The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 135 Conditions
The bigger the territory, the fewer soldiers.

In the past, there was only one Golden State, but there were [-] soldiers and [-] sailors.Now there is more Zhenjiang, and the area to the east of the Changbai Mountains, which is thousands of miles away.

Instead, the entire Golden State was reduced to 5000 soldiers and [-] navy troops.

The navy was originally transferred from various places by the imperial court. Although there are many sailors, good and bad are mixed.

According to the people left behind by Beizhen and Xie Youcheng, and inquiring about the news, the barbarians in Shenyang really dispersed and lived in the countryside.

Therefore, the old and weak in the navy were also dismissed, leaving only the strong and strong.

A saved military salary can support elite soldiers. The imperial court currently only pays [-] soldiers.

Second, it can be regarded as a response to the impeachment of many people against him. Aren't you worried about him, can he take the initiative to disband the army?
Next, it was time for the court to worry. If the barbarians attacked Beizhen, don't blame Jinzhou for not doing enough.

Although it won't happen in a few years, does the court dare to bet?

At the same time, he responded that the imperial court only paid [-] soldiers, and Jinzhou was poor, so he could only support these people if he paid [-] soldiers.

Otherwise, Jinzhou still has enough energy to support more troops, and the court should worry about it next.

This is very complicated, and the heat should not be too high or too low.

In short, active disarmament is beneficial and harmless.

Just like the later generations, the great people deduced the situation and made the decision of large-scale disarmament to reduce the burden of economic development everywhere.

Tang Qing'an Yuanguang is definitely not as good as a great man, but he has history to learn from, and he knows that the past few years have been rare years of peace in Liaodong as a whole.

Therefore, the disarmament of Jinzhou Zhenjiang will also be a very important boost to the great development in the next three years. Otherwise, the expenditure of more than [-] soldiers will be a great drag.

These tens of thousands of soldiers are battalion soldiers, not military households, and the cost is astonishing.

Zhenjiang is different from Jinzhou. A military fort was built along the road, and a lot of troops were sent out to garrison. The original ten battalions are not full now.

Big battles are gone, and in the Changbai Mountains, the two sides fight each other with military forts, but it still happens from time to time.

The barbarians simply don't have many troops on the east coast, so it doesn't seem to be a big threat at present.

As for sending a large army across the Changbai Mountains to attack the east bank, let alone whether the barbarians have food and grass to supply the army, even if they did, no one would do such a thing.

The only way to ensure the smooth logistics operation is to start from Liaoyang, go all the way to Phoenix City, or start from Guangxun.

In history, the barbarians attacked Shenyang and Liao and regained this area, and they also started from Guangxun. Later, Mao Wenlong captured Zhenjiang, and Huangtaiji led the army from Liaoyang, passing through Phoenix City.

As long as Zhenjiang is not lost, there will be no risk in the east bank area, at most a small group of cavalry will harass them.

Therefore, the Liao people gathered in Zhenjiang, under the leadership of the soldiers and Taoists, reclaimed acres of land while building military forts in the dangerous area of ​​the Changbai Mountains.

The harassment of cavalry is also a good thing in a sense.

In just two years, many people in the southern part of Jinzhou have forgotten the pain, and are prepared for danger in times of peace!
It is far from peace now.

Tang Qing'an took the personal guard battalion and did not go to sea, but took the land route.

Some places already have the prototype of a town, and some places are still scattered in the form of a village, because Jinzhou supplies ironware, farm tools, and grain seeds.

Although there is still a shortage of farm cattle, Jinzhou didn't come here like this before.

Compared with Jinzhou and other islands two years ago, the starting point has been much better.

Even in the Guan, not all households have farming cattle, and there are still many farmers who regard themselves as farming cattle.

"You manage well here."

Tang Qing'an smiled at Chen Heng, the Changshan sub-road patrol.

Changshan is scattered into villages, and no big city was built, because of the different geography, there are many mountains here.

"Garn the fields first, gather the population, and when the food is sufficient, there will be more people's needs, and finally build cities and towns."

Chen Heng was recognized by the general. Although he was full of joy, he still spoke calmly and expressed his thoughts.

When selecting officials, Gu Yingshi once told him that the lower the starting point, the more striking the results.

That's why he took the initiative to invite Ying to come to the Changshan area

"It looks good at the moment. You can make arrangements according to the situation instead of sticking to the rules. I have confidence in you, just let it go."

Scholars have this kind of virtue, and they like to carry it.

Tang Qing'an didn't take it seriously, and pointed to a lumber yard, where there were several piles of tall logs.

"What are you doing with so much wood here?"

Chen Heng glanced at Gu Yingshi and saw that he had no intention of speaking out, knowing that the other party had made up his mind to give him all the credit.

"There are a lot of forests in this area, and a lot of trees have been cut down for farming. In addition to keeping them for firewood, building homes, making beams, etc., there is still [-] to [-]% left over.

I don't know how many years these big trees have grown, and they are extremely difficult to cut down. It would be a pity to waste them, so I wrote an official document and contacted the Changshan Island Fishery.

For the felled trees, we remove the branches and leaves to keep the trunk, and then trade them for fish, shrimp and shellfish. "

Tang Qing'an nodded, very satisfied.

"It also takes a lot of effort to go through the shipyard and the cooperation of the fishing ground. You are indeed a brave person to do things."

"It's just doing your job."

Hearing this, Tang Qing'an smiled.

"Being conscientious is easy to say, but it's hard to do. If the officials in the court are all conscientious, how can I wait in this bitter cold place to live such a hard life."

Tang Qing'an pointed to the people working in the distance.

"These people will not suffer a lot of harm. They are far away from home, endured grief, and came here to resettle their homes."

Gu Yingshi, Chen Heng and other officials, seeing the general talking a lot, all raised the corners of their mouths, and echoed the general's words.

"Work hard and wait to see your results next year."

Tang Qing'an patted Chen Heng on the shoulder, and led them away from Changshan.

No matter how fast or slow, all places are developing. Encouraging along the way, listening to difficulties, giving opinions, stopping and going, it took a month to arrive in Zhenjiang.

Originally, he wanted to enter the Changbai Mountains and visit the military forts in the mountains.

In the end, neither Gu Yingshi, nor Feng Shengzhi who came later, nor the personal guard camp agreed, so Tang Qing'an gave up.

After entering the city, I met Chen Kaiwu and other generals, and after listening to the report, I finally met Xie Youcheng.

"Why hasn't North Korea moved yet?"

Xie Youcheng stayed in North Korea for a few months, and he can speak Korean very fluently, and he doesn't even need to bring a translator when he travels.

"They're still arguing over who to choose as the new North Korean leader."

"It's been a few months and it hasn't been settled yet?"

Tang Qing'an couldn't believe it.

It was originally a confidential and urgent matter, but it has been unable to decide for a long time. No wonder North Korea can't achieve anything.

"Who do you think is the most promising?"

"Lingyang Jun Li Ji, this person is the grandson of the former king of Joseon, and he is deeply loved by him, and the most people recommend him."

As in history, it was indeed this person who ascended the throne of Joseon in the end.

"Actually, the general can make the final decision."

Xie Youcheng smiled.

Tang Qing'an was stunned for a while.

"Many people secretly asked me who the general supports. It can be seen that there are still many people who care about our court's attitude."

When I woke up, I was being passionate.

"As for Lingyang Lord Li Yan, you go and tell Jin Yan to come see me."

In history, this person has done a good job, but the North Korean minister who supports Li Deren, Huai Enjun, no matter how sweet his words are, who knows whether Li Deren will change his attitude in the face of the pressure of the barbarians in the end.

Faced with the invasion of Hou Jin's army, Li Jing was forced to form an alliance with Hou Jin after several visits, but he still called Daming in private.

When Mao Wenlong was defeated by Hou Jin many times, he still won a lot of support from him.

Although there is a reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, but not many people can understand the truth.

That being the case, there is nothing to hesitate.

Three days later, on the banks of the Han River, several people in coir raincoats and straw hats nervously boarded a small boat.

The dark clouds are gloomy, which is the weather for discussing conspiracy.

The boat followed the Han River to the mouth of the sea, only to see several seagoing ships with the flag of Jinzhou on them.

"Brother Jin, will this Jinzhou general really support Lingyang Jun?"

The scaled Han River turned into waves when it entered the sea. The boatman was struggling, and some people looked worried.

"Since we have contacted us, there is nothing wrong with it. What I am worried about now is whether General Jinzhou will open his mouth like a lion."

"Ugh."

Li Gui sighed, now it is imminent, many rebels have been arrested in various places recently, I believe they will be involved soon.

Up to now, it can only be desperate.

The small boat approached the sea boat, a ladder was put down on the ship's side, and several people climbed onto the big boat along the ladder, Tang Qing'an was already waiting here.

"Meet the general of the court."

The two said respectfully.

"You are Jin Yan and Li Gui. I often hear from Mr. Xie that the two are great sages in Korea. Unfortunately, the king of Korea is so stupid that he puts the great sages aside and appoints the villains.

Not only did North Korea make the people miserable and complained, but they also wantonly entrapped upright officials. "

Entering the cabin, the rooms inside are neatly arranged.

On the clean and fixed wooden table, even the tea tray is fixed, with a recess on it, where teapots and cups can be placed.

Li Gui silently observed the young Jinzhou General, a rising star who had defeated barbarians in succession.

There is no arrogant arrogance, but gentle and polite, but he is a little unhappy to accuse the king of Joseon when he opens his mouth.

He also thought of the sergeants he had seen since boarding the ship, all of them were well-armored and had high morale, so he secretly compared them with the army in North Korea.

In his early years, Li Gui followed the current king of North Korea, the former Lord Gwanghae, to fight against the Japanese.

If it wasn't for the failure of the political struggle with the northern faction, and the fact that the king reused his relatives, as the leader of the western faction, in order to save the western faction, he could only choose to form an alliance with Jin Yan and others.

"I heard that many talents of the Western School in North Korea were suppressed, even exiled, and massacred. I learned that when our country joined the North Korea to fight against the Japanese, the Western School made great efforts, but now it has ended up like this. It is really regrettable."

This speaks to Li Gui's sore spot.

Back then, the Western faction supported Guanghai Lord Li Hui, who would have thought that after Li Hui came to power, he would favor the Great North faction and use his relatives more.

Not only neglected the Western School, but also killed the Western School, so many old disciples of his own disappeared.

"General, we are going to overthrow the rule of the ignorant lord and choose another wise king. I don't know what the general wants."

Li Gui said in a deep voice.

"it is good."

Tang Qing'an said happily, looking at the two of them firmly.

Jin Yan and Li Gui have been in politics for many years, knowing that what should come will always come, they met the eyes of General Jinzhou and waited for the conditions proposed by him.

"I have no conditions."

The two looked astonished.
