It has begun to snow in the northeast, but it is still a cool late autumn around Tianjin, but for those Manchurians who have been driven to work hard and struggle to survive on the Haihe River and the construction site of Tianjin New Town, they are already feeling the chill to the bone.

Around the 50th year of Kangxi, the total number of bannermen, including account holders (note: the part of the Eight Banners of Manchuria), the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han Army Banner and the Han Baoyi, was about 400,000, and the total number of bannermen was about one million, of which eighty percent lived in Shuntianfu.

During the Northern Expedition of the Xia Army, the 120,000 Banner Army, including 35,000 leaders of 70 internal and external firearms battalions and 60,000 leaders of the 120,000 Banners of the New Army, were either annihilated or surrounded on the Anyang line together with part of the Green Banner Han Army, so there were only more than 600,000 bannermen left in Beijing. Of the more than 600,000 bannermen and their dependents, about 60,000 or 70,000 fled Beijing in time, and nearly 80,000 disappeared along with the Forbidden City, so only more than 400,000 fell into the hands of the Xia army, and even if we add the nearly 30,000 Manchus and Manchu dependents captured by Yang Bokang's troops on the way to the northeast, the total number is less than 500,000.

Two-thirds of the nearly 500,000 banner people were women and children, and although the Manchurians did not bind their feet, the river work was extremely hard, and the women and children went up to just add to the chaos, so they were resettled by the Chinese side in the morning.

Among them, women between the ages of eight and twenty were transported to the south to sell as soon as possible, and those with good appearance and noble status may be left in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in China to let the former people taste the taste of ravaging their masters, and the ordinary ones were directly pulled to Nanyang, where there are a large number of Han immigrants who lack spouses and cannot ask for wives, so they can naturally be sold at a good price. What, it's inhumane, don't talk nonsense, this is to strengthen national integration, it is a beautiful thing that has been recited through the ages, and there is no room for overturning the case at all.

As for the older ones under the age of 32 or 3, they became camp prostitutes, which allowed the officers and men of Xia who had been holding back for more than half a year to extinguish the fire, and by the way, they could also recover the little money that the officers and men of Xia had secretly hidden on the battlefield. As for those over thirty-three years old, I'm sorry, I can only stay on the construction site as if they were in the prime of life.

What, kid? Zheng Kezhang was not a madman, and he certainly would not follow the example of the Tartars in slaughtering those young children. Not only did he kill those girls under the age of eight and boys of the same age, he would have to keep them in captivity, and after a few years, they would either be charged into the Shence Army or sold again, at least they would not lose their capital.

After dividing five by two, the number of laborers on the construction site in Tianjin decreased a lot, but the provinces, prefectures, prefectures and counties of the northern liberation sent a large number of traitors one after another, and these people added up to more than 100,000 or 200,000, so there were always 300,000 or 400,000 slave laborers on the construction site in Tianjin. In order to guard these slave laborers, four divisions of Xia troops were directly stationed on the construction site, and there were four more divisions around Tianjin, and once the slave workers rebelled, they would not hesitate to suppress them.

Chang Jiying, who was transferred from the Ministry of Industry to the Tianjin prefect, reported to Zheng Kezang, who was inspecting Tianjin New Town. "In order to avoid the possibility of rebellion by the banner slaves, on the one hand, the ministers reduced their rations, and on the other hand, they also mixed them with those who were sentenced to hard labor for the crime of traitor, which may reduce the possibility of unrest."

Zheng Kezhang nodded: "Qing should sue those traitors, their crimes may have a forgiveness period, but if they join forces with the Tartars to fight against the chaos and kill them together, let them think about it themselves." ”

"I understand." Chang Jiying responded, and then complained. "It's just that no matter how the rations are cut, these hundreds of thousands of people will consume as much as 100,000 stone of food a month, and they still have to take care of the garrison, and the minister really can't afford to conjure up so much food."

What is 100,000 stone a month, the Northern Expeditionary Army has no way to maintain it without 200,000 stone of military rations and corresponding poultry, meat, oil, and vegetables a month, so Chang Jiying's trouble is actually Zheng Kezang's trouble.

"Qing doesn't have to complain, most of the grain transported from the south is landed in Tianjin, Qing's side is already the first priority, other troops, I don't know what to do?" Zheng Kezang's words are half-true, in fact, he has arranged for five divisions and nearly 150,000 people to return to their hometowns, and now the garrisons on the Northeast Road and near Tianjin rely directly on the sea, and Xuanda and Anyang, Shandong and other places rely on 6 on transshipment. "If you really can't do it, you will continue to cut the rations of the slave laborers, anyway, the Tartars driven out of these Youzhou Cities are more or less hiding a little bit of themselves, and they just try to squeeze them out."

Conquering Youzhou City, Zheng Kezhang is equivalent to opening a first-level treasure house, although the most essence is either burned with Kangxi's fire or let the Eight Banners nobles take to the northeast, but the number of those left is still amazing. According to the inventory of the division for more than a month, the gold found in the light city is worth more than 5 million guan, and the silver is as high as more than 30 million guan, as well as an astonishing number of bronzes, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all kinds of furniture, clothing and quilts, etc., and even the ruins of the Forbidden City have counted more than 100,000 pieces of melted gold and silver, more than 100,000 catties of bronze, and tens of thousands of complete porcelain.

Of course, the income is large and the expenses are also large, and the seven northern provinces that have recently taken over are actually a mess, among which the bereavement pension in Jinan and other places alone will cost millions of yuan, and the two main tasks of the government going to the countryside and land clearing also need the Huaxia Center to advance nearly 10 million yuan in the next few years, not to mention that the military operation has not yet ended, and the military expenditure cannot be stopped at all, so he turned his brain to the "small money" around the Xia officers and soldiers and the Manchurians.

Chang Jiying was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said: "The minister will arrange it, and use food and clothing as a means to squeeze out the hidden gold around the Manchurians, but this is also necessary to send personnel to cooperate with the planning department, and the ministers and ministers dare not be specialized." ”

Zheng Kezhang said with a smile: "Ji Si is too busy with the affairs of Youzhou now, I'm afraid that I don't have the spare energy to ask Tianjin here, so I can arrange for the branch of the government to take over, and then there will be accounts to report, needless to say, the facts ??????are closed."

As he was talking, the new Privy Council and Tong Maying came over to report: "Holy Lord, Lord Kuching has reported that he has broken through the Mongolian Department in Taifu Temple Banner, Zhenglan Banner and other places, and seized 10,000 cattle and sheep, 3,000 horses, and 3,000 Mongolian prisoners, but there are signs of snowfall in the grassland, and Lord Gu has to withdraw to Zhangbei ??????."

Zheng Kezang flicked the corner of his eyebrows, and then asked, "Is there any latest report on Chahar here in Daibei?" ”

"There are only reports of the capture of the front banner of the right wing of Chahar the day before yesterday." Ma Ying replied. "There is no further news."

Zheng Kezang sighed: "I'm afraid that it will snow over there, or now, you can put those Mongolian princes back, a winter is enough for them to think about it, whether to go or fall, and there will be a difference after spring, if you expect this dynasty to not use troops in spring and summer like the previous dynasty, then they will suffer." ”

The military horses of the Xia army are fed with hay with coarse grains, fine grains and some eggs, shrimp skin, and bone meal with high protein content, and they will not lose much fat in a winter, so after the spring escreture, they may still be dispatched.

Seeing Ma Ying and talking about the feed for war horses, Zheng Kezhang suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how is the fishery administration in Tianjin?" ”

"There is no fishery administration in Tianjin." Chang Jiying responded. "Before, our army's sailors were forbidden to the sea, and the Qing court did not dare to go into the water."

Zheng Kezhang laughed: "I didn't expect that now it is self-reaping, Ma Qing, you immediately send an order to the Northern Naval Division, so that he can catch more fish and crabs and transport them to the first line and Tianjin, fish is also meat, pickled fish is also fish, so that the taste can be improved for the troops, and selling it to those Manchurians who are not tired of eating can also make them pay more silver." ”

Ma Ying didn't know what Zheng Kezhang had talked about with Chang Jiying before, and he was a little ignorant about letting the Manchurians pay for the silver, but this did not prevent him from accepting Zheng Kezang's order: "Yes, the minister will give an order to the Northern Naval Division." ”

Zheng Kezhang drank Ma Ying, who was about to leave: "Ma Qing, the matter is not in a hurry, you can accompany me first." ”

When Chang Jiying heard this, he retreated into the distance with interest, and for a while, there was no second person around Zheng Kezhang and Ma Ying except for a few guards guarding from afar: "Ma Qing, do you feel a little aggrieved when you are demoted from the Admiral of the Second Rank Naval Master to be the Privy Council of the Third Grade?" Don't say that the thunder rain dew is Jun's cliché, I want to know what you really think. ”

Ma Ying was not mentally prepared at all, listening to Zheng Kezang's question, he couldn't help but stagnate, fortunately, he has also been a master in the field for many years, Yuan Fei was the hairy boy at the beginning, after being slightly stunned, he leaned over and said: "The minister also had some complaints at first, but after thinking about it later, I felt that I had misunderstood the meaning of the saint." ”

Zheng Kezang asked with a smile: "Then tell me, what does it mean for me to transfer you to the Privy Council?" ”

"Now the Privy Council is full of generals, and they are naturally loyal to the saints, but the Privy Council envoy Lord Feng, deputy envoy Yang Bokang, and Tang Baoyi are not from the water division, and Huang Chuxu and Lord Huang only know about inland river water wars, how can they win the ocean." Ma Ying reasoned. "Therefore, the minister is the seat of the Privy Council to command the sailor, which is clearly reused, how dare the minister be dissatisfied because of the level of official quality for a while."

"It's good to have this insight." Zheng Kezhang nodded. "The Privy Council is not only in charge of the 6th division, this dynasty will also advance the water 6, so you need to have a few knowledgeable people to enter, but compared to a few seniors, your qualifications are a little worse, you can only be wronged for a few years first, and when the time comes, you may be indispensable for the position of a deputy envoy."

Ma Ying replied without being surprised: "I have thanked the saint for his kindness, but I don't know what the saint's so-called water 6 parallel advance means?" ”

"Qing instructs all the sailors, and this matter should have been handed over to Qing." Zheng Kezhang stood with his hands behind his back. "Now that the overall situation in the country has been decided, all that remains is to restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, after all, the transportation on the 6th is too expensive, and it is not necessary to use large-scale troops, but the waterways are different, as long as there are a sufficient number of boats and ships, the ocean is not to go, so I wait for the war in the north to be slightly restricted, and then we must use troops in the South Seas, first drive out the Dutch, and then start with Luzonyi, but the former case is easy to do, and the latter case, you must master the route of Luzonyi, otherwise the gold and silver from the east will be cut off, and the domestic sales of goods will not be beneficial, so, The task of the sailor is to explore the waterway to the east to Fusang Da 6??????"
