The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 317 30 Population

It was March in the sixth year of Chongzhen (1633).

Ding Yi only has a population of 15 in Lushun (including [-] descended troops from the Han army and [-] descended troops from Dengzhou). Many of the former Han troops have been reformed in the past two years and become Lushun hoarding troops. Responsible for hoarding fields.

In addition, 14 farmlands have been completed. South of Nanguankou, there is no place to store farmland in Lushun, and all of them have been stockpiled.

Last year, the autumn and summer harvests yielded a total of 27 shi of grain. This output was relatively low compared with other places in the south of the Yangtze River at the same time, but it was basically self-sufficient.

Originally there were 9000 soldiers and horses, and later Dengzhou Wang Weizhong took away [-] plus [-] soldiers from Liaodong (counting as [-].)
More than 1000 soldiers from Liaodong came to Lushun, so there were more than 8000 soldiers in Lushun.

After Ding Yi came back, he immediately ordered the conscription of more than 1000 troops, making up more than [-] troops.

Under the rule, there are 4000 elite soldiers (reserves), more than 11 craftsmen and workers, and the remaining [-] are civilians. Among them, there are at least [-] to [-] young and strong soldiers who can serve as soldiers.

According to the current situation, Ding Yi reorganized again. This time the changes were great, and a large number of middle-level generals were promoted.

Many people have not been promoted by the court, but everyone knows that the appointment of the court is not counted here, and only what Mr. Ding says is useful.

Ding Yi will set up Lushun Camp, Phi Island Day Camp, and Phi Island East Camp, which will be reported to the court as Lushun Camp, Phi Island West Association, and Phi Island East Association.

The guerrilla Zhang Jing of the Lushun Battalion had jurisdiction over the original 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion, 12th Battalion, 16th Battalion, and the 1st Cavalry Battalion.A total of 6000 people.

Mainly responsible for the first-line defense of Fuzhou, Changsheng Island, and Lushun.

The cavalry battalion was expanded from 1000 to 3000, and Zhang Jing was also the chief officer.

Ma Yue, the director of the 1st Battalion, is called Yingzheng internally by Ding Yi. The force is still [-], and there are [-] generals leading the team, all of which are more than [-] people. Pass line defense.

At this meeting, Ding Yi also basically outlined the structure of his army.

The battalion supervisor is the battalion officer, and the subordinate unit is the division. A division has 1000 people.

There are more than 300 people in each game, more than 1000 people in each division, and several divisions in a battalion.

Generally, the general manager of a division will be selected as the battalion chief and deputy. In wartime, if the battalion is dead, the battalion chief and deputy will be the top.

The 3rd Battalion was still Mao Xin, but at the same time served as the deputy guerrilla of the Lushun Battalion (this deputy guerrilla did not have a title in the Ming army, and Ding Yi did not want to change it to a modern one, so he called it deputy guerrilla, meaning Zhang's deputy, proving that Mao Xin was The second in command of Lushun Camp.)
The 3rd Battalion Maoxin has more soldiers and horses, with five divisions and 5000 people.

One of the more than 300 bureaus is in Wanghaibao, one bureau is in Guifubao, one bureau is in Hongzuipu, two bureaus will be in the newly built Fuhaibao this year, and the other bureau is in Nanxinkoubao.It is mainly responsible for the defense of this line. After these forts are rebuilt, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land can be surrounded between Fuzhou and Jinzhou.

The remaining more than 2000 people guard Jinzhou, and each fort has [-] strong Liao people hoarding fields, and Jinzhou has [-] people, so they can be used as soldiers in wartime.

The newly formed 12th Battalion was Xiang Huailai. This guy refused to be a soldier, so he was still sent out by Ding Yi.

His battalion has two thousand soldiers and horses, one thousand guards Beixinkou, and one thousand guards Changsheng Island, ready to support Fuzhou at any time.

The 16th Battalion Xu Bicheng, [-] soldiers and horses guard Fuzhou, and another [-] people are hoarding fields in Fuzhou.

In this way, the entire front line of Lushun has [-] soldiers. (This does not include the [-] garrison troops guarding Lushun.)
It seems that there are few soldiers, but Ding Yi's Lushun still has [-] years of reserve soldiers. They are trained in the queue and shoot arrows all the year round. Once there is a war, if there are too many enemy troops, just issue weapons and equipment, and immediately Several battalions can be formed.

From now on, Ding Yi asked Lushun to ensure roughly the same proportion of reserve service every time Lushun increases his troops.

For example, Lushun now has [-] soldiers, so it is necessary to maintain a reserve of [-].

Once there is a loss after the war, it can be replenished immediately. The order of replenishment in Lushun is generally that after the soldiers are damaged, the garrison will replenish the soldiers, and then the reserve will replenish the garrison.

Lushun's soldiers and horses don't seem to be many. It is impossible to attack and fight with Houjin in the short term, but it is definitely more than enough for defense now.

The Pidao camp is dominated by the guerrillas Xu Wei and Chen Shiyou, with 8 people in total under the jurisdiction of the 7th Battalion of Xu Wei and the 4000th Battalion of Xiao Yongqiu.

These 12 soldiers and horses will go to Phi Island. Originally, Phi Island now has [-] soldiers and horses ([-] infantry and [-] sailors), [-] hoarded troops, and [-] Liao people.

In this way, Phi Island will also have 1 soldiers and horses. At that time, Ding Yi will redisrupt and retrain.

The Phi Island Navy will merge with the 10th Battalion of Lushun's original Xilaojing 1500th Battalion with 3500 people to form a Naval Battalion, with a total of [-] people.

Among them, 500 are artillerymen, led by Seinfeld, and the artillerymen of each department are all assigned from Seinfeld after the training.

Because the artillery has almost no losses, Seinfeld has trained [-] artillerymen, and there is no place to allocate them until now.

Now that Ding Yi has arrived at Phi Island, the artillery can finally be assigned to the newly formed troops.

The East Camp of Pidao is Shen Shikui's department, and Shang Kexi is the deputy, responsible for the defense and training of Guanglu Island, Changshan Island, Shicheng Island and other islands.

This area originally had more than 6000 soldiers and horses and a population of about [-]. In the original history, it was sometimes coerced by Chen.

This time I did not participate in the rebellion, because Chen sometimes cut off those who wanted to rebel.

Ding Yi asked Shen Shikui to be happy with his monk, and focus on training soldiers, hoarding fields, fishing, and raising sea cucumbers.

More than 30 generals, captains, and armor chiefs from Lushun will join the middle and lower ranks of this army, and then they will be trained.

In late March, after the meeting, Ding Yi brought the 3th and 7th Battalions to Pidao, accompanied by more than 8 small military training experts from various ministries in Lushun.

The 8000 Pidao original infantry and the [-] brought by Ding Yi, a total of [-] people, were reorganized into four battalions. Basically, each Lushun army was equipped with three Pidao soldiers.

However, all the original Pidao soldiers will be distributed to various departments after a three-month intensive training.

Xiao Yongqiu led the 7th Battalion, He Liangwu led the newly formed 19th Battalion, Xu Wei led the 8th Battalion, Chen Shiyou led the newly formed 21st Battalion, and Yan Xiong served as the Pidao garrison battalion.

Shen Shikui's 3000 soldiers and horses were divided into two battalions. He led the 23rd Battalion of 25 people, and Shang Kexi led the 3000th Battalion of [-] people. Their first battalion had more soldiers and horses, and they were all Dongjiang veterans.Among them, General Wu Anbang, sent by the imperial court, was placed on Guanglu Island and was in charge of hoarding fields and fishing. The island was surrounded by the sea, and he could not leave even if he wanted to.

The small military training experts brought by Ding Yi will help them retrain their troops.

In addition, 2000 people were drawn from the hoarded troops in Pidao as the garrison, and 8000 were drawn as the reserve force, all of whom had to be trained.

The rest of the hoarding soldiers and the people still hoard the land.

Phi Island is a good place. Although there are not many fields that can be stockpiled, if you farm well, it is no problem to raise tens of thousands of people. However, in the hands of Mao and Chen, it has not played a big role. The main reason is that they do not pay attention to this aspect. Talents are not given relative benefits.

Many hoarders and Liao people have no houses to live in, and it is difficult to survive in winter.

Ding Yi asked to build a house as soon as he came here. There is no shortage of wood or people here, and there is no shortage of food now.

A large amount of grain was transported from Lushun, and the Liao people on the island received a bucket of rice every ten days. Regardless of their age, a family of three could receive one stone a month, which was definitely enough to eat and have more than enough.

Adults work as soon as they receive rice (children are gathered together to start learning), and everyone on the island praises them, and everyone works hard.

The rest of the islands treated each other equally, even Shen Shikui and Shang Kexi were overwhelmed.

They even persuaded Ding Yi, fearing that Ding Yi would not have enough food in the future.

But Ding Yi reassured them and said: "What I hope, my brothers and sisters in Liaodong, everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, that's all." tears.

Zhao Dashan nodded desperately while listening, yes, that's all, Mr. Ding really didn't want to conquer the world, you have to trust me and Mr. Ding.

At this point in Lushun's development, there are only good comrades like Zhao Dashan who are honest and honest, and they can see some clues.

Because he was working in the intelligence department, what Ding Yi asked him to do was not something a normal general could do.

After more than a month of reorganization and distribution, the population under Ding Yi's rule has reached nearly 30.

At this time, the total number of troops in Dongjiang Town was [-]. (There are also [-] garrison troops in various places)
The court's nuclear troops are still [-], and so are the salaries.

This means that Ding Yi himself has to support 6000 people, and the court is now paying less and less money, and it is getting more and more delayed.

Ding Yi basically has to support nearly 3 soldiers and horses by himself.

But this time, he received more than 1 soldiers from Phi Island, which needs to be digested, so Ding Yi does not plan to increase his troops in a short time.

At the beginning of April, Ding Yi returned to Lushun again, and called a meeting of the generals of the two places in Lushun to make a final plan.

In addition to the various divisions and bureaus, Shen Shikui, Shang Kexi, Chen Shiyou and other former Dongjiang generals participated for the first time.Wu Anbang continued to fish on the island.

Ding Yi gave several orders at the meeting.

The first assignment started this year is to stockpile fields and store grain.Because the peasant army is getting stronger and stronger, food will only become more expensive.

Originally, Ding Yi only had Lushun, and his farmland was self-sufficient, but now with Pidao, it is far from enough.

The second is to rob people.

Taking advantage of the turmoil in the world, he has already deployed in Dengzhou to gather refugees, accelerate the hoarding of land, and expand population resources. It only depends on how Du Ruhai, Liu Yuan and others are doing there.

The third is to expand the sphere of influence.Taking advantage of the Dengzhou Rebellion, Ding Yi's forces have occupied the entire Pidao Dongjiang, and some soldiers and horses have entered Dengzhou.

But this is not enough. With the influence of the peasant army, Ding Yi wants to extend his troops to all parts of the country and occupy more territories.

Among the three goals, the first two were clearly defined by Ding Yi during the meeting, and the third was only known by a few people in their hearts, and they did not say it publicly.
