Chongzhen heard the words, knowing that Huang Han should have some troops that could maneuver on the premise of holding the two defense lines, he was happy in his heart, and nodded:

"It is really good to unify the command, so that the battalions deployed in the two places can support each other, Dongnu does not have a naval division is their weakness, and Ningyuan and Jinzhou are indeed the advantage of our army by the sea.

I wonder if Aiqing has accumulated some strength now? Can these horses be pulled out to train the soldiers? ”

The emperor was really ready to send himself to lead a part of his men into the interior to fight the rogues, even if Huang Han was not interested in the civil war, he had to go.

The "Red Banner Army" is well-known in the land and border passes of Gyeonggi, and should have little influence in the interior.

This march of several thousand miles can be completely used for propaganda, so that the common people can see a different strong army.

Chongzhen has a good young memory, and he is willing to study, at least he has Huang Han's remarks on training soldiers in battle in his heart, and at this time, for this reason, in a negotiated tone, he transferred some "Red Flag Army" to the interior to suppress bandits, and if Huang Han refused, it would be shameless.

Huang Han, who was familiar with current affairs, replied affirmatively: "Your Majesty, training soldiers in battle is indeed very efficient, and the recruits on the training ground cannot be called warriors at all if they have never seen blood, and only those who have killed the enemy on the battlefield can become strong."

At present, the 'Red Banner Army' has several thousand recruits who have not been recruited for a long time, and it is possible to pull them to the battlefield to try their skills. ”

Chongzhen was overjoyed and said: "Great, why don't Aiqing bring thousands of people into Henan to suppress the Kou, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for those rogue robbers to meet these recruits just so that they can be tempered?" ”

It turned out to be going to Henan, it is possible that Chongzhen thought that Henan had just been infected by the Liukou, and at this time it could be curbed to avoid greater losses, and many state capitals were still operating, and they should have the ability to provide food and grass for the army.

Henan is a province with a large population, and it is also a poor province that often suffers from natural disasters, and it is absolutely not a problem to go there to get hundreds of thousands of people.

Huang Han said: "The 'Red Banner Army' should be loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and the imperial court needs to go to both water and fire, and it is natural to enter the south of Shanxi and Henan to suppress Kou."

It's just that there is no grain in the interior, and logistical supply is extremely difficult, so in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from plundering the common people in the face of starvation, it is necessary to organize the transportation of a large amount of grain and grass.

With the quota of the 'Red Banner Army', I am afraid that the dispatch of one soldier will require two civilian men or the guard army to transport military supplies and grain and grass, I wonder how many 'Red Banner Army' Your Majesty is going to transfer into the interior? ”

The western Liaoning corridor and the Jinzhou Peninsula must not only be firmly defended, but also constantly expanded and encroached on.

The opponent is the most powerful and savage cold-weapon cavalry in the world in this era, and it needs to be treated carefully, with the strength in front of it, it is impossible for the "Red Banner Army" to have too many horses and invest too much energy in the civil war.

Huang Han did not make his own decisions about how many troops to send, but told the emperor to use the "Red Banner Army" to participate in the war, and let him take care of it.

The emperor paid attention to the development of the "Red Banner Army", and repeatedly asked Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian about Huang Han's method of leading troops, and the answers he got always made the emperor feel incredible.

Looking at the border army with the highest salary in the Ming Dynasty, there is no one who can guarantee that ordinary battalion soldiers can eat three full meals and no less than two taels of meat every day, and it is impossible to have military uniforms and even underwear and combat boots every year.

Chongzhen admits that the soldiers with good treatment have strong combat effectiveness and high loyalty, and he also knows that too much of the silver that Huang Han got was spent on the army, but where can the court afford to use soldiers like this?

Now Huang Han is about the same as promising to lead troops to fight the rogues, but it just shows that when a regular soldier is dispatched, two civilian men or auxiliary soldiers must be matched.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty's method of opening China was a method implemented by the government to use salt and tea as intermediaries to recruit merchants to pay for military rations, horses and other materials.

However, it was difficult to continue by the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the crux of the problem was that in the case of food shortages and small people who could not survive, it was still the collusion of officials and businessmen to be greedy.

If the military supplies were handed over to the merchants, it was likely that the army would be scattered due to starvation.

Therefore, Huang Han emphasized that when the "Red Banner Army" entered the interior to participate in the war, it was necessary to negotiate the supply of grain and grass in advance, and made it clear that the dispatch of 4,000 men and horses must be matched with double the number of people, and it was understandable.

Chongzhen thought about it, his purpose was to let Huang Han leave Liaodong for a while, and there was no need to ask him to bring too many people into the customs.

Moreover, after pacifying the Denglai rebels, one of the Guanning troops in the Guannei had already gone to Shanxi to participate in the suppression of the Kou, as well as Deng Xi, Chen Hongfan and other chief military officers.

He pondered for a long time and said, "Is it difficult for Aiqing to transfer 4,000 men and horses to Henan to suppress the Kou?" ”

Huang Han didn't hesitate at all, and said: "The minister obeys the order, but the minister is worried that the supply of grain and grass by the imperial court will be ripped off. ”

Chongzhen was very unhappy when he heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said: "I know, and I will issue an order that the Henan Prefecture must not be short of Aiqing's grain and grass." ”

Huang Han wanted this sentence, how difficult it is to transport grain for thousands of miles, to be able to solve the military rations of 10,000 horses on the spot, and to use these grains to make porridge can prevent 40,000 or 50,000 displaced people from starving to death, as long as these people can go to Funing under the command of the "Red Banner Army", it will be a victory.

How important food and military supplies are, Huang Han can't rest assured that such a big thing is pinned on Henan officials, so he will carry food with the army to the maximum.

The Sifang Express should also actively organize transportation, and within the 200 miles that the "Red Banner Army" has passed, it must establish a grain hoarding ground as a supply point, and you can choose the county seat, the state capital, or a strong fortress armed by the landlords.

Due to the frequent natural disasters and military disasters in Henan, there are many local heroes and strongmen who have formed villages to protect themselves, and some of the clans' armed fortresses are comparable to cities, which have existed for a long time when the Wuhu was chaotic.

This is also the reason why the thieves and thieves are always hungry and do not die.

The rogues will always be able to find a fortress that has hoarded a lot of food to attack, and if they kill a fortress, they will get the food that lasts for their lives, and they will be replenished with weapons and armor, and they will also force the looted people to be their cannon fodder to attack the next target in order to survive.

Huang Han was ready to adopt the method of eating good apples first, and found that the small scale of the local Haoqiang cottages and dungeon forts adopted the method of first persuading surrender and then attacking, and the first strike was strong.

lest the food be cheaper, lest the common people become homeless and then participate in the killing and become a mob, and it will be difficult for them to cultivate and work with peace of mind.

To solve the big problem of the repeated extermination of the Liukou in the late Ming Dynasty, it is not at all that the officers and soldiers can be successfully dispatched to fight and kill.

Huang Han believed that under the situation of uninterrupted natural and man-made disasters and blatant bureaucratic corruption, even killing thieves and offering thieves would be useless, and it would naturally be Wang Zicheng and Ma Xianzhong and others to stand out.
