Chapter 407: Political propaganda is effective, and people from Liaodong immigrate to southern Liaoning on a large scale!

After Zhang Haogu made a brief inspection, he was naturally very satisfied with the Dongjiang Army of 20,000 people.

At least I still have what I want to see.

Of the 20,000 Dongjiang Army, Zhang Haogu specially obtained 5,000 flintlock muskets. They were originally going to be transferred to Nanjing, but Zhang Haogu directly intercepted them.

First satisfy the Dongjiang Army, and then satisfy Nanjing.

Counting the previous ones, there are at least 6,000 flintlock muskets in Zhang Haogu's hands now, with ammunition starting at 300,000 rounds. There are also other arms. Although Zhang Haogu likes big bombs, but...

In this situation, it is impossible to be fully equipped with firearms.

However, even if they use cold weapons now, Zhang Haogu believes that they can definitely fight a head-on war with Jiannu.

After a simple review.

Zhang Haogu doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Training and ideological work are mainly handled by Sun Yuanhua. Although Yuan Chonghuan is the commander-in-chief, Sun Yuanhua is mainly responsible for the government affairs in the army. He is the supervisor of the army.

And Yuan Chonghuan also needs to participate in the training of the Dongjiang Army. He cannot be lenient to you just because of your special status.

You also need to understand this army very much. Otherwise, how can you command it well?

The next step is to have a meeting.

You also need to know about the problems encountered by the soldiers' committee, the problems encountered by the soldiers, and the various problems reported by military and political officials at all levels.

Yuan Chonghuan was also shocked.

It's not like I haven't led troops to fight before, but when did I need to know so much?

As a general and a superior, he actually needs to understand what the soldiers are thinking? Isn't this a joke? From the beginning to the end, he believed that as long as the money was in place, the Ming army would naturally display the combat effectiveness they should have.

But, obviously, Zhang Haogu doesn't think so.

This is true for the New Army, and it is also true for the current Dongjiang Army.

The core point is to understand why we need to fight.

Yuan Chonghuan participated in several grievance meetings. To be honest, Yuan Chonghuan really felt the same way. What kind of crouching dragons and phoenixes were these insects in the Ming Dynasty?

If you don’t give money to the front line, it will all be embezzled into your own pockets.

With the passage of time, Yuan Chonghuan's three views have also undergone many changes. In the past, he would have felt that a guy like Zhang Haogu was a bit too murderous. Now he feels that these bastards are...

.

If you don’t chop up these insects, how can Daming be cured? Not at all!

No wonder everyone is so devoted to Zhang Haogu, because Zhang Haogu is really willing to listen to their voices, and Zhang Haogu is also very willing to consider problems for them from their perspective.

At this time, Zhang Haogu also organized a high-level meeting.

The content to be discussed is, one is the construction of the farm, and another, more critical point, is the remaining Gaizhouwei and Haizhouwei, especially this Haizhouwei can still produce salt.

If the Gaizhou Guard and Haizhou Guard are taken down, it will be thought that this good ancient has basically locked up Liaonan, and can even be killed directly from the Liaonan Four Guards, giving Jiannu greater harassment.

Retaking the Four Guards of Liaonan has always been the plan of Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong.

However, 20,000 people wanted to recapture the Four Liaonan Guards, which was somewhat wishful thinking. Huang Taiji obviously knew the importance of Haizhou Guards and Gaizhou Guards, so he also stepped up his defense.

Although this mighty and invincible general cannon is extremely powerful, it is still okay for field battles. You cannot expect it to be the same as the real siege strategy of later generations.

It is still very difficult to conquer the city through frontal means.

Therefore, whether it is Zhang Haogu, Yuan Chonghuan, or Cheng Wenyun, they all chose the same method, political propaganda.

Zhang Haogu would definitely not be able to lead troops in war and make strategic plans.

Don't have this ability.

However, when it comes to strategic policies and political propaganda, this is what Zhang Haogu is best at.

Although there were not enough cadres under his command, Zhang Haogu quickly arranged for a group of political officers to quietly infiltrate the Gaizhou Guard and Haizhou Guard.

Carry out rectification and publicity to let people come to Liaonan to farm.

Now Huang Taiji is cleaning up the mess left by Nurhachi. At this stage, the entire Liaodong and Huang Taiji's regime are extremely difficult to deal with. Originally, Huang Taiji learned from Zhang Haogu to divide the land, and more or less gathered a lot of people.

However, if you backhand, Huang Taiji will give you a huge defeat in Ningyuan City.

This seriously shook Huang Taiji's prestige, and some Jurchen nobles took the opportunity to counterattack and took back the land that Huang Taiji had not easily given away.

And now, it is the harvest season for these farmers after planting. Is it okay to snatch food at this time?

Of course it doesn’t work!

The two sides fought fiercely. Although Huang Taiji eventually suppressed the internal rebellion, it still intensified the conflicts between the two sides.

Huang Taiji must have a good chat with Dorgon and Daishan, and no matter what, he must unite the fighting power of the Eight Banners, but Zhang Haogu will never give Huang Taiji any chance to win people's hearts.

We must take advantage of this opportunity to quickly capture the entire southern Liaoning and control the four southern Liaoning guards. By advancing in this way, we can spy on the central and eastern Liaoning areas, and by retreating, we can ensure that southern Liaoning is safe and sound.

As messages came back one after another, Zhang Haogu also presided over this meeting.

The human heart is available.

Nowadays, the life of the people in central Liaodong and Liaodong is extremely difficult. In addition to gathering intelligence, these spies also do political and ideological work. In addition to the Han people in Liaodong, they will also be Jurchens in the future. The Jurchens at the bottom are not living so well.

They are all targets of united warfare!

Cheng Wenyun was reporting the situation. During this period, their political propaganda work was very effective. More than 10,000 people from Haizhou Guard and Gaizhou Guard came to Liaonan.

"How is the situation of dividing the fields among this group of people handled?" Zhang Haogu asked.

"It has been properly arranged, but we still need a lot of food to settle these people. If we win the Haizhou Guard and Gaizhou Guard, there will be at least 100,000 people. This year is another disaster year, and we will have to wait until the beginning of spring.

, it’s not easy, besides!”

Cheng Wenyun paused: "What we have to endure is not just the beginning of spring, but before next autumn's harvest!"

"I asked Shandong to plant a large number of sweet potatoes. It will not be a problem to support it until the autumn harvest!" Zhang Haogu pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "The question I am more concerned about now is whether we can win the Haizhou Guard.

And Gaizhou Guard!"
