Chapter 598: Stabilize the people's hearts

In the middle of the night, the Puheshou became a sea of ​​fire. The general of Liao Town led 5,000 personal soldiers to escape from the south gate of Puheshou on horseback. Tens of thousands of troops were dispersed within three days. The large and small groups of Huazhou cavalry swam between Tielingwei and Puhe. If someone in the Ming army tried to gather the troops, they would be attacked resolutely. If the weapons were put down, no one would pay attention to it. Huazhou invaded Liao Town, and the war was initiated to end. In just two months, the Ming army in Liao Town, which had been peaceful for a long time, was not mentally prepared for war and death.

Therefore, under the fierce and changing offensive of Huazhou, the Ming army, which seemed to be crowded and powerful, quickly collapsed. In the situation on the battlefield, the Liao Zhen soldiers could only be said to be defeated, not defeated, but Jiang Feng used his next technique quite cleverly, allowing a large number of cavalry to divide into multiple groups. Relying on the advanced weapons and abundant horsepower, he continued to attack and harass the retreating Liao Zhen Ming army.

In the battlefield in front of Fan He, Huazhou defeated the Ming army without doing his best. If it was to be wiped out completely, it would definitely not be this method. Jiang Feng and his generals combined to break up the Ming army as much as possible. If the Ming army was defeated in the regular battle, it would not be worth worrying.

Sima, who is under the Governor's Office in Huazhou, also engaged in personal military camps and even chambers of commerce. All kinds of useful intelligence analysis were used. The conclusion was that the Ming army had been in peace for a long time, and suppressing the peasant army might still have some effect, but it may not have any ability in the battle with the large army.

The biggest possibility is to start working hard and think that they are the strong soldiers in the world, but once they are frustrated, they will be in a state of confusion and cannot support them. Those military households who are more accustomed to holding hoes than knives and guns have long been rotten. They just have the courage to fight and hurt them hard and give them a way out. They will not even rise up and resist, but will only go home and farm peacefully.

Of course, Huazhou is the armed force of the Han people, which is also an important point. If the Mongols invade, even the cowardly Han peasants and even Han slave workers will rise up and resist and never die, because this is a disaster for people and will not treat Han people as animals.

After Fan He was defeated, the army retreated. If the Huazhou army was suppressed at that time, it would be impossible to completely annihilate it. However, if the young and strong soldiers in the entire Liao Town were too seriously injured, their families and relatives would definitely be deeply despised for the Huazhou army. Even if it was a Han army, it would take a lot of effort to calm down in this place.

If the Ming army was defeated in this battle, in order to preserve the troops returning to Shenyang, Liaoyang would inevitably retreat. When retreating, the morale of these soldiers who had no war experience would inevitably be extremely low. Huazhou used a large number of cavalry to harass him and detached in batches, like a group of wolves hunting, constantly tearing off his flesh from large prey, causing him to bleed and become weak, and finally causing him to fall to the ground weakly.

Such a tactic is indeed miraculous. The repeated impacts made the Ming army exhausted. They were ready to rest but had nowhere to rest. They could only continue to rush towards Puhesou. At Puhesou, the Huazhou military arrived at the Puhesou, fired rockets into the castle with a large bow, disturbing the Ming army.

According to Jiang Feng's prediction, the Ming army should have been panicked and restless at this time. On the next day, several cavalry were harassed on the road. However, Jiang Feng found that he had overestimated the Ming army. The rockets shot into Puhe became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

At that time, Li Gufeng, the general of Liao Town, could no longer control the army except his own soldiers. He concentrated all the horses in the hands of his own soldiers and placed them in the south gate, which showed that he did not want to control the army anymore. The city started to be in chaos.

The general Li Gufeng, who had already prepared, fled directly from the south gate with his men. Without the commander, the rest of the Ming army was like a headless fly. Naturally, the soldiers were unwilling to be so worried. They didn't know when they died, and they all scattered. After many people threw down their weapons, they returned to their own garrison farms.

Most of the scattered Liaozhen Ming army were completely scared by this war. After returning to their place of residence, no one was willing to join the army and farm at home. In the Liaozhen area north of Shenyang, under the propaganda and pacification of Huazhou cavalry and surrendered general Qiu Feng, they quickly settled down. As soon as they put down their weapons, the vicious Huazhou soldiers would not cause trouble for themselves. The garrisons, thousand households and fortresses that were originally scattered in Liaodong and western Liaoning were transformed into so-called farms.

In just half a month north of Shenyang, it became completely without military households, and all of them were farms. At the beginning, when Huazhou sent people to surrender, it still relied on the surrendered troops led by Qiu Feng and the regular troops of Huazhou. Later, there was no resistance at all in each garrison, Thousand Houses and Houses of each garrison.

The Huazhou Army simply did not participate in the work of accepting surrender, but directly pushed forward. A large number of regiments from the Northern Prefecture outside the pass began to enter Liao Town to maintain public order and accept surrender.

At this time, many interesting things happened, such as the Five Hundred Regiment Training Group was ordered to go to a place to surrender. After setting off, their Regiment Training Group found that it was not the Hundred Houses, but the Thousand Houses. They were immediately killed and led the cavalry to chase after him, for fear that these Regiment Training Groups would be harmed by the other party, and their heads would not be able to be saved by then.

Who would have thought that halfway through, they met those troupes. They came back happily. It turned out that before they arrived at the Qianhu Office, the people from Qianhu Office came out to wait with the swords and guns of the entire Qianhu Office. They did not regret the weapons they handed over and ensured that there were no remaining weapons here. They also led these troupes into the search.

The five hundred regiments were also trembling, fearing that they would be plotted by the people of the Thousand Houses. However, from beginning to end, although they were wary of it, the people from top to bottom of the Thousand Houses were extremely enthusiastic and polite. After being sent out in the end, they realized that their surrender had been successfully completed.

Most of the other surrenders were the same. They were both Han people, so there was no need to use swords and guns. The other party was so strong but did not do things that were harmful to the barbarians, so there was no need to resist.

Every time a land is recovered, what Huazhou has to do is measure the land, register and have a policy, which is the tax policy of the three people and the seven people, pay in kind, no fire consumption, no other fees.

The garrisons of the Ming Dynasty were actually the fields of the Ming Dynasty's officials. The annual land tax paid reached more than 30% of the Ming Dynasty's land tax plate at the peak. When military households farmed, they often bear taxes similar to those of rural tenants. This is extremely hard and there is no time to train. In short, the land tax they paid every year is nominally 30% as stated in Hua's policy this time.

However, fire consumption and other things, the Ming Dynasty's tax styles were superimposed, and many military households had to trade more than half of their harvest in a year. It would be difficult to live a better life. The reason why the situation in Liao Town is stronger than other ward stations is that Liao Town is vast and sparsely populated. The military households cultivated more land and harvested more, and the more they kept in their hands.

Whenever Huazhou surrenders to a place where he goes, in addition to fully armed soldiers and regiment training, there are also receipts and expenditure documents and agricultural officials who announce policies. Every time he goes to, he measures the land and redistributes it. The land in each place is distributed evenly in the hands of everyone, which is why it is evenly distributed.

That is because every garrison, thousand households and fortress cultivated land has so-called public fields. In addition to building city defense fortifications and training and service, military households also cultivate public fields. This work is completely obligatory and the harvest is completely handed over.

The harvest of public fields did not literally reach the warehouses of the Ming Dynasty and the government. These public fields were actually private fields of the generals and deputy generals of Liao Town. These senior generals and officials got their due part of the public fields at their own level.

This is also how many servants and personal soldiers around the generals of Liao Town can have such a large number of thousands of people because Liao Town has such an income.

These fields are often closest to the garrison, Qianhu Shou and fortress, closest to the water source, the most fertile land, and the best fields are public fields. The generals of Liao Town and officers at all levels are landlords from large to small. There is no friendship between landlords and tenants, and tenants always have resentment towards the landlords.

Huazhou distributed these public fields to the hands of local military households and determined the proportion of land tax, which was equivalent to giving them a great benefit at once. Everyone had more good land in their hands and had to pay less taxes. The benefits were the most realistic, and the fearful people suddenly turned around. But these benefits could only be given by Huazhou, and only by the policy of governor Hua Changsheng, these policies could last forever.

Before we knew it, the Liao Town military households began to look forward to the long victory of the Huazhou army. Of course, the policies of Huazhou cannot always focus on recruiting and pacifying. Each thousand households draw hundreds of people. The original thousand households and officers at all levels will take their own personal military families to accept the re-engineering of Huazhou and turn them into regiment training.

However, if you cannot stay in the local area, you need to leave your original resident for 200 miles. In addition, the number of people from outside the pass and from Liao Town must be half and half. The delegation envoy is an old citizen of Huazhou outside the pass and the deputy envoy is a Liao citizen of Liao Town.

In front was the army of Huazhou slowly advancing, and behind was the implementation of Huazhou's pacification policy one by one. More than half of the chassis of Liao Town was firmly controlled by Huazhou.
