In this brilliant victory on 13 March, Suining not only captured 2,000 thieves' heads, but Yang He also took the opportunity to extort 150,000 taels of silver, 4,000 stones of grain and rice, and 80 artillery pieces from Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, and Wang Long. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even the last ambush battle, the harvest during the sentry inspection, there were 80,000 taels of silver, 1,200 stone of grain and beans, more than 1,000 horses and mules, and other incomes - more than 500 horses in the civil war, more than 600 horses, mules, and donkeys, and more than 20 healthy cattle.

There are also more than 170 pairs of cotton armor that can be used, and many vehicles and other baggage have been seized.

Calculated in this way, Yang He has made a lot of money from the eastward Liukou twice, and it can be described as a complete victory.

After cleaning the battlefield, he also obtained a large number of swords, guns, bows and arrows, more than 130 pairs of relatively intact cotton armor, more than 100 dead horses, and quite a lot of baggage vehicles, etc., all of which were useful.

After the thieves retreated, they inspected the camp of the thieves, and the ground was full of filth, with human corpses in between, and more than 2,500 women and children left behind by the thieves, and more than 3,000 women from the hungry people who were rescued.

These people will be taken by Yang He to the north bank for resettlement, and then the corpses will be buried in the place, etc., for many days.

Yang He took stock of the harvest, not to mention the silver, grain and grass, and the eighty artillery pieces he extorted made him very interested.

These guns were all Franc cannons, with 30 No. 1 Franc machines with 1 pound of bullets, 50 No. 2 and 3 small Franc machines with 10 taels or 5 taels of projectiles, and some Falcon gun types, mounted on wheels or four-legged stools.

Yang He inspected these artillery pieces and temporarily selected fifteen Falcon cannons to use, so that the artillery of his artillery team reached twenty, including five No. 2 Franc machines with 10 taels of projectiles, and 15 No. 3 Franc machines with 5 taels of projectiles.

The main thing is that he lacks veteran gunners, and the way his artillery team uses it is to treat the artillery in the team as a large arquebus, and put it within 100 paces, or even 50 paces, to aim straight and shoot.

Therefore, Yang He only chose falcon guns, and used "convex-shaped" sub-guns. When the gun is fired, the air leaks directly upward, which will not hurt the gunner next to it, and it also temporarily saves the gunner's ballistic training, and if he can shoot an arquebus, he will shoot this kind of artillery.

The newly selected falcon guns Yang He ordered the transformation, all of which used gun carriages, wheels, and guards, and in addition to the gunners of each gun, they were also equipped with horse-drawn guns, horse-drawn carts, and other ammunition to carry sub-guns.

The artillery team has a hundred people, and the horses are basically equipped with mules, and this kind of livestock has strong endurance, great strength, and average food.

The rest of the artillery was temporarily placed, and after the technicians were in place, they were slowly transformed, and the children and mothers were changed to a suitable "convex" style.

Gao Qifeng and the others didn't say anything about these artillery, and let Yang He deal with them, but after the good news was sent out on the 14th, how to distribute the captured silver, grain and grass was something that the officials were very concerned about.

Compared with the previous ambush battle, the acquisition of these silver grains and grasses was in plain sight.

Yang He is not good to swallow alone, and he has no intention of swallowing alone, after all, eating alone will cause public anger.

Giving up some benefits and obtaining a lot of convenience in things, Yang He thinks it is worth it, and it can also unite many people around him.

After some discussion, Yang He Xin'an Army made the greatest contribution, and he also had to take in hungry people, so he benefited the most.

In the harvest, 4,000 stones of grain and rice extorted from Liukou, 80 artillery pieces belonged to the side of Yanghe, 150,000 taels of silver he also took 100,000 taels, and the remaining 50,000 taels of silver belonged to Gao Qifeng's Suining County Ya.

In the agreement, the county government will obtain 50,000 taels of silver, and Gao Qifeng will take out 20,000 taels of dividends for each official, reward the social soldiers, and make dots up and down.

The rest of the silver, Gao Qifeng intends to use it as the development fund of Suining City.

He has decided to leave his own heavy mark in Suining County, that is, after leaving, the people of Suining City will not forget him.

He plans to use this silver to pave all the streets of Suining City with bluestone slabs, and even the walls of the city wall with bricks, and then the roads leading to Pizhou, Xin'anzhuang on the north bank, Suqian, and Tonglingbi will also be overhauled, and all of them will be paved with gravel roads.

If these things are successful, Gao Qifeng can indeed leave a heavy mark in Suining County, and it can also be spread by the local gentry and people.

However, such a large-scale construction project also cost a lot of money by recruiting migrant workers, but fortunately, in addition to this silver, Gao Qifeng also has a source of stolen money.

Yang He had agreed with him that in addition to rewarding the righteous people, compensating the sufferers, chasing the abducted children, and allocating funds to the almshouse, the rest of the wealth and silk could be transferred to the surplus silver, which was also a very large amount.

During the discussion, the confiscated stolen property will be graded and graded, except for those who commit the most heinous crimes, such as fraud, some head-hunting gangsters will catch the villains viciously, and the ordinary people will not confiscate all their property, but will leave basic expenses and shelter for their families.

But even so, I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of taels of silver in all kinds of surpluses.

After calculating it before and after, Gao Qifeng has a lot of money in his hands, so he is full of confidence, and even the future summer tax and autumn grain do not have to worry.

With these surplus silver in hand, he can do something in Suining County.

Seeing that he is a person who wants to do things, Yang He will fulfill him.

……

On the 15th it rained, and although it was only half an hour, the road became muddy.

However, the people walking on the streets are still smiling, and the remnants of firecrackers celebrating the victory can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of Suining.

Many people still had a relaxed look on their faces, and they suddenly found that not only did the shadow of the trapped city dissipate, but the street villains disappeared, and the place was more peaceful, making people feel at peace with their whole body and mind.

This peace and tranquility is unprecedented, and everyone prays for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas in the hope that this peace and tranquility will be maintained forever.

A large number of young and strong soldiers came and went to the west gate, the battlefield outside, and the camp of the rogue robbers, who needed to be disposed of and buried, and each of them not only had wages, but many people also found a different amount of silver and wealth from time to time when dealing with the battlefield.

This made everyone feel strange in their hearts, and for the first time, they felt that fighting a war was not only about breaking money, but everyone could also get rich.

Two days ago, Lord Yang, the head of Lian, forced the thieves to leave 150,000 taels of silver as a matter of buying road money, and it was also spread in Suining City as early as the streets, and the people were amazed.

The thieves attacked the city and conquered the city, invincible, but capsized in the small gutter of Suining County, afraid that after going back, everyone would cry to death.

The people talked about this matter, of course, they were not envious of the wealth obtained by Lord Yang and others, and it would be good if everyone could have wages and some silver in their pockets.

At the same time, after this great victory, the people felt unprecedented security, and their minds became more and more settled.

Yang He's prestige in Suining City became more and more famous, and both the government and the people were in awe of him.

At this time, in the barracks, Yang He was rewarding the soldiers and rewarding them for their meritorious deeds.

"The first and third teams of soldiers, and Li Dayin, the second team soldier, will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver according to merit, and the meritorious service is worth fifteen points."

"The second general team of soldiers, the first team deputy Guan Feng, according to merit, the reward is thirty taels of silver, and the meritorious service is worth twenty points."

"The second team of the soldiers, the second team, the deputy Hu Yansheng, according to the merit, the reward is thirty taels of silver, and the merit is worth twenty points."

"The cavalry team of the Chinese army, the deputy Qian Guse, according to the merit, the reward is fifty taels of silver, and the meritorious service is worth fifty points."

"The cavalry team of the Chinese army, Li Ruwan, the first commander, according to the merit, the reward is fifty taels of silver, and the merit is worth forty points......"

There was still some residual rain, the wind swept the flags, the soldiers of the two corps, as well as the teams of the Chinese army, all stood up in the barracks.

They all wore mandarin duck battle jackets, the officers were exposed red, the soldiers were exposed green, wearing winter felt, wearing thick cloaks, the officers were red, the soldiers were gray, and they were neatly arrayed, quite solemn.

In front of them, Yang He stood, he had taken off his armor, only in civilian clothes, royal blue soft-footed head, purple cocoon silk armor, wearing a black cloak with a mink fur collar and a horse chopping knife that had been given to him by the waves, and just looked at his soldiers with a smile.

They are still wearing winter clothes, but the weather is getting warmer, and they will soon have to change into summer clothes.

At this time, only the officer Zhang Songtao and the captain of the guard Chen Qiuao hugged him, and then Zhang Songtao announced that one by one the meritorious soldiers came up to receive the reward.

Yang He smiled and took the tray from Chen Qiuao's hand from time to time, which contained a silver reward and a thick meritorious medal, which were all bronze for the time being, with meritorious points engraved on them, and handed them over to the rewarded soldiers one by one.

This is a new system that he carefully considered and implemented after the year, rewarding silver and meritorious service.

After the war, there was a silver reward, but the maximum was 50 taels, and there was no upper limit on the merit value.

In the Yanghe regulations, meritorious service is not only an important consideration for promotion, but also an important weapon for exchanging physical materials, which can be exchanged for money, land, houses, and even good horses and good guns in the future.

The merit value is very precious, according to the calculation regulations of Yang River, a little merit value can be exchanged for one acre of good land.

Therefore, the introduction of this system aroused great interest from all over the army, and at this time, 50 representatives of officers and men who had made outstanding achievements in battle came up to receive the awards, and all of them were very excited.

Li Dayin, who was a farmer in the original Zhancheng market, strode over, he took the tray, looked at the twenty-two taels of silver with white flowers on it, and the thick bronze medal for meritorious service, and couldn't help but tremble all over his body.

Yinzi said that after joining the army, Bai Huahua's silver was not seen once or twice, but this meritorious medal means that fifteen acres of fertile land have been obtained?

Li Dayin has been in Xin'anzhuang for a long time, so he naturally knows what Xin'anzhuang's fertile land represents, which is a fertile land that consumes Yang Xianggong's countless energy, money, and water conservancy and fertilizer.

Such fertile land is afraid of reaching the multiple of fertile land outside.

With this meritorious medal, regardless of whether you are discharged from the army or not, you can receive the fertile land after three years, or at most five years, and pass it on to future generations.

You don't even need to farm by yourself, you just need to pay what agency fees, and what personal income tax, and sit on dividends every year.

Looking at the silver and bronze medals, for a while, he joined the army only out of the consideration of saving food at home, and entered the army, just to eat enough, fight desperately, just to make two more pieces of meat in the bowl, "Li Erstunned" had red eyes, and roared hoarsely: "Loyalty!" ”

Yang He smiled slightly, his eyes were deep: "May you use your sword to protect my manor, and use your sword to open up my land!" ”

He had enclosed land on the north shore, and all but some of the land inherent in the village belonged to him.

He also divided the land into different categories, such as industrial, commercial, and agricultural land, and purchased from him whatever land he wanted to use when he came under his rule.

No one will cherish what he gives for nothing, he believes in the spirit of contract and equivalent exchange, so under his rule, he divided the land for free, and even provided cattle seeds, and helped build water conservancy.

If you want to get something, you have to get it through your own labor, or at some other cost.

One by one, the representatives of the soldiers came up excitedly, and the soldiers below also saw that they were very hot, and everyone was looking forward to it, in addition to glory, there were benefits, how could it not make people yearn for it?

However, those who come up have great merits, and the rest of the people may only have a silver reward, or maybe the merits do not exceed ten points, so they have no chance to come up.

"The cavalry of the Chinese army, the deputy Qian Guse!"

Zhang Songtao reported another name, and everyone's eyes saw Qian Sanniang, some were different, and some admired.

In the cavalry array, the ninth master also looked at his daughter, with a proud and satisfied look on his face.

Qian Sanniang raised her head slightly, her eyes under the felt hat were clear, bright and joyful, and she seemed to have a proud aura. She strode over with a heavy sword, and with two handcuffs, one left and one right, conspicuous, and set off the tall figure more and more curved.

She strode along, her cloak flying, her posture cold and graceful, and her black fluffed soft riding boots stepped on the ground vigorously, and she was sassy.

Yang He sighed in his heart, the model can walk her steps, but it is definitely not as heroic as her aura.

This is the difference between a woman at the top of the food chain and a woman at the bottom.

He was also pleased to find that this woman had become more and more confident.

In the twisting of her waist, Qian Sanniang soon came to the side, cold and clear like a snow lotus, and unconsciously brought great pressure to the men.

Especially she is tall and has long legs, one meter seven tall, when she passes by many men, there is always a kind of unnaturalness, fortunately Yang He is one meter seven five tall, this woman stands in front of him, and looks coordinated.

She came to Yang He, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, she seemed to look at Yang He, and she didn't, she flicked the black cloak behind her, knelt down on one knee, clasped her hands into fists, and said: "Subordinate Qian Guse, I have seen Yang Xianggong." ”

Yang He smiled and said, "Please get up." ”

Qian Sanniang stood up, her eyes couldn't help but glance, looking at Yang Xianggong's eyes in front of her, which seemed to be confusing, her heart trembled.

Yang He observed her, and it was the first time he looked at her so closely, seeing that her temperament was cold, but simple, clean, and contained a hint of shyness.

Cold, just her shell, her heart is also moving.

sighed again, this leg is terrible, thinking of Ah Yun, that leg is also going to kill people, it's just ......

After all, I still can't go back, even my body has changed, and I can only start a new life in this world.

He looked at her, Qian Sanniang was standing, under Yang He's gaze, her eyelashes trembled, she seemed to be ashamed, she seemed to be happy, and she seemed to be apprehensive.

Her cheeks were flushed, and she couldn't help but glance at Yang He again.

Chen Qiuao and Zhang Songtao glanced at each other, and Chen Qiuao stepped forward and gave the tray to Yang He.

Yang He smiled: "Very good, keep up the good work." ”

handed over the tray, Qian Sanniang took it, the two fingers inadvertently touched, Qian Sanniang's arm trembled slightly, and her heart was like a deer jumping wildly.

She froze, glanced at Yang He deeply, and said, "I will." ”

Her eyes flowed, still cold, but there seemed to be something to support her faith, her eyes had a divine light, and she flicked the cloak behind her and strode back.

Then Li Ruwan came up, triumphant, swaggering, there were more than two people walking alone, looking at her, Yang He couldn't help but think of the crab.

……

After the meritorious deeds, Yang He gathered the generals to discuss the matter, and the above good news and rewards were not something that could be done for a while, so it was better to be busy with their own affairs first.

There is a council hall in the barracks, which is quite large, and there are long desks and chairs in it, and Yang He recruited all the general-level officers to discuss here, and he decided that after Suining's affairs were decided, he would go back to the north bank.

Staying in Xin'an Zhuang Qi Youxin sent people to report, a group of technicians came, quite a number of smelters, it seems that the gear and other problems have come to solve, Yang He thinks that water power can be used, and the production of firearms and armor can be accelerated in the future.

Yesterday, the yellow steward came to congratulate the victory, and also mentioned that there were technicians in the merchant goods, which made Yang He happy.

Now his production capacity in Xin'anzhuang is 100 new guns per month, and there are only 10 pairs of iron armor a month, or 20 pairs of iron-inlaid cotton armor, which can greatly meet the needs of his military expansion.

But there is no way, in his Xin'an Village, even Li Tiannan's sister and Yu blacksmith's granddaughter, there are only fifteen blacksmiths, and they are grouped, with only eight people in the firearms workshop and seven people in the weapons workshop.

In the previous ambush battle, more than 50 rogue craftsmen and 25 blacksmiths were captured, which could greatly replenish the manpower.

However, Yang He believes that in the future, if the production of Xin'an Gong cannot exceed 300 strokes a month, and the production capacity reaches 3 or 4,000 strokes a year, then his prospects are worrying.

It seems that the use of hydraulic power is inevitable, and the production capacity of Xin'an Gong must reach at least 300 rods per month, and 3,500 rods a year.

The armor system should also be accelerated, and the armor rate under his command must be increased.

You must know that one of his future opponents, Qing Bing, has a chance of reaching three soldiers and one armor.

There are more than 100,000 people in the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, and there are tens of thousands of armored soldiers, which is an astonishing number, at least in the Ming Dynasty, the number of armored soldiers ranks first.

This slave barbarian tribal country, after many years of operation, at least militarily, has a very rich heritage.

Yang He has actually been worried in his heart, but the technology is easy to say, and the craftsman is hard to find, but fortunately, there are technicians coming, and all aspects of parts, technology, etc., can be solved slowly, so that the use of hydraulic power is feasible.

In addition to weapons, there is also the expansion of military power.

With a large amount of gold, silver, grain and grass seized, Yang He expanded his military strength and gained confidence.

At the beginning of the year, his plan was to plan that by the end of this year, the strength of Xin'anzhuang would reach 3,000 people.

But at that time, his inventory was only 100,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels of grain, rice and 10,000 stones, and the budget for a year was full, so after taking in the hungry, it greatly exceeded the budget.

Not to mention where the money and food for next year's development will come from.

Now, this problem has been effectively mitigated.

However, the expansion of military strength requires a source of soldiers, and the population of the north bank is 10,000, more than 2,300 young and strong, 4,500 soldiers have been recruited, and more than 1,000 workers have been recruited.

Fortunately, the north shore sheltered the hungry people, and the number of people before and after was about 3,000, and the rogue was defeated here, and 3,000 women, old and young, were rescued.

The 6,000 hungry people should be able to elect a part and recruit troops from Suining City and Pizhou, and the military personnel at this stage should be satisfied.

For the time being, Yang He only planned to expand the strength of the army to six generals, and there were 100 artillery teams, 130 cavalry teams, and 55 sentinel teams.

The grenadier squad was also enlarged to a full force of 55 men, and the baggage squad was expanded to a total of 230 men.

The medical team was expanded to a full capacity of 55 people......

According to various calculations, the number of troops is more than 2,000.

But in fact, this military quota is only on paper, because many types of troops are not easy to solve, such as cavalry and sentinels.

And he went back to the north bank, Suining needs someone to guard it, Yang He once asked Minister Yang if he was interested in Suining to practice the general position, Minister Yang's head shook like a rattle, he said: "Where is the young master, I am there, I am not separated from the young master." ”

So for the time being, Yang He plans to let Han Daxia garrison Suining.

The place where he is stationed will also change slightly, adding trumpeters, praise paintings, and doctors, and five guards will become a ten-man horse, and there will be 20 baggage teams, 20 artillery teams, and 3 internal artillery. Of all kinds of personnel, the final number of guards was estimated at 280.

As for the officers of each general, Yang He planned to take Minister Yang as the general commander, with a strength of 230 troops.

With Han Daxia as the second commander-in-chief, he guarded the place with a strength of 280 people.

With Han Guan'er as the three commanders, the total number of troops is 230 people.

With Luo Xianjue as the four commanders, the total number of troops is 230 people.

With Yang Qian as the total of five generals, the number of troops is 230 people.

With Zhang Songtao as the total commander of the sixth, the strength of the army is also 230 people.

Cui Lu, the former grenadier captain, served as the captain of the artillery team, enjoying the general treatment, with a strength of 100 people and 20 artillery pieces.

Chang Rusong, the deputy of the original grenadier team, served as the captain of the grenadier team, enjoyed the treatment of the general rank, and had a strength of 55 people.

is still the captain of the cavalry team with the ninth master, enjoying the general treatment, with a strength of 230 people.

He is still the captain of the sentry team, enjoying the treatment of the general rank, and the strength of 55 people.

He still served as the captain of the baggage team with Sheng Santang, enjoying the treatment of the general rank, with a strength of 230 people.

Zhang Zhugong was transferred to the rank of lieutenant officer.
