Nanming: I can build wonders
Chapter 57
Chapter 57
Seeing such a sharp weapon of war made Qiu Hui's heart itch. He really wanted to take Dongning Shenlei now and go back to Dahao Island to fight to the death with the Qing army.
Fortunately, Zheng Kezang told him that the output is limited now, and he needs to be patient for a while, and when the guards' expansion is completed, they will fight back together.
"Jianguo, the guards have strict military discipline and unique tactics. With such a strong army, it's no wonder they can defeat Wan Zhengse." Although Qiu Hui was in Chaozhou Prefecture, he had heard of Wan Zhengse's reputation.
To forge iron, you need to be hard on your own. After all, grenades are auxiliary things. Only a strong army with sharp weapons can be invincible.
"Jianguo, please send a few soldiers of the Imperial Guards for use by me. I want to use them to train my subordinates." Qiu Hui's strategic shift this time can be regarded as a retreat, and he brought two thousand soldiers over.
Seeing the guards' maneuvers, he was delighted to see Lie Xin, and wanted to introduce his Qiu family army.
"Of course, Uncle Zhongyong, take a look, this is the meeting gift I prepared for you." After speaking, he took the "Dongning Infantry Exercise Code" from his subordinates and handed it to Qiu Hui solemnly.
After a long battle, Qiu Hui flipped through a few pages and was so shocked that he almost offered his knee to Zheng Kezang.
But he also had his own doubts, and asked Zheng Kezang: "Your Highness, I can be regarded as a man who knows soldiers. This drill is unparalleled in the world, but the problem is that the training intensity is too high. Can the soldiers bear it?"
Hearing Qiu Hui's words, Zheng Kezang said with his hands behind his back: "Uncle Zhongyong once knew the method of selecting troops for the famous general Qi Shaobao in my dynasty. The guards I recruited were based on his standards. First of all, they must be in good health. , followed by the children of a good family, and I give them two taels of silver every month to ensure that they have two meals a day and almost every meal, so although the training is hard, the soldiers can persevere."
They were given a tael of silver before, but this time the Zhugang victory, the bold Zheng Kezang gave them all a salary increase, which is the treatment they have been on the battlefield.
Qiu Hui was dumbfounded after hearing this, this condition is really good, if he had given this condition when he was young, he would also be willing to fight the world with Zheng Kezang.
"By the way, Uncle Zhongyong, you can send some of your men to study at my Dongning Military Academy, and let them study the "Dongning Infantry Exercise Code"."
"I'm so happy, Your Highness, I don't care about anything else, Dongning Shenlei can provide me with everything." Qiu Hui begged.
"That's natural. Uncle Zhongyong is the minister of the humerus of my Yanping Palace."
Zheng Kezang continued to take Qiu Hui to visit the guard camp, which made him amazed again and again.
After a light rain, the breeze is blowing, and the tip of the nose is smelling the fragrance of the soil. The willows and weeds in the distance are flying in the wind. From time to time, the sound of birds can be heard in the distance. Everything around is exuding a breath of new life.
Right now is the spring plowing season. After the beginning of spring, the people of Dongning Prefecture need to plow the land before sowing. At this time, many people are busy in the fields, planting the land, watering, transporting fertilizer, and a busy scene.
As the saying goes, autumn plowing is deep and spring plowing is shallow.
Spring plowing is like turning cakes, and autumn plowing is like digging a well.
Spring plowing is one inch deep, and it can be topped with dung.
Chun Geng refuses to be busy, and his face turns yellow after autumn.
Rake well and rake well, only crops will grow but grass will not grow.
The crops do not recognize their fathers and mothers, and they work intensively to harvest more grain.
Today is the day of spring plowing, Zheng Kezang got up early, and after having breakfast with Concubine Chen, he ran to the cultivated field on the outskirts of Dongning Mansion to preside over the sacrificial ceremony of spring plowing, and planted sweet potatoes and potatoes by the way.
That's right, the ten acres of sweet potato seedlings and ten acres of potato seedlings he had exchanged with the system had already been picked up!
They are all high-yield varieties in the future, with a yield of several thousand catties per mu.
More importantly, Zheng Kezang's guano-digging fleet has returned.
In order to ensure the quality of spring plowing, Zheng Kezang sent a large number of ships to bring back nearly [-] tons of guano manure rich in nitrogen and phosphorus elements from a small island in the South China Sea.
The various benefits of sea guano have been published in the "Dongning Daily". Every household in Dongning Prefecture can come to receive a hundred catties of guano for free. The quantity is limited and first come, first served.
"Your Highness, Chief Envoy Chen Yonghua and Household Officer Yang Ying have been waiting for a long time. Are you riding a horse? Or a carriage?"
When the guard Mao Xing saw Zheng Kezang coming, he asked.
Zheng Kezang glanced at him lightly and said, "Let's take the carriage today."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Recently, the infrastructure and roads of Dongning Mansion have been well constructed, which is very suitable for traveling by horse-drawn carriage. Today he is lazy and does not ride a horse.
Zheng Kezang, Chen Yonghua and others came outside the palace, and a tall carriage with four majestic white horses was parked here. The carriage was made of high-quality sandalwood, 2 meters high, 2 meters wide, and 5 meters long...
The appearance of the carriage is majestic and luxurious, and the exquisite carvings and gilt decorations on the walls reveal elegance and nobility!
The door of the carriage is open, and the design is very user-friendly!
Seeing Zheng Kezang coming out, Mao Xing quickly took out a low stool and placed it on the ground, and opened the car door very graciously.
Compared with the exterior, the interior of the compartment is more luxurious. The comfortable seats are all made of leather, and everything you can see is round and curved without any corners.
The inner wall is covered with bright yellow silk, the floor is soft carpet, a rosewood table is placed right next to the seat, there is a small incense burner on the table, and white smoke is emitting intermittently from it. It's the best sandalwood!
"Drive!" With the groom's whip slapping down, the luxurious carriage rolled forward, heading towards the Yizheng Hall of Dongning Mansion.
After arriving at the Palace of Political Affairs, Zheng Kezang first inspected the seeds prepared by the officials, and then led the officials, carrying farm tools and seeds, in a luxury carriage, to the sound of drums, to the fertile land on the outskirts of Dongning Mansion.
Generally speaking, spring plowing is presided over by the emperor himself to show the importance he attaches to farming, and to pray for a year of good weather and a bumper harvest. Usually, it is the abbot of Zheng Jinglai.
It's just that Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping, has been unwell recently, so Zheng Kezang, the supervisor of the country, will do it for him this time.
At this time, Zheng Kezang came to the Xiannong Altar built on Yizhou Island. The officials of the household department had already arranged the five grains and three animals for offering sacrifices to the Shenlong family. Great ceremony, reading sacrificial text aloud, praying for good weather and good harvest of food.
After the sacrifice, Zheng Kezang changed into clothes for spring plowing, and was led by the household official Yang Ying to the middle of the one-acre three-point land, where he stood facing south, and other ministers who participated in the plowing ceremony stood on the high Huan on both sides.
At this time, Liu Dian, the official of ceremonies, handed Zheng Kezang a whip, and said in a loud voice: "Please supervise the cultivation of the country so as to teach the people."
Zheng Kezang took the whip, held the whip in one hand, and supported the plow in the other, and drove the oxen to plow the land to show that spring plowing had begun.
At this time, Zheng Kezang plowed back and forth three times, and after the ministers plowed nine times, the surrounding people lit firecrackers and burst into cheers.
After the spring plowing ceremony, the tense spring plowing in Fuge Village of Dongning began.
Zheng Kezang immediately ordered that officials of various ministries should pay close attention to spring plowing, and urged the people to cultivate intensively. At the same time, guano should be distributed in place to ensure a good harvest this year.
Later, Zheng Kezang took Chen Yonghua and Yang Ying to the place where he planned to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, which was in the north of Dongning Prefecture, where the people of Tongshan City were resettled.
