Chapter 711: Sweeping the Loop
Huang Han still sat in Zhangjiakou, dealing with emergencies on the spot, dealing with the official exchanges of the imperial court, and preventing the restoration of Shanxi, Xuanda Jin merchants, and landlords and bureaucrats.
The direct leaders led by Hanzi were stationed in Taiyuan, and Yang Danian's men and horses were stationed in Datong.
In addition, there are four newly organized battalions with the Fangliandong battalion as the grass-roots military attaché, and the heads of the four newly organized battalions are stationed at the Great Wall passes, such as Ningwu Pass, Yatou Pass, Yanmen Pass, Shangbao Fort, and Desheng Fort.
Their task was to ensure that the territory already under the actual control of the "Red Banner Army" in Shanxi and Xuanda was not harmed by the Tartars, Liukou, and Qing troops, and at the same time to transform the 50,000 or 60,000 Ming troops.
Hanzi, Yang Danian, Fang Liandong and other generals will not participate in the Korean War, they have six main barracks of the "Red Banner Army" in their hands, with more than 25,000 men.
There are 18 1,000 households and 20,000 men and horses in the guards, and there are 50,000 or 60,000 Ming troops who have been taken over by the "Red Banner Army" and are being intensively trained.
Shanxi and Xuanda have six battalion commanders, including Hanzi, Yang Danian, and Fang Liandong, who will be stationed in the garrison, and can mobilize about 100,000 people.
If necessary, more than 300,000 young and middle-aged villagers can be mobilized, which is more than enough to deal with hostile forces from outside and within.
This is not self-talking, because about 4 million people in Shanxi have survived with the help of the "Red Banner Army," and the census was completed at the end of last year, and every household has a household registration book.
With the household registration book, the people can borrow money or buy life food from the "Red Flag Grain Bank" according to the recorded number of people.
It is Huang Han's consistent principle that orphans can be adopted and the mode of mutual assistance can be adopted to centrally resettle the lonely and widowed elderly and disabled people who cannot support themselves, but they should not give food to anyone who has the labor force free of charge.
When the grain borrowed by the common people is returned one year later, they still have to charge 10 percent interest, and they can only buy grain with the silver dollars and copper plates issued by the "Red Banner Army" system.
The "Red Flag Great Grain Store" no longer accepts broken silver, because the masters who originally specialized in distinguishing the fineness of silver and gold and then weighing them in silver are now responsible for exchanging new coins in the "Sifang Money".
Why was the apprenticeship time so long in ancient stores? It is because there are a lot of things to learn, such as distinguishing the fineness of gold and silver, and distinguishing the copper content of copper coins is not something that can be learned overnight.
After only receiving the new coins, the buddy is much more relaxed, after all, the new coins are of high quality, with the most advanced minting process of this era, and the imitations are easily recognizable.
Because there is a daily necessity of affordable grain, and because all the shops in the "Red Banner Army" system only accept new currency, the common people must take the broken silver to the "Sifang Bank" to exchange it for new currency.
Now that the new currency has been recognized by the small people and merchants of Shengdou, there are basically no merchants queuing up to immediately convert the new currency they receive into silver.
Even if the new currency is sent to the "Sifang Bank", it is not to exchange it for silver, but to get some interest on a current or fixed deposit certificate.
For the common people who have registered their household registration, as long as the ration amount recorded in the grain book does not exceed the total parity, the polished rice does not exceed one stone or two silver dollars.
The household registration book clearly arranges the situation of millions of ordinary people, and the grain book firmly controls the livelihood of the small people in Shengdou, and the new currency is used to gradually withdraw gold and silver from circulation, and the economy is under control again.
Shanxi and Xuanda have already taken responsibility for the joint defense of armor, and the people who practice every three days can get five buckets of allowance and grain every month.
Training activists and small flag officers can even get six coins of silver and five buckets of miscellaneous grains to serve with the army.
Therefore, Huang Han is very confident that if Shanxi and Xuanda are attacked again, as long as the "Red Flag Army" climbs the heights and shouts, there will definitely be more than 300,000 young and middle-aged people who will participate in the defense of their homeland with ash poles and spears.
Of course, Hanzi, who loved to fight, was unwilling to miss the battle to take the Korean Peninsula to open up the territory of the Han family, and Huang Han was in a bad mood when he ordered him to garrison Shanxi.
Huang Han didn't know Hanzi's character, and it was rumored that the six battalion officers who stayed in Shanxi had a meeting, and after handing over an important task to Hanzi and other six camp commanders at the meeting, this little man immediately became more energetic.
Hanzi is known for his cavalry warfare, and the cavalry under his command is the trump card in the 36 army barracks.
It was also because Huang Han had great trust in Hanzi that when he broke up the expanded men and horses of each battalion and reorganized the new battalion, he left the cavalry selected and recruited by Hanzi during this time.
Therefore, Hanzi's direct battalion has more than 1,000 members, which is more than 1,000 cavalry than other battalions.
Among the generals who stayed in Shanxi, Hanzi's position was the highest regardless of the official appointment of the Ming Dynasty or the actual award given by the "Red Flag Army" system, followed by Yang Danian, and Fang Liandong ranked third.
The three Wang Zhaoxiang, Zhu Lianshan, and Chen Song, who had just been promoted from deputy battalion officer and part-time general manager to the chief general of the first battalion due to meritorious service, only had the rank of general of the Ming Dynasty.
After they completed the thorough transformation of the 50,000 or 60,000 Ming army, they could concentrate the cavalry to launch a westward expedition after the autumn harvest next year, and strive to conquer or drive away the Tartars in the Hetao area.
In the fifteenth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, Genghis Khan's fifteenth grandson, Dayan Khan, once again unified the Mongolian steppe and set up 60,000 households.
His third son, Erjin Balsborot, was named Jinong, and he was in charge of the grassland in the middle of the new Qinzhong as the Ordos Wanhu.
In the spring of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Mongolian Ordos Department of Jinong Erjin Ephochen learned that Lin Dan Khan had died, and his wife and concubines were divided among the masters of the Jurchen Eight Banners.
There were 16 large tribes of 3,000 or more households in Monan, and 49 medium tribes ranging from 1,000 households to a few hundred households.
In the ninth year of Chongzhen, dozens of Mongolian chieftains obeyed the requisition of the master of Jiannu and sent more than 40,000 people to participate in the war, and half of the tribes were personally led by Taiji.
Fortunately, reality and history are completely different, too many Tartars who followed Jiannu into the customs for the first time in history to burn, kill and loot tasted the sweetness, and since then they have followed Jiannu with an iron heart.
Now there is no such good thing, although the Tartars have grabbed a lot of gold and silver treasures, but the loss of nearly 20,000 men and horses is definitely not worth the loss.
Next, they will repent of their intestines, because the "Red Banner Army" will kill the steppe to retaliate, ten times more fierce than the Tartars and Jiannu, and they will not hesitate to kill a few Tartar tribes to establish power.
The ancestor of the phosphorus minister is the Ordos Wanhu, and it must have been extremely brilliant, and now it should be a weasel with a litter of rats is not as good as a litter, otherwise how can a royal family of Mengyuan be embarrassed to take refuge in the Tunguska savages?
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and after the death of Lin Dan Khan, the tribe of the Ephumchen should be in the forefront of Monan, with a population of less than 10,000 households and more than 5,000 households.
