In the sixth year of Chongzhen, the battlefield of the bandit suppression in the sixth year was to catch fires everywhere and put out fires everywhere. In February, the bandits entered northern Zhili and successively captured Zhaozhou, Xishan, Shunde, Zhending and other places, and Baoding was in a hurry. Then they defeated Zuo Liangyu in Wu'an, and many officials died in battle.

In June, the troops of Deng Qi of the Sichuan Army shot and killed Zijinliang in Jiyuan and were soon defeated in Lin County. On November 24, the peasant army flew on the frozen ferry of the Yellow River and rushed out of the encirclement; conquered the three counties of Mianchi, Lu family, and Yiyang (now Ruyang) and entered Henan from Shaanxi. Henan Governor Yuan Mo heavily blocked the troops, and the peasant army turned south, passing through Ruzhou (now Linru) to Xichuan, Neixiang, Guanghua and Nanyang. After that, the peasant army divided the army from the joint camp, and the old Huihui and other five battalions of peasant army attacked Huguang.

It is impossible not to say that Zhu Youjian was too unlucky. Seeing that the bandits were about to be encircled and suppressed, the Yellow River was frozen, and then rushed into Henan. From then on, the situation in the Central Plains became uncontrollable and swept half of Henan Province.

Zhang Fengyi, Minister of War, did not have a high evaluation in history books. In the Ming Dynasty, he used "weakness and listlessness" to describe him. Faced with the surging wave of thieves, he could not come up with a practical solution. Chongzhen didn't like him very much, so why didn't he replace him? The history books did not say it.

After the winter began, Chen Xie's Dengzhou Camp did not move much. Lushun was busy with construction and the wharf was necessary. The main force of the Dengzhou Navy stayed in Lushun Port for a long time. He went out for a walk to see what was there to grab. Uh, it was not grabbing, it was inspection.

The orders from the Ministry of War were one after another, one by one more urgent. Zhang Fengyi was not annoyed, and Chen Xie was bothered. But every time Chen Xie replied to the Ministry of War the same thing. The troops needed to rest and sent troops before the end of the year. Now everyone knows that Dengzhou Camp can fight, but the Ministry of War won't let go of this life-saving straw. It can only be repeated urging, and the wording becomes more and more severe.

Chen Xie was all there was to this and continued to reply according to the original meaning. The Ministry of War's "severe punishment" in the letter was exchanged for Chen Xie sneering: "Bite me." Then Chen Xie continued to do whatever he should do. Recently, Chen Xie had been wandering around various factories. The scale of the Military Weapon Bureau was so large that there were more than 5,000 senior craftsmen. In addition to other craftsmen and apprentices, 20,000 people could not defeat them. The subordinate artillery factory, rifle factory, gunpowder factory, armor factory, and a preliminary military merit system has been formed. In this way, before the steel mill and shipyard were included, Chen Xie found that the working class team was in Dengzhou, and there were 50,000 or 60,000 people under his own industry alone. The entire Dengzhou Prefecture, divided by class, could have more than 100,000. In just a few years, it can be seen that once industrialization starts, the development speed will inevitably be rapid.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, the first 3,000-level large ship was launched. According to modern algorithms, the standard displacement of this warship is 1,000 tons. Compared with the West of the same period, this ship is considered a small boat. But in the Ming Dynasty, this is a top-level large ship.

According to the model provided by Chen Xie, the warship produced by amplification ratio uses a triangular soft sail, two decks, 40 artillery pieces, and 235 people. It is close to the level of the British standard fourth-class warship, but it is also a little worse. The peak work of the fifth-class warship is characterized by its fast speed, can run at a level of 12 knots, long range of naval guns, and long rifled cannons with a barrel of nearly three meters cannons, which can shoot a distance of 4,500 meters. Let's put it this way, the farthest naval gun fired in this era is on this ship.

The issue of this sail caused a lot of disputes. Objectively speaking, when sailing near the sea, the hard sail was obviously more efficient. However, the warships built by Chen Xie were going to compete for territory from the ocean, so of course they could not accept this as an advanced view in terms of consciousness. From this aspect, it is not difficult to see the reality of the Chinese.

Franaranda was excited as she watched the warship as she tried sailing on the sea, and her whole body was trembling slightly. Chen Xie looked very calm, but in fact he was not much better. However, his "pretense" had become an instinct.

"Longkou Shipyard can already build 500-foot ships. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, 10 ships can be launched every year. Qishan Shipyard's next plan is to board a larger ship with a standard displacement of 1,800 tons. At the same time, board five large ships of 1,000 tons. According to your plan, our shipbuilding industry is developing rapidly." While reporting on work, Franaranda looked at the crazy celebration scenes on the dock. Only when basically integrating into this country can the Ming Dynasty set off firecrackers and dance lions and dragon lanterns. Oh, there is also the scene of sacrifice to the Dragon King, which is a waste, and such a fat pig head is thrown into the sea.

"How is the construction of the shipyard in Jiaozhou Bay?" Chen Xie's eyes were undoubtedly farther away. Franaranda thought about the information in his mind for a moment before answering: "At the latest August next year, the construction of large warships can be officially started. There is a question that we must remind the master that our firewood mainly comes from Liaodong and North Korea."

Chen Xie looked at the other end of Dahai, tightened his collar, and said lightly: "Don't worry, it won't delay your affairs."

The battleship was uttered with flags, "It's in good condition, everything goes well." Chen Xie smiled and raised his telescope. He saw that guy Xi Laojing was standing in the command position with a slut, and said to Su Haochen beside him: "Remember to remind this guy that there is only three months for him to familiarize himself with this boat. When spring is in full swing, we will go to North Korea."

Su Haochen maintained his usual elegance, raised his chest slightly, and saluted: "I understand. But I think that the navy's affairs should be done by the experts. The master just tells him what to do and what level to do."

Chen Xie smiled and became more and more satisfied with the ability of the chief of staff. Standing at Chen Xie's position, he had no chance to do some specific things. In the Dengzhou Camp, the staff team led by Su Haochen is the main force of specific things.

"How is the situation of the Second Battalion of Yi characters?" Chen Xie mentioned this, and Su Haochen's expression immediately became serious and said seriously: "If you don't consider the logistics issues, you should be able to go to the battlefield at any time. The four-wheeled carriage cannot adapt to the roads in Henan, and there are about fifty gaps in the two ** carriages. The latest instructions from the Ministry of War will ask our army to go to Nanyang Prefecture, and the people of the Ministry of War will be pigs. The orders will be different every time. Before winter, we will go to Lin County, and then let us go to Luoyang, and then let us go to Ruzhou Prefecture."

"We are worried about whether the people from the Ministry of War are not the ones who don't belong to the pig. Tell Chang Shiren that his mission is to lead this army well and not be a gun envoy. Nanyang Prefecture is just Nanyang Prefecture. I guess they rushed to Nanyang Prefecture and the bandits passed through the Han River."

"The master is wise. After repeated observations, he found that the thief has a characteristic, which is that he is very mobile. If he can fight, he will fight, and if he can't fight, he will run away. When dealing with the thief, he will still focus on blocking and pursue the elite cavalry. If he is close and separated, he will do it. If he has no chance, he will follow him neither far nor near."

Chen Xie nodded and said nothing. He agreed with his point of view. The problem was that the second battalion of Yi character was all infantry and could only follow the thieves from afar. This is the key. Everyone knows it well, just don’t make it clear.

It was already the end of November. Chen Xie, who returned to Dengzhou, met the dusty Li Heng in Zhangjiazhuang.

As a shareholder and an important collaborator of the money shop, Li Heng received high treatment and could directly wait for Chen Xie in Zhangjiazhuang.

Zhangjiazhuang, which is backed by Longshan, looks more and more like a fortress. There are no less than twenty turrets three feet high, and there are three steps and five steps along the way to protect this land and land. Li Heng is very clear that this is Chen Xie's nest, and every piece of land under his feet belongs to Chen Xie himself. Now there are some landlords in Dengzhou Prefecture, but their land is directly rented to the agricultural cooperative in Zhangjiazhuang. It is really impossible not to do this, and the tenants cannot be found to farm. The rent that used to collect 60% or even 70% of the rent had long been extinct. The land rent in Dengzhou Prefecture was very unified, 35% or 50%. After paying the land tax, nearly 40% of the income was left.

Let me put it this way, local young people are no longer farming. The economic model near Zhangjiazhuang is very diverse, with many small factories that can work. Farmers who do not work are more willing to do breeding, or they just grow greenhouse vegetables. There are very few farmers who really grow grain, and that thing makes money too slowly.

Li Heng witnessed the changes in the land and water in this area over the years, and compared with other places he saw, he felt very moved. While waiting, he was thinking about how to deepen cooperation with Chen Xie. The Dafa Money Bank's semicolon in Fuzhou and Hangzhou, Li Heng made quite a lot of concessions. He heard that the prefectures and states under Nanzhili had further opened semicolons. He was braver and faster when he didn't have much money. He felt that he was behind, and Li Heng was a little uneasy.

Chen Xie, who had changed into casual clothes, appeared in the living room and bowed from afar and said, "Old Li, I'm negligent! There are too many things to do, so I can't be busy. If you didn't come, I would have to go to Huang County and I would have to send troops to Henan in the middle of next month."

Li Heng stood up and bowed his hand to return the gift, and smiled and said, "I'm an old friend for many years, so it's boring to be polite. This time I came here, I brought a message. If it weren't for this news, I would have come two months earlier."

Chen Xie made a gesture of invitation and signaled him to continue. Li Heng continued: "Starting in July, the Dutch people in Rezhelan kept making trouble on the coast. After leaving the Franji people's relationship, they realized that their purpose was to force the Ming Dynasty to accept their conditions. In mid-July, the Dutch attacked Xiamen and Zheng Zhilong suffered a great loss. At the end of July, Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu agreed to the Dutch's conditions, helped the evil and declared war with the Ming Dynasty. The Dutch made six requests, and it was inevitable that the war would start after being rejected. Both sides went back and forth, and the battle was intermittent until October 22, when the Dutch were defeated at sea, lost three large ships, and fled back to the Dayuan Island."

"I'm afraid I can't be treated as the governor of Fujian." Chen Xie smiled and added.

Li Heng nodded: "He cut off people's wealth and killed his parents. He insisted on putting the sea ban on reality. It would be good if he didn't kill someone."

Chen Xie said: "Haha, I don't know who will take this wealth in the future."

"Liu Xiang, Li Guozhu, do you want to bring a letter?"

"Forget it, the forced melon is not sweet, love cannot come." r1152
