The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 384: A Gun Is The King Of Grass

Facts have proved that the flag guards are not decorations, they have successfully penetrated into the business circle of Shanxi merchants, and penetrated into Bingmasi, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei in the five cities.

Huang Han has now issued an order, requiring the banner guards to start sending people to Shanshan and Shanxi to try to break into the rogues.

The timely information also makes Sifang Express's business do well and grow bigger, and Huang Sifang's profits are more than enough to develop offline funds.

With the experience of encircling bandits and bandits last time, the banner guards have realized the benefits and importance of using spies, so they focus on the layout. According to the information currently available, bandits and bandits of a slightly larger scale in the Gyeonggi area have banners. Wei sneaked in.

Most of the banner guards have martial arts and brains, and lurk in the bandits and bandits' cottages. Because they can get the information and convenience provided by the banner guard organization, many of them do well, and there are many who become the third or fourth masters. .

It is estimated that after a certain period of development, the banner guards may independently control several cottages. If thousands of people are recruited to join Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they will naturally become the big bosses of burglars and thieves.

If Huang Han went to fight bandits, he would just play with thieves and thieves, and ignore the tens of thousands of ordinary people they coerced and used as cannon fodder.

Through internal infiltration to obtain information on the location of the second thief, and then arrange a beheading operation to directly lead tens of thousands of cavalry to attack the old battalion of the second thief.

After Huang Han was appointed, it only took three days to increase the number of troops approved by the court to 9000%, and the number of guards who paid six qian silver and five buckets of miscellaneous grain increased by three thousand households, and now reached nearly eight thousand households. [-] people.

If any court official came to personally check the number of soldiers under Huang Han, the chief military officer, Huang Han could definitely recruit the guards to make up the number, and it would be no problem to keep the full amount or even exceed the amount.

The training of cavalry musketeers is in full swing, and now there are 800 people. The production of flintlock guns in October and November has increased month by month. In November, [-] high-quality flintlock guns were actually produced. Two hundred, Minigun production reached fifty.

Cavalry musketeers have now achieved two or three people sharing a self-generating gun. I believe this situation will change in three months. All musketeers and soldiers will have their own guns.

Hanzi, Zhang Yang, Wang Zhicheng and other generals who originally used throwing weapons for long-distance attack all practiced musket shooting hard without exception. Huang Han had already assigned them twelve Minigun equipment.

The "Red Banner Army" doesn't need to hide now, because there are no external forces in the land of thousands of square kilometers from Lushunkou to Jinzhou.

A complete Baojia system has been formed here, and the files of each family and individual have been established. Merchants entering from other places must be screened, and those who visit relatives and friends must also have certifiers.

The banner guards were in the dark, and the town governor was in the open. More than a hundred suspicious-looking people were arrested in more than two months. After interrogation, more than 20 people were convicted of espionage, and [-] of them were beheaded. None of them The exceptions are well-documented slavery operations.

Twelve people were detained and sent to the cement factory to work as coolies. I explained to them that they would be released after three years of hard work if they didn’t escape. These people were most likely undercover agents of the imperial court, including Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Of course, the detaining spies will be under clever pretexts, and most of them are suspected of being slave spies as an excuse. It is impossible to blatantly state that they already know that you are members of the imperial court, so you were detained by the "Red Banner Army".

Besides, what if the imperial court learned that the spy was detained?Zu Dashou killed He Kegang, the lieutenant who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and held the title of Prince Taibao and Zuodu Dudu, surrendered and became a slave, but he was not held accountable. How could there be any law in the Ming Dynasty in the Chongzhen year?

There is a silly saying that can cover the year of Chongzhen, that if you have a gun, you are the grass head king, and if you have soldiers in your hand, you have the king's law.

Intelligence work pays attention to timeliness. As long as the identified imperial spies are detained for three years, no matter what intelligence they have, it will be useless.

Seventy-odd people who behaved suspiciously and couldn't tell where they came from and couldn't prove their innocence were also detained for three years and released after three years.

The sky is cold, the "Red Banner Army" has not hibernated, and hard training is in progress.

Huang Han spared no expense on food and money, and reasonably matched nutritious meals. Sea fish, poultry eggs, and meat are guaranteed every day. I believe that after this severe winter, some of the malnourished recruits and military servicemen will be well-fed one by one. There will be no shortage of men.

Before the end of the year, Huang Han quietly went back to Tiger Cave City, not because he was afraid of anything, but to do it quietly.

Rather, he thought it was too troublesome to write a memorial to ask for a leave of absence to go home for a few days in the name of visiting relatives. He knew that the memorial would definitely be approved when he went up, so he didn't want to bother him, so he went home directly by himself on a warship.

Liaodong is already covered with ice and snow, and the coastal waters of the Liaohai Sea are severely frozen, but this is not a problem for the hardworking and intelligent Han people.

Craftsmen use processed wood to make buoys that extend along the frozen sea, and all use wood to build movable docks that are fixed outside the ice by anchor chains, so that ships that need to be unloaded can stay four or five miles away from the ice on the coastline work outside.

The road leading to the shore is also on the frozen buoys and wooden boards on the ice, which is safe and sound. Even when the sea ice melts in the warm spring, there will not be too much danger. It is just that the shaking increases. It freezes solidly and steadily in winter.

Huang Han returned home mainly to provide benefits to craftsmen, give condolences to disabled soldiers, and solve life difficulties for martyrs.

People's support is very important. Giving more people respect and giving hope to everyone who follows you is the only way to improve cohesion.

The patriarch, who is a marquis, gave white flour, brown sugar, and canned sea fish to the craftsmen who were once humble in the eyes of the dignitaries and dignitaries. He sat on the warm kang and chatted with the great craftsmen who made contributions.

Such a low-cost and effective people-friendly action, under the leadership of Huang Han, all the generals of the "Red Banner Army" who are not stationed in Jinzhou will participate in the action.

Besides, Huang Han and the generals are not going through the motions, they really want to find problems and solve them.

Huang Han is already the owner of this piece of land, he is not working for anyone, he has the ambition to lead everyone to work together to build a beautiful country.

Whenever Huang Han and his soldiers visit the homes of disabled soldiers, there will be retired soldiers who have shed blood for the country and sing songs of triumph with affection: "When all are united, the mountains can be shaken. But loyalty and righteousness are the only ones to fight bullfights. Lord General Kiss me, better than parents..."

Half of the first soldiers who participated in the war were promoted this year, and at the worst they became corporal leaders. Few of the soldiers did not receive a head reward, and all the combatants received a general reward.

Therefore, without exception, the military families are the first to reach and exceed the food and clothing line and move towards a well-off family among the common people in Huxue City. They are planning to build new brick and tile houses to improve living conditions...
