Chapter 648: Official governance

Northwest of Liaoyang and northeast of Taizi River.

Bang bang bang!

Six heavy mortars lined up in a row, flying high with huge iron ejections, and then hit hard on the other side of the Prince River. The river water soared into the sky and silt was splashing everywhere. A large number of coats were coated, but the Han army hid in the trenches.

Behind the bunker, under the supervision of the bannerman's master, he defended the river to death. Six mortars bombarded for a while, and the positions of the enemy were chaotic. The Ming soldiers lined up in a row and attacked with large shields.

A large number of soldiers emerged from the trenches, and shrubs burst out from them to shoot arrows and fired guns.

Cold arrows pose little threat to the Ming army's attacking ranks. The Ming army used a large number of standing shields during the forward movement. The horizontal shield protected the ranks. Very few people died in battle with excellent cotton armor. Standing shields, cotton armor and even birds.

The weak bullets could be blocked, but with the advancement of the Ming army, the front shield formation could not be resisted, and the number of injuries gradually increased.

Bang bang bang bang!

The small cannons set up by the barbarian army on the fort wall also began to fire. Thirty-two-two-tall iron bullets hit the shield wall, instantly smashing the shield wall. The guns and the projectiles shot, and the Ming was rushing forward.

The army fell to the ground one after another. It was the Ming army's turn to experience the pain of the Later Jin army. They were killed and injured by a large number of small cannons. Although more injured and fewer died, they were actually reduced.

The two veterans Yuan Keli and Gao Zhen had no choice but to withdraw their troops, loaded their cannons and bombed them again.

This way, the defenses on the outer edge of Liaoyang were stripped off for a long time, and the ammunition consumed could not be calculated. I only knew that a ship of gunpowder was transported from Zhenjiang and was exhausted in three or five days. After calculating the battle of Liaodong for two months, I spent it.

After losing Taiwan, the two prefectures in Kaiyuan have tens of millions of taels of silver. It is estimated that the total cost of pacifying Liaodong will exceed 100 million taels of silver. This includes the pensions of soldiers, the food, clothing and ammunition consumption of the army will be astronomical.

Yuan Chonghuan woke up like a dream, and only then did he realize how ridiculous his counterattack against Liaodong was.

Kaiyuan and Taiwan prefectures dominated the Nanyang and monopolized the Strait of Malacca. With the support of blood transfusion from the colonies, they launched civil forces to support such a war. Compared with Macheng's big move, his strategy of Pingliao was the same.

As ridiculous as a three-year-old boy, he was in a complete stalemate against Liaodong, and Yuan Chonghuan was finally convinced.

Two days later, Yehecheng.

Yehe City, which is still under renovation, is worth every inch of land. If you have a little scheming, you can understand that Yehe City will become an important town in the northeast in the future. It is not only a barrier to protect Kaiyuan from the northeast, but also a transportation hub connecting Kaiyuan to Jianzhou.

. Every day, a large number of merchants brought large silver dollars and goods to Yehe. In addition, the supplies were transported to and from the newly appointed magistrate Yehe, Chang Huaide, the commander of the army and the road, was busy and did not touch the ground.

If you worry about business, you will be an official. Chang Huaide was appointed as the magistrate of Yehe as a businessman and the commander of the army. This was a major initiative of the Ming Dynasty and caused a sensation in Kaiyuan. The social order of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce was the golden words of Taizu, and it was not tolerated.

The status of merchants in the Ming Dynasty was very low. In the early years, there were regulations on dressing, eating, riding horses and riding sedan chairs, not to mention being an official, which was absolutely impossible.

Who is Chang Huaide? The second son of the Chang family in Shanxi was the first to raise a military force to conquer the world with Kaiyuan Mashuai.

However, this second young master Chang was just a student and had never even won a serious scholar. He became the magistrate of Ye He who was jealous of everyone and was also in charge of military affairs. He was really a hot position.

The newly established Yehe County Yamen, the military preparation yamen, and all Kaiyuan New Students were students. Except for a few books and books with lower positions, they were not even half of scholars and scholars, so the sensation caused was no less than a great victory.

.

Most of them are new students from poor families, and everyone is excited. The scholars who have read the books of sages for their whole life are full of complaints. However, Kaiyuan Mansion is now taking advantage of several great victories, and the momentum is at its peak.

The scholars and juren were unable to make trouble, so they could only complain in the restaurant and tea sect and drink crazy. Even so, whenever there were scholars and juren who slandered others out of thin air, smashed bad things, they were often invited back to eat by the visitor.

Tea.

The doctor was not punished and took the visiting office to invite some juren back to have tea. This incident caused a great response in Kaiyuan. Juren, that is the master who doesn't pay homage to the officials. What are the money to smash several restaurants?

The factory guards dared to invite the men back to have tea and detain them. How great is this? What a world is in chaos!

A few days later, Kaiyuan City.

A yard with blue brick and tiled house and a mansion, Wei Chao stood at the gate and looked at the plaque above his head, with four simple characters written on it, Kaiyuan Poetry Club. On the left and right, there were a large number of slew-armed staff holding short guns and shackles sitting in the yamen.

Inside the school, there are more and more scholars from old schools, and they are all friends.

Wei Chao stared at the plaque for a moment before calmly saying, "Pick it!"

A yamen runner from a gangster who was born in the world took out a hook rope from his waist and threw it out. The plaque of Kaiyuan Poetry Society landed on the ground, splashing dust all over the ground. Wei Chao covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, feeling happy in his heart, saying that the Ming Dynasty was

The factory guards have been bullied by scholars for many years, and have been spitted and spitted, becoming a lackey for everyone to kill. Now it is a place to find some revenge, and it is the turn of the factory guards to bully scholars again.

Hula, the scholars and fellow villagers in the poetry club exploded and shouted and cursed.

"A dog is so brave!"

"Kill these factory guards to death!"

The people were indignant, and the fellow scholars rolled up their sleeves and grabbed the stick on the door, and bricks rushed out. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were a privileged class. Killing people was called killing treacherous people, setting fires was called presidency, swearing at the emperor, and slaughtering the martial man.

, that is used to being arrogant, how could he keep a few factory guards in his eyes? He rolled up his sleeves and searched the guys and rushed forward.

Wei Chao glared at the triangular eyes, bang bang bang bang bang, several short guns were specially used to thighs. After the guns, the cries of crying fathers and mothers were heard. Everyone behind them were frightened and stood there on the spot.

"I killed someone, the factory guards killed someone!"

As the crying sounded, three yamen runners rushed forward, and when they approached, they smashed them hard, locked them with shackles and dragged them away. After a while, the door of the Kaiyuan Poetry Club was closed heavily, and two seals were wiped with paste.

With a snap, Kaiyuan Poetry Club became a piece of history, and the people and merchants around were shocked.

Kaiyuan was shocked and the public was in a raging way. This was a big shocking event.

The factory guard dared to injure the scholar in the street, and shackled the juren's neck, dragging him away like a dog. This matter caused a big deal to cause the factory guards involved to behead him, the cabinet fell, the chief minister, and the emperor came forward to comfort him.

This was the norm in the Ming Dynasty. Scholars were a group of people who were above the law and could not afford to offend anyone.

However, this was in Kaiyuan. Ma Cheng, who was supervising the battle on the front line, only snorted: "Closing it first, let these men get the fire first."

Tell me a reason, gather people to spread rumors, resist arrest in the street, and attack the police openly. Thanks to the Ming Dynasty, if this was the civilized world of later generations, it would be shot to death by the police in minutes. Scholars have mastered public opinion, and they would not be able to touch the clear discussion?
