The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 70
[-] mu of new fields, the land is fertile, planted in May, harvested in September and October, can well relieve the pressure of next year.

Then continue to reclaim farmland in other places, continue to recruit refugees, and add supplies from the court, so as to form a virtuous circle.

If we don’t lay a solid foundation this year, we can only focus on raising food next year. The gap will continue to widen in the following year, and we will try our best to raise food again and again.

In this way, he embarked on Mao Wenlong's old path and fell into a dead end. He could only wait seven or eight years to gradually reverse the situation.

My ambition is not satisfied with Mao Wenlong, because Dazhou's "death spot" is not only Liaodong, but also the refugees in the interior.

Now I have [-] shi of food that I snatched back from the barbarians, plus a few thousand shi of food supported by the big bosses in the court.

This is the benefit of winning a battle, and the benefit of having someone in the DPRK, which can solve many unsolvable problems.

For the [-] shi of grain, except for the strong laborers who went to the fields, they ate one dry meal and one porridge a day, and the rest of the old and weak, women and children ate porridge.

Persisting for five months can feed nearly 5 refugees.

As for the sergeants, their rations are provided by the court themselves, and they don't have to compete with the people for food.

He is not without roots, and he is not afraid that Dengzhou will deduct his salary.

This is the plan I have figured out for the past two days.

After hearing Tang Qing'an's thoughts, Feng Shengzhi was shocked, admired, and worried.

Forty thousand mu!

"Among the refugees, there are less than [-] households with their own family resources, and most of them need us to support them. Brother Feng, you can give us whatever you want, and everyone is at your disposal. I only have one request, that they must be reclaimed within a month. [-] mu of new land."

Feng Shengzhi gritted his teeth and could only reluctantly agree.

In later generations, Changxing Island only has one land in the west mountain, and [-] mu of forest land will be converted from farmland to forests. I will reclaim [-] mu of land on all the islands, which is not a random number.

After sending Feng Shengzhi away, Tang Qing'an recruited the generals who had just been promoted, as well as the newly promoted captains.

Right now, the Donghai Battalion only has [-] soldiers, but now it is going to expand to [-], and it also needs to recruit soldiers.

More than 2 refugees on the island have to reclaim fields, and there are not enough soldiers.

Nearly a hundred ships, large and small, had to set off in groups, and the battalion had to be reorganized.

Whose ability is strong has already been reflected in Yangguanbao.

"I order."

All the generals stood up one after another.

"Five soldiers set up a team, one team leader, two teams set up a team, three teams set up a team, three teams set up a sentry, and five sentries set up a general."

The Shandong officials left, and Tang Qing'an could do whatever he wanted.

This organization was explored in the late Ming Dynasty, and it is a relatively reasonable battalion system.

The battalion system is different from the Weisuo system. It varies from place to place. There is no unified establishment, and it is established according to needs.

Liu Chengmin, Li Shenghu, and Chen Kaiwu are now promoted to CEO Qian. According to Guangning's habit, they can manage 1000 people.

But Tang Qing'an believed that their talents were not enough to command a thousand people, and if the wind went smoothly, Li Shenghu's team would be able to disperse, which was evident.

And Li Shenghu's team is still the most disciplined.

In the past, the Donghai Battalion consisted of ten teams, and there was a lack of low-level military officers between the teams.

Tang Qing'an made an analysis, and there was a mature battalion system to refer to, so he made this decision.

In my own team, I added a large number of low-level military officers to make the command more fluent, and can also train more military officers, and finally expand the promotion path, so that the soldiers who want to be promoted can increase their confidence.

"Set up a standard barracks, a regular barracks, a strange barracks, a reinforcement barracks, and a ranger barracks"

The standard battalion has the meaning of standard, and Tang Qingan intends to leave it to himself to rule.

Tang Qing'an originally thought of the Qi Bing Battalion, and he wanted Li Shenghu to be in charge, but after discussing with his second brother, he was determined and gave up on this idea.

The main battalion was led by Li Shenghu, and the reinforcement battalion was led by Chen Kaiwu.

The Ranger Battalion was handed over to Wu Zhenmeng as temporary substitute.

This person is one of the ten captains of the Donghai Battalion. Although he is usually miserable, his bravery in the battle of Yangguanbao is worth looking forward to.

"Your current official position is only to be the general manager. I still let you lead the Ranger Battalion. I hope you will work harder and live up to my expectations."

"Don't worry, general, I will not let you down."

In the end, a navy battalion was established. Li Er, the original captain, and Gou'er, the boss of the Shandong fleet, rowed out ten sandboats to train the sailors.

Tang Qing'an didn't underestimate the sea. In Liaodong, there was indeed no enemy worthy of attention on the sea.

North Korea and Japan, like the Great Zhou, are closing their doors. As for the barbarians, they can be ignored.

Soldiers disrupted the old organization and elected corporal leaders, special leaders, and captains by themselves.Tang Qing'an needs to be promoted only when he reaches the rank of sentry officer.

All soldiers in the army will be rewarded with one month's salary, the corporal commander will be rewarded for one and a half months, and the chief and captain will be rewarded for two months.

The rest of the sentry officers and above were all rewarded with one month's military pay, and this alone cost nearly 3000 taels of silver.

The money was rewarded and the official was promoted. If there were still people who were dissatisfied and clamored secretly to divide up tens of thousands of taels of silver in Yangguanbao, Tang Qing'an would not be relentless.

They were soldiers, not bandits, and Tang Qing'an would not allow such a custom of eating meat, drinking alcohol, and dividing gold and silver.

The entire Changxing Island, from the original lifelessness, suddenly seemed to be alive, and everyone had things to do.

Even the children organized themselves to go to the mountains to collect firewood, collect fruit, and if they were lucky, they could even dig out a bird's nest, catch a rabbit, and a pheasant.

The busiest one is Feng Shengzhi.

Crazy busy.

He couldn't take care of the rest of the islands anymore, Changxing Island was already enough for him to be busy, Tang Qing'an could only ask other students to do it.

Talent.

Tang Qing'an shook his head helplessly.

There is such a shortage of scholars, it is a pity that scholars are precious.

The barbarians in the southern part of Liao Zuo also moved. After receiving a letter of appeal for help, a group of barbarian cavalry, more than [-] people, rushed from Gaizhou.

After entering Fuzhouwei, he scolded General Zhao Gouyong when he saw him.

"Where is the enemy?"

Yangguanbao has been recovered long ago, an empty city has been recovered, and the inside has been moved clean, even the pots and pans have not been spared.

"The enemy went to sea by boat, and I don't know where they went."

Zhao Gou explained helplessly.

Now Fuzhouwei, head north to Yongning Jiancheng, Fifty Walled Stations, start from Beixinkou two hundred miles away to the south, and go all the way to Nanxinkou, Mangu Pass, Shihe Station...

Even in Jinzhou, rumors began to be heard about the movement of imperial officers and soldiers, but the army rushed there, but there was nothing everywhere.

The thousand soldiers of Fuzhou Guard were exhausted and demoralized, and even the hundred barbarians in the city were unwilling to move.

Now six hundred barbarians have come, but no one is happy.

There are only [-] soldiers in total, thousands of miles of coastline, no clue where to defend?Where can the opponent come and go without a trace?
The barbarians who came came to inquire about the situation, and it was even more troublesome. Jialaerzhen asked them not only to destroy the enemy army, but also to get back the supplies.

I can't even see human hair, where to get back the supplies,

Dozens of riders hurried to the nearest coast, looking at the silhouette of the island in the skyline. As the largest island north of the Yangtze River, Changxing Island had limited vision, so they couldn't see the scene on the island.
