Daming wolf ride

On the third day of September, Dayong agreed to marry more than 8000 returnable women in the city with the young and strong in the village. Of course, the premise is that the women are voluntary.This policy has been unanimously supported by the young and strong people in the village. Of course, compared with the large-scale collective wedding of the Jinzhou Army, they have no wedding at all.

There are no matchmakers, no bride price, no firecrackers, no banquets, and some are just silent expectations. Everything is very low-key, except that every day, the carriages are loaded with women carrying pitifully few clothes to the guards. There was no further movement.However, I doubt that this is good governance. The great good governance has an impact no less than that of Dayong's resettlement of the victims.

Under Dayong's urging, everything in Dengzhou City has gradually returned to track. Although the population is small, the city has regained some vitality.Those who had done small business in the past also appeared on the street. There were also businessmen from other places who heard that Dengzhou had settled down and came here to do business boldly.Although most of the original shops on the market are still closed, there are still a few shops that have reopened with the support of the government.

The temporary Dengzhou government has really helped Dayong a lot, and Dayong appreciates Song Guanglan and the others more and more. He has sent people to Beijing more than once to inquire about the court's handling of these demoted officials.

There are a lot of real estate in the city. Dengzhou is the resident of Denglai Governor’s Yamen, and it is also an important military town. Before the rebellion, Dengzhou City was the largest city along the coast of Shandong. When Sun Yuanhua was governor, there were more than 4 troops in the garrison alone. , there will be fewer shops in this city? [

After inspecting the two streets accompanied by Song Guanglan and the others, Dayong became more and more reluctant to give up Dengzhou. As long as the population increases, this city is undoubtedly a treasure house for the Jinzhou Army.Among other things, the sale and lease of those shops alone can provide Dayong with a considerable military salary.Moreover, the city wall of Dengzhou is really tall, and I am afraid that it can be compared with the provincial capitals of other provinces. With this strong city as a solid base, isn't it stronger than Jinzhou, which is a dangerous place to advance and retreat.

How can the imperial court hand over Dengzhou to itself?At some point, Dayong suddenly had such an idea that shouldn't have come into his mind.

.........

In view of the fact that both parents died during the war and there were too many orphans, Dayong ordered Dengzhou to build an orphanage.The rest of the orphanages in Daming are generally in temples. Occasionally, some wealthy families donate their houses for the orphans to live in. No matter in temples or other places, the local government will specially hire teachers to teach these orphans and teach them to read and write. If one of the orphans can pass the examination of scholar, it is a manifestation of the meritorious service of the local official education. If he can pass the examination of Juren or even Jinshi and younger brother, then the reputation of this local official will be famous all over the world. At worst, it will leave a thick stroke of ink in the local chronicles.

As usual, Song Guanglan and others planned to invite someone to teach these hundreds of orphans, and Dayong also agreed. His current struggle is for the next generation of Daming. It must be a great merit to let children be able to read and write.However, he transferred a few wolf cavalrymen who were unable to ride horses due to injuries to the orphanage to be the children's instructors. In addition to some military training in the army, he also taught them how to use firecrackers. Conduct riding training.

These ideas are all thought of by Dayong on the spur of the moment, and he will do it as soon as he says it. The rules and regulations are not complete, and Dayong is not in a hurry. He will do things first, and it is not impossible to formulate a system later.

Song Guanglan and the others thought that Dayong was going to train these orphans to become his trusted servants, so they had no objection to giving military training to the orphans. These days, the generals of the Ming Dynasty did not raise a group of trusted servants who dared to fight, but no matter how kind they were It's not as good as teaching and training since childhood.

The people came out bravely, and the food was given bravely. Everything belongs to the Jinzhou Army, and it has nothing to do with them. What's your business?

.........

The imperial court has not yet sent anyone to take over Dengzhou, nor has there been an envoy to reward the army. The great achievements of Jinzhou and Denglai's pacification have not been written off. reward method.Dayong was not in a hurry, it was in his liking for the court to delay this matter for a few more months.But he couldn't be ignorant of the court's movements, so he asked Jiang Wanli to ask him for the relevant pond newspapers sent to Laizhou, so that he could know some domestic situations and things about the court from the pond newspapers.

Superintendent Zhu Dadian has returned to Jinan and continues to be his governor of Shandong. Because Gao Qiqian is the biggest beneficiary of the Zang Zang Alliance, and Zhu Dadian's appointment as Shandong governor is Gao Qiqian's approach to the emperor, so Zhu Dadian and Dayong maintain a kind of friendship Of course, this friendship is based on the real gold and silver presented by Dayong and the sharing of military exploits. Otherwise, Governor Zhu might not look directly at a small general from Jinzhou in his opinion.

Out of the consideration of long-term cooperation and winning over this capable soldier, Zhu Dadian will regularly send people to Dengzhou to report some news after returning to Jinan, to give Shi Dayong as much convenience as possible.For this, Dayong is also very grateful. As for the prefect of Lu who died at the hands of Li Dashan, both sides wisely did not mention it.

It is impossible for Shandong not to know how Lu Xiong and the five hundred garrison soldiers died. There is no need for any evidence. Only the Jinzhou Army can suddenly go around to Pingdu and then occupy Dengzhou to know what happened——Changyi But the only way to Pingdu.

In order to explain this "misunderstanding", Dayong once again donated 1 taels of silver to Governor Zhu.

People cannot be resurrected after death, so Governor Zhu will naturally not insist on making decisions for the prefect of Lu.Although one may look down on a general who is only from the third rank, the Jinzhou Army is indeed a strong army, there is no doubt about it.Right now there is a riot of thieves everywhere in the Northwest, Huguang, and Central Plains. No one can guarantee whether the thieves will come to Shandong.At present, the number of soldiers capable of fighting in Shandong is barely 5000. If there are tens of thousands of thieves, Shandong is really hanging, and it will definitely ask the court for reinforcements.

Zhu Dadian still understands the principle of seeking the strong and not the weak. If the troops sent by the imperial court are not as good as his Lu soldiers, it will be a disaster for Shandong. It didn't come out of nowhere.If you want to come, come the strongest, and I heard that the Jinzhou Army has a good military discipline, so it is very necessary to make friends with Shi Dayong.

Zhu Dadian is not a pedantic person, and he fought against the Hongmao clan in Fujian in his early years. After weighing the two, he naturally knew what choice to make.On the side of the prefect of Lu, report to the imperial court that a thief has entered the country, and he can fight the thief army and die. His family is also indispensable for the compensation that should be given, so there is nothing wrong with it.As for the dead garrison Mrs. Peng and the five hundred soldiers, Mr. Zhu was in no mood to fight for them.

.........

Every time Dayong handed out money to others, Jiang Wanli felt pain in his heart. Ten thousand taels was not a small amount. On that day, the emperor rewarded the Songshan Army with the great merit of beheading hundreds of levels, but it was only 1 taels of silver, and it was allocated from internal funds.But millions of taels of silver have been paid out, does it make sense to care about the 1 taels? [

Almost all the things to be done were explained, and Dayong no longer cared about the affairs of Dengzhou City, and plunged into Shuicheng to expand the army.

The 15000 soldiers from the original rebel army must all be integrated into the Jinzhou Army. No one can let them leave the camp, because these people are basically stained with human blood, and they have done a lot of house robbery. Let them leave the barracks There will only be one consequence, and that is to continue to commit bandits without changing their minds.

Rather than letting them be bandits to kill their compatriots with knives, it is better to let them follow themselves to die on the battlefield.
