Chapter 400: Secret War
There is food and silver to take, no one is afraid of hard work, this is the industrious Han nation, this is the characteristics of the vast majority of Han people, for hope, Han people are willing to make great efforts and sweat profusely.
The bunker defense system built by Ning Yuandong's previous Liaodong Governors spent more than ten years and millions of taels of silver was not abandoned by the "Red Banner Army".
On the contrary, the soldiers and civilians also repaired and strengthened some forts within a radius of 30 miles east of Ningyuan, basically extending to the sea at intervals of ten or five miles.
This line of defense stretches for nearly 60 miles, between Yanshan and the sea, there is a strong city of Ningyuan behind it, and there is Juehua Island on the sea, which has become the east gate of the western Liaoning corridor, and since the "Red Flag Army" came here to implement the decree of the Jinzhou region.
Strictly speaking, it is quite easy to get in, and if you want to leave, you must be guaranteed by someone, otherwise you will be detained in the cement factory as a coolie for three years for no reason.
If it is proved that he is innocent, he can freely divide the acres of land and leave it for reclamation, and the spies who are proved to be Jiannu can lose their heads at any time, so many Han people who can't tell the way are detained, and they exchange their sweat in cement factories and coal mines for food to eat a full stomach.
Because the management of the "Red Banner Army" was in place, and because of the secret posts arranged in the pillboxes, mountains, and dense forests, the cavalry on standby at any time could eliminate the sentinels sent by Jiannu in the shortest possible time, so the slave chieftains knew nothing about Ning Yuanxi's arrangement and strength.
The use of spies is Jiannu's consistent policy, and paying attention to the collection of intelligence is the guarantee for Jiannu's accurate attack.
Hearing that the "Red Flag Army" was involved in Ningyuan, the Red Gangsters were restless, and issued an order to focus on investigating the military situation near Ningyuan City, and the slave chiefs wanted to know how many people there were, and how many people were in the "Red Banner Army".
In the fifth year of Chongzhen, that is, the sixth year of Jin Tiancong, the red gang has been the head and tail of the Jin Khan for six years, and his position has gradually stabilized.
The red gangster, who had just punished Mang Gurtai, was more powerful, and Dai Shan chose to remain silent when he saw that his son Yue Tuo was reused, and now he basically doesn't ask about anything.
The youngest of the four major Baylors in the old slave period became the Great Khan, which of course caused the other three Baylors to be dissatisfied.
The red gangsters who had just sat on the throne of the Khan chose forbearance, and every time they discussed major matters, there were four chairs, Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai and Honggang sat together facing the south and made joint decisions.
The arrogant Erbeile Amin was imprisoned the year before last, and this year, the domineering Sanbeile was deprived of the title of Heshuobeile and demoted to Dorobele, cut five Niu Lu soldiers and horses, and fined 10,000 taels of silver and dozens of war horses.
Because the red gang has already achieved the imperial power, and because Mang Gurtai is short-tempered and unpopular, the generals of the Eight Banners are afraid of it, and no one helps him speak.
Mang Gurtai was suspicious of the Great Khan, and most people chose to push the wall down.
Some of the Eight Banner generals who had dealings with him were afraid of being contaminated with bad luck and cut off contact.
Mang Gurtai was set up and had no real power, and now he can only choose to bow his head, but he will not think that he will inevitably be stabbed if he shrinks his head.
In March, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the spring ploughing in Liaodong was not over, and the fields were full of indifferent Aha and whip-wielding Tunguska slave owners.
The black soil in the northeast is very suitable for the cultivation of crops, but the grain yield per mu of Houjin is not high, which may be caused by slavery.
This is the same as before the land contract of the national dynasty, the common people did not have the enthusiasm to plant their own fields, so that there was not enough food to eat and even starved to death, and later the fields were contracted to private individuals, and there was no longer a situation of starvation.
Most of the people who were busy in the farmland of the Houjin slave owners were Han Aha, and it was impossible for the slaves who were whipped every day without food and clothing to really work hard for the slave owners.
The Han people are too calculating, and it can also be considered extremely selfish, and they don't even buy the so-called masters of the house to the collective and the country, and adopt the method of doing as little as possible to do nothing, which can be seen in the work for slave owners.
As soon as Huang Han came up, he adopted the principle of distributing the private harvest in half of the acre, that is, he knew that the Han people were too smart, and the Han people, who could not afford to be unprofitable, would certainly do their best to serve their land.
There was so much land in Jiannu that due to the lack of manpower, it was impossible to cultivate it at all, and most of them chose good land for cultivation.
But even so, the output is difficult to guarantee, so it is in vain that Jiannu, who has too much fertile land, does not have the land contradiction of the Ming Dynasty, and Jiannu is short of grain every year, so he has to rely on robbery and purchase of subsidies.
The slave chief appeared at the spring ploughing site, the numb Aha knelt on the ground, and the red gang pretended to shh the cold and ask for warmth, and then picked up the hoe with his own hands and pretended to give some instructions, and ended the show in the flattery of some traitor officials.
When he returned to the city, he thought of Ning Yuan and asked Yue Tuo, who was accompanying him, "Heshuo Belle, why hasn't Ning Yuan reported yet?" What the hell is going on there? ”
Yue Tuo is also considering sending additional people to report to Ning Yuanxi, because intelligence collection in other aspects is normal, only Ning Yuanxi has been aggressive, and the tanma and secret agents who went have disappeared silently, and no one has turned back so far.
Yue Tuo said truthfully: "Great Khan, the minions think that it must be the 'Red Flag Army' that has strengthened the investigation and caused our army's sentinels to miss, so the minions will once again organize elite sentry cavalry to report to Ning Yuanxi with a team of ten and a team of hundred, and I believe that there will be news within ten days." ”
Honggang nodded and said: "The 'Red Flag Army' should not be underestimated, it will definitely be my golden rival in the future, it is very important to collect their intelligence, and Shuo Beile not only has to send more detectives, but also has to join forces with Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I and other Han officials, sometimes if you can buy people inside, the value of intelligence is completely different." ”
"The slave has been taught, and he will contact Master Fan when he goes back."
"I have been using Han officials in large numbers, not because I think that these scum who have forgotten their ancestors will be loyal to the Dajin Kingdom, but because I use them against hundreds of millions of Han people.
How big the Ming Dynasty is, how many Han people, only by using the Han people to deal with the Han people, my Dajin Kingdom can profit from it, so even if you look down on those Han people who surrendered in your heart, you can't just say it. ”
"The slave obeys the order, and the slave will live in harmony with the Han official in the future, and will never speak ill of each other again."
"It's good that Heshuo Baylor can understand my good intentions, do it well, and I will not hesitate to reward it."
"Xie Da Khan!"
Yue Tuo is the best of the wild boar skin grandchildren, there is a strategy, there is a city, he attaches importance to state affairs, and on the same day he really summoned Li Yongfang, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanme, Zhang Cunren and other Han officials to brainstorm.
Next, the sentry horse and the secret agent sent more than a dozen teams, and the task assigned was to quickly find out the layout of the "Red Flag Army" in Ningyuan.
