Chapter 942: Ice and Fire
The reason is very simple: the road to Beijing through which the "King of Han" passed through the areas actually controlled by the "Red Banner Army".
Too many prefectures, prefectures, prefectures, and counties have been enforcing the "Han Wang" law for many years, and the law and order are good, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and their economic level is improving day by day, and most of them are die-hard supporters of the "Han King."
In the spring, when the inner city of Kyoto and "Hamburg" began to be overhauled, residents, farmers, and craftsmen in and around the capital were deliberately recruited to work.
Mobilizing 80,000 male and female laborers, they took care of two meals a day, two or two meals a day, and ensured that each person received four taels of white flour cooking cakes, white rice porridge, and some meat such as poultry eggs, large meatballs, and canned sea fish.
Over the past few months, many of the laborers who have vegetables have grown stronger.
On average, one or two silver coins were paid to the laborers involved in the construction, benefiting more than 50,000 families.
Not counting the cost of materials and food, more than one million silver coins were distributed in a single salary, and the direct result was that the destitute people in the city and suburbs of the capital were basically wiped out, making them full of hope for life.
In Huang Han's eyes, the Ming Dynasty is still an agricultural country with an extreme lack of industrial base, and vigorously developing industry is the only way to enrich the country and strengthen the army.
In the coming decades, the investment will be huge, and there will be many jobs that can be created.
It is not only about mobilizing government-invested projects to benefit the people, increasing infrastructure construction, and building water conservancy.
Heavy industry, light industry, and mining industries should be greatly developed, and the scale of production should be expanded in coal, iron, and stone mines, iron and steel plants, vehicle factories, shipbuilding machinery factories, yarn factories, weaving factories, towel factories, and so on.
The reason why some people are poor is that they don't know how to change, but after participating in collective labor this time, they have experienced the benefits of getting monthly money with a full stomach, and there are many people who are willing to change their original lifestyle and work in factories.
Everyone said that "King Han" was good, and sure enough, when Huang Han came to Guangqu Gate, he took the initiative to greet 200,000 soldiers and civilians with a grateful heart, "Long live 'King Han'!" Hooray! The cry of the mountain resounded in the sky.
It is possible that the head shouting "Long live the King of Han" may not be ordinary people, it should be the flag guards arranged by Huang Sifang, Li Sanniang, etc., but the thousands of responders are not an illusion.
The two heavens of ice and fire are completely different from the heat outside the Guangqu Gate, the Forbidden City is lifeless, and the eunuchs and palace maids know that the emperor is in a bad mood, and they are cautious one by one, and they don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.
The news that the "King of Han" came to the Guangqu Gate Dongchang and Jinyiwei would of course truthfully return to the emperor, but Chongzhen was helpless, and he had to go around in the imperial study, anxious like ants on a hot pot.
The construction of "Hamburg" has been completed, and there is no need for 100,000 soldiers to be stationed in it, and the permanent presence of a battalion of A and three thousand garrisons is enough to deal with emergencies.
Huang Han did not stay in "Hamburg" but entered the inner city to live in the "Han Wang" mansion, to be honest, after the palace was built, Huang Han never saw it, let alone moved in.
"Hamburg" has schools, hospitals, commercial streets, yamen, city god temples, Taoist temples, monasteries, barracks and other supporting facilities.
Many small buildings with separate courtyards were also built, similar to the small villas of later generations, and some of these mansions with bathrooms and running water were given to meritorious soldiers as a reward, and some were sold publicly, and the highest price was obtained.
The news that there are good houses for sale in the city of "Hamburg" was released as early as June and July, and there are countless dignitaries and wealthy businessmen who have visited and visited the houses in the past two months.
In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that with such a strong castle and the long-term garrison of the "Red Banner Army", it must be impregnable, and there are not many people who pay a deposit to sign the contract for the purchase of a house.
Before the conditions for delivery were met, the houses for sale in "Hamburg" were sold out.
On the first day that Huang Han entered the outer city of Beijing, the gates of the inner and outer cities of Beijing were officially taken over by the "Red Banner Army".
There was no bloody conflict, the original Ming defenders were very cooperative, and Du Le Zizi was waiting for the "Han King" to be absorbed, even if there were a few generals who did not turn their brains to resist, it was to no avail, and the soldiers under his command did not listen to the command at all.
At the end of last year and in the spring and summer of this year, 30,000 horses came to Beijing one after another, and this time they led 100,000 soldiers to return.
Huang Han only left the personal guard battalion and the battalion directly under Hanzi and Yang Danian, plus the guards of the city that never sleeped and the garrison of "Hamburg" that were expanded again, the number reached more than 30,000, and the rest of the men and horses were divided into five routes to the Yellow River defense line.
The elite of the Beijing camp is in the Yellow River defense line, and the quality of the Beijing camp soldiers stationed in the capital, including the surrounding areas, is unsatisfactory.
Even so, the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" still selected 20,000 young men who looked relatively strong, and gave them twelve silver coins and six stones of wheat as a settling-in allowance, and let them go south together as auxiliaries.
I know that I will not suffer a loss if I follow the "Red Flag Army", and I know even more that the "Red Flag Army" is invincible.
Some of the young and middle-aged people even thought that they had finally waited for the opportunity, hoping to become regular soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" and be promoted to glory to their ancestors.
In the past two years, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other rogues have had a good life.
They have been fruitful in Tuntian, Shaanxi and Henan, and now they think that they are strong and strong, and the leaders have long been dissatisfied with contacting each other through Shangluo Mountain, and Tongguan has become a thorn in their side.
Nominally, the "Red Flag Army" assisted in the defense of Yunyang, but in fact, it was the main player and had long become the issuing order of more than a dozen prefectures and counties in Yunyang's jurisdiction.
Knowing that without the "Red Banner Army" Yunyang would definitely not be able to hold it, the governor Miao Yantu's position was very obedient, and Ma Fulin did not deliberately embarrass him.
Tongguan was actually controlled by the "Red Banner Army," and if it was to defend the Shangluo Mountains again, it would certainly be able to sever the connection between Shaanxi and Henan.
The rogue is not a fool, nor is he a papier-mâché, and of course he can't stand it.
In the 12th year of Chongzhen's reign, the primary task was to level Liao, and a large number of inland "Red Banner Army" were drawn out of the customs to participate in the war.
Therefore, Ma Fulin only guarded Yunyang and blocked the scourge of the Liukou to the south and east, and did not go to the Shangluo Mountain in the northwest direction at all, and sat back and watched the Liukou from Shaanxi and Henan to come and go through Shangluo Mountain.
Since the "King of Han" called for the elimination of Jiannu as the primary task, the inland battalion should send cavalry out of the customs as much as possible to participate in the war, and Ma Fulin, He Yongqing, Huang Huiwu, Gu Rushan, Zhao Kun, Wang Ying, and so on naturally responded positively.
The inland generals basically did their best, leaving only a small number of cavalry in the battalion who had to meet the requirements of the investigation and convey orders, and the rest of the men and horses went out for training, and finally participated in the Battle of Pingliao.
In the final analysis, cavalry is difficult to train, even a cavalry maniac like He Yongqing is helpless in the face of new recruits, so there is no shortage of other arms in the inland battalion, and the shortage of cavalry is serious.
He Yongqing and Huang Huiwukeng, who were stationed in Tongguan, were abducted and stolen, and the two of them even took the risk of taking only a dozen cavalrymen to lead their horses to climb the mountains and wade into the Shangluo Mountains to find the cavalry of the former Ming army who were scattered and scattered.
The hard work paid off, nearly two years have passed, He Yongqing has formed a cavalry thousand generals, but only one general has riding skills, and the other two generals can only do the transfer of horses and dismount to fight.
