I'm a big dick

Chapter 365 Untitled
Relocating the Liao people to the west and south of Liaoning can not only produce locally, but also reduce the pressure of the garrison on logistics and transportation, and also demonstrate the confidence of the emperor and the court in Ping-Liao.

Before all the people in the war zone were relocated, the emperor, under the banner of loving and caring for the people, could not bear the torment of the people of Ming Dynasty by the flames of war.

Now that the rescued Liao people are properly resettled, it clearly shows that Jiannu can no longer be defeated, and the Ming army has the confidence to keep the enemy out of the recovery area and to protect the people in the recovery area.

But not all recovery areas resettled ordinary people.The Guangning area is under military control, and some areas in southern Liaoning, as well as the surrounding areas of Zhenjiang Fort, are mainly places that are not yet stable.

Even so, places such as Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Tieshan, and Yizhou are more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of Liao people.

These tens of thousands of Liao people were mainly rescued from Fuzhou and Gaizhou. In history, after Liu Xingzuo failed anyway, most of them were slaughtered by Jiannu.

The incitement and instigation of the Dongjiang army has also been going on. From time to time, Liao people risked their lives to escape from the slave-ruled area.

Others regard these penniless people as a burden, but the imperial court does its best to accept and relieve them.The sea transportation continued continuously, and the food and materials transported by water were also transferred to Dengzhou and Tianjin, and then transported across the sea.

The investment is huge. Even though the court's finances have improved a lot, the emperor is still pressing ahead, but the overall situation is still relatively tense.

Of course, this is the case without the use of royal funds.It's not that the emperor doesn't have private money, but that Zhu Youxiao doesn't want the household department to develop that bad habit unless it is absolutely necessary.

Such a big empire, the number one in the world is not boasting, but it can't afford a partial counter-insurgency war?Well, even two or three games, it is impossible to bring down the Ming Empire!

This is a normal idea. Although it is not easy to realize it, Zhu Youxiao knows that relying on internal funds to subsidize it is by no means a long-term solution.

Ping Liao, Ping She'an chaos, of course, consumes a lot.

But at the peak of the Little Ice Age, most of the country would suffer from frequent disasters, and millions of people would fall into famine, and the need for food and supplies would probably be even greater.If you don't straighten out the court's finances, how can you survive the famine?

Regardless of how the emperor raises supplies and collects money from various sources, the lives of ordinary people still have to live, and it is much simpler.

The Liao people who had just been resettled, and even those who were on their way to the resettlement place, were obviously restless or exhausted.

However, the Liao people who have settled down in stable areas such as the coastal islands of Liaodong and southern Liaoning are already at ease, and their days are getting better and better.

The peace of mind is because the Ming army has become stronger and stronger, and has forced Jiannu back to the inland, which is basically not a threat.

For example, at Luda, because the Ming army pushed the line of defense north to Fuzhou, it seemed to be the rear.Although Jiannu has not been destroyed, but like the people far away in the capital, they all feel far away from the chaos of war.

In the blue sky, there are a few white clouds like cotton balls fluttering lazily.The river water gently swayed with microwaves, and the emerald green water color added the color of the floating clouds reflected in the water. .

Yingzi followed the cart pushed by his father and stepped onto the wooden bridge, which brought him closer to home.

Yingzi's father had a smile on his face, and made some money this trip. He was thinking about how much he could add to the dowry he prepared for his daughter.

Although he is a farmer who digs food in the soil, he is still a bit clever.

Knowing that the army stationed needs a lot of vegetables, and that the army does not buy or sell the common people by force, he planted most of the land allocated to vegetables, and only a small part of the land was planted with the sweet potatoes required by the government.

Vegetables grow fast, as long as they are watered frequently, weeded frequently, and some farmyard manure is added, the time is shorter than that of food crops, and the results are faster.

Of course, Yingzi's father's decision also took risks.Farmers at that time were not allowed to grow enough food for their own families, and the rest of the land would be considered for other crops.

If you don’t grow food and just buy it, it’s not safe after all.The rise in food prices is still secondary. What if the food is cut off for some unexpected reason?
Just say that in the current Luda area, food is rationed.The army naturally gives priority to supply, and the common people can only get a limited amount according to the number of people in the family.

After the autumn harvest, the farmers who have been allocated land will even have to abolish the rationing system.Unless there is a catastrophe, you can count on the relief of the court.

"Don't you have sweet potatoes?" Yingzi's father explained with a smile to his daughter's doubts again: "I heard that the yield of that thing is very high, enough for the two of us to eat."

Yingzi rolled his eyes and said, "Just eat sweet potatoes? No more porridge, no steamed buns, no dumplings for Chinese New Year?"

Yingzi's father smiled and said, "I don't believe it. If you have money, you can't buy food? The shops don't sell it. Let's buy from farmers and from neighbors."

Blinking and blinking, Yingzi really felt that his father had a good idea.

For the resettlement of Liao people, there is no tax for three years. Farmers who grow food do not have to pay taxes, and the harvest is all their own.In the past, you may have to live on a budget, but now, you should have some surplus food in your hands, right?

Yingzi changed the topic, anyway, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to complain.

"I heard that Murakami resettled several new families. Do you think it's reliable?"

Yingzi's father blinked his eyes and said, "What is reliable or not? If you want to talk about being poor, it's the same as when we just arrived on the island to settle down."

"Who said the rich are poor?" Yingzi walked quickly, pulled the rope on the cart and put it on his shoulders, saving his father some strength, and said, "People are so hard-hearted, they can't be Jiannu's spies, right?"

"That can't be done." Yingzi's father shook his head vigorously, and said, "They are all honest farmers. They are newcomers, and they are very polite to the villagers."

Yingzi was a little helpless, knowing that her father didn't know the inside story at all, and she also heard Zhang Zhuzi talk about it, and then she knew that the placement of the common people also had something to say.

For example, the Luda area is already regarded as the rear area, and even if spies sneak in, they cannot get out.As long as they don't have the opportunity to report the news by boat, it's useless to spy on any information.

As for other places that are closer to the defense line, where there is a possibility of stealing news from Jiannu, the people who are resettled have conditions and restrictions.

Yingzi felt a lot more at ease when he thought that there was a reserve army in the village.I feel that even if there are spies, they must not dare to do bad things, and have to stay honestly.

"Girl, take a break before leaving." Yingzi's father stopped under the shade of a tree, and beckoned Yingzi to sit on the scooter.He took out his cigarette pot, glanced at the girl, walked away a few steps, and sat down in a downwind place.

Yingzi moved the chicken coop on the car, and the chickens he just bought were chirping.She sat down, took out the colored thread from her bag, and started to tie.

Yingzi's father watched his daughter doing the work deftly, and while smoking a cigarette, he thought: I don't know if it is for playing, or for some younger child.The age is also up, but after several times of talking, the girl is not in a hurry!

Yingzi imagined that brother Zhuzi would wear the fringe close to his body, thinking about himself wherever he went, so he couldn't help smiling, and a little blush appeared on his face.

.....................

The common people don't know that there is a theory about resettlement, and they don't know when the Jiannu will be completely wiped out, but they can feel that the flames of war are gradually moving away.

However, the generals of the Ming army could see Jiannu's loss of power on the map, and they could feel the dawn of Pingliao through continuous victories.

On the training ground, under the leadership of the veterans, the recruits on this side are shouting and practicing assassination; the recruits on the other side are mechanically repeating the actions of loading ammunition and raising their guns to shoot.

Kong Youde skillfully opened the iron cigarette case, took out one and put it in the mouthpiece, lit it and exhaled thick smoke.

The military pay is paid in full, and smoking cigarettes is no longer a luxury for an officer of his rank.What's more, he is single and has no intention of saving money to start a family. He eats, drinks and smokes all his salary, so he doesn't feel bad.

The troops had already been replenished, and within a month or two of training with the old and the new, his right association was full again, and its combat strength was almost restored.

Although he is still leading a team of officers and soldiers, his military merits have already promoted him to the rank of lieutenant general.Moreover, the Ministry of War has written that the Liaonan Left and Right Associations will be reorganized into a mixed association with a total strength of [-] troops.

With infantry, cavalry, artillery, supplies, and the newly added engineers, the Mixed Association can completely fight independently, which means that the imperial court will speed up the process of Ping Liao and launch greater actions against the establishment of slaves.

It is not difficult to guess at all, if there is no such purpose, how could the court have such a large investment?

However, what made Kong Youde complain a little was that the newly-built Mixed Association would divide the troops and combat power of the left and right associations.

Although the backbone of the newly-built mixed association is also from the left and right associations, after the independent establishment, it is a friendly army with the left and right associations, and is no longer a subordinate relationship.

Moreover, the text of the Ministry of War also ordered the left and right associations to deploy elite soldiers and strong generals to enrich the "rock" mixed association.

Elite soldiers and strong generals, who doesn't need it, who is willing to let it out and be led by others?
Kong Youde wondered if it was a trick to mix and match "Panshi" with some inferior soldiers and generals, but he was also an experienced veteran.

Looking up and seeing Zhang Pan approaching with two soldiers, Kong Youde shook off his thoughts and stretched out his hand to greet him loudly.

Zhang Pan approached and asked with a smile, "Brother Kong, why didn't you go to see the newly arrived artillery?"

Kong Youde chuckled twice, and said: "The artillery is fired under the command of an artillery officer. It's useless for someone to see it."

Zhang Pan shook his head, and said solemnly: "Brother Kong's words are wrong! If you can't understand your own army's equipment and effectiveness, how can you arrange troops and formulate tactics in battle?"

Kong Youde scratched his head, and said: "I know this, I just said it casually."

After a pause, he sighed with a wry smile, and said, "I was thinking about recruiting elites to form 'Panshi' just now, and I was a little tangled in my heart."

Zhang Pan smiled and said, "Then why bother? Just obey the emperor's orders."

Royal order?Instead of life?
Kong Youde was startled, and frowned in thought.

The emperor's decree to name "Panshi" has not yet come down. Kong Youde thought it was just an order from the Ministry of War, but he didn't consider it was the emperor's intention.

After Zhang Pan reminded him, Kong Youde suddenly understood.The newly-built mixed association will not only have elite soldiers and generals from the left and right associations, but also elites drawn from western Liaoning. The emperor's intentions are very deep!

Zhang Pan waited for Kong Youde to finish his cigarette before approaching him, sat down casually, and said, "Don't be reluctant to transfer people, and don't even think about fooling them. The role of the association will be great. Although Feng Datie and the others are loyal and fearless, they can hope to lead A team of people is not capable enough.”

Kong Youde blinked his eyes, feeling a little hot, but still tense, and asked tentatively: "Old Zhang, in your opinion, who will Long Live send to lead?"

Zhang Pan thought for a while, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I can't figure it out."

Kong Youde grinned, and said with some regret: "It would be great if XX personally led the third battalion."

Zhang Pan chuckled and said, "Then you should be punished for leaving your post without authorization."

After a pause, Zhang Pan continued: "Actually, we don't need to be overly jealous. If we train well, the left and right associations are not as good as the mixed associations?"

Kong Youde stroked the stubble on his chin, and nodded his head in agreement, "That's right, if the weapons and equipment are the same, we really dare to compare with the Mixed Association."

Zhang Pan drew out the dagger in his boots without pulling out the scabbard, and drew a curve on the ground, pointing and said: "No matter how strong the Hybrid Association is, it is impossible to directly hit Liaoshen. The left and right associations are the most effective allies. Coupled with the allied forces in the west of Liaoning, forming a flanking attack on Liaoshen, the time for a general attack will not be too long."

Independent Corps? !
Kong Youde fell into deep thought. Could it be that the imperial court wants to divide Dongjiang Town?Will southern Liaoning become another Ming army town?
According to the current military situation, Liaoxi, Liaonan, and Dongjiang headquarters can be regarded as the three major groups, and they have indeed formed a three-sided siege against Jiannu.

Originally, the military strength in southern Liaoning was the weakest, and it was only possible to attack by mobilizing troops from Dengzhen.But after the establishment of the Mixed Association, it was no different from the Dongjiang Headquarters, and they were all members of the Sanxie.

The point is that the location in the south of Liaoning is very important. Go directly to the north to attack. After conquering Gaizhou and Haizhou, they will point directly at the important town of Liaoyang, followed by Shenyang, which is equivalent to hitting Jiannu's lair.

The Ming army in western Liaoning still has a hard time in Liaoze, and the Dongjiang headquarters is farther away. If you want to go straight to Huanglong, southern Liaoning is the most convenient.

"Cannons, muskets, food, ammunition, and horses, the imperial court continues to invest in southern Liaoning, and the intention should be obvious." Zhang Pan said with a smile: "We are already the main force in Pingliao, and we will make great achievements. It depends on us." Is there any such thing?"

"Who dares to say that we are incompetent?" Kong Youde narrowed his eyes and said, "We are the first to destroy the slaves with infantry, right? Everyone else has to follow us!"

"There's a lot to learn from us!" Zhang Pan also looked confident, and said, "I've been researching and pondering these days, and found that there are still many things that can be improved in the infantry battle formation."

"Let's listen to it." Kong Youde's eyes widened, looking very urgent.

There is nothing wrong with making meritorious deeds, increasing official ranks, and taking this as a goal in life.Especially when meeting an emperor who is not stingy, who doesn't hurry up and work hard?
What kind of utilitarian mind, it is human nature to climb up, okay?You don't want to be promoted, you don't want to be named a marquis, and you don't care about fame and fortune, what kind of official do you want to be? Are you a fool?
