Chapter 407: The Seventeenth-Century Labor Legion (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
"The most important thing is to reassure Dolgon."
ζ±ε½εΌΊζ£θ² says:
"Therefore, I took advantage of the fall of Luoyang and the killing of King Fu to write to the imperial court, asking me to personally lead the Pingyu army to the south of Pingkou."
It's as simple as knocking on the sleep and sending a pillow!
King Fu was killed...... Just right, there is just a reason for Dolgon and Huang Taiji to have a reassuring westward expedition and a reassuring eastward crossing.
They have conquered the west and crossed to the east, so that they have the opportunity to recover Liaodong without blood!
"Pingkou going south?"
Everyone was stunned.
"What if the court agrees?"
"The court can't agree to it!"
Fang Yizhi said casually:
"As far as the imperial court is concerned, once the prince leads the troops into the customs, it may increase a lot of variables, and these are not acceptable to the imperial court!"
The success of the trip to Japan allowed Fang Yizhi to really enter the shogunate and become a staff member of the prince, not just a member of the army, after all, there are hundreds of people like him who have joined the army.
"Yes, what if the prince takes the opportunity to seize the power of the place?"
Wan Shouqi sneered:
"Therefore, no matter what, it is impossible for the imperial court to let the prince lead the troops south."
"Since we can figure it out, why can't Huang Taiji and Dolgon see it?"
"So, after refusing, the prince can ask for another decree! Tempting, in the eyes of Huang Taiji and Dolgon, the prince must have to find a way to go south! In this way, they are naturally relieved. β
Fang Yizhi's words made Zhu Guoqiang smile.
"Haha, they are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, if I want...... Why wait until now. β
Zhu Guoqiang's tone was full of sarcasm, indeed, he really wanted that position, that world,...... But, definitely not now!
Even the entry into the customs is not now.
What does Kannai look like now?
Not to mention the outcasts, but at the same time the plague was rampant, and millions of people either died of famine or died of the plague, and entered the customs at this time? Zhu Guoqiang doesn't think he can handle all this.
Let's wait!
As long as you wait for another three days, wait until Li Zicheng captures the capital, wait until Chongzhen is martyred, and then restore the Ming Dynasty in the name of righteousness.
This is the advantage of God's perspective, but in the eyes of both Dolgon and Huang Taiji, they take it for granted that they will take the opportunity to enter the customs under the pretext of occupying the territory and seizing the throne, but they know that the real opportunity will be in three years.
Three years, just wait another three years!
As for the past three years, after first eliminating the Jiannu and solving the possibility of suffering from the enemy, can we make every effort to clean up the rogues. Of course, there is also a group of officers who have been trained, and these officers and soldiers have been honed in the war, and when they enter the customs, the Pingyu Army, which has rich experience in actual combat outside the customs, must be a real tiger and wolf division!
Only such a tiger and wolf army can quickly end the war and let the people live a peaceful life again. It's worth it to trade three years for a quick fix in one or two years!
Only in this way can the people live a peaceful life earlier!
Later, Zhu Guoqiang inquired about the training of the troops, after all, there was going to be a war. In fact, since arriving in Liaodong, except for Dongjiang Town, the Pingyu Army has basically never fought a big battle, and as for the hundreds of thousands of military households, it is just a regular exercise. But even so, as reservists, they are still worthy of the elite of the First World War by the standards of this era.
However, in this era, the policy of elite soldiers is obviously out of place, and even if there are more than 100,000 military households as reserves, it is impossible for all of these people to be mobilized...... There are not enough troops!
When Chen Wudi reported to them, Zhu Guoqiang wrote on the paper from time to time, and finally he wrote two words on the paper casually, and then drew a circle.
"How many cash-for-work laborers do we have in Shandong right now?"
In order to provide relief to the displaced people who continue to pour into Shandong, Shandong has been implementing "work for relief", and those displaced people have built construction sites and water conservancy projects in various parts of Shandong, and millions of displaced people have relied on working on construction sites in exchange for meager food.
Originally, according to Zhu Guoqiang's plan, these people should be sent overseas, immigrate overseas, and contribute to the second colonization of the Chinese nation.
Even, Zhu Guoqiang has already made a plan, in the next three years, first 500,000 immigrants to Taiwan, 1.5 million immigrants to the Mekong Delta, 200,000 immigrants to Singapore and the Malay Peninsula in the future, as well as Borneo, and even Luzon, after all, now the Spaniards have occupied Manila and the surrounding areas, as for northern Luzon, it is also a place "since ancient times".
In the end, through such dispersalization, two million to three million people will be emarmed within three years, which is of course a very ideal number, but one thing is certain, if the Ming sea ships can be mobilized and these people can be transported out, it will not be a problem, and at that time, these two or three million immigrants will be like dandelion seeds, spreading Chinese civilization in the South Seas, and completing the third expansion of China, just like the Han people crossed the Yangtze River from the Central Plains in history and immigrated south of the Yangtze River and even the Lingnan region on a large scale. Maybe now it seems that those places are full of "indigenous barbarians", but it only takes two hundred years for it to become a hinterland that is not much different from the Ming Dynasty, and Mu Ying's hundreds of thousands of Tuntian soldiers have turned Yunnan into a part of "since ancient times", so that the local natives can change their official dialect, and Yunnan will become a province that is not much different from the hinterland, not to mention millions of immigrants!
As long as there are two hundred years, Southeast Asia will no longer be Southeast Asia, but the third great expansion of the Chinese nation after the Yellow River and the Yangtze River! Even as long as he thinks of that scene, Zhu Guoqiang's mind will always come up with the sentence "Where the sun and the moon shine and the rivers go, they are all clear land".
That's the real empire!
But now, the plan can be changed slightly, after all, at the moment, he needs to expand his military strength, and with only 100,000 troops, it is obvious that he will not be able to complete the task in three years.
Compared with ordinary people, this group of laborers is the easiest group of people to train into the army, and even more trained than the township soldiers in Shandong, because they have nothing!
People who have nothing know how to cherish more!
"According to the official letter sent by the Yamen of the governor of Shandong, there are now about 760,000 laborers in Shandong, and these laborers are currently distributed on official roads and water conservancy project construction sites in various places."
"Seven hundred and sixty thousand! That's a lot! β
After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang said.
"Sent an order to the governor of Shandong, considering that the current outcasts are rampant, in order to avoid the laborers being instigated by others and to facilitate management, the laborers should be militarized, all the laborers should be formed in formation, and the spare time should be used to conduct drills......"
760,000 laborers, even if not all of those people are real strong men, but even if there are only 200,000 or 300,000 strong men, even if they are trained, that is 230,000 reserves, with these hundreds of thousands of reserves resting there, plus the township soldiers in Shandong, there are almost a million troops under his command.
Of course, this is a theoretical number, after all, most of the township soldiers in Shandong are just a group of people, if strictly speaking, their combat effectiveness is not much stronger than that of the Liukou, at most they have a certain advantage in weapons and equipment, there are a large number of waist knives and spears, that's all. Well, they also have some armor, especially the elite of the township soldiers in Jinan, who have tens of thousands of pieces of various armor.
However, even so, they turned out to be untrained reserves, and perhaps these people were not able to fight against the Manchu elite. But it's still no problem to fight the rogues.
Last year, it was not only the homeless people who flowed into Shandong, but also the homeless gangsters, but they had already been cleaned up by the township soldiers before they became popular.
It was those township soldiers who maintained the Tai of Shandong's borders. However, it is not difficult to recruit all of them out of the province to fight, as long as there is enough military pay, but training is also required after conscription.
Let's take it one step at a time. First lay a good foundation, with such a million reserves as a reserve, at least there is no need to worry about the rogues drowning the officers and troops like a flood.
Everyone discussed some other matters, and just as the meeting was adjourned, someone came to report for duty.
"Lord Shizi, the palace sent someone to deliver an urgent letter!"
