The soldiers in the patrol camp were extremely envious of the surrendered Nanjing Forbidden Army. Not only did they have porridge to drink, but they also had meat to eat. When it was their turn, let alone meat, they knelt down and carried a few sticks to greet them. They knelt straight all morning, and their backs ached. It feels like the legs are no longer their own. Even if you let them run at this time, they don't have the strength to run.

"Commander! The officers and soldiers of the patrol camp are all descendants of Yangzhou after all. Let me ask you a favor...!" Shi Kefa followed Li Xiao, one old and one young. But Shi Kefa followed Li Xiao step by step!

"Patrol camp, returning soldiers. Listen to what they usually do? Corruption, taking bribes, taking black money to make a profit, setting up stalls on the street to collect protection fees. What's more, they use sap traps to trick women into abducting their children. That's it. Is this kind of soldier just a disciple soldier?

After all, your Shi Kefa soldiers are still under military discipline, and they have nothing to do with these things. But if you ask, how many of these bastards are unjustly accused?

It may be unjust to pull them out and shoot them all, but if you kill every other one, there will definitely be fish that slipped through the net. Let them kneel, which is an explanation to the people of Yangzhou." After Li Xiao finished speaking, he glanced at Shi Kefa.

Shi Kefa's face turned green and red. It's not like he didn't know these things. But the army is like this now. The Nanjing Forbidden Army and the Liao soldiers are both good. The military discipline of the remaining guards has been extremely corrupted. Military pay is pretty good.

Shi Kefa also knew what Li Xiao said. He wanted to beg for mercy from these people, but now he was speechless. Shi Kefa swore that he would never be such a good person again.

"Your soldiers will be brought back to Shandong for reorganization. In the future, these guard soldiers will be abolished. They will be replaced by standing soldiers, who are recruited once every December. They train for one year and are on duty for two years. They are mainly responsible for maintaining social order. , to fight against mountain bandits and local bullies. In order to avoid suspicion from fellow villagers, soldiers need to serve five hundred miles away from their hometown.

After serving for three years, the imperial court will pay a unified salary and continue to work in the countryside. Those who are literate will be appointed as grassroots officials after returning to their hometown. As for the officers, they must be selected from military academy graduates. These are the future policies of the imperial court. , let me tell you in advance.”

"No! This policy of the imperial court is very good, much better than the current health system." Shi Kefa said, but his heart felt cold.

The soldiers only served for three years, and they had to serve five hundred miles away from their hometown. The military camp was completely transformed into an iron-clad camp, and the soldiers were replaced frequently. Officers were also selected from military school graduates. The military wanted to form a With private power, that would be too difficult.

"You did a great job in Yangzhou and worked hard. Now go back to the capital. Sun Laoyou has an important job for you. Let me tell you the truth. The imperial court is going to establish the Ministry of Railways and make you the minister. This The Ministry of Railways does not belong to the Six Ministries, it is an independent department completely independent of the Six Ministries. You, the minister, are the same as the Six Ministries."

"Ministry of Railways... Nuo!" Although I don't know what the Ministry of Railways is, but it is on the same level as the six ministers, which means that at least my level has not changed since I arrived in the capital. Being on the same level as the six ministers, this official must have great power.

"Mr. Sun will tell you about the specific errand. Your Mr. Dewei is currently rushing to Jinling with the First Division. After Jiangnan is settled, I will give him a good errand."

"Thank you, Commander!" Shi Kefa knew that he would never touch military power again in the future. Looking at his soldiers sitting cross-legged outside Yangzhou City watching the excitement, Shi Kefa felt sad. He would never think about making contributions on the battlefield in this life.

"Go back to the capital today. Don't worry about your soldiers. For your sake, I won't make it too difficult for them. Miss Lvzhu will accompany you back. Just give her any instructions along the way."

"Thank you, Marshal!" This is not a waiter, this is a guard.

Shi Kefa knows very well who Luzhu is, Li Yongfang's daughter. Seeing that old Chen Fu is getting old, Li Yongfang will definitely be in charge of this imperial secret disk in the future. Now old Chen Fu stays in the capital all day without moving. In fact,

He has given the power to Li Yongfang and is living a small life in the capital.

When people get old, they hate running around. But Li Yongfang was in his prime, riding around in a carriage all day long. Many times, Li Xiao didn't know where he was.

After watching Shi Kefa leave, Li Xiao turned around. As long as Shi Kefa builds the railway in peace and quiet, he will still be given the wealth and honor he deserves. Not to mention other places, it is the Yangzhou siege. If he did this, Shao Xiao

Many people died.

In a corner of Yangzhou City, a mountain of firewood has been piled up. The corpses carried out by the people from the city were stacked several layers on the mountain of firewood. A torch was thrown in, and the mountain of firewood filled with kerosene began to burn and evaporate.

Black smoke rose, and soon the smell of barbecue wafted away.

The crows waiting aside whined and left. Since they had this smell, this meal had nothing to do with them.

The Third Division is responsible for defending Yangzhou City and takes a rest. The Second Division follows me to Jinling!

As early as half a month ago, Ao Ye's first division had begun to move south. The news came yesterday that Jiangyin City had been captured, and Li Xiu's warships were sailing upstream along the Yangtze River. Calculating, they will cross the river in a day or two.

Pass.

Several cabinet elders in Jinling have been beaten into a pot of porridge, and now they have reached the point where their lives are in ruins. Wen Tiren, Ma Shiying, and Ruan Dacheng have defeated the last remaining strength of the Donglin Party at the gate of Jinling City. When the cannon fires, thousands of taels of gold will be used, and the gold will be lost year after year.

The plutocrats who caused the war in Jiangnan are now exhausted. It is time to end their war. After all, we are all descendants of China, and it is good to save a few people.

"Mr. Sun will send officials over, and you have to take care of local affairs during this period." Since he was about to leave, Li Xiao still warned Cao Wenzhao uneasily.

This guy is a warrior, full of war thoughts. He is best at beheading people to gain military merit. If you ask him to develop the local economy, you are simply forcing Li Kui to embroider.

But there is nothing we can do now. We can't get Zodiac Zhou out of the cage to maintain his place.

"Commander! I'm just a rough guy. I'm doing this shit about managing local civil affairs...!"

"Actually, it's easy to manage a place. Just catch a few criminals. As long as there is evidence, no matter what the crime, you will have their heads chopped off. Remember, you must let the people in the city watch their heads being chopped off by a person."

Cut it off individually. It is best to find a gangster leader with some reputation in the local area, or someone with some prestige.

To put it bluntly, it just makes the people afraid. The people's hearts are trembling, and even those rogue gangsters can only behave with their tail between their legs. When the fear in their hearts is over, the people sent by Mr. Sun have already arrived. You can put this stall

Just leave it to them and send a group of garrison troops from Liaodonghui to take over Yangzhou City.

You must have rested by then and found some boats to cross the river. The south of the Yangtze River is such a big place, we have to conquer it one city at a time."

"It's easy to handle! Murdering is our job. If anyone commits a fucking crime, I'll kill his bastard." Cao Wenzhao slapped his chest loudly.

Li Xiao nodded and told Cao Wenzhao that he would be a disaster to the local people everywhere for a long time. He relied on killing people to establish his authority and persisted for a month or two. There was no big problem. The military discipline of the Liao army has always been good. Such a big military operation last night was shocking.

There was no molestation of women or robbery of people's property. Li Xiao was quite confident about the military discipline of the Liao army.

"Commander, why don't you let the Second Division stay? Commander Yuan is knowledgeable and he knows how to manage the city." Cao Wenzhao was a little unwilling and started to have Yuan Chonghuan's idea. It was so fun to use guns and cannons. Sitting in the lobby all day long.

It means a hairy person.

"Guard your Yangzhou and don't try to take advantage of Yuan Chonghuan. If Jinling is conquered, who will do it? Do you expect Master Ao?"

"Uh...!" Cao Wenzhao was speechless at this moment. Jinling was much more important than Yangzhou.

"Damn it, when will this day and night end?" The sun in the sky seems to be spitting fire, and it will always be so hot during the day. Wu Sangui, who was born and raised in the north, now has bumps all over his face.

, it was painful, itchy, and yellow water emitted from scratches. Several places had begun to fester. The pain and torture made Wu Sangui's temper even more irritable.

"Alang! Don't scratch it with your hands. If you scratch it, it will fester." Liu Rushi carefully wiped Wu Sangui with salt water, but the salt water didn't seem to work. On the contrary, the more he rubbed it, the more red, swollen, dry and cracked his skin became.

Wu Sangui is still doing well. He and Liu Rushi live in a ventilated cabin on the upper floor. Those coolies crowded in the lower floor have little red spots wherever they have folds on their bodies. The pain and itching can drive people crazy. There are so many people.

My crotch is starting to rot. I seriously estimate that I won’t even be able to be a man in the future!

Those with serious ulcers will be thrown directly into the sea. Before even hearing two cries for help, ferocious sharks will appear on the sea. Then you can only see large areas of blood, and sometimes there are too many sharks. You can see

Until people are torn to pieces by these beasts and devoured!

There may be a lot of people throwing them, but now no matter day or night, there are always sharks following Wu Sangui's fleet.

"Kui Yi, you bastard. Tell me how much time I have, I'm going to be so hot that I'm going to die from the heat." Wu Sangui was shirtless, wearing only big pants, and there were red pustules all over his back.

Little white Jianjian'er looks very scary.

If the sun hadn't hit his crotch and it would have hurt more, Wu Sangui would have been willing to get naked.

"Wu, it's a good thing it's warmer now. The heavy rain in the South China Sea is very scary. If there is a wind on the sea, maybe all our ships will be capsized and none of us will survive. Believe me, I am an old sailor.

Calculating our voyage, we can reach Java Island in about a week. We have been sailing for four months, except for supplies. Just hold on, be patient, and it will pass."

Kui Yi's current image is also very bad. The hair on his head is basically bald. Because he is thin, his eyes and mouth appear to be very big. In the hot weather, his skinny ribs keep rising and falling. It looks like he has suffered a lot.

Famine's red toad.

However, there was no ulcer on Kui Yi's body. He was an old sailor who knew how to avoid suffering.

"Java Island! I will die in seven days. Are you going to throw me into the sea and feed it to the sharks?" The irritable Wu Sangui was like a lion trapped on the boat.

"It will be fine, it will be fine. When we get to Java Island, there is a kind of leaf on it. Just smash that leaf and paste it on your body. Those nasty pustules will heal on their own, and I guarantee that your skin will only be darker."

, everything else is the same as before. If I lie, God will send me to hell." Kui Yi swore.

"Okay! If you don't have such a thing when you get to Java, I will kill you and boil you in oil to treat your injuries." I don't know when this sentence started circulating on the ship. People who are tortured by sea diseases can just apply it on their bodies.

The corpse oil of the dead can slowly heal.

I don’t know who spread the news first, but as far as Wu Sangui knows, someone is already ready to target those coolies!

"Okay, if you can't find the kind of leaves that can heal your body when you get to Java Island, I'll let you do whatever you want!" Kui Yi looked at the slightly young face in front of him, and infinite sadness surged from the bottom of his heart.

When he set out from the port of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, he took hundreds of warships with him. Thirty thousand soldiers of the expeditionary force followed him across the ocean to this distant and ancient country. Damn the Arabs, how could they describe this place?

There is gold everywhere, and as long as you are willing to grab it, you can get countless wealth.

With the dream of getting rich, Kui Yi came to the Far East. Then he was attacked head-on by Li Xiao in Macau, and the small Macau swallowed up more than half of his troops. Then he went north to join forces with Hou Jin.

In the past few years, Kui Yihai has not been in the sea much, and it has all been wandering around in the land of the Ming Dynasty.

Now at this young age, I still have to bear the anger of this young boy. There is nothing I can do about it. After years of war, I still have to adapt to the climate. The Dutch soldiers who followed Kuiyi to Liaodong were only a few thousand people.

These thousands of people are considered the most elite troops in the Netherlands and are also the main consumer group in the local vegetable market.

But after following Huang Taiji for a long time, his subordinates were infected with the plague and died one after another. When they fled to Jiangxi, there were still more than 200 people left. They were imprisoned in Jinling for a long time, and now there are only a dozen or so. If possible.

To contend with Wu Sangui, he would have killed Wu Sangui long ago and made himself king.

There is no way, my strength is not as good as others. Now I can only rely on others!

"Oh! By the way! General Xiao Wu, there are a large number of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty on Java Island. They are all good businessmen from all over Fujian. We can get some mercy by collecting taxes."

"Really? Then there are Ming immigrants on Java Island?" I heard Kuiyi say before that there are spices, huge copper mines, and precious wood on the Java Islands. I didn't expect that there are so many Ming Dynasty immigrants.
Chapter completed!
