Chapter 133: Point General
Liang Tingdong has a good personal relationship with Zheng Guochang, and a big reason why he is a good soldier is because Huang Han has repeatedly made meritorious contributions, and the development of the "Red Flag Army" on the territory is the result of the conspiracy of the two.
This means that Huang Han not only has a quota of 1,360 battalions, but also has a quota of 5,600 guards.
In fact, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the guard system had already existed in name only, and the guard army was not able to use it at all, but it was just sending a squad army to do coolies, and it had almost degenerated into a peasant, and there was no combat effectiveness at all.
But with financial and material resources, Huang Han owning a guard will be very different. He will not exploit the guards under his command, and will also pay money and grain to organize their production and training, and in a year or two, the combat effectiveness of these guards should be no less than that of ordinary Ming troops.
In fact, the territory of a guard house is really not small, and most of them have three or five thousand households.
One of the Thousand Households City is the location of the Acropolis, and there should be several hundred houses under the Thousand Households, and some of the Hundred Households should also have several forts.
The Acropolis of Funing has been destroyed, and of course it is repaired, how difficult the finances of Chongzhen are, and it is impossible for the imperial court to give silver, only the commanders, commanders and other officers can find their own way.
After the Huang and Han repeated attacks, the Jin army had already made a fortune, and of course the wealth obtained should be used to enrich the country and strengthen the army, so that the "Red Banner Army" could establish a convenient entry and exit base and a base that could be attacked, retreated, and defended.
He will not renovate Funingwei on the original site, but will build this acropolis on the shore of the Liaohai Sea, which has a natural harbor.
There was originally a thousand-household castle here, and even if it was dilapidated, it would not matter, after all, the foundation was ready-made, and there was no problem in becoming an acropolis after it was expanded again.
In the future, Huang Han will have a city by the sea, have his own wharf, buy some ships, use his connections, ask the Ministry of War to approve a water battalion, and give a total of seven or eight No. 3 and No. 4 fortune ships as war ships, it should not be too difficult.
A fortified city standing by the sea, the benefits are self-evident, at least when there is no Houjin army of the sailor to attack, it will no longer be able to surround this city.
The "Red Banner Army" can use the artillery arranged at the head of the city and raise guns to kill and wound a large number of enemies to attack the city, can get supplies from the sea, and can send cavalry to constantly attack the enemy troops who come to besiege them, and the enemy will definitely lose interest in taking the Funing Acropolis in the long run.
This city is on the shore of the Liaohai Sea, and the "Red Banner Army" with warships and cargo ships can completely ignore the Shanhaiguan Pass and go directly to the Houjin Army by boat, and the long coastline of Liaodong that reaches more than 2,000 miles will become the target of the sneak attack, so that the enemy will naturally weaken Jiannu if he is tired of running for his life.
After the Jin army swept through the land of Gyeonggi and coerced 300,000 people to Liaodong, the loss of the population of the Ming Dynasty was far from knowing this, and the people who were slaughtered and froze to death and starved to death in the process of fleeing should be at least doubled, and the total population of the total loss was conservatively estimated to be no less than one million.
Jiannu gnawed the land of Gyeonggi like locusts, too many landlords and old wealth also lost their lives, and many officers in the garrison who had embezzled military land were also killed, and many officers defected to the enemy.
In fact, this can be regarded as a complete break of the power structure in Gyeonggi, and it is relatively easy for Huang Han to regain the military land of Funingwei at this time.
After all, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, each military household was given 50 acres of land, so it can be seen that a fully staffed guard should have more than 200,000 acres of military land.
Huang Han adopted the method of settling the general account after the autumn to investigate the responsibility of the military attachés at all levels and the landlords of the Yongping Mansion, and was willing to give up the military land that had been embezzled in his hands to be extrajudicial and merciful, and those who were stubborn and ineffective were punished for the crime of betraying the country.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, land annexation was already in full swing, and there were so many landless peasants, and the land was concentrated in the hands of the bureaucracy.
There are no absolutely bad things and good things in the world, and the looting of Gyeonggi by the Later Jin army led to a loss of no less than one million people, which is conducive to alleviating the land conflict.
After all, many scholars and doctors who owned a large number of acres of land also died in the war and chaos, and many others surrendered to Jiannu, and even if they did not die, they were about to face the aftermath of the autumn.
It can be seen that after the Houjin army is defeated, the land boundary of Yongping Mansion should be a state of more land and less people, and then there will be upstarts to carve up the acres of ownerless land.
I'm sorry, Huang Han should also be one of the upstarts, and with Zheng Guochang, the right-hand political envoy, and Liu Zhilun, the governor of Shuntian, to protect him, it should be natural to get a big benefit when he shares the fruits of victory.
The reason why the land of Gyeonggi was not rebuilt quickly after Jiannu first entered the army and retired from the army was because the Ming Dynasty's dominance was extremely weak, and the common people could only fend for themselves without relief, and many strong men could certainly not wait for death with peace of mind.
As a result, the ringing horses, thieves, and mountain kings who gathered in the mountains and forests emerged in an endless stream, and the local order was chaotic, resulting in the inability of the people to produce with peace of mind, and the result was that a large number of fertile fields were barren.
This has created a ridiculous and sad status quo at the end of the Ming Dynasty, on the one hand, the land annexation is serious, and the small people in Shengdou do not have their own land, and on the other hand, a large amount of land is abandoned and no one cultivates it.
As a man with the big golden finger of modern knowledge, Huang Han certainly knows the importance of order, and he already has the "Red Banner Army" in his hands, and he has an army that will soon have a guard station, so it is of course effortless to maintain good law and order in the local area.
With Huang Han's capital investment, technical assistance, and the army as a backer, as well as the support of the governor and political envoys, it will not be too difficult for Huang Han to manage the territory he has touched into a royal paradise.
No accumulation of steps, no thousands of miles, no accumulation of small streams, no rivers and seas. With the territory near the sea, Huang Han will operate with heart, and develop agriculture and industry at the same time, and it will surely be fruitful in time.
The generals of Zunhua not only received a reward, but also received a new task, Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian were about to go to Funing, because Sun Chengzong had arrived in Funing to take command, and he personally ordered Ma and Wu to be among them.
Zheng Guochang also ordered to go to the army, Huang Han's "Red Flag Army" was about to rush to Fengrun County to assemble, and Deng Xi, the chief officer of the Sichuan Army, was also ordered by Zheng Guochang, and the 7,000 white pole soldiers who were still on the road would also rush to Fengrun to converge.
Liu Zhilun, the new official of the Shuntian Governor's residence, is still Zunhua, although there are more than 10,000 people here, but Liu Zhilun is not worried about the safety of Zunhua at all.
Because it has been confirmed by many sources of information, the main force of the Houjin Army has returned home, and there are less than 10,000 people and horses still in the pass, of which more than half of the Eight Banners armor soldiers.
The Later Jin army has changed from an active offensive to a passive defense, except for the four cities of Santunying, Yongping, Qian'an, and Luanzhou, which are still in chaos, and the common people in other places have been sowing spring wheat when they are rushing to farm.
