Li Dingguo ran to rescue Yongli at this time, Zhang Qiang didn't react for a while, and when the various relationships in his head were gradually sorted out, he said slowly: "For us, it's just right, we can fight He Tengjiao with confidence, don't worry about anything, Wen Anzhi and those old generals of Dashun are in Sishan Prefecture, no matter how long their hands are, they can't control us, and they won't cause us any harm, this situation is really timely." ”

"Go and give Xiao Fei an order, get He Tengjiao as soon as possible, either surrender or be destroyed, bring a message to He Tengjiao, salute first and then soldier."

"Yes, Grand Duke." The guard sent the order.

Zhang Qiang felt relaxed, at least the opponent Yongli Daming would not go against him, and it was impossible to join forces with Nanmingguo, so that he would have to deal with a weak Nanming Kingdom, they would not make any big waves, at least they couldn't meet with their own soldiers, they were all taught by the Huaxia Army, and they knew the strength of the Huaxia Army.

As for some small means, there must be, the question is whether the Huaxia Army will be afraid of them?

Impossible.

Li Dingguo, it's really time for you to leave, Zhang Qiang is afraid that Li Dingguo will bring troops to fight to the death with the Huaxia army, that guy is at least a rare god of war level general in the late Ming Dynasty, many generals of the Qing army are folded in his hands, if he is not weak, if it is not for Yongli to support the wall, Li Dingguo may lead the Ming Dynasty to restore the country, this point is really a little possible if it is specifically deduced.

However, it is really that several Ming courts can't support the wall, can't help him much, and he is hiding in Yunnan Prefecture so remote away from the Central Plains, away from wealth and away from resources, not only poor mountains and bad waters, but also a province with a lack of population, how can he deal with Wu Sangui, a big traitor like Wu Sangui who has a steady stream of Qing troops to transport all kinds of materials, and finally has to be forced to go away to Myanmar, where the descendants become Han Chinese.

And Wu Sangui relied on the advantage of the kingdom to force Bai Mang to hand over Yongli, and then strangled Yongli with a bowstring, ending the last monarch of the Han people, the Han court.

The Han people, on the other hand, began an era of brainwashing, domination, and oppression for more than 260 years, until a new chapter was opened in modern history.

All parties of the Huaxia Army were arranged, Zhang Qiang also took it a little easier, and traveled around Huguang with his manpower, and went to various places, in general, after the battle in the past month, Huguang has basically settled down.

Tang Dianfeng has a very vigorous and resolute work efficiency, less than half a month after taking office, the lake and Guangzhou were sorted out in an orderly manner, and all kinds of officials were successively put in place with the Jinhua center, and the Ming and Nanming of Hu Guangzhou, or the officials appointed by He Tengjiao's private dispatch, or the officials appointed by the Qing court, were all taken down.

In accordance with the regulations of the Huaxia Army, the officials assigned by the Huaxia Army began to transform the official offices in various places, sort out personnel relations, promote a group, and overthrow a group; It was soon restored to the state of stability it was in before the war.

Officials and intelligence personnel dispatched by the Ministry of Civil Affairs quickly went deep into the fields, government offices, and commercial ports to conduct overt and covert investigations, and soon found out a number of landlords, gentry, and officials who were extremely angry with the people, raided their homes, arrested them, and sent them to prison.

Soon Zhang Qiang knew how much money he had gained from this raid and imprisonment.

Not counting those materials, the silver taels alone reached 10 million taels, which made the Huaxia Army's finances in Huguang and Guangzhou full at once, and put aside the 2 million taels of military expenses paid for the battle in Huguang in the early stage, the 1 million taels paid by the militia and officials in the later stage, and the 3 million taels of silver used to consume materials, ammunition, and the wounded and the resettlement of the people, the Huaxia Army obtained a surplus of 4 million taels.

These are the amount of silver taels converted from Huaxia yuan, which means that the Huaxia Army will recover all the investment in Huguang and earn 4 million taels, and at the same time, the 4 million taels of silver will be left in Huguang as the finance of Huguang, and there is no need to hand it over, which means that the Huaxia Army does not have to bear the cost of the preliminary construction in Huguangzhou, and it has used 4 million taels less, which greatly eases the financial situation of the Huaxia Army.

Although the Huaxia Army occupied a small half of the southeast and southwest of the Ming Dynasty, it was equivalent to occupying the richest territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the assets obtained must be more, and because Zhang Qiang developed various ways to make money, such as selling arms, the goods in various places were concentrated and sold by the Huaxia Army, earning huge profits and filling the treasury of the Huaxia Army, but the expenses of the Huaxia Army were also huge.

First of all, the Huaxia army has a huge army, and military expenditure is a huge burden.

Originally, in one Zhejiang Prefecture, the military expenditure of the three prefectures of the Huaxia Army was 3 million taels, but later it was expanded to the territory of the five prefectures, occupying two prefectures of Fujian Prefecture, and the military expenditure reached 5 million taels.

But Zhang Qiang used troops for Zheng, and the military expenditure reached one million taels, but fortunately, he obtained ten million taels of materials and silver taels, alleviated the financial dilemma, and made a fortune, and after that, he began to overhaul the roads in the territory and dredge the river, although the use of prisoners and prisoners, but some tools, as well as the supervision of the army's expenditures are still needed, and later began to build ships, expand the naval division, fight with Zheng Hongkui, fight with the Dutch and the Portuguese, more and more troops, and the territory is getting bigger and bigger.

Military spending has risen from 500 to 8 million, and fiscal spending has risen from 15 million to 30 million.

At that time, in addition to the taxes of the three provinces in the core area and the seizures of the war, they could only rely on the sale of arms, and obtained some income from Zheng Chenggong and the Spaniards, and other places also needed subsidies.

After taking Fujian Prefecture and giving the land to Nanming Longwu, it alleviated the huge expenditure of financial subsidies brought about by the continuous expansion of the territory, and finally balanced the revenue and expenditure through a period of development.

But then there was a battle with the Qing army, the Southern Ming was almost wiped out by the Qing army, had to send troops, the army expanded again, and the expenses were large, after a battle, the Southern Ming Dynasty restored the country, Zhang Qiang still did not dare to accept those territories, and so completely defeated the Qing army, annihilated the enemy's 600,000 troops, and obtained a lot of captures, and at the same time the Nanming could not afford to push Adou to Guangdong Prefecture, stabilized the situation, and then slowly developed, and the financial revenue increased sharply.

This is because there are not many major wars, the trade routes are open, and Zhang Qiang sold and captured the materials of the Qing army and the Southern Ming Kingdom on a large scale, and obtained the treasury income of the prefectures and counties on the territory of the Southern Ming Kingdom, which relieved the financial pressure.

Today, the population of the Huaxia Army has reached 50 million, which is the effect achieved after merging half of Huzhou, Jiangxi, Fujian, Anhui, Suzhou, and Guangdong.

The annual income of the Huaxia Army has reached 150 million Huaxia Yuan, and it can easily take care of those newly occupied territories.

However, if you can not subsidize, you will not subsidize, leave more spare funds for the Huaxia Army, and do more practical things for the people.

With the gradual expansion of education, the children of poor families have been extended to receive free teaching by the Chinese Army, and many middle-aged people have begun to attend free night schools.

They have also begun to read and write, and the acceptance of the Huaxia Army by the common people in the territory of the Huaxia Army is getting higher and higher, and now the Qing Army and the Ming Dynasty want to play the trick of competing for the hearts of the people with the Huaxia Army.

One is that the border management of the Huaxia Army is extremely strict, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter and exit the border except for merchants and troops.

The other is that the Huaxia Army will never be soft, and if it is good for the Qing Army, it will be imprisoned if it is caught, and it will sit with its family, and if it is good, all benefits will be cancelled, and they will not be able to go to free schools, they will not be able to enter the government to serve, and they will go to the business to halve, and they will have to go to the government for filing and inspection at any time, and if they have bad intentions, they will be arrested and imprisoned immediately.

Then there is the kind of head shape of the Qing Dynasty that cannot be seen on the territory of the Huaxia army, even if it is a pot lid head or a small braid, it will be captured by the Qing army, this time it is not to be imprisoned, but to be sent to the prisoner camp and serve.

At the same time, those who report will be rewarded, and there will be a reward for reporting, and a reward of 100 yuan will be awarded.

In the territory of the Huaxia Army, they could not see the circulation of silver and silver, but only the circulation of Huaxia Yuan, which made them slowly accept the rule of the Huaxia Army and get used to this kind of rule.

Man is an environmental animal, what environment you give him, he will gradually adapt to what environment, and those who do not adapt to the environment will starve to death.

There is high pressure, or there is a big stick and a turnip, how can the people still think about the benefits of others?

As the war continued, the Huaxia Army gradually reduced the army in the core area, so that the people forgot about the war, in addition to the main garrison in the core area, some military restricted areas, the militia has been transferred out, the garrison has become the mainstream, the garrison has gradually decreased, and the responsibilities have changed to the responsibilities of the police.

At present, most of the field brigades have been mobilized to the territory occupied by the Huaxia Army in Anhui Prefecture and Suzhou, and the militia has also moved to several important border areas bordering other forces, and it is difficult to see the militia in the interior.

Only in the key areas of the mountains, there are still some militia and garrison troops stationed in the passes to prevent the enemy's infiltration and sabotage.

There are no militia or combat units in Fujian Prefecture except for other places along the coast, and of course, there are still some places where the correctional battalions are stationed, but where there are many areas where things are frequent, some militia and garrison troops have to be arranged, and even some small units of the field brigade and the Guards Brigade are stationed.

In order to make room for the people in the territory to make room for jobs, the core areas and some areas that have been naturalized, there are no more prisoner camps and punishment camps, prisoners and hard labor, and the felons are gradually transferred to the newly occupied areas, building roads and cities in those areas, dredging rivers, digging coal, mining, they do not take wages, and the people go to the core areas of the minerals, mountains and forests, are to pay wages, through labor to obtain their own living materials, earn their own wealth, is advocated by the Chinese army.

Another half a month passed, where Xiao Fei and Gu Yuesheng were constantly fighting, the Huaxia Army fought against the Anyway Army, the rebel army, He Tengjiao's Ming army, and Li Guo's loyal battalion at the same time, and they also had to build prefectures and counties in the occupied areas, relieve the people, and arrest opponents.

However, Huguang has gradually shaken off the shadow of war, the people have returned to their homes, militia units have been established, village guards have also been established, garrison troops have gradually been put in place, officials have grasped the rights of the entire territory of Huguangzhou, and are implementing the policy of occupying the area.

The prisoners and hard laborers mobilized from the rear were in place one after another, and 100,000 hard laborers entered Huguang, opened mountains and paved roads, repaired cities, dug fortifications on the border, and built cities, mainly in the face of Yunguizhou, which was still in turmoil, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking from which direction, Tang Dianfeng arranged a field brigade there, and the field brigade was a newly built 25th field brigade built by the rear garrison regiment plus militia troops, plus the backbone soldiers and generals drawn from the 1st Guards Brigade.

The militia units drawn from other places were broken up and incorporated into field brigades, or into the newly established militia units in Huguang and Guangzhou, and even some of the wounded of the field brigades who had been wounded in early combat were put at the level of village guards to control the troops and support local construction.

Since the fighting on the sea was basically gone, Zhang Qiang transferred some of the originally assigned field brigades and militia backbones from the naval division, and even a complete marine corps of 3,000 people, and formed the 26th Field Brigade, which was stationed in the border area between Huguang and Guangxi Prefecture to take care of the Southern Ming Kingdom.

The two newly formed field brigades, plus the 24th Field Brigade on the border between Huguang and Hubei Prefecture, and the three troops, plus the 1st Guards Brigade, ensured the safety of Huguang and the enemy in three directions at the same time.

Soon, the Third Guards Brigade came to Changsha Mansion, Zhang Qiang took the First Guards Brigade into Wuhan Mansion, Hubei Prefecture, and Gu Yuesheng will make peace, his Guards First Brigade is no longer full due to the repeated transfer of manpower, considering that the Third Guards Brigade has brother units, not so many soldiers and horses, Zhang Qiang from the Third Guards Brigade originally transferred from the First Guards Brigade, plus some newly trained elites, so that the First Guards Brigade is full, and reached 16,000 soldiers and horses.

At this time, the 1st Guards Brigade could no longer be called a brigade, and it was more appropriate to call it a division.

Soon Zhang Qiang gave an order to let the 1st Guards Brigade upgrade its establishment and number, and changed its name to the 1st Guards Division.

Two brigades were established, the original 1st Guards Brigade was 6,500 soldiers and horses, and the 2nd Guards Brigade was 6,500 soldiers and horses, and at the same time, the artillery brigade was independent and organized into the 1st Guards Artillery Brigade with a strength of 1,000 troops, and the cavalry was 1,000 men from the 1st Guards Cavalry Brigade.

The original 2nd Guards Brigade was changed to the 3rd Guards Brigade, and the original 3rd Guards Brigade was changed to the 4th Guards Brigade. However, the number of troops and horses remained unchanged, and it remained at 11,000 troops.

While marching, the troops were reorganized, and the soldiers and horses were transferred to supplement the 1st Guards Division, and at the same time the 4th Guards Brigade, that is, the original 3rd Guards Brigade, and the troops and horses were of course drawn from various field brigades.

The field brigade was transferred from the first brigade to the 10th brigade, which had previously been formed, had various combat experience, and had been tested on the battlefield.

As for the manpower of the field brigade that was transferred, it was supplemented from the 11th Brigade to the 20th Brigade in the back.

These brigades are supplemented by garrisons in the core areas.

After half a month of adjustment, replenishment, and marching, a week after arriving in Wuhan Prefecture, the 1st Guards Division was formed, and its combat effectiveness and equipment were improved.

Because of the war, the Huaxia army became stronger and stronger, and the enemy became weaker and weaker, and only the Huaxia army could obtain this kind of war dividend.
