Chapter 591: The Fire Tree and Silver Flower Never Sleep

There are hundreds of large and small rivers that originate in the Yanshan Mountains and flow through the western Liaoning corridor, and as long as large and small reservoirs are built to manage small watersheds, it is not a dream to ensure harvest in drought and flood.

The key is that the investment is huge, except for Huang Sheng, who dares to throw real money outside the pass? Aren't they afraid that the slaves will come and loot once and everything will come to naught?

Who can have the courage to invest millions of taels of silver in water conservancy facilities? Landlords, old wealth, dignitaries and nobles are probably unprofitable goods, and the risk of investment outside the customs is huge, who dares to try? Huang Sheng was the one to do.

Increasing the number of 20,000 strong laborers in Zhongmingbao will increase the sown area by 1 million mu, and the grain output in the coming year will prevent too many people in the north from starving to death, and the grain here will naturally attract more people who cannot survive to take refuge, and the population will double over time.

The next step is to operate the area from Ningyuan West to Shanhaiguan as solid, so that there is no difference between here and Guannei, and the people feel safe, thinking that they can gain a long-term foothold here and settle down with peace of mind.

Huang Sheng was not going to build any city or side walls like the Great Wall, as long as he set up a position dominated by moats in areas where cavalry could rush in groups.

Just like the defensive positions of the early 20th century, these semi-permanent fortifications were enough to hold the dangerous points in the west of Ningyuan to deal with the Tartar and Jiannu cavalry attacks.

The cost of building such fortifications is much less than that of building the Great Wall, the defense will be strengthened, and there is also the added advantage that you can choose to lure the enemy into the battle and attack, and you can get the capture after giving a blow.

Under normal circumstances, the enemy's soldiers and horses attacked the Great Wall and the city, and the Ming army could only watch the enemy drag away the corpses and retreat.

The trench battle will not be so tragic, as long as the enemy enters the battle, with the combat effectiveness of the Huang family and horses, it is guaranteed that none of them can run, and the dead and alive will become captured.

The Huang family has a lot of horses, so of course they must leave heavy troops stationed in Zhongming Fort in order to operate the Western Liaoning Corridor for a long time.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the south of Jinzhou, He Kegang and Lu Zhi brought a group of Jinzhou civil and military forces to thank the Duke of Nanguo, but unfortunately they didn't see it.

Wang Yingchao and Liu Guozheng met with them, and He Kegang and the others learned that Nan Guogong was unwell and had gone to the warship for examination, and might need further hospitalization.

He Kegang can be said to have raised his eyebrows in the battle last night, planning to kill more than 200 Jiannu soldiers, more than 300 Tartars, more than 1,000 stick soldiers, and about 300 Houjin Han troops.

He sincerely came to thank Nan Guogong for saving his life, who knew that he was dragging his sick body to support the command, and now that the dust has settled, he can no longer hold on and finally be bedridden.

The hero sighed with tears in his eyes, and his original joy immediately dimmed a lot .......

————

On the street outside the Chongwen Gate of the Beijing Division, the knights immediately shouted all the way: "Jinzhou victory, Jinzhou victory, Jiannu fled in the wilderness, and the southern princes and horses entered the Jinzhou city ......." ”

The capital was a sensation, "crackling...... The sound of firecrackers sounded on the street, and then the whole city was setting off firecrackers, and too many people came to the street to cheer, and the festive shouts soared into ......the sky.

In the imperial city, the radiant Emperor Chongzhen strode to the Imperial Palace, and the civil and military generals had been waiting for a long time.

Xiong Ming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I am very happy, the Nanguo Gong succeeded in rescuing Jinzhou, and the slave chieftains were defeated and fled eastward, and the losses of my Ming Dynasty in this battle were minimal, and the Dongnu suffered heavy losses, and there were countless burdens abandoned outside Jinzhou City!" ”

All the civil and military people made fun of it, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Hong Fu Qitian, long live, long live!" ”

"Everyone, Aiqing, Xiong Aiqing, do you know how much Nanguo Gong has won?"

Xiong Mingyu replied: "Your Majesty, Jiannu has just retreated, and the capture is still being counted, and there should be a report from Tangbao in the next two days." ”

Chongzhen, who was full of smiles, said: "Spread the order that the Nanguo Gong class will return to the dynasty, and I will reward him generously!" ”

Zhang Weixian, who was standing in the front row of the noble team on the left side of the emperor's throne, chuckled in his heart, and he did not have any joy at all when he learned that his son-in-law had won a great victory under the city of Jinzhou.

Because this is expected, today the emperor ordered his son-in-law to return to Beijing, in case that kid is disobedient and dares to come to Beijing to hang out, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out.

Although he was anxious, he still maintained his usual smile, and he couldn't raise any objections, and the scheming British public thought in his heart that as soon as he dispersed, he would send his henchman Ding to Jinzhou to find his son-in-law, and only spread one sentence: Don't get carried away.

Emperor Chongzhen had already made up his mind, and summoned the Duke of Nanguo to give him the title of county king, and let Huang Sheng enjoy the glory and wealth in Beijing from now on, and never let him leave, that is, to support this "God of War".

Wang Gongchang Street was very lively, that was Lan Shangyi organized many floats to swagger through the market, put out many banners, printed many leaflets to publicize the great achievements of Nanguo Gong.

There are too many top popular superstars in the Ming Dynasty to form a street parade team really attracted attention, and the people of Beijing also responded positively, the mighty team is getting bigger and bigger, and the team goes out of the inner city and into the outer city to push the celebration to a climax.

When night comes, gorgeous fireworks bloom in the night sky one by one, and the fire trees and silver flowers never night are exactly this scene.

On Wanggongchang Street in the inner city of Jingshi, Guangqumen Inner Street in the outer city, and Chongwenmen Outer Street, Cai'er's crew selected open space to build three huge stages, and they were ready to perform for free for the people of Jingshi until midnight.

Zhang Zhiji is very nervous, with such a large-scale gathering of ordinary people, the security work can not be ambiguous at all, and maintaining order will also test the mobilization ability of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses!

In mid-May, the summer night heat has just disappeared, and the sound of silk and bamboo comes from the colorful Jingshi Street.

The smiling Shengdou Xiaomin and the embarrassed dignitaries crowded together to enjoy a show, and too many people couldn't hear the lyrics clearly, and could only read the lyrics through the light subtitles written under the stage that read "Huaxia Daqian Village" sponsored performance.

I'm sorry, the Huang family's advertising awareness is omnipresent, how can such a rare popularity not be widely advertised?

Fortunately, although the people on stage today are all famous red officials, no one sang a new song, and a well-known repertoire of the Ming military and civilians and officials was staged again, and finally tens of thousands of people sang the same song .......

Just like the concerts of later generations, I don't know who took the lead, and the big stars will usher in thunderous shouts when they perform on stage, and they shout familiar names with a look of excitement.

"Like a dream, like a dream, sing a ...... again."

"Liu is like this, let's have another ......."

"Mei'er, don't be in a hurry to leave, we still have to listen to you sing ......." ……

Emperor Chongzhen, who was also in a good mood, was accompanied by Wang Chengen with a clairvoyant mirror to look at the direction of Wang Gongchang, which came from the singing, thoughtfully.
