The construction of the signal tower has enabled communication to reach an astonishing speed.

Although the official will or order was still passed through the post office, it did not affect Mao Wenlong's advance arrangement.

The generals in the conference hall have arrived on time, and after taking their seats, they will either talk or laugh, and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

The great enemy has been defeated, and it will take some time to plough the court and sweep the caves, but it is no longer able to resist the advance of the Ming army, and it is a matter of time before it is destroyed.

The combat power of the army is still improving, mainly because of the abundance of war horses, which makes more and more cavalry, more mobile, sharper weapons and equipment, and the generals are full of confidence.

Soldiers, only when there is a war can there be military merits, and only when promotion is fast; It is obvious that the majority of officers are willing to spend time on seniority.

What's more, the combat power of the army is there, and the remnants of Jiannu and the Mongol tribes are not very in the eyes of these officers.

Since we have the confidence to win battles, we will not be afraid of war. Even, the absence of a war will make people uncomfortable.

"That tiger, three or four hundred pounds, was killed with one shot." Yang Guozhu said in a fluttering vernacular, "If it weren't for the heat, I would have brought you to eat tiger meat." ”

At that time, Liaodong was full of barren mountains and old forests, and there were many tigers, which were not protected animals. There are many other wild boars, bears, roe deer, deer and other wild animals.

They are all from martial arts backgrounds, and hunting is naturally their favorite. Not only the generals, but also the soldiers, for the safety of the immigrant villages, were not polite to the wild beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests.

"It's just a pity that it's a good tiger skin." Yang Guozhu shook his head with a little regret, "The heavy musket is too fierce, and the tiger's head is broken." ”

Zhang Pan said with a smile: "If you use a light musket, the tiger may not die with one blow, and it is not easy to get a good tiger skin under the dying struggle." Unless a shot hits the eye and the sea of lead enters the brain and dies, it is considered a good tiger skin. ”

The general next to him agreed repeatedly, and asked Zhang Pan curiously if there were many beasts near the shipyard city, and whether hunting was enjoyable.

Zhang Pan smiled slightly and said, "There must be a lot of wild beasts, but I don't have time to hunt, and my subordinates have gained quite a lot." ”

"It's really busy and hard to build a village." Huang Long glanced at Zhang Pan very understandingly, and said, "There are not many people, all of them have to rely on the army. ”

Zhang Pan nodded at Huang Long, expressed his gratitude, and said: "Although the work of paving roads, logging, building houses, and cultivating land is tedious and busy, there are incentive policies, but the officers and soldiers do not feel the hardship. There are even officers and soldiers who plan to settle here in the future, farming, fishing and hunting. ”

The army can fight both wars and build and produce, which is the emperor's requirement. According to the emperor's habits and temperament, the work is not done in vain, and it is converted into the treatment after retirement, and it is even linked to military merits.

For example, reclamation, ten acres of reclamation and two acres of awards, which are issued together when retired, can also be given to relatives, which is a very realistic benefit, but it is not empty words.

For example, work such as paving roads and building houses is also subsidized in addition to military salaries. This is how the enthusiasm of the officers and men has been aroused.

Nala Zhongming interjected: "The west of the Great Black Mountain is mostly plains, which is indeed suitable for settlement. Although the climate is colder, rye and potatoes can still be cultivated and harvested. ”

From the perspective of later generations, Jilin Province is bounded by the central Daheishan Mountain, which can be divided into two major landforms: the eastern mountains and the central and western plains. If it is bounded by the Songliao watershed, the Songnen Plain to the north and the Liaohe Plain to the south.

Historically, Jilin Province was not an inland province, and at its largest, it stretched from the banks of the Ussuri River and Sakhalin Island in the east to the islands along the Yangtze River and in the sea, and from the Trans-Khingan Mountains in the north to the Sea of Japan and the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River.

Of course, now the Ming army has advanced to the shipyard city, also called Jilin, which is the earliest location of Jilin City in later generations.

In response to Nala's interjection, Zhang Pan nodded yes, without any discrimination or disdain. But some generals pouted imperceptibly, and their eyes showed disdain.

In the end, they are two peoples, although they have been naturalized by the Ming Dynasty, but in terms of acceptance, it still takes time to deepen.

In addition to Nala Zhongming, there were also three Jurchen officers here, all of whom made meritorious contributions in the later stage of the Pingliao War.

It's just that from the current hairstyle and clothing, there is no longer any difference between different nationalities. This is also the emperor's rigid requirement, and it is also the sincerity that the Jurchens who surrendered anyway must express.

The Jianzhou Wei no longer exists, and the Wei system has been completely abolished in Liaodong, and it is all the division of Fuzhou County.

Nala Zhongming was the supreme commander of the Jurchen army, while Leng Shengji and Han Chinese officials sent by the imperial court jointly managed the affairs of the Jurchens.

The 5,000 Naturalized Army, together with Zhang Pan's Division, formed the vanguard of the northward advance, and would also participate in the battle to exterminate the remnants of Jiannu.

Naturalized Mongol soldiers, which will become the troops fighting against Lin Dan Khan; The naturalized Jurchens are also the centaurs who fought against the remnants of Jiannu.

Don't worry about showing mercy to your fellow men, or even colluding in rebellion. As long as the Ming army remains strong, holding thick legs and standing on the side of the victor is the most reasonable decision.

"The imperial court has already ordered to rebuild the shipyard city and change its name to Jilin." Huang Long stroked his beard and said, "According to a certain point of view, immigration and reclamation are also inevitable. The officers and men have the intention of settling down, but they are quite discerning. ”

Zhang Pan groaned for a while, and was about to speak, when the soldiers at the door had already loudly announced that Mao Shuai had arrived.

The generals hurriedly stood up, bowed to Mao Wenlong, who entered the house, and said in unison: "The last general has seen Mao Shuai." ”

Mao Wenlong bowed slightly, walked to the main seat of the conference table, glanced at the generals, and then pressed down his hand and said, "Don't be polite, sit down and discuss the military!" ”

"Xie Maoshuai." The generals bowed in thanks.

After Mao Wenlong sat down, he waited for a while before he slowly spoke: "The imperial court has issued an edict that the Jilin region will be governed by a government and be under the jurisdiction of the governor of Liaodong. The permanent army quota is 3,000 ......"

All the generals were a little surprised, they didn't expect the imperial court to set up a government in Jilin so soon, and there were 3,000 permanent troops. It can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to the Jilin region.

It may not be entirely accurate to say that it is important, but it may be more appropriate to add urgency.

You must know that the Jilin Shipyard was originally only an operation station used to strengthen the connection between the Liaodong Metropolitan Division and the Nuergandu Division, and later it was abandoned and belonged to the Haixi Jurchens.

The establishment of a government now also means that Jilin is unlikely to be a front line or a frontier, but a new base for advancing northward.

Sure enough, Mao Wenlong continued: "The promotion goals for this year and next year have been completed, and the next step is to make every effort to reclaim and operate." Two years, three years later at the latest, the banner of Long Live Hope Daming fluttered in Shangjing (now Acheng District, Harbin......"

Shangjing, which used to be the capital of the Jin Kingdom, now doesn't even have an accurate name. Mao Wenlong called by his old name, which, combined with the instructions of the emperor, immediately made its significance unusual.
