The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 400
With food and money, no one thinks of hard work. This is the industrious Han nationality, which is the characteristic of the vast majority of Han people. For hope, Han people are willing to work hard and sweat profusely.

The bunker defense system built by Ning Yuandong's previous Liaodong economic strategists spent more than ten years and millions of taels of silver was not abandoned by the "Red Banner Army".

On the contrary, the military and civilians also repaired and strengthened some forts within [-] miles east of Ningyuan, basically extending to the sea at intervals of ten or five miles.

This line of defense stretches for nearly sixty miles, between Yanshan Mountain and the sea, backed by the strong city of Ningyuan, echoed by Juehua Island on the sea, and has become the east gate of the West Liaoning Corridor. Ever since the "Red Banner Army" came here Enforced as in the Golden State area.

Strictly speaking, it is quite easy to get in. If you want to leave, you must be guaranteed, otherwise you will be detained for three years as a coolie in the cement factory for no reason.

If it is proved innocent, they can be freed at any time to divide the land and leave it for reclamation, and the spies who are proved to be slaves will lose their heads at any time. Therefore, many Han people who cannot tell their origins have been detained. They use their sweat in cement factories and coal mines for food. Food that fills your belly.

Due to the management of the "Red Banner Army" in place, and because of the secret sentries arranged in the bunkers, mountains, and dense forests, the cavalry on standby at any time can destroy the sentry cavalry sent by Jiannu in the shortest time, so the layout and strength of the slave chieftains to Ning Yuanxi Know nothing.

The use of spies is the consistent policy of Jiannu, and paying attention to the collection of intelligence is the guarantee for Jiannu to attack accurately.

It was rumored that the "Red Banner Army" was involved in Ningyuan, and Hong was restless. He issued an order to focus on the military situation near Ningyuan City. The slave chief needs to know how many troops there are, including how many "Red Banner Army" people.

The fifth year of Chongzhen was also the sixth year of Jin Tiancong's post. Hong Jie had already been the head and tail of Jin Dahan for six years, and his position gradually stabilized.

Hong Gang, who had just punished Mang Gurtai not long ago, became more powerful. Seeing that his son Yue Tuo was being reused, Dai Shan chose to remain silent.
Among the four great Baylors of the old slave period, the youngest, Old Eighty-four Baylor Hong, became a profuse sweat, which of course would cause dissatisfaction with the other three big Baylors.

Hong Zai, who just took the Khan position, chose to forbear, and when discussing major issues, there are four top seats. Dai Shan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, and Hong Zai sit facing south and make decisions together.

The arrogant Erbeile Amin was imprisoned the year before last, and this year the domineering Sanbeile was deprived of the title of Heshuobeile and downgraded to Dorobeile. He cut down five soldiers and horses, and fined 1 taels of war horses for dozens of horses.

Because Hong Jie had already grasped the imperial power, and because Mang Gurtai had a bad temper and was unpopular, the generals of the Eight Banners avoided him, and no one spoke for him.

Mangurtai was suspected by the Great Khan, and most of them chose to overthrow the wall.

Some of the Eight Banners generals who used to have contacts with him cut off contact for fear of getting bad luck.

Mang Gurtai was emptied of real power, and now he can only choose to bow his head, but he would not think that if he shrinks his head, he will inevitably be stabbed.

In March of Yangchun, the wind is sunny and the spring plowing in Liaodong is not yet over. The fields are full of indifferent Ahha and whip-wielding Tungus slave owners.

Hong, who pays attention to farming, brought more than a hundred civil servants and generals to the fields outside Shengjing to be close to the people. The black soil in the Northeast is very suitable for planting crops, but Houjin’s grain yield per mu is not high. It may be Caused by slavery.

This is the same as before the Guochao land contract. The common people were not motivated to grow their own fields. As a result, they did not have enough food and even starved to death. Later, the land was contracted to private individuals, and there was no hunger again.

Most of the people who are busy in the farmland of the post-gold slave owners are Han people Aha. It is impossible for the slaves who have no food, no clothes, and whips all day long to really work hard for the slave owners.

The Han people are too fussy, and it can be considered extremely selfish. They don’t even pay for the so-called masters of the family to work for the collective or farm for the country.

As soon as Huang Han came up, he adopted the principle of distributing the private harvest of the land in half, because he knew that the Han people were too smart, and the Han people who had no profit to afford their own land would of course do their best to serve their land.

There is so much land for Jianshou that due to insufficient manpower, it cannot be cultivated at all. Most of them choose good fields for cultivation.

But even so, it is difficult to guarantee the output, so it is futile for the Jiannu who own too much fertile land to not have the land conflicts of the Ming Dynasty.

The slave chiefs appeared at the spring plowing site, and the numb ahas knelt on the ground. Hong Jie pretended to be cold and warm, then picked up a hoe and gave some instructions, and ended the show amidst the flattery of some traitor officials.

When returning to the city, Hong was thinking of Ning Yuan, and asked Yue Tuo who accompanied him, "Heshuo Baylor, why hasn't Ning Yuan detected it yet? What's going on there?"

Yue Tuo is also considering sending additional manpower to spy on Ning Yuanxi, because the intelligence collection in other areas is normal, only Ning Yuanxi has a strange incident, and the scouts and spies who went there disappeared without a sound, and no one has returned.

Yue Tuo said truthfully: "Khan, the servant thinks that the 'Red Banner Army' must have strengthened the investigation and caused our army's sentry to miss, so the slave will organize elite sentry cavalry to spy on Ning Yuanxi again with a team of ten and a hundred. I believe ten There will be news within a few days."

Hong Jie nodded and said: "The 'Red Banner Army' should not be underestimated. In the future, it will definitely be my big enemy. It is very important to collect their information. Heshuo Baylor should not only send more scouts, but also follow Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and others When Han officials work together to use the time, sometimes they can buy people inside, and the value of the information will be completely different."

"The slave has been taught, and will contact Master Fan after returning."

"I have been using a lot of Han officials, not thinking that these scum who have forgotten their ancestors will be loyal to the Dajin Kingdom, but using them to deal with hundreds of millions of Han people.

The Ming Dynasty is so great, and there are so many Han people. Only by using the Han people to deal with the Han people, our Dajin Kingdom can benefit from it. "

"The slave obeys the order, and the slave will live in harmony with the Han officials in the future, and will never speak ill again."

"It's good that Heshuo Baylor can understand my hard work and hard work. I will reward you for your hard work."

"Thank you profusely!"

Yue Tuo is the best of the wild boar's grandchildren, with strategy and city government, he puts the state affairs first, and really called Li Yongfang, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, Zhang Cunren and other Han officials to brainstorm on the same day.

Next, more than a dozen teams of sentinel horses and spies were dispatched, and the tasks assigned were to quickly find out the arrangement of the "Red Banner Army" in Ningyuan.
