Chapter 320: The Korean Civilian Guard
Chapter 320: The Korean Civilian Guard
Now Dengzhou has been completely deserted, those refugees who fled to the north were loaded onto ships to transport to North Korea, and now the war in Lunan has slowly burned, but they will choose to be closer to Linjia Island and Shijiu Port in Laizhou.
The Jingshi merchant group now has a representative stationed in Dengzhou, and they originally thought that this refugee from Shandong could completely leave Jiang Feng alone, but after Jiang Feng's warships and soldiers killed a circle in Shijiu Harbor, they immediately came here in a hurry to ask to see Jiang Feng.
The barracks of the Thousand Households in Yantai Mountain are well protected, but they are not so easy to enter, what they did in Shijiu is inherently unspeakable, and it is probably a head-killing business to turn it over, so naturally they don't dare to make too much trouble. But this outflow of population is really a lot, although the Jingshi merchant group got tens of thousands of people in North Korea, but after all, it was the first time to do it, a lot of people died on the ship, and a number of people died in the manor outside the Guan, plus they were killed for resisting, they were killed for escaping, and so many manors were evenly distributed, there are really some monks with more porridge and less porridge.
Everyone knows the land outside the pass, the more people there are, the more land that can be reclaimed, and the greater the profits.
And they are all merciful and like to be captured alive, because after being captured alive they can sell people and earn money.
However, no matter how the people of the Jingshi business group asked to see him, Jiang Feng was closed to the door for the reason of being nervous about preparing for war, Jiang Feng had a clear judgment on this matter, and he captured the Koreans as slaves, that was because the Korean people were weak in morality and culture, and the country had no strength, and those people died without worrying about their relatives.
However, these refugees from Shandong, according to the practice of the Jingshi business group, only asked the young and strong and the children, and left all the old and weak behind. After all, those people are the people of the Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of relationships are inextricably linked, and no one dares to guarantee that after these people go to Guanwai, they will not join forces to sue the officials or make trouble.
Jiang Feng has also heard that the Koreans also have some series of troubles, but they are all killed by the people of the reclamation manor who have the advantage of force, and the corpses are either used to feed the wolves or to fertilize the fields, but if they are also Chinese, they may not dare to do this, not to mention that there are many talents and the like among the people who have fled, these people know the law, and if there is trouble, it will be even more uncontrollable.
Or Dengzhou's method is the safest way, in the name of charity, send people to North Korea, and settle down there, although it is not taxed now, but when the time comes, who will have the most power, who will have the right to speak, Jiang Feng already has 8,000 soldiers there, enough to deter the people.
In the future, Jiang Feng's taxes and military resources are all counting on these refugees, so Jiang Feng's attitude towards refugees can be called good people, of course, the standard of good people at this time is not high, find a peaceful place for those refugees, so that they can have food on the ship, they are considered good people.
From the end of the twelfth year of Jiajing to the beginning of the thirteenth year of Jiajing, Jiang Feng used a large number of ships and spent a lot of money to transport nearly 200,000 refugees to North Korea and settle them.
Except for the four Minwei in the vicinity of Incheon, the rest of the Minwei were arranged in the south of Seoul, and the original Minwei of 5,000 people has now become one Minwei for 1,000 households, and there are now a total of 38 Minwei in the south of Korea, each of which has a guard officer, a regimental training envoy, a revenue and expenditure document, and a peasant official.
The guard officer is the head of the first guard, in charge of large and small affairs, and the regimental training envoy is responsible for civil defense, one person is selected from every three households, and there are 400 people in one civil guard, and the officers of the Jiang family army lead the drill together every day, and the weapons are allocated. The revenue and expenditure clerk was responsible for the distribution and monitoring of the use of various materials, and the agricultural officer was Wisconsin, who had followed the Dutch man, and a few old farmers who had learned corn planting, and of course these people were also quite proficient in the cultivation of other crops.
The population of these thousand households is often divided according to the local personnel of the hometown, and the guard officer is often the respected or simply the patriarch of this big clan among these people, as for the regimental training envoy, the older of the soldiers under Jiang Feng, who are no longer suitable for fighting on the battlefield, these people bring their families to join the people's households, and organize regimental exercises, but the military salary is issued according to the standards of low-level officers in the Dengzhou battalion. Naturally, it can be pulled out and changed into a military uniform.
In Incheon Fortress, which has now become a fortress, the quartermaster of the army is responsible for these people, and the revenue and expenditure clerks are responsible for the distribution and registration of materials for each civil guard.
Although it is said that Shinong industry and commerce are in the order that has been handed down for thousands of years, but agriculture is often ranked behind, Jiang Feng here is really important, Jiang Jiajun must have sufficient logistics, must have their own special and outstanding place, Jiang Feng calculated, corn planting can solve many problems.
I have the impression that the potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts and other things have not yet appeared in Daming, but I have the control of the sea trade, and it is naturally convenient to find these things.
Although the organizational structure of this civil health system is rough, everything is now grass-made, everything is simple, and it is important to stabilize the people's minds.
As for the Koreans who originally lived here, first, the southern part of Korea was originally sacked by the Japanese daimyo of Kyushu, and it was already a semi-abandoned area, and the population could not be said to be dense, and many places could accommodate the population, and second, a large number of officials, families, and slaves of the Shilin faction were cleansed, and many estates were vacant.
At present, the small Korean court is already completely semi-closed, and apart from the orders issued one after another to calm the hearts of the Korean people, there is no understanding of the outside scene.
Wen Dao has been in the city of Zou Cheng for the seventh day, and he still has not broken the city of Zou City, and the men and horses in his hands have already lost more than 1,000 people, although it is estimated that the officers and soldiers and people at the head of the city are also about to reach the limit, but they have to retreat, because the supplies they brought have been used up.
Or to be more precise, it was already used up three days ago, they were already relying on the horse team to loot around to maintain the supply of troops, the remaining more than 3,000 people under Wen Dao were extremely demoralized, Wen Dao was even more discouraged, and even a little desperate, originally thought that he could take Zou Cheng smoothly, and then wave Jining, and then rely on victory to stabilize his position, but now these are delusions, there is news that the officials and soldiers and people in Rongyang City behind him have been killed and ready to pick cheap.
Helplessly, he glanced at the dilapidated Zou City wall, and ordered the retreat of the troops, he saw that after his soldiers heard the order of the retreat, they all showed happy expressions, and he felt even more discouraged.
But what made Wendao's subordinates feel cold was that in the desperate siege of the city in the past few days, the one with the least casualties was Wendao's horse team, 1,500 people and horses, that is, more than 100 people died. But no one dared to say anything, and there was no problem at all with the suppression of this team of more than 1,000 people.
The dejected remnants of the army retreated in the direction they came, but not only did the men and horses in Zou City come out to pursue, but the people in there were also disabled.
But when these people approached Rongyang, they were still cautious, but it was rumored that there were thousands of people and soldiers gathered inside, just waiting to come out to pick up the bargain, Wen Dao knew that the troops were now exhausted, but they still sent a large number of scouts to check the news in front, and now they can't afford any losses.
Zou Cheng disappeared from Wen Dao's sight, and the scout horse he had just sent ran back, and said in front of Wen Dao:
"General, ahead...... There are a large number of soldiers and horses in front of us, and they are coming in our direction! ”
Hearing the knife, his heart was shocked, and he immediately asked loudly:
"How many people!"
"At least there are 10,000 people ......"
Hearing this number, Wen Dao couldn't help but feel a burst of despair in his heart, and he shook the horse a few times and was almost about to be planted, and the guards around him hurriedly held him up, and at this time, suddenly there was another horse cheering and riding over, and before he arrived, he shouted loudly:
"General, general, it's the general's man, the general is leading the soldiers and horses to meet us!"
The official titles in these rebels are the so-called "King Jing Reward", among which Liu 13 and Wen Dao are both with the title of general, although Liu 13 came late, he quickly occupied the lead, so everyone is called the general in private, and Wen Dao is called the second general, of course, these titles are said in private, if anyone mentions it in front of Wen Dao, it will inevitably cause anger.
However, he couldn't care about the knife this time, although the more than 3,000 remnants of his soldiers were cheering loudly, he already knew that it was impossible for him to compete with Liu Shisan for the dominance of the rebels.
When he saw Liu Shisan, he was ashamed to die, standing there not knowing what to say, Liu Shisan didn't mean to blame, just said solemnly there:
"I have brought out all the soldiers and horses in Linyi, you and I will join forces and attack Jining directly!"
"Second brother, what's ......!?"
"If you don't fight, you can only wait to die!"
Liu Shisan said coldly.
