Chapter 403: Riding an elephant back to the division
Lord Huang walked away arrogantly, and Sao Bao rode on the war elephant and waved goodbye to the city, never taking away a trace of clouds, and definitely taking away gold and beauty. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Riding a war elephant is absolutely safe and secure, because there are two Han people who will serve the elephant, and they volunteer to be elephant slaves for Lord Huang, who does not need to climb mountains and wade through rivers on foot when he returns to his teacher.
When the Ming army came, there were more than 10,000 people, and when they returned, the number of men and horses doubled, and Rao was so fast that the route was already familiar, and there were many more large animals and laborers.
Those women climbed mountains and waded through rivers no worse than the Black Tigers, and were even stronger than the majestic Mongols on horseback.
Since the decision was made to take these women home, the Huang family's private soldiers did not treat them as enemies, made them eat the same food and sleep in the same tents, and gave each of them several sets of clothes.
The Huang family's private soldiers took the initiative to take a few women and teach them the language and the simplest Chinese characters.
The women of this country have even less status, and they have to serve men all the time, and they belong to one of the most industrious women. They saw the friendly private soldiers of the Huang family, and they were respected, and the resistance to food and clothing was slowly eliminated.
Huang Jiajun is strict in discipline, and he will not do such a beast as insulting women, and Huang Sheng doesn't care what happens when a hot-blooded young man takes a few women to study.
You and I are willing to do no harm, as long as you don't neglect your duties while on duty, but the soldiers know that it is enough to stop, because they are afraid that from now on they will leave a stain of misconduct, which will affect their promotion in the future.
The head of the family often gives lectures, asking everyone to have patience and be able to control their desires, and repeatedly emphasizes that people who can't even manage their own subordinates are afraid that it will be difficult to manage thousands of troops.
Along the way, more than a dozen war elephants became the means of transportation that the officers took turns to ride, and everyone felt fresh.
The black tiger rode the war elephant a few times and was deeply touched, and he said loudly to Huang Sheng: "My lord, if my musketeers have two soldiers hiding in the rattan basket on the elephant's back and shooting, against the Jiannu cavalry, it will be invincible, and the Jiannu riding a war horse can't reach the warriors in the rattan basket at all, and the war elephant will also use the ivory to take the initiative to attack the Jiannu war horse." ”
Huang Sheng laughed and said: "The black tiger is reasonable, if Jiannu hits Yunnan and Guangxi, we will do it with them." ”
The black tiger was not stupid, and immediately understood what the head of the family meant, and his face was red with shame.
Huang Dongshan said with a smile: "Hit Yunnan and Guangxi? Does Jiannu have this ability? Our Huang family will be peaceful in Liaodong in a few years, how can we let Jiannu continue to jump. ”
The black tiger sneered: "I just put forward an idea, don't I know that Jiannu's strength will soon be inferior to our Huang family." ”
Huang Dongshan was in a good mood for a while, and sang loudly: "Daming, Daming, how many heroes and heroes have come to admire you ......." ”
Soon the whole army was singing, and the heroic song "Great Ming" echoed in the valley.
500 Guangnan soldiers and 3,000 laborers served the Ming army even more wholeheartedly when they returned, and when they camped at night, they all competed to wash their feet and serve the Ming soldiers, with a humble face.
Lord Huang Sheng, who had received too many benefits, did not treat these people badly, and each person on the spot rewarded two people with a share of the two of them, and let the Han people of Lancang Kingdom send them one by one.
Two taels of silver can buy more than five stones of rice in Guangnan Kingdom, and can feed a family for more than half a year, and 3,500 soldiers and civilians in Guangnan Kingdom kowtow one by one to thank them, and then they are more energetic and more thoughtful.
The Han people of Lancang State saw that the people of Guangnan who often bullied them were so in awe of the army of the motherland, and they all felt the strength of the motherland, and they were honored one by one, and they also learned from the Ming army to straighten their waists.
Huang Mingdao first took the "Liaodong" to run with some warships and cargo ships, and Lingao was only more than 200 nautical miles away from Feifu, and it was enough to run back and forth for four or five days.
Lingao's large-scale construction of factories in Tuntian is endless, and of course it cannot be given up.
Hu Minh Son and Nguyen Phuc Kang accompanied the lord to Huang Sheng's flagship to meet him, and the lord of Quang Nam once again carefully prepared the tributary items, and the tone of the letter of state was more humble, and they refused to mention the matter of taking Xialao City at Huang Sheng's request.
Because Ruan Fuyuan learned that this time it was completely the private work of Lord Huang of the Ming Dynasty who was hiding from the imperial court. The Lancang Kingdom was also once a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty that paid tribute every year, and the Ming would never admit that it had attacked Xialiao City.
Ruan Fuyuan saw that an official in the Ming Dynasty had the terrifying force to guide the country, what should the entire Ming Dynasty do?
He no longer dared to imagine what Da Ming should be so strong, and he swore loyalty in front of Huang Sheng, saying that he would be loyal to Da Ming for generations.
Huang Sheng had a good conversation with the lord of Guangnan, leaving him to attend the dinner, and it was not comfortable to push the cup and change the lamp with the ministers of Guangnan.
Huang Sheng didn't think in his heart that any of the vassal councils were loyal, whether they surrendered or not depended on whether the Ming was strong or not, as long as the Ming was strong enough, they couldn't help but disobey, and it was okay if they didn't surrender if they didn't have the strength to catch them.
The vast Ming fleet returned to the south with the warm welcome of the people of Quang Nam and Western merchants, and the ships were loaded with most of the wealth plundered by a rich city, worth more than 500,000 taels of gold, including more than 300,000 taels of spot gold.
After a day and a half of sailing, the fleet arrived at the completed Lingao Port.
This time, it is necessary to bring back the Ma San musketeers who stayed in Lingao, and only leave some officers to enrich the grassroots forces.
Lingao has now trained a general musketeer, a general cavalry, and a cold-armed infantryman.
Several times in a row, the number of grass-roots officers and civilian officers in Lingao has been added, where there are now more than 3,000 township warriors in training, and Ge Chengjie served as the commander of the township warriors with the official position of 100 households in the regular army.
Zhou Dazhuang, a musketeer officer who was born as a slender boy, took over Ma San's position as the commander of the patrol department, and Huang Shengke didn't care about the military attache of the Ming Patrol Inspection Division, and gave Zhou Dazhuang the treatment of the military attache of the Huang family's soldiers and soldiers.
Huang Sheng gave Ge Chengjie a task, to acquire and breed and train hunting dogs in large quantities, this task is not difficult, in this era, hunters almost all take hunting dogs to hunt, and it is not complicated to spend money and food to buy good hunting dogs to breed.
The meaning of cats and dogs and four means that cats can give birth to kittens in three months, and dogs only need four months, and it is very possible to have three or four seven or eight in a litter, so their reproduction rate is amazing.
Huang Sheng needed a large number of hunting dogs to prepare for the resumption of the soil, and with Hainan Island as a springboard, attacking from the sea would be quite convenient logistical support, which was much more convenient than trekking from the 100,000 mountains of Guangxi.
The long and narrow territory of the Great Viet Kingdom is their shortcoming, and the Huang family's unrivaled navy is a huge advantage. Attack the shortcomings of the other with your own strengths, and it is not far from time to regain the soil.
The Huang family needs that good place to grow three crops a year to support the people, so they have to be sorry for Da Yueguo.
Because of the lessons of the past, the Ming Dynasty just couldn't stand the monkey-like army of the Great Yue Kingdom jumping around and fighting guerrillas, and the consumption was too great to outweigh the losses, and finally gave up Annam.
When the Huang family obtained this place, they had to pull nets and fill in the pits one by one, and those who dared to come out to fight guerrillas were directly eliminated, hiding in underground caves, and searching out the holes through hunting dogs to fill them directly, so that they could never come out again, just like the U.S. military wiped out the Japanese troops hiding in the underground fortifications on Okinawa Island.
In order to ensure that Hainan Island, which had been successfully infiltrated, would eventually become one of the Huang family bases, a strong intelligence network must be established.
