A large number of ingenious Han women participated in knitting sweaters, and many of them were trying to send warmth to their sons, husbands, and brothers, and there was no doubt about the degree of care.

Doing things with heart, taking the initiative to do things, and knitting sweaters with love have naturally developed many practical weaving methods and new styles of sweaters.

In winter, a thick all-wool sweater is worn over the cotton underwear, and then a duck down jacket is put on, and then a winter mandarin duck jacket is added, so that the clothes look not too bloated but very warm, and the soldiers don't care about the severe cold of more than ten degrees below zero.

Nowadays, it is popular for regular soldiers to have a sweater to protect them from the cold, so women spinning wool and knitting sweaters abound.

There can be shorts and undershirts in the military uniforms distributed, but there are no sweaters, and the same is true for the army in later generations, although the sweater industry has less large purchases from the army, but due to the introduction of market competition mechanism, the comfort and style are constantly updated, and the improvement of quality is also incomparable.

Labor creates wealth, and it is believed that these hard-working immigrants will be able to get out of poverty and become well-off in a short time if they get jobs that can earn them for their labor.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Huang Han came to Shanhaiguan to meet Liaodong Jingxiao Gaodi, of course, he had to bring a generous gift.

The eldest brother-in-law Qin Yiming and Ma Xianglin have not returned to Sichuan at this time, and they happen to get together together, and they will embark on the journey back to Sichuan next autumn in history.

The white pole soldiers simply fought all the way back, and in the seventh year of Chongzhen, they also happened to catch up with Qin Liangyu to participate in a big battle to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong, several big leaders of the rogue were killed, and the thieves lost all the infantry and only fled in a hurry with a few hundred cavalry from the old battalion.

But since then, the white pole soldiers have fallen into the quagmire of civil war until the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and the final outcome is that Ma Xianglin insisted on Xiangyang alone, and died generously after the city was broken.

Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi are both heroes of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately they did not die well, they both died in the civil war.

The key is that the last Ming Dynasty is too suitable for breeding rogues, and Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin, Qin Yiming, Zhang Fengyi and other white-pole generals will only get weaker and weaker in the environment of food shortage and material shortage.

Because they can't rob the common people like the "thief general" Zuo Liangyu, and coerce the good people is three points more vicious than the rogue bandits.

When Huang Han returned from the Wa Kingdom, he brought back dozens of armed merchant ships of pirates and maritime merchants, and more than 20 professional commercial old lock ships with a displacement of four or five hundred tons were built and launched in the system.

Coupled with the original merchant ships, the transportation capacity is only to transport grain for the imperial court's business.

It is urgent to develop private transportation, increase income, train sailors, and invigorate trade, so Huang Han established the "Sun and Moon Shipping", and now has dozens of small ships with a displacement of 40 to 100 tons that can pass through Nantong Prefecture and go up the river to Shizhu.

I don't know if the imperial court will arrange tasks when the white pole soldiers return to Sichuan, if there is no such arrangement, Huang Han can persuade Ma Xianglin and Qin Yiming to take advantage of the convenience of Jianghai combined transportation to return to Shizhu.

The waterway from Shanhaiguan to Shizhu is less than 2,000 nautical miles, and with an average speed of three knots day and night, it can sail 70 nautical miles in a day, minus the weather that is not conducive to navigation, and theoretically it will be able to reach the destination in about a month.

Counting the need to pull fiber through the Three Gorges, the fiber pulling speed can only reach more than one section, and forty days along the river is enough.

But if you go down the river, you can have the sour coolness of "having a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day", and it may not take a month to reach Shanhaiguan.

Qin Liangyu led the white pole soldier Qin Wang after receiving the order in the second year of Chongzhen, and walked for half a year to reach the Beijing Division, which cost a lot of hard work along the way, and hundreds of people were injured and sick.

In this era, it is simply a tyrannical thing to make good use of the Yangtze River waterway, because in the age of sailing, long-distance travel by boat is the most efficient and comfortable, and the cost is at least seventy percent less than taking the land route.

At the banquet of Liaodong Jinglu, Lao Gaodi really talked about the white pole soldier Chongzhen who went out of Sichuan for three years to enter the king of Beizhili Qin, and it has been three years now.

Therefore, he agreed to Ma Xianglin and Qin Yiming's request, and the white pole soldiers were now waiting for the holy decree to return to Sichuan.

It's just that the 7,000 men and horses in Shanhaiguan are bound to be empty, and the next military department does not know which way to send men and horses to replace the white pole soldiers, so Gao Di is worried.

The old man knew the virtues of the Ming army very well, and the seven thousand white pole soldiers were loyal and brave, and because they were mostly infantry, they did not spend much on food and salary.

If other battalion leaders come to Shanhaiguan, 15,000 men and horses will not be able to reach the combat effectiveness of 7,000 white pole soldiers, and maybe they will be lax in discipline and excessive.

The last Ming Dynasty often had soldiers who were paid, and even if Gao Di didn't think about being greedy for military salaries in Liaodong, there was no guarantee that the imperial court would have the ability to pay them on time.

Gao Di was worried that if he changed the army, those soldiers and ruffians would be indiscriminately smashed and looted and burned if they were slightly bewitched, and both clean officials and corrupt officials would end up in the same way - dead officials.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Bi Zisu of Guan Ning, the right governor of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, who was not greedy for ink for a tael of silver, was wronged? This big man with good character and reputation committed suicide in humiliation and anger by the rebels, and this ending must be guarded against.

After drinking three times, Gao Di took the initiative to say: "This official can sit in Shanhaiguan safely, and the "Red Flag Army" and the white pole soldiers are also.

Now the two generals Ma and Qin will soon lead the army back to Sichuan, and the official has no more to rely on in Shanhaiguan, and General Huang has a lot of talents, I don't know if I can send a battalion of men and horses to be stationed in Shanhaiguan? ”

Huang Han smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency takes a fancy to the 'Red Flag Army', and the lower officials are flattered, but the imperial court is afraid that it is impossible for the imperial court to send the 'Red Flag Army' into Shanhaiguan to garrison." ”

It was Huang Han's plan to get involved in Shanhaiguan, and it stands to reason that at this time, Liaodong Jingluo took the initiative to speak, and he should have drowsy and sent a pillow!

In fact, it may not be the case, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, Lao Gao's first opening of the "Red Flag Army" took advantage of the situation to enter Shanhaiguan, what should the military department think? What will the emperor think?

After listening to Huang Han's words, Gao Di knew in his heart, he was old, and he thought that he would not have a few years to live, and he was not afraid of Huang Han's strength at all.

On the contrary, for the sake of the descendants of the Gao family, he hopes that the "Red Flag Army" is so strong that no one can shake it.

Most of the children of the Gao family have served in the army, and many of the clansmen have settled down in Tiger's Den City to do business.

Gao Di has been up and down for decades, and his methods are very old-fashioned, he smiled:

"This official is cheeky today to ask General Huang to cut his love, this official looked at Yang Dalang, the deputy general of Xuzhen who was stunned by the left wing of Karaqin, and this official decided to promote him to the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, I don't know if General Huang is willing to give face?"

This chief military officer is not a false award, but is ready to give a real award, and when Wu Sangui surrendered to Jiannu in history, he was not the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan at all, but the general soldier of Pingxibo and Liaodong regiments.
