Chapter 382: Another 200 miles
All the civilian and military generals who participated in the war in southern Liaoning were promoted by at least one or two levels, and there were not so many actual awards, and most of them remained unchanged in their positions.
Therefore, many of the "Red Banner Army" have always possessed the rank of second-rank and second-rank general, and more than a dozen civilian officers in the army have obtained the official status of the nine-rank master book.
Although the imperial court was in financial crisis, it gritted its teeth and gave the beheading silver of the great victory in southern Liaoning, and the military department and the household department were very harsh when they were verified, and only recognized the number of beheadings of young and middle-aged real slaves and bannermen, and the too young and old were deducted, even so, the total amount was as much as 200,000 taels of silver.
Prince Taibao, Dongping Marquis, Pingliao General, Wu Jingluo, Zuo Du Governor, and Huang Hanshi, the special Ronglu doctor, gave the general military officer of Xuzhen to garrison Jinzhou Wei, don't look at the title It seems boring, but it's not.
Huang Han's salary is incomparable in the Ming Dynasty, and he is about to catch up with the nobles of the level of Guogong, which is a unique existence, because every void means a treatment.
Originally, the Hou Ye's Yu Lu was very high, 1,200 stone of rice per year, plus the crown prince Taibao, General Pingliao, Wu Jingluo, the chief military officer, and the corresponding Wu Sanjie of Yu Zhengyipin, etc., all added up, Huang Han was able to get more than 3,000 stone of grain a year.
If you are satisfied with food, the food that the imperial court should give alone can feed more than a thousand people, and there is a lot of discounted silver in the money.
It has been nearly two months since Jinzhou City was captured, and there are seven or eight thousand young and middle-aged men and women among the original Liao people who stayed here to work in the settlement, and there are also five or six thousand people living in Wolf's Den Fort and Lushunkou.
At present, the total population of the Ming control area in southern Liaoning has more than 30,000, and this number is still increasing, because there is an endless stream of Han people who do not want to hide in the mountains and forests for slaves.
Due to the delivery of a large number of honeycomb coal stoves and high-quality honeycomb coal, this winter, Jinzhou City is really not cold.
The industrious Han people have used this time to clean up Jinzhou, and there is no snow on the streets and alleys.
The broken houses have also been cleaned up with bright windows, and at the end of the year, they have pasted the big red blessing characters, couplets, and window grilles, making people forget that the corpses were everywhere.
There are already seven or eight old lock ships with pulp in Huxue Port to undertake the task of passenger transportation, and there are daily shuttle ships to and from Jinzhou, Lushunkou and Tianjin Wei without encountering bad weather.
Due to the spread of the war in Denglai, the Denglai route was not opened for the time being, but more and more people fled Shandong by boat, and each time Huang's cargo ships would carry many war refugees.
There are more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians in the Ming control area in southern Liaoning, and the garrison has a monthly salary and consumption power, and the Han merchants have never been afraid of danger for profit.
It is also because you can arrive early the next day by taking a sea boat from Tiger's Nest City to Jinzhou, and the price of ferry tickets and cargo shipping fees is not expensive, resulting in many merchants staying in Jinzhou and Lushunkou City.
In order to strengthen circulation, the passenger ships put into operation by Huang Han accounted for the cost, so the ferry tickets were cheap, and an adult could take a passenger ship with a sailing time of about a day and a half to reach Jinzhou for 200 yuan, and the overweight salute was also quite cheap, which was conducive to small merchants and hawkers to do business.
The situation in Golden State has just opened, so far no businessmen dare to buy property here, and most of the people who come and go are businessmen.
Even so, it made it much more convenient for the military and civilians here, at least the value of the silver could be reflected, and the Korean ginseng that was dug up and purchased had a market.
The big black mountain in the northeast of Jinzhou belongs to the Changbai Mountain system, which is the remaining vein of the Qianshan Mountain Range, and the Qianshan Mountain Range is the remaining vein of the Changbai Mountain, showing the northeast and southwest trend, and the population here was relatively large a few decades ago, and later due to the rise of Jiannu to kill people everywhere, too many places became a no-man's land.
There is no absolute bad thing in the world, and the sharp decline in the population here has led to lush vegetation and an expansion of the area where wild animals live and thrive, which means that Korean ginseng, bear's paw, and deer antler velvet have a high chance of getting them.
Now some Liao people have been allowed to do small business, they buy deer antlers, deer skins, bear paws, sea cucumbers, Dongzhu and other Liaodong specialties, and operate small shops that process venison and canned bear meat, and workshops that process nitrate furs.
Liu Zhilun had already rushed back to Zunhua at the end of November, and he, the official in charge of the army, the people, and the area under his jurisdiction, had a lot of things to deal with by the end of the year.
Huanglong's men and horses also withdrew one after another, emptying all the captured armor, weapons, and arrows.
Huang Han's "Red Banner Army" is now the de facto ruler of this nearly 2,000 square kilometers. Defend Jinzhou and strive to cross the Great Black Mountain to the Qianshan Mountain Range to encroach on Fuzhou Bay, and expand the land for another 200 miles.
Here is not only the sky high and the emperor is far away, but also the sea is blocking and Jiannu is eyeing the tiger, and Huang Han is no longer in full view of the people and training soldiers here.
During this period, the "Red Banner Army" has been actually controlling the territory of more than 2,000 square kilometers from Fuzhou Bay to Daheishan while laying out the Jinzhou defense line.
The purpose is to turn this place into a military buffer zone, and also to fight scout battles with Jiannu here, train the warriors while having a channel to obtain the head of the Houjin army, and also have the benefit of receiving the Han Aha who escaped from the Houjin.
After the war, it is imperative to replenish the army and expand the army again, and now that Huang Han's power has risen sharply, of course, he must make good use of the power in his hands.
Huang Hannai is the actual chief military officer, and he is the chief military officer with the title of General Pingliao, and the gold content is still very high.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were as many as several big and ten general military officers, and even the later regimental training chief military officers would exceed 100, but some of the general military officers of the town guard had the general's seal, and some did not have the general's seal.
There are only eight titles such as General Pingliao, General Pingthief, General Zhengman, General Zhenshuo, and so on.
The imperial court approved the number of soldiers in the main barracks of Huang Han in Xuzhen was 6,000, half of each of cavalry and infantry, and Yang Dalang, who was actually awarded the deputy general of Xuzhen, gave 4,000 soldiers, and three cavalry and seven infantry.
Song Pengfei, the general of Yongping, was given 3,600 troops, Qin Yanyi, a guerrilla in Jinzhou, had 2,700 troops, and Huang Yong, a guerrilla in Lushun's Gulfwater Battalion, was only 1,000.
Huang Han, the chief military officer, has a total of more than 17,000 troops in the hands of the four battalions of Zheng, Qi, Yuan, and You, plus a battalion of 1,000 people, plus 5,600 guards of Funingwei, and the number of men and horses has exceeded 20,000.
Shan Huanghan's men and horses were to be allocated 700,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stone of grain every year according to the custom, of which half was wheat.
According to the routine of the imperial court, Huang Han could get less than 500,000 taels of silver a year at most, and 70,000 stone of grain.
With these rations, they can barely pay the monthly salaries of the "Red Banner Army" and the Funing Weisuo Army, and the consumption of training, the forage of the war horses, military uniforms, weapons, food, etc., must be subsidized by Huang Han, and it is estimated that it will have to be doubled to be enough.
