Chapter 567: The Secret Battle in Western Liaoning
There was no war in Liaoxi in the Ming Dynasty, and the first two years of Liaodong were stable.
Hanzi is an honest man, he has never fought for power and profit after becoming the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, and he respects the old master who is over 70 years old, and he trains his men and horses every day to never slack off.
More than a year has passed, and the combat effectiveness of the 6,000 men and horses of the main barracks directly led by Hanzi is equal to that of the regular soldiers of the "Red Banner Army", but the strange barracks, reinforcement battalions, guerrilla battalions and two garrison battalions that belong to Hanzi's moderation are somewhat unsatisfactory.
Because of his personality, Hanzi is good at executing orders and moving forward bravely in battle, but he is actually not an official at all, and he will not grab power from the class.
If Huang Han served as the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, more than a year would be enough time to make the deputy generals, staff generals, guerrillas, and garrisons obey orders, and those who disobeyed would definitely be overturned or forced to leave.
Hanzi doesn't know how to play power, he only knows that he has 6,000 people in the main barracks under his direct leadership.
On the contrary, Gao Di did his best to transfer the officer team brought by Hanzi to infiltrate other battalions, although he did not successfully control the more than 20,000 men and horses stationed in Shanhaiguan, and also improved the combat effectiveness of other battalion leaders.
After all, military attachés from the "Red Banner Army" will follow the practice of putting military salaries in the hands of each grassroots soldier on a monthly basis.
They have the "Quartet Money Bank" and the "Red Flag Grain Bank" to subsidize money and grain, and they are guilty of and disdain to rely on deducting soldiers' food and salaries for personal gain, and it is natural that they are supported by soldiers and low-level military attachés.
For more than a year, even if only the actual commanders under the command of the deputy generals, staff officers, and guerrillas of Shanhaiguan were always from the "Red Banner Army," this biao man and horse naturally became the most neat team in the battalion, and it was also the most disciplined and capable team.
Du Xun, the eunuch of the prison army, sat in Shanhaiguan, and Hanzi was given according to Huang Han's instructions, and basically did not associate with this eunuch, and ate and lived in the barracks every day.
In the face of Hanzi, an upright martial artist, even if Du Xun is full of intrigues and tricks, it will not help, and he always has to care about the face of Fang Zhenghua, Cao Huachun, and Wang Chengen, and he can't wipe his face and embarrass it publicly.
The secret performance obtained by the imperial court naturally came from Du Xun, the eunuch of the prison army, and it is an indisputable fact that the overall combat effectiveness of the Shanhaiguan garrison has been improved.
Chongzhen was very relieved to learn that Yang Dalang, the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, was very relieved to train hard in the barracks every day, and strictly ordered Du Xun not to shorten the food and salary of this talented man.
Due to the fact that Chongzhen sent Henan war refugees one after another in the early summer of the sixth year, the population of the western Liaoning corridor increased by hundreds of thousands, and now it is prosperous, and the planned reservoirs and ditches have been basically completed, and it is expected that there will be no problems when the harvest reaches medium or above this autumn.
Gao Di's achievements for more than a year are reflected in the restoration of the guard to achieve the military tun, and now there are not only the former tun guards, but also the restoration and addition of Ningyuan left guard, Ningyuan right guard and Jinzhou guard.
At present, the commanders of the Weisuo Army, Tongzhi, Qianhu Officials, and Suppression Officers are of course all generals of the "Red Banner Army".
Huang Han is the chief military officer of Xuzhen, with adjutant generals, staff generals, guerrillas, and water battalion men and horses under his command, with a number of more than 20,000 soldiers.
Father Huang Yizhou is the chief military officer of Ningyuan, and he also has nearly 20,000 soldiers, plus the Shanhaiguan Barracks directly led by Hanzi, the number of people and horses that the imperial court must pay is close to 50,000.
It stands to reason that 50,000 horses would get 1,500,000 taels of silver a year for a single grain and a horse feed, and this does not include the cost of armor and weapons and repairs and fortifications of the city.
Due to the eccentricity of Liaodong's economic strategy, the "Red Banner Army" already accounted for the majority of Liaodong's salary, and last year it actually received 1.2 million taels of military expenditure, including the money for engineering and equipment.
The Weisuo army is self-sufficient, it is impossible for the imperial court to pay food, and the current tuntian is in the tax holiday.
With the addition of Funing Wei, Huang Han actually controlled five guards, and the number of guards plus the number of officers with more than 100 households was close to 30,000.
Today, no guard in the Ming Dynasty can reach the full quota of 5,600, but the guard directly managed by Huang Han is an exception, not only the guard army is full, but even seriously overstaffed.
Zu Dashou refused to enter the Jingmian Saint for the third time, the emperor was already cold to this person, and many ministers of the imperial court also decided to give up this warlord who might be sentenced to surrender to Jiannu by the Ming Dynasty at any time, and drew a line with him to avoid being implicated.
Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the Jinzhou Prison Army, wrote many times to ask for food and salary for the ancestral army, and his words burned as many as 50,000 people and horses in Jinzhou, Songshan, and Xingshan, and asked for 50,000 horses to be paid.
The imperial court refused to admit that these soldiers and horses who had not been inspected were only willing to pay half of the salary, and the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the proportion of Zu Dashou's military salary being floated was more than one percent higher than that of the "Red Banner Army", and less than 500,000 taels of silver were received last year.
This year, his life was even more difficult, because Huang Han informed Yang Danian, Song Pengfei and other left-behind generals to strictly prevent the ancestral army from defecting to the enemy, and in order to avoid making the imperial court's food and salary to the enemy, the "Red Banner Army" withheld all the supplies that should be given to Jinzhou.
At the same time, the flag guards began to move, they would not try to rebel against the ancestral army, in fact, not all of the people stationed on the front line in Jinzhou were the descendants of Zu Dashou, and there were also many generals who recognized the imperial court and did not recognize Zu Dashou.
Due to the lack of food and salary for several months, in addition to the ancestral army stationed in Jinzhou, the Ming army in Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan and other castles was miserable, and the Ming army had already begun to break away from the control of the ancestral family in Jinzhou and cross the defense line of Tashan Nanbao to Ningyuan.
As long as the Ming army came from Liaodong, Ningyuan would take it in, and those with outstanding combat skills would become reserve soldiers after screening, and then turn into the guard army, and the old and weak simply married their daughters-in-law and arranged acres of land to be tunhu.
In the past two years, thousands of women who have been coerced by the exiles have been rescued, and now the ratio of men and women in western Liaoning is somewhat out of balance, and many old households have an economic foundation, and some people have begun to take concubines.
These tun households are very smart, and taking concubines actually makes the family have another laborer, and the physical strength of women is not as good as that of men, and the role of raising chickens, ducks, and pigs is not inferior to that of men.
Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan garrisoned 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and they needed so many vegetables, meat, and poultry eggs every day.
Therefore, most of the women, the elderly, and children in the tunhu family are raising chickens, ducks and geese, and these poultry eat insects, and a large amount of manure is used as organic fertilizer, which makes the farmland more secure.
The Ming army that returned to Ningyuan from the front line of Jinzhou also had a part of the Liaodong people who dragged their families and mouths, and more of them were bachelors, and they were able to do the good thing of marrying a daughter-in-law, which made too many people afraid that it was a dream.
Next, the propaganda team found more than a dozen veterans of the former Guanning Army to chat with the Ming troops stationed in Tashan Beibao, and they also brought their newly married daughters-in-law to say a few words to the brothers of the original army.
