The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 104 Marriage
In history, Qi Jiguang gained a great reputation in the south, and later he was assigned to Ji Town to organize and train the soldiers of the nine frontiers, and the effect was remarkable.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong, a famous general in Qi Jiguang, combined with the new height of firearm development at that time, such as the acquisition of Hongyi cannon, etc., and innovated a new battalion system.

A super "behemoth" that combines attack and defense with a mounted vehicle, artillery and logistics.

The whole battalion has more than 3000 cavalry and infantry soldiers, 100 carriages of various colors, hundreds of cannons of various colors, 250 firearms, [-] pairs of cavalry armor, more than [-] war horses, more than [-] mules, and camels. Thirty head, [-] cattle and so on.

At the end is the tortoise formation covered in thorns, even if it is in a desperate situation in the wild and loses supplies, it can still stand alone for forty days.

forty days.

What is this concept?
Unfortunately, Tang Qing'an couldn't learn.

The battalion needs 120 million taels of silver every year.

The imperial court gave Jinzhou a military system of 6 soldiers and a navy of 200 soldiers, nearly [-] people, and the annual salary plus food was only [-] million taels.

If he learned from Sun Chengzong, he would spend 7000 million taels of silver a year to support less than 120 people. He was afraid that the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty would directly let him vacate his position and give way to the virtuous.

It is 200 million taels of silver this year, Tang Qing'an is not sure, how many years the court can last.

You must know that there are two bigger gold-swallowing behemoths, Liaoxi and Beizhen.

Adding up the three of them, the materials and salaries that the imperial court needs to supply in a year will cost as much as 1000 million taels of silver a year.

The war machine is so terrifying when it starts.

Tang Qing'an already knew that the old slave left for Mongolia.

No matter how much supplies the old slave got in Mongolia, it was far from being able to fill the vacancy of the old slave.

The old slaves now have an army of 20, and they are in slavery. They can't afford to rely on only a few million Liao people in Liaozuo.

Even if the materials in Haizhou were not acquired by Tang Qing'an's sneak attack, in history, Houjin issued the famous "lore order" shortly after winning Beizhen again.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was because of the resistance of the righteous people from all over the country, but in reality, there was a shortage of gold and food, and it was unable to support the growing army.

Raise 20 soldiers, [-] soldiers, and [-] soldiers.

The required national strength is a geometric multiple growth.

When the old slave returns to Shenyang this time, even if Tang Qing'an does not go through the historical data, he can deduce that even greater suffering is coming for the people of the Liaozuo Liao people.

Sadly, most of the tough people in the south of Liaozuo have flocked to Jinzhou.

The remaining millions of people in the southern part of Liaozuo are either powerless, good-natured, or wait-and-see and so on. After all, they are used to passive acceptance and are unwilling to take the initiative to fight for it.

That being the case, Tang Qing'an could only let nature take its course.

The scope of his current control, the security zone, has reached its limit.

However, there are still more than [-] million people in the northern part of Liaozuo, and there are countless righteous people among them, so Tang Qing'an wants to expand his army.

The expansion of the army is to go north to Zhenjiang and meet those tough people in the northern part of Liaozuo.

Wait until the millions of tough people in Liaozuo come under the rule and train [-] elite soldiers, and then go to meet those good and obedient people.

At the latest, the barbarians will start the lore order in the next year, and in a few years, these millions of good and obedient people will soon become tough people.

Three years to accept, three years to consolidate, three years to rule the army, and ten years to sharpen a sword.

One hundred thousand tenacious soldiers and millions of tenacious people, who can stop them?
Tang Qing'an smiled, and finally revealed the matter of military expansion to the generals.

This time the troop expansion will not be done by expanding the battalions like half a year ago in May. Although it is troop expansion now, the battalions will actually be abolished.

Now he has this prestige and confidence.

Jinzhou is already on par with Beizhen and Liaoxi.

Newly established the Nine Zheng Battalion and the One Cavalry Battalion.

One battalion and one battalion commander, two thousand commanders, five commanders, 25 sentry officers, 75 captains, and 220 five commanders.

The whole battalion has 3000 soldiers, and the ten battalions have a total of more than [-] people.

This will be the mainstay of the Golden State field.

The remaining [-] soldiers were stationed in Jinzhou City, and the [-] soldiers were divided into [-] soldiers in South Guam behind Jinzhou City, [-] soldiers in the salt field, [-] soldiers in Beihaitou, and so on.

The second most important place is Lushun garrison with [-] soldiers, and the third most important place is Dalian Bay garrison with [-] soldiers.

In the newly recovered land, there are [-] new soldiers in the first heavy city, [-] soldiers in each of the two big forts, and [-] soldiers in total in the fortresses of Daheishan and Xiaoheishan.

A total of nearly [-] soldiers defending the city.

The battalion generals are: Li Shenghu, Chen Kaiwu, Wu Zhenmeng, Zhang Bo, Huayan, Peng Dahai, Guo Ying, Li Qi, Zhu Xiu, and Li Bosheng.

Xu Shoufu, the guard of Xinjin, Liu Chengmin, the chief general of Jinzhou, Yang Qing, the deputy general, Deng Xing, the guard of Hongzui Fort, and Jiang Wanhua, the guard of the fort.

Jinzhou General Zhao Gouyong was in charge of strictly inspecting Jinzhou's military equipment, and soon he would personally supervise the construction of the city in Dalian Bay. This place will be Dalian in later generations, with a population of more than 700 million in later generations.

It has not been fully developed yet, and it can be used more to obtain more acres.

It turns out that the generals of Fujin Erzhou, except for those who have made meritorious service and are capable of fighting, including some generals with low abilities in the Donghai Camp, have all withdrawn from the front line this time.

Transferred to various places behind Jinzhou to become defenders, although not taken seriously, but the level is still there, and there is nothing to do with the general trend.

Tang Qing'an was not afraid that someone would have a second heart, thinking of joining the barbarians.

The geographical advantage of Jinzhou does not allow the generals in the rear of Jinzhou to contact the barbarians, and it will not work unless the city of Jinzhou is broken.

There is also a South Guam a few tens of miles behind Jinzhou City. The two cities are one in front of the other, and the main road of Jinzhou is blocked.

As soon as Tang Qing'an finished speaking, the two hundred generals became lively.

Everyone's expression is different.

Forty percent of the ten battalions are capable of fighting in the Donghai Battalion, [-]% are capable fighting generals from refugees, and [-]% of the generals from Jinfu Erzhou were reduced from the original [-]%.

And these [-]% of the generals were all generals who Tang Qing'an contacted and attached himself to when he was in Changxing Island.

Whether it's loyalty to the imperial court or to Tang Qing'an, there is nothing to say.

The guards of the major cities and forts are all trusted by Tang Qing'an.

The tide is gone.

Zhao Gouyong held his bald head and said nothing, as if he had no opinion.

In any case, the people in the camp with hair speak louder than the people without hair.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of winning a big victory, taking advantage of this time's large-scale expansion of troops, all the generals in the army who surrendered due to the situation at the time were swept to the second line behind.

Ming then reused Zhao Gouyong, the second official in Jinzhou, but actually kicked him out of the barracks completely.

The next morning.

Originally unwilling to stay on the front line, Tang Qing'an considered Donghaiying's affection, and transferred Zhou Ji and Li Dun, who were beside him as attendants, to bring basins of towels happily.

All the generals came to offer a toast to him yesterday, except Zhao Gouyong, who drank a whole cup, and the rest of the generals who toasted, he just took a sip, but returned drunk.

His head was still aching, so he washed his face with cold water, threw the towel into the basin, changed into casual clothes and went to the front hall. Breakfast was already set.

While eating, Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Many generals are waiting outside the door to ask for an interview, and many of them came here before dawn."

"Why are you here so early?"

Tang Qing'an knew that someone would look for him today.

He promotes his own people, those generals who have just been promoted, of course he also wants to promote his cronies.

The battlefield is different from others, and the back must be someone you trust.

So I expected that many people would come to him today, but I didn't expect to be in such a hurry.

"The general doesn't know, these people are smart, they know that there are so many people today, maybe it will take a few days to go, so they didn't go back last night, they just found a corner and got sleepy."

Li Dun was amazed.

There are really a lot of smart people, but he didn't realize that it was the end of October after all, compared to last month when there were still people sleeping in the open air.

Some people were obviously not drunk, why they were frozen all night, and they suddenly realized why they got up and lined up before dawn today.

"Well, let them come in in order."

"Just here?"

Zhou Ji asked.

Tang Qing'an nodded.

Huayan was the first to come in. Although he was not the first in line, he was the first battalion commander in line.

So he came in first, and the rest of the individuals didn't have a problem.

"Ouch, I'm so hungry."

After Huayan came in, he didn't expect the general to see him here, rolled his eyes, and grinned.

Elite soldiers have such personalities, and their bosses are willing to show face.

Huayan is still a cavalry soldier, and the commander of the only cavalry battalion in Jinzhou is of course even more proud, so he put on an air in front of the general.

The breakfast on the table is very simple, a pot of noodle soup, a plate of meatloaf, a plate of boiled eggs, and a stack of pickles.

Tang Qing'an took a bite of the meatloaf, and another gulp of noodle soup. After finishing one meatloaf, he picked up the chopsticks and stuck it into the egg, and swallowed an egg in two bites.

Huayan was not very hungry originally, but this time he was really hungry.

"Eat, eat."

Hearing the general let go, he took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Zhou Ji with a dazed smile, first scooped up a bowl of soup and drank it, took two mouthfuls of pickles, and then grabbed a meatloaf and put it directly in his mouth.

"General...I know that today, many people want to transfer... cavalry from my cavalry battalion." Huayan swallowed hard, and continued to complain when it was smooth.

The Dun army is not only stationed in the military fort, but more importantly, it must be closed at night, and the news from the surrounding area will be passed back, and then the military fort will be sent to the rear.

The military forts on the front line are not only checkpoints built on dangerous grounds, guarding the city, but also the eyes of the rear.

Originally there were only a few hundred cavalry in Jinzhou, and all the ministries were scrambling to get them. Now that there are so many military forts, such as Guifu Fort, which goes hundreds of miles into the front line, requires a lot of nights.

If you don't close at night, you don't even know that the enemy's army is pressing down on the border.

"Well, I see, you go back."

Seeing that Huayan was full, Tang Qing'an already knew his reason for coming, so he was reluctant to let him go, so he told him that he could leave.

Huayan was helpless, and defended himself once again. The cavalry battalion was not enough, so he left the General Military Mansion.

Deng Xing came in after him. In addition to recommending a few talents he was optimistic about to the general, the lion finally opened his mouth and asked for a hundred cavalry.

When Liu Chengmin came to the General Military Mansion, ready to meet his elder brother, he was stunned by the scene before him.

"Second Master, I'll take you in."

Seeing that it was Liu Chengmin who came, Li Dun immediately greeted him with a smile, and wanted to drag him through the back door.

Liu Chengmin was nothing serious at first, it was nothing more than a letter from the third brother who traveled around the capital, telling his elder brother how to prepare for his marriage.

Rejecting Li Dun's kindness, Liu Chengmin planned to come back at night.
