Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 301 Preliminary Stability
This night Song Qingshu was so ruthless that he was taken in by Song Qingshu in Shaanxi, and Tian Boguang, who was appointed as the Secretary of the Begging Army, wrote this in his future manuscripts.

It's a day, the commander-in-chief is quite like a great ancestor!
Taizu was talking about Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. What is Mr. Zhu famous for?The hottest and most famous!Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, and Ming Yuzhen who were against him were all killed without leaving any future troubles. In the future, among the heroes who were liquidated, there are countless people who implicated the whole family in several major cases. Wan, said that Song Qingshu has the demeanor of this heavenly killer, one can imagine what Song Qingshu did this night.

Anyway, almost all the people who were related to the Meng family in Huaniao village before disappeared, and more than 2 villagers were recruited into the Qihuo army in a loose appearance without a leader.

Surprisingly, after witnessing the big purge that night, the two guys, the prince of Niudung Mountain Horse and the head of the bone village, were released by the begging army the next morning.

Song Qingshu just gave them a word, you can figure it out yourself!
Previously, Huaniao Mountain gave the begging army three days, but this time, the two mountains did not even think about it for a day, so they brought the soldiers down the mountain and surrendered to the begging army. Damn, these thieves from the north are too ruthless. Who would dare to fight against him when the whole family was killed?He didn't have much ambition, he was a tyrant, and he didn't care about xenophobia. The two villages who were scared out of their guts didn't dare to delay for a second, and they all came over and surrendered.

The population of these two villages is not as large as that of Huaniaoshan, but there are more than [-] people. Eating them can be regarded as an expansion. Of course, this time Song Qingshu did not kill them all. Compensate them and allow them to participate in the operation of the tea farm

The way to beg servants is nothing more than giving grace and power together. Huaniaozhai, a young bird, took the lead in provoking the begging army, and then wiped them out with the force of thunder to show his might!As for the two monkeys who came to take refuge in Mawangyeshan, they should set an example for future generations and show kindness.

Of course, thunderbolts alone won't deter them for a long time, and the begging army still needs to make some substantial changes, so that they can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and replace Daming's orthodox position in the local area. This is a long-term job.

Although it is better to form a village in the mountains than the refugees who cannot survive outside and have nothing to eat and starve to death, but it is only a sigh of relief. The land reclaimed in the mountains is nominally owned by the village owners, and most of the farmers' harvest is If it is handed over, the prey hunted by the Orion will also belong to the Meng family, which is why the little Meng family has [-] dans of food.

The first step to win people's hearts, just like the Red Army's establishment of the base area, is the land reform first. Anyway, Song Qingshu followed the bourgeois route, and the land was of little value to him. The land of the original three villages was divided by him generously. It will be distributed to individual farmers.

But if you give it directly, this kind of gratitude will be much more indifferent. After plowing the fields he has been plowing, it will not take long for the mountain people to feel that they have returned to their original owners. The villagers under the three villages and the townspeople near the new county were completely replaced. Almost every household cultivated new land, and every household moved to another place. The original power of local snakes disappeared in smoke.

Then we have to let these copycats feel the benefits of the begging army. Xinxian looks poor, but it is really a treasure land. The tea mountain covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu. Others include granite mines, red gold stones, and tungsten mines. Song Qingshu has expanded successively. After opening a tea farm, they set up several mines and recruited a large number of people from Xin County to work as workers. Heaven's knot.

The miners in Yiwu that Qi Jiguang witnessed at the beginning fought for more than three months with the people of the nearby county because of the mine competition. , holding the jobs of the begging army, the hearts of these mountain people have gradually shifted.

There are still people in the hands. After cleaning and removing the old and the weak, there are more than 5000 suitable candidates. Song Qingshu selected [-], and formed a division again. This time Li Tiezhu came out and became a new division. The commander-in-chief brought a large number of people to station, built a barracks on the original site of Huaniao Village, and began to intensify training.

However, in the seven years of Chongzhen, the beggar army expanded too much. It expanded by more than half at once, and finally reached 1 people. Song Qingshu can also afford the money and the huge amount of food stored by King Fu, but the equipment can't keep up, and the training has also declined. After conquering the two villages near Xinxian County, the momentum of the begging army's expansion is slow at first. After we get down, we'll have three months of recruit training first.

The unlucky Liu Zongmin just made some meritorious service, and was soon arrested by Song Qingshu as a coolie. There is an iron mine hidden in the bone mountain, and there is also a tungsten mine in the cow dung mountain. Song Qingshu added an arsenal to the bone mountain. Assuming the title of minister of logistics, he started his old business again, recruited five or six hundred blacksmiths in nearby counties, and began to forge iron and steel.

Although it only occupies a new county on the outskirts of the Dabie Mountains, it is still far from taking the entire Yinghuo area and achieving the original goal of the Fifth Gezuo Battalion, but this foundation has been laid, just like Dai County in the north. Industry, fruit and chestnut industry, and Xinxian County, which is an arsenal, stood upright in the south under the rule of the Qihuo Army, and began to echo with Dai County in the north.

In September of the seventh year of Chongzhen, another matter that worried Song Qingshu also came to an end.

Before coming to the south, Song Qingshu promised the large and small shareholders of Shanxi merchants that within a year, they would expand the ticket office business to southern Zhili, achieving the effect of connecting the north and the south. Song Qingshu made a slip of the tongue on this matter.

After spending half a year in Henan, it was hard to get through, and finally came here, only to find that advancing into Huizhou is not an easy task, not to mention the [-] mountains, but Fengyang, the capital of the central capital, which is extremely sensitive to the imperial court, is sandwiched in the middle, Song Qingshu still doesn't want to poke this Hornet's nest, although the current begging army can be regarded as a communication between the north and the south, and the silver can be taken from Daixian County to Xinxian County. The well-developed outskirts of Zhili in the south of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are still somewhat incapable of competing with Huizhou merchants for the Huaiyang salt industry.

In order to make up for the shareholders, Song Qingshu had to find a way in Luoyang, but in the past few months, he also encountered the big and small things in Xinxian County and the non-supportive policy of Luoyang King Fu.

What do you mean by turning your face and denying others?King Fu was sent back to Luoyang safely by the begging army. Lord Fu really looked like a wronged child. Not only did Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan Province, come to ask for his health, but the imperial court issued an order to express condolences. The startled Emperor Chongzhen also ordered the strengthening of Luoyang. Defensively, Prince Fu, who had recovered his strength, gradually rejected the begging army after he helped Song Qingshu complete the tea ceremony at the beginning.

After the news of the death of Princess Yunjiao was reported to the imperial court and the official reply was received, Lord Fu never saw the people at Jiaduobao at all. Song Qingshu originally planned to open the first ticket office in Luoyang, and then entered Sichuan and started financial business in the Western Regions. As a result, King Fu This non-cooperation, without this big thick leg, things seem to have run aground.

At this time, looking at the letter from Luoyang and leaning on the newly renovated bamboo building of the county government, Song Qingshu really felt relieved and happy. King Fu did not cry when he saw the coffin. Now that he saw the coffin, he finally knew how to be afraid. up.

Just ten days ago, the peasant army that experienced the catastrophe of the Chexiang Gorge once again passed through Shangzhou and rushed out of Shaanxi. Hundreds of thousands of peasant troops were divided into more than ten groups, and the overwhelming force returned to Henan. Song Qingshu's feat, a hundred people captured King Fu out of the city, Luoyang seems to be a soft persimmon, Song Qingshu's handsome man has a record of robbing the king of the feudal vassal, as the current leader of the peasant army, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, all of them Staring at Luoyang.

Surrounded by a pack of wolves with green eyes, Song Qingshu didn't know what King Fu was thinking, but the issue of the ticket number came back to life. Not only did Zhu Changxun personally give a house under the palace to Jiaduobao as the ticket number The base, and personally went out of the palace to mention the words.

Zhao Sheng, one of the important leaders of the begging army who rushed to Luoyang from Dai County, also sent a letter to Song Qingshu. It seems that Gao Yingxiang is also inviting Song Qingshu to go north.

"Marshal, do you think it's time to go to the King's invitation?"

After reading the letters, Sun Chuanting frowned a little. The fight between the peasant army is like playing a house. It is not uncommon. The most famous one is the 16th year of Chongzhen, who succeeded to the throne. Li Zicheng, the leader of the Communist Party of China, merged with Cao Cao and Luo Rucai, and also killed Ge Liyan He Yilong, and merged into the largest peasant army in the north, laying the foundation for the capture of Beijing.

Now that the begging army is well-known, its influence in the peasant army even faintly overwhelms Gao Yingxiang. Who knows if Gao Yingxiang can openly discuss major issues and secretly attack Song Qingshu?

But listening to Sun Chuanting's worries, Song Qingshu smiled and waved his hands.

"Go, have to go!"

Did he know that in the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Xingyang Conference, which will determine the fate of the rebel army, is not far away. How can such a grand event be without him?
