Chapter 254: Life is not easy for a hundred households
The fleet headed north along the Bohai Bay, and saw several small fishing boats on some of the coasts controlled by their Tatar bandit group...... But the fishermen on those boats were not alarmed...... In fact, they were already familiar with the scene of the Federal Empire patrolling the Bohai Bay, and knew that the warships with the bronze word "Shang" and the blue striped flag never disturbed them, and even sometimes avoided them while they were fishing.
However, the fishermen had never seen such a "huge" fleet heading north.
They put their hands on the canopy to see the fleet.
The captain of the captain of the fleet looked through binoculars, and thought that they were indeed poor fishermen, so he ignored them...... The whole fleet went away.
Obviously had the opportunity to escape to Shandong, but he still chose to live a poor life under the control of the Tatar bandit group...... Even if it's self-inflicted, you don't have to pay attention to it.
In less than three days, they arrived at the designated location.
In fact, they don't need to be given latitude and longitude at all, and they also know the largest river in the Bohai Bay...... Some captains of warships do not need a sextant at all, but can blurt out where the river flows from and what important cities are on the banks of the rivers by looking at the estuaries of the rivers that flow into the sea in the Bohai Bay.
It was the first time that they had been able to probe the hydrology on such a large scale and fire artillery at will.
In fact, several captains of this operation also discussed it in private, and they thought that the Imperial Admiralty Minister had a bad brain and issued such an order for no reason...... This is clearly a warning to the Tatar robbers in advance: you wait, we will beat you like this next time!
One of the captains sighed and said, "Guo Don't speak...... It's speechless! ”
The crowd laughed...... The junior officer wanted to comment on the senior officer behind his back...... It felt great.
However, no one dared to disobey the orders given by others.
Their fleet honestly held exercises for forced landing at the mouth of that great river...... The whole process couldn't have been more seamless.
The reason is simple, the mouth of the great river is a deserted place at all.
The entire fleet symbolically took turns firing several solid shells towards the landing...... It's really not worth using blasting bombs...... The sound of the cannon firing drifted at the mouth of the river for a long time, and among the grass and trees on both sides of the river and the sea, countless birds, white, black, and flowers, suddenly flew out, covering the sky and the sun for a while.
Wait until the Marines rowed quickly into the assault boat, and then rushed to the river bank with a roar...... They didn't find anything.
The lead captain of this fleet put away his binoculars...... There is not even a sambar deer to be seen, except for trees, grass and birds.
He ordered the Marines to withdraw the transports, and then ordered the three three-masted naval warships to sail directly into the river...... On the map given to them, this big river is called Haihe, which is quite vivid.
The three three-masted warships relied on the midday sea breeze to do their best to sail up the Haihe River...... They skillfully zigzag across the wide river.
A dozen sailors on each of the three ships kept retracting the survey ropes and carefully recording the data they obtained.
The three captains carefully observed the situation on the shore...... Unfortunately, there has been no one at all.
It's all the fault of the damned Tatar bandits...... It's such a good place, but no one has come to develop it...... Judging from the topography on both sides of the river, this is clearly a plain area!
The Tatar robbers are sure to only destroy and not build.
Towards four o'clock in the afternoon, the small fleet chose a river bay and stopped.
They sent a telegram with a spark radio telegraph, reporting on their situation.
Since they were both low-power telegraphs, they did not have to follow the restrictions of the launch window.
In the early morning of this day, Dasrida of the Hundred Households led his men to conduct routine patrols along the north bank of the river.
He is a garrison unit belonging to the southeast of the capital...... At this time, the Tatar army was divided into two major systems, the garrison and the garrison, according to the different tasks undertaken.
The guards were divided into the "Cowardly Xue" army under the direct jurisdiction of the Tatar bandit chieftain and the guard army under the command of the Privy Council.
The garrison armies are generally stationed in key areas of the country.
The area around the capital city in the north was the key garrison area of the Tatar army and the Tanma Red Army.
On the north bank of the Yellow River, it was mainly garrisoned by the Han army and the new attached army, and part of the Tatar supervision army and the Tanma Red army were deployed.
Other frontier areas were guarded by the Tatar aristocracy and the armies of the indigenous tribes.
Officers at all levels were generally allowed to be hereditary, but they were subject to the transfer and appointment of the chief Kublai Blaze.
At this time, the Tatar army was organized according to the decimal system, divided into ten thousand households, with about 3,000 to 7,000 troops; 1,000 households, with a total of 300 to 700 troops; 100 households, leading 30 to 100 soldiers; The brand leads about 10 soldiers and waits for level 4.
The non-Tatar descent of the Ten Thousand Households Mansion and the Thousand Households also placed the "Daru Huachi", which was a prison officer, and was exclusively held by a Tatar or Semu noble.
In the slight autumn breeze, the hundred households of Dasilda led more than 30 cavalry leisurely patrolling...... Their gaze was just above the yellow corn that had begun to wither on the field, which the farmers kept for the winter fires.
Since the Tatars also learned to silage for wintering, they have become more and more interested in corn cultivation...... They also know that they can earn money by planting cotton, but planting corn can not only feed people, but the silage plants can also feed war horses!
Of course, letting them plant is as uncomfortable as killing them...... Some of them are Han people from the north, and it is just right to keep them in captivity to grow dry fields!
The Hundred Households led the troops to inspect, on the one hand, to ensure the safety of the southeast of the capital, and on the other hand, to warn those northern Han people not to escape from here.
Persons such as the Tatar army, the Tanma Red Army, and the Han Army were exempt from paying land tax if they occupied less than four hectares of land, and were generally exempt from miscellaneous labor.
In fact, the land occupied by 100 households has long been more than 10 percent, and there are enough 50 northern Han people in captivity to farm the land...... He only gave them some food to keep them alive and continue to work, and as for the rest, don't even think about it!
The life of the hundred households of Dasilda and his own family began to be difficult.
Among the armies in the foreign garrisons, most of the families of the Tatar army and the Tanma Red Army migrated with the army, not far from the cantonment site, and they were also under the management of a specially set up management agency.
The organization, known as the Oulu, supervised the dispatch of military households, ensured that there was sufficient supply of soldiers in time of war, and requisitioned money and goods from military households to their relatives.
Previously, everyone's life was better, and every time the army went south, they could gain something more or less...... Oulu also rarely levied money or goods from military households such as the Hundred Lorddardas.
But since the appearance of Liuqiu pirates on the East Shandong Road, everyone knows that the army has suffered setbacks one after another...... Not only did they lose their harvest, but they were often requisitioned by Oulu to support the so-called 30,000 elite horsemen.
Although I heard that I had received a lot of materials from the Great Song Dynasty, I couldn't see anything like the identity of Da Sierda, who was a hundred households...... The things that the family had accumulated before were getting less and less.
The hundred households of Daselda are helpless, and the families of his subordinates are even more miserable...... Fortunately, someone came up with the idea of catching more Han people from the north to grow corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes from the south...... In this way, everyone can barely eat and clothe.
The dry land along the riverbank is their breadth.
The hundred-hundred-household-d'a-d'a-s-d's hands inspect the dry lands as if they were their own property...... This autumn's harvest is not bad, it should be a little better than last year.
At this time, one of his subordinates suddenly shouted: "·#¥¥%*......!" ”
Hundred-hundred-huso Dasilda was taken aback.
What the? Where are the big boats on this river?
He looked up at the river, and sure enough, he saw three huge ships moving forward!
