The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 499 Great Achievements
It is an indisputable fact that the number of invading Ming troops is increasing and their strength is becoming stronger and stronger. After taking Beijiang City in one fell swoop, the Ming army did not cross the Red River south to attack the capital of Dayue Kingdom "Tokyo".

Huang Sheng was stationed in Beijiang City, leaving Gu Shanhe's musketeers to garrison here, and the rest of the Ming army divided into three groups, sweeping holes in Liting to the west, northwest, and north. round up.

While sweeping across the towns of Dayue, the Ming army took the new immigrants from Hainan and the remaining immigrants from Qinzhou to immediately take over the land left by the landlords of Dayue, trying to prevent the land from being abandoned.

With the city to rely on, Liu Guozheng can rest assured of the safety of the Patriarch. He personally leads his subordinates to find the enemy to fight. The personal army is the most fierce army in the world.

It's not just that everyone has the skill of fighting with cold weapons, but the key is fierce firepower. Everyone has two double-barreled short guns, and half of them also have flintlock long guns.

They are simply well-equipped, each of them is really armed to the teeth, and the war horses are all the best horses. Using them to beat monkeys is like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

After walking around with Mr. Huang for more than [-] days, Ma Xiangling noticed something and became unhappy.

She is honest, she is not a fool, seeing the Huang family's private soldiers looking like wolves and tigers, she knows that Master Huang does not need her protection, and understands that Master Huang is keeping her by his side for the sake of safety.

The beauty is sweet and hateful in her heart, she doesn't want others to look down on her, she wants that person to see her own hundred-step piercing.

Hundred-step piercing poplar refers to being able to shoot through a certain leaf of a poplar tree at a distance of one hundred steps. This is an exaggerated way to describe someone's arrow skills.

In reality, it is impossible for someone to shoot a willow leaf at a distance of 150 meters with a bow and arrow. Bows and arrows in ancient times did not have such an effective range, nor did they have such accuracy.

Huang Sheng, who was busy dispatching troops to hunt down and intercept the defeated army of Dayue, was disturbed by a beautiful model, and Ma Xiangling blushed and asked to participate in the battle.

She said: "Master Huang, I have practiced literature and martial arts since I was a child, and I can also hold a strong bow and ride a strong horse. Now I have not shot an arrow with my lord. It is really hard for me to accept my lord's help."

The beauty is going to fight, and Huang Shengqiang staying will cause misunderstanding. He is very smart and has a countermeasure, and said: "Yes! But your subordinates are all women, and they are infantry. How can you keep up with the outflanking cavalry?"

"My lord, obviously many infantry are attacking and advancing, why can't the subordinates alone?" the beauty said unconvinced.

"Well, okay! If you agree to the officer's conditions, you can go to the battle."

"My lord, please speak, the humble post obeys orders."

"You are not allowed to ride a horse to participate in the battle. How about riding a war elephant and setting off with General Liu Guozheng?"

"War elephants? Where are there still war elephants? Those few war elephants have long gone."

"Of course, I don't need a war elephant to sit here now, so you can ride this war elephant to kill the enemy!"

"Ah?" The beauty's face turned even redder, and she was shy and embarrassed.

Liu Guozheng immediately understood what the Patriarch meant. It was much safer to fight with the cavalry and ride a war elephant. Your lord is really out of his mind.

The model beauty Tian Zizi set off on a war elephant with fifty Sichuan girls. Along the way, she found that something was wrong, because the beauty cheered thunderously when she found out that the Ming army found the war elephant.

This is not surprising, the Ming army found the war elephant and a group of female soldiers from a distance, thinking it was Lord Hou.

The model beauty's heart is beating wildly, it is obvious that her treatment is different!The beautiful girl who has just opened her heart has expectations...

This was a complete misunderstanding. Qin Liangyu sent his beloved daughter to the army to be gilded. No matter what, Huang Sheng wanted to let Ma Xiangling go home after making meritorious service. Of course, her safety must be guaranteed.

Huang Sheng released all the cavalry to participate in the siege and interception, and the infantry began to compete for each city and village.

In order not to cause too much damage, the Ming army focused on recruiting surrender and capturing captives. They were not allowed to set fires everywhere. No matter what buildings, new immigrants might use them for transition. Building brick and tile houses cannot be done overnight.

Dai Viet State has inexhaustible and easy-to-mine coal mines. The Huang family has a rotary kiln technology 200 years ahead of this era. Free captives provide labor. The cost of obtaining bricks and tiles is not worth mentioning.

In the future, the main structure of the houses here will be made of bricks and tiles. If a typhoon blows down tens of thousands of houses and makes tens of thousands of people homeless, it will be a rare natural disaster.

This is not whimsical. The biggest reason why the damage caused by typhoons in later generations is controllable is that the houses of ordinary people have become stronger.

The place of Jiaozhi needs to be specially protected from floods. It is imperative to build reservoirs and flood control dikes. Building brick houses will also have immediate effects on flood irrigation.

The floods in the Cochin Plain are often not washed down from the mountains, and the destructive force is irresistible to human beings.

Instead, continuous torrential rains lead to water flooding Jinshan. Often, the soil embryo walls cannot withstand the long-term immersion in rainwater, resulting in the collapse of walls and houses, causing the loss of lives and property of ordinary people.

Huang Sheng carried out the construction of villages in an organized way, building brick and tile structures like Hakka Tulou in Yijia as a unit, but bigger, ensuring that it can accommodate a hundred families without being crowded.

With such a building, it is no problem to fight against natural disasters and bandits. There are at least nearly 100 armed people in the brick and earth building, and there will be no less than [-] muskets. regular army with cannons.

While digesting the occupied territory, the three-way army was like a broken bamboo, and they rounded up for four months without any hassle.

The benefits of bringing wolf soldiers and white rod soldiers are reflected. They run across the mountains and fields at an amazing speed. Most of the malnourished soldiers and civilians of the Dai Viet Kingdom cannot run against them, so they have made great achievements in capturing prisoners.

Huang Sheng formulated a policy that the reward for catching alive was more than the reward for beheading, and it was cashed out immediately. The white soldiers and wolf soldiers were tirelessly chasing the fleeing soldiers and civilians of the Dayue Kingdom for silver every day, and they were all overjoyed.

The [-] Ming army was also infected by the scene of capturing captives and generating income. They all took the initiative to attack.

The private soldiers of the Huang family didn't care about taking advantage of themselves, they knew that there was no need for such a thing, and the patriarch would treat them badly by rewarding them for their merits.

It is the kingly way for the descendants of the Huang family to advance in an orderly manner in accordance with the regulations on marching troops. With the Huang family's private soldiers and iron cavalry going out for reconnaissance, and the firearms troops as the mainstay, there is no possibility that the Ming army, which is chaotically capturing prisoners, will be made dumplings by the enemy.

The Ming army, which came with wind and thunder, attacked Lang Son, Long Lun, Tra Ling in the north, Ku Bang and Dong Van in the northwest, and captured Nam Kwa and An Ming in the west.

After confirming that there were no decent resistance forces in the North of the Red River, the three armies joined forces and continued their attack from Yong'an across the River of Red River to the west.

The "Annan Port" area, which is constantly increasing its manpower, has a labor force of 40 men and women. Not all of them are building the port. Too many people are digging coal, transporting coal, building cement plants, burning bricks, building grain depots, etc. Anyway, all of people are working.

There are already [-] new immigrants stationed in various places, which also means that there are at least [-] Xinxiangyong with cold weapons.

The senior Xiangyong of Huang's family already has forty hundred points guarding forty cities. They also lead Xin Xiangyong to search their territory constantly. From time to time, ordinary people of Dayue who live in remote areas are rounded up.

These people no longer need to be sent for concentration, but are retained by civil officials such as Baozhang and Jiazhang to become tenant farmers.

Huang Sheng did not object when he learned of this situation. He wrote to each occupied area, paying attention to the population ratio. He found that all the soldiers and civilians of the country with combat effectiveness were sent to "Annan Port" for concentrated labor. It was best to leave the women of the country to farm.

The women in this land have always been hard-working, and it is not an exaggeration to hold up half the sky. It is much safer to leave them to farm in the occupied land. It is much more convenient for civil officers and new immigrants to marry wives and concubines in the future.

What's more, the protracted civil war in the country of Da Viet caused a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women, which may reach [-]:[-]. After this war of annihilating the country, it is very possible to reach [-]:[-].
