I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 256 Chapter 250

Because Governor Xuanda has been accepting and resettling refugees, the situation in Xuanfu and Datong is still under control.

In Shanxi, only the county government close to Shaanxi was affected, and there was no tragedy like the rogue bandits attacking the city and looting land in Shaanxi.

The rogues did not kill, there was no military disaster, and the autumn harvest was basically not affected. This year, the grain harvested in Xuanda area is enough for self-sufficiency.

However, due to the large-scale purchases by grain merchants, the price of grain is still high.

Originally, after the autumn harvest, the price of a stone of wheat would fall below one tael, but this year it couldn't be done, and it was still fluctuating around one tael, two or three taels.

This Xuanda governor has a good reputation among the people. In the eyes of the emperor, the cabinet, and the eunuch Bingbi, Geng Ruqi is a capable minister.

Of course, the great eunuch Wang Kun knows how to read words and actions, and is good at making decisions according to the wind.

After he came to the Xuan Mansion, he never took a big deal in front of Geng Ruqi, and it was considered safe and sound.

You respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot.

Now that Geng Ruqi has a lot of money in his hands, of course he will not treat the internal officials slowly.

A few days later, the great eunuch Wang Kun received a gift from Governor Xuan Da, but it was a pity that it was not gold and silver treasures, but just a large-looking carriage.

Eunuchs are greedy for money, and the eunuchs who are released must be greedy for money. If they are not greedy, they will not be able to live.

Because the eunuch group also pays attention to someone in the court who is good at being an official, such as the chief eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies, the eunuch with the palm seal of the 24th eunuch, etc., and the eunuchs who are released must be respected.

What kind of contribution do you get if you don't take bribes, extortion and extortion?
The eunuchs were afraid that they would be accused of crimes. They were not civil servants or military generals, they were all the emperor's domestic slaves. If the emperor was unhappy, dragging them down to death with a stick was no different from beating a dog to death.

Originally, Wang Kun was full of displeasure because he didn't see the gold and silver treasures brought by Governor Xuanda, but after sitting in the big car, he became happy.

Then he started daydreaming.

The eunuch has seen a lot of gold and silver treasures, but who has enjoyed such a comfortable and comfortable car?
If he gets a few cars and sends them to the capital to honor Mrs. Cao, Eunuch Wang, Eunuch Tang, Eunuch Zhang, and other powerful eunuchs, he may not be promoted to eunuch Bingbi.

The soldiers outside the Great Wall were in danger of fighting, so of course Huang Yi had to prepare for war and famine. Food could not be left outside the city, it had to be stored in a warehouse.

After the autumn harvest, there is basically no work in the fields. At this time, the laborers of the collective farm must go to the city to work and live under the leadership of the town governor, and return before the start of spring plowing.

The biggest reason why the Tartars and Jiannu fought was to rob food and daily necessities.

They basically sent troops after autumn.

Every individual in the base area has a corresponding collective, and the organizational structure is as handy as fingers. All Han people have household registration, and every family has a household registration book.

After autumn, people can get jobs when they enter the city, and they can get rations at public grain stores with their household registration books.

The unified purchase and sale of grain is the management model of the base area, and the grain harvested by collective farms must be put into storage.

Because the real home of collective farm workers is in the city, the farm does not have cement and concrete silos, and even the houses are simple shacks, which cannot survive the winter at all.

One-third of the collective farm's harvest is handed over, and the next thing is of course to keep enough rations and sell the surplus to the public grain stores in the base area.

Retaining sufficient food rations does not mean that each household stores enough food for a year, but records the amount in the household registration book, and the food has already been put into storage.

Farmers can go to the public grain store to pick up grain twice a month with their household registration booklets.

Collective farms store wheat, sorghum, buckwheat, etc., and take home processed grains such as barley flats, sorghum rice, white noodles, buckwheat noodles, and yellow millet.

Of course, the exchange ratio is calculated. It is necessary to ensure that grain stores and grain depots have small profits, and farmers must not feel that they have suffered a loss.

Flour mills and rice mills produce white noodles, yellow millet, buckwheat noodles, etc. on a large scale, which has obvious cost advantages compared with rolling mills one by one.

All in all, the base area can only adopt the model of military management, and all soldiers and civilians must be vigilant, so that the invading enemy cannot grab food or catch people.

The history remains the same, and the Hou Jin army indeed dispatched troops from the puppet capital Shengjing on August [-], and arrived at the Baitu Factory in the north of Guangning five days later.

The Mongolian tribes headed by the Horqin tribe all assembled their own troops and horses to help in the battle, sending a total of more than [-] troops.

Zu Dashou is not an idiot, on the contrary, this person is not only brave but also quite scheming.

A month ago, when my brother-in-law Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, personally escorted [-] shi of grain to Dalinghe City, he asserted that the Houjin side could not tolerate the fertile land between the big and small Linghe rivers being occupied by our army, and would attack Dalinghe. city.

Zu Dashou knew that Wu Xiang was not good at fighting, and he was good at other things, so he was very happy to see him so actively sending food and carbon.

So I personally led the Guan Ning Army to supervise and drive the Banjun and the civilian husbands to rush to work day and night, and was willing to spend money during the construction of the city, at least so that the Banjun and the civilian husbands could have enough food.

Zu Dashou sent his brother Zu Dale, his eldest son Zu Zerun, his adopted son Zu Kefa, his family son Zu Kuan and other trusted generals to lead the iron-armored family members to explore a radius of [-] miles to the east of Dalinghe City.

Therefore, when the sentry horse of the Hou Jin Army appeared near Yizhou and Shisanshan Station, it fought several scouting battles with the ancestral Tiejia Jiading.

Judging from experience, the large troops of the Jin Army will come in a few days.

In order to reduce the consumption of food and firewood, Zu Dashou only left [-] squadrons to assist in the defense, and withdrew [-] civilians.

Because Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang attached great importance to it, it was completely different from the historical Dalinghe City which was only a semi-finished product when it was surrounded by the Houjin Army.

Today's Dalinghe city wall is three feet three feet high, most of the battlements have been repaired, and the five thousand troops are still hurrying to complete the rest.

There are [-] soldiers and horses in the city, and no less than [-] cavalry.

Since the city has just been repaired, there are no villagers, only [-] troops from the guard.

Although the Weisuo army at the end of the Ming Dynasty was unusable for a long time, compared with the civilian husbands, the squad army still had some combat effectiveness. At least these people could understand the horns and drums and the military regulations.

The current Daling River City has high walls and thick walls, and there is no shortage of water sources. Grain, grass, and coal can last for half a year.

And as early as two months ago, Wu Xiang said that it was broken, and the Jin army would definitely come to encircle it.

Therefore, when the Jin army really came to kill, Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Zu Dale, Zhang Cunren and other generals of the Guanning army did not panic.

All of them were nervous, because all of them were surrounded by the Hou Jin army.

Then the Jin army fought fiercely in the field, and the siege battle was completely rookie. The previous capture of the city of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty basically used the method of using spies to create chaos to capture the city.

Later, the Jin army found that the target city was resolutely guarded, and basically refused to resort to storming methods. The method of siege was used before, and so far there is no record of besieging a city in Liaodong for more than two months.
