The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 525
After discussing with the Qin brothers, Ma Xiangling thought that all the Ming troops suffered nearly half of the casualties, and that only the white soldiers suffered [-]% of the casualties, which is somewhat unique.

They thought this was very bad and asked to keep 1000 people.

Huang Sheng was embarrassed to plot against Qin Liangyu, and seeing that he asked for it, and sent these white soldiers' family children immediately after returning home, he was of course happy to see it succeed.

Later, Ma Xiangling and the Qin brothers were in a dilemma. They released a message to let the white soldiers who were willing to stay in Jiaozhi sign up. The result was unexpected, and the number of signups was as high as [-]%.

Baiganbing’s family lived a very hard life in Shizhu. When they came to Jiaozhi, every household would get five acres of rice fields of their own. There was no tax. Who wouldn’t want to!In the end, no way, a lottery determines the number of people left.

When the white soldiers went back by boat, Huang Sheng brought the civil and military personnel to "Annan Port" to see them off in person. The beautiful model gave Huang Sheng a sachet with a bold face and a red face. .

In the evening, Huang Sheng looked at the sachet with crooked stitches under the lamp and couldn't help laughing. This model beauty is good at horseback riding and archery, and the female celebrity seems to have no skills at all!
How about beauty favoring Nai Ruo?She clearly knew that she already had wives and concubines in groups. Why is this so?Huang Sheng couldn't figure it out, he could only follow the will of God!

Since he got [-] white soldiers and wolf soldiers, and the non-direct Ming army dragged his family to serve in Jiaozhi, and there were [-] Liren Xiangyong who had experienced actual combat who could be selected, Huang Sheng left most of them in Jiaozhi. Shoutu decided to form two troops with thousands of cold weapons and take them to the north to fight.

Huang Sheng has always adopted the method of voluntary registration and selection of the best to form a battle sequence. The Musketeers cooperated with the publicity team to start publicizing the treatment and obligations of the two thousand generals to be formed, so that everyone can sign up after consideration.

The Huang family never engages in deceit, and all policies are made public. Everyone knows that the salary of a soldier who goes north to fight will be raised to two or four dollars a month, and the real rice is a stone.

The reward for going to Liaodong to chop off the head of a slave is [-] silver coins, and those who want to die don't live.

The newly joined Ming army and Li Ren Xiangyong are both counting with their fingers. The Li people's cultural level is not high. They cut down the monkey soldiers of Dayue country before, and at most they can calculate how much money they can get by adding their toes.

Now it is obvious that there are not enough fingers, and the heads of Jiannu are too valuable, one is worth [-] soldiers of the Great Viet Kingdom.

It's crazy, too many men who think that their strength is overwhelming have signed up to be selected, and everyone is scrambling to be the first.

Huang Sheng selected some soldiers from the personal army to form the officer team of the two thousand generals, Ge Chengjie and Cao Hucheng respectively.

Ge Chengjie made outstanding contributions in the implementation of the plan to seize Hainan Island, and he trained Xiangyong in an orderly manner and was promoted to Qian Zong.Cao Hucheng has marched forward bravely in all previous battles, and he can be described as a general. He deserves his name as a thousand generals in terms of seniority and military exploits.

At the scene of the selection, a Li archer shot thirteen feathered arrows with a step bow and hit the target sixty paces away. Of course he passed the selection.

Cao Hucheng was very satisfied with the archer, and asked him, "Do you know what to pay attention to when going to the north to fight?"

The Li soldier replied in weird Huang's official dialect: "Report sir, I know it's very cold there, I might freeze to death, and my toes are most likely to freeze."

"Then why do you still go to Liaodong to fight? Isn't it good to be a garrison in Jiaozhi?"

"Sir, I know that the officers have killed Jiannu in Liaodong, and you are all good. The officer is not afraid of the cold, and the little one is certainly not afraid of the cold."

"Well said." Cao Hucheng praised loudly.He looked around and said to the surrounding soldiers:
"You should remember to obey the orders and follow the orders of the Huang family. As long as the orders and prohibitions are followed, there is no possibility of frostbite or freezing to death. There are so many people living in Liaodong. They can live, and everyone can do it. "

The veterans of the Huang family joked together: "We are not afraid of hardships to protect our family and defend our country. We obey orders and follow the Patriarch. We are willing to go south and north."

The generosity should be generous and the cohesion of one mind infected all the warriors of different races.

They roared out of their hearts: "We dare to fight, we are not afraid of death, we are willing to go to the north to kill Jiannu for the sake of the Patriarch..."

The newly formed two thousand generals that focus on cold weapons are quite different from other thousand generals. The biggest difference is that the musketeers with the largest number of people have changed their generals to stainless steel pulley bows. There are a total of 600 people, of which [-]% are Li people. , [-]% of Liangguang Ming army, Baigan soldiers and wolf soldiers.

Among the tens of thousands of archery warriors and soldiers who have practiced archery since childhood, their infantry skills are definitely not inferior to Jiannu armored men. They are familiar with the steel pulley bow and Jiannu will surely win when they shoot against each other. .

There are no cavalry in these two thousand generals, and each thousand has a total of 300 people mixed with white pole soldiers, wolf soldiers, and Guangdong and Guangming sabers and shields.

There is also a mix of firearms, the number is also 300, there are grenadiers, artillery, musketeers, and also has twelve field cannons.Each Qianzong has [-] auxiliary soldiers of various arms, most of whom are soldiers of different races who have not been selected as regular soldiers.

The new territory of Jiaozhi has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build water conservancy facilities. Large-scale water conservancy projects are combined with small watershed management. The ditches, reservoirs, and dams that were originally abandoned by the poor soldiers of the Dai Viet Kingdom have all played a role, and now they have increased a lot.

Food is too important. In the north of the Ming Dynasty, droughts have occurred year after year, and locust plagues occur once every three years, which directly led to military disasters.

The climate of Cochin was also affected by the Little Ice Age, but it was not a big deal, except that the hot weather was less than a dozen days, and the impact on the crops was minimal.

With these basic constructions, Cochin Province's ability to resist natural disasters will be greatly improved.

Huang Sheng is still not satisfied. Every year in the future, he will organize labor labor and invest funds to increase water conservancy facilities in a planned way, striving to make this place a grain base for Huang's family to guarantee income from drought and flood.

There is a proverb in the Ming Dynasty, Huguang is familiar with the world, and Huguang Province in Ming Dynasty is equivalent to Hunan and Hubei in later generations, not the abbreviation of Hunan and Guangdong provinces.

However, Huguang, the world's granary, became a battlefield for several parties in the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty. How could the world be able to make the world full?

Huang Sheng strives to achieve "Jiaozhi is familiar with the whole world" within three to five years. Immigrants will continue to settle here, leaving heavy troops to garrison to ensure that Jiaozhi will not be affected by military disasters, and can continuously transport life-saving food to Daming by sea.

Shipping grain by sea is not based on imagination. In the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was blocked by the Yellow River diversion and was unable to navigate. At that time, grain was transported to the north by sea from Nantong Prefecture to Tianjin Wei.

More than three hundred years have passed, the development of the times has entered the era of great navigation, and the navigation technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. Now it has got rid of the limitation of having to wait for the monsoon to come, and it is completely open to navigation all year round.

The speed and quality of contemporary sailboats have also been greatly improved, and the safety is relatively much better.With the scientific management and high efficiency of "Huaxiahai Operation", the cost of transporting grain from Jiaozhi to Tianjin Wei is the same as the cost of transporting grain from Nantong Prefecture to Tianjin Wei in the Ming Dynasty, and the time will not be more than a few days.

If the imperial court transported grain through the Grand Canal northward, the speed could not keep up with the "Huaxia Sea Operation" grain ships that transported northward from the Jiaozhi Sea.

Since the allocation of acres of land in Cochin Province has been completed, the new immigrants who have come to Cochin one after another will not be given land for the time being, and let them work as laborers to build roads first.
