The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 399 Blockade
The so-called victory with tricks is just a fluke success in a tactical adventure, and sooner or later you will be trapped by using tricks again.
The best and safest way to fight is to flat push, crush, and drop ten times with one force.

Completely different from the Ming army and the Jiannu and Tartar armies, the "Red Banner Army" will complete quantitative military training every day, regardless of winter or summer, except for a few traditional festivals, and there will be a few days of extra training every month. rain or shine.

On the contrary, there is no need to complete the training quota during wartime, which causes many veterans to like the state of wartime and hate the day-to-day training in peacetime.

Therefore, when the "Red Banner Army" went to battle, most of the soldiers were as excited as a festival, because this meant that the food standard would be improved, the training quota would be cancelled, and opportunities for promotion and fortune would come.

After several times of reinforcements, counting the troops under his father's command, the "Red Banner Army" has [-] regular soldiers in Ningyuan.

Among them, there are [-] cavalry, half of which are cavalry and musketeers. The formation of combat effectiveness will not be immediate. Not only does it require training, but also a running-in period between the various arms. The same forms a consensus.

After all, people's selfishness cannot be ignored, and fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of every soldier is a skill that commanders must study and master in time.

The cold weapon cavalry is responsible for intercepting the enemy cavalry and fighting face to face for the hot weapon cavalry to win time to reload self-generating guns. This rule seems simple, but it is not simple to implement.

The cold weapon cavalry must have the passion to live and die together. When the cavalry musketeer is reloaded, he must immediately turn back and kill the enemy cavalry. This is also the key to victory, so cooperation and tacit understanding are very important.

There are two thousand cold-armed infantry stationed in Ningyuan, and there are less than [-] troops who are artillery, engineers, self-generated gunners, gunners, and bird gunners.

The total number of Mini gunners who made the enemy most fearful reached four, with a total of 440 and eight people.Ning Yuan deployed two hundred chiefs, one remained in Jinzhou, and the other went to sea with Huang Han.

There are even more guards in Ningyuan, and now they are over [-]. Originally, there were several guards from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan. Now Huang Han can only recover an old and weak soldier who was eliminated by the former guards.

It is only required to organize two veterans with combat skills to practice every three days. They are not required to go to battle to kill the enemy. They are only required to organize the villagers in the countryside to enter the pier and defend the city when they encounter the invasion of the slaves.

Huang Yizhou Shangzuo Emperor immediately got approval to set up guards before resuming, because the guards hoarded and guarded themselves and returned to the court to pay food. It would be beneficial to the court to convert Ningyuan veterans who were supposed to be paid by the court into guards. Of course, the emperor strongly supported it. .

Therefore, the imperial court generously gave Qiantunwei the establishment. There will be one commander of the third-rank guard, two commanders of the third-rank guard and Tongzhi, four commanders of the fourth rank, two officials of the fifth-rank town, and five Officials with a thousand households at the fifth rank, some with a thousand households at the fifth rank, officials with a hundred households at the sixth rank, hundreds of households at the sixth rank, and so on.

The imperial court also clarified the territory of the former Tunwei, but the content is rather vague, because none of the officials from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War came to measure the land outside the customs. The original villagers here have long lost contact with the government. Common people, how many fertile fields?
The court was ambiguous, presumably because the settlements outside the pass were completely destroyed, and the court was unable to restore them. Since the "Red Banner Army" wanted to set up military settlements outside the pass, then how to set up the "Red Banner Army" in Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan's territory can be decided by itself.

Therefore, the fields that have not been abandoned for a short time in the [-] miles east of Ningyuan from outside the pass can be collected by the restored former guards, and they can also find fertile and beautiful land for reclamation.

The emperor lost the Marquis of Huang's family. He may feel a little guilty. Not only did he generously exempt the former Tunwei from taxes for eight years, but he also issued an order to Shanhaiguan to provide cattle, farm tools and seeds to support the former Tunwei's reclamation.

The relationship between Gaodi and Huang's family is very good, and of course he will do his best if the emperor has the will. Five hundred cattle and five hundred pairs of plow tools were sent out of Shanhaiguan.

It is impossible to give more, because Gao Di's power is not as good as the last time he managed Liaodong when he first arrived. Jinzhou is beyond his reach, and Ning Yuan has a son serving as a soldier.

The imperial court has recently adjusted its personnel. Xu Congzhi, Wude Dao of Shandong, is the censor of the right capital, the governor of Shandong, Xie Lian is the censor of the right deputy capital, and the governor of Denglai.

Also newly appointed a Shan, Yang Sichang, the governor of Yongdu, and Yang Sichang, the governor of Youqian Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yang Sichang, the governor of Yongdu military affairs, is very powerful, and he is the kind of official who is eager for political achievements and eager to climb up.

Old Gao Di looked down on Yang Sichang, a junior, he even looked down on Yang Sichang's old man, Yang He, but the emperor trusted Yang Sichang to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, so he had no choice but to sit in Shanhaiguan for two years and try to take care of a few more seniors family children.

With Gaodi managing Liaodong and sitting in Shanhaiguan, at least Huang Han didn't have to worry about the fire in the backyard while the [-] white soldiers led by his two brothers-in-law, Ma Xianglin and Qin Yiming, were stationed in Shanhaiguan.

With such a good environment, Huang Han will of course seize the time to consolidate his territory. Now that he is unable to make ends meet due to excessive investment, he will go to Japan to earn money and buy rice.

During this period of time, the scouts of the "Red Banner Army" in Ningyuan discovered a new situation, that is, the surviving Han people in the Liaoxi Corridor were discovered one after another.

The propaganda team led by Liu Zaiqi has a new job content. It goes up the mountains and forests to find Han people who live in remote areas, gives them help, and persuades them to join the village system.

The propaganda team is also an armed task force, and now everyone is carrying self-produced guns. Liu Zaiqi was rewarded with a minigun for his outstanding performance, so he has two miniguns.

They worked tirelessly over mountains and ridges, and with the cooperation of scouts and under the protection of the "Red Banner Army" infantry, they entered the vast Yanshan Mountains in the west of the Liaoxi Corridor to find Han people who had escaped the war and tyranny. horse.

After a few months, more than [-] Han people were found. Without exception, these people lived a hard life. Under the temptation of getting five buckets of miscellaneous grains and six coins of silver for each male, they happily registered their household registrations and became villagers.

The physique of these 2 people is relatively better, especially those males. It may be that these people shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending their families, so they must use force.

Liu Zaiqi selected more than a thousand young and strong men who could shoot arrows to participate in the three-day training of the Guards Army, and distributed Ming Army infantry bows to them.

Military standard bows and arrows are contraband among the people, and the hunting bows used by ordinary people for hunting belong to the category of small bows. same.

Qiantunwei now has a total of three thousand general guards, two thousand are always cold weapon spearmen and sword and shield players, and one thousand is always an archer. With them sticking to Qiantunwei City, it is estimated that Jiannu will come three 5000 men and horses can't attack at all.

The Qiantunwei site is not only busy with reclamation, but also cement factories and brick kilns are in the ascendant, because a large amount of cement and bricks are needed to build reservoirs and ditches for small watershed management.

It is true that investment drives prosperity. Tens of thousands of ordinary people have jobs and can get food and earn money.
