Chapter 399: Blockade
The so-called stratagem to achieve victory is nothing more than a tactical risk, and sooner or later it will be cocooned by the repetition of stratagem.
When fighting, the best and safest way is to push and crush flatly, and reduce ten times with one force.
Completely different from the Ming army and the Jiannu and Tatar armies, the "Red Banner Army" will complete a certain amount of military training every day except for a few traditional festivals throughout the year, regardless of cold or summer, and there will be a few days of additional training every month, rain or shine.
On the contrary, there is no need to complete training quotas in wartime, which leads many veterans to prefer the wartime state and are most tired of training day after day in peacetime.
Therefore, when the "Red Banner Army" went into battle, the vast majority of soldiers were as excited as a holiday, because this meant that the food standard was raised, the training quota was canceled, and the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune came.
Several times to increase the troops, counting the men and horses under his father's command, the "Red Banner Army" has 13,000 regular soldiers in Ningyuan.
Among them, there are 5,000 cavalry, and half of the cavalry musketeers account for the proportion, and the formation of combat effectiveness will not be immediate, not only training is required, but there must also be a run-in period between the various arms, and a consensus will be formed so that the division of labor is different, the danger is different, and the profit and contribution are different.
After all, people's selfishness cannot be ignored, and fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of every soldier is a skill that commanders must study and master in a timely manner.
The cold weapon cavalry is responsible for intercepting the enemy cavalry from fighting to the death face to face and win time for the hot weapon cavalry to reload its own gun, this rule seems simple, but it is not easy to implement.
Cold weapon cavalry must have a passion for survival and death to be able to do it, and when the cavalry musketeer is reloaded, he must immediately reflexively kill back to try to kill the enemy cavalry, which is also the key to victory, so cooperation and tacit understanding are quite important.
There were two thousand general cold weapons infantry stationed in Ningyuan, and less than 6,000 men and horses, namely artillerymen, engineers, self-generated guns, gunmen, and bird guns.
The total number of Minnie gunners, who most frightened the enemy, reached four, with a total of four hundred and forty-eight men. Ning Yuan deployed two hundred presidents, one hundred general manager stayed in Jinzhou, and one hundred general followed Huang Han to the sea.
Ningyuan's guards are even more numerous, and now there are more than 10,000, originally there were several guards from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, but now Huang Han only has the ability to restore a former guard to settle the old and weak soldiers who have been laid off.
It is only required to organize two veterans with combat skills to practice every three days, and not to force them to go into battle to kill the enemy, but only to organize the people in the countryside to enter the fort and the city when they encounter the invasion of Jiannu.
Emperor Huangyizhou Shangjuan immediately got the approval of the restoration of the former guards, because the guards were hoarding and self-reliant, and they also paid grain to the imperial court, and it was beneficial for the imperial court to turn the veterans of Ningyuan who were supposed to be paid by the imperial court into the guards, and the emperor naturally strongly supported it.
Therefore, the imperial court generously gave the Qiantun guard establishment, and there will be a commander of the three ranks, two commanders from the three guards, four commanders from the fourth grade, two from the five grades of the town of Fu officials, five from the five grades of thousands of households, a number of from the five grades of the test of a thousand households, six from the six grades of a hundred households, from the six products to wipe a hundred households, and so on.
The imperial court also clarified the territory of the former tunwei, and the content was relatively vague, because no one from the household department and the military department personally came to measure the land outside the Guanwai, and the original tun people here had long lost contact with the government, and the imperial court did not know how many ordinary people and how many fertile fields there were in the Liaoxi Corridor outside the Guan?
The imperial court was vague, estimating that it was because the Guanwai Tun area was completely destroyed and the imperial court was unable to restore it, and since the "Red Banner Army" wanted to build a military camp outside the Guan, then how to build the "Red Flag Army" in the territory from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan could make its own decisions.
Therefore, the acres of land that have not been abandoned for a long time from outside the gate to the east of Ningyuan for 30 miles, the restored former tunwei can be pocketed, and they can also find their own fertile land and beautiful places to reclaim.
The emperor may have felt a little guilty when he lost the marquis of the Huang family, not only generously exempted Qiantunwei from taxes for eight years, but also ordered Shanhaiguan to provide ploughing cattle and farm tools and seeds to support Qiantunwei's reclamation.
Gao Di had a very good relationship with the Huang family, and of course he would do his best when the emperor had a will, and sent five ploughing oxen and five hundred ploughs out of Shanhaiguan.
It is impossible to give more, because Gao Di's first arrival in power is worse than the last time he passed through Liaodong, Jinzhou Whip is beyond his reach, and Ning Yuan has a son who is preparing for the army, and it is impossible for him to interfere.
The imperial court has recently had personnel adjustments, with Xu Congzhi of Shandong Wude Dao as the right capital of the imperial history, the governor of Shandong, Xie Lian as the right deputy capital of the imperial history, and the governor of Denglai.
also newly appointed a mountain and eternal governor Yang Sichang, Yang Sichang, the right of the Imperial Inspectorate of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and Yang Sichang, who supervised military affairs in Yong, was very strong, and he was the kind of cadre who was eager for political achievements and eager to climb up.
Lao Gaodi looked down on Yang Sichang, a junior, and he even looked down on Yang He, Yang Sichang's old son, but the emperor trusted Yang Sichang to entrust him with important tasks, and he had no choice but to choose to sit in Shanhaiguan for two years and strive to take care of a few more Gao family children.
At least during the period when the 7,000 white pole soldiers led by Ma Xianglin and Qin Yiming were stationed at Shanhaiguan, Huang Han did not need to worry about a fire in the backyard and the enemy in his belly.
With such a good environment, Huang Han will of course seize the time to consolidate the territory, and now due to excessive investment, he cannot make ends meet, so he will go to the country to earn silver and buy rice.
During this time, the scouts of Ningyuan's "Red Banner Army" discovered a new situation, that is, the surviving Han people in the western Liaoning corridor were discovered one after another.
The propaganda team led by Liu Zaiqi had a new work content, going up the mountains and into the forest to find Han people living in remote areas, giving them help, and persuading them to join the tunmin system.
The members of the propaganda team are also armed task forces, and now everyone carries their own guns, and Liu Zaiqi was rewarded with a mini gun for his outstanding performance, so he has two mini guns.
With the cooperation of the scouts and the protection of the infantry of the "Red Banner Army", they entered the vast Yanshan Mountain in the west of the western Liaoning Corridor to look for the Han people who had escaped the war and evaded the harsh government, and found that the Mongols had been captured by the way to herd horses for the "Red Banner Army".
In a few months, more than 20,000 Han people were found, and these people lived a hard life without exception, and under the temptation of each man to get five buckets of miscellaneous grain and six coins of silver, they all happily compiled their household registration and became tunmin.
The physical fitness of more than 20,000 people is much better, especially those men, it may be because these people are shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting their families, and they must use force.
Liu Zaiqi selected more than 1,000 young and strong men who could shoot arrows to participate in the three-day training of the Weisuo Army, and distributed them with infantry bows of the Ming Army.
The army's standard bow and arrow is contraband among the people, and the hunting bow used by the common people for hunting belongs to the category of small bows, and the strength is small, and the power is poor, giving more than 1,000 Han people who fight with nature to live in space, and the self-confidence of these Han people is immediately different.
Qiantun Guard now has a full three thousand general guard troops, two thousand are always cold weapon spearmen and sword and shield men, and one thousand are always archers, with them holding the Qiantun Acropolis, it is estimated that Jiannu will not be able to attack three or five thousand men and horses.
Not only was the land reclamation busy, but the cement factories and brick kilns were also in the ascendant, because a large amount of cement and bricks were needed to build reservoirs and ditches to manage small watersheds.
It is true that investment drives prosperity, and tens of thousands of people have jobs and can earn silver and food, and the face of the god has changed greatly, and the long-lost smile has begun to ripple on his face.
