Chapter 129: Recuperation
Most of the imprisoned generals took refuge in Zhang Qiang, and King Lu's people also came to Zhang Qiang, which enriched Zhang Qiang's general team, and stated Zheng Cai's affairs to Longwu, creating some trouble for Zheng Cai, Zhang Qiang still worked hard to recover the troops lost due to many battles and the territory damaged by years of war.
It's just that Zhang Qiang didn't know that Zheng Cai himself would be so cruel, and he didn't know that Zheng Cai would treat his territory like that.
The next day, Zhang Qiang met with Mi Chun.
Mi Chun has been busier than Zhang Qiang these days, because he is the prefect and in charge of civil affairs, he doesn't have the ability of Jin Sheng to be a professional official cultivated by the Ming Dynasty, all those who can read and get into the Jinshi, and those who mix well in the officialdom are actually not as unbearable as those novels written in later generations, people still have real skills, but people like Mi Chun, who come up from the bottom, can see that they actually only see one side of the matter and have no ability to see this matter from the overall situation, so their work efficiency is better than Jin Sheng, that's a difference of 108,000 miles.
"My lord, there are 230,000 mu of land in Jinhua Mansion, and the 200,000 mu that have been restored to cultivation at present, the other 30,000 mu cannot be carried out temporarily because no one cultivates them, and in addition, there is no manpower to reclaim the barren land."
Mi Chun reported to Zhang Qiang.
"Aren't there still those captives?" Zhang Qiang asked.
Mi Chun said in embarrassment: "My lord, the capture of us in these few battles, and the repeated recruitment of troops from the captives, has almost been exhausted, there are still 3,000 stubborn Han army banner prisoners, more than 1,800 Tatar prisoners, and more than 500 Mongol prisoners, these people except for some Han army banner captives can cultivate, others do not know how to farm, can only do some hard work, repair the city wall, dredge the river, widen the road, etc., manpower is simply not enough." ”
"What about the resettlement of displaced people and refugees?" Zhang Qiang asked.
Mi Chun said: "My lord, Lord Jin Sheng has almost arranged all of them to settle in the house, and now it has shown the effect, becoming the fixed people of the three mansions, but later some foreign refugees poured in from the old land of the Ming Dynasty, the villain has nowhere to resettle, and there are some landlords and heroes of the original three mansions who came back from other places.
They returned to the same place, took the title deed, and had a dispute with the resettled refugees, according to the adult's disposal plan, the villain has refuted their request, let them choose another wasteland, and the ownerless house is resettled by themselves, and then come to the government to report, but these people are still unyielding, often cause trouble, besiege the official yamen, the villain is annoying. ”
"Nonsense," Zhang Qiang patted the case, "didn't you explain our policy to them?" ”
Without waiting for Mi Chun to answer, Zhang Qiang said again: "All the land, including the barren mountains and mountains, as long as the territory under my control, all of them belong to the government, and all their original properties are under public ownership. ”
Mi Chun said: "But my lord, they don't understand, although the lower officials have explained many times, and even used the officials, but they are openly and secretly, always making trouble for the villain." ”
Zhang Qiang glared angrily, "Let Wei Wuji send troops, arrest all those who want to make trouble, put them into the hard labor camp, when they figure it out, let them out, dare to make trouble, and kill all those who do the opposite." ”
Mi Chun said: "My lord, will this arouse the anger of the people," Zhang Qiang was even more angry, "There is no public anger, those who do not listen and do not cooperate, they will all be arrested, this is my territory, I beat it down, they can escape, and they want to return to their land when they come back, they have not fulfilled their responsibilities, they want to eat and drink for nothing, there is no door, do what I say." ”
"Yes, sir." Mi Chun reluctantly retreated.
As soon as Mi Chun left, Wei Wuji came again.
"My lord, according to your instructions, each county has a thousand troops to garrison the county, and the government arranges three thousand households to garrison, and the main force of my Jinhua Righteous Army is stationed in the key places of the pass, and each county town has set up barracks and outside the city, not to compete with the county town for power, not to compete with the people for profit, the army has set up military fields to raise its own food, and the auxiliary soldiers in the army are cultivated, and the regular soldiers are trained and patrolled."
"Well, how many regular soldiers are there in our army?" Zhang Qiang has always been in control of the overall situation, retired from the military and civil affairs, and let the people below do the work.
"Our army is 10,000 soldiers in Jinhua Mansion and 8,000 auxiliary soldiers, and most of the troops are stationed in the Jindong camp."
"Let's go down, I know, continue to strengthen training, guard against clearing troops, send more detailed work to the other side of the riverbank, probe the horses, and understand the changes in the opponent's strength and strength."
At present, the Jinhua Righteous Army has controlled the waterway from the sea to the Lingjiang River and then to the Jinhua River, and the endless flow of materials is distributed to various places through the waterway transportation in the territory every day, but Zhang Qiang thought that it was to hit the Yangtze River to enjoy the convenience of the Yangtze River water transportation and share a share of the Yangtze River water transportation.
However, this idea can only be shelved for the time being, because then it will attract the blows of the Qing army in Anhui and Jiangxi, and will also be hit by the Qing army in Nanjing.
At present, the Qing army in Jiangxi is still very large, and the Qing army in Nanjing is also very large, which is not something he can provoke, the reason why everyone does not attack is because both sides are unable to attack, Zhang Qiang needs to rest, and the other party needs to face more opponents.
Training, increasing the number of guns and artillery in his own army, and expanding the army are things that Zhang Qiang is currently doing.
If you venture to war with the Qing army, you must not only take into account your own territory, but also take into account the safety of the Longwu court, the Qing army has swept most of the Ming Dynasty, the north is relatively peaceful, the enemy has a stable rear, you can use the economy and army of the northern provinces to support the south to exterminate the remnants of the Ming Dynasty war, and the south after many major wars, whether it is soldiers, people, people's livelihood, or the people's will is very lacking.
Zhang Qiang's support for Longwu did not want to attack the Longwu court after the Qing army defeated the Yongli Nanming regime, annihilate the Lu Wang's Nanming forces, and then come to him, a small minion who is not a representative of the Ming forces, to settle accounts, by that time, I am afraid that he has developed to the strength of the Qing Dynasty backwards, so there is no need to be afraid of the other party.
Zhu Da ran in after a while, "My lord, in the past few days, we have found that Zheng Caibu's sailor has not moved. ”
Zhang Qiang said unhappily: "There is no change, what are you doing running in?" ”
Zhu Dayou said aggrievedly: "My lord, but we found that Zheng Cai seems to have entered our territory. ”
Zhang Qiang sat upright, "Then find him, follow him, and see what the hell he does." ”
"Yes, sir."
Zhang Qiang stood up, moved his body, looked outside, and muttered: "I should go and train my soldiers personally, no matter how strong his sailors are, they can't run to the land, the land is still my world." ”
