Huang Mingli had long known that he would not follow the large army to the south for the time being this year, and he knew that now that the Huang family had a big business, Huangjiawan Island would not be at ease if there was no one in charge of the family, so he readily agreed to stay.

The land of Zhongming Fort belongs to the Huang family, where after a large number of water conservancy facilities, it already has 2 million acres of fertile land, and now it has begun to plant some sweet potatoes and corn, of course, it is still mainly wheat fields, where there are 20,000 households and more than 70,000 people working.

These ordinary people are all rescued Han people who used to be Ahah, and there are thousands of Koreans Aha who have now become tuntian farmers, and each of their families has a small population, and the population will rise sharply when their lives are stable.

Zhongming Fort is a fortress close to the sea, and Quang Ninh Qiantun Wei Qianhusuo City constitutes a twin fort defense system, and the layout is scientific, the garrison soldiers and civilians in wartime, soldiers can freely enter and exit the city of the people's houses, and the common people can not enter the two fortresses without permission.

Huang Sheng thought that such a fortress was connected to the sea, and when Jiannu was attacked by thousands of troops, there were 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and civilians who hid in Zhongming Fort, and it was much easier to stick to this place than to stick to Jinzhou.

Huang Sheng hoped that the Red Gang would come to Zhongming Fort to consume, and Jiannu might not be able to take Zhongming Fort for three years, and they did not have the ability to besiege and kill here.

Leaving one hundred musketeers to be operated by the special loader who was accepted as a student to lead the hundred generals to stay behind, while leaving two hundred cavalry as seed troops to develop, training the townsmen of Zhongming Fort to spare no effort, after all, this is outside the pass, and force is the basis for survival.

Zhongming Fort is not far from Gaotai Fort, and there are thousands of Nekhalkha Mongol cavalry in Qinggeltai to assist in the defense, and it is safe and sound.

Leaving the same number of seed troops stationed on Juehua Island to train the villagers, one of the loaders, the musketeer Yun Zhonglai Bai, left with the team, he was born as an orphan on Juehua Island, and now he has become an officer stationed on Juehua Island, and he will not be unilaterally slaughtered by Jiannu like his father.

"Huaxia Island" now has a population of more than 300,000, most of the advanced factories of this era are flourishing here, and the two large docks are building warships and merchant ships respectively, which is the lifeblood of the Huang family and must strengthen the defense.

After several years of study, Xiao Changgui has completely mastered theory and practice, and he is now the commander of 100 artillery units.

The Huang artillerymen all studied and participated in the study of Taoism, the quality of gunpowder, the amount of loading, the weight and shape of the shell, and the elevation angle of the muzzle to them, and the Huang artillery was able to calculate the landing point of the shell, although it was not accurate, it was almost the same!

There are forts and batteries in Huaxia Port, 36 artillery pieces are fully arranged, the largest caliber has 12 32-pound guns, including 4 rifled guns, Xiao Changgui took a hundred artillery to stay on Huaxia Island, he is also responsible for training 300 artillery trainees, and there are 30 field guns for training in hand.

Ma Wu is the second batch of loaders of the head of the family, and now he is already the general manager of the musketeer, and he has jurisdiction over three hundred generals, and now he is also a military attache with the rank of commander from the command of Sanpinwei, and he can't do it without a big name, he asked the name of the side to take a few to choose, and finally chose the name of Ma Qianpu, which is very meaningful.

Ma Wu is now a cultural person, he said that he is called a pawn, and he will always be willing to be a pawn of his mentor.

His elder brother Ma San is also a military attache from the third grade, and his younger brother is a pawn of the horse, he gave himself the strange name of the hindsight cannon according to the gourd painting scoop, and his words are chiseled, his hindsight cannon is the artillery behind the cavalry group to shoot at Jiannu, but it is not an empty cannon afterwards.

It is not a mess for the musketeers of the horses to leave a total of 600 men and horses behind to guard the "Huaxia Island", and the task is heavy, and it is an urgent task to train the villagers to be brave, and it is necessary to strive to train 10,000 qualified musketeers within a year.

The left-behind cavalry of "Huaxia Island" is Han Kuan's commander, although he is already a general in Chaozhou, Guangdong, but he does not take office, anyway, the head of the family is the governor of Liangguang, who dares to ask?

"Huaxia Island" here is very large enough for cavalry to gallop, there are horse farms on the island, there are tens of thousands of horses, war horses, training the countrymen to be able to ride horses to become cavalry infantry with no less mobility than cavalry is his task.

The defensive force of "Huaxia Island" has 1,200 regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, and at least 20,000 village warriors.

After all, this is a new territory, with North Korea and Japan within easy reach, and it is the focus of defense for the navy left behind. Regular patrols of the sea and the capture of nearby sea vessels are carried out on a daily basis.

The reason why Huang Sheng arranged meticulous defense this time was because this time the southward operation might be protracted, and he would definitely not return to Liaodong within a year, nor would he go to "Huaxia Island", and as for when he would be able to take Jiaozhi, it is uncertain whether it will be a year and a half or three and a half years or three and a half years.

It is also unknown that they were dragged by the guerrillas of the Zheng clan of the Great Viet Kingdom on the muddy battlefield of Annam.

Huang Mingli knew that his task was to seek development in hibernation, and low-key training to enhance strength was the primary task in the past two years, and there were only a few hundred Huang family guards on the roster of the Ming Liaodong official army, and it was impossible for him to participate in the military operations of the Liaodong Economic Strategy.

Of course, except for Qinggeltai, but it is necessary to see if Sun Chengzong can gain the trust of this Mongolian Taiji, so that he is willing to follow the Ming army to Liaodong.

As early as 6 June, Li Dagang, Gu Shanhe, Huang Donghai, Gu Yicang, and Wang Zhigui had already landed in Laizhou with five private troops totaling 3,000 Huang family troops in the name of Guanqian Dao and marched by land to Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, and Liangguang Governor's Mansion.

This is the first long march of the Huang family's private soldiers, which is of extraordinary significance and carries too many missions. The commanders are all capable generals, and the warriors and auxiliaries are all selected elites.

This is Huang Sheng's intention to exercise the ability of his command to march long distances, they have to open roads and build bridges when encountering mountains and rivers, but also to adapt to climate changes, learn the prevention and control of epidemics, and it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles.

On the overland journey, there was a field artillery commander, three cavalry commanders, and a musketeer commander, bringing a total of 4,000 war horses and 2,000 horses.

In addition to the fixed supply vehicles and armored fighting vehicles, there was also a medical team accompanying the army, as well as 500 steel wheelbarrows, two general baggage soldiers, and one chief engineer to follow.

Shang Muming and Li Ximing led the propaganda team to publicize all the way, this long road through Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi will meet too many people, the Huang family wants to show a new army to the people of Daming.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the Ming army had bad military discipline, so the people had "bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and officials are like shavings." "That's it.

And the new look of the Ming army shown by the Huang family will let everyone see a trustworthy iron army.

The propaganda team will also give some gifts to the people who take the initiative to help the army, such as cool oil, a small bag of salt, small mirrors, matches, nail clippers and other small or novel gadgets.

Lord Huang's men and horses are strictly disciplined, starving to death, and not robbing the people, not only that, they will also help the poor and save the people and water and fire, so go through it, the propaganda effect must be very good, of course, the political purpose cannot be spread, think about the Red Army's Long March, everyone understands.

The supplies brought by the army by land to the south could meet the needs of three months, because considering that they would have to use food to save the people along the way, the Huang family would also use the commercial network along the way to replenish the supplies of their own troops.

When the team crosses the Yangtze River, it will get a large amount of food replenishment, and when it comes to Raozhou Mansion, there will be grain ships to provide supplies, and there is no need to go to the city along the way to fight the autumn wind, and encounter bandits and robbers to exterminate them.

Four or five thousand miles is a long road, although there are official roads connecting them, and it is certainly not fast to bring 6,000 horses and many carts to participate in the transportation.

It would take nearly three months to march 60 miles a day on average, and with this time, I don't know how many ordinary people can show the demeanor of the Huang family's private soldiers.
