I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The war came to an end. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, it was generally relatively easy.

The mutiny of the Qing army was a pleasant surprise, allowing them to easily board the city wall.

After the post-war statistics, their losses this time were not large, and more than 800 people were killed and more than 100 were seriously injured, and the loss rate was less than 4%.

Among them, the main ones who died were the soldiers who were responsible for protecting Liu Han's third-class generals.

Those people suffered some losses when facing the cavalry, and suffered heavy casualties.

This also reminded Liu Hansan that he should not be careless when he has the upper hand. Self-protection must be comprehensive.

The dying struggle of the enemy is sometimes terrifying.

The losses of the Wu army were less than a thousand people, and the losses of the Qing army were not particularly large.

Nearly 1,000 of the 2,000 cavalry were killed, and the remaining hundreds were captured, and one or two hundred escaped.

The escaped cavalry was a hidden danger, but Liu Hansan had no way to hunt them down.

In addition to the cavalry, more than 1,500 troops of the Qing army defending the city also died in battle, and almost all the rest surrendered or were captured alive. Along with their coach, Jun Hal, was also captured.

This is a big victory, which can bring good news to Jiujiang.

After the capture of Nanchang, Liu and Han's three soldiers divided into several routes, with 4,000 people going to Ji'an on one way, and 10,000 people going to Fuzhou on the other way. The remaining part stayed in Nanchang, and some went to capture the towns and villages around Nanchang.

To say it was an occupation was actually to declare it and tell the gentry and landlords there, so that they would know that in the future, the Wu army was in charge and the taxes would be handed over to them.

At present, it is still in the stage of imperial power not going to the countryside, that is, the countryside is still in the hands of the local gentry, managed by clan rules, and the government does not have so much energy to manage the countryside.

Only when taxes are collected, the government will intervene in rural affairs. At other times, large and small matters in rural areas are handled by their clan.

Soldiers from all walks of life acted one after another, and wherever they went, they basically looked down at the wind, and the landlords and gentry expressed their willingness to obey.

Compared with being ruled by the Qing Dynasty, it is definitely better to be ruled by Wu Changqing, after all, everyone is Han.

Of course, there are also a few local county officials who are very confused, or because they are not well informed, they do not know that the Qing army has been defeated. Therefore, some county magistrates and magistrates chose to resist Wu Jun's request to take over.

And this kind of resistance, without exception, has become a joke.

Those temporarily organized village braves met with professional soldiers who had undergone rigorous training, and the scene was really appalling.

Hundreds of rural braves attacked the Wu army of more than a dozen people. The Wu army fired a row of guns. Only five or six people died in the hundreds of rural braves, and the others scattered in a hurry.

This is the most realistic portrayal of the rabble, and the casualties they can bear are very limited.

It's a bit like the gang fights in the underworld in later generations. Before the fight, one by one can still be dragged like 2,580,000. Once a few people die in the fight, the others will immediately start slipping away.

In this world, there are very few people who are not afraid of death.

Afterwards, the recalcitrant magistrates and magistrates were shot and the military took over these places.

In addition to these county officials, Wu Jun also encountered sporadic resistance in some parts of the countryside.

Mainly because of communication problems, the gentry had already paid taxes to the Qing army, and they were worried that they would collect taxes after the Wu army came to take over, so they had a conflict with the Wu army.

And the communication and explanation that these big bosses don't understand, it is better to directly suppress it than to let them reason with the gentry and talk about policies.

There are also five or six landlords and villagers who died because of such misunderstandings.

However, in general, Wu Jun's takeover of Nanchang's surroundings was relatively smooth, and there was no major resistance or conflict.

At the same time, Liu Hansan personally brought people to Fengxin County and found Song Yingxing.

Song Yingxing, the prefect of the former Ming court, is of the fifth grade.

However, an official of the fifth rank would not be taken seriously by Liu Hansan today. In the previous era, Liu Hansan, who was not worth Song Yingxing at all, came to visit in person.

However, times are different these days, and the status of those doctors of Zaxue is getting higher and higher. Anyone who has studied Zaxue will be valued in Wu Changqing's regime, and they can get along well.

And Song Yingxing has very high attainments in miscellaneous studies. He is the author of the scientific masterpiece "Heavenly Creation".

Apart from Wu Changqing's scientific works, Song Yingxing's works are considered to be the most comprehensive scientific works of this era. It records dozens of manufacturing techniques and preliminary principles of agriculture, handicrafts, and sulfur, textiles, dyeing, etc.

In later generations, this book was called the scientific encyclopedia of the seventeenth century.

Self-taught scientists like this are very precious, and they have unparalleled talent in science.

Liu Hansan knew that Wu Changqing attached great importance to these doctors of miscellaneous studies, and had inquired about Song Yingxing's whereabouts before.

Therefore, after capturing Nanchang, his first task was to find Song Yingxing, invite him to Nanjing, or tie him to Nanjing.

At this time, Song Yingxing was avoiding the war in his hometown Fengxin. The Longwu court once sent him an invitation to recruit, but he did not agree because he was not very optimistic about the Longwu regime.

More importantly, he heard that Wu Changqing in Nanjing is vigorously promoting the promotion of Zaxue, and he is very yearning.

Only when he works under Wu Changqing can he give full play to his strengths and achieve

own values ​​and aspirations.

He once asked a friend to bring a batch of elementary physics books written by Wu Changqing from Nanjing, and he was fascinated by them.

Song Yingxing originally wanted to go to Nanjing, but now Liu Hansan, a powerful figure with a heavy hand, came to invite him in person, giving him enough face. Song Yingxing naturally had no reason to refuse.

He immediately asked his family to prepare the luggage, and then went to Nanjing under the escort of Wu Jun.

In addition to Song Yingxing, Liu Hansan also sent people to look for famous scholars everywhere.

There are many academies in this place in Jiangxi, the style of writing is very strong, and there are many talents.

And Wu Changqing has always been open to talent. Whether it is a doctor of miscellaneous studies or a traditional literati, Wu Changqing can arrange work for them.

Although the traditional literati did not understand science, their IQ was much higher than that of ordinary people, and their learning ability was very strong.

It is much easier to get them to relearn miscellaneous studies than to teach a young child to become a talent.

Although children are the future, the development of the present is also very important.

These are quick-start talents who can acquire certain new knowledge in a short period of time and then apply it elsewhere. These people can act as a transitional role.
