anyone objects , General Zu is obliged to cooperate with our strong army to solve troubles and those who cause troubles." Wang Cai said.

"This is no problem." Zu Dashou let out a slight breath and nodded.

Among so many, only this one is the most acceptable to him.

It's just that he has some doubts.

Why did Marshal Zhao build roads within his jurisdiction?

If it's for the army, it's completely unnecessary!

Whether it is infantry or cavalry, are you afraid that you will have nowhere to go?

Could it be that it is really for the convenience of ordinary people walking?

That's too unbelievable!

Anyway, his ancestor's birthday would definitely not believe it.

There must be a conspiracy!

"Article [-] is mining rights. If there are minerals in Jinzhou, such as black stone and iron ore, we will conquer the people under the military government and have the right to mine in Jinzhou. General Zu should approve the mining. The Shuai Mansion and General Zu discussed and decided."

"Article [-], we are allowed to recruit people under the jurisdiction of the military government to build factories in Jinzhou. General Zu is not allowed to collect taxes, and must cooperate with our personnel to recruit workers and buy land."

"Article [-], open the market. Our goods are allowed to enter Jinzhou for sale, including Yantie Department Store, and tax collection is not allowed."

Wang Cai talked eloquently.

Zu Dashou listened very carefully, and he didn't quite understand many of the contents.

Such as building factories, such as allowing military government goods to enter Jinzhou for sale, even including salt and iron...

This sounds obviously more beneficial to his ancestor's birthday!
"Marshal Zhao intends to deliver goods to Jinzhou for sale?" Zu Dashou asked.

"Of course!" Wang Cai nodded, "Our commander-in-chief attaches great importance to commerce and craftsmen. Our commander-in-chief's ideal is to sell goods to the world. Therefore, the goods of our military government will definitely be sold to Jinzhou, and, The variety will be very complete and the quantity will be very large.”

"Of course Zumou is very welcome." Zu Dashou immediately expressed his opinion.

Against the Mongol barbarians and Jiannu, Daming had a very powerful trump card: the mutual market.

Because Daming is rich in products, while Mongolia and Jiannu are short of materials.

Therefore, they often rely on Daming's salt and iron tea, silk iron ware and other things.

Daming's sale of goods to the grassland is actually a gift to the grassland.

They are all reluctant to have their goods sold abroad. How can anyone beg others to allow them to sell their goods?
Marshal Zhao has a lot of good things there.

Zu Dashou was worried on the contrary, he would not sell it!
"General Wang, I don't know if the goods you are talking about include firecrackers and cannons?" Zu Dashou asked cautiously with a thought.

"Ha ha!"

Wang Cai laughed.

"Included! Of course included! The commander-in-chief said that our military government has a wide range of goods, everything you need. There are food department stores, salt and iron, and firecrackers and artillery. In short, as long as someone buys it, we will sell it."

"Okay! You really deserve to be Marshal Zhao! You are as open-minded as you are, and you are dedicated to the people. Zu admires you! Admire him!" Zu Dashou laughed.

In his opinion, what the crusade army relies on is nothing more than the sharpness of the guns and artillery.

If their Guan Ning army also deliberately equipped with the same firecrackers and artillery, then who would be afraid of whom?
Next, Wang Cai added a few more items.

This includes allowing people to enter and leave Jinzhou freely. If there are people in Jinzhou who want to leave Jinzhou to work or travel in the territory of the conquest military government, they must not be blocked...

And so on, a total of eleven.

"Our marshal called it the "Eleven Articles of Cooperation with the Military Government of the Expeditionary Army". If General Zu has no objections, he can sign the treaty. From now on, we will handle it accordingly."

Wang Cai took out a stack of documents.

These eleven items are in the document, but the relevant details are more detailed.

Zu Dashou watched it carefully.

Anyway, from his point of view, there seemed to be no problem, so he signed the name with a swipe of the pen.

"Press another fingerprint!"

Wang Cai took the ink pad and asked Zu Dashou to press his fingerprints, and then he burst out laughing.

"Okay! We will be friends from now on. In addition, Jinzhou guards the internal and external throats. After Jinzhou, there is Shanhaiguan. If the goods we conquest of the military government want to go inside and outside, if we don't go through Shanhaiguan, we have to go west for a long way. .

General Zu and General Wu Xiang of Shanhaiguan are brother-in-law, and you two are brothers-in-arms.Therefore, on the Shanhaiguan side, I will trouble General Zu to negotiate a peace.Let's sign the "Eleven Points" as well!
If necessary, our conscript army can send [-] troops to go there with General Zu. "

"No need!" Zu Dashou shook his head immediately, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Let the conscript army go with three thousand troops?
Is that still a peace talk?I'm afraid Shanhaiguan is not much worse than his Jinzhou!
He didn't want Wu Xiang to be tortured like this.

"Okay. Then General Laozu will go there first. If Shanhaiguan disagrees, we will go with the Conscript Army." Wang Cai said with a smile.

The treaty is in duplicate.

Zu Dashou took his share and left in a hurry.

After returning to the city, he hurried to Shanhaiguan again.

……

Shanhaiguan.

""Eleven Articles of Cooperation with the Military Government of the Expeditionary Army"? Brother-in-law, you are confused! How can you agree to these eleven articles? Especially if you can station a hundred law enforcement officers in the city. The conscript army is powerful, and there are hundreds of them. If all of them were armed with firecrackers, wouldn't it be easy to lose the city in case of a surprise attack and open the city gate, and cooperate with the inside and outside?

There is also this point, people under the military government of the conquest army who break the law in our Shanhaiguan cannot be punished by the court's laws and regulations, but handed over to the law enforcement members of the conscript army to be punished by the laws of the military government of the conscript army.

If this is the case, wouldn't the people who conquered the army and the military government be on the front line of our Guan Ning, they will lose their restraint and become lawless! "

Wu Xiang looked at these eleven items, and the more he looked at them, the more gloomy his face became.

"Too much deceit! The conscript army is really deceiving too much! It's a big deal, we will fight them. Shanhaiguan is as solid as gold, and with the support of the imperial court, we are afraid of a bird!"

Wu Sangui was young and energetic, and he took offense at the crime.

He is the young marshal of Shanhaiguan, he is used to the prestige in Shanhaiguan, how can he bear this grievance?

"Confused! Confused, brother-in-law! Sangui! You have never seen the strength of the conquering army! In front of them, we can't even count as mantis arms blocking the traffic! They attacked our Jinzhou City, and it took only a stick of incense time. It was so suppressed that we couldn't lift our heads, and the defenders at the top of the city collapsed, and all the red barbarian cannons were silenced.

If they attack the city with all their strength, I estimate that they will spend at most half a day... No!I estimate that within an hour, they will be able to capture the city.Your Shanhai Pass is indeed stronger than my Jinzhou city wall, and you have more soldiers, but how long do you think you can last in the face of such a strong place? "

Zu Dashou was heartbroken and asked a question.

"Suppress the garrison of Jinzhou City in one stick of incense? Capture Jinzhou City in one hour? Brother-in-law, your words are a little too exaggerated, right?" Wu Xiang took a slight breath.

"No exaggeration!"

Zu Dashou spoke solemnly, and told Wu Xiang and his son about the situation of the battle in Jinzhou City in detail.

Wu Xiang and his son were speechless for a long time after listening.

"The conscript army has conquered several cities in a row and captured the entire Liaodong within a month! They are as strong as Jiannu, and they are vulnerable to a single blow in their hands. The Mongol Tartars can only bow their heads and surrender. What's more, our Guanning army Woolen cloth?

Although our Guan Ning army is strong, it is far inferior to Jiannu and Mongols! "

Zu Dashou said.

Although Guan Ning's army is strong, it is only a local tyrant after all.

Jiannu and Mongols can compete with Ming Dynasty!
"Brother-in-law, Sangui, if you are divided enough to fight against the conscript army, the conscript army will definitely gather at the city's gates in the near future. To be honest, at that time, I am afraid I will not be able to defend the enemy side by side with you. Because I know that no matter how we fight Rebellion, in the hands of the conquering army, is just like ants. Sign these eleven articles carefully, don’t be an enemy of the conquering army, is this not good? Now, the world is changing, we just need to buy more guns and artillery from the conquering army, Accumulate strength to see future changes, this is the kingly way!"

Zu Dashou was earnest.

"it is good!"

Wu Xiang finally clapped his hands and made a decision.

"Just like what my brother-in-law said. The general situation of the world today is uncertain. Back then, Emperor Hongwu, the great ancestor, in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, also accumulated food widely and slowly became king, and finally succeeded in establishing the Central Plains. The conscript army was strong for a while, it was nothing. He If we are strong, let him be strong, as long as we survive, we will have a chance in the future."

"That's all!"

Wu Sangui also sighed heavily.

……

Corridor outside the Great Wall.

When the news came back that Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou both signed the "Eleven Articles of Cooperation with the Conquering Army and Military Government", Zhao Cheng had already walked to the No. [-] service area.

Looking at the information, Zhao Cheng just responded lightly, I got it.

Then, set it aside.

For this situation, he was not surprised at all.

Historically, neither Wu Xiang and his son nor Zu Dashou were people of integrity.

Zu Dashou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty twice in history, and Wu Sangui was even more famous as a big traitor.

In their eyes, there is no loyalty at all, only interests.

Don't just ask them to sign the Eleven Articles. Given the strength of the conscript army, as long as you put more pressure on them to surrender, they will surrender too.

With the eleven items, the front line of Guanning will gradually be infiltrated by the military government of the conquest army.

It is estimated that in the near future, conflicts will continue to erupt between the soldiers and civilians of the conscript army and the generals of the Guan Ning army.

However, the conscript army and civilians will definitely not suffer.

It's only a matter of time before Guan Ning's line is gradually encroached.

"Marshal, if you don't accept the night, you will be rewarded. After the death of the slave chief Huang Taiji, there seems to be a battle between the various tribes of Jiannu. In addition to the Tartars who died of illness, there are many people with sword wounds and arrow wounds on the grassland. Now , the Jiannu army is fleeing north and east.” Someone came forward to report.

"North, east?"

Zhao Cheng stood up and looked at the map.

Liaodong is next to Daming.Further north and east, the map area is still very large.

"This Lake Baikal is the deepest lake with the largest fresh water storage capacity in the world. It is also the lake of our Han people. It won't be long before our expeditionary army will graze horses on the shore of Lake Baikal.

Now Jiannu goes north, at most to the shore of Lake Baikal.To the east, they reached Nuer Gandusi at most.It doesn't matter, don't rush to chase them now, let them go.

With the style of building slaves, wherever they go, they must wipe out the local tribes, kill the old and weak, and plunder the young and strong.In this area, there are many deep mountains and old forests, and the primitive savages hide in the deep mountains, which is a headache.

Let Jiannu deal with them, gather them together, and finally let's deal with Jiannu, that's all. "

Zhao Cheng calmly told his generals about his blueprint.

As for whether Jiannu will become bigger and stronger after he escapes, and then threaten the conquering army, and make a comeback...

Not to mention Zhao Cheng, even the commanders of the conscript army were not worried at all.

Jian Nu is really too weak!

Now the conscript army can take out any legion at random, and they can wipe them all out.

The most important thing is, how long has it been since the conquest army developed?How long has Jian Slave been in development?
Now, the crusade army is attracting population on a large scale, building factories, investing in infrastructure, and reclaiming wasteland and farming on a large scale... The development is thriving, making rapid progress.

Jiannu will only be left further and further away.

Outside the Great Wall, the crusading army is almost invincible.

Along the way, Zhao Cheng felt a burst of satisfaction as he watched the fiery construction of the Corridor Beyond the Great Wall.

Everywhere he went, he praised the local grassland people for their ability to sing and dance, and asked each service area to hire a group of grassland people who were good at singing and dancing to perform dances.

A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.

Zhao Cheng is now brainwashing the grassland people - they are good at singing and dancing.

We will suppress without hesitation the grassland people who dare to take up arms; we must let the grassland people who are good at singing and dancing make their lives better and more dignified.

This is Zhao Cheng's strategy.

"Lin Danhan must be eliminated."

When marching outside Xuanfu Town, Zhao Cheng gave instructions.
