Lord Huang was going to cross the sea with cavalry, and the soldiers under the command of Qinggeltai were seasick nine times out of ten, and Huang Sheng asked Nekhalkha not to send troops this time to help maintain law and order in Zhongming Fort. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Huang Dongshan led the young musketeers to screen more than 5,000 people within a hundred miles of Zhongming Fort who were arrested on the shielded battlefield, more than 100 people were already able to confirm that they were Han spies who had been mixed in by Jiannu, and did not kill them, but were sent to the cement factory for 20 years to be used as cattle and horses.

There are also more than 100 people with suspicious appearances, and there is no way to determine whether they are Jiannu and meticulous, in the spirit of humanitarianism, in line with the consistent style of the Huang family, who does not wronged a good person or let go of a bad person, restricts the personal freedom of these people.

All of them were sent to Juehua Island to do the manual work of crushing raw materials, so that they could be isolated from the world for three years, and then said, if they remembered how to prove their innocence during the labor period, they could be returned to freedom if they found a person certificate, not a labor reform, and the monthly salary would be halved according to the standard of a free person, and all the treatment would be half.

There were less than 5,000 people, most of them peasants, and there were some Mongolian herdsmen, who incorporated the Mongols into the Nekhalkha tribe and handed them over to the management of Qinggeltai, and all the Han Chinese remained in Zhongmingbao as cantonments.

The household registration system of Zhongmingbao has been formed, and these people are registered as more than 900 households, and each household has a man, which is also the standard of the Ming Dynasty.

Each household gave them 50 acres of land, but now they have missed the agricultural time, so they can only grow some vegetables and reserve them for the winter. The Huang family paid for them to build water conservancy facilities, and the fields too far away from the river were filled with 20 acres of irrigation wells to dig wells.

These more than 4,500 Han Chinese were blessed by misfortune, and they were able to eat and drink while being sheltered in Zhongming Fort, and the housing provided here was spacious and bright, still in the city, much better than the leaky ground where they used to leak everywhere.

Now they are allowed to settle down here from now on, and each family is also given 50 acres of land, and now everyone builds ditches and wells for the fields they have been allocated, and the Huang family also gives money and grain, and each family also provides a large animal, and many horses and soldiers and civilians will come to help the farmers free of charge when the farm is busy.

Of course, the people are grateful for such a good thing, and everyone expressed their obedience to the management of the Huang family, and let the men in the family follow the Huang family to train, hoping that they can protect their homes in the future.

Ma Shihu happily took 800 cavalry and more than 1,000 infantry to accompany the Huang family to Niangniang Palace by boat, and more than 600 of these soldiers were also seasick, but the reaction was not too intense, and their faces were pale and groggy when they took the boat.

One by one, they took the initiative to ask Lord Huang to take them, telling them that as long as they went ashore, they would be relieved in half a day.

This time they were ready to stick to the beachhead, and it was of course better to have more than 600 soldiers who took the initiative to ask for battle, and Huang Sheng agreed to everyone's request and affirmed their enthusiasm for killing the enemy.

Ma Shihu still has half of his subordinates and Qinggeltai's subordinates to assist in the defense of Zhongming Fort, there is no way that they are too seasick, so they will help build water conservancy facilities after training! The Huang family calculates the working hours according to the labor they have paid, and makes some extra money for everyone.

Everyone responded to the call of the Huang family, and the Inner Khalkha Mongols and Shanhaiguan soldiers would do their best to complete the task, and everyone knew that they would not suffer a loss by doing things for the Huang family.

Huang Sheng ordered Xiao Taiji to take the means of controlling a radius of fifty li, and to the east with Gaotai Fort as a garrison and extending to the Yanshan Mountain Range, this territory was not allowed to be touched by anyone.

The Huang family didn't have enough strength to control the Liaoxi Corridor, but now they had the ability to cut it off. Whether it is the Ming army, the Mongols, or the Jiannu passing through here, they will be monitored.

The Mongols who came here were all arrested and incorporated into the Qinggeltai tribe, and the Han people were all detained and screened and guarded on the spot, as long as they found that all the Jiannu were killed, and the Ming army who monitored the area of Gaotai Fort and Zhongming Fort did not allow them to disturb the people.

If it is found that there are scum of the Ming army harassing and plundering the common people, the remaining troops are allowed to attack and disarm them, and they are all arrested and reformed through labor, and they are not afraid of causing trouble.

There are thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry patrols in this place, I am afraid that no small Mongolian tribe can move their minds, and the Hongyi cannon of Zhongming Fort is not a decoration, and whoever comes to loot may not be able to gain more than it loses.

Seeing that the task left to him was so simple and sullen, Huang Sheng gave him a bad idea, telling Qinggeltai not to be idle, and to take advantage of the battle between Jiannu and the Ming army under the city of Jinzhou to rely on Gaotai Fort to enter the Yanshan Mountains to the west, conquer the small Mongolian tribes there, and strive to expand the territory of the people.

Time has passed, Xiao Taiji has adapted to his identity, he already has the most desired, this time after following Lord Huang to fight, he has even more yearning, he continues to enhance his strength, and it seems that it is not out of reach to be a big sweat!

Qinggeltai was no longer depressed, his eyes began to glow, how fierce it should be to grab the territory, the population, and everything that can be robbed!

June to September is the time when the Xiaoling River is at its most watery, and the sediment content of the river is much smaller because the vegetation in the upper reaches is not destroyed to pieces as in later generations.

The draft of the No. 2 Fu ship is too deep, and it is too easy to run aground when it comes in, and the No. 3 Fu ship is barely feasible, and it can only come in for more than ten miles, and it will not work if it sails to the northeast.

This was enough, and early in the morning of June 4, the Huang family came with 20 straw boats, and 80 horse boats brought more than 4,000 horses that had been transferred to Juehua Island to the Niangniang Palace to land.

The engineers were familiar with sealing the docks of the pontoons and splicing them 50 paces wide and 15 paces from the river beach, and the tidal flats along the river were paved with prefabricated slabs to ensure that horses and vehicles would not sink into it and affect their mobility.

The more than 4,000 Ming troops with strong soldiers and horses are not at all one or two Jiannu Niulu can attack, they suddenly landed on the shore, Jiannu did not know, it is impossible to have too many Jiannu cavalry to arrive when the foothold is not stable, and the men and horses are less that is to send military merit.

More than 1,000 cavalry and heavy infantry lined up to escort them, and the Shanhaiguan infantry, engineers, auxiliaries, and Funing laborers were rushing to build a beachhead.

What the Huang family built is no longer a breastwork as the name suggests, they are more than one person high, and a shooting hole is reserved every half a step, and outside the breastwork is a trench more than two steps deep and three steps wide, up to three hundred steps, and here is one hundred and fifty steps away from the riverside wharf.

Huang Sheng had the ability to dig a wide trench but did not do so, so as to create the fact that Jiannu could jump over the horse and gallop, so that they thought that it was possible to take this place easily.

The purpose, of course, was to lure Jiannu to attack him and inflict a large number of casualties on the enemy in the battle for position.

When Jiannu found that a Ming army had sneaked up on the bank of the Xiaoling River in Niangniang Palace, it was already noon, and a beachhead with a certain defensive force had already been formed with the joint efforts of more than 3,000 people.

This is the advantage of being well prepared, it is too easy to use sacks and straw bales to take earth fortifications on the soft river beach, suspension bridges and gates are prefabricated products, which have been stored in horse boats, and even the lifting rollers and pulley sets are finished products, which can be used directly to assemble them.

One thousand one thousand cavalry and six hundred heavy infantry had withdrawn to the bunker by means of a drawbridge, ten six-pounder field guns had been deployed, twelve of the straw skimming boats had crossed behind the dock, and seventy-two black guns pointed to the north.

Of course, when the real fight starts, only 24 rifled guns can participate in the battle, the range of the smoothbore guns is limited, the muzzle of the guns is close to 300 steps from the breastwork, if the control is not satisfactory when firing the artillery, it is very likely to hit your own people and destroy the breastwork.

It's too dangerous to put a smoothbore gun into battle, it's just a façade.

There were also eight grass skimming boats and 20 horse boats cruising within 20 miles of the estuary of the Xiaoling River.

In a four-zhang high lookout post quickly built by the engineers with Huang's prefabricated angle steel and fasteners, Lord Huang Sheng and Huang Mingli personally used fixed binoculars to look at the north.

This is the convenient condition of fighting in the coastal sea with the backing of a strong fleet, and the materials carried by the horse boats are all available, and it is better to be prepared than to use them, and if these hundreds of thousands of catties of materials are transported by land, and only one nest is moved, I am afraid that all the horses will be tired enough.

The hastily cutting down trees to build a lookout post was time-consuming, laborious, and unstable, and the lookout post was built by a regularly trained engineer corps with prefabricated angle steel, which was completed in less than an hour. The terrain was not very familiar when he came here, and there were sixty or seventy thousand troops in Jiannu here, so Huang Sheng did not take the risk of sending a secret post to go deeper.

The first is that the young musketeers are afraid that the young musketeers will be blocked by Jiannu and cause senseless sacrifices. The second is the fear that the capture of the fixed telescope by Jiannu will expose how the Ming army anticipated the enemy in advance.
