Chapter 607: Arrangement along the river

Huang Sheng decided to strengthen Ma Yue's leadership team, so that they could complete the layout of the Central Plains faster and better, and once again added Ma Yue with a soldier who was selected by the hundred generals.

The composition of this hundred general soldiers are all intellectual young people of the Huang family, all of whom belong to reserve officers, and are led by Guo Sanxi, the newly promoted trainee general manager.

Guo Sanxi, who is tall and mighty, was promoted for meritorious service in Jinzhou, and now he is from the sixth grade to the top of the hundred generals, with two golden medals hanging on his chest.

If he does a good job in Henan, he will become a general manager of the six grades, and the young soldiers of knowledge he brings with him will become a grassroots officer.

Ma Yue, Guo Sanxi, Xu Sijiu and other officers are all real positions of the Huang family, and they are not treated the same as the military attachés of the Ming Dynasty, and they also have false titles in the imperial court, which are at least two levels higher than the actual ranks.

For example, Guo Sanxi can wear a military attache uniform from the fifth grade to deal with officials in the Central Plains as a test thousand households.

Huang Sheng left Guo Sanxi because he came from the Ming army, cold weapons and hot weapons are all-powerful, he has experience in leading a cold weapon team, and knows that those twists and turns in the Ming army will play a huge role in expanding the number of people in Henan.

The next stage of Ma Yue's task is to establish a base area, select a few strong cottages in Suizhou or local heroes to build manors with tall walls, and strengthen the defense against hoarding grain and grass.

They were required to separate the military and the people from the defenses they built, so as to avoid being mixed into the camp when accepting the refugees from taking refuge, and the rogue spies who were preparing to break the city should join forces to break through the defense line.

Why don't you let them run the county seat, the state town? Because the grandiose occupation of a city in the interior of the Ming Dynasty is not justified, it is impossible for the imperial court to turn a deaf ear.

There are too many armed forces here in Henan, and they have formed a village to protect themselves, and the rogue has come to fight the rogue bandits, and the officers and soldiers have come to fight the officers and soldiers, anyway, in addition to their own clans and clans, the outsiders who come are within their scope of attack.

But they will not leave their hometowns, and their purpose is to ensure their relatives, property, and food security.

Some of the fortresses built by the big clans were comparable to cities, which existed and continued during the chaos of the Five Hundreds, and the government did not ignore them and let them go.

Therefore, the Huang family also engaged in several such armed secessions, hiding troops in Henan, the purpose was not to suddenly attack the Ming government, but to use this as a base to fight the rogues and save a large number of Han people who had no food and clothing.

Huang Sheng is going to Malacca to expand his territory, and he may face many hostile forces, and maybe he will also have a local war with Xiyi.

In case their own attack plan is deviated and cannot be overwhelming, a large number of reinforcements will not come in a short time, and the people who brought them to expand the territory will be harassed or even slaughtered by the local natives in the case of a stalemate in the war.

The great migration needs to pay a high cost, and every ordinary person who bothers to bring it with labor must be taken care of, and if there are a large number of casualties, the next continued migration will be resisted.

If the common people find that they have left their hometowns to get a better life, but it is real to face death at any time, they will of course lose their enthusiasm for overseas development.

The best way to avoid this is to have enough force to maximize the margin to form an overwhelming force.

If we calculate the comparison of forces, we need to dispatch 10,000 troops to defeat the opponent, and the cautious Huang Sheng will bring at least 30,000 in case of accidents.

Trembling is like walking on thin ice, which is responsible for every soldier, and it is also dedicated to the common people who go with the army to expand the territory.

Therefore, Huang Sheng did not consider sending a large number of private soldiers to stay in the Central Plains for the time being, which would be a substitute for the emperor, and would attract the jealousy of the imperial court, which was purely thankless and asking for trouble.

Huang Sheng explained how Ma Yue and Guo Sanxi managed Henan in a low-key manner, so that they spared no effort to expand the supply points and did their best to rescue the people who were waiting to be fed.

The number of civilians rescued is the only measure of their merits, and killing the rogues can be done within their means, but it is not their first priority.

The credit for beheading a rogue is about equal to nothing, and the merit for beheading a rogue leader with a name and surname can be repaid.

Huang Sheng knew the aggressiveness of Guo Sanxi and the selected Huang family soldiers, if they killed ordinary rogues, they could also be regarded as military merits, and it was unknown that these boys might go to find rogues every day.

And most of the rogues come from outcasts who can't survive, what's the point of killing them?

Just kill the ringleaders who hold them hostage, and most of these rogues will turn back into good citizens.

Of course, Huang Sheng will not be merciful, as long as he has participated in the massacre of ordinary people, he will be settled by the Autumn Queen, and he will not hesitate to kill hundreds of rogues who have bloody cases in their hands but have already laid down their arms and surrendered.

The Haizhou base led by Zhu Rongguo will do everything possible to provide food to Henan. Soon a large number of general Xiangyong equipment will be delivered, and Huang Sheng asked Zhu Rongguo to be careful with these equipment, in case it falls into the hands of the rogue, it will be a big trouble.

After deploying the Central Plains strategy, the fleet continued to move south, and Huang Sheng stayed at the Huangjia supply base in Nantong Prefecture for three hours.

The Nanzhili Military Intelligence Department should cooperate with the deployment along the river and vigorously develop the Xiangyong armed forces, because Huang Sheng has openly not gone to Beijing, there is no longer any need to hide it.

Dangtu County, which is the Ma'anshan, Chizhou Prefecture, Jiujiang Prefecture of Jiangxi Province, Wuchang Prefecture of Huguang Province, Hankou Town of Hanyang County, Jingzhou Mansion and other places to operate supply depots in Nanzhili Taiping Prefecture is the later generation of Ma'anshan, Chizhou Prefecture, Jiujiang Prefecture of Jiangxi Province, Huguang Province, Wuchang Prefecture, Hanyang County, Jingzhou Prefecture and other places to operate supply depots, which must have a certain amount of force and defense.

In the future, all the supply stations will store a large amount of grain, and the silver treasury of the "Huaxia Daqian Zhuang" will also be built in the supply station, in the form of a small fortress near the river, and the best choice is to be able to get naval support quickly.

Yi Facai and others were inexplicably excited when they received the task, and the head of the family not only paid enough expenses, but also left more than 100 of them, all of which were run along the Yangtze River by reserve chief flag officers and above.

They believe that with the convenience of water transportation on the Yangtze River, the layout will be completed within a year. The population along the river in the Ming Dynasty is large, and it must be as much as there is to recruit laborers to build a fortress with money and grain in hand.

Select strong and responsible people among the hard-working laborers to give them the opportunity to join Huang Xiangyong, and train 10,000 Xiangyong who can fight in a year.

After explaining the arrangement along the river, Huang Sheng led the fleet to continue sailing, and when passing by Zhoushan and Daishan, he set up two thousand generals to take them south together.

When he returned to Yazhou on Hainan Island, it was already early December, and Xu Guangqi had come to Yazhou 10 days earlier, and the number of envoys announcing the decree was quite a few hundred.

Lu Xiuke, the chief officer of the Hainan Island Military Intelligence Department, had already received information that there were more than 100 Jinyi Wei lieutenants and Dongchang in the mission, and as soon as the head of the family returned, Lu Xiuke rushed to ask for instructions on whether he was considering leaving all the spies in Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
