Lord of Ming Dynasty

The 6th Field Brigade was transferred to Wenzhou Prefecture, preparing to reinforce Zhou Porridge and others with the Fourth Fleet in Kinmen, Xiamen and other places.

After this arrangement, part of Wei Wuji's army stayed behind to stabilize Shaoxing Mansion, and then transferred back to Jinhua Mansion for reorganization.

The Milin Department also transferred elite personnel back to accept reorganization.

The next step is the garrisons of Taizhou Prefecture and Wenzhou Prefecture, and the remaining elite garrisons of Chuzhou Prefecture will be transferred back for reorganization.

The reorganized 7th, 8th, and 9th brigades will serve as the main offensive force to launch a new offensive against the Qing army.

The imitation matchlock guns, in terms of quality, range, and power, can only reach 70.00% to [-]% of the matchlock guns of the Huaxia Army.

In terms of quality, it is not as durable as Huaxia Army’s Jinkai Type 1 matchlock gun. Every time you shoot 1 shots, you have to wipe the barrel with a damp cloth, otherwise it is unusable. After a while of air cooling, you can continue to use it slowly.

Maybe actually on the battlefield, especially in the field, if a soldier can't fire so many guns, he either dies or has to charge, or fight with the enemy's cold-armed infantry, or retreat to the rear, and let the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers go to fight. , but if you can fire a few more shots than the enemy, you will definitely have a better chance of winning.One of the firearms battalions is the musket battalion, and the other is the artillery battalion.

In this way, the troops guarding the river bank, the patrol battalions guarding various places, and the logistics town were discarded. In fact, the Qing army could use 28 troops for attack.

Although it is several times more than the total force that the Huaxia Army can use, the muskets they use are said to be imitations of the Huaxia Army's Jinkai 1-style arquebus.

Chapter 357 Report 3

"Brother Zhu's cavalry brigade has occupied Yuezhou Prefecture and pushed the battle line into the territory of Huguang Province. The Qing army of Jierhalang has reached Baoqing Prefecture and Tongren Prefecture, where they met Li Guo's Loyalty Camp. There were constant battles between the two prefectures. Mang Gurtai bypassed the two prefectures and headed resolutely towards Guilin Mansion. On the way, he fought several battles with Chen Youzheng's anti-reverse army and Duyinxi's Ming army. The two Ming armies were defeated. , retreated."

Mi Chun did not talk about the civil affairs situation in Jiangxi Prefecture, but reported the combat situation of the cavalry brigade led by Brother Zhu in Jiangxi, and the situation of the two troops of the prince's clan of the Qing army who were transferred to Guangxi Prefecture.

Zhang Qiang knocked on the table and said in a low voice: "This is not the time to attack. You can't run too fast. If the enemy seizes the opportunity and attacks from the north and the south, he will become a lone army. You told him to withdraw. Is it about defending Jiujiang?"

Mi Chun shook his head, and said helplessly: "Admiral Liu Liangzuo supports his actions. As a civil official in charge of civil affairs, I have no right to interfere with the actions of generals. After all, we are not the Ming army, and we are not led by civilian officials. Civil officials are superior to military generals. We are a regime of equal relations between civil servants and generals."

Zhang Qiang frowned. He was really afraid that Brother Zhu, a lone army, would be wiped out by the Qing army, and Huguang was too complicated. The army, the rebel army, criss-crossed, the situation is very complicated, where the relationship is not easy to handle, but Liu Liangzuo supports Brother Zhu, Zhang Qiang has nothing to say, after all, Liu Liangzuo is in charge.

If Zhang Qiang wants to adjust, he has to negotiate with Wei Wuji. I don’t know if Wei Wuji knew about this matter or not, what he did to deal with it. The situation in Jinling Mansion is quite tense now, and Wei Wuji can’t leave. Zhang Liang is negotiating with Hong Chengchou to exchange prisoners things.

"When you go back, bring an order back, let Liu Liangzuo calm down, don't push Brother Zhu to attack the Qing army, now it's time for us to develop with peace of mind, let Brother Zhu's cavalry brigade retreat to Yuezhou Mansion, and just defend Yuezhou Mansion , when you have nothing to do, go and wipe out the surrounding water bandits, thieves and so on."

Zhang Qiang raised his head and said to Mi Chun.

"Yes, Governor," Mi Chun replied respectfully.

"How are you doing in civil affairs?" After asking these questions, Zhang Qiang changed the topic to civil affairs. After all, Mi Chun is the state official in charge of civil affairs.

"Great Governor, it's like this. Due to years of wars, there are many barren land and abandoned fields in Jiangxi Prefecture. Commanding the garrison and the militia to suppress bandits, and gathering the defeated remnants of the enemy, at present, it is only the restoration of government operations in some places, and the mode is still the same as that of Longwu Nanming." Mi Chun said very disturbed.

Zhang Qiang stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling him not to panic, "It's just like I thought, you can do this, and I'm very pleased that you put this in the first place. It's better to deal with the outside than to settle the inside, and you have sorted out the inside. Only then can we concentrate on attacking the enemy, or improving people's livelihood, and there is not much to do."

Mi Chun's relaxed look was completely different from the slightly restrained look just now.

"So when will this situation be alleviated, and start to develop the economy and create tax revenue?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Mi Chun hurriedly flipped through the documents, coughed, moved his body a few times, and replied: "Governor, although there is still some chaos in various places, there are frequent incidents of attacking the government, robbing the transport team, and escorting the captive officers and soldiers. But in general, the situation is developing in the expected direction, the various government offices are barely operating, and the passing people from all over the place are beginning to return to their homes, the population loss is not large, but there are signs of growth."

"Oh," Zhang Qiang became interested, sat up straight, and looked at him.

"Yes, after the chaos, the place became stable, and our work of suppressing the bandits was in full swing. Seeing this situation, the people in many places returned to their homes spontaneously, and brought the hearts of the people from other places to Daming, my minister. Arrange militia for a village, a village guard, and form a village guard. The cavalry of the garrison patrols the territory under its jurisdiction, so that villages, townships, towns, counties, prefectures and other crowded places cannot be approached by bandits, and they can only hide in the mountains, or Some remote places caused chaos, or robbed places in the middle of the road that the soldiers could not take care of."

Zhang Qiang suddenly interrupted Mi Chun's report, "Now the government has counted the population, that is, the population of the common people that we put the household registration on and carry out joint insurance."

Mi Chun quickly flipped through the information a few times, pressed the information with his fingers, and took a closer look, "About 450 million people, growing at a rate of 20 people every week. In the long run, the increasing population has gradually declined, and It tends to be stable, but every week, or more, about half a month, it is estimated that there will be a population increase of 1 people. Maybe after this year, the population growth will decline, or there will be repetitions, but it will not Population growth of more than 2 people per month."

"How about taxes?" Zhang Qiang asked again.

Mi Chun replied: "At present, taxes are still collected in the former Nanming taxation method, but I have reduced and exempted some unnecessary extras, and only collected land tax and corvee tax. Most of these are paid in kind, and a few are paid in silver. Since it is not a core area, the Jinhua Yuan cannot be implemented yet, and taxes can only be collected in silver taels.”

"What about the taxation of merchants?"

Zhang Qiang asked.

"This is of little significance at the moment. Many merchants do not come here to trade. Some small merchants, such as those who sell needles and thread, sell some local products, mountain people and other common people are doing business, and there are some traders who traffic in private salt. However, most of these traders do not pay taxes, and they are a major hazard in the territory. It is necessary to dispatch garrison troops to repel them or annihilate them. Selling it to the people at a low price has become the most valuable thing to appease the people, and its meaning is even better than silver taels or other valuable items.”

Zhang Qiang looked helpless. Yinliang and Jinhuayuan were squeezed out of the currency circulation field. How primitive is this? With barter and private salt serving as currency, it seems that Jiangxi Prefecture has fallen behind a lot.

"Reverse this situation as soon as possible. Jinhua yuan is used as the internal currency. Some good things, such as sugar, silk, cloth, horses, and the cigarettes and alcohol we produce, have risen to controlled items. You can't buy them without Jinhua yuan. I realized that these items can only be circulated internally and cannot be sold to outsiders, and the same is true for the common people, they cannot be given to them, and silver taels and other goods are not accepted for trading, only Jinhua Yuan can be used." Zhang Qiang ordered.

Mi Chun looked puzzled and looked at Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang didn't want to explain either, it didn't make sense, and he didn't have the eloquence to explain the principle of the method he said, so he could only let Mi Chun implement it.

In fact, this is very simple. People in later generations will understand that the more they can't get it, the more people want to get it. Internal circulation can only use Jinhua yuan for transactions. This is to make the people outside eager to get Jinhua yuan, because only These can buy all the items and luxuries they need, so that it is much better for them to accept it actively than to force them to accept it passively.

Chapter 358 Report 4

Facing Mi Chun's puzzled face, Zhang Qiang smiled and said: "You just do it, I believe that the people will take the initiative to ask for Jinhua Yuan soon, and when the time comes to promote it step by step, the Jinhua Yuan in their hands will be Gradually, there will be more and more, without Jinhuayuan in the future, they will not be able to buy things, only with Jinhuayuan can they buy what they need, only the special products we have, so the promotion of our Jinhuayuan will be much better.”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the decision of the Commander-in-Chief is the decision of the heavens. It must have a certain deep meaning. I dare not guess randomly." Mi Chun said respectfully.

"Haha, Mi Chun, when did you become so respectful? Where is your motivation to refuse to admit defeat? Where did you go? I hope that although you have become a civil servant, you still have the blood and drive of a general. Your blood was consumed by the weakness of civil servants."

"Yes, yes, the governor, I will understand at the end." Mi Chun laughed.

"Great Governor, although Jiangxi Prefecture is in such a mess, Jiangxi Prefecture is not short of wealth. The villages and landlords' manors that were broken against us are richer than the other. They have gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and even weapons and muskets. , artillery, and everything is very valuable, and each landlord’s manor can have at least 20 silver taels of items or silver.”

"Oh, Jiangxi Prefecture is so rich?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"That's right. Compared with Fujian Province, which is poor in mountains and rivers and is located by the sea, Jiangxi Prefecture can be said to hide wealth from the people and have rich products. The reason why I seized the matter of suppressing bandits and made a big deal of it is because of this. It is profitable. So far, Jiangxi Prefecture has confiscated 800 million taels of silver, 1000 million worth of private salt, 500 million worth of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, 2000 million worth of other goods and agricultural products, especially grain, several hundred Thousands of tons, enough to feed the current 450 million people for more than a year." Mi Chun quickly reported to Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang said bluntly: "Where is the 200 million dan of food distributed to You Haibo in Fujian Province, where there is still need to support the garrison of Guangzhou Prefecture, and also need to stabilize the villagers and feed the militia team of 10,000+, the burden is not small. The villagers in Fujian I went to sea during the war, and was taken to Treasure Island by Zheng Chenggong. Many people went to Nanyang and other places to survive. The fields produced too little, and most of them were fishermen, bandits, and pirates. They needed to allocate food from the core area. , and the food production in the core area is also limited, and it needs to feed nearly 500 million people, or even more millions of people in the newly occupied areas, the burden is heavy."

Mi Chun looked at Zhang Qiang, very surprised, Zhang Qiang smiled awkwardly: "There are so many things, of course we have to balance and deploy them, we are a country, the Huaxia Army, not the vassal local governments of various parts of Ming Dynasty in the past, we are a whole ,Yes or no?"

With a sad face, Mi Chun wailed and said: "Great governor, the villain is suffering. This hard-working person doesn't dare to sleep too much every day. He just made some achievements. He wanted you to praise and reward him. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be you." Treating the villain like this, the villain really feels the sky is spinning, the thunder is rolling above his head, it snows in June, and it rains heavily in September."
