Lord of Ming Dynasty

Tong Dawei kowtowed, and then wanted to stand up. Suddenly, he turned around and said, "Great Governor, those confidant soldiers under him don't know how the Great Governor will arrange?"

Zhang Qiang said in a deep voice: "I won't treat them badly, and use them to the best of their abilities, but they have to be dispersed and assigned to various armies. Well, I will train like you first before I can use them. My Huaxia army is different from the Ming army. , you will know in the future, you go down with the captain of my personal guard team first."

"Yes, the governor." Tong Dawei exited the lobby of the government office where Zhang Qiang was.

At this time, Zhang Qiang hurriedly checked the system's evaluation of Tong Dawei's loyalty, "Loyalty is 90.00%90.00," um, yes, Zhang Qiang didn't want the system to turn people into people who are loyal to him 90.00%, after a long time, [-]%[-] is very It is almost [-]%, and this [-]% is the highest loyalty value in history, and those ministers have not reached [-].

Recovering a Tong Dawei is just doing what he wants, not what Zhang Qiang needs to do, the next thing Zhang Qiang needs to do is the big thing.

Next, if the Huaxia Army's attack goes smoothly, its own Huaxia Army will own the territory of the three southeastern provinces, and even some more, such as Jinling in Suzhou, Nanchang in Jiangxi, Jiujiang, and Guangzhou in Guangdong. In later generations, the big cities, state capitals, rich lands, or political and strategic centers, the Huaxia Army's possession of these places will mark that the Huaxia Army has changed from a rebel army that has been under the Longwu Nanming regime to a real one. The feudal separatist warlord regime.

This is a great progress in history and a milestone in the history of human progress. It is a great victory for the traversers who invaded the historical world, and it is worth celebrating.

"Crack—" The door of the lobby was pushed open again.

You Haibo and Milin appeared in the lobby, and the people behind were holding several thick ledgers.

Zhang Qiang knew that apart from the expansion of the territory and the defeat of hundreds of thousands of Qing troops, this war must have gained a lot.

Chapter 329 Taking stock of gains and losses

"This time, 36 enemy 110-jin red-clothed cannons were seized, 21 120-jin red-clothed cannons were seized, 110 39-jin red-clothed cannons were seized, 50 red-clothed cannons were exploded, and 36-jin red-clothed cannons were seized. 223 cannons, bombed, 330 damaged red cannons, 22 10-jin Fran cannons seized, damaged, [-] bombed, [-] [-]-jin tiger squatting guns, [-] damaged bombs, A total of [-] catties of iron and [-] catties of copper."

After finishing speaking, You Haibo said to Zhang Qiang: "Commander, after this war, we won't have to worry about iron and copper materials for a year, and we can make more farm tools, weapons, and armor."

Zhang Qiang smiled and pushed him, "Don't be too happy, those cannons are very heavy, how do you pull them back, and those cannons need to be smelted first. Generally, it doesn't take much effort to smelt iron, but The whole cannon refinement requires a lot of firewood and coal, and we don't have that technology yet.

It is necessary to have these cannons smashed into scrap iron, and then put them into the blast furnace for several procedures. "

You Haibo said with a smile: "Commander, I have some good news for you. Your Excellency, Sebastian, has achieved great results. I heard that many different furnaces, called hot blast furnaces, have been repaired, which have directly improved the level of steel refining. With high temperature and efficiency, it is faster to smelt a batch of molten steel than before, saving more time and materials.”

"Hahaha, okay, I didn't expect that when I was busy fighting and expanding the territory these days, those technicians were not idle. It seems that our Huaxia Army still has a positive atmosphere!"

You Haibo said: "Yes, Commander, the whole territory is constructing our home in full swing."

"Okay, not bad, then report." Zhang Qiang said to You Haibo.

"Well, this is about the capture of the enemy's cannon, and then the capture of the enemy's arquebus, the perfect matchlock, also called a shotgun by the enemy, two meters long, with a range of 110 meters, and an effective range of 70 meters, and today's The same quality and combat power of the bows and arrows are slightly worse than our Jinkai 1 matchlock gun in terms of technical indicators."

I took a closer look, "The quality is more than double that of the firecrackers of the Ming army. There are very few blasters. They can fire more than 510 rounds continuously without blowing up. The batch of captured guns is about 320 rods." , 490% of the new 200 strokes in the old city, [-]% of the new [-] strokes, [-]% of the new [-]-plus strokes, and the quality of the remaining [-]-odd strokes is worrying.”

"First put the numbers in the warehouse, and when you have a chance to find a good buyer, sell them." This is Zhang Qiang's usual method of dealing with enemy weapons.

You Haibo bowed, expressing his agreement with Zhang Qiang's handling method, and then continued: "The other seized shotguns are unusable, about [-] rods, and other Ming army guns, about [-] rods, have been put into storage. Most of the more than [-] rods were damaged or unusable, and these unusable ones have been sent to the gun dismantling factory for dismantling, the wood is used as firewood, the iron materials are sent to the iron factory for iron refining, and other things are used for best use."

"Well, what other weapons were seized, pick some good quality ones, [-]% of the new ones will be distributed to the newly formed Fujian militia and village guards, and establish the regime as soon as possible. You Haibo and He Jin are fighting on the front line. You On the one hand, you are the Minister of Education and Political Affairs, and on the other hand, you are running this place in Fujian, and you are the highest governor here, understand?"

You Haibo hastily bowed and said, "Thank you for your trust, Commander-in-Chief. I will do my best to restore the stability of Fujian Province and make Fujian Province prosperous."

Zhang Qiang nodded slightly to signal him to continue reporting.

You Haibo had a smile on his face, and the report was even faster. This was the first time Zhang Qiang appointed a governor. Previously, because the Huaxia Army had a small territory, there were only governors at the prefect level, and there was only one division of core areas and non-core areas. , This time, the entire territory of Fujian is about to be liberated, and Zhang Qiang appointed You Haibo as the first governor of Fujian.

Can he not be happy that the powerful frontier official, the first frontier official of the Huaxia Army, was born, and he, You Haibo, was the first to pick peaches?

As a result, the voice of the next report became louder, cadenced, almost turning a report into a poetry recitation, which made Zhang Qiang almost unable to keep up with his rhythm and train of thought.

"Seized 320 million taels of silver, 1 taels of gold, jewelry agate, jewelry valuation 1000 million taels, calligraphy and painting, antiques valuation 3000 million taels, grain 150 million shi, horse feed 300 million dans, salt 25 dans, iron materials, 450 The total value of various goods was 25 million taels of silver. More than 150 enemy warships were seized, 23 fishing boats were seized, 50 traitors including Shang Kexi were captured, and [-] generals of the Qing army were captured, including [-] generals of the Manchus. , [-] Mongolian generals, [-] Han Banner generals, and countless green battalion generals.”

"Also..." He looked up at Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang turned his head to look at him, You Haibo lowered his head and continued to read: "The general of the Manchu Qing clan was captured, the general of the Qing army in the Southern Expedition, Boluo Belle, died of serious injuries .”

Zhang Qiang patted the table, "Damn it, it's cheap. He was wounded once and escaped. This time he was wounded and died. The blood debt of tens of thousands of people in Jinhua was easily escaped by him just like that. Have you caught that old thief Hong Chengchou?"

You Haibo flipped through the account book and shook his head, "No, it is said that General Huang Tao is going deep into the territory of the Qing army and catching up quickly."

Zhang Qiang stood up and said to the guards: "Come here, send someone to chase Huang Tao quickly, let him retreat, and go deep alone. Once I fall into the scheme of the old thief Hong Chengchou, won't I lose my troops and generals? Return to the south bank of the Yangtze River and rectify the troops. In the future, we will fight the Qing army again, this time the battle is over."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qiang came to the desk, wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, "Go, hand it over to Master Mi Lin, and let him deal with it."

The report work was long and boring, and Milin still had a lot of things to do, so he took care of things first. Zhang Qiang could only pass on the news to him through letters, and he couldn't tell Milin to contact Tian Bin in front of so many people. Didn't that expose Tian Bin?

What Zhang Qiang was thinking about was Tian Bin who had penetrated into the enemy's interior. There was no news of Tian Bin yet, so he must have escaped with the enemy and continued to lurk inside the enemy.

This line cannot be broken.

After finishing the arrangement, Zhang Qiang said to You Haibo, "Continue."

You Haibo continued to read: "The capture of [-] enemy horses this time made up for the shortage of our army's horses. Our army lost about [-] horses before, and the horse farm left by the Chahar Mongols was insufficient. , Now there are about [-] war horses, but most of them are war horses that have just grown up in recent years. They are young and not trained enough to be used as mounts for cavalry. The [-] horses captured by the enemy earlier are available, and the rest of the horses are in Lord Wei Wuji's army."

"Hasn't this year's war horse from Mongolia been delivered yet?" Zhang Qiang asked.

You Haibo put down the ledger, "My lord, the war horses have been transported from Mongolia for thousands of miles. They have to pass through many enemy areas, many war-torn areas, and many no-man's lands. Although there are contact points and caravan stations established by Huang Tao, they can Relay, but there are still [-]/[-] losses of horses. This time, all the horses were forcibly conscripted by the Qing army on the road. In the future, the Qing army, which is across the river, will not allow our army to obtain horses, and it will be even more difficult. .”

Zhang Qiang rubbed his forehead, "Forget it, getting such a large territory this time, and the territory of two new provinces, can be regarded as making up for our shortcomings. The horses are drawn slowly, don't worry, the current horses are enough, and we will add six new cavalry in the future brigade, a total of ten cavalry brigades, one field brigade and one cavalry brigade in each important direction, enough to give the Qing army a headache."

Picking up the teacup beside him, he took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. Zhang Qiang continued: "As time goes on, each cavalry brigade of our army has no more than [-] war horses, and each army has at most [-] war horses. Look, they can still be supplied, but the defense is more than sufficient, and the offense is insufficient. Most of the Mongols and the Qing army have one man with two horses, or one man with three horses. longer and shorter."

"Go on," Zhang Qiang sat down, and before You Haibo could speak, Zhang Qiang continued, "He ordered Zhang Mingzhen to wait for the end of the Jinling Campaign. He, the Minister of Agriculture, will set up livestock farms in the entire territory and encourage every household to raise horses and cattle." , sheep, increase the number of rough horses and pack horses in our army. If our army wants to march long in the future, we must have a large number of rough horses and pack horses to transport supplies. Our army is a semi-gunned army, and it is very dependent on the supply of ammunition and other materials. So more of these horses are needed, and those poor horses that can't be ridden can also be used to transport supplies. Make the best use of everything!"

"Your Excellency is wise." You Haibo looked at Zhang Qiang's face with admiration, foresighted, and followed the Ming Lord.

After Zhang Qiang signaled again and again, he continued to preach: "Our army captured 7 enemy green battalion soldiers, of which 5 were wounded; the Han Army Banner 7000, of which 8000 were wounded; Thousands of wounded, [-] Manchu Tartars, of whom [-] were wounded, and another [-] civilians were captured, of which [-] were wounded and sick, [-] were old and weak, and [-] were veterans of the Ming army."

Zhang Qiang smiled wryly, Hong Chengchou was really not a worry-free person, he threw all the burden and drag on himself, and then escaped by himself.

With so many wounded, old and weak, it is definitely a burden for the Huaxia Army.

What's more, this time Zhang Qiang's own Huaxia Army has dispatched 12 troops, and the militiamen and civilian husbands have also reached 8. His own losses, since this morning, he has obtained a rough statistics, the militiamen were killed and injured 4 The infantry, musketeers, and artillery of the Huaxia Army killed and injured 3 people, while the cavalry lost 7000 and wounded 2000. It doesn't mean that the cavalry has fewer casualties, because these cavalry are fighting the enemy on a tragic battlefield , less than 30.00% of the total casualties were wounded who could escape, and the others either died in battle or were killed after being captured by the enemy.

Fighting in high-speed movement, the cavalry has no chance to deal with the wounded and rescue the captives. The enemy's cavalry is more powerful than them.

"All the wounded are resettled on the spot, and we send out soldiers to educate them, let our wounded mix with them, bring the old with the new, and when they recover, the wounded who can return to the army will return, or wait for the newly formed army to be formed. They were compiled, and those who did not repent were sent to prisoner camps, and those Manchus and Mongols were sent to hard labor camps. The cunning, generals and soldiers of the Han army banner and green camp who had committed serious crimes were also sent to hard labor camps, where they worked to death .”

You Haibo said: "This time our army almost killed nearly 30 enemies and captured about 8 people. The enemy escaped only [-] to [-] people. I think it was a frightened bird. There are many people who can't be reused in the future. This is a big battle. In the decisive battle, our army will face less pressure in the future, and the Qing army will weigh whether it can bear such a loss again."

After finishing speaking, he and Zhang Qiang looked at each other, and the two raised their heads and laughed together.

3 Chapter Thirty

After dealing with all kinds of captures, Zhang Qiang found that this time he not only wiped out nearly 15 enemy troops, but also captured 10,000+ troops and defeated the enemy's 10,000+ troops. The generals couldn't hide their joy in the eyes.

The Qing army suppressed the grief and indignation and helplessness of the Ming army for a long time. Even the Huaxia army who had been winning battles once had all kinds of worries and bewilderment about tomorrow in their hearts. Now, there are no more.

There were thunderous cheers and joyous smiles. Even the common people who suffered the same heavy losses took the cattle, sheep, silver, and gold Huayuan that the Huaxia Army compensated them, and returned one after another under the escort of the militiamen outside the core area of ​​the Huaxia Army. My own homeland, under the arrangement of officials trained by the newly appointed Huaxia Army, rebuild my own homeland.

You Haibo has already rushed to Fujian Province to re-plan the civil affairs there to cooperate with He Jin's army's advance.

As the deputy prime minister, Mi Chun followed him to Raozhou Prefecture. After paying a visit to him, he was sent to Jiangxi Prefecture by Zhang Qiang, and concurrently served as the governor of Jiangxi Prefecture. According to the latest information, the Qing army in Nanchang has been wiped out, or fled on the lookout. The entire Nanchang Mansion has been pacified and has fallen into the hands of the Huaxia Army. Liu Liangzuo and Brother Zhu continue to attack Jiujiang Mansion. Wherever they take it, Jiangxi will be fully restored.
