Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 560 The Problem of How to Settle Eight Banners Dingkou

At the end of the five-day procurement period for the soldiers of the Qin Army, and when they were busy with loading vehicles with the Four Seas Commercial Bank, the second wave of purchasing troops made their grand debut. Go crazy.

Many shops that sold out of stock also struggled in the absence of sufficient supply.

The owners and shopkeepers of these shops took their clerks either to drive the two-wheeled carriages of their own shops, or to rent four-wheeled wagons from the carriage dealers, or to push the trolleys together. All flocked to the canal terminal in Tongzhou.

As long as a cargo ship from the south arrives, hundreds of people will hula and run to the shore, screaming hoarsely to the merchants escorted by the ship, citing the name of their shop and the purchase price of the goods on the ship.

All of a sudden, the Tongzhou Wharf was overcrowded, and the wharf was blocked by animals and man-made vehicles of various sizes. There were noisy and shouting crowds everywhere. Because of the competition for interests, there were endless incidents of quarrels and hands-on incidents between shops for scrambling for goods. The orderly officers and soldiers had to beat with guns and wooden sticks, so that there would be no major chaos on the scene.

The second batch of returning home was the Sichuan Army, including the Baigan soldiers.

Due to a hand-to-hand fight with six of the Eight Banners outside the city of Ningyuan, the white-armed soldiers suffered serious battle damage. More than 3000 of the [-] white-armed soldiers were killed in battle, and more than [-] people were injured. The overall battle loss rate exceeded [-]%. They defended the invincible wisdom of the white pole with their brave and fearless actions.

The [-] Sichuan Army as the second-line troops were not deployed on the front line, so the overall casualties were not large, but the military exploits were also insignificant. After receiving the reward silver, the seizure is almost equal to nothing.

Compared with the soldiers of the Qin army who purchased a large amount of daily necessities such as rice, noodles, oil, paper, and salt to fill their stomachs, the more than 1 Sichuan troops spent most of their money on meat, rouge, gouache, cloth, shoes, hats, silk and other commodities.

Unlike Qin, which has suffered years of drought, Sichuan and Shu have not been greatly affected by the extreme weather that has lasted for ten years due to their unique natural conditions and climate. Although the rainfall has decreased compared with normal years, it has not There is no extreme situation where no rain falls for a year.

Under the adjustment of Dujiangyan, the greatest water conservancy project in Chinese history, most of the fields in the vast and fertile Chengdu Plain have been effectively irrigated, and the rice output in the fields is enough to supply most of the Shu people who live here. The desire for food is not strong, and Shi Wuyou's eyes are on consumer goods, which also makes the shops that have made little profit in the previous rush-buying wave feel proud.

Many of the generals and soldiers of the Sichuan Army are relatives, and they also appear in this family mode when shopping. They often buy a lot of the same type of goods, and after paying the money, the shop hires a car to load the goods and follow them back. camp, and the same when it was time to depart.

Under such an organized situation, a lot of time has been saved in both purchasing and loading later, so more than 1 Sichuan troops have already left one after another based on their hometown before the stipulated five-day time. By the sixth day, all the Sichuan troops had left Beijing.

They will go west along the same route as the Qin army, then turn south from Hanzhong and enter Sichuan. return.

Because after arriving at Hanzhong Mansion, no matter whether it is a four-wheeled or two-wheeled carriage, there is no way to go. All materials must be carried by manpower and animal power. Everyone, including the disabled, can only walk along the rugged and narrow road. road ahead.

Fortunately, Zhu Youjian also took this special situation into consideration. He specially ordered a large number of draft horses to be recruited, and made a number of stretchers and crutches for those who did not want to stay in the Beijing Normal University for the rest of their lives, but would rather travel through mountains and rivers. Used by disabled soldiers in their hometown.

The ashes of the fallen soldiers were also brought back by their relatives and friends.

After returning home, the Sichuan army will be stationed in various prefectures in Sichuan, and will no longer be recruited if there is no major battle.

Baiganbing and Sichuan Army have already paid too much for Daming, and it is time to enjoy a stable life.

Qin Liangyu originally wanted to disarm and return to the farmland and return home for the elderly, but Zhu Youjian resolutely rejected it.

For this old hero who ruined his family and found it difficult to repay the country's kindness in the original history, enjoying the glory in the capital for the rest of his life is the best ending.

A special group of more than 2 people entered Shu with the Sichuan army: captured Eight Banners women, children, old and weak.

This is also a decision made by Zhu Youjian after careful consideration.

The special topography of Sichuan made it an excellent place to house these captured persons.

These old and weak women and children will be placed in the villages of various prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Chengdu and Chongqing. Here they will learn the lifestyle of ordinary people such as farming and textiles, and will intermarry with the locals at the request of the government. After several generations of changes, they will be completely integrated into the big family of the Chinese nation.

This time, only the first batch of captives were resettled in Sichuan and Sichuan, and a large number of people will be sent to Sichuan, Huguang, Gyeonggi and other places in the future.

In this war that destroyed Hou Jin, except for about 150 people who fled to the extreme north with the Hauge and Dorgon brothers, most of the Manchurian Eight Banners Dingkou survived the war and became prisoners. Around [-] million.

Dingkou captured by the Mongolian Eight Banners will be moved to the area outside Zhangjiakou Fort, where they will be engaged in animal husbandry production under strict supervision in exchange for necessary living materials.

Those who need to relocate to the inland are more than one million Manchu Banners.

In order to completely ensure the safety of the Northeast of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian decided to take all the compatriots from the Eight Banners as the objects of resettlement in other places, so that they can live in the warmer and more humid southwest region, without having to suffer from the severe cold all year round.

In order to better integrate the nation, and to allow the compatriots in the Eight Banners to live a happier life, Zhu Youjian was also worried.

This migration process will take several years and consume a lot of money, food and materials, but it is a major event that must be done. The important task of this large-scale migration project of a million people will be directed by Hou Xun, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and a cabinet minister. The Ministry made overall planning and dispatch, Jin Yiwei was responsible for guardianship, and the government along the way cooperated to complete it.

Zhu Youjian once asked the Ministry of War to make statistics on the affairs of disabled soldiers staying in Beijing for support, but the response they received was extremely dull.

In this era when one has to return to one's homeland after death, unless helpless, most people's thoughts are to love their families. Most of the disabled soldiers chose to return to their hometowns for resettlement, and only a very small number of disabled soldiers who had no relatives at home chose to stay. After that, they were sent to various nursing homes, and special personnel were responsible for taking care of their daily life in the future.

According to the rules formulated by Zhu Youjian, the treatment given to the disabled soldiers is enough for them to spend the rest of their lives in peace. Even if they marry wives and have children, it is not difficult to support a family. Since the soldiers have their own ideas, Zhu Youjian will go smoothly fulfilled their wishes.

After the Sichuan army left Beijing, it was the turn of the former Xuanda, Gansu Town, Shaanxi Town, Yansui Town, Ningxia Town and other abolished frontier troops to appear on the stage.

Regarding the dismissal, the frontier soldiers did not have much resistance and psychology. After all, when they joined the army, it was either because of hereditary, or because they wanted to make a living in the army. Few of them were rushing to make contributions and seal their wives. Yinzi just joined the army.

Now that the world is in peace, after receiving a huge sum of money to settle down, go home and marry a mother-in-law, give birth to a few children, and open dozens of acres of wasteland. The family has food and drink. This is something that I never dreamed of before. A good day, but now it is just around the corner. If there is such a good thing, why do you still want to be a soldier?What if another Zhengzhan dies on the battlefield?

After the retired frontier army purchased and returned, the rest were the Tianxiong Army and the soldiers in the Gyeonggi area. Because they were the closest, they were put at the end.

After all the troops participating in the war except the troops that did not participate in the war left the capital, the capital city, which had been noisy for more than a month, finally returned to the normal order of life in the past.

In this large-scale, long-term purchase tide that consumes countless money, thousands of merchants have obtained huge profits from it, except for Sihai Commercial Bank. Almost all merchants have made a lot of money. It is no exaggeration to say that , The profit earned in this month is equal to or even more than their usual six months, which can be called unprecedented.

The procurement feast that took place in the 11th year of Chongzhen is still a topic of discussion among many merchants many years later.

This half-year holiday starts from September, and the soldiers will not return to the capital until the end of spring plowing in various places in February of the 12th year of Chongzhen.

Just as the soldiers were making big purchases, the first meeting after the establishment of the new cabinet kicked off in the Zhaoren Hall of the Qianqing Palace.

　Thanks to 13823136678, Youaitian, and Yun Qi Xi Yi Fei Yang for their rewards.
