Chapter 468: Shaanxi Refugees

Just sent off Qin Liangyu's mother and daughter, and two more generals came, Wu Jingluo Ma Shilong, and deputy chief military officer Ma Shihu, and the two saw Huang Shengle kneeling down and bowing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Time has passed, and Ma Shilong, the once high-ranking chief military officer in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, has bowed down and bowed down to Huang Shengye! And worship with sincerity. Ma Shihu is more sincere, and he even hopes to be on an errand under Huang Sheng.

Huang Sheng hurriedly helped the two of them up, and enthusiastically continued to set up a banquet and drink, and more than a dozen military attachΓ©s and personal soldiers from the family came to accompany them. Today, I have drunk the third meal of wine, and I can't help myself when I am in the officialdom!

It turned out that Ma Shihu was awarded the deputy general of Shaanxi by the imperial court, which is equivalent to the deputy general soldier. He was transferred by the Ministry of War to garrison Tongguan, and he was about to leave Beijing to take up his post in the near future, and Ma Shilong was asked by Sun Chengzong to go to the capital to supervise Liaodong soldiers and horses, and he also went to Shanhaiguan to take up his post immediately.

Tongguan is located at the east end of the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi Province, east of Lingbao County, Shaanzhou, Henan Province, west of Huazhou, Xi'an Prefecture, south of Luonan County, Shangzhou, northwest of Dali County, Tongzhou, and north of Ruicheng County, Jiezhou, Shanxi Province, across the Yellow River.

It is the east gate of the Guanzhong region, the key point of the three provinces of Shaanxi, Jin and Henan, and it is here that the tiger is located, and the geographical location is quite important.

Huang Sheng said: "Tongguan Xiongguan Tiger is a place where soldiers must fight, and Ma Zongbing holds this important place is the trust of the saints, and the future is immeasurable!" ”

Ma Shihu said with a wry smile: "The situation in Shaanxi is worrying, but the heavy troops of the imperial court are in Liaodong, and the military expenditure is mainly to meet Liaodong. ”

"Rao is like this, Ma Zongbing can think of some ways by himself, I am afraid it is more dangerous to not have a reliable family in hand."

"Alas, the lower officials don't know, but it's a pity that Shaanxi is too poor, and there is really no oil and water to be scraped by disasters one after another."

"The official is going to Tongguan to open the 'Huaxia Big Money Village', and there will be some families to run it, and the official can provide you with some financial resources."

Ma Shihu heard that Huang Sheng was going to send his family to Tongguan, he knew that the Huang family's economic strength was a Ming Taidou-level existence, so he was happy, and hurriedly asked: "Lord Dudu, it would be great if you could send someone to run Shaanxi, but I don't know what the lower officials can do?" ”

"Send troops to escort and escort the fierce fire oil and cotton to the Funing wharf, how many Huang families buy as many as they want."

"Great, Xiaguan will do a good job in this business" Ma Shihu is a professional soldier, of course he knows that the production area of Daming fierce fire oil is in the west, and Tongguan is a must-pass place.

"Shaanxi robbers are rampant, and homeless people are everywhere, presumably Tongguan will gather a lot of homeless people!"

"The Governor is right, the biggest headache in the state capitals of Shaanxi is those displaced people, too much food is needed to help the victims, and it is difficult to get food in Shaanxi, but if you don't help those displaced people, it will become a homeless robber."

"This official has some acres of land, and there is too much wasteland in the fief of North Korea's Shinhaejun, and the population needs it, so you can release the exiles into the customs."

"This, I'm afraid it's not proper, these people will not be far from Gyeonggi when they enter Henan, and it will be terrible if something goes wrong."

"That's true, this official is not to let you leave them at will, but to organize them to move in a centralized manner, and the Huang family Ding and Xiang Yong will escort them all the way to the Haizhou Wharf in Nanzhili to load and transport them away, and they will not pass through the land of Gyeonggi."

"Obediently, it's nearly two thousand miles, how much food does it take to migrate like this?"

"As for the money and food, you don't need to ask, the official will send people to greet the state capitals along the way, and he will not harass them, and the Huang family will bring all the food by themselves."

"The governor will not care if he arranges the lower officials like this, and when the time comes, the lower officials will send some cavalry to follow."

"This official never makes people busy in vain, so let's do it, you send a team to cooperate with the official family to bring people to Haizhou Port, and the cost on the road is all from the official, and every strong worker of the official will give you a tael of silver, and if the family is complete, the official will add another tael."

Huang Sheng originally wanted to only give silver with strong labor, but it was not appropriate to think about it, too many Ming officials and soldiers were almost inseparable from bandits, maybe they only needed to strengthen their labor, and gave up their wives and children, and the refugees who lost their men were even more dead, how to make it?

Therefore, it is better to pay double the price than to save the refugee's complete family. If they don't, there is a good chance that they will become cannon fodder for Li and Zhang.

Ma Shihu was a little moved, got up and knelt down and said: "Xiaguan Yijie Wufu doesn't understand the reason, and today I also know your purpose, there is nothing to say, even if you don't give one or two silver, Xiaguan is willing to do such a good thing." ”

Huang Sheng knew that Ma Shihu was a person with a clear conscience, so he helped him up and said, "How can you lead the troops if you have no money and food for the generals?" Even if you don't care about gains and losses, how many people under your command can understand? It's no wonder that they have to provide for their families! So as long as you successfully deliver people, there is no reason to give more money. ”

"Thank you so much, Lord Dudu, Xia Guan not only thanked himself, but also thanked your Excellency on behalf of those Shaanxi refugees."

Huang Sheng looked at Ma Shilong, who had been drinking silently and did not interject, and said: "Ma Jingluo, the Huang family has been buying a large number of charcoal, wood, fur, coke, and clay in Liaodong, and the more pig iron, the better, you have to use your brains to increase production." ”

Ma Shilong saw that Lord Huang also pointed out the way to make money for himself, and hurriedly thanked him.

Huang Sheng vaguely warned him not to touch the defense of Mingbao and Juehua Island, because he had been operating there for many years and now had output.

Ma Shilong understood and knew that there were one or two million acres of wheat fields cultivated by Huangjiatun in Zhongming Fort, and it was all in plain sight.

He knew that Huang Sheng had leaned into power in the government and the opposition, and had a very good personal relationship with Inspector Sun, Lord Mao Yuanyi of Ningqian Dao, and Lord Sun, the governor of Denglai, and the generals of Liaodong respected him like a god, and of course no one dared to stretch out his hand for his actual interests in Liaodong.

The two Ma generals thought that the trip was worthwhile, and said goodbye to go back, Huang Sheng asked Mei Xiang to take 30,000 taels of silver tickets and hand them to Ma Shihu to bring, which was counted as a deposit for transferring 30,000 Shaanxi strong laborers to Haizhou.

Ma Shihu saw that the work had not been done yet, and Lord Huang was extremely grateful to the silver first, he was familiar with Huang Sheng and could understand Huang Sheng's meaning, and patted his chest to ensure that he could save as many people as possible.

The next day, Huang Sheng left with a large family, leaving the crew of Rumeng to tour in Beizhili, because he was about to go on the same road, so he took Cai'er and Xu Fo's two sets of teams back to Huangjiawan Island to live, and went to Nanzhili to tour in the near future.

Emperor Chongzhen was relieved to see that Huang Sheng was so efficient and did not delay for a day and immediately left Beijing to take up his post, and called on all officials in the court to do this and put an end to procrastination.

When the head of the family returned to Huangjiawan Island, he immediately expanded the army and organized it, with a total of 300 troops and a total of 600 soldiers, and 70% of the regular soldiers were insufficient.

The musketeers were expanded to seven generals, the archers and axe cavalry were mixed into six cavalry generals, and the infantry was also six generals, not only heavy infantry, but also three sword and shield men and spear shield men with double-barreled short guns pinned to their waists.

General Cheng Quangong is the adjutant of the heavy infantry commander Han Guang, each of whom directly leads a general heavy infantry, and the general adjutant is Mao Shengshi and Fan Tao, and the third commander-in-chief Cao Hucheng can also be called Cao Hucheng, the fourth commander-in-chief, the fifth-in-chief Hu Jianfeng, and the sixth commander-in-chief Wu Qiang.

The artillery group is divided into two generals, two grenadiers, five engineers, 10 heavy soldiers, and one pro-soldiers.

The total number of 23,500 men in the whole army is 39, and the number of regular soldiers is 8 or 9,000.
