The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 497
Ma Xiangling didn't have much combat experience, this expedition felt exciting and fresh, and he had long fantasized about being able to fight bloody battles.

Hearing the conversation between the chief general and the senior generals, I found that they didn't think highly of their opponent at all. They thought that this lord was too young and too arrogant. The opponent was a country that had been passed down for more than two hundred years!

Liu Guozheng said: "Your Majesty, I will listen to your lord. One of the personal soldiers will leave a hundred generals and one general flag to guard the Chinese army. Let them draw lots to decide who will stay."

"Alas!" Huang Sheng sighed, put down the "lucky ax" he had been playing with and said depressedly: "You all have the opportunity to kill the enemy face to face, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to shoot in the future."

Liu Guozheng laughed and said, "That's right, now that our family is strong and strong, if you want to shoot yourself, wouldn't it be embarrassing to your subordinates?"

Huang Sheng looked at his loaders, pointed at them, and said to Liu Guozheng, "When you send out your personal troops, ask Xiao Shitou and Xiao Wei to follow along to practice, and I'm afraid you won't get the chance to actually fight if you follow me. They are all good seedlings who are one in a million."

The eight loaders were overjoyed when they heard the words, and said in unison: "Thank you for your humble job, teacher."

Liu Guozheng said: "The lower officials understand that they will take care of the brothers so that the little brothers don't suffer."

After all, Liu Guozheng was a confidant, so he immediately understood what the Patriarch meant, and stated that he did not need to worry about the safety of the eight loaders, as he would pay attention.

Ma Xiangling interjected: "My lord, I also want to go to the former army to kill the enemy, I hope my lord will fulfill my request."

"No, Miss Ma, didn't you find out? Because you brought a general flag guard to protect me, so I am going to send my guard out?"

Liu Guozheng, Li Ximing and other military officers tried their best not to laugh when they saw adults teasing beauties, and they all had strange expressions.

Ma Xiangling is an honest girl, thinking that the adults valued her so much, she was happy, she no longer asked to go to the front army to fight, and obediently trotted around the war elephant.

Her personal soldiers were all infantry, and they followed behind with a tight jog, and none of them was panting, which showed that they were physically strong.

The army crossed the Beilun River steadily and slowly advanced, and the first attack target was Mong Cai.

This place is not a small city at all in this era, and there is no city wall. The population of the entire area is only over [-].

There was no fighting, just killing more than 200 Vietnamese monkey soldiers, and the Ming army completely captured the area and captured [-] men and women as laborers.

The army continued to move south along the coastline, and finally a post-Li Dynasty city, Hehui County, appeared. There was a city wall here, and many soldiers and civilians of Dayue Kingdom from all over the country had already hid in the county.

In the past, this place was often attacked by pirates, and everyone hid in the county seat. The pirates would leave if they robbed enough, or found that the place was too poor and there was nothing to rob.

Few pirates were willing to take casualties and try to attack the county seat.

Huang Sheng used cavalry to cross the river to block the soldiers and civilians fleeing south, and spread a large encirclement with a large army of superior forces to round up the nearby soldiers and civilians of Dayue State as much as possible.

The grandfather of Hehui County, who was trying to defend himself with the city, was shattered by the fire of Huang's family. He saw that the city wall of Hehui, which was not even covered with bricks, was blown down in a large area, and he was terrified.

The Ming army did not aim at massacres, because Huang Sheng knew how many Han people in Dayue Kingdom were close to the Ming border.

The Kinh translators of Day Viet State began to speak, not only in Vietnamese but also in Chinese.Because there are too many people who can speak Chinese in Hehui County, and there are also many Han people.

Looking at the tens of thousands of troops pouring in from outside the city, the whole town of Hehui County was dumbfounded. Only then did they realize that it was not the pirates who harassed them at all, but the Ming army.

There was no accident, the whole city surrendered, and many people descended happily, all of them were Han Chinese immigrants.

As a result of the battle, the Huang family had more than [-] horse translators and more than [-] more laborers. This was all because the encirclement forcefully drove all the soldiers and civilians from the four villages to Hehui County.

The army continued to build roads and advance. Huang Sheng left behind [-] immigrant Han households, and [-] Han households living here assisted in stationing Hehui to reinforce the city and enclose the land for reclamation.Huang Jiayong, a hundred-president general, was left to garrison the city temporarily.

They have a few months to repair the city and train a thousand people. It is not a problem. In the future, the self-protection ability here will be safe. Soon there will be civil officials appointed by the Huang family, such as Baozhang and Jiazhang. will delegate.

Huang Sheng announced that the new immigration policy will be implemented immediately. Every household will get five acres of private plots, the Baochang will get ten acres, the Jiachang will get fifteen acres, the village chief will get twenty acres, and the pavilion chief will give forty acres of land. Choose the fertile land you like. It is true that private plots belong to private property, but they cannot be traded with each other within ten years.

If it is due to job transfer, the Huang family will pay for it at the market price or estimated value.

Every villager can rent good land to cultivate according to the labor force of the family. He only needs to pay [-]% of the harvest according to the two crops.

The naturalized Han descendants of Dai Viet enjoy the same treatment as the new immigrants, but they must set a good example for the new immigrants. If the harvest of the new immigrants is too different from that of the natives, they will be held accountable, at least the private plots of the natives will be confiscated.

The new immigration policy has long been written. Huang Jiayong is responsible for conveying it to more than a dozen households one by one. Everyone understands it, but the most excited are the natives.

They know that three crops can be grown here, and the owner of the Huang family only collects taxes on two crops, so they can get much more income, and there is still five acres of private plots that do not need to pay taxes.

This is the main reason why Huang Sheng needs to select [-]% of the native farmers to farm here. The reason why he must leave [-]% of the natives to mix with sand.

It was because although the new immigrants brought in were also farmers who could endure hardships and stand hard work, they had no experience in farming in the new territory.

The climatic conditions and soil conditions here are completely different. They have no one to guide them to figure it out on their own, and they don't even know when to sow and when to harvest here.

I don't even know how to manage the field. Of course, the locals need to teach by example, so as to ensure that the sweat turned into harvest.

It is the wisdom of the rulers to issue rigid regulations in words, and each aboriginal family and five new immigrant families help each other to ensure that the harvest is not difficult.

At this time, Huang Sheng spared no effort to provide the benefits of education. Everyone in Huang’s senior township can write and count. Digestion is a matter of course.

Huang Sheng led the Ming army to fight steadily in this way, winning a place, running a place, and repairing the original official roads of the Dayue Kingdom. The standard was a hard road surface that could at least ensure that two or three four-wheeled carriages could run side by side.

The Ming army took away [-]% of the local residents, took the property of the local gentry and landlords as their own, brought these people to work with the poor and lower-middle peasants, and left the aborigines who could speak Chinese and were probably of Han descent to assist the new immigrants in reclamation.

The strength of the Ming army was very different. The Ming army did not suffer any fierce battles. Fifteen days later, the army arrived in Ha Long Bay, leaving behind ten Baizong Xiangyong and 9 new immigrants along the way. Tuntian, of which more than half of the labor force.

Huang Sheng came to Halong Bay to find the best place to build a port. He planned to build the largest all-weather port in Asia. There is a natural deep-water port here.
