Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

"Weizhou on the Western Front sent a letter of apology, and the Western Route Army suffered a loss. In Jinping County, they were intercepted by armed landlords organized by local tycoons. More than a thousand refugees who surrendered to our Keelung Army died and more than 4,000 were injured. More than 170 soldiers were killed and nearly 500 were injured. This is a huge loss that our Keelung Army has never had since its establishment!"

"Weizhou raised troops to take revenge on the third day after the incident. As a result, they were ambushed at Jintianwei and other strongholds, and they returned defeated. More than a hundred people were killed or injured!"

What Weizhou didn't expect was that less than ten days after he handed in his apology document, a messenger from Keelung via Lingnan and then to Hong Kong Island delivered Qin Hao's approval to him.

"After losing the battle, you plan to just plead guilty and end it? Isn't this my rule in Keelung? Wherever you are defeated, you should get back your face! No matter whether they are tigers or grasshoppers, all obstacles in the way will be wiped out!"

On his confession document, Qin Hao wrote a few lines of words with cinnabar, and the bright red cinnabar dripped like blood.

"What do you mean, lord?"

He looked at Lu Zaiyi, the adjutant of the Government Affairs Hall who accompanied the messenger, and tried to find the answer from him.

"My lord has said that you cannot be entirely blamed for the Jin Ping matter. The main responsibility lies with him. He did not consider that the clan forces in the mainland are so strong and stubborn. During the discussion, many people said that they wanted to replace you, and even the lord was a little a little worried after hearing this. Shaken. But the eldest lady said something to you and changed the lord's mind, so that your position is the most stable." Lu Zaiyi, who accompanied the messenger, had a proud smile on his face.

It turned out to be the credit of the little princess Ling'er? !

Ever since he had a daughter who was a little older, Qin Hao has developed a habit of bringing little Ling'er with him when discussing matters. He set up a seat for her and asked her to listen, which was a kind of experience and training for her. educate.

I don't pay much attention to my eldest son Qin Yu, mainly because he is still young. What can a three-year-old child understand? It is very troublesome when he cries. The seven-year-old little Ling'er is the age that makes people like him.

During breaks in meetings, Qin Hao would sometimes test the school's precious daughter on some of the matters discussed in the meeting to see what her opinions were.

When the council was discussing how to deal with the ambush and setback in Jinping County, someone from the Military Staff Department suggested that Weizhou was not doing well in leading the troops and suggested that Weizhou be replaced as the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army and that he be transferred back to continue to take charge of camp affairs. To handle matters, let someone else go to Lingnan to handle matters.

Zhang Hu, who rushed back from other places, also expressed to Qin Hao before the meeting that he was willing to go to Lingnan to help Weizhou open up the situation.

"Dad, I think this is wrong!"

"What's wrong, my little princess?" Qin Hao held Xiao Ling'er in his arms lovingly.

"If I change people, I have to re-familiarize myself with the local situation. Isn't it going to be more of a delay? If I go back and forth, I won't be able to make any big moves for at least a few days, and it will be detrimental to the morale and morale of the military in Hong Kong. Moreover, Brother Weizhou has just gone to Daming. Dad, why don’t you give him one more chance?”

Xiao Bai Ling suddenly said this, making the people who were having a heated discussion stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at this maiden with a new look.

"So, my lord changed his mind and stopped mentioning the change of generals. He wrote a letter to you and me. He asked us to work together to get things done in Lingnan, and don't let the little princess down!"

It turns out to be the merit of the eldest lady!

Weizhou was a little at a loss.

"Don't think about anything else. Just remember this matter in your heart. If the eldest lady needs you for something in the future, as a minister, just remember to contribute and repay the favor!" Lu Zaiyi said.

Weizhou was a little confused about how to work together. Now he was a little confused and couldn't see the situation clearly. He was not sure what to do next.

The courier took out a document from the picture bag he carried with him, asked Lu Zaiyi and Wei Zhou to inspect the fire seal on it, and then took out a receipt and asked them to sign for it.

"This is a letter written by my lord. He said that he wants to reorganize the branches, joint numbers, and trading shops of the Qin and Han Dynasty companies in Lingnan, and use them all to deal with this group of landowners in Jinping County! In addition, , starting from the day the letter arrived, I have ordered not to have any dealings with merchants related to these wealthy people in Jinping County, and to seize the time to collect the accounts. "

This is to complete the economic encirclement and suppression of the five major families in Jinping County! Weizhou chewed the meaning of Lu Zaiyi's words.

After opening the overly thick letter, Weizhou laughed at the courier with some self-deprecation, "Others are making great progress, but I am the only one who is dejected. Alas! It's a matter of character! The master's idea is a bit overwhelming!" "

The messenger smiled happily after hearing this.

"Weizhou, don't think that just because Zhang Hu on the southern front won the battle? To be honest, the enemies they faced were far less vicious and cunning than the enemies we face now, and they were good at deceiving people. These powerful landlords are all locals and have been working hard for many years. , prestige is not something that you and I can easily remove.

Compared with the local tycoons in Jinping, the Spaniards who were trapped on an isolated island and surrounded by Chinese compatriots had neither organization nor popular support. Moreover, General Amorim had been working in Luzon for many years and knew the details well, so he was able to capture him in one go. If Zhang Hu comes, he may not be able to do better than you. "

After listening to Lu Zaiyi's encouragement, Weizhou's confidence increased greatly and he wanted to plan how to solve the problem of powerful Lingnan landlords.

After learning that Jin Ping was frustrated, Qin Hao also racked his brains to think about where the problem came from.

For this reason, he actually had trouble sleeping and eating, tossing and turning.

Seeing this, Bai Ling'er couldn't help but feel very distressed, "So many famous names and generals have been wiped out by you, and a few wealthy gentry have made it so difficult for you?"

After hearing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but reply, "How complicated is this?!"

"Think about it, if I don't deal with them today, how will I deal with the wealthy families and gentry in the mainland of Ming Dynasty in the future?! They are even more difficult to deal with than the landlords. They are all guys who eat people without spitting out their bones."

My dear, there will be more after this chapter^.^,

Seeing that her husband was so confused, Bai Ling'er couldn't say anything else, so she could only comfort him with gentle words and let him go to bed to rest and think about it tomorrow.

While sleeping, Qin Hao vaguely heard someone saying a few words in his ear.

"Who are our friends and who are our enemies?"

"Grand gentry, small and medium landowners, yeoman farmers, middle peasants and poor peasants."

"Reduced rents during the third to fifth period and reduced interest rates during the second to fifth period."

“Divide and disintegrate the enemy, disintegrate the enemy from within.”

"The Ming Dynasty was all about land. It solved the peasant problem and won the world!"

Sitting at the table and trying to recall the words he heard in his dream, Qin Hao suddenly woke up.

Since you local tyrants and evil gentry can use the ties of land and clan blood ties to organize manpower and arms to fight against me. Then, I can also learn, and I can also use the land issue to deal with you!

Attack the local tyrants to divide their land and let your power collapse from within.

Besides, I have an advantage over you, I have a gun barrel in my hand!

In this thick letter, Qin Hao gave Weizhou a detailed explanation of his views and solutions to the Jinping problem.

"My lord ordered the military department to dispatch two thousand people to Hong Kong Island to await dispatch. In addition, a hundred people were dispatched from graduates of the political hall and various villages to be dispatched here."

"I also selected ten guys from Qin and Han merchants who are familiar with the situation in Jinping County and ordered them to wait here."

The messenger and Lu Zaiyi explained to him their respective manpower support for Weizhou.

"My lord has said, this Jinping County is just our Keelung's experimental field in Daming. We must first understand the situation here, understand it, and do a good job in this basic plan, so that we will not make bigger mistakes when we take over the Central Plains in the future. There is no need to rule the world with those landlords and gentry."

"Hello, my lord! Zhou will definitely complete the mission!" When thinking of the days to come, Weizhou's eyes were filled with hope.
