The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 375 Green Niwa

Matters after the war naturally need to be decided, and the decision of who will guard Jinzhou is in the hands of the emperor.

Fang and Li wrote a secret report on the advantages and disadvantages respectively, and they all said that only the "Red Banner Army" can keep Jinzhou and Lushunkou.

During this period of time, Huang Han kept inspecting the southern foot of Dahei Mountain, and even went to see the location of the later Dalian Military Port. At this time, it was called Qingniwakou, a wetland, quite fertile.

From the southern foot of Dahei Mountain to Lushunkou, there are thousands of hundreds of square kilometers, and the area of ​​cultivated land can reach [-] to [-] percent. Due to the influence of the marine climate, the climate here is pleasant.

The southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula has a warm temperate monsoon climate. There is a monsoon in spring, no heat in summer, and more sunny days in autumn. Under the influence of the harsh weather of the Little Ice River, the climate conditions are much better than those in the interior of Liaodong. In winter, there are [-] fewer days of severe cold.

There are abundant fresh water resources here, and there are many rivers. Reservoirs can be built for small watershed management. At present, there are no less than 30 mu of fertile land that has been abandoned because no one cultivates it.

The output of 30 mu of land is enough to feed 8 to [-] people, and this is still under the condition that wheat is the main crop.

If half of the potatoes and sweet potatoes are planted to feed 10,000+ people, it should be no problem. After all, there will be the sea here to provide protein, and the marine fishing industry can be developed.

This typical peninsula has a unique geographical location. Under the circumstances that Huang Han has the ambition to develop a sea power to compete for world hegemony, it is the most ideal to manage this base camp well.

Huanglong didn't care about the territory of Lushunkou. Lushun's lieutenant general Chen Youwei and his elder brother Dusi Chen Youde died in the street fighting of Jinzhou offensive and defensive war in Jiannu's counterattack.

In the Jinzhou offensive and defensive battle, the Lushunkou garrison in the Central Plains was the team with the heaviest casualties, with a death rate as high as [-]%. There are still more than a thousand wounded and sick in the "Red Banner Army".

The original Lushunkou garrison now has only 800 people, and the largest general is a general who has a fourth-rank lottery.

Should Dongjiang Town stay at Lushunkou and compete with the "Red Banner Army" for the territory between Jinzhou, or should it concentrate on restoring the reclamation area of ​​Yizhou and run the Zhenjiang Fort at the mouth of the Yalu River?

Huang Long didn't do multiple-choice questions by himself, he called the generals to hold a consultation meeting under the auspices of Jin Sheng.

Jin Sheng is already a soldier, and will definitely be responsible for the military supplies and rations of Dongjiang Town's troops in the future, and his status is not the same.

He knew that it was impossible for the imperial court to place a governor in southern Liaonan to garrison Jinzhou forever. After the army returned to the army, Jinzhou would face retaliatory counterattacks from Jiannu, and fierce battles were inevitable.

Who will be able to do it then?None other than the "Red Banner Army".

Jin Sheng strongly supported the management of Jinzhou by Huang Han, and also believed that only by doing so can Jinzhou be preserved. He supported the withdrawal of Dongjiang Township from Lushunkou, so as to prevent the two towns from garrisoning in the same defense area and avoiding each other's excuses and being taken advantage of by the enemy.

Huang Long first talked about the capture of Dongjiang Town, Jinzhou, which can be divided into his hands, and all the generals were very satisfied.

Because the "Red Banner Army" only needed half of the horses and livestock, and the rest such as armor, weapons, food, clothes, and quilts were all thrown to Dongjiang Town, and all the precious metals seized were also converted into silver and distributed as head rewards. Deng Dagong belonged to Mao Chenglu's department.

Next, Huang Long publicly stated that he would lead all Dongjiang Town troops to leave Jinzhou and Lvshunkou and return to Phi Island to actively prepare for the war, intending to recapture Yizhou and rebuild the settlement area of ​​Dongjiang Town.

All the generals were sincerely happy, because Yizhou Tun District was the place where Marshal Mao devoted his heart and soul, and it was the place where he planned to operate as the base of Dongjiang Town. That area had much more room for development than the peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides.

Yizhou has a large alluvial plain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yalu River. The land is fertile and easy to cultivate. As long as the defense line of the Yalu River can be defended and Dongjiang Town invests manpower, millions of acres of fertile land can be obtained.

What's more, there are more than [-] mu of fields that have been abandoned before. If you cultivate them in spring, you will get wheat in autumn.

Jin Sheng told the generals that there is no need to worry about the wounded Robe, the medical soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" will accept all the wounded and sick to recuperate in Jinzhou, and those who are seriously injured will be buried at the foot of Dahei Mountain, five miles east of Jinzhou Weicheng Thousands of soldiers who died in Jinzhou in the battle to seize the city were companions.

The cemetery where thousands of martyrs are buried is less than four miles away from Yingchao Pier. There is a temple without monks here—Xiangshui Temple. This place is both a temple and a Taoist temple. , the tablets of thousands of fallen heroes are enshrined in a hall that has undergone simple repairs.

In the spring of next year, Huang Han plans to build a martyr's cemetery and a martyr's hall here to commemorate thousands of soldiers and civilians who died for the country. This heroic hall will be awarded by the emperor and officially recognized.

Yizhou is close to Phi Island, the base camp of Dongjiang Town, and is blocked by the natural danger of the Yalu River. It is actually much easier to build slaves to attack than to defend Jinzhou.

All the generals knew that Huang Han was going to manage Jinzhou and Lushunkou, and they were happy to see the success. Originally, Liao Town in Liaodong had the main force to fight against the Jiannu, and Dongjiang Town in the south of Liaodong attacked and harassed the Jiannu. The hearts of the people are scattered, and it no longer has the effect of restraining the slaves.

It is very different now. After the first battle in Jinzhou, a large number of horses, armor, weapons and food were obtained, and the combat effectiveness of Dongjiang Town is recovering.
The "Red Banner Army" affiliated to Jizhen will start operations based on Jinzhouwei, which will inevitably bring huge pressure to Jiannu. Maybe Jiannu will use all its strength to attack. At this time, Dongjiang Town will have a good opportunity to manage Yizhou. .

The situation in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty will change. The original Liao Town is facing each other on the frontal battlefield, and Dongjiang Town will add another link to the guerrilla behind the enemy.

There is no doubt that with the friendly and brave Huang Han operating in southern Liaoning, Dongjiang Town will feel more secure.

Huang Long and Jin Sheng learned an advanced way of working. When deciding on major events, they let the generals vote by show of hands. In the end, more than [-]% of the generals agreed to give up the two small cities of Lushunkou to the "Red Banner Army".

Lushunkou was originally part of Jinzhouwei, and the combined area of ​​the two cities in the north and the south is not one-third as large as Jinzhouwei. The circumference of each city is only more than one mile.

Because the people and horses in Dongjiang Town have been oppressed and beaten by Jiannu in the past two years, all the fields of Jinzhouwei have been abandoned, and the soldiers and civilians can only spend time and food in the city.

Under the coordination of Governor Shuntian, the governor of Liaonan, why not change the defense to Jizhen?In the future, Dongjiang Town will not need to take responsibility for whether or not this place can be defended.

At the end of October, the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town withdrew from Jinzhou and Lushunkou one after another, and no one was reluctant to part with them. After all, the impression left on them was that the war was raging and there was no food to eat.
