The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

This time, in order to play the majesty of Guanning's iron cavalry, Wu Sangui and Zu Kuan brought almost all the elite family members and 3,000 soldiers.

Their subordinates were mixed with Hu and Han, both Mongols and Han Chinese. This is also a very normal situation in Liaodong, where Zu Dashou also has a considerable number of Mongols in his own family.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the situation in Liaodong was complicated, and the three parties of Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty, and Jiannu fought each other, and they also cooperated with each other.

And the Mongols have people who eat in the pot of Houjin, and there are also people who lead Yulu on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

There are many Mongols who have been displaced to the land of Liaodong and have milk or mothers, and their loyalty is very limited.

However, with his outstanding riding and archery skills, he mixed food under the command of the generals, and among the generals of Liaozhen, he had almost no fear of accepting the Mongols.

Zu Dashou and Cao Bianjiao escorted them forward, and there were large tracts of cultivated farmland along the way, and the farmhouses were hidden in Qianmo.

About 500,000 or 600,000 people were placed in the boundary from Ningyuan to Jinzhou, and the original residents should be close to one million, so it is very rare for such a place to have a large number of households.

All the generals are in a hurry to divide Dingkou and the land, and Zu Dashou did not hide it from Cao Bianjiao, pointing to the large area of land around Jinzhou City and said: "Don't hide it from General Cao, this piece of land of 10,000 acres is my ancestor's land." ”

Zu Dashou said: "In addition, there are tens of thousands of acres in Ningyuan, and there are also 10,000 acres from Shanhaiguan to Yongping Mansion. ”

Cao Bianjiao snorted and said, "I know that Brother Fuyu is from the Ning Yuan family, I'm afraid there's more to say, right?" ”

Zu Dashou smiled silently, he mainly made it clear to Cao Bianjiao first, that a foreign general like him would definitely need a lot of land to raise his family.

The familiar land here is not only the ancestral family, but also the other Liaoxi Jiangmen families are almost occupied, and Cao Bianjiao wants land, so he can only find a way to reclaim it by himself.

The other is the military household Dingkou, according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, the generals can treat the military households as tenant farmers, Jiajing to Wanli years, especially in the Wanli years, in order to solve the useless chronic disease, especially to give the generals a lot of preferential treatment.

Including rewarding a large number of fields and legalizing the acres of land occupied by the generals, but there has been no way to deal with the generals' encroachment on military households.

After arriving in Zhang Juzheng, the laws of various reconstructions accelerated the collapse, and now the ancestral family has at least more than 100,000 acres of land in western Liaoning.

There are more than 10,000 military households farming for his family alone, and if there is no such land and Dingkou, Zu Dashou would not be able to support those thousands of families.

As they spoke, they had already seen the Matsuyama Acropolis, which had been built very early, and was being rebuilt after being destroyed.

Now in the southeast of the city, the corner platform and the Kuixing Tower are being repaired, and the city gate is wrapped in the corner platform on both sides.

Once you encounter the enemy, you can shoot arrows and fire cannons on both sides of the corner, which can protect the city gate very well, and if the ants are attached to the siege, the besiegers will not be able to afford the price of a strong attack.

Although the corner platform has not been completely repaired, there are obviously many cannons placed on both sides, and they are all Hongyi cannons of the 5,000-pound level representing the highest level of Daming cast cannons.

Although the Ming Dynasty's firearms casting took a crooked path, the guns of battleships were cast as fortress guns and field guns, which were almost useless except for defending the city.

Jiannu received the king of Sanshun and a large number of cannon casting talents in the hands of Huang Taiji, and went to Dolgon to enter the pass and dispatched an artillery team in order to attack Tongguan Jiancheng.

As a result, it took a lot of manpower to walk from the capital to Tongguan, and walked on the road for several months, and in the later war, the Qing court also pulled the cannon to the south of the Yangtze River, but it was of little use.

The construction in front of me is almost complete, the city wall from the wall base to the city tower all the stones and bricks, the city tower is still being built, the circumference is about six miles.

In the mainland, it is the scale of a large county and a small state town, and compared with a large famous city that is often ten or even twenty or thirty miles long, the scale of Songshan City is of course much smaller.

However, considering that this is a military fortress, that is, the Acropolis of Jinzhou, its scale is already quite large.

"In front is the Dengzhou Naval Army."

Zu Dashou found that many people had gathered outside the Songshan wharf, most of them ragged peasants and military households, who were supposed to be doing labor.

At this time of summer, the harvest has just been harvested, and the acres have been turned, so there is not much to do for the time being, except for weeding the farmland.

Most of the construction of the city walls and the corresponding forts were to draw labor from the Liao people, which was a military area in this case, and conscription was also a kind of local tax.

If Chengping is fine, of course the government will not ask the people to contribute, but in a former enemy place like Jiliao, the people also know that if the city is not repaired, there will be nowhere to hide when the prisoners come, and no one will be dissatisfied because of this.

Besides, even if they are dissatisfied, it is useless, those with a little strength hid in Shanhaiguan during the Battle of Guangning and even the Battle of Shenyang and Liaoyang.

In the crowd, there were a group of guards holding honor guards, some low-grade civil officials wearing green robes and blue robes and black gauze hats, and many small officials wearing official uniforms.

The most conspicuous thing in the crowd was a short and thin official in a red robe, and it didn't need to be asked that it was also Lin Kesheng, the governor of Jiliao Jinzhou.

The status of civil officials is above that of military generals, but civilian officials generally do not kill martial artists at will, after all, human life is at stake.

Words that cause discontent in the army will also affect the ability of civilian officials to control the army, and the Ming Dynasty is not without a tradition of mutiny.

During the Apocalypse and Chongzhen years, the governor was beaten by the rebels, and the general soldiers were forced to jump over the wall and escape by the rebels.

Thousands of cavalry galloped forward from the official road, and there were many trees on the side of the road that brought shade and shadow, and the farmland on both sides was still barren, and some of them had been re-turned.

After a while, sorghum or bean feed will be planted, and some land will be planted with alfalfa, and now the number of military horses in western Liaoning is extremely large, even if the imperial court has bean material to replenish, it is very nervous.

Alfalfa has been planted in many places, and Liaoxi is no longer Liaozhen in the past, and now the soldiers and horses are almost all controlled by the general army, and the infantry is still cannon fodder and slaves.

The cavalry is almost directly controlled by the generals, and no one will dare to swallow the beans and raise the horses tired.

The continuous dry weather caused a lot of dust on the roads, the ground was also potholed, and the horsemen galloped carefully on the road, and most of the cavalry wore fiery red military robes.

Or wearing a bright red cloak and cloak, the cavalry at the front held a red military flag, and the whole cavalry team rushed to the foot of Songshan Castle like a red tide of rage.

Of course, this cavalry team has already appeared on the side of Songshan City, and the identity of the cavalry has been determined, otherwise the city gate would have been warned a long time ago, and the city gate would have been closed a long time ago.

When he arrived at the place where Lin Kesheng, the governor of Jiliao, was, Cao Bianjiao and Zu Dashou dismounted together, and then clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general has seen the boss." ”

Lin Kesheng is only in his thirties, which is not enough to be called old, and calling "boss" is a kind of honorific title for superiors by subordinates.

In the Ming Dynasty, simply calling each other Lord is a close relationship, otherwise you have to add a lot of honorifics and official titles, such as calling the governor a military lord.

You can also call the boss like Cao Bianjiao and Zu Dashou.

The courtesy of the two generals was very respectful, and a smile appeared on Lin Kesheng's dark face, he stretched out his hand, returned a half, and then said with a smile: "Two generals, please get up." ”

"Thank you, sir."

Lin Kesheng said to Cao Bianjiao: "This official has already received the fast horse of the Governor, and he is very happy about the arrangement of the Governor, Jinzhou City will have General Cao and General Zu in the future, which can be regarded as stable as Mount Tai." ”

Cao Bianjiao replied: "Under the rule of the boss, the last general must obey the military orders. ”

Lin Kesheng glanced at Cao Bianjiao deeply, and then looked away and said:

"Hundreds of people came to Dengzhou, saying that they were here to fight the front station. Let's deal with this matter for the two of you, after all, it was the two generals' men who led the troops. ”

"Yes, follow the orders of the Governor." The two generals respectfully agreed.

The people of the Governor's Mansion are on the Songshan Wharf, from Ningyuan all the way to Songshan, Tashan, Xingshan and Dalinghe Fort, and a little west is Jinzhou.

This is the throat of the long and narrow western Liaoning corridor, and the terrain is very important.

"Such a majestic and mighty battleship, I don't expect Dengzhou Wei to develop to Si?"

Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and others galloped to the dock, and when they saw the towering Daming Sea Division, the swarthy and huge cannon muzzles covered the side of the ship, and they couldn't help but exclaim!

It's not that they haven't met the Dengzhou Marine, but that was a few years ago. Since the destruction of Juehua Island and the change of grain to land transportation, they have never seen the sailor again.

What remained in their memories was nothing more than a few hundred broken sea ships that were slightly larger than the boats.

Now, in front of them is the latest Daifuku ship, produced by the Zhengjia Shipyard and supervised by the Dengzhou Shipyard, which is already a shotgun for a cannon.
