Chapter 198

It doesn't matter whether Huang Taiji is convinced or not, it can only be said that there will be no war in the short term, and Wang Yan will not beat him.After all, he swallowed Liaodong all at once, and he was somewhat overwhelmed. For a while, he didn't have the time to talk to that bastard Huang Taiji, just to give him a chance to breathe.Constantly expanding to the north and expanding the territory is what Wang Yan must do.

A large number of population resources, a vast land area, and industrial technology beyond the age are the three elements for an invincible position and rapid development with great strides.

In the past few months, Wang Yan has preliminarily straightened out the situation in Liaodong, not to mention completely controlling those generals with different ideas, but it is easy to speak and specify.At the same time, there was an overall large-scale military training to weed out the old and the weak. After many people were eliminated, only less than 7 reserve soldiers were left as military households for farming.Counting his original soldiers and reserve military households, there are less than [-] people.

The combat effectiveness of the army does not increase progressively with the increase in number. It is basically impossible for all 7 soldiers to reach the level of the 4 soldiers.After all, among his [-] soldiers, the first [-] can easily defeat the last [-].The later [-] people were even more stretched, and they couldn't even handle the most trashy military households under him.

The key is that the resources in his hands are not enough to supply the consumption of 20 soldiers. According to his standards, the consumption of [-] soldiers is enough for him to feed the other [-] people in this territory.

After these few months, many military households have successfully upgraded and reached the level of soldiers.However, in order to maintain order in the territory, Wang Yan mobilized a small number of veterans with outstanding military achievements and some mid-range veterans, a total of 3000 people served as police officers to maintain stability.

This group of people wore jet-black light armor specially made by Wang Yan, carrying repeating crossbow arrows, arrow ammunition, and an armed belt around their waists. On the side is a standard flintlock musket half a meter long.

On weekdays, go out to patrol, deal with disputes and so on, and the prestige is tight.It can be regarded as Wang Yan's reward to these veterans, they will basically have no chance to go to the battlefield in the future.

The same is true, the actual number of soldiers in his hands is still maintained at about [-], and there is no major change.

As for the counterattack of some officers and soldiers caused by his dismissal of soldiers, that's the way it is.The reason why he speaks so well now is because of those unlucky ones.

In terms of population, because I understood it with Sun Chengzong before, and this year's severe drought in Shaanxi, refugees are everywhere, so they brought in about 6 people.In addition to the more than 4 sent by Wang Zhichen before, more than 40 people left and entered Liaodong at once.The subordinates have swiped [-].No matter how many there are, he will die. I really can't afford it.

Although his business is doing well, after such a long time, so many products have been developed, although the profits are considerable.But his output is so big, and the market in Daming and its surrounding areas is also so big, so he has a head.And his daily expenses are even more astronomical.

Now the whole of Liaodong is a big construction site, and countless big projects are under construction.

A Shanhaiguan-Ningyuan-Jinzhou, eight horse-drawn carriages until Guangningwei parallel, according to modern terms is a two-way eight-lane cement hard road main road is being built.In addition to the scattered villages, roads are also being built simultaneously in other small towns, small towns and other densely populated places.He really can't do it from village to village, so he can only do it when it's urgent, and it's better to do it slowly in the future.

The residence of the newly added 10 people is also a top priority. After all, this is Liaodong, where people are freezing to death, and there is no place to do it.Because there were still many empty villages before, we directly repaired and resettled them, which solved the problems of many people.Others chose locations from Shanhaiguan to Guangningwei and Panshan to build new villages.

Thanks to the cement and the brick kiln built before, the construction progress has been greatly accelerated.The village built later is full of brick houses and glass windows.Don't worry about widows and unevenness, there is no way for this thing.

Wang Yan is the emperor of Liaodong. To be honest, these people are all his private property.So the house and the like were all provided by Wang Yan for free.The eyes of those who lived in the original houses built with earth and big stones were hot. Everyone is a refugee, so why should they live better than them?There was serious noise for a while.However, this voice disappeared after hundreds of people were demoted to hard labor.

In addition, there are large tracts of land that have been reclaimed.This year, I planted a crop of land in the spring, and the harvest is not bad.But compared with the population of 40 in Liaodong, it is far from enough.Most of the food costs money, and it depends on the merchants of Ming Dynasty to transport it.But this year when there was a famine in Ming Dynasty, this group of people made a fortune and made a fortune, so they were not very willing to talk to Wang Yan.It's still a high price, so some people are willing to go to luck.

The cattle and sheep in Mongolia are also driven by in groups.A year later, Wang Yan's good reputation, good reputation, and good price have spread to the depths of the grassland.So many people came to sell cattle, sheep, fur, etc., and neighboring tribes went to the market in Guangningwei to buy things from time to time.

With the addition of these cattle and sheep, as well as the surrounding pork collected by Wang Yan, including the purchased grain, it is no problem to survive this winter.And because the later people did not catch up with the spring plowing, in addition to the above projects, large tracts of land were reclaimed.In addition to the water conservancy facilities created by Wang Yan, there will be no problem next year, not to mention a bumper harvest.

And the sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and rice from the south that he had sent to find before were also brought in. This year's breeding can be promoted in a small part next year, and it can be planted on a large scale the year after.

The other one is the shipbuilding matter that Wang Yan has been thinking about. After such a long time, the master shipbuilders who were kidnapped and brought in with money have worked together to produce a sea-going ship that can sail offshore. Now there are three ships parked at the pier by the seaside of Jinzhou. It is Wang Yan's achievement for more than a year.

This offshore voyage, that is, wandering in Liaodong Bay for a while, even a small Japan can't get through.Although you can't go to Little Japan to dig money, it will be enough in the short term.He plans to march into Jinzhouwei next year, which is now Luda, which is occupied by Huang Taiji.After building a port there, compress Huang Taiji's territory to the north, so as to hit North Korea by the way.It doesn't make sense to offer sacrifices to Huang Taiji instead of someone like Wang.

And this winter, apart from driving back the peripheral forces of Huang Taiji, Wang Yan did not carry out large-scale killings, but also gave Huang Taiji time to relax, and focused on managing Mongolia.

The battle of the previous half month made Huang Taiji realize the reality, and retreated across the border with Mongolia, just to avoid fearless battles, and now his strength is no big deal.In this way, Mongolia would be idle, so Wang Yan certainly wouldn't sit idly by.

The interior of Mongolia has never been harmonious. For cattle, sheep and horses, for women and children, the annexation war on the prairie has never stopped.Wang Yan had already controlled some tribes, so he naturally coveted other tribes on the vast grassland.

The Mongols had nothing to do in winter, so Wang Yan helped to find them, and he ordered the subordinate Mongolian tribes to start annexing westward.Wang Yan didn't look at it anymore, consuming the soldiers of the Mongols.Instead, the soldiers are sent into battle in rotation, and the right is to train soldiers to maintain combat effectiveness.

The leader of the tribe who surrendered dared not speak out, mainly because of Wang Yan's powerful force, and if he refused to accept it, he would be killed.On the one hand, the leader and some managers are nobles, and the herdsmen, cattle and sheep under him are all private property, and their lives are not very good.Now that Wang Yan's arrival has allowed these people to see another possibility in life, the authority of the leader is weakening, and he is already a bit disobedient.

Some of the cattle, sheep, horses, women and children stolen from the annexation were given to those tribes as war profits, and some were brought back to Liaodong to promote national integration.

For this reason, Wang Yan promulgated some laws and regulations to protect the rights and interests of these foreign women and children, and he had no choice but to do so.

The later refugees were better off. After all, they were all dying before, and now they have a hard-won stable life.

But those military households and their families who followed Wang Yan before were different, they were really not used to it.They followed Wang Yan to make a fortune, most of them were factory workers, and each of them lived a prosperous life.And in the past two years, except for being surrounded by Huang Taiji once and losing a small part of the elite troops, he has never lost a battle.

The self-confidence and sense of honor are unparalleled, but they look down on the later refugees, let alone foreign barbarians.Because Wang Yan had established rules for a long time, he didn't dare to oppress and bully them openly, but cliques and ostracism happened from time to time.

Wang Yan was so angry with this cheap disease, after only two years of good life, did he feel like this?This kind of ethos must not be allowed to skyrocket, as it is not conducive to national integration and unity.So Wang Yan directly arrested a group of people and demoted them to hard labor, and they were forced to work for three years before they eased up.

Prohibition is impossible, it can only be given to time.For young children of foreign races, regardless of gender, Wang Yan treats them equally, and they must go to the school to study. At the same time, the old master will continue to emphasize the concept of national unity.So it would be nice to wait until the first-generation elders are dead, and wait for the little ones to grow up.

Wang Yan doesn't have foreign children who have grown up and have their own ideas, and he doesn't want them.They were a group of children who witnessed the atrocities committed by Wang Yan's soldiers and were deeply engraved in their memory.Although there are outstanding heroes, Wang Yan is not afraid, he can be destroyed with one hand.But if you can save some troubles, save some, and stop the wave at the source of what you are trying to do.

Just like that, the first year of Chongzhen passed, and the time came to the second year of Chongzhen.

January [-], Jinzhou City, General Mansion.

As the woman screamed in pain, a burst of loud voices sounded.

"Ma'am, use your strength... Hey... Yes, yes... That's it... Hurry up, hurry up, work harder."

In the outer room, Wang Yan sipped his tea patiently.Looking at the sisters of the Zhou family who were hugging their stomachs, their faces pale with fright, and Wei Ting, who was pretending to be calm, he shook his head helplessly: "I told you that I won't let you come, but you have to come, you're afraid..."

The woman called inside is naturally Ding Baiying. Although Wang Yan is not a professional, he still has knowledge of gynecology and pediatrics. After all, children are not old or young.Ding Baiying's situation was entirely her own doing. She said that for the sake of the child's health, she ate a lot and drank a lot all day long. The child's development is so good that it is strange to give birth without effort.

The sisters of the Zhou family were pestering Wang Yan, they had to have a baby if they wanted to die, and they were conceived only a month later, and the two girls should have a baby next month.

Wei Yan is already 22, and Wang Yan went straight to her soul, and she will be there in two months.One thing to say here, when Wei Zhongxian heard that Wei Ting was pregnant, he couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.Wang Yan reckoned that if he gave birth to a boy, Wei Zhongxian should give him the money.This Wei Zhongxian obviously didn't hold back his fart, because this old bastard has been active more and more recently. Wang Yan guessed that he wanted to live a few more years and help Wei Ting's children get up...

As for his youngest concubine, Zhang Yan wasn't pregnant, but she had to make arrangements for it this year, and she was helping deliver the baby with Mrs. Wen right now.

Seeing that no one answered, Wang Yan muttered: "She just ate too much food, too much nutrition, and the baby in her stomach is too big, so it's not easy to give birth. You three eat normally, don't be afraid. "

Zhou Miaotong, who was always sentimental and looked like she was about to die, wiped away her tears, walked up to Wang Yan and sat down next to Wang Yan: "Master, I heard that many women can't make it through giving birth. Two corpses..."

Wang Yan looked at Zhou Miaotong dumbfounded, then looked at the two women who had obviously listened to what he was saying, and talked about Zhou Miaotong angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many doctors in the medical clinic. Famous doctor, what’s the problem? When the three of you give birth, I’ll transfer all those old men over and wait outside.”

"It's not good to call all of them... seven or eight would be fine..." Zhou Miaotong thought about it seriously, and then couldn't help crying: "If I really don't make it through, I must keep the child when the time comes." ...Master~~~"

It's normal for a pregnant woman to not be able to stop thinking about it. Hearing this, the two women on one side couldn't help being moved.Wang Yan said loudly: "Okay, even if there is a real danger, I will protect you. The child will be born again in the future."

"Master~"

These words are really powerful at this moment. After all, few people take women seriously nowadays. If they can protect their children, they will definitely not care about adults.

Zhou Miaoxuan wiped away his tears and said: "These two years have been the happiest days for me. I am very content if I can leave a child for the master..."

Wei Ting didn't say a word, but he obviously had the same thoughts.

Wang Yan was really troubled by these three women, and they were all pregnant women, so they couldn't care about anything, they could only be coaxed with good words, that's uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this situation didn't last long, and with a loud cry from the baby inside, everything was over.

The three women stopped for a moment and stared at the door intently.

After a while, Mrs. Wen came out holding the child: "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, my lady gave birth to a little son. He was born with a weight of nine pounds and six taels. To tell you the truth, with my old lady's experience in delivering babies for so many years, you are absolutely a blessed one."

This is basically nonsense, Wang Yan's big brother in Liaodong, how can the child be worse?
"Go and receive the reward from the maid in charge." Wang Yan took the child, looked at the wrinkled little face, laughed and dismissed Wen Po casually, and then looked at Zhang Yan who came out from behind: "Is she okay?"

"Sister Ding is fine, but she is a little tired and has already fallen asleep."

"It's fine."

Wang Yan hugged the baby and looked at it for a while, then handed it to Zhang Yan to hold, let the three women on one side fiddle with it for a long time, and then sent it back to Ding Baiying.

His children are not too many, but not too many.The energy of being a father has long been exhausted, and the only joy is watching the tender little one mischievous.

After seeing the child, his own father has to study the matter of naming.In fact, he should have studied it before, but he has too many things to do, and now he is free.Unlike in some urban backgrounds, where everyone under his command is bullish, most of them here are big and rough, and they need to be adjusted slowly.It's just that civil servants are limited by their knowledge, and most of these people are not good people, so many things need him to ask in person.

Naming is different in ancient times and his real world. After all, the time and space he lives in is basically not named by those who have no seniority.Including himself and his father, the names are not based on family seniority.Seriously, his grandfather's generation was 'He', his father's was 'Qing', and his current generation was 'Wen'.He didn't know about the grandpa's generation. Basically, in his generation, their old Wang's family was finished.

Now that he is in the Ming Dynasty, the name must follow the rules.After all, here, his old Wang's family can be regarded as flourishing, just look at the hundreds of thousands of clan members in the old Zhu's family.

After much deliberation, Wang Yan finally decided to follow Lao Zhu's example and directly "gold, wood, water, fire, earth". His first son started with "gold".

It's not a question of the ranking of the five elements, but that he is doomed to either fight or prepare for a fight in his life, and it is appropriate for the gold master to start with gold.

On the night when Wang Yan's eldest son was born, Wang Yan named him Junren.In the future, when there is a second child, a third child, etc., they will be placed in the back row according to "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, gentleness, respectfulness, loyalty, filial piety, honesty, courage and strictness". Fifteen is enough.

If there is a girl, according to the rules at the moment, they will not be arranged according to the seniority of the men.But Wang Yan thought it over, he didn't care about that, it was all five elements.It's just changed to 'Jin' or something, anyway, there are so many next to the gold characters, the last character of the name does not take up the fifteen characters above, it should be more gentle and feminine.

The next day, General Wang was delighted to have a son, and he had a successor. He was so happy that he held a banquet and invited Liaodong civil and military officials to come and drink, and received a lot of gifts.

The civil servants are all okay, just superficially obedient, but a bunch of military officers are not good enough.In fact, when they knew that the woman in Wang Yan's back house was pregnant, they would fucking work overtime with their regular wife in order to have a daughter to marry Wang Yan's child, or a son to marry Wang Yan's daughter.Why not have a baby with a concubine, it's very simple, just two words, unworthy.

After inviting guests and receiving gifts, Wang Yan is no big deal.Liaodong is basically on the right track. He just needs to grasp the direction and supervise those people who do things and work.In addition to being a master in the back house, he is doing research with a group of craftsmen on a daily basis, and learning Chinese medicine from time to time with a group of doctors and doctors, and researching those secret medicine formulas.

Speaking of secret medicine formulas, Chinese medicine has indeed broken its inheritance.As far as the barefoot doctors he has recruited, the town doctors, and some well-known doctors who have been kidnapped or hired, in just two years, his achievements in the previous seven or eighty years are even better.Moreover, Ding Baiying, as well as some of his subordinate generals, had obtained those prescriptions.It's not good to wait for him to leave, it will take nearly a hundred years to say that something will really happen...

It is also for this reason that Wang Yan began to focus on Chinese medicine in this world. After all, the conditions are so good, it is really a pity for this opportunity not to learn.And after he learned it well, he returned to the real world to give his parents two medicines for recuperation.In any case, I have done hard work for most of my life. The reason why there is no serious illness is just that there is no outbreak. The focus of the disease is there.

Although he was very open about life and death, he never wanted it to be his turn.Although parents don't communicate often, they are his biggest spiritual sustenance in the real world.As for Wei Lan, to be honest, Wang Yan didn't care.Again, he is just very good at pretending.

As long as there is no war, there is nothing to see in Liaodong.No matter how great the changes are, it is just like going to a well-off rural area later.The only thing worth seeing is the blood-cast ancient city, but it's like this every day, and I don't feel any difference.

The days went by day by day, and Liaodong was advancing steadily and developing rapidly according to the established plan.

In February, the sisters of the Zhou family gave birth one after another. Miaotong gave birth to a boy with a happy smile, and Miaoxuan gave birth to a girl with a pouty old man.The second boy was named Junyi according to what was decided before.The big girl, Wang Yan, chose a name that she thought was pleasant, Jin Yun.

In March, Wei Ting gave birth. She was more powerful and gave birth to twins.The third boy who was born first was named Junli.The second girl, who was born later, was named Jinxiu.

Wei Ting gave birth to two children, and others did nothing, Wei Zhongxian was so happy.He is still an eunuch, so there is no big difference between men and women, and he can't even say that when Zhu Youxiao was doing business before, he helped push his waist from behind...

From time to time, he would come directly to Wang Yan's back house to see his grandson, and would not let go of him.Although this old bastard has done all kinds of bad things, Wang Yan still wants to ask for money from others, so he just confessed that there is no need to notify and just go in and it's over.

In April, Wang Yan received a lot of presents.

In May, the second kid has a hundred days......

In June, San Xiaozi Baitian, besides accepting gifts, Wei Zhongxian, that bastard finally gave him money.

All the money was scattered and hidden by Wei Zhongxian in many houses secretly purchased in the name of others in the capital, and buried deep in the ground.According to Wei Zhongxian, there are antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade jewelry, gold ingots and silver ingots, and silver notes, etc. The exact number is unknown, but it is no problem to draw 300 million taels.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Daming received more than 300 million taels of silver, which was equivalent to the amount of corruption by Wei Zhongxian.Then think about those other corrupt people, traitors, merchants from the south of the Yangtze River... Wang Yan wants to enter the customs...

Knowing the exact address, Wang Yan sent the secret guards to move the money...

After two months of ants moving, in mid-August, all of Wei Zhongxian's property was transported to Jinzhou City.Looking at the money piled up in the backyard of the government office, Wang Yan waved his hand and spent.

I found a businessman who sold a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings, and exchanged them for supplies, and purchased a lot with silver.There is no loss to Wang Yan. Of these businessmen who cooperated with him, he remembers every one of them clearly. All the money these people make by selling their country is his...
