Ningyuan City is backed by the hills of western Liaoning, facing the Liaohai Sea in the south, and is located in the throat of the middle of the western Liaoning corridor, and is the main transportation road leading to the Central Plains in eastern Liaoning.

The circumference of this square city is seven miles, a little larger than Jinzhou Wei, the city wall is two zhang seven feet high, there are four city gates, namely Dongchun and Gate, South Yanhui Gate, West Yongning Gate, North Weiyuan Gate.

Outside the city gate, a semicircular urn was built, and the four corners of the city wall were built with strong forts for erecting heavy Hongyi cannons.

The Ningyuan city wall is made of blue strip stone as the foundation, the outer standard city wall is made of large blue bricks, the inner wall is a huge stone, and the middle is a rammed earth layer. There are two floors of pavilions and corridor-type arrow towers on the city, and the inner walls of the city have slope-shaped horse paths, and the cavalry can directly drive the horses to the city.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, this city and Shanhaiguan were not captured by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the current Later Jin Dynasty, but were a great gift to Jiannu when Wu Sangui surrendered.

Now that Huang Han has won this city, it is even more unlikely that it will be captured by the Later Jin army, because it has the unique condition of being close to the sea.

Ningyuan was surrounded, and all the warships of the "Red Banner Army" could come to reinforce it, and at that time, the heavy Hongyi artillery could hit seven or eight miles away with shells at the maximum elevation angle, and the firearms infantry landed on the shore and used artillery fire to open the way, and it was not difficult to enter Ningyuan City, which was more than ten miles away.

Moreover, Ningyuan Wharf is less than fifteen miles away from Chunhe Gate, and the artillery fire at the head of the city is also fired at the maximum elevation angle, and the impact surface and the superposition of warship artillery can almost cover the distance from the east gate to the harbor.

Huang Han played more out of line this time, offending many civil officials and military generals who wanted to run Ningyuan, and manage the fertile soil of the 200-mile Liaoxi Corridor from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan.

When the excluded Ning Yuan general Zuo Lin boarded the ship, Huang Han told everyone that if they did not adapt to Ning Yuan's new mode of leading troops, the generals could ask to be transferred.

As long as the imperial court order is issued, the generals can immediately end their studies and go to work, and they will not be banned from correspondence during the study period.

Hearing these words of Huang Han, twenty or thirty generals, including deputy generals Jin Guochen and He Weizhong, staff generals Zhang Tao and Wang Zhifu, and guerrilla Bai Yongfu, shouted their thanks and said that they would contact them as soon as possible and strive to leave Ningyuan as soon as possible.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was common for civil officials to form parties and run private businesses, how could military attachés stay out of the matter, and they also took refuge in the civil officials.

Therefore, some generals did belong to the DPRK, and they sent their family members to contact the above to complain, talking about Huang Han's violation of the rules of officialdom.

The officials in the imperial court could not change the "Red Banner Army's" involvement in Ningyuan, nor could they restrain Huang Han's action of inspecting Ning Yuan's soldiers and horses to pay food and salary according to the actual number of soldiers.

Because the whip was beyond the reach of the emperor and because the emperor was eager to rectify the soldiers and horses of the whole country, he was full of expectations for Huang Han's reform in Ningyuan.

In the case that Ning Yuan did not make a mess, the minister who dared to play this book to stop this reform was purely cocooning.

In the end, the decision of the court bosses is that we can't afford to hide, the battalion soldiers are the people of the court, whoever brings it is the same, as long as they are willing to let go home, the military generals will change places to go to work, and they can also pull up the people.

Soon a small half of the class remained, because a small half of the generals were transferred.

Isn't that right? A small number of generals were transferred, and it stands to reason that there should be more than half of the people in the study class, why is there a small half left?

That's because the people who can find connections and transfer away are generals with a way, and under normal circumstances, these people are also rich and powerful, and they have been accompanied by four henchmen, so one is five people.

Most of the remaining generals in the study class were not of high grade, and some of them did not have four family members in total, and the military salaries they could deduct in normal times were also limited.

Now life is simple, the food is even better than what they usually eat, and they basically have no opinion on practicing literature and martial arts here.

It would be even better if it weren't for the brainwashing of instructors every day to indoctrinate some remarks, these martial artists are not afraid of hardship, tiredness, afraid of being nagged every day, even more afraid of analyzing themselves every day, and even more afraid of criticism and self-criticism.

Huang Han played a one-handed punishment, so that the remaining Ning Yuan military attachés in the study class lived every day like a year, and they all wanted to end this kind of study as soon as possible, and mechanically obeyed the instructor's instructions one by one, hoping to return to the original army after being judged to be qualified.

They would rather ride on horseback and kill on the battlefield than engage in any kind of criticism and self-criticism, which is too torturous and immoral.

At this time, Huang Yizhou and Huang Han were seizing the time to integrate the troops, and Ning Yuan did not have as many men and horses as the thirteenth battalion now, except for more than 2,000 Guan Ning iron cavalry stationed in Ningyuan in the first month of the month to enter the pass to participate in Denglai to quell the rebellion, Ning Yuan had more than 18,000 men and horses on paper.

After checking that the shortage is not very serious, there are 12,000 horses, and because more than 2,000 cavalry have been transferred, the proportion of cavalry now does not reach 30%, and only 2,000 are hanging zero.

After three days of arraying, running, drilling, and standing in a military posture, the old and weak soldiers were basically unable to adapt to the intensity of the regular training of the "Red Banner Army." Soon the phenomenon came to pass, and in addition to those who had one skill, 5,000 were laid off.

A skill includes a gunner and gunners with shooting talents, and it also covers technical gunners and loaders.

Huang Han did not let the eliminated veterans who had no skills go freely, and his hometown in the customs did not let them go back to their hometowns, but all of them were accepted as guards.

The hometown of these veterans is not a good place, in fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was basically no royal paradise, unless it was slightly better to go to Nanzhili at this time.

However, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south, Yangzhou, which was rich in the world, could not avoid the massacre, 800,000 people died in the 10-day massacre in Yangzhou, and the 3rd massacre in Jiading and the 81st day of Jiangyin all occurred in the south of the splendid Jiangnan.

Nanzhili is the main source of taxes in the Ming Dynasty, where even the vassal king does not exist in order to ensure the taxes of the imperial court, and the conscription of battalion soldiers basically does not go there, so it is impossible for the common people of Nanzhili to come to the outside of the border as battalion soldiers.

The old and weak soldiers who have been laid off may not be from Shanxi, Henan, or Shandong, where there are troubles and rebels, and these people basically have no way to survive when they go back.

Because when the homeless people will starve to death nine times out of ten, when the homeless basically no one laughs to the end, it is a dead end, and the chance of being an official and soldier to survive is slim.

There are countless officers and soldiers in the interior who have been killed by rebels and rogues, and there are no known number of commanders and guerrilla generals who have been killed, and even the fierce general Cao Wenzhao did not live to live past the eight years of Chongzhen.

In fact, Cao Wenzhao's bravery is because the enemy is a rogue who has not yet become a climate, so every time Cao Wenzhao charges with iron cavalry, he can beat thousands of rogue bandits with a thousand cavalry.
