Chapter eight hundred and ninth squeeze
Lu Xiangsheng frowned and watched a whole team of soldiers get off the carriage.
The carriage is very beautiful, with a streamlined body. Each car is pulled by four horses. The horse is in good condition. He Yusheng has endless horse supplies, so he uses horses as well as possible. Moreover, the military department takes good care of the horses. Each horse is fat and strong. Even if it is not a famous horse, it looks much better than ordinary people feeding it.
The body of the car is not big, and each car can sit eight to ten people. On one side of the car is an iron-clad car panel that can block bows and arrows, on the other side is a car door and a small glass window. People can vaguely see the situation inside through the foggy green glass. They see soldiers wearing gray robes sitting upright, and then they see them opening the door to get off.
Every soldier who was in Yusheng wore the same gray military robe, copper buckle, military standard, military cap, military boots, and cowhide leather belts on his body and then crossed to his waist. The belt was very tight, and it showed the soldier's figure and a strong atmosphere with long-tube military boots.
On the belt are hung boxes and boxes filled with gunpowder, as well as kettles, lunch boxes, knives and other sporadic items.
Behind them is a backpack. These baggage soldiers have just been transferred here and have not lived in a fixed barracks, so there are many things they carry with them.
Each soldier carried a musket with a bayonet hanging around his waist.
After the Battle of Thirteen Mountains, the bayonet phalanx was tested in real practical combat. The facts proved that the bayonet phalanx was very effective and useful as a supplement to the array. Now the baggage soldiers who went out to perform tasks were supplemented first, and the warriors who were resting on the grassland had to wait for a while.
The Weapons Bureau will work overtime every day, mobilize more people to grind the bayonet, and replenish all combat troops as soon as possible.
The baggage soldiers and gunmen got off the car and lined up in a row, holding their heads and chests, looking straight ahead.
A warrior wearing a team-level sergeant stood at one end of the queue, and he was wearing a handle around his waist, which was a standard ration that only warriors had.
After the Battle of Thirteen Mountains, the baggage soldiers were increasingly valued as a supplement to the combat soldiers. Although many baggage soldiers were older and were smeared from the combat soldiers at the beginning of the recruitment, more baggage soldiers were clearly supplemented by the combat soldiers when they first recruited. Now it seems that the training intensity of baggage soldiers is slightly worse, but it is actually very useful. Now the military department mobilized some excellent combat soldiers and gunmen from Lizhuang and grassland. They strengthened training and control of the baggage soldiers in daily life, and constantly used excellent performances among the baggage soldiers to enter the combat soldiers. At the same time, these battle soldiers were also a kind of tempering.
Every soldier sent out has added the rank of sergeant, and they will also be tempered and gain a lot of experience.
When He Yusheng's soldiers got off the train, no one present could look elsewhere.
The number of soldiers with more than a dozen people was not large, but everyone present felt a sense of oppression and threat.
Of course, this is also their psychological effect. He Yusheng's military law is extremely strict, and almost no matter how hostile He Yusheng people are, they have to admit this. The military discipline of this army is much higher than that of the Ming army, but one thing is strange. The higher the status and status, the more threats the Ming literati and doctors, the lower the status, the more they feel, the more they have to feel for this army. After a short period of time, their favorability for this army will increase significantly.
Lu Xiangsheng frowned. Recently, the court's attitude towards He Yusheng was very obvious, mainly squeezing and restricting.
The relatives in Henan have expressed a very obvious attitude. As long as you dare to cross the river with Yusheng, Zhang Han will definitely lose all his money.
Of course, this is just a private saying. Zhang Han had just made great contributions. The emperor had ordered the Cabinet Ministry of War and other relevant departments to discuss the rewards to Zhang Han. Of course, it was not because of the credit for seizing Qingcheng, but because of the war under Yulin City and the great contribution to helping Liao Town transport food and grass. There was also a battle under the Thirteen Mountains. After several contributions, Zhang Han would definitely receive the reward. Although he was young today, he still had this little bit of money.
Lu Xiangsheng did not do anything in Daming Mansion, but it did not prevent him from expressing his attitude.
We are opposed to the expansion of Daming Mansion by Yusheng. If possible, local governments can also take some "small moves", such as shooting a few flights, not renting a house, taking back the property in advance, etc. It should be easy for gentry from all over the country to deal with foreign merchants... However, the results have not been good so far.
Exclusion did not have much effect. Not long after the Heyusheng system entered Daming Prefecture, a large number of high-quality and low-priced ironware was still impacting the original market of Daming Prefecture. The people were really short of ironware. In the past two years, many merchants began to sell Heyusheng's ironware from the capital. Some people were in Zhangjiakou or Dezhou, but the distance was too long and the amount in the capital was insufficient. After all, the capital corresponded to the entire northern market. Jiubian Jun Town consumed a lot of ironware and raw iron. It was precisely because of insufficient production that the iron farm and newly established blast furnaces were reopened in Zunhua. This year's output was truly increased, and it could be large enough from Zhending Daming to Henan border.
Even with the current output, it will take several years for iron tools to be truly saturated in the northern market.
At that time, you can also open up markets in southern Shaanxi and Sichuan and go southwest through other business roads.
You can also cross the river and go to the south of the Yangtze River. This should be done by relying on sea transportation to open up new markets and by crossing rivers in the south of the Yangtze River.
These should be plans three to five years later. At present, the iron tools produced by Heyusheng are still in short supply. The main reason is that a large number of iron tools are exported to Japan and then transferred from Japan to Nanyang. The entire Nanyang countries and Japan are extremely scarce.
On the premise of higher profits, Heyusheng is sure to guarantee exports, and domestic trade is far from saturated.
Lu Xiangsheng's brows frowned and loosened... He had no choice. Local officials were very clear about the situation of iron shortage among the people. Unless the court strictly ordered He Yusheng's caravan to enter, the local officials would be powerless.
Compared with the few gentry who hope to make a difference in politics, the small and medium gentry, merchants and the people were extremely welcome to enter He Yusheng.
"I have met the prefect." A shopkeeper of Yusheng hurried over. Lu Xiangsheng noticed that he was a very young shopkeeper, who was in his twenties.
"I'm here to see the director of the Daming Mansion of Hutchison Company," the young shopkeeper laughed and knelt down to salute, saying, "The surname is Xu Mingrui, I've met the prefect."
"You are Xu Xiaoqi." Lu Xiangsheng made a screaming gesture and said, "Did you once be in the mansion of Fang Ge Lao?"
"It's Xu Xiaoqi below." Xu Rui stood up and smiled, "I have indeed served the prime minister for a while."
"Is it good for Mr. Fang to be from his original home?"
"I heard that the prime minister was a good day except for studying and climbing and fishing." Fang Congzhe would have passed away for more than three years. During his death, the Ming Dynasty was still calm. Although there were many hidden worries, the former prime minister had seen too many ups and downs. Fang Congzhe no longer worried about national affairs and lived a leisurely life every day.
"It's enviable." Lu Xiangsheng sighed and then said to Xu Xiaoqi: "Today's incident was caused by you and Yusheng. How do you think it will be resolved?"
Xu Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Your Madam is not afraid to take this from you. If the thief does not rob you, you will also think about robbing other families. Under the thief's rule, which one is good? To put it another way, it's good that we and Yusheng are robbing us. The thief was beaten away. If other families may have succeeded, and they will kill and robbed people and spread, it will not be good for the thief's official voice."
A semicolon director, or a branch manager, actually talked about big names like Lu Xiangsheng, and seized the loopholes in Lu Xiangsheng's words and fought back.
Lu Xiangsheng was still very young, and there was a clear look of anger on his face.
Before the other party got angry, Xu Xiaoqi rushed to say, "But don't worry, sir. Yusheng and I have always taken the position of stabilizing the place. I heard that sir has just now had a way to stop the verge of death. No matter what, we will cooperate."
...
After two quarters of preparation, Shi Kefa went to replace the hostages. Lu Xiangsheng and one of his subordinates were good at shooting. The two changed their robe and prepared bows and arrows. The third archer was sent by Yusheng to the warrior, gunman sergeant.
The soldiers brought two more gunmen, and he said in a simple manner: "If the bow and arrow are not hit, these two people can make up for it."
Lu Xiangsheng didn't mind. He was actually very interested in these soldiers.
Of course, he also has absolute confidence in his ejaculation skills. Lu Xiangsheng is tall and thin, and has a very white skin color, which has a clear record in history.
But he was also the one with the best skills in riding and shooting among the officials in the late Ming Dynasty and the highest personal martial arts.
After the establishment of the Tianxiong Army, Lu Xiangsheng charged forward every time he fought, and was the first-class master of slashing and slashing his sword and riding and shooting at the horse. Among the late Ming officials, only Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng had their own soldiers, so it was very easy for them to command military generals. One was his ability and personal charm, plus his official power and status, and the other was that he had his own team and was not easily controlled by military generals.
If you have your own team and at the Governor-level official who is highly skilled in martial arts, then only Lu Xiangsheng is the only one.
In Lu Xiangsheng's own words, he had never lost after dozens of battles. Hong Chengchou was far behind in the chaotic battlefield in the late Ming Dynasty.
"It's going to start." Lu Xiangsheng reminded the warrior gunman.
He looked at the gunman who was Yusheng for a while. These gunman were all in the same outfits, but the one who was at the beginning had a rank of a sergeant, which was a very obvious copper logo. In addition, the man's big hat was red and his military trousers were blue, which was obviously different from the entire gray color of the baggage soldiers.
"It seems that this is He Yusheng's elite soldier." Lu Xiangsheng thought.
He had a deep impression of these soldiers. When he got off the bus, everyone looked a little tired on their faces, but they were soon lined up. More than a dozen people quickly unfolded, and the muskets were taken off and the preparations were made. Everyone was not nervous and their expressions were very calm.
