Chapter 1160 The Seventh Army
Dong Dashan gently asked about the situation along the way, and then specifically asked about the preparations for Zhang Zhao's troops.
Jia Cheng was naturally telling the truth, and Zhang Zhao was the same, and then reported to Dong Dashan all the time about his troops.
Since the Ming army entered Liaodong, the Qing army retreated north. Hundreds of miles south of Shenyang, including north of Shenyang, are now under the control of the Ming army. Zhang Zhao's troops are now stationed in the southern Liao Dynasty for a generation, mainly responsible for clearing out the remaining Qing forces in the local area, and at the same time providing guarantees for immigration to Liaodong.
Now that the Ming Dynasty immigrated to Liaodong, there were not many real Ming people, but the majority were immigrants from North Korea.
In order to ensure the smooth immigration of Liaodong, these immigrants directly gave them household registration, land and other policies. It can be said that for these ordinary Koreans, this is simply a pie that fell from the sky.
You should know that in North Korea, these ordinary Korean farmers have no industry at all. They rent land for landlords and local tribes. In addition, North Korea has many terrain and few lands, and does not have much agricultural output. The extremely difficult life of these Koreans often encounter disasters. Not to mention making a living, even survival will become a big problem.
Now that the Ming Dynasty immigrated to Liaodong, he gave these Koreans a way out, it was a gift from God for them. From the poor mud legs that were not worthy of vain, he suddenly owned his own land. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also distributed agricultural tools and seeds to immigrants, and even gave them a resettlement fee. This was like a dream-making happiness for the Koreans.
But similarly, these North Koreans still made some troubles after immigrating to Liaodong. It’s not that these North Koreans dared to have any objections to the Ming Dynasty. In their hearts, the majesty of the Ming father is unquestionable, but at the same time, the disadvantages in the Korean character are revealed.
The character of Koreans is different from that of Japanese. Koreans will show surrender and humility to the strong and the Japanese, but Koreans do not have the discipline of Japanese. Moreover, many Koreans have the disadvantage of being proud of being proud of being weaker than themselves in their personalities.
These happen frequently during the immigration process. In order to occupy land, or even use water, these North Koreans have had many private fights, and even formed gangs and gangs to kill people.
Although the military strength of North Korea is not very good, the Korean soldiers are even more vulnerable. In history, foreign nationals from North Korea invaded, the North Korean army was simply paper-made, and a defeat would not have any effect at all.
But ordinary Koreans seem extremely brave for some small profits, and fight for land and water sources. If the North Korean army could have the courage of these people, perhaps North Korea would have destroyed Japan when Japan invaded, and would not have fallen to the point where they cried and asked Daming's father to help him later.
Therefore, in addition to normal training and clearing out the legacy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the garrison in southern Liaoning was also their job to suppress North Korean immigrants. At the beginning, the Ming army also considered the immigration factors but did not intervene much, but later it became more and more wrong. At Dong Dashan's instruction, they directly took action to teach these Koreans a lesson and even gave a few leading guys to show them, which made these Koreans calm down.
"Master, I'm so nervous in Liaonan all winter. There's nothing big about it every day except those trivial matters. Besides, my Second Division was the old foundation of the new army back then. It's a waste to put it in Liaonan like this. Good luck, don't let me stay there, will you do it?"
Zhang Zhao said bitterly and half-jokingly. Dong Dashan burst into laughter when he heard this and pointed at Zhang Zhao and said, "You kid have become cunning over the years. This was not the case before."
Zhang Zhao smiled embarrassedly: "This person always needs to grow up. I will grow up with you over the years."
"Go to you, according to your opinion, I learned this set from me?"
"I dare not, what the commander said is what he said. Maybe he didn't learn it carefully?" Zhang Zhao smiled and looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. Jia Cheng was envious of him. He didn't expect that his old partner would have such a weight in Dong Dashan's heart. You must know that this is Dong Dashan! The former Minister of Military Affairs, Army Commander, and now the Liaodong Supervisor.
"Okay, you don't have to say this to me, and don't complain in front of me on purpose. This time I'm shouting that there is something big to do." Dong Dashan laughed and scolded a few times, then said seriously.
"Master, are you going north?" Zhang Zhao asked happily as soon as he heard this.
Dong Dashan nodded. In fact, the decision to advance north had been decided long ago. Now that Liaodong is in spring, it is time to prepare now. It is just beginning of spring, heavy snow has begun to turn into muddy land, so it is naturally not suitable for combat. However, according to time calculations, we should start preparing now, and waiting for a month is the best time to advance north.
As a senior general, Zhang Zhao thought of this very naturally. Dong Dashan suddenly stood up. Seeing this, Zhang Zhao and Jia Cheng also stood up quickly. Then Dong Dashan took out a piece of things and announced: "The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Army reported to His Majesty and the Military Affairs Department. Now the court has approved it. Major General Zhang Zhao was promoted to Lieutenant General of the Army, and led the Second Division of the South of Liao, the Fifth Division, and the First Cavalry Division to form the Seventh Army, and Zhang Zhao was also commanded by the former Shanxi Army 8th Division Jia Cheng replaced the commander of the Second Division. This order will take effect now!"
After the announcement, Dong Dashan handed the thing in his hand to Zhang Zhao who was still a little stunned, patted him on the shoulder and said, "From now on, you will be the commander of the Seventh Army, and your rank has been officially promoted from major general to lieutenant general. Boy, do it well, don't let me down."
Zhang Zhao was clever and stood up straight: "The last general Zhang Zhaoding will live up to the expectations of His Majesty. Please be optimistic about the expectations of the court and the general. In the end, we will make another contribution to this Northern Battle to repay His Majesty, the court and the general's kindness!"
"Okay!" Dong Dashan nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Zhao was a young general he had always been optimistic about. This time, he specially wrote a letter to the court to obtain Zhu Yicheng's consent, and also handed over such an important position as the commander of the Seventh Army to Zhang Zhao, which was enough to show Dong Dashan's love for Zhang Zhao.
Then, Dong Dashan smiled and said to Jia Cheng beside him: "Since you and Zhang Zhao are both colleagues formed by the new army back then, this time you will be the success of your old partners. Jia Cheng, do your best, and take the fame of a real man freely in the formation. I hope that in the next year, there will be an extra star on your shoulders!"
Jia Cheng felt very excited and immediately said loudly: "Please rest assured, Jia Cheng will definitely live up to the expectations of the general.
