Chapter 495: Another Harvest Season
A month later, as He Tengjiao Yongli Daming in Hubei Prefecture retreated on his own like Li Guo, the entire territory of Hubei Prefecture fell into the hands of the Huaxia Army.
The Huaxia Army lasted five months, from planning, to preparation, to gathering troops and waiting for opportunities, to sudden invasion, to constantly mobilizing troops, encircling and intercepting, and after suffering some small losses, it completely occupied the two prefectures of Huguang and Hubei, extended its own forces from the south bank of the Yangtze River to the north bank of the Yangtze River, deeply penetrated the heart of the Qing army, completely divided the two battlefields of the Qing army, and led to the infighting of the Qing army, and successfully and exceeded the task of the second stage.
successfully forced away the loyal battalion of Li Guodashun's army and the Ming army led by He Tengjiao of Yongli Daming, and also eliminated Chen Youzheng, the leader of the anyway army, and forced Hong Chengchou to rebel against the Qing army and fall to the Ming army of Lu Guo.
However, the master has created a new series of problems.
The territory has expanded, and more troops are needed to defend and defend the enemy.
As a result, three new field brigades were formed, and at the same time, two large army groups that needed to be maintained to confront the enemy appeared in the Huaxia Army.
The increase in the maintenance cost of the troops and the increase in the number of civilian officials were used to establish the local political power of the Huaxia Army, which incurred huge expenses from another aspect and deepened the financial burden of the Huaxia Army.
The Huaxia Army has more enemies.
Since the Southern Ming Army did not have the enemy of the Qing Army, the legitimate and legal dispute with the Huaxia Army became more obvious, and the Southern Ming Army had the potential to become the enemy of the Huaxia Army.
The division of the Eastern and Western Qing Army, resulting in the reduction of the Qing Army, the enemy of the Yongli Ming Dynasty, is equivalent to the realization of the help of the Yongli Ming Army, so that the Yongli Ming Army, which is already in danger, breathed a sigh of relief, the Yongli Ming Army has always been cold to the Chinese Army, except for Li Dingguo, but the mind of Li Dingguo's Ministry can not be speculated, Li Dingguo's cunning is recognized by the world, maybe next, the legitimacy of the Yongli Ming and the Huaxia Army will also be brought to the forefront, adding an enemy to the Huaxia Army.
Lu Guoming's army has always been ambiguous with the Huaxia army, Hong Chengchou's Qing army's surrender made the Lu Guoming army also become stronger, and it is the closest, most powerful, and urgent opponent that the Huaxia army needs to face, Lu and the Huaxia army also have a legitimate orthodox dispute, after all, they are also the descendants of the Zhu family, and they are born with the right to legally inherit the territory of the Ming Dynasty, at least more orthodox than the Huaxia army.
He Tengjiao's concession and strategic transfer, although it could not pose a threat to the Huaxia Army for a while, it could be troublesome later.
Li Guo's retreat, retreat, and escape, although the Qing army was threatened, but let him ally with He Tengjiao and Hong Chengchou, which became an iron belt between the Huaxia army and the Qing army, and they still needed to continue to beat them in order to hit the Qing army of the Dajin State behind them, as well as the Qing army of the Great Qing State.
After that, the main opponent of the original Huaxia Army was the Qing Army of the Great Qing Kingdom, and now it has become the Dajin Kingdom and the Great Qing Kingdom, but they are no longer the main opponents, but some secondary opponents, and they will be potential opponents of the Huaxia Army before the two sides decide the winner.
Sometimes Zhang Qiang really doesn't know what to do, why is he so muddy, making a good situation like this, making the whole world an enemy.
Isn't this a virtue with Lao Mei?
The pit man ended up pit himself.
always wanted to be low-key, low-key, and always wanted to make the enemy weaker, but the enemy became stronger and stronger, and he became the old Jiang during the Republic of China.
It's really helpless, it's really incomprehensible, and I can't think about it, so Zhang Qiang has no choice but to put these down.
It was Gu Yuesheng who brought him good news.
In addition to the 100,000 stubborn and stubborn captives that were forcibly brought into Hubei Prefecture, or the captive army that had not yet reached the time of their release, he captured 300,000 prisoners on his side, that is, the people who were coerced left by Li Guo, although there were many casualties in the battle, but we Chinese people He is not a fool, many people have fled, fled, and as soon as the war stopped, some people returned to their hometowns, and some people were captured from the mountains and horns, and then these 300,000 people became 300,000 again.
In addition, 20,000 of the tens of thousands of elites left by Li Guo were also captured and imprisoned as prisoners.
In the other half of Hubei Prefecture, the area ruled by He Tengjiao, another 100,000 prisoners were captured, including soldiers, and those ruffians and hooligans, who stubbornly wanted to resist the Huaxia Army, the righteous division of the Huangqing Dynasty, and the Diao people of the Huangming, and now the construction of Hubei Prefecture has sufficient population and troops.
With a total strength of 450,000 captives, the army of captives was really the best candidate for the construction of Hubei Prefecture.
However, the militia of 20,000 or 30,000 people, plus an army of tens of thousands, is now without combat mission, and it is very busy just to take care of these prisoners and restore the homes of the people in the territory.
The Huaxia Army, which was rich in construction experience, soon arranged these captives and the people who had survived to various places in Hubei Prefecture within a month, and restored the livelihood of the people in the administrative areas of each locality.
In two months, these two places, which had been fighting endlessly a few months ago, became a peaceful and united harmonious paradise for the Chinese army.
In less than three months, the population of these backward prefectures, plus one Jiangxi prefecture, reached a total population base of 8 million.
Within half a year, the population of these three prefectures reached 10 million, completely reducing the population burden of Zhejiang and Fujian prefectures.
At the same time, the village guards were eliminated, the number of militias was reduced, the number of garrisons was increased, and a large number of militias were reinstated or transferred to the three states to defend and build them.
At the same time, there was also a part of the population that flowed to Guangdong, Guangxi, and the population of the Southern Ming Kingdom reached 7 million people.
After the capture of Li Guo, He Tengjiao, and Chen Youzheng, there were countless materials, countless grains and grasses, and 20 million taels of gold and silver.
Rice warehouses are full, gold and silver warehouses are full, population growth, business is prosperous, there are no bandits, there are no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, even the most group of families can let their children go to school, even if they can't participate in the imperial examination of the Huaxia Army, they can also go to a shop as an apprentice after learning some knowledge, and finally embark on the road of commerce, or at least maintain the life of the family, marry a wife and have children, and continue the bloodline, which is not so difficult under the rule of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The Huaxia army gained the hearts and prestige of the people and established a powerful imperial dynasty.
Unconsciously, the time came to the summer of 1657, and the Huaxia army ushered in a bad news, Li Dingguo defeated Burma, withdrew his troops back to Yunnan Prefecture, and Emperor Yongli was beheaded by Bai Mang.
Yongli Daming perished.
