The Ming army of Liaodong has an iron field for each guard, and most of the iron fields are located near iron mines.

However, because there is not iron ore in every place, or if there is, it has not been found for the time being. Therefore, some guards had to adopt the form of "enclaves" and set up their own iron yards in other guards.

The Changningbao Iron Yard is the "enclave" of Haizhou Wei, which is under the control of Liaozuo Wei.

In each iron field, there are iron fighting sergeants stationed all year round, and there are roughly 60 people in each field. These sixty sergeants were mainly responsible for the safety of the iron yards, as well as the production of iron ore and the storage of weapons. Therefore, most of these iron-fighting sergeants were old, weak, sick and disabled in the guards.

Generally, a slightly larger iron farm will employ hundreds of miners, while a smaller iron farm will generally not have more than 100 miners. The iron yard of Changningbao was established in the Jiajing period, and the iron ore resources are very rich. In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, Gao Huai, the supervisor of Liaodong Mine, wanted to swallow the iron yard here, but he failed to do so, so he had a big quarrel with Li Chengliang.

It's just that, unlike the miners employed in other local iron farms, all of them are Han Chinese, and the miners in Changningbao Iron Works are Japanese people. These Japanese were brought back from Korea more than 10 years ago when the Ming army won the victory, and there were about 700 people. More than a decade later, there are now fewer than 400 left.

In the beginning, these Japanese people could not even speak Chinese, and they had to rely on the Han people to communicate everything, but now, most of these Japanese people can speak some Chinese.

In that year, the Ming army brought back a lot of Japanese prisoners from Korea, and the number of Japanese soldiers brought back from the two expeditions before and after is probably nearly 10,000. Therefore, in order to prevent these subordinates from harboring ill intentions in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and harming one party, the Wanli Emperor specially ordered the reorganization. As a result of the reorganization, at least half of the Wai Wai were placed in the Nine Frontiers to defend against the Northern captives. The remaining half, who was lucky, was taken to the southwest by Liu Wei, and the rest was in Liaodong.

I am afraid that no one can say exactly how many people have surrendered to the Japanese in Liaodong now. Some of these soldiers were placed in the army, some were used as coolies in the mines, and some were used by the generals as domestic soldiers.

Not every general of the Ming army is like Liu Ling, who treats his subordinates equally. Therefore, in recent years, the wind of Liaodong surrendering and fleeing has been very strong. The fugitive widows were mainly coolies in the mines, and the one under Zheng Duo called Oshima Yugali was the fugitive widow from the Changningbao Iron Yard.

After escaping from the Changningbao Iron Yard, Oshima became a horse bandit, and some of the Japanese escaped to the beach to find a boat to return to Japan, but were found by local fishermen and sent to the official, and the end was naturally miserable. Some of them ran to the Jurchens and were taken in by the Jurchens.

At present, there are more than 100 fugitives and surrenders in Jianzhou, and some other ministries also exist to a greater or lesser extent. The Mongols may have one too. No one knows what happened. After all, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to make a statistical survey of the living conditions of these degraded Japanese and send it to Japan.

In fact, the Japanese side has long regarded these Japanese surrenders as dead people. Whether they were captured by the Ming army or voluntarily surrendered and fled to the past, these surrenders have lost the face of Japan. Although there have been calls in China over the years to redeem some of the Japanese from the Ming Dynasty and Korea, this call has not received much response because Tokugawa Ieyasu is now in a civil war with the Toyotomi family in Japan.

The reason why Zheng Duo proposed to surrender the Japanese is that Changning Fort is more than 20 miles away, and if you rush now, you can get people here, and then with a little arming, you can become a strong force that is not weak.

As long as Li Chengliang or Nurhachi did not send a large army to chase and kill Zasaktu, then with Zheng Duo's Flying Tiger Army and the surrender of the Japanese, Wei Liangchen had a great chance of getting Zasaktu in his hands.

As for how to get people, it's not Zheng Duo's concern. He had already told Wei Liangchen where there was manpower available, and if he Wei Liangchen couldn't get people, he would have no ability.

Liangchen admitted that Zheng Duo's proposal was very good, because the Japanese soldiers in those mines were all elite soldiers of the Japanese army in the past, and they had fought in China and Korea, and they were much better than ordinary miners who had never killed people on the battlefield.

The time is right, the place is favorable, and the time is right, and the good minister knows the direction of history; Geographical advantage, he is stuck in the only way to enter the customs in Zasaktu; Renhe, even Li Chengliang and Nurhachi, didn't know that there was such a third-party force as him.

As long as these weapons are given, they can be used on the battlefield immediately. Liangchen is very excited, but these iron fields that belong to the capital of Liaodong, he Wei Liangchen is just a two-hall housekeeper, why should he get people out.

"There are priorities, and the white card can be used to kill the city god, and the iron field can also be ordered." Li Yongzhen glanced at Shen Lian and the others not far away, and said in a low voice: "The majesty of the Li family, it doesn't hurt to use it for others. ”

It was really a word to wake up the people in the dream, Wei Liangchen chuckled, and asked Tian Gang to go over and ask Shen Lian to set them off.

"Going to Changning Iron Field?"

Shen Lian was stunned there, didn't he say that he would go to Shenyang, why did he change his mind and go to Changning Iron Field again.

Li Yongzhen said: "The Wei She people have something to do there, and Shen Xiaoqi will follow." ”

"It's... All right. ”

Shen Lian is helpless, this Wei She person is now very famous, since playing a white card to kill the city god forced the city god to rain, the word Wei Liangchen spread like a wind all over the land of Liaodong. Everywhere he passed, the people regarded him as a god, and even some ignorant people built a shrine for Wei Liangchen.

Fortunately, the ancestral hall has only been repaired in a few places, and it looks like the land temple, otherwise, if it is really cultivated like the City God Temple, this Wei She people may not be blessed.

Originally, Shen Lian more or less looked down on Wei Liangchen, a small housekeeper, and escorted him all the way to obey orders just because of Li Rumei's orders. Now, Shen Lian is a little afraid of this little sheren who can kill gods.

There are some things that we would rather believe in than believe in what we don't.

Zheng Duo summoned Oshima and asked him to take the two of them to the iron field first and contact the widows inside. Tian Gang also went with them, but he went to say hello to the officials of the iron field in advance, and told them that Lord Wei Liangchen, a member of the middle school, was about to come over to inspect. And, accompanied by Gonggong Li of the Inner Court.

This trick was thought up by Levi, and since he wanted to take advantage of the situation, he would borrow a little more. It doesn't matter if the brocade guards are enough, it doesn't matter if they are not enough, there is also the father-in-law of the inner court.

These are not enough, will the Li family give face? It's not enough, so I have to ask the Wei She people to behead you again like a city god.

The iron yard also has money and food expenses.

Wei Sheren went out of the customs on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and as the deputy envoy who co-organized the arrears of money and grain, he came to your iron yard on business, and it depends on you, the official of the iron yard, who is not long-sighted.

When he left, Liangchen felt that he was getting more and more awkward now. Official, what he does is a miscellaneous stream, and the people who use it are all fucking miscellaneous currents.

I hope that those who have fallen can be used for themselves.

………

More than 20 years away, the Changningbao Iron Yard has just passed lunch. A group of miners who had surrendered to the Japanese received steamed buns and drank them with pickle soup.

These foods are not as good as the sashimi and rice balls in my hometown.

However, the widows who were tired for a long time ate very deliciously, swallowing one bite at a time, and wished they could eat a few more.

The iron yard is still humane, and after eating, the workers are given half an hour to rest, first, to make it convenient for them, and second, to eliminate food. Otherwise, if you rush into the mine to work, you will inevitably get hurt.

This widow has a lot of strength, he works hard, and his wages are small, so he can't lose it in vain.

There is a Kyushu island who sings a hometown song every day at this point, but today he didn't sing it, but looked in the direction of the sea very melancholy.
