Three hundred and sixtieth IX sharpening the knife to the cattle and sheep (1)
On the third day of September, Dayong agreed to match more than 8,000 returnable women in the city with the young men in the field. Of course, the premise was that the women were willing. This policy won the unanimous support of the young men in the field. Of course, compared with the size of the Jinzhou army,
There is no wedding to speak of in the grand mass wedding.
There were no matchmakers, no betrothal gifts, no firecrackers, no banquets, just silent expectations. Everything was very low-key, except that every day carriages carrying women carrying very few clothes were carried to various health clinics.
There is no big movement anymore. But I doubt that this is good governance, great good governance, and its impact is no less than that of Dayong’s resettlement of disaster victims.
Under Dayong's urging, everything in Dengzhou City has gradually gotten back on track. Although the population is not large, the city has regained some vitality. People who used to do small business have also appeared on the streets, and businessmen from other places have heard that
Dengzhou has settled down and is bold enough to do business here. Although most of the original shops in the market are still closed, there are still a few shops that have reopened with the support of the government.
The temporary Dengzhou government really helped Dayong a lot. Dayong also appreciated Song Guanglan and the others more and more, and had sent people to Beijing more than once to inquire about the court's handling of these demoted officials.
There are many real estates in the city. Dengzhou is the headquarters of Denglai Governor's Yamen and an important military town. Before the rebellion, Dengzhou City was the largest city on the coast of Shandong. When Sun Yuanhua was the governor, there were more than 40,000 troops stationed there.
, there will be very few shops in this city?[
After inspecting two streets accompanied by Song Guanglan and others, Dayong became more and more reluctant to give up Dengzhou. As long as the population increased, this city was undoubtedly a treasure trove for the Jinzhou Army. Not to mention anything else, just selling and renting out those shops could
Provide Dayong with a considerable amount of military pay. Moreover, the city wall of Dengzhou is really tall and might even be compared with the provincial capitals of other provinces. With this strong city as a solid base, it is no better than Jinzhou, a dangerous place where there is no way to advance or retreat.
.
What should I do to get the imperial court to hand Dengzhou into my hands? At some point, Dayong suddenly had this thought that he shouldn't have had.
………
In view of the fact that both parents died during the war and there were too many orphans, Dayong ordered Dengzhou to build an orphanage. Other orphan care places in the Ming Dynasty were usually in temples, and occasionally wealthy families donated their houses to provide for orphans.
Where they live, whether in temples or other places, the local government will hire teachers to teach these orphans and teach them reading and literacy. If any of the orphans can pass the exam to become a scholar, it is a sign of meritorious education by the local officials. If they can pass the exam, they can even pass the exam.
Jinshi and his younger brother, then the reputation of this local official will be famous all over the world. Not only will his official career be smooth, he will also have to leave his name in the history, and at worst, he will leave a strong mark in the local annals.
As usual, Song Guanglan and others planned to hire tutors for these hundreds of orphans. Dayong also agreed. His current struggle is for the next generation of the Ming Dynasty. It is definitely a great merit for children to be able to read and write. However, he made other arrangements.
Several wolf cavalrymen who were injured and unable to ride came to the orphanage to be the children's instructors. In addition to some military training in the army, they also had to teach them the use of firecrackers, so that they could also be trained in riding skills when conditions permit in the future.
These ideas came to Dayong on the spur of the moment, and he did it as he was told. The rules and regulations were not complete, and Dayong was not in a hurry. He just did things first, and it was not impossible to make a system later.
Song Guanglan and others thought that Dayong wanted to train these orphans to become his trusted servants, so they had no objection to giving military training to the orphans. In these days, which military general of the Ming Dynasty did not have a group of trusted servants who dared to fight, but no matter how kind they were,
It's not as good as being taught and trained well since childhood, right?
The people were bravely sent out, and the food was also provided by Dayong. Everything belongs to the Jinzhou Army and has nothing to do with them. Why should they meddle in their own business?
………
The imperial court has not sent anyone to take over Dengzhou, and no envoys have come to reward the army. The great victory of Jinzhou and the pacification of Denglai have not been mentioned. Perhaps the credit was too great, and the imperial court did not come up with a proper solution for a while.
Dayong was not in a hurry, and it suited him to the court to delay the matter for a few more months. However, he could not remain unaware of the court's movements, so he asked Jiang Wanli to ask him for the relevant documents sent to Laizhou.
In order to learn about the domestic situation and the affairs of the court from the Tang newspaper.
Governor Zhu Dadian has returned to Jinan and continues to be his governor of Shandong. Because Gao Qiqian is the biggest beneficiary of the Fenzang Alliance, Zhu Dadian became the governor of Shandong and Gao Qiqian turned to the emperor, so Zhu Dadian and Dayong maintained a friendly relationship.
, Of course, this friendship is based on the real money and silver presented by Dayong and the sharing of military achievements, otherwise Governor Zhu may not look at what he considers a small Jinzhou general.
For the sake of long-term cooperation and to win over this capable soldier, Zhu Dadian would regularly send people to Dengzhou to report some news after returning to Jinan, making it as convenient as possible for Shi Dayong. For this, Dayong was also grateful.
Both parties wisely did not mention the prefect Lu who died at the hands of Li Dashan.
It is impossible for Shandong not to know how Lu Xiong and the five hundred garrison troops died, and no evidence is needed. Just because the Jinzhou Army was able to suddenly bypass Pingdu and then occupy Dengzhou, you can know what happened - Changyi
But it is the only way to reach peace.
In order to explain this "misunderstanding", Dayong once again donated 10,000 taels of silver to Governor Zhu.
People cannot be resurrected, so Governor Zhu will not be stubborn to make the decision for Lu Zhifu. Although he looks down on a third-rank general, there is no doubt that the Jinzhou Army is a strong army. There is a lot of trouble at the moment.
Thieves are rioting everywhere in the northwest, Huguang, and the Central Plains. No one can be sure whether the bandits will come to Shandong. At present, the number of capable soldiers in Shandong is only 5,000. What if there are tens of thousands of bandits?
, Shandong is really in danger, and will definitely ask the imperial court for reinforcements.
Zhu Dadian still understood the principle of pursuing strength rather than weakness. If the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court were not as good as his soldiers, it would be a disaster for Shandong. The so-called "thieves are like tigers, and guest troops are like wolves".
They didn't just appear out of thin air. If you want, the strongest one will come. And I heard that the Jinzhou Army has good military discipline, so it is very necessary to befriend Shi Dayong.
Zhu Dadian is not a pedantic person. He fought against the Hongmao Fan in Fujian in his early years. After weighing the two aspects, he naturally knows what choice to make. As for Lu Zhifu, just report to the court that a bandit has entered the country and fight the bandit army to death.
, the compensation that should be given is indispensable to his family, what's wrong with that. As for the dead guard Peng Tai and the 500 soldiers, Mr. Zhu is not in a good mood to fight for them.
………
Every time Dayong gave money to others, Jiang Wanli would feel sad. Ten thousand taels was not a small amount. The emperor's reward for Songshan Army's beheading of hundreds of people that day was only ten thousand taels of silver. It was still allocated from the internal funds. It was not more than 10,000 taels.
A million taels of silver have been given out, is there any point in caring about the ten thousand taels? [
After almost all the things that needed to be done were explained, Dayong stopped caring about the affairs of Dengzhou City and plunged into Shuicheng to organize and expand the army.
All the 15,000 former rebel soldiers must be integrated into the Jinzhou Army. No one can let them leave the camp, because these people are basically stained with human blood and have done a lot of robbing and robbery. Let them leave the camp.
There will only be one consequence, and that is to continue committing banditry without changing your mind.
Instead of letting them become bandits and kill their own compatriots with knives, it is better to let them follow you and die on the battlefield.
