The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 297 Vice General Yongping
As for whether he offended the first assistant, Wen Tiren ignored it.

Zhou Yanru, the former political ally, has now passed the honeymoon period of cooperation, and when enemies become enemies overnight, whoever can grasp the emperor's heart will be able to walk steadily and go further in the cabinet.

Wen Tiren came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that General Huang Shen should be rewarded for his contribution to suppressing the rebellion in Pidao. The minister suggested that it is most appropriate to promote Huang Shen as the deputy general of Yongping. The Yongping reinforcement camp can be converted into a surprise camp. The number of troops can be kept constant Change, there will be room for the rank improvement of the generals of the 'Red Banner Army'."

The "Red Banner Army" has always faced a mismatch between the achievements and ranks of the generals. The reason is of course that Huang Han gave up his personal reward for the "Great Victory in Qingcheng".

The imperial court rewards the generals of the "Red Banner Army" so that no one can be ranked higher than the chief general.Wen Tiren came out of the class to play the right, and the emperor was very satisfied with what he said.

But when the second assistant spoke, there was no minister to support him. It was obvious that this was another lonely minister. The emperor looked coldly at the minister who was opposed by Ban, and two words came to his mind - forming a party for private interests, and party unity against differences.

Chongzhen is an emperor with personality. Although only two ministers agreed to promote Huang Han, he ignored the objections of the ministers and let Wen Tiren vote to be approved by the Supervisor of Rites and issued an order to promote Huang Han as the second-rank vice general decree.

This time, it was obvious that Cifu Wen Tiren catered to the emperor in the open and secret fighting in the court, and Zhou Yanru felt a little disappointed.

Because his in-law Chen Yutai was the number one scholar in high school this year, he was impeached by the censor for using power for personal gain. Although there is no evidence, this matter has already become a problem in the emperor's mind.

Zhou Yanru regretted it a little. At the moment when the Ming Dynasty needs a strong army due to internal and external troubles, why didn't he take the initiative to offer convenience to the "Red Banner Army" who could fight?
He has been trying his best to recommend Sun Yuanhua, and Sun Yuanhua's ability to climb to the high position of governor of Denglai is not unrelated to Zhou Yanru's support.

Sun Yuanhua, who is also a member of the Donglin Party, has a close relationship with Zhou Yanru. During this period of time, his letters mentioned his contacts with Huang Han many times.Zhou Yanru thought about making good use of this relationship and trying to draw Jane's "Red Banner Army" in the heart of the emperor into his camp.

At the end of July, the emperor's imperial decree was issued to Fu Ningwei, and the person who came to deliver the decree was actually an old friend Fang Zhenghua, and the escort was a general banner officer led by Qianhu Lou Yun of Jinyiwei, who had just been promoted twice in a row The first level became Zhang Chao who wiped hundreds of households.

It's just passing the decree, there is no need for a eunuch of Fang Zhenghua's level, and the escort Jin Yiwei does not need to try a general like Qianhu. This is entirely because the emperor is very concerned about how the "Red Banner Army" troops have been training in the past few months?

Therefore, Fang Zhenghua, who has a good relationship with Huang Han, was sent to take a good look. When Li Ruolian sent Jin Yiwei to escort him, Lou Yun asked for this trip and was approved.

During this period of time, Huang Han got promoted, got rich, married his wife, and lived a good life. Coupled with the fact that the combat effectiveness of the "Red Banner Army" is booming, the water battalion has begun to take shape, and the training of the engineer battalion is also going well. He is no longer satisfied with the status quo, thinking of pulling The people and horses of Shangdongjiang Town cooperated to cross the sea to attack Nansiwei.

Qin Yuyi has already learned the exact situation of Dalinghe City from Ma Xianglin who personally participated in the construction. Huang Han knows that Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Zhang Cunren and others are not ordinary people. It is not easy for the army to seize the city.

It is estimated that the Jin army will face the problem of insufficient troops as soon as they send troops. They need a lot of troops to encircle Dalinghe City, and they must always be on guard against Zu Dashou and He Kegang finding that the troops are weak and going out of the city to sneak attack.

There must be no shortage of manpower left on hand, because the Ming army sent reinforcements on a large scale, and the manpower responsible for the reinforcements was insufficient. If they were beaten by the Ming army's reinforcements, it might lead to a rout. From then on, the situation in Liaodong would be unstoppable. .

Huang Han reckoned that once the slave chiefs were launched, they would definitely go all out. As long as they picked the right time to raid the Southern Four Guards, they would probably become separate fights.

Nu Chief Hong is a strong-willed person. He is determined to defeat the reinforcements of Ming Dynasty and take Dalinghe City. He will not be disturbed easily. It may shake his deployment on the front line of Daling River City.

Therefore, Huang Han asserted that the worst outcome of this battle would be that Daming suffered heavy losses, all reinforcements were destroyed, and Daling River City fell. I wonder if Zu Dashou surrendered with more than [-] troops?

The post-Golden army should not win easily, and the loss of men and horses should be far greater than the history. It cannot be made up for by taking in the surrendered army of the Ming Dynasty.

It may be difficult for the "Red Banner Army" to completely capture the Southern Four Guards, but they should win Fuzhou and Jinzhou nine out of ten, and they will not face too many enemies.

Therefore, the loss of troops should not be too much, but the capture of the city that has been run by Jiannu for more than ten years should be considerable, and the rescued Han people will not be too small. The wheat planted by the Jin army in the Nansiwei The "Red Banner Army" will definitely accept it.

When a few old friends came, it was impossible to just do business. Huang Han left them to stay in Funingwei for a few days. Fang Zhenghua came with a mission. The situation, because the emperor is full of expectations for this team.

Huang Han didn't hide anything at all, he generously led everyone to visit the well-organized Acropolis of Funing, and the next day he took everyone to the completed mansion in "Tiger Cave" city as guests.

More than [-] Han people worked in the factories, workshops, and coal mines directly invested by Huang Han, and more than half of them settled in the "Tiger Cave" city.

Among them, several thousand are skilled workers with a monthly income of more than one or five taels of silver, and there are hundreds of master craftsmen with a monthly salary of more than three taels of silver. Cities with purchasing power are naturally attractive.

The prosperity of the "Tiger's Cave" city is showing that the row upon row of second- or third-floor shops facing the street have already been rented or purchased by merchants, and they are now open for business.

There are no less than [-] to [-] residents in the city, and even more ordinary people live in the outskirts of the city. These ordinary people include Liao people who migrated from Denglai and Dongjiang towns.

Since the labor force needed here is endless, every adult immigrant will get a job, even without any skills, the monthly money obtained by selling physical strength is enough to make three or two families no longer hungry.

Of course, Huang Han would not show anyone around the iron and steel factory or the hot weapon factory, but he took Fang Zhenghua, Lou Yun, Zhang Chao, etc. to visit the new grain depot.

At this time, the autumn harvest is approaching, and most of the barrel granaries are empty. If the stock is full, the "Tiger Cave" city grain depot alone can store 80 shi of grain.
