Chapter 719: Thirteenth year of Chongzhen
Yongping Mansion Taiye Chengjing also used the reserves, and sent the regimental training general soldiers to escort 50,000 stone of grain to Ningyuan, for which Hong Chengchou was full of appreciation, and wrote a note to ask the emperor to reward the Yongping prefect.
The war in Ningyuan will not end in a short time, and of course it is not possible for more than 100,000 people to be trapped in the city.
He Guilan suggested that the old and weak women and children who had no combat effectiveness among the people should be evacuated, and only the young and strong should be left in Ningyuan to assist in the defense, and Zhongming Fort and Yongping Mansion had the ability to accommodate these ordinary people.
In the Huangjia Northern Reclamation Area every year, many reform activists were treated as free people, and they knew that their families would get five acres of rice fields to become private property, and most of them chose to go south.
After the propaganda team explained the good policies for overseas immigration, many families decided to go to the south to seek a living, so the refugees in Zhongming Fort and Yongping always felt that there was not enough labor.
He Guilan knew that a laborer who went to the south to reclaim land would get more than twice as much grain as in the north, so of course she would take the overall situation into account.
She knew that many of the tun residents had been excessively inspected and studied in Yongping Mansion, and those who voluntarily emigrated south after passing the qualifications were about to set foot in the territory of "Nanming" to welcome a new life.
Familiar hands are gone, He Guilan will do her best to accept the displaced people to continue to cultivate, the population loss in the north of the Ming Dynasty is serious, and the land contradiction is actually not a big problem, too much fertile land has been abandoned.
Yongping Mansion received the people of Ningyuan, of course, there were enough acres of land for them to work and support themselves.
The great thing is the governor of Liaodong, who has the power to decide whether to remove the common people.
The reason why the imperial court let the border army take their families to guard it was to be able to achieve the same hatred when the enemy attacked the city, because once the city was broken, the soldiers' families would bear the brunt.
Now the situation is different, Ningyuan has received too many soldiers and people, and Tuntian is harassed by the Jiannu cavalry and cannot be carried out, so that the common people can be resettled in Zhongming Fort and Yongping Mansion, and they can also get the opportunity to support themselves!
In the following days, the grain of Yongping Mansion and Zhongming Fort was continuously transported into Ningyuan, and a large number of ordinary people took it out to be busy with cultivation and field management.
As long as Hong Chengchou does not make fatal mistakes, the history of the defeat of Matsuyama should not appear.
The situation in Chongzhen's thirteenth year is roughly like this: Li Zicheng, who is organized, talented, and disciplined, is attacking the city and developing with joy, and the team is expanding rapidly like a snowball.
The thieves had changed their usual style and began to try to manage the land they had laid, allocating land to the homeless people to cultivate, and sending magistrates to manage it.
The financial crisis broke out in the Ming Dynasty, the government was actually on the verge of bankruptcy, Emperor Chongzhen sold out of stocks and almost exhausted his internal funds, and it was difficult to continue.
He worked selflessly day and night before he was old, and his temples were already gray when he was only thirty years old, and Chongzhen, who was struggling alone, was really bitter and pitiful.
The Red Gangster is sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, because there is no information that the "Southern Ming" army is dispatched to the north, and he does not pay attention to the hundreds of thousands of troops of Hong Chengchou, and the target of the reinforcement is him.
The slave chieftain was full of confidence, if the Hong Chengchou Department was annihilated within a year or two, there would be no strong army in the north of the Ming Kingdom, and it would not be a dream for the Qing army to sweep the north of the Yellow River.
He felt that this time he was too right, but fortunately, he was prepared for danger in times of peace, regardless of his choice, and took the initiative to cut Ming.
The Ming army under the command of Hong Chengchou obviously has the courage to fight, and the combat effectiveness has also improved a lot, if the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops are not defeated and allowed to develop, the Great Qing State will face a terrible opponent again.
Hong Chengchou knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood, he knew that there was no chance of winning at this time, as if he was looking for death, and he withstood the pressure and grinded foreign workers, but the emperor's edict became more and more stringent every time.
Liaodong, which was stationed in Ningyuan, was like sitting on pins and needles, but fortunately, there was a big thing, and Liu Yingkun supported it, so he didn't make a faint move and immediately marched to Jinzhou.
Although He Kegang's troops have been besieged for more than a year, their morale is still there, and Jinzhou is united, guarding the eunuchs Ji Yong, Tang Daoheng, and Xiong Zhaoqi, who are serving as a grain judge, are all seeking to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
They did not sit still, and continued to organize men and horses to go out of the city to attack the Qing army without stopping, and also robbed the enemy's grain and horses, creating the illusion that Jinzhou's grain might be unsustainable, so that the slave chieftain could not stop making a mistake in judgment.
He Kegang knew that luring Jiannu to dry up and eat wind and snow under the city of Jinzhou would affect the enemy's production, so as to achieve the result of weakening the enemy's strength, and there was no doubt that weakening the enemy was strengthening himself.
The upright He Kegang is more tenacious than in history, and because he often participates in the studies organized by Tang Daoheng and Cheng Shiju, he has a wider horizon.
He was not worried about being trapped by Jiannu, because he unconditionally trusted the "God of War", and he decided that when the food ran out, he would not wait for reinforcements, and he would lead the soldiers to attack Jiannu and kill and eat meat.
This is not nonsense, in history, He Kegang led his subordinates to really eat human flesh and build slaves in Jinzhou, until he was killed by his own ancestor Dashou who prevented him from offering Jinzhou City after the surrender of Jinzhou.
In order to be prepared, He Kegang has already carried out the rationing system early to eliminate waste, why must he be full, eating seventy percent is more conducive to his health.
Tang Daoheng, Xiong Zhaoqi and other civil and military forces all tried their best to support the decision of the main general, believing that it was better to save all the money in the early stage than to be helpless.
The military and civilians of Jinzhou saw that the civil and military officials ate in the same pot as everyone, and they had no complaints about not being able to eat enough because of the ration, because they felt fairness and justice.
Jinzhou's military and civilian quality is high, of course, as Tang Daoheng, Cheng Shiju, Xiong Zhaoqi, and Xiong Da often lead their subordinates to go deep into the grassroots level for exchanges and propaganda, and the role played by night school study classes should not be underestimated.
Mao Yuanyi finally became a feudal official, and he has worked diligently in the past few years as the governor of Denglai.
After the chaos of Kong Youde, the Jiaodong Peninsula is in ruins, because there is convenient shipping here, and there is Fushan City, one of the earliest window cities operated by Huang Sheng, so there is a foundation for development.
Denglai is close to the free trade island "Huangjiawan Island", and of course it is uniquely blessed for economic development.
Shandong is a province with a large population and a large economy, as long as the officials who come to the government work hard, it is not a problem to develop Denglai into a prosperous commercial port city for domestic and foreign trade.
This is not a fantasy, and the business opportunities in Shandong alone are enough to make Denglai grow and develop.
Mao Yuanyi, who wanted to make a difference, arrived, and the eunuch Lu Zhi was his own person, no one was hindered, and the Huang family's advisers assisted him, and he would also get loan support, and the scientists who threw off their arms finally enjoyed the pleasure brought by their ambitions.
Mao Yuanyi abandoned the bad habits of Liaodong generals in the past and started all over again in the position of governor of Denglai.
He settled the war refugees, repaired water conservancy, developed trade, supported industry and commerce, and became richer and richer in Denglai for a few years, and he was relatively wealthy as a governor.
