Chapter 1074: Gathering in Hulao
In Hulao Pass, in just over a month, the General's Mansion, which was rebuilt from a white land, was already towering. The reason why it was completed so quickly was because the Ming Dynasty Ministry of Works transported a large amount of cement. Cement has now become another pillar industry in Taiping City, but the technology is not yet up to standard, so it is still difficult to produce a large amount of cement. These first batches of fired cement were originally used to strengthen the city wall of Yuejing. After diversion of water, the wall was applied to the city wall, and when it was dry and harder, it had extraordinary attacks on the defense of heavy weapons such as stone catapults. Naturally, it was transported to the capital for reinforcement of the defense of the capital. Yuejing City was originally made of stone mining, and after it was applied to another layer of thick cement, it was really solid.
In order to complete the construction of the General Mansion of Hulao in a short time, and to demonstrate the miracle of the Ming Dynasty to the people of Hulao, Qin Feng ordered a batch of cement from Yuejing to quickly build the General Mansion.
The Minister of Works cleverly supervised the worker. He dug deep pits on the former site of the General's Mansion, fixed the wire cages with formwork, and then cast cement. In just over ten days, it was built into the frame of the General's Mansion. It was August, and the sun was hot and the cement dripped very quickly. Once it could be further constructed, a large number of skilled workers began to cast walls and pave the floor.
It has to be said that after the country's power was mobilized, it was an extremely terrifying thing. It was supplemented by things such as steel and cement that ordinary people could not see. In just one month, a spectacular and majestic general's mansion returned to the people in the Hulao.
The entire General's Mansion stands in the center of Hulao Pass City. A majestic and solemn atmosphere naturally spreads. There is no decoration outside. However, this original color shows the iron-blooded energy of the General's Mansion, which is the place where the troops are commanded. Hulao is originally Qin, and its architecture advocates roughness and grandness and advocates primitive beauty. This huge gray building is just a coincidence that caters to the aesthetics of the locals.
In addition to this, what impressed the people of Hulao even more was the speed at which the Ming people built the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion, which originally thought that it would take at least more than a year to complete, reported the construction of the General's Mansion in just one month. It was originally thought that it would be necessary to mobilize a large number of civilians to collect stones and logs, but the entire General's Mansion was used very little. Even the soil was not enough. The soil obtained by the General's Mansion dug a hole was finally transported out of the city.
The locals really don’t know how the General’s Mansion was built, because all the people who came here to build were Ming people, and the locals were just involved in the early stage digging of pits.
What is even more shocking is that on the day of the construction of the General's Mansion, the Minister of Works of the Ming Dynasty ordered Li Shi to hold a hammer and beat the wall hard in front of countless people. The wall was indeed damaged, but everyone looked at the slightly concave pits on the wall, and they took a breath. If it were an ordinary house, they would be afraid that a big hole would be broken on the spot.
In this era, when encountering something that I don’t understand, I will probably promote it as a miracle. Qin Feng was in the city at this time, so he immediately made the greatest beneficiary of this incident, the son of God and the son of the emperor, who gained the reputation of the blessing of heaven, and in a short time, he began to spread from the tiger prison to the surrounding area.
This was beyond Qin Feng's expectations. He originally wanted the people of Hulao to see the strength of the Ming Dynasty and let these people understand that there is nothing wrong with following the Ming Dynasty, and there is a future for following me.
The General's Mansion was built and although the interior was still being renovated, Qin Feng had already moved in. This was also the unanimous opinion of the ministers of the Huzhuo. The current Huzhuo is far from calm. The loyal people under Dai Shulun still jumped out from time to time to cause damage. Although it was impossible to assassinate Qin Feng, it was just a collision with Qin Feng and disturbed Qin Feng's peace. Everyone felt uneasy. The original Fansi Mansion was really difficult to guard, and the newly built General's Mansion was different. Not only was the iron wall, but the interior design was also more reasonable. After skillfully sending people to work overnight and decorate one of the small courtyards, Qin Feng moved into the General's Mansion, and then a thousand fire death camps entered it.
Of course, these soldiers can only live in unfinished houses.
Even though the house was incense, the faint smell of lime could still be smelled. However, Qin Feng was born in the army and had never eaten any bitterness. It was common for him to lie on ice and snow. How could he take this odor in his heart? Moving into the general's mansion would also reduce the burden on his subordinates. He was naturally happy to follow the public opinion.
The emperor stayed in Hulao and planned to plan for Qin State. Naturally, he went to Hulao one after another. Except for Jin Jingnan, as a left-behind minister, who stationed in Yuejing City, the Minister of Rites, Old Man Xiao, thoughtfully implemented his plan to have a school in every village, all the other important officials gathered in the General's Mansion of Hulao.
Hulao Pass City is still under martial law. One is because Hulao is now unstable, and the other is because outside the Guancheng, the reorganization of the new army is still in full swing. Tens of thousands of strong men have to be guarded against in terms of emotion and reason. At night, the Guancheng is closed, and the inside and outside the Guanguan Pass is suddenly isolated. There are no pedestrians on the streets. Except for the footsteps of patrol soldiers and the sound of horse hooves, they no longer hear anything else.
The only brightly lit places in the city are one of the General's Mansion, the emperor's garrison, and the other are the troops stationed in the city.
At this moment, in the small conference hall, Qin Feng was laughing happily, waving a memorial in his hand, and saying to the ministers in the hall: "Ma Yue was crazy, and he was in Yongdu to kill Deng Hong and kill the entire Deng family. Poor Deng family, and today, he finally shed his last drop of blood for Qin."
In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, killing Deng Hong was tantamount to the most confusing decision of Ma Yue, but for the Ming Dynasty, it was a happy event. Once Deng Hong died, whether it was the Huzhu surrendered army or the Qingzhou Lu Ding, they would inevitably lose their last little confidence in the Qin court. Deng Hong commanded the Qin border army for decades, not only generals, but also soldiers, but also soldiers, and they still recognized this commander. Once Deng Hong died, the Deng family destroyed the family, and their last sustenance was shattered.
"This news can be passed down one after another, let the officers know first, see their reactions, and then release them downward. Such sensational news should still give the people of Hulao a time to accept digestion." Chief Minister Quan Yun pondered, "I feel that it is not appropriate to let the public know immediately."
"The chief minister is a man who is planning the country." Qin Feng nodded and said, "Although this news can't be hidden for long, let the officers know first, and then the confidants of these officers will know that conveying this layer by layer will be better than the effect of a notice, and everyone will accept it in a process to avoid causing unnecessary chaos."
The kitten stood up and said, "We blocked the Hulao here, and the news can still be controlled, but the Qin controlled the area, the news cannot be blocked. However, for us, this is also a good thing. At least, Yang Zhi and Yu Chao attacked Xingyuan County. After Deng Hong was executed, they were really out of control. When the ministers came in, they happened to receive their military report. They had surrounded Xingyuan County City, and there was no fighting spirit in the county city. Yang Zhi guessed that he was afraid that Xingyuan County City would surrender without a fight."
"Very good." Qin Feng smiled and said, "It is best to be defeated without fighting. Just as we are about to fight, we have to clean up the mess. If Xingyuan County surrenders, the officials there may be able to stay on the spot. First, they can have the heart of Xingyuan County, and secondly, it can be regarded as giving Lu a template to go where to go. If General Lu doesn't make a decision, don't blame me for being rude. I don't want to be like a swaying person standing by the side when the decisive battle with Ma Yue."
"Your Majesty is wise!" The kitten nodded: "Rui Jin, miners and other battalions in the Central Theater Command have been ready to set off. If Lu must not be tactful, he will have to use him to practice his skills first."
"Your Majesty, there are still a large number of merchants in Yongdu in our Ming Dynasty who were arrested and detained by the Qin people. At the time when the two countries started a war, they were afraid that they would be worried about their lives and became victims of Ma Yue's anger. My Ming Dynasty cannot sit idly by this. No matter what, they have to do something to the heart of the people of Anguo!" Fang Dazhi stood up and said.
The merchants who could take root in the capital of Qin Yongdu were naturally not small families. After the war in Hengdian a few years ago, the Ming merchants marched into Qin and the Ming Dynasty. The Ming merchants who could compete for a place with the local Qin State in Yongdu were naturally behind the Ming Dynasty's huge merchants and gentry. Fang Dazhi had close contact with the merchants and was the most trusted by the Ming Dynasty's merchants. At this time, he stood up and spoke, and was naturally entrusted by these big merchants.
In fact, whether it is Quan Yun, Xiaomao and others, they have not considered this issue. For them, these people have nothing to do with the overall situation. If they really die, the Ming Dynasty would have an excuse to attack Qin.
"At this time, the court did not speak more." Qin Feng pondered for a moment, "Ma Yue was already extremely hated by the Ming Dynasty. If we speak at this time, we would add fuel to the fire and really harm these people's lives. But what Fang's Ministry of Personnel said makes sense. If I don't do anything, I will inevitably feel cold as the people of the Ming Dynasty. Let the people in the Eagle Nest move. Yongdu thinks about a way to see if some people can be rescued and will not hesitate to money. Now Ma Yue and his son are all thinking about forming a large army and raising money and grain. These small merchants are not worth mentioning in their eyes. Maybe they have forgotten them a long time ago, and they should still have a lot of room for operation."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Dazhi nodded repeatedly. In fact, when he mentioned this topic at this time, he did not expect the court to do anything. He was only entrusted by the great merchants. He had to say a few words, just to do his best. But now His Majesty still gave a solution to let the Eagle Nest come forward. No matter how much it can be rescued, it is all the heart of the court. These merchants should also be grateful for the court's kindness. Of course, they have made some efforts in this, so naturally those people will not forget it.
