Chapter 352: No Idleness

Zhang Qiang returned to the Governor's Mansion with his personal guards, and as soon as he sat down, he had to deal with official business.

Now he is the lord of a country, although the civil affairs have been handed over to Zhou Congee, but he has to make decisions on personnel arrangements, military affairs, grasping the general direction, diplomacy, and internal and external intelligence work, as well as the supervision and appointment of hundreds of officials.

Longwu Nanming established the country, called the Nanming country, and the Lu Jian country Nanming was called the Lu country, and just half a month ago, the Yongli in Myanmar also spread the world, and the Yongli Nanming changed to the Ming country, and also established a country.

Affected by this wave of nation-building, a week ago, Chahar Mongolia also announced the establishment of the Chahar Khanate, Sunit proclaimed himself the king of Khan, and Chahar, who cooperated with him, was named Dataiji, whose status is equivalent to that of the prime minister or the general army of the Ming Dynasty, and the military generals who are larger than the general army, which is equivalent to the defense minister with the rank of governor of the Huaxia Army.

The Qing Dynasty also established the Qing State, and it is not known further away, anyway, this trend is spreading in the land of the Ming Dynasty and has become a fashion.

Although Zhang Qiang did not publicly ask the Ministry of Rites to announce the founding of the Huaxia Army, all outside forces and various established countries called the Huaxia Army Huaxia State.

Zhang Liang, the eunuch leader of Longwu Zhu Yujian, the great eunuch, is now the foreign minister of the Huaxia Army, under the management of Zhang Qiang, and also under the dispatch of Zhou Congee.

Dealing with the implementation of a number of previously concluded treaties.

After a month and a half of activities, I finally finished cooking that aspect and came back to report to Zhang Qiang.

The two of them sat opposite each other, a table of eight immortals, two pots of jasmine tea, talking about things and drinking tea.

Not counting Zhang Liang's identity as a eunuch, Zhang Liang is a handsome official and a capable person, and Longwu Nanming's affairs are handled quite well by him.

Provide weapons and equipment, anyway, those are captured weapons and equipment, after use, most of them have gaps or the light is not bright, or although they have not been used, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army will not use those equipment, and even the village guards in some of the newly occupied land of the Huaxia Army use some inferior cold weapons from the Huaxia Army Arsenal.

These inferior cold weapons are defective products, it is a pity to throw them away, the cost of returning to the furnace is high, and they are handed over to the village guards to use, and there is nothing distressing to lose or be captured by the enemy, although these are inferior products, but they are also newer than the weapons used by the Ming army now, good, excellent quality, and when the enemy is chopping, if your strength is not as good as others, you will only knock the weapon away, and will not immediately damage the weapon, even the blade does not carry a roll.

The weapons used by the militia are the weapons that have been eliminated by the main forces of the original production, although they are a little older, but the quality is absolutely good.

The garrison used newly produced weapons, which were improved to be quite sharp and easy to use, and the regular soldiers of the main force used the same weapons.

These weapons and equipment provided to Nanming that were captured from the Qing army were sold by Zhang Liang for a good price in exchange for a considerable amount of gold and silver.

In exchange for a lot of goods, raw silk, iron ore, tea, porcelain, salt and other things necessary for the Huaxia army, it is equivalent to the price of cabbage approved, and the Huaxia army can earn back three times the profit as long as it changes hands once.

It has effectively increased the financial revenue of the Huaxia Army.

These were sufficient to supplement the initial expenses of the two prefectures, namely Fujian and Jiangxi, the two newly established state capitals of the Huaxia Army.

Fujian went through the Jinhua Righteous Army period repeatedly, more down to Longwu Nanming, and then by pirates or Zheng Cai, Zheng Hongkui and others occupied, the Huaxia Army recaptured, handed over to Nanming, and then recaptured by the Qing Army, the Huaxia Army period, these repeated made where the population plummeted, commerce collapsed, houses were abandoned, roads were abandoned, in order to restore these, it took a lot of money.

This requires subsidies from the core areas of the Huaxia Army, which has already been developed, and the expenses of the Huaxia Army are not small, and in addition to these, the financial pressure is quite large, and such an external income makes the financial crisis of the Huaxia Army proudly alleviated.

A large amount of raw materials imported from other places prevented the Huaxia Army from being short of raw materials, and the goods were purchased at low prices, so that the Huaxia Army could reduce the prices of Huaxia Army's products at low prices and achieve higher profits.

Contacts with the newly established countries and forces made the environment around the Huaxia army harmonious, and the Huaxia army could concentrate on dealing with the Qing army without being exposed to the enemy.

After talking for a while, Zhang Qiang said to Zhang Liang: "Lord Zhang, you still have to go, go to the Qing army on the other side, they informed us last week that we need to negotiate with us to exchange prisoners, you know that our last battle with the Qing army, captured and annihilated many of their generals, even the clan, the prince, Baylor and others." ”

Zhang Liang's expression was serious, "Metropolitan Governor, what do you want me to do?" What do we need them to pay in exchange for their nobles? ”

Zhang Qiang tapped his finger on the table, "First of all, from the intelligence point of view, they are using our captured personnel to train their firearms troops, and they want to learn our tactics and fight to defeat us in the future, this point must be resolutely raised, these people must be brought back, and they cannot be allowed to train the Qing army, which will increase the casualties of our army in the future." ”

Zhang Liang frowned, "Metropolitan Governor, I'm afraid this is difficult, those people who promised to train the new army for them are definitely not traitors with unfirm minds, or people who are disloyal to our army, maybe they have already defected to the Qing army, what do you want them to come back for?" ”

Zhang Qiang replied to him solemnly, "We must come back, or we must put on a posture, we must prevent them from obtaining the secrets of our army, how many can be returned, how to arrange the return of these people in the future, and then decide, you can promise these people, after they come back, they will not be held accountable, and their families will be harmed, but they can only support themselves on our territory in the future, they will be kicked out of the army and become ordinary people, and we will not embarrass them in the future." ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is ......" Zhang Qiang stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Liang's questioning, "Needless to say, that's just a pretense, our real purpose is what I said, do our best to inflict certain losses on them, even if it is to delay their army formation time and weaken their combat effectiveness, they will not be allowed to get more secrets of our army's tactics." ”

And another main purpose, "we have gone through several lootings, massacres, and population exodus by the Qing army here, the population of the core area is recovering, and it is growing steadily, but the population of other newly occupied areas, according to Zhou Congee's investigation, has lost at least seventy percent of the population, and we must replenish it from the Qing army, they are a Ming army general, and must exchange back our 2,000 population, a Han army general prisoner, must be exchanged for our 4,000 population, and a Manchurian general must be exchanged for 8,000 people. A clan must exchange a population of fifteen, a bailor must exchange a population of thirty thousand, and a prince must exchange a population of fifty thousand......"

"You weigh it yourself, we don't want these guys, it's not much use to raise them, it's okay to exchange them for some benefits, ordinary soldiers must be exchanged for five people, but don't be old and weak, drag your family with you, you can accept it."

"What about the others?" Zhang Liang asked.

"You can do other things, you can also ask for some land, such as a mansion or something,"

"Governor, aren't these too cheap for them, you need to know that the eldest Duo is Dorgon's own brother."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, no matter how much we want, they are all looting our people, we don't want to add a lot of disasters to the people."
