Chapter 163: Miscellaneous

"Report to the Great Commander, the fleet going to Dongying Trade was blocked by the ice floe off the coast of Lushun, and Yang Yiteng specially ordered the small ones to report to the Great Commander."

Yang Wenli was giving Wang Rucheng the knowledge of weights and measures, but was interrupted by two sailors who came to report the news, and the two of them bowed and saluted.

"Oh! I'm back so soon, I think it must have been smooth, good! A certain person happened to be in urgent need of sulfur, lead, copper and other supplies on the ship.

It is easy to say that the ship cannot dock on the shore, and Lushun is an ice-free port, and when a certain person sends someone to Lushun and General Zhang Pan to say, he will definitely be able to use the port to dock and unload goods.

After a hard time, let's go back and recuperate first! I'll arrange for someone to handle this, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

This unexpected news made Yang Wenli crazy, but he still maintained a pampered tone and praised the two.

"Thank you, Commander, the little ones are leaving!" The two sailors bowed again and took off.

After the two sailors left, Yang Wenli turned his head and ordered Yang Li, the personal slave: "Liren, inform Director Li to take charge of this, I want to get those materials as soon as possible." ”

"Yes," Yang Liren answered, and went to call someone to give the order.

The logistics department was escorting the prisoners back from Jinzhou City, and for this reason, Yang Wenli also took the time to hold a special meeting on the disposal of the captured Tartars and the disposal of the 135 traitor scholars.

The Black Armor Army is a tuntian system, a soldier and a peasant army, and now there are a large number of slaves, Yang Wenli plans to use these slaves to reward the merits of the soldiers, and distribute these slaves, while also saving the trouble of centralized supervision of the troops.

Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and Yang Wenli initially considered that a column of soldiers would be given 30 acres of land, and a soldier would be given 50 acres of land, and it would be impossible for the slaves of the Black Armor Army to farm anymore, so they would replace them with these captured slaves.

More than 5,000 slaves were captured in Fuzhou, and considering that more slaves would be captured in Yongning, Yang Wenli decided to divide these slaves with one soldier and five slaves.

There are old and young, men and women, and the most important thing is those young women, in addition to the fair distribution to ensure that every soldier has them, there are a few remaining women, Yang Wenli gave them to several chief officers of the logistics department.

Li Huaixuan also proposed to select several beautiful girls to be his maidservants, but he stopped him.

The superior is the most jealous of greed and pleasure, and now his grand ideals, the eight characters have not been skimmed, just thinking about these things, it is no different from looking for death, he deserves to die, and it is a great crime to bring thousands of soldiers under his command.

Moreover, these Tartar slaves, who were ruined by him, would definitely hold a grudge, but they didn't want to die innocently in bed one night, in view of this, he didn't even dare to use rough subordinates.

He intends to learn the methods of the European royal family, and in the future, the subordinates of his command must be the profiteering class above the commoners, and it will be an honor to serve him voluntarily, and it will be an honor to serve him.

In this way, Ouzhou abolished the eunuchs and palace maids, which is a great achievement, it is good, and it must be learned, and not completely denied because it is the creation of a white-skinned pig.

The arrival of those 135 traitor scholars really helped him a lot, and the Black Armor Army has been short of scholars for a long time! Even his military orders were verbal, which was extremely irregular and dangerous, and could easily be exploited by hostile forces.

The correct approach should be that he dictated, drafted the documents, and then he reviewed and printed them, and sent people to distribute them to all front-line units.

Therefore, the major generals must also have clerks around them to be able to read official documents, and the five scholars in the past couldn't do it at all.

In view of this, Yang Wenli distributed the more than 100 scholars, and there are now as many as ten clerks in his commanding mansion.

Of course, the logistics department has the most paperwork, accounting for the absolute majority. Because his logistics department is a special organization that manages the army and the people, there are many and complicated things, and there must be so many documents.

He also fulfilled Li Huaixuan's promise to bring up the families of these traitorous scholars separately and let them live alone, instead of giving them to his soldiers.

The officials should be able to see that Yang Wenli's subordinates, only the generals in the army have land, and those civilian officers have no land, and whether they are generals or soldiers, they are the same fifty acres, which requires him to give high salary compensation.

The advantage of his doing so is that he can effectively prevent land annexation, the civil government is legally landless, the military attaché is legally as many as soldiers, and he implements a national policy similar to that of modern China for decades, depending on how he annexes.

Those 135 scholars, who are still slaves for the time being, need to serve for a certain number of years before they can accumulate merit as civilians, this is Yang Wenli's slight punishment for their past mistakes, otherwise they will be permanently demoted to slaves There is no negotiation.

Although they are slaves, they have no land and have to live, Yang Wenli ordered Li Huaixuan to draw up a relatively low salary, so that these traitors can support their families, don't think about how good life is, it's good not to be hungry, since you are a traitor, you must have the consciousness of accepting punishment.

Li Huaixuan and several chief officers of the logistics department were busy distributing slaves, as well as a large amount of seized property, Yang Wenli also ordered a unified distribution, and all the combatants, regardless of soldiers, slaves or civilian officials, had a share, and each person had the same number and was impartial.

Since it is a policy of using war to feed the war, the reward after the fact must not be stingy, Yang Wenli also looked down on the wealth, so he was very generous, and originally intended to share the fruits of victory with all the soldiers.

Yang Liren sent someone to inform Li Huaixuan to go to Lushun to discuss the issue of borrowing the port, he immediately put down the work at hand, and handed over a few subordinates to bring a few privates from the logistics department to ask the commander for instructions.

In the workshop, after Li Huaixuan greeted him, Yang Wenli smiled and said to him: "Manager Li, I know that you are very busy, but the materials purchased from Dongying are very important raw materials for gunpowder and artillery shells, and the time is urgent.

In addition, you need to tell General Zhang that our army may withdraw to Changsheng Island in the near future, and that the Jiannu army may invade southern Liaoning, so that he can prepare his mind.

After the goods and personnel have passed through the South Pass, you will convey my order to Ming'an Tubayan, ordering him to lead his troops to move to Changsheng Island, if he does not agree, you don't need to say more, just say that our army will attack Jinzhou next time, and will not accept surrender again.

If you need to be carried by hand, come back immediately to transfer slaves to carry them, and I am waiting for your good news. ”

"Yes, please rest assured, my subordinates know the severity, I will go to Lushun immediately to ensure that the task is completed quickly and well." Li Huaixuan bowed and saluted, then turned around and went out to carry out the order.

Yang Wenli had already expected that the Bayan tribe in Jinzhou would repeat, and when the Jiannu army arrived, they would definitely become Jiannu's obedient people again, and the previous agreement with Yang Rentian, as well as his reward for Bayan, would all be nullified.

He is a man who is extremely trustworthy, and it is difficult to chase after him, as long as Bayan does not rebel, he is his general, and he cannot send troops to encircle and suppress it.

He told Li Huaixuan to say those words, but also to be benevolent and righteous, if Bayan did not listen to his military orders, he would have his own thunderous means to deal with him afterwards.
