Chapter 496: Steady and Steady
Ma Xiangling didn't have much combat experience, and this expedition felt exciting and fresh, and she had long fantasized about being able to fight on the battlefield. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Hearing the conversation between the chief general and the senior general, I found that they didn't look down on their opponents at all, thinking that this lord was too young and arrogant after all, and the opponent was a country that had been inherited for more than 200 years!
Liu Guozheng said: "The lower officials listen to the adults, and the general manager of the pro-soldier team will leave a general flag to guard the Chinese army, and let them draw lots to decide who will stay." ā
"Alas!" Huang Sheng sighed, put down the "lucky axe" he had been playing with, and said depressedly: "You all have the opportunity to kill the enemy face to face, I'm afraid this official won't even have a chance to shoot in the future." ā
Liu Guozheng laughed and said: "That is, now that our soldiers are strong and strong, and you want to shoot in person, wouldn't it be shameful to kill your subordinates?" ā
Huang Sheng looked at his loader, pointed at them and said to Liu Guozheng: "When you send out your own troops, let Xiao Shi and Xiao Wei also go to experience the experience, and I am afraid that I will not get the opportunity to fight if I follow this official." They are all good seedlings. ā
The eight loaders were overjoyed when they heard this, and said in unison: "Humble thanks to the cultivation of the teacher." ā
Liu Guozheng said: "Xia Guan understands that he will take care of his brothers and don't let a few little brothers suffer." ā
Liu Guozheng was a confidant after all, and immediately understood what the head of the family meant, and said that he did not need to worry about the safety of the eight loaders, he would pay attention.
Ma Xiangling interjected: "My lord, I also ask to go to the front army to kill the enemy, and I hope that my lord will be fulfilled." ā
"No, Miss Ma, haven't you noticed? Because you brought a general flag guard to protect the officer, is the officer ready to send his own guard? ā
Liu Guozheng, Li Ximing and other officers couldn't help but laugh when they saw the adults teasing the beauties, and their faces were strange.
Ma Xiangling is an honest girl, thinking that the adults value themselves so much, she is happy, and no longer asks to go to the front army to fight, and obediently trots around the war elephant.
Her own soldiers were all infantry, running and jogging behind, and no one was out of breath, which showed that her physical strength was at the top.
The army crossed the Beilun River and advanced steadily, and the first target of attack was Mong Cai.
This place was not a small city at all in this era, there were no city walls, and the population of the entire area was just over 10,000.
There was no fighting, but more than 200 Yue monkey soldiers were killed, and the Ming army completely seized the area, capturing 8,000 men and women as laborers.
The army continued to move south along the coastline, and finally there was a city of the Hou Li Dynasty, the county town of Hehui, where there was a city wall, and many soldiers and civilians of the Dayue Kingdom had already taken refuge in the county seat.
In the past, this place was often attacked by pirates, and everyone hid in the county seat, and the pirates had enough to rob, or found that this place was too poor and there was nothing to rob and naturally leave.
There were very few pirates willing to take casualties and try to attack the county.
Huang Sheng used cavalry to cross the river to block the soldiers and civilians fleeing south, and used the superior army to spread a large encirclement to round up the nearby Dayue soldiers and civilians as much as possible.
The prince of Hehui County, who tried in vain to hold on to the city, was shattered by the Huang family's artillery fire, and he saw that a large part of the city wall of Hehui, which was not even covered with bricks, was blown down, and he trembled with fright.
The Ming army did not aim to massacre, because Huang Sheng knew how many Han people in the Great Yue Kingdom were close to the Ming border.
The Kinh interpreters of the Great Viet Kingdom began to shout, and they spoke not only Vietnamese but also Chinese. Because there are too many people who can speak Chinese in Hehui County, there are also many Han people.
Looking at the thousands of troops pouring in outside the city, the people of Hehui County were dumbfounded, and they realized that it was not a pirate attack at all, but the Ming army coming.
There was no surprise, the whole city fell, and many people descended happily, and they were all Han Chinese expatriates.
As a result of the battle, there were more than 1,000 translators and more laborers in the Huang family, and more than 20,000 laborers, all because the encirclement drove all the soldiers and civilians from all over the country to Hehui County.
The army continued to build roads, and Huang Sheng left 1,000 Han families to immigrate, and 200 Han families living here assisted in garrisoning Hejuni to strengthen the city and enclose the land. Huang Jiayong, who left a hundred generals, was temporarily stationed in the city.
They have a few months to repair the city and train a thousand people to be strong, and in the future, there will be no danger of self-protection here, and soon there will be civil officials such as the chief of the Huang family, the chief of Jia, and of course the county magistrate will also appoint.
Huang Sheng announced the immediate implementation of the new immigration policy, each household to get five acres of self-reserved land, Bao Chang to get ten acres, A to the length of 15 acres, Li to grow 20 acres, Pavilion Chang to give 40 acres of land, the earliest to come can choose their favorite land, self-reserved land belongs to private property, but within ten years can not buy and sell each other.
If there is a job transfer, the Huang family will buy the silver at the market price or appraised value.
Every resident can lease fertile land according to the labor force of the family, and only need to pay 30% of the harvest according to the two crops, without any taxes and fees, and do not need to cash in, just pay grain.
Naturalized Han Chinese and new immigrants enjoy the same treatment, but they must set an example for new immigrants, and if the harvest of new immigrants is too different from the natives, they will be held accountable, and at the very least, the aboriginal land will be confiscated.
The new immigration policy has long been written, and Huang Jiayong is responsible for conveying more than a dozen households one by one, and everyone understands that the most excited are the aborigines.
They knew that they could be cultivated three times here, and the owner of the Huang family only collected taxes and fees for two crops, so they got too much more income, and there were five acres of self-reserved land that did not need to pay taxes.
This is the main reason why Huang Sheng needs to select two percent of the native farmers to cultivate here, and the reason why he must leave two percent of the natives mixed with sand.
This is because although the new immigrants brought in are hard-working farmers, they have no experience in farming in new territories.
The climatic conditions and soil conditions are completely different here, and they have no one to guide them to figure it out on their own, and they don't even know when to plant and when to harvest here.
I don't know how to manage the field, of course, I need the local people to teach by example, so as to ensure that the sweat paid becomes the harvest.
It is the wisdom of the rulers to make it mandatory to make it mandatory for each indigenous family to bring five new immigrants to help each other and ensure that it is not difficult to reap the fruits.
At this time, Huang Sheng spared no effort to provide the benefits of education, which reflected that everyone in the Huang family's senior township warriors could write and calculate, and one person was responsible for the management of more than a dozen families, and it was easy to convey relevant policies.
Huang Sheng led the Ming army to fight steadily, take a place, run a place, and repair the original official roads of the Dayue Kingdom, the standard is at least to ensure that two or three four-wheeled carriages can run side by side on the hard road.
The Ming army took away eighty percent of the local residents, took the property of the local squires and landlords as their own, and brought these people to work with the poor and middle peasants, leaving the aborigines who could speak Chinese, probably of Han descent, to assist the new immigrants in the settlement.
Fifteen days later, the army arrived at Ha Long Bay, leaving 10 hundred village warriors and 10,000 new immigrants along the way, plus the Han Dayue people, there were already 80,000 or 90,000 people in Tuntian, of which more than half of the labor force.
Huang Shenglai came to Halong Bay to find the best place to build a port, preparing to build Asia's largest all-weather seaport, with a natural deep-water port.
