Chapter 276: The Qing Soldiers' Reaction
The fleet left Jiaozhou Bay to transport migrants to Daishan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć It will take at least a month for Info to go back and forth, and in this month, Ren Siqi needs to lead his subordinates to stick to Jiaozhou.
It was planned to recruit nearly 10,000 infantry, but with the current capacity of the fleet, only 4,000 soldiers and their families could be transported in one batch. So at least one more shipment will be required to complete this recruitment.
Every day, people rush to the city of Jiaozhou from the nearby villages, wanting to go to the south where they can eat and eat, and the description in the mouth of the Daishan soldiers from Jiaodong is too beautiful, so that every people who have heard it yearn for it.
Have you ever thought about having sweet rice for every meal? Can you imagine being able to eat fish every day? Can you imagine that children can read for free and glorify their ancestors in the future? As long as you are willing to join the Daishan Army, all this can be achieved!
People flocked to Jiaozhou from all over the country, only to be told that it would take a month for the fleet to return.
The people who were close to Jiaozhou went home and waited a month to come back. Those who were far away from home and brought their families with them stayed outside Jiaozhou City, waiting for the arrival of the Daishan fleet.
In June, there is nothing wrong with sleeping in the wilderness outside the city except for mosquitoes. Just build a shelter and shelter it when it rains. As a result, dense sheds appeared outside Jiaozhou City. Every day, hundreds of families from all over the countryside come to the desirable south.
Facing more and more people outside the city, Ren Siqi was happy and worried. The people say that there are more people who want to immigrate to Daishan, and it is worth being happy that the recruitment work can be completed quickly. But if there are many people, it will be difficult to control, and it will be easy to cause chaos.
In order to control the situation, Ren Siqi ordered the screening of the people who came one after another, and those who met the recruitment conditions were issued with wooden card vouchers, with which they could receive porridge and food every day. If you don't meet the conditions, that is, if you don't have a strong man at home to be a soldier, you will be given some food to drive away.
This is a bit cruel, but there is no way, with the current strength of Daishan, it is not possible to relieve all the people in Shandong. Because of wars and natural and man-made disasters, countless homeless people and countless beggars have been created in the land of Qilu. Those who have young and strong men in the family can still have a way to live, and the old and weak who do not have strong men can only become beggars and beg everywhere. There are many such beggars and displaced people in Shandong, and if there is relief, they will not be able to help them at all.
There was no way, Ren Siqi could only give such an order. The soft-hearted Huang Fengwu was quite critical of Ren Siqi's decision, and argued with Ren Siqi many times, but in the face of reality, he could only sigh, and then took people out of the city to inspect to prevent possible riots. If there are many people, anything can happen, and if you don't control it, it will cause chaos.
In ten days, more than 2,000 households and six or seven thousand people have gathered outside the city of Jiaozhou, and the sheds outside the city are densely packed, forming a new village. Although there were many people, there was no strange disturbance.
Thanks to the Daishan Army's strong organizational skills, every time a new citizen arrived, they would be led to the conscription point, and if they met the conscription conditions, the young men would be immediately recruited into the army, and their families would be led to the settlement.
According to the establishment of the small flag general flag team, Ren Siqi and others divided the outside of the city into small areas, and the families of the soldiers of each team lived together. Newly recruited soldiers, on the other hand, were allowed to live with their families at night, and were required to gather together for simple training during the day.
Ren Siqi inserted veterans of the Daishan Army into the recruits, served as officers of the Xiaoqi General Flag Team, and completely organized these people together according to the structure of the Daishan Army.
Therefore, although the number of people outside the city is large, everything is in order and there is no chaos at all.
As long as they are recruited by the Daishan Army, regardless of the soldiers or their families, the Daishan Army is responsible for two meals a day, and they don't have to fire themselves.
Ren Siqi purchased hundreds of cauldrons in Jiaozhou City, recruited young women from the soldiers' families as his husbands, and was responsible for cooking for all the soldiers and civilians.
Ren Siqi appointed Ren Likun, Sha Qianli, Chen Mingyang and others as recruits and was responsible for the training of these soldiers.
Every day after breakfast, all the recruits are pulled out and practiced in the open space outside the city. The training was carried out in full accordance with the training regulations of the Daishan Army, and the first training was the array.
Turn left, turn right, turn back, walk in unison, it's these things every day. These people who have just put down their hoes have been practicing one by one. But no one dares to be lazy, the fathers and elders on one side are watching from the side, and laziness will be punished, which will make the family's face shameful. Those who are often lazy and disobey discipline will be expelled and disqualified from going to Daishan.
When the recruits were training, Ren Siqi was even more meticulous to investigate the movements of the Qing soldiers. It had been several days since the occupation of Jiaozhou, and Wang Ao, the governor of Qing and Shandong in Jinan, and Wang Ao, Yongfang Dayou, and others must have known about the fall of Jiaozhou. You have to guard against their possible attacks.
With the capture of Jiaozhou, the original Ming army in Jiaodong was also active, several Ming troops were attacking Dengzhou, and Qingzhou seemed to be attacked by Li Shiyuan. Before attacking Qingzhou, Li Shiyuan sent someone to send a letter to Ren Siqi, asking him to join forces to attack Qingzhou. However, the Daishan army had very few troops, and Ren Siqi naturally did not want to divide his troops, so he politely refused him.
Li Shiyuan's son Li Ding is currently serving as a small banner in the Daishan Army, Ren Siqi once asked him if he would like to return to his father, who thought that Li Ding stayed in the Daishan Army and was emotional, and he was not willing to go to his father at all.
......
On the shore of Daming Lake in Jinan, the Yamen of the Governor of Shandong Province in the Qing Dynasty.
Wang Aoyong, the governor of Shandong in the Qing Dynasty, and Fang Dayou, the governor of Shandong, were discussing how to deal with the resurgence of the Ming army in the Jiaodong area.
Since the beginning of April, Fang Dayou and Wang Aoyong, who were originally Ming officials, successively recommended themselves to the Manchu prince Dolgon Mao, and were willing to appease Shandong for the Qing Dynasty. Since being sent to Shandong, after unremitting efforts, the two have appeased most of Shandong, and various prefectures and counties have successively written letters of surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
With this merit, Wang Aoyong was appointed governor of Shandong, and Fang Dayou also obtained the position of governor of Shandong.
However, it is not so easy for high-ranking officials of different races to do, and many relatives and friends disdain to settle with the two, and have drawn a line with them one after another. For those who aspire to be traitors for the sake of fame and fortune, these infamy will not care at all. There are many other things that can cause headaches for them, such as riots in various places.
Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Laizhou, Jiaozhou, each of the state capitals had riots, so that the governor of Jinan, Yamen, could not deal with it.
When they went south to Shandong, the two brought only a small number of retinues, and there were no soldiers to follow. Now the army in the hands of the two is more than 3,000 people, and they are all composed of the original surrendered Ming army.
In the face of Nuoda's Shandong, this amount of troops is of course stretched. But in the face of the rebellion, they had to think about pacifying, the Manchu Qing were not as good as the Ming Dynasty, and they did not dare to sit idly by.
"Brother Yunsheng, you are in Jinan, I will lead the troops to Qingzhou first to quell Li Shiyuan's rebellion, and then go to Jiaozhou to deal with the Ming army coming from the sea!" Wang Aoyong, the governor of Shandong in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, said to the governor Fang Dayou. (To be continued.) )
