Chapter 524: Acquaintance with the world
After Ma Xiangling and the Qin brothers discussed, they thought that all the Ming troops had nearly half of the casualties, and only the white pole soldiers had casualties of one percent, which was a bit maverick. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
They thought this was bad and offered to keep a thousand people.
Huang Sheng was embarrassed to calculate Qin Liangyu, and when he saw that people took the initiative to ask for it, and immediately sent these white pole soldiers to his family after returning home, of course he was happy to see it.
Later, Ma Xiangling and the Qin brothers were embarrassed, and they released a message to let the white pole soldiers who were willing to stay in Jiaozhi sign up, and the result was unexpected, and the number of applicants was as high as ninety percent.
The family of the white pole soldier lives very hard in Shizhu, and each household will get five acres of their own rice field when they come to Jiaozhi, and they don't even have taxes, who doesn't want to! In the end, there was no way, and the lottery decided the number of people who remained.
When the white pole soldiers went back by boat, Huang Sheng took Wenwu to "Annan Port" to see him off, and the model beauty blushed and sent a sachet to Huang Sheng and turned around and ran away, and there were a few strands of green silk in it.
At night, Huang Sheng looked at the crooked sachet of the stitches under the lamp and smiled dumbly, this model beauty has a set of archery on horseback, and the female red doesn't seem to know it at all!
What is the beauty for? She knew that she already had a group of wives and concubines, why was she like this? Huang Sheng couldn't figure it out, so he could only follow the fate and look at the will of heaven!
Between getting 2,000 white pole soldiers and wolf soldiers, and there are non-descendant Ming troops dragging their families to serve Jiaozhi, and there are 20,000 Li people who have experienced actual combat to be selected, Huang Sheng left most of them in Jiaozhi to defend the territory, and decided to organize two thousand troops based on cold weapons and take them to the north to fight later.
Huang Sheng has always adopted the method of voluntary registration and merit-based selection to form a battle sequence, and the musketeers cooperated with the propaganda team to begin to publicize the treatment and obligations of the two thousand generals to be formed, so that everyone could sign up after consideration.
The Huang family has never engaged in deception, all policies have been made public, and everyone knows that the treatment of becoming a regular soldier who goes north to fight will be increased to two or four dollars a month, and the true color of rice and grain is one stone.
Go to Liaodong to cut off a Jiannu head and reward it is sixty silver coins, and those who want to die do not live.
The newly joined Ming army and Li people are settling accounts with their fingers, the cultural level of the Li people is not high, and they used to cut down the monkey soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom, at most they can calculate how much silver they can get by adding their toes.
Now it's obvious that the fingers are not enough, and the head of Jiannu is too valuable, and one is worth sixty soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom.
It's crazy, too many men who think they are full of force take the initiative to sign up for the selection, and everyone is scrambling.
Huang Sheng selected a part of the soldiers from the pro-soldier team to form the officer team of these two thousand generals, and the two thousand generals were Ge Chengjie and Cao Hucheng.
Ge Chengjie has made outstanding contributions in the implementation of the plan to seize Hainan Island, and he has trained the villagers to be promoted to the rank of thousands of generals, and everyone is impressed. Cao Hucheng has moved forward bravely in all battles, and he can be described as a tiger general, and he deserves to be a thousand generals in terms of seniority and military exploits.
At the selection site, a Li archer shot thirteen feather arrows in a row with a foot bow and hit a target at a distance of sixty paces, and of course he passed the selection.
Cao Hucheng was very satisfied with this archer and asked him, "Do you know what to pay attention to when you go to the north to fight?" ā
The Li warrior replied in a rather strange Huang family's official dialect: "Report to the chief, the little one knows that it is very cold there, and if he doesn't do it, he will freeze to death, and it is easiest to freeze off his toes." ā
"Then why do you still want to go to Liaodong to fight, isn't it good to be a garrison in Jiaozhi?"
"Sir, the little ones know that the chiefs have all killed Jiannu in Liaodong, and you are not all good, the chief is not afraid of the cold, and the little one is of course even more afraid."
"Well said." Cao Hucheng praised loudly. He looked around and said to the soldiers gathered around:
"You remember to obey orders and listen to commands, and follow the Huang family's horses, as long as the orders are forbidden, the possibility of frostbite and freezing to death does not exist. There are so many people living in Liaodong, they can get by, and everyone can do it. ā
The old soldiers of the Huang family joked: "To protect the family and defend the country, my generation is not afraid of hardships, obeys orders and follows the head of the family, and my generation is willing to fight in the south and the north." ā
With the heroism of generosity and the cohesion of all the people, all the foreign warriors were infected.
They shouted out from the bottom of their hearts: "We dare to fight hard, we are not afraid of death, we are willing to go to the north to kill Jiannu ...... for the sake of the master of the family." ā
The two newly formed Qianzong who mainly used cold weapons are very different from the other Qianzong, the biggest difference is that the musketeers with the largest number of people have turned into a total of 600 people with stainless steel pulley bows, of which the Li people have reached 70 percent, and the two Guangming army, the white pole soldiers and the wolf soldiers have 30 percent.
From the tens of thousands of archery skilled in archery, the best selected archers who practiced archery since childhood, their infantry shooting skills are definitely not inferior to the Jiannu armor people, they are familiar with the steel pulley bow and then shoot with Jiannu will definitely be able to win.
There are no cavalry in these two thousand totals, and each thousand always has a white pole soldier and a wolf soldier, and a mixture of two Guangming sabers and shield bearers, with a total number of 300 people.
There was also a mixture of firearms, also numbering three hundred, with grenadiers, artillerymen, musketeers, and twelve field guns. Each thousand commanders have 800 auxiliary soldiers of various arms, most of which are filled by unsuccessful soldiers of different races.
Due to the investment of a large amount of manpower and material resources in the construction of water conservancy facilities and the large-scale water conservancy projects in the management of small watersheds, the ditches, reservoirs, and dams that were originally abandoned by the Dayue army have all played a role, and now they have increased a lot.
Food is too important, and there have been droughts in the north of the Ming Dynasty for many years, and locust plagues have occurred once every three years, which directly led to military disasters.
The climate of Cochin is also affected by the Xiaoice period, but it is not a big deal, except that the hot weather is less than ten days, and the impact on crops is minimal.
With these infrastructures, Cochin Province's ability to resist natural disasters will be greatly enhanced.
Huang Sheng was not satisfied, and every year in the future, he would organize labor service to invest funds to increase water conservancy facilities in a planned way, and strive to make this place a grain base for the Huang family to ensure income during drought and flood.
There is a proverb in the Ming Dynasty, Huguang is familiar with the world, and the Huguang Province of the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the Hunan and Hubei regions of later generations, but it is not the abbreviation of Hunan and Guangdong Provinces.
However, Huguang, the granary of the world, became a battlefield of fierce battles between several parties in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, how can it make the world sufficient?
Huang Sheng strives to achieve "Jiaozhi is familiar with the world" within three or five years, and immigrates here uninterruptedly, leaving heavy troops to garrison to ensure that Jiaozhi will not be affected by military disasters, and can continue to deliver life-saving food to Daming by sea.
The shipping of grain is not imaginary, in the Mengyuan Dynasty, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was blocked by the diversion of the Yellow River and could not be navigated, at that time to transport grain to the north is from Nantong Prefecture to Tianjin Wei.
More than 300 years have passed, the development of the times has entered the age of great exploration, navigation technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and now it has gotten rid of the limitation of having to wait for the monsoon to come, and has completely achieved year-round navigation.
The speed and quality of modern sailing boats have also increased dramatically, and the safety has been much better. With the scientific management and high efficiency of "Huaxia Sea Operation", the cost of transporting grain from Jiaozhi to Tianjin Wei is almost the same as the cost of transporting grain from Nantong Prefecture to Tianjin Wei, and the time is not more than a few days.
If the imperial court transported the grain to the north through the Grand Canal, the speed could not catch up with the grain ships that went north from Jiaozhi to the "Huaxia Sea Operation".
Since the distribution of acres of land in Cochin Province has been completed, there are still new immigrants who have come to Cochin one after another to temporarily deny land, so that they can become laborers to build roads first.
