Chapter 500: There are thousands of mansions in Ande
This is also Huang Han's deliberate letting go of cultivating this henchman, giving Gu Rushan the opportunity to lead more than 400 people to garrison a place, and if he can, he can leave a part of the strong men for training, and be ready to take root here for a year or two.
There is no need to worry about the lack of weapons, the cost of the ash pole spear is only three coins and how much silver it costs, but the distribution of bird guns needs to be cautious, and those who have not completed basic training, have not passed the ideological investigation, and have not gone to western Liaoning are basically not considered.
With a large number of displaced people from Henan sent to Guanwai, nearly 10,000 people will be transferred out, resulting in a possible shortage of labor and affecting the autumn harvest, and this year there should be a lot of rich labor force to participate in the construction of water conservancy facilities and roads.
After all, spring ploughing has been missed, and there is no hope of increasing tuntian this year, so we can only lay a good foundation for next year's tuntian.
In recent years, the relatively arid Shanhaiguan and Yongpingfu areas have been abnormal this year, and there is basically no heavy rain in the spring, but this season is heavy rain this year, and the central area is actually Tiger's Den City within a radius of 80 miles.
The original history recorded Chongzhen six years "Shanhaiguan, Yongping heavy rain, water damage to the city, field houses, people and animals died no count." ”
Since Huang Han has been running the place for three years, a large number of reservoirs and ditches have been built, and the water supply and drainage system has been improved day by day.
And because the houses in Tiger's Den City are mostly brick and concrete structures, they are not afraid of heavy rain at all, which does not cause much damage, but leads to dozens of large and small reservoirs that have never been filled with water to get the opportunity to fill up.
Why did natural disasters continue in ancient times? In the final analysis, the people's ability to resist disasters is too weak, and a gust of wind on the earthen wall and thatched roof may cause the roof to be blown away.
It was because the roof of Du Fu's family was blown away by the strong wind that they wrote the popular poem: "There are thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy!" The wind and rain do not move, and it is as safe as a mountain. ”
In fact, the strong wind did not cause too many disasters, mainly because the thatched hut of Du Fu's family was too dilapidated to be affected.
In the Ming Dynasty, people who were poorer than Du Fu abounded, and the three days of heavy rain in history caused thousands of houses with earthen walls and thatched roofs in the area of Shanhaiguan and Yongping Mansion to be poured out of water, causing many people to be displaced.
On the contrary, the increased capacity of the reservoir not only has the potential to cope with drought, but also makes hydraulic machinery such as hydraulic hammers and flour grinders full of strength and productivity.
There is also a huge benefit, if the land is flooded at one time, a large number of locust eggs will be drowned, and it is impossible to encounter a locust plague within three years.
The historical rogues did not reach Boye County in two or three years, and now with Huang Han leading the "Red Banner Army" to kill them all the way, it is even more impossible for a large group of rogues to attack the supply ground arranged in Sun Liuzhuang.
If two or three thousand Liukou come, Sun Liuzhuang can defend it by relying on his own armed forces.
The task given to Gu Rushan is not to wait in Sun Liuzhuang every day to waste time, but to pacify the bandits and bandits within a radius of 50 miles based on this place, and expand the influence of the "Red Banner Army".
Attracting more people from the vicinity to bring their families to the sea to settle land and work outside the customs should also provide a relatively safe environment for nearby farmers so that they can farm with confidence.
At that time, it is necessary to guide the peasants to replant potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fields where the wheat seedlings have been destroyed, so as to be able to harvest more rations for survival after autumn.
In fact, the reason why Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Wang Ziyong, Zhang Xianzhong and others are called rogues is because they are running around committing crimes, and a few days ago, a group of thieves who burned and looted in Shanxi rushed out of the Taihang Mountains and poured into the suburbs of Beijing and occupied the west mountain in Lincheng.
Lu Xiangsheng was shocked into a cold sweat, and immediately led the men and horses who could organize to intercept and kill the thieves who were bold and reckless all the way, and now it is estimated that he is not far from the capital.
The emperor was not too nervous after receiving the news of the Liukou's invasion of Xishan, and he did not even issue the holy decree of martial law in Beijing.
He sent the men and horses of the Beijing camp to kill the thieves by the Fangzhenghua Supervision Army, and the emperor knew that only 20,000 or 30,000 thieves could not attack the Beijing division at all, so he did not summon the "Red Banner Army" that had already set off to return.
Fang Zhenghua led the Beijing camp to fight the Liukou with full confidence, because of the great achievements made in Denglai, many of the soldiers who participated in the Beijing camp have been promoted, the soldiers have been trained, and now the morale of the combat force is high.
The three guerrilla generals Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, and Sun Yingyuan were even more earnest, and with these three good generals in the Beijing camp, it is estimated that the life of the rogues who have escaped into the West Mountain will not be easy.
Liukou took advantage of the advantage of light equipment and relied on the Taihang Mountain to march on the mountain road, of course, they took the mountain road, and found that there was an opportunity to attack the town, rushed down the mountain to catch a handful and then went up the mountain, they did not dare to stay in the plain close to the Beijing Division, for fear of being discovered by the cavalry and cut off the way back.
Lu Xiangsheng, who followed the pursuit, was not afraid of hardship and tiredness, and also led the Tianxiong army to chase over the mountains and mountains, and the speed of attack was slow due to the non-stop fighting.
Huang Han is to show more to the people of the Ming Dynasty a different strong army, so he walked the Great Plains and chose a densely populated area.
The starting point was different and the purpose was different, so Huang Han was unable to meet Lu Xiangsheng, the Tianxiong Army went north, and the "Red Flag Army" went south, and the distance between the two armies became larger and larger.
It was impossible for Huang Han to lead the main force to delay in Sun Liuzhuang, and he set out on the road again early the next morning.
At this time, Wang Jiayin, the leader of the Liukou, had been killed by the Ming army, and this person was not very famous, but this kid was the godfather of the rebellion, and at that time, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Wang Ziyong, and other later rebel giants were all his horses.
His younger brother Wang Jiayun and his brother Wang Ziyong, who is known as Zijin Liang, still have a lot of people under his command, and they still do the great cause of rebellion.
Wang Jiayun and Wang Ziyong and other thieves burned and looted in Shanxi, and fought many times with the official army, winning and losing each other, and rushed out of Taihang Mountain to kill in the direction of Guangping Mansion and Zhangde Mansion.
Last year, when Zuo Liangyu, the deputy general of Changping who quelled the rebellion in Henan, may not have come to his time, it is also possible that he is not bad enough at this time, and he always suffers defeats, and there are less than 3,000 men and horses in his hands.
Because of the repeated defeats of Henan's suppression of the Kou, the Ming Dynasty defeated the guerrilla Yue Loyalty, Yang Yuchun and the general Tao Xiqian lost several thousands of official troops, which made the rogue army that captured many of the Ming official army standard weapons grow stronger and stronger.
Henan was so erosive, the governor Fan Shang was difficult to pass the blame, he was dismissed from office and replaced by Taichang Shaoqing Yuan Mo, and the imperial court quickly transferred Deng Xi and Zhang Fengyi to lead people to reinforce Henan.
The chief military officer Deng Xi had 6,000 Sichuan soldiers in his hands, and the staff general Zhang Fengyi led 2,000 white pole soldiers.
Because he began to realize that two or three thousand Changping soldiers were the capital of his life, and he must not lose his old capital.
