CHAPTER XXVII
Zhi Yan rushed to see Yang Yingqi coming to Pennsylvania and asked, "How is Ah Hu?" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "Everything is fine. ”
Zhi Yanchong nodded, and then asked: "Our captives are sent to Han Village in batches, and things over there must be a thousand things, why do you still have time to come?" ”
Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "After the last incident of subduing the captives, Hancun has formed a set of systems, how to calm people's hearts, how to select talents, how to integrate them into the Han Department, there is a routine for operation." I'm only responsible for creating, and I'll try to let the people below take care of trivial matters, so why should I worry too much! The land is only ten miles, and there are less than 1,000 households, so the population of this place is afraid that I will be too busy, and I will be underestimated. ”
Cao Guangbi said: "But is our money and food still enough?" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "I had prepared for these things before the war. What's more, in this big victory, the number of victories sent by Brother Kaiyuan is very considerable. Zhao Guan, Liu Cong and others saw that our situation was very good, and they also changed their methods to deliver us urgent materials. I exchanged the captives of the Khitan and Xi tribes with the Jurchens for Han and Bohai captives, and gave the treasures to the Jurchen Haoqiang's family through Ah Hu's sister-in-law. Only food and clothing were left. Today, the East Village is full of more than 1,000 people, and the first batch of people can help mine and mine iron, herd horses and sheep. Although the population is large, as long as this year has passed, everything will be as expected. Zhou Sheng said that the first harvest season of last year is coming, and it is completely possible for us to rely on our own grain production to feed 10,000 people. When the second harvest season comes, there is no problem in raising 30,000 or 50,000 people. And as more and more people are put in, our food situation will get better and better. ”
Zhi Yan said: "We have a lot of manpower, but the land is ......"
Yang Yingqi said, "Do you remember the Eastern Continent crops we brought from that nameless valley? The land needed for those things is very different from the land needed for traditional crops. So we are now planting on wasteland that the Jurchens don't want, and there is no contradiction for the time being. ”
Zhi Yanchong smiled slightly and said, "It sounds like everything is in order in Han Village, so what are you doing here?" ”
Yang Yingqi smiled: "Things are generally going well on my side, but I don't know how your side is?" ”
Di Yu told about the war situation, prisoners of war, recruits, etc.
Yang Yingqi nodded after hearing this: "Okay." I'm afraid you're expanding your forces too quickly. The eldest brother is now Meng'an, and the team of eight hundred people is fully worthy. However, Pennsylvania is small and narrow, so it is not suitable for long-term residence. This place is still left to the Wanyan Sect to guard, so let's go back. ”
Zhi Yan was stunned and said, "Go back?" Right now? Does it need to be so fast? ”
Yang Yingqi said: "My sister-in-law is waiting at home, and there are many soldiers here who have families in Han Village. Although the Liao people are defeated, they must not give up, and take advantage of the fact that the Liao army has not made a big move, let everyone go back to Han Village to recuperate. After all, the conditions over there are much better than here. ”
Di Yu and Cao Guangbi both heard what Yang Yingqi said, and knew that he must have other plans in his heart, otherwise he would not have left Hancun and came here.
Cao Guangbi saw that there were no outsiders around, so he asked directly: "Ying Qi, are you trying to avoid suspicion?" I don't think the Jurchens treat us with any gaps, especially after the eldest brother gets married, and the two sides have no suspicions. Are you being too careful? ”
Yang Yingqi said: "When there is a gap, it will be difficult to make up for it." At the moment, our strength is not enough to stand on our own, so it is better to stay under the nose of Wanyan and live an honest life. Before I came, I had already consulted Du Bo Jilie, saying that the Han man thought about his homeland, and he had already allowed us to return to Huining. Tomorrow Zerusai will come and take over Pennsylvania. ”
Zhi Yanchong was silent for a long time, no longer objected, and let Di Yushuai have 400 troops to guard Pennsylvania, and Alu Man was the deputy, just waiting for the Yan Department to send someone to hand over. He and Cao Guangbi, Yang Yingqi, Yang Kaiyuan, and Xiao Tienu raised 400 cavalry and 500 sappers and marched towards Huining. Yang Yingqi looked at the ranks of the sappers and said, "Our main battle strength is only 800 people, but there are 500 sappers, and there are 200 in Hancun, this ratio is too wrong." ”
Yang Kaiyuan said with a smile: "Is there any way, they will sift out some people along the way, and it is not good to stuff them back into the prisoner camp, and they will all be under my command." ”
Zhi Yanchong thought for a while and said: "The quality of these people is actually good, and half of them can be used as a backup!" ”
In this battle, the Han army captured more than 1,800 people, of which 600 were incorporated into the army, and the rest were either farmers, laborers, or sappers in reserve. The glazed house and the forging room didn't need so many people for a while, so Yang Yingqi asked them to open mines, transport coal, and move stones to build villages.
On the way, Yang Yingqi said: "The biggest problem in our Han Village before was that there were more men and fewer women. This time, the East Road and Southeast Road troops captured a lot of Bohai women, and the singles in Han Village drooled. ”
Orihiko rushed: "And then? ”
Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "Of course, many people try their best to buy one to quench the fire. I immediately set the rule: slaves are not allowed in Han Village, even if they are bought, they can only be wives, not slaves. If you want to buy a wife, if you don't have enough money, you can borrow it from me. ”
Zhi Yanchong smiled: "If this is the case, Han Village must be very lively now." ”
Yang Yingqi said: "Yes, before I set off, there were already more than 300 bachelors who came to borrow money for the marriage book. ”
Zheyan Chongqi said: "Marriage book? ”
Yang Yingqi said: "It is also a new regulation, we are civilized people, we can't get married, we have to go to the village chief to get a marriage certificate before we can get married." Hey! These 300 people used tea to buy their wives, and their marriage emptied the tea leaves in my hand. ”
Zhi Yanchong said with a smile: "Having a family and a room is very good for stabilizing the hearts of the people in the Han Department." But isn't there a house for five or six people in our new village? How do you live if you marry a wife? ”
Yang Yingqi said: "It was a semi-military house. In each village, I left the land and made the billets. After marrying a wife, you can still buy bricks and stones to build a small home - well, of course, you still have to come to Han Village to borrow money. He pointed behind him and said, "Among these hundreds of people, there are only a few dozen who have wives." When they all go back, those who have not married wives will probably be very blushing when they see the singles of the Ministry of Civil Affairs marrying wives one by one, and it will definitely be another round of marriage and intimacy at that time! But they are good, after this battle, most of them have also won a lot of rewards, and they don't need to go to the village to borrow money to buy a wife and build a house. ”
When Orihiko rushed back to Huininghan Village, in addition to the main village, there were three other villages around the village with smoke wafting, and the villages were scattered and lively.
Yang Yingqi said: "Our Hanbu village sits in the northwest and faces southeast, which can accommodate 3,000 people after expansion, and there are eight villages around, because the direction of its location is the front, back, left, right, east, south, west and north. Each village can accommodate 2,000 people. In the future, if nine villages were to be connected into one, a small city of 50,000 people could be formed. But that's probably years from now. ”
Cao Guangbi said: "Then how many people are there in our Han Department now?" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "The exact number, even I can't tell for the time being." It's about 3,000. In addition to the prisoners of war and the tribesmen who have just bought their families, there are also many fugitive slaves - you know, we have no slaves in the Han Dynasty, and many slaves of the Jurchen heroes can't bear it, so they run to our side. However, I will only accept those who can speak Chinese. ”
Cao Guangbi said: "I thought it was strange to see you building a lot of construction in the middle of the year, but now it seems that it is as if you had calculated the situation today, otherwise you would not have laid blanks for these villages at that time." Old Seven, don't you really know what martial arts and god calculations can know, can you know the past and the future? ”
Yang Yingqi smiled: "I said I have, do you believe it?" ”
Cao Guangbi smiled: "Don't believe it! ”
Yang Yingqi said: "The Liao people made a mistake! Each of these troop deployments revealed the incompetence of the central decision-makers! If they had been thunderous at the beginning, I am afraid that we would have been crushed by now. But they are good, the army is sent little by little, the defeat is fought one by one, and the manpower and financial resources are sent to this side little by little, it is not like they are here to kill the enemy, but to finance the enemy! It's like finding a tiger cub in the mountains, but you send a pig first and get eaten; another horse was sent, and it was eaten; I sent another hound, but it was still eaten. By the time they came to their senses and were going to attack with all their might, the tiger cub had already turned into a fierce tiger! ”
