Chapter 620: Escort

"This is a bargain to be taken advantage of. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"It's very true, anyway, I've taken advantage of it now, and I have to pay it back in the future."

The news from Zhangjiakou was sent to Lizhuang by Tangma that night.

Zhang Han and Li Shenming are both of the same opinion, this time is a rare opportunity to fight the Jin merchants in one battle!

The soldiers were waiting outside the courtyard, and after the tall Zhang Han and the dashing Li Shenming came out together, the soldiers saluted together.

"This is the hard work of Brother Zhi and all the people in the mine."

Li Shenming, who rarely disregarded his demeanor, squatted down, and grabbed a string of copper coins in his hand.

And Yusheng's copper coins do not talk about the exchange rate, in order to facilitate counting, a string is an integer, each string is a thousand dollars, ten strings of 10,000 dollars.

Li Shenming said: "In the past, it was called 'guan', during the Tang and Song dynasties, when the army marched and fought, the imperial court spent a number of guan, and the officials were also calculated by guan, such as the prime minister, the annual income of 300 guan, that is, 300,000 yuan a Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the record of the living expenses of the Song people and a family of 60 wen a day, the prime minister's annual income is enough for the people's family to live for more than ten years, and he is still living very well. ”

An official of the Military Orders Department said: "I have recently read some notes of the Song people, it seems that the officials of the Song Dynasty live a much more chic life, they are high, the emperor often rewards, the city is prosperous, there are not so many rules, and it seems that the holidays are longer than those of our Ming officials." ”

Zhang Han heard this: "Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty wants the horses to run, and he wants the horses not to eat grass. Mainly because at the beginning of the founding of the country, all industries withered, and at that time, the officials felt a lot, unlike Zhao and Song, Jiangshan Sheji was not won by hard fighting, but from orphans and widows, and the civil and military officials should be lenient and wooed...... I was originally weak-hearted. ”

"I see, my lord."

Everyone present nodded, looking insightful.

"Officials are not sages, and they don't have to be sages." Zhang Han ignored these flatteries, and continued: "Like the emperor of the Song Dynasty who gave officials generous benefits, the original intention was to tell them to do more things without corruption, but in fact, there were still a lot of corruption among officials in the Song Dynasty, and because the treatment was too good, everyone was busy with being happy and elegant, and the morale was decadent early, and because of the prosperity of maritime trade, the people were rich and did not have the style of martial arts, which is not a good thing." ”

Everyone was thoughtful.

Zhang Han's tone changed, and he said: "Yusheng and I are also well paid, I want everyone to live a good life together, but now is not the time to enjoy prosperity, we still have a long way to go, so in the regulations, I have ordered the attendants, military orders, military and political, staff officers, and military justice departments to work together to formulate a more thorough company charter, although it is not a military law, but the strictness is beyond the past, I hope you will not be resentful because of this." ”

Everyone present clenched their fists and bowed down, and said in unison: "The subordinates don't dare." ”

"Okay," Li Shenming stood up and said with a smile: "It's important to do business now, Wen Lan's words, I think I still have to ask the Wen Xuan of the Attendant Division to write a formal proclamation, and tell the whole company to know." ”

"Yes, what Brother Zunlu saw is very true." Zhang Han looked at Zhang Shixiong with a smile and said, "Shixiong, these copper coins are only the first batch, but there are quite a few of them, and you will take a team of cavalry to escort them to Zhangjiakou." ”

"Yes, sir." Zhang Shixiong hurriedly agreed.

……

In the night, more than 30 cavalrymen lit torches and watched as hundreds of people kept putting wooden boxes containing copper coins in four-wheeled carts.

In the midst of the chaos, several passenger carriages stopped on the side of the road, and several officers got out of the carriages and greeted Zhang Shixiong warmly.

There has been no war recently, but the various departments in the army are either preparing to form a new team, or they are also stepping up training, a large number of young officers have been sent to military academies to continue their studies, everyone is very busy, Zhang Shixiong seems to be idle as a military attaché, and he follows Zhang Han every day, but all matters related to the army must be written as official documents, issued or archived, these things are under the management of Zhang Shixiong, the latest trends in the army, Zhang Shixiong has to pay attention to and report to Zhang Han every day, and now Yusheng's garrison is far north in the grassland desert, In the southernmost part of Lingqiu's Jiaotai Mountain, where different situations are reported every day, Zhang Shixiong's life is far less leisure than outsiders think.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Ma Wu, your kid has grown a lot stronger."

Zhang Shixiong jumped off the horse and slammed Ma Wu's shoulders hard!

Ma Wu grinned, and in turn punched Zhang Shixiong.

They have been studying together since childhood, but there are big and small, and the time when they entered the army is also different, but time has not washed away the friendship between each other, even if they made a mistake in Xiaohehe Fort last time, they were all punished together, and this friendship not only did not fade because of the punishment, but became stronger.

There wasn't much nonsense among the soldiers, and Zhang Shixiong said while greeting the rest of the people: "Where are you going?" ”

In Zhang Shixiong's opinion, this should be an ordinary transfer, because he did not see the corresponding military documents in the attendant department.

"This ......" Ma Wu and the others looked embarrassed and did not answer directly.

"Oh, I see." Zhang Shixiong said: "Since it's confidential, don't say it." ”

"Well......" Ma Wu said: "Anyway, I won't see you for a while, take care." ”

The words were very vague, but Zhang Shixiong heard what Ma Wu meant!

This is an expatriate mission, and it is not going north, Zhang Han has made it clear that after March, he will continue to go north to preside over the overall situation, and patrol the forts and preside over the construction of new forts, the north is still the top priority, and it is impossible not to go for a long time.

Since it is said that I haven't seen it for a long time, there are only two places, either the Thirteen Mountains or Taiwan.

The opinions of the military departments of the officers sent to Taiwan have been unified in sending a phalanx officer corps at once, just like the first time Li Shouxin left, the officers and non-commissioned officers suddenly set up a regimental shelf, and there is no need to send officers in twos and threes, and it is not possible to form a combat effectiveness.

Li Shouxin organized another regiment on Liaodong Phi Dao, and the military department had already agreed. Considering that there are Dutch people in Taiwan with an army force alone that is close to 1,000 people, and all of them are elite people who have been in battle for a long time, Chang Wei and them were originally only a few hundred people, and Li Shouxin led 3,000 people over and did not form an overwhelming advantage in land warfare, although Zhang Han and other military personnel have full confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Yusheng soldiers, but for the sake of safety, if you bring one more regiment over, the strength of the two regiments should be able to defeat the Dutch, and at least completely restrict them, except for the places where the guns of their warships are directly covered, They can't be told to set foot in.

After a period of time, a third regiment will be formed, so that the third regiment can set off in the direction of Taipei, and drive away the Spaniards, who only have a few hundred people, and the Spaniards are more hostile to China than the Dutch who pursue colonies and interests, and there have been anti-Chinese tragedies in Luzon and other places, and tens of thousands of good-natured Chinese have been innocently slaughtered, just because the Spaniards feel that the Chinese are industrious and united, and the Chinese have exploded quickly in the environment of insufficient pressure, and the economic lifeline of Luzon in just a hundred years is in danger of being controlled by the Chinese. In addition, in order to release the pressure of colonial rule, the Spaniards also deliberately stirred up the hatred of the local natives against the Chinese, so that these natives were not hostile to them as colonizers, but used their hatred on the Chinese.

For the natives, the Spaniards have guns and cannons, and the strength is strong, and the number of Chinese is large, and they are indeed more industrious and intelligent than them, and their generation will not reflect on themselves, but will look at the Chinese with hatred, coupled with the colonial authorities deliberately provoked, when the hatred between the two sides is difficult to suppress, the colonists deliberately relaxed the line, and the massacre will naturally occur.

In several tragedies, more than 10,000 Chinese people died, and in many places entire families were slaughtered, regardless of men and women, old and young.

In addition to these things, the Spaniards, because of their religious plots, were bent on attacking China and bringing Catholicism into this ancient civilization, so although they recognized the status of China as a civilized country, they always regarded China as an enemy country psychologically, and they were very hostile to China.

Although the Spaniards had been in decline because of Britain and the Netherlands, and their national strength had been declining, and the plan to invade China had never been implemented, but in the case of Luzon's blood debt and their presence in Taipei, Li Zhuang's military division had always listed the Spaniards as one of the imaginary enemies.

Of course, all these things were known to the officers of He Yusheng, and there were quite a few officers who were not afraid of the sea and felt eager to fight the Spaniards.

Although nationalism is a double-edged sword at some times, Zhang Han felt that at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, the ideology of the country and the nation was still very indifferent, so the education of Yusheng's national attributes and pride was not strong, so the officers were very angry about the fact that the Chinese were slaughtered by outsiders in foreign countries, and they did not have a sense of irrelevance such as the killing of the Liangguang people in Fujian Province had nothing to do with the Shanxi people or the Datong people.

As for the Thirteen Mountains is also the top priority, in addition to being very important to the Jurchens, related to the safety of their grain routes, it is also related to Zhang Han's layout in Liaodong and Eastern Mongolia in the future, as well as many plans such as training and training officers through the Thirteen Mountains, it is not appropriate to put too many soldiers and horses on the Thirteen Mountains, the existing pattern is almost the same, and Yusheng's strength on the mountains will eventually expand to more than 3,000 people, a regiment of shelves, it is worth noting that the Thirteen Mountains are almost not equipped with artillery, unlike Taiwan's regiments have artillery companies, The Thirteen Hills are equipped with a maximum of cavalry companies.

"Take care and return victorious."

Zhang Shixiong gave a military salute, everyone stood solemnly and saluted, and under Zhang Shixiong's gaze, Ma Wu and the others returned to the car and continued to march to the next military station.

"Let's go too." Zhang Shixiong tried his best to restrain his emotions, but his subordinate cavalry still noticed that the commander was strangely silent, and on the way to Zhangjiakou, Zhang Shixiong barely said a word.
