Chapter 798: Ambush
Zhang Fengyi not only persuaded Ma Xianglin not to be rash, but also knocked on the side by Qin Liangyu's side, talking about the importance of doing what he could, emphasizing that within three years after he was involved in Chengdu, the strength of the white pole soldiers would be doubled.
At that time, the time is ripe for the Northern Expedition to Shaanxi, and it is completely possible to unite with the "Red Banner Army" to destroy the withering and decaying.
Gu Zhun finally freed up his hands to settle and evacuate the hungry people, and he took the opportunity to take in 20,000 young and middle-aged people, and each of them was issued with an ash pole spear to practice stabbing.
These are all strong men with intact families and clan elders as protectors, and their families and clansmen rely on the relief of the "Red Banner Army" to avoid starvation, and they can help the "Red Banner Army" do things and have honor, and they can do without money and food.
The "Red Banner Army" has its own standards for the safety of the people, and the basic living guarantee of 600 yuan and five buckets of miscellaneous grain for one month is certainly indispensable, and the income of those who perform well as army commanders and small flag officers will immediately double.
Working for the "Red Flag Army" was able to get three meals, and the money and food were left for the family, which suddenly made the life of a family with strong laborers become a village warrior much better, which directly led to more and more applicants.
There is no absolute bad thing, Chengdu Mansion has been peaceful for a long time, if it wasn't for the scourge of the rogue that harmed thousands of households, then there will be more than 100,000 young adults who take the initiative to sign up for selection to become a village warrior?
In the spring of next year, we will take the lead in ensuring that the families who become village warriors will cultivate 50 acres of dry land or 20 acres of paddy fields.
Sichuan has a large population and a shortage of acres, and many families have to be diverted, and they will get dry land and paddy fields with property rights in "Hanjiang Province".
It was too tempting for the cultivator to have his own land, and he learned that when he went to "Hangang Province", the general would allocate land to each family, so that too many destitute Sichuan people would carry out thousands of miles of migration with their families.
It is an iron law to ensure that the tunhu gets half of the net harvest, and last year the general of the conquest added another one.
In a disaster year, when the harvest per mu of land is less than eight buckets of grain, priority should be given to ensuring that the tuning households receive four buckets of grain, and it does not matter if the "Red Flag Army" needs to pay the rent even if it is necessary.
In the event of a catastrophe, it is necessary not only to reduce or exempt the levy of grain, but also to distribute relief grain.
With such generous treatment of the peasants, why worry that the people would not join the "Red Banner Army"?
The embezzlement of unowned acres, the lease of the Shilu fields of the big landlords of the Shu king, and the confiscation of the private fields of the civil and military generals who fled without a fight are in progress, and it is believed that by next autumn, there will be a new scene on the Chengdu Plain.
Ma Xianglin, Qin Gongming and other generals of the white pole soldiers deliberately acted separately, and they each took two or three thousand men and horses to Chengdu as the center, and in the southeast, west, and several directions, they cleared up the bandits and concentrated the displaced people.
If Qin Liangyu still insists on pursuing northward, it will take at least five days to gather men and horses again, and the direction in which Gu Zhun leads the "Red Flag Army" to clear the bandits and rogues is northern Sichuan, and the assembled white pole soldiers will still be blocked by Gu Zhun.
Ma Lanhua has not hesitated to commit the intention of preventing Qin Liangyu from leaving Sichuan to die, and Zhang Fengyi will notify Gu Zhun of her mother-in-law's every move in advance.
Within a month or two, Qin Liangyu's temperate white pole soldiers and Sichuan troops may not be able to leave the territory of Chengdu Prefecture if they want to.
There are 25,000 white pole soldiers and 10,000 Sichuan troops in the Shaanxi battlefield, and I believe it will not take long to reveal what Hong Chengchou's fate will be under the attack of Jiannu and Liukou.
As early as the end of October, Huang Huiwu, chief officer of the Shaanxi Military Intelligence Department of the Banner Guard, personally came to Sun Yingyuan's army and talked with him in detail for more than an hour.
A few days later, the Ming army, who were searching for Liukou in the south of Hanzhong, received an order to go north to fight against Jiannu, and Sun Yingyuan asked for the order to lead the Beijing battalion to garrison Tongguan, which was approved by Hong Chengchou.
No one can afford to pay the responsibility for the loss of Tongguan, and it will deteriorate to the point that it will not only be the scourge of Shaanxi being built slaves, but also affect Henan and even Beizhili.
With Sun Yingyuan leading 10,000 people in the Beijing camp to hold on, Hong Chengchou can trust it, and I believe that the emperor can also rest assured.
Moreover, in case Hong Chengchou led the men and horses to have an accident and needed to retreat, Youtong was in the hands of Sun Yingyuan, so he could rest assured that he would retreat to the east.
The headquarters of the Shaanxi Military Intelligence Department of the Banner Guard was also withdrawn from Xi'an City, and the temporary headquarters was set up in Tongguan, a place where soldiers must fight.
Sun Yingyuan has always had a good relationship with the "Red Flag Army", and after getting Huang Huiwu's guidance to garrison Tongguan, he put the heart he had been carrying in his stomach.
The soldiers of Shaanxi are fierce and dangerous, and Sun Yingyuan knows the weight of the people and horses in the emperor's heart, so he has always taken the passivity of not seeking merit but seeking no fault in Shaanxi.
Now retreat to Tongguan, at least he will not be trapped in Shaanxi by Liukou and Jiannu, Sun Yingyuan is very confident, and it is not a problem to stick to Tongguan Jiancheng with the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp.
Tongguan is more than 300 miles away from Xi'an, and the circumference of the city is more than 20 miles according to the mountain, including Qilin Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, Elephant Mountain, Yintai Mountain, Bijia Mountain, etc. in the city.
In addition to Sun Yingyuan leading 10,000 people in Beijing, there were more than 3,000 troops in the original garrison.
After the "Red Flag Army" withdrew from Shaanxi, it retained the "Red Flag Great Grain Store" and the Sifang Money Village in Tongguan, and many of the staff members who had been evacuated did not resume their posts, but came to Tongguan to strengthen their forces.
The staff of the "Red Banner Army" system in Tongguan City is as high as 2,000, and half of them have combat effectiveness.
There is no need to worry about these Qin rebels and thieves, first of all, they are all sons of good families, not only their small families immigrated to "Hanjiang Province", but some even the entire clan went.
Sun Yingyuan not only did not restrict the development of the "Red Flag Army", but also deliberately opened the door to convenience, and he even promoted Huang Huiwu to serve as the chief military officer of the Shanxi regimental training.
The "Red Banner Army" has made a prestige, and there are several retired military attaches in the system who have been recommended by local officials to become regimental training generals during this time.
The imperial court knew that it seemed inappropriate to reuse the military attaches who had served the generals in the requisition, but these people were too eye-catching.
In order to ensure the safety of the party, the magistrates not only did not guard against the infiltration of the "Red Banner Army," but also deliberately involved in the relationship, because they knew that the territory that the "Red Flag Army" had touched could be preserved nine times out of ten.
The trend of the times, and there are cabinets, military officials, officials and other high-profile shouting to use talents in an eclectic manner, and Emperor Chongzhen can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood.
Huang Huiwu originally had a formal four-grade Funing Wei signing award, and it was reasonable for the imperial court to appoint a historic regimental training chief officer, and the appointment came down within a few days.
There were no generals in the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years, and it was not until after the death of the country that there were a lot of grass feathers in the Southern Ming Dynasty, not to mention the generals, even the kings of the opposite sex.
The current chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty is respected by the eight major seal generals, and the next is the chief military officer of a certain place, such as the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, the chief military officer of Datong, the chief military officer of Jizhen and so on.
Next is the temporary general army, such as the general military officer of Liao, the general military officer of the reinforcement and suppression, etc., and the last general military officer is the general military officer of the regimental training.
