Chapter 355: Request

"Very well, so, what are you going to do next?" โ€

Next, the ministers will select some of the former Ming officers who surrendered and selected some officers with good military skills or good popularity.

Secondly, according to the demographic data, we will count the strong laborers one by one, use them as auxiliaries, and use these old officers as leaders to calm the people's hearts.

Thirdly, the ministers would ask these officers in detail about the situation in the surrounding mountains and rivers, and with the help of these local snakes, correct the map of our army, and conduct a second reconnaissance of the key areas. โ€

Chen Xin waved his hand in satisfaction and interrupted him, "Yes, it's very organized, big cat, you did a good job, I'm relieved, I still need to do something, just say it!" โ€

The big cat smiled modestly, and then said respectfully, "There are indeed two things that need to be troubled. โ€

?โ€œ Then in front of me, do you still need to be polite? You run the city, but you're doing things for me. โ€

"The minister said it directly, and the minister asked the king for two things.

First, after the surrendered team outside the city has screened the surrendered officers and family members, I also asked the king to issue an edict to appease the soldiers who came over and settle down, after all, this is the first time that our army has dealt with the surrendered troops of the Ming Dynasty, and the work can be reassured by being meticulous.

The second is that it has entered the winter, and there was a snowstorm before, and the problem of grain and grass has been agreed to be transported from China to alleviate the urgent need here.

However, the minister just saw that most of the people were still living in thatched huts with leaky wind, and the minister was really afraid that there would be another snowstorm and freeze all these people to death.

Therefore, please also ask the gentleman to help solve the problem of housing materials, otherwise Lushun will not be able to act as a bridgehead for the attack on Houjin, I am afraid that it may not even be able to hold on for a long time. โ€

Chen Xin nodded, "The matter of calming people's hearts is indeed to be done, here, from now on, it is an important base of our army, and it is also the first time to deal with the army of the Ming Dynasty, what you said is good, you should indeed do more meticulous work, very good, I will take the matter of issuing an edict to heart."

Well, there is also the matter of building materials, wellยทยทยทยทยทยท, there is still a part of the stock on the ship, which was prepared for the construction of barracks during the previous battle of the Daling River.

After a while, when the whole army has landed, it can be unloaded, and these things will be handed over to you, which will probably build a shelter that can be used as a means of pressing the bottom of the box against the blizzard.

It's just that the follow-up building materials are a little more troublesome, the building materials are already heavy, occupy space, and they are transported all the way, I'm afraid that a boat can't transport much. If you were to build a house for everyone in this city, the amount of things needed would be staggering. โ€

"Junshan, the minister would not expect to be able to build that kind of single-family house for the whole city, that is unrealistic, so the minister thinks that the area can be demarcated and a solid collective dormitory can be established as a guarantee for the local people to spend the winter.

When the subsequent disaster relief projects are launched and the army gathers to make the locals rich, they can move out and build their own independent houses. โ€

Chen Xin pondered for a moment, nodded and praised, "Your idea is very good, but it's still the same sentence, communicate more with domestic administrative talents, and many people are wise."

Also, I will arrange for a few local army leaders who have taken refuge in the former Daming Dongjiang Town, and I will arrange for them to go back to China and find something to do for them, and I won't let these people get in the way for you here. โ€

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

Chen Xin patted the other party's shoulder again, "In this special period of military management, you need to work harder, and when it is no longer the front line, you will be more relaxed." โ€

After the two finished talking, Zachdan went to get busy, and the masters who had been working in the adjutant general's mansion that he ordered to find had already arrived.

Chen Xin took a look at it curiously, and found that there was not a single map in such a large deputy general's mansion, and the study room was even more empty, and there was no half of a book.

Although there are more than a dozen literate people in the house, I asked roughly and found that they were all students who escaped from Liaodong, and they all came to feed this general as a copywriter, and basically they didn't have too much work experience.

Chen Xin watched Zachdan quickly devote himself to work, so he didn't bother here, turned around the vice general's mansion for a while, and then felt that after staying on the ship for so long, his body was a little rusty.

After doing a few stretching exercises and moving his hands and feet, Chen Xin shouted, "Adjutant." โ€

"Here!" Chen Xin's personal adjutant immediately answered loudly and ran out of the lobby.

?โ€œ Did the cavalry battalion disembark? โ€?

?โ€œ The report has just received the statistics table, and the people have come down from the transport ship, but until now, the horses have not come down. โ€?

Chen Xin frowned secretly, the efficiency of transporting cavalry was too low, a cavalry battalion only had more than five hundred horses in total, but it accounted for a quarter of the ships of the transport fleet.

Horses can only be tied to the deck, and because they are too smart and sensitive, these horses are extremely unsuitable for the environment at sea, and in the previous operation, after only five days of sailing, twenty percent of the horses were sick, and the rest were not in good condition and needed time to adjust.

Fortunately, this time I landed from the pier, but if it was a landing operation, I didn't think about it, and it was estimated that if I used a small boat to transfer it, it would definitely be a logistical disaster.

However, Chen Xin has no way, the landing of the vehicle, even in the later generations, in the 21st century before Chen Xin traveled, it is also something that only a few powerful countries in the world can play.

Even one of the five hooligans, the shame of the five permanent members of the United Nations, the already broken John Bull, can no longer handle this kind of thing.

Therefore, today, in the 17th century, Chen Xin can only sigh helplessly for this kind of thing, and then learn to adapt.

Since there were no horses, Chen Xin didn't plan to walk to see it, and now outside the city, it was not very peaceful, so he didn't worry about only taking the infantry out on patrol.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xin found that there was nothing to do, so he had to ask the adjutant, "Have the political commissars been dispatched?" โ€

The adjutant immediately replied, "They have all been sent out, and they have begun to preach the policy of our army in various parts of the city." โ€

Chen Xin nodded: "Zachdan is becoming more and more mature. I don't need to be reminded of this. Then, after a moment's thought, he asked? So, how did the infantry battalions that had given the task complete the work of taking over the city defense? โ€

?โ€œ The three infantry battalions that received the task have all disembarked, and they are assembling outside the Tongjin Gate, and they will soon enter the city and take over the city defense. โ€

??โ€œ Okay, let the other teams that are still on the ship speed up, let the horses of the cavalry battalion disembark first, and immediately after recovery, they will be the first to sentry in the direction of Jinzhou, we must take the lead. โ€
