Chapter Ninety-Two: Territory Expansion, Strength Rises Again
Jin Sheng has a very strong memory, and he can tell Zhang Qiang eloquently without carrying an account book, and when he heard Zhang Qiang ask about the data on the resettlement of the people, he immediately said: "My lord, before we had a population of 10,000 in Jinhua Mansion, and later before you led the army to conquer Taizhou Mansion, there were 150,000 people and 17,000 soldiers, and now, Jinhua Mansion alone has a population of 430,000 people, a population of 80,000 in the city, a population of 30,000 in the surrounding villages and towns, a population of 50,000 in the surrounding counties, and a population of 270,000 in the distant counties and villages. On average, each county in the distance has a population of more than 27,000 people, and the rural population has a population of more than 19,000 people. ”
"Well, what about the placement job?"
Jin Sheng helped Zhang Qiang down the river embankment and walked along the riverside, "At present, the displaced people account for 100,000 people, most of these people are in Fucheng and the surrounding areas, but the remaining 330,000 people, basically according to the resettlement method reported by the above Weichen, have resettled 210,000 people, and the remaining 90,000 people, still unsettled, it is really too few acres of land in a prefecture, and many people can't afford to buy acres, they are also refugees who have just returned to Jinhua Mansion, some people do not obey the resettlement, so they stay in the capital or county seat, I want you to return their original fields and properties. ”
Zhang Qiang picked up a pebble, turned to the river, watched the pebble slip over the river, jumped five times, and then disappeared and fell into the water, making a fluttering sound, causing a circle of ripples and splashing.
A flock of waterfowl was startled, fluttered, and with some splashes, flew into the air and made an exclamation sound.
Clapping his hands, "Let's build roads, pave bridges, build embankments, dig ditches, divert water, if those people dare to make trouble and make trouble, they will be arrested, this expedition, although a lot of prisoners have been captured, but the manpower is still too little, let them help the people of Jinhua, this is my territory, what I say, they have to do what I say, otherwise, they are my enemies, I will never be merciful to my enemies." ”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Jin Sheng, Jin Sheng and Zhang Qiang's eyes matched, and he immediately trembled and lowered his head.
But he still said strongly: "My lord, you can't do this, you have to think about them, otherwise it will cause public anger, and the foundation we have worked so hard to build will be ruined." ”
Zhang Qiang clasped his hands on his shoulders, shook his head and said: "They fled at the beginning, not I wanted to let them go, I brought the soldiers back, and they ran back to pick up the bargain, how can there be such a good thing, either buy it with money, or just - get out, I don't serve them." ”
Jin Sheng was still a little unwilling, and continued to persuade: "My lord, they are all village gentry, and they still have a lot of influence in this place, if you make trouble with your lord, many people will follow them, which is not good for your rule." ”
Zhang Qiang kicked the dogtail grass by the river, "It's okay, didn't I ask you to disrupt and resettle the villagers of the same village or clan?" They wanted to make trouble, but they couldn't gather too many people, and my garrison force had been expanded to a thousand households in each county, more than 1,000 people, and the soldiers of Jinhua and Taizhou were exchanged.
The soldiers of Taizhou Mansion were stationed in Jinhua Mansion, and the soldiers of Jinhua Mansion were stationed in Taizhou Mansion to prevent them from colluding with landlords and squires, and the possibility of their cooperation was reduced to a minimum. The key is that you do your own thing, be vigilant, and don't let them take advantage of the loopholes. ”
Wei Wuji came on horseback with the guards, jumped off the war horse, and ran down the river embankment, "My lord." ”
"Well, you're here, Tongzhi Ren, and you're still doing it?" Zhang Qiang asked.
Wei Wuji smiled, smiling very happily, "My lord, thank you for your support, with Lord Jin's help, I don't have much to do, so I can barely get by." ”
Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, and said to Wei Wuji earnestly: "Pay attention to the rebels among the people, observe their attitude towards us, don't be careless, cooperate with Lord Jin, and build Jinhua Mansion into a stable rear base for us, only in this way can I rest assured that I will lead the troops out to fight." ”
Wei Wuji said: "My lord, the next time you go on an expedition, can you take me with you, although this Tongzhi is very comfortable, but it is also a little boring, the villain still thinks that he can follow the horse in front of the adult's saddle, even if it is to lead the horse and block the arrow, the villain is also willing." ”
Zhang Qiang knew that this was Wei Wuji showing loyalty, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, Wei Wuji bent over, hung his shoulders, took the initiative to come to Zhang Qiang, and let him shoot, he was slender and tall, a head taller than Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang patted his shoulder, he immediately made a very casual and easy-going action with a very good eye, which did not highlight Zhang Qiang's figure, but also let Zhang Qiang pat his shoulder smoothly.
After patting him on the shoulder, Zhang Qiang asked casually: "How many garrisons are there in the counties of Jinhua Mansion now?" ”
Wei Wuji said: "My lord, the garrison of Jinhua Mansion City is two thousand households, the original Zhou Daren brought a thousand households and the newly added three hundred households, a total of two full thousand households, and the garrison is personally served by his subordinates. ”
"In addition, the garrison of Longyou County is a thousand households, the garrison there is nominated by me, attached to Lord Jin, and served by a young man named Yang Yangyang who was personally trained by you, this young man was originally a firecracker, and later changed to infantry, a big knife is to splash water and not enter, and also ride a horse, after you conquer the Taizhou capital, the villain sees him well, so he promotes him to the garrison, and he is currently guarding Longyou County, and there is also a thousand households of regular soldiers, which were originally my subordinate troops, and are still under my command."
"Tangxi County, is nominated by Lord Jin, attached to the villain, a child named Gu Yuesheng served, this person followed Lord Jin from Quzhou, Huizhou, not only good literary talent, a good martial arts, especially good at making double hammers, a pair of meteor hammers to make the tiger and tiger vigorous, the villain felt that he could do it, so he ordered him to serve as the garrison of Tangxi County, leading a thousand households of four hundred households that were not under the formation."
"Wucheng is still guarded by two hundred households of infantry, a prisoner team of good performance of the original Ming army guerrilla general led, the villain often patrols there, but there is nothing, Hu Kui took your order to transfer the cavalry of two hundred households, except for the artillery of the general banner you placed, there is only such a small number of troops left."
"In other counties, the garrison strength has also increased from the original two hundred households to three hundred or four hundred households, although these people are not as good as the soldiers, but according to the city wall defense, they can still be competent, unless they are surrounded by enemies several times their size."
Zhang Qiang is very satisfied with his current troop deployment, after calculating the garrison strength of the seven county towns, he has more than 5,000 troops, plus the 2,000 troops in Fucheng, which is more than 7,000 troops, which is almost 9,000 people.
plus the regular soldiers, Wei Wuji, Mi Chun, Mi Lin, Hu Kui, and the regular soldiers led by the three people, with a strength of more than six thousand households, that is fifteen thousand people. It's already good to defend Jinhua Mansion.
Taizhou Mansion has just been taken for less than two months, and more than 20,000 troops have been stationed.
There are Du Ge and Zhou Congee, Xuanyuan Longfei, He Jin, Lin Yangcheng, Zhang Ying, Chen Hanhui, Tang Dianfeng, these people are guarded, and the Qing army does not have several times the strength, so don't want to take it.
I can rest for a while.
This time, his firecrackers will be expanded to 4,000 people, the musketeers will be expanded to 1,000 households, and Zhao Siyang's artillery will be expanded to 300 households, reaching 1,000 households and 300 households, and in the foreseeable future, he will have 50,000 troops, and these troops will have more than 9,000 elite soldiers trained for their absolutely loyal coaching skills, more than 10,000 soldiers with strong combat effectiveness who have been trained by themselves and elite soldiers, and more than 15,000 soldiers who have experienced the war and trained by their subordinates. and more than 20,000 soldiers and garrison soldiers, which are composed of surrendered soldiers and young soldiers, can be said to be strong and strong.
Zhang Qiang felt that he should take another step forward and take down the state capital, and support the three prefectures.
