The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 803
Zhang Fengyi not only persuaded Ma Xianglin not to act impulsively, but also knocked on Qin Liangyu's side, talking about the importance of doing what is within one's ability, emphasizing that within three years after getting involved in Chengdu, the strength of the white-armed soldiers would double.

At that time, the time is right for the Northern Expedition to Shaanxi, and it is completely possible to join the "Red Banner Army" to destroy the dead.

Gu Zhun finally freed up his hands to arrange for the evacuation of the hungry people. He took the opportunity to take in twenty thousand young and middle-aged men, and each issued a white wax spear to practice stabbing.

These are strong men with complete families and clan elders as guarantees. They say that their families and clansmen rely on the "Red Banner Army" to save them from starvation. It is an honor to help the "Red Banner Army" do things. You don't need money or food.

The "Red Banner Army" has its own standards for Anmin, and the basic living guarantee of six hundred renminbi and five buckets of miscellaneous grains for a month is definitely indispensable. Those who perform outstandingly will immediately double their income when they become corps leaders and small flag officers.

Working for the "Red Banner Army" can get three meals, and the money and food will be left to the family, which immediately makes life much easier for families with strong laborers who have become village heroes, which directly leads to more and more applicants.

There is no absolute bad thing. Chengdu has been in peace for a long time. It’s not that the rogues have harmed thousands of households. How can there be 10,000+ young and middle-aged people who will take the initiative to sign up and accept the selection to become the village brave?
In the spring of next year, take the lead in ensuring that the family that becomes Xiangyong has [-] acres of dry land or [-] acres of paddy fields to cultivate.

Sichuan has too many people and not enough acres of land. Many families have to be separated, and they will get dry land and paddy fields with property rights in the "Han River Province".

It is too tempting for the tiller to have his own land. When he learned that he had gone to the "Han River Province", the General Conqueror would allocate land to each household, which made too many impoverished Sichuan residents emigrate thousands of miles with their families.

It is an iron rule to ensure that the households get half of the net harvest. Last year, the general who conquered captives added a rule.

In a disaster year, when the harvest per mu of farmland is less than eight buckets of grain, the priority is to ensure that the households get four buckets of grain, even if the "Red Banner Army" needs to subsidize the land rent.

In the event of a catastrophe, it is not only necessary to reduce or exempt food collection, but also to distribute relief food.

Treating farmers so favorably, why worry that the people will not join the "Red Banner Army"?
Confiscating acres of unowned land, renting and planting Shilu fields of big landowners belonging to the king of Shu, and confiscating the private fields of civil servants and generals who fled without fighting are in progress. I believe that by next autumn, the Chengdu Plain will have a new scene.

Ma Xianglin, Qin Gongming and other white-armed generals deliberately split up their actions. They each led two or three thousand men and horses to clear the bandits and gather refugees in the southeast and west with Chengdu as the center.

If Qin Liangyu insisted on pursuing northward, it would take at least five days to gather troops again, and Gu Zhun led the "Red Banner Army" to clear the bandits and bandits in the direction of northern Sichuan, and the assembled white soldiers would still be blocked by Gu Zhun.

Ma Lanhua has committed the crime to prevent Qin Liangyu from leaving Sichuan to die, and Zhang Fengyi will notify Gu Zhun of her mother-in-law's every move in advance.

Within a month or two, Qin Liangyu's restrained white-armed soldiers and the Sichuan army might not be able to leave the boundaries of Chengdu Prefecture.

The Shaanxi battlefield has lost [-] white soldiers and [-] Sichuan troops. I believe it will not be long before Hong Chengchou's fate will be revealed under the attack of Jiannu and rogue bandits.

As early as the end of October, Huang Huiwu, the chief officer of the Shaanxi Military Intelligence Department of the Banner Guard, personally came to Sun Yingyuan's army and talked with him in detail for more than an hour.

A few days later, the Ming army who searched for the rogues in the South of Hanzhong received an order to go north to fight against the slaves. Sun Yingyuan asked for fire to lead the Beijing camp to garrison Tongguan, which was approved by Hong Chengchou.

No one can afford the responsibility for the loss of Tongguan, and it will deteriorate not only to the scourge of Shaanxi being enslaved, but also to Henan and even North Zhili.

With Sun Yingyuan leading [-] troops from the Beijing camp to stand firm, Hong Chengchou can trust him, and I believe the emperor can rest assured.

What's more, in the unlikely event that Hong Chengchou led the troops to have an accident and need to retreat, with Tongguan in Sun Yingyuan's hands, he can safely retreat to the east.

The headquarters of the Banner Guard's Shaanxi Military Intelligence Department also withdrew from Xi'an City, and the temporary headquarters was set up in Tongguan, a battleground for military strategists.

Sun Yingyuan has always had a good relationship with the "Red Banner Army". After receiving Huang Huiwu's advice to station at Tongguan, he put his heart in his stomach.

The soldiers in Shaanxi were in danger of fighting, and Sun Yingyuan knew well the importance of the troops in the capital camp in the emperor's heart, so he always took the passive approach of not seeking merit but seeking no faults to spend his days in Shaanxi.

Now retreating to Tongguan, at least he will not be trapped in Shaanxi by bandits and slaves. Sun Yingyuan is very confident that it is no problem to defend Tongguan with the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp.

Tongguan is more than [-] miles away from Xi'an, and the city is built on the hillside with a perimeter of more than [-] miles, including Qilin Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, Xiangshan Mountain, Yintai Mountain, Bijia Mountain, etc. in the city.

In addition to Sun Yingyuan's [-] troops from the capital camp, there were more than [-] troops in the original garrison.

After the "Red Flag Army" was evacuated from Shaanxi, they retained the "Red Flag Grain Bank", Sifang Bank and other industries in Tongguan. Many of the withdrawn staff did not re-employ, but came to Tongguan to strengthen their forces.

The "Red Banner Army" system in Tongguan City has as many as 3000 staff members, and half of them have combat effectiveness. Now they have taken in many young and middle-aged people from Shaanxi to form a regiment of [-] people.

There is no need to worry about these Qin people's rebellion and thieves. First of all, they are all sons of good families. Not only their family members immigrated to "Hanjiang Province", some even went to the whole clan.

Sun Yingyuan not only did not restrict the development of the "Red Banner Army", but also deliberately opened the door for convenience. He even recommended Huang Huiwu as the chief training officer of the Shanxi regiment.

The "Red Banner Army" has gained a reputation, and there have been dozens of retired military officers in the system who have been recommended by local officials to become regimental generals.

The imperial court knew that it seemed inappropriate to reuse military attaches who had served the General Zhenglu, but the performance of these people was too eye-catching.

In order to keep one side safe, the local officials not only did not guard against the infiltration of the "Red Banner Army", but also deliberately got involved, because they knew that the territory that the "Red Banner Army" had touched could be preserved in all likelihood.

The trend of the times, the cabinet, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and other high-profile officials shouted out the use of talents in an eclectic manner, and Emperor Chongzhen could only smash his teeth and swallow his blood.

Huang Huiwu originally had the factual award of the fourth-rank Funing Guard, and it was reasonable and reasonable to be appointed by the imperial court as a temporary commander-in-chief of regiment training, and the appointment came down within a few days.

There were no great generals in the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and it was not until after the country was subjugated that the Nanming, which continued to grow like a dog, showed a lot of fluff, let alone great generals, and even a lot of heterosexual vassal kings.

The current commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty is respected by the eight generals, and then the commander-in-chief of a certain place, such as the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, the commander-in-chief of Datong, and the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, etc.

Next is the temporary commander-in-chief, such as the commander-in-chief to aid Liao, the commander-in-chief to aid and suppress, etc., and the last commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief of regiment training.
