Chapter 404: Bad Idea

The Ming army may be lawless in the pass, and if it really spreads the bad luck of going out of the customs to fight Jiannu, they will all become good babies.

Huang Han's murderous reputation is far and wide, and no one in the Ming Dynasty knows it, is it too long to dare to harass the army and civilians through the territory of the "Red Flag Army"?

There is no doubt that everyone cherishes life, all the Ming army understands military discipline, and under the watchful eye of the "Red Banner Army", it can be predicted that every army passing through the West Liaoning Corridor will be a well-disciplined force.

Huang Han thought about it, and the Guan Ning army that entered the customs would never let them return to Jinzhou again.

He would encourage Xu Guangqi, Zheng Guochang, Liu Zhilun, Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian to suggest that the emperor and the military department should leave Zu Dabi and Zu Kuan's men and horses to participate in the fight against the Liukou, and the final result was to consume all these people and horses in the pass.

It stands to reason that the emperor and his important ministers have the intention of weakening the Guan Ning army and will accept this bad idea.

If an accident caused the plan to fail, Zu Dabi and Zu Kuan would still be able to take the remaining cavalry of the Guanning Army back to Jinzhou through the Liaoxi Corridor, and Huang Han was ready to disarm them and detain them in Ningyuanxi.

All in all, you can't add a single soldier to Zu Dashou, because these people ended up being traitors and became the Han Eight Banner Army of the Manchu Dynasty.

At this time, deducting one is about the same as killing a Qing soldier, and detaining these people can only let them farm.

The Guanning cavalry should not choose to farm, as long as the publicity is appropriate, ordinary soldiers will be treated well, respected by the "Red Banner Army" collective assimilation, this is to do addition, the Qing army has one less cavalry, the Ming army has one more, the gap is two.

When Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui approached Ningyuan City for thirty miles, they had already discovered that the "Red Banner Army" scouts of this cavalry had already reported the situation to Huang Yizhou and Hanzi, Yang Hanwei and other main generals through the flag relay.

With the passage of time, the education level of the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" has been continuously improved, and now more than 5,000 people can write more than 800 words silently, and more than 2,000 people have mastered more than 1,200 words, and can basically write essays of several hundred words smoothly.

This refers to the illiterate people who were illiterate before joining the army, not including those who were enlightened before joining the army, and not only excluding children and talents, of course, there are not many children and talents in the army.

For the sake of the gold and the bones, in order to encourage the scholars to put pen to paper, the Ming scholars who defected to the "Red Banner Army" were basically able to get taken care of, and the intensity of the recruits' drills was often halved, lest these people really couldn't stay due to physical exhaustion.

Now there are observation posts at the head of Ningyuan City, and there are scouts on duty around the clock, and they observe the outposts outside the city in the agreed direction through clairvoyance mirrors, maybe the distance reaches five or six miles, and they use flags to report the military situation during the day, and use simple light codes to transmit information at night.

Therefore, I didn't see the sentry horses galloping back and forth, and the situation dozens of miles away could be known by the military intelligence headquarters in the city, that is, the praise painting and the pacification officer on duty at the headquarters would use a clairvoyant mirror to observe the four sentry posts upstairs, read the flag language and the secret code of lights, and convey the military information to the chief general on duty.

Such a relatively advanced intelligence transmission can only be done after the whole army is literate and most soldiers can write and calculate, and other armies or Jiannu in the Ming Dynasty can't learn it at all, and they don't have so many soldiers who can write and calculate.

Sang Yu was in charge of going to monitor the guest soldiers who entered the area controlled by the "Red Banner Army", after all, they were all Ming troops, and it was inappropriate to disarm them, but they must abide by the rules, and they could not turn around or look indiscriminately, and they could only march within the scope allowed by the "Red Banner Army".

Huang Yizhou and Hanzi didn't know who the person was coming, and they didn't know that they were going to visit them, and thought they were crossing the border to Shanhaiguan.

It didn't take long for the front sentry to enter the city to deliver the news, it turned out to be Wu Xiang's father and son to visit, Huang Yizhou was surprised, he knew that Wu Xiang was Zu Dashou's brother-in-law, the Huang family and the ancestral family had a personal vendetta, and Wu Xiang came to visit Ningyuan with a shy face.

Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui have been in the dark since they met the general cavalry of the "Red Banner Army", and their mental advantage has disappeared.

When I saw a general of the "Red Flag Army", I found that all the people were equipped with the expensive all-steel cuirass and winding soft armor on the market, everyone was wearing a red cloak, and the war horses under their crotch were fat and strong.

After marching twenty miles, they also found that this cavalry was not only well-equipped, but also remarkably disciplined, and even ordinary marches maintained a battle formation that could charge at any time.

Along the way, everyone in Wu Xiang's family felt uncomfortable, always had a sense of insecurity, always felt that the cavalry they followed exuded murderous aura, and also felt that there was a cool breeze in the back of their heads, and they felt that they were always being watched by.

Finally entering Ningyuan City, all the cavalry felt much more relaxed, they found that they had only been here for a few months, and there was a new rule here, those who rode into the city on horseback must hang dung bags behind the horse's buttocks to catch horse manure, so as not to dirty the street.

Many of the family members thought it was a fart off their pants, but they were dumbfounded when they entered the street.

The spotless bluestone slabs are full of pedestrians, and the shouts of doing business are full of people, and no one is disgraced, and the people in patched clothes are very energetic.

It is Huang Han's consistent policy to maintain a living and prevent the epidemic of diseases, because it is said that in history, the Jingshi with a population of one million was easily defeated by thieves because of the plague epidemic at that time, and countless soldiers and civilians died.

The defeat of Sun Chuanting's army was also due to the outbreak of the epidemic in the army, which produced a large number of non-combat attrition.

Therefore, the garrison of the "Red Banner Army" must be clean and tidy, and as long as there is the territory of the "Red Banner Army", no one is allowed to drink raw water.

Ordinary people who find that they have a headache and fever will have medical officers take the initiative to diagnose and treat them, and if they cannot judge the condition, they will be isolated, and where there is no clean water source, the "Red Flag Army" will dig wells to benefit the people.

Coupled with the incessant propaganda of the propaganda team and the sticks and whips of the law enforcement team, the original residents of Ningyuan City and the new residents who fled from Shandong quickly became accustomed to the hygiene management regulations.

There are old ladies with red armbands on their arms on the streets of Ningyuan City, their physical strength is limited, and the remuneration they get is only one pound of white noodles a day.

The old ladies not only clean the streets in time but also catch the violators of the health regulations, and under normal circumstances, no one dares to resist the old lady to enforce the law, because if the action is bigger, the old lady will get into big trouble.

Environmental sanitation depends on everyone, and Ningyuan's management has been effective, and all the soldiers and civilians have gradually become accustomed to cleanliness and began to take the initiative to abide by the health regulations.
