The banquet was parted on the spot. Who would still be in the mood to drink? Especially the commanders of the Datong garrison stations, they understood one truth, that is, why there were three generals and tens of thousands of soldiers here, and it turned out that they were replaced and after attacking, they ensured that the two towns were not lost.

Open the arsenal, complete the armor, sharpen the knife, and select soldiers.

The ordinary soldiers who were still queuing up to receive food saw the soldiers in each garrison, thousands of households, and hundreds of households. They all wore red clothes and rode military horses and entered their main businesses.

"Killing one person is two taels of silver. But killing someone is worse than catching someone alive. Catching one person is three taels. There are two tribes less than forty miles away from here. One is estimated to have five or six hundred people, and there are at least 100,000 sheep. The other is a large tribe with a thousand people, and there will be 300,000 sheep."

After receiving the order, several thousand households rushed to the camp of the garrison where they were on the peak.

The commanders had not returned to the camp yet, and after sending people to issue orders, they were discussing a strategy for fighting with Guo Deng. In fact, the other two governors were also here, and they were dividing the area of ​​Hetao. They divided it into three upper, middle and lower routes, and then divided it into nine major blocks. The first attack was to sweep the tribes within a hundred miles outside the Great Wall.

They count as strategy.

Thousand households settled the small accounts.

"If you don't leave it to yourself, you can get five thousand taels of silver or ten thousand stones of grain. A thousand households can immediately have a rich year. In addition, people killed or captured alive, horses, etc. They can actually get no less than twenty thousand taels of silver in a small tribe."

"We also have tens of thousands of taels of silver on the top card!"

A thousand households are very satisfied with their calculations.

Another Qianhu said, "The notice said that the above is not stuck. These are real numbers. At least we don't know what rewards the above people have."

"really?"

"It shouldn't be fake. Governor Li and Governor Nian are both people who don't rub the sand in their eyes. And the governors, what they want is merit, not these small money. According to the message, the one who paid the money said that Wei Lizhuan was a poor man who had never seen the world. I heard rumors that the man who pulled the root hair was thicker than Wei Lizhuan's waist."

"Then, pick the elites and prepare to start fighting?"

"Fight!" Several thousand households agreed and immediately arranged for their confidants to go back. Each thousand household could pick out hundreds of elite main combat personnel, while the rest were just treated as auxiliary soldiers and were responsible for picking up goods.

As for how to divide it into Qianhuoyuan, Bai Minghe has never mentioned it, even Yu Qian would not worry about such trivial matters.

With Li Bing and Nianfu here, even if these thousand households deduct some of them, they would not be too much.

When the commanders returned to their main camp, all the troops in the camp had already taken action. There were people in the military households and civilians. This time, not only were the military officers preparing, but the military households began to kill pigs and sheep, and opened the granary to prepare dry food. The women gathered together and began to repair their armor, but many half-aged children gathered together and grinded arrows on the big stones.

"This is not to be lost!" A commander of the ward station sighed.

Another said: "Mobilize the troops of a guard. More than 5,000 people surround a tribe of thousands. If you have the intention to make a mistake, if you lose, you will have to cut your head and apologize. This time, the entire Datong Town may send no less than 50,000 people for a period of one month, and it is estimated that at least one fifth of the Hetao will be cleared!"

During the entire Datong period, the most common sound was the sound of sharpening the knife.

No matter where you walk in the ward, you can hear the sound of sharpening the knife. You can also smell the aroma of pancakes and the aroma of steamed rice cakes.

The three governors and two governors. After inspecting Datong for a few days, Nianfudu said with emotion: "The Ming army has not seen such a high morale in many years. Several governors must be more careful, and they are not allowed to lose. They must do a good job in case the thorn counterattack."

"Don't worry, Lord Nian. Gong Yu has already made plans. We will sweep the Hetao before September. Without the tile sects, there will be no enemy vanguards. Hetao has become a buffering place again. If the army in Mobei goes south, it will be beneficial to our army. In addition, the morale is high, so they will never return!"

Guo Deng is a Confucian general. He has thought deeply, but he still recognizes his words when he is young and rich.

"We are making a small fuss at this time. Bai Minghe is in the formation at this time in Guangdong. I heard from Yu Gong that the Dragon King of the South China Sea on Bai Minghe was in charge of the commander. Within the thousands of miles of sea border, all those who did not accept the education were straitors. I heard that there were only tens of thousands of pirates alone. The treasures that the pirates robbed over the past few decades were not collected in the army, and they were all used to reward soldiers."

Xu Gui's words also have another meaning. He is fighting in the south and the sea is also in trouble. The north cannot lose his face as a land war.

That's right, the mobilization orders in the north were done well.

But it's the south.

The first batch of guests welcomed by Baiminghe's Chunhui Garden were the commander of the 12 Guards of Guangdong, the commander of the 1200 Household Office, and the Qianhu. Of course, there were senior military officers from the Dusi Yamen. Baiminghe sat in the middle, and Yang Neng and Deng Hailong sat on both sides.

The white-known crane was pointing at a very rough South China Sea chart and shouting.

"Here, Qionghaiwei goes south, three hundred miles, and there is a small stone that must be clearly marked. These three hundred miles are the coast guard area of ​​Qionghaiwei, and no ship is allowed to approach. If you dare to get close, kill it." Bai Minghe slapped the map vigorously, slapped the wooden boards behind the map and made a loud noise.

"Xiaobai, there is not half a bird there, Qionghaiwei is not convinced. He requests to sail to the Xisha to sweep away the pirates in the Xisha!"

"Fuck you, you have to accept it if you don't accept it!" Yang Neng slapped the table and shouted angrily. But he immediately turned to Bai Minghe and said, "Xiaobai, this kind of guy doesn't know a basket of words. It's useless to reason with him. Don't tell him more practically, what's the use of guarding him?" Yang Neng played with a flower.

Bai Minghe also gave him face, but he also asked Bai Minghe to tell the details.

Bai Minghe didn't answer, just looked out of the window.

"Xiaobai, there are no outsiders here. There are people from Dongchang!" Yang Neng added.

Bai Minghe sighed softly: "I originally planned to put this plan aside. I will wait for the autumn harvest before implementing it, but what I need now is to clear the field, and there are no outsiders here. Everyone must be military households, and the fields from military households come to be rented out to plant. The place where Qionghaiwei is located is a treasure land. If it is well repaired, it will take a year..."

When Bai Minghe talked about a year, everyone raised their ears.

"Two million dans! Salt!"

Bai Minghe said a word, and the more than 30-year-old man present was so shocked that he couldn't even breathe. The room was silent!

"This investment is a lot, and the salt field needs to be divided into several layers and requires a lot of manpower. So we can't be anxious. At present, we don't have so much money, and there are quite a lot of pirates there. A pirate attack will at least tens of thousands of acres, or even hundreds of thousands of acres of salt field."

"Xiaobai, just say. According to your opinion, how many salt fields can be drawn out!" Yang Nengxin said, "I don't think you have a white-famous crane calculation wrong."

Hainan is not without salt fields, there is!

As early as the Song Dynasty, there was a salt farm. The salt workers in Fujian fled and were later built by local government officials. It was called Yangpu Salt Field, with about 700 to 800 acres of salt fields.

"More than 100,000 mu. If there is enough manpower, you can build 200,000 mu of salt fields."

"A mu of salt field is 40 dan per year, and 200,000 dan is 8 million dan. Xiaobai, you say 2 million dan, which is really modest!" Yang Neng laughed at Bai Minghe. Bai Minghe shook his head: "Big salt field, one person has to take care of several acres, or even more than ten acres. The output is not as good as the small salt field. Two million dan is also a net profit. The tax on a dan of salt in the Ming Dynasty is 2 taels and 2 dans of silver, which is the income of 4 million dans. If there is a private salt, this profit..."

Bai Minghe didn't say anything more. The retail price of a pound of snow salt in Beijing was three cents of silver.

"This matter is not allowed to be mentioned again. Qionghaiwei, I will give you two months to clear all the waters 300 miles south of the island. The cost of ship repair and shipbuilding is required to be reported."

After giving Qionghaiwei instructions, Yang Neng said to Bai Minghe again: "Guangdong will keep half of the benefits of this salt field!"

Baiminghe stretched out his finger and said, "I don't want this little profit, even if I don't have a penny of silver for Baiminghe. But then I will exchange salt for some things and pay the salt at the price. A load of salt is three taels of silver, and I will pay the salt tax."

Yang Neng waved his hand: "No, if you don't want it, we dare not ask for it. If you want it, it means long live to check the cash. If you don't want it, this Yantian is a killing knife. So there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, and you can't refuse it if you can't push it off."

"Okay, let's discuss this matter later. Let's clear these pirates first."

Bai Minghe only made requirements, and Yang could assign tasks.

According to modern sea areas, what Baiminghe wants is to clean the entire South China Sea, and the scope can be larger than that of later modern times. More importantly, Baiminghe requires a detailed chart, which must indicate the locations of all islands in detail, and also have safe and fast routes.

"Xiaobai, do you want a head or a survivor?" Liu Mingxuan knocked on the table and signaled the others to shut up, and then asked.

"What can those pirates do?" Bai Minghe said that he had the serious troops of the Ming Navy in his hands, so what's the use of those third-rate guys?

Liu Mingxuan shook his head, "It's useful. Let's talk about the powerful ones first. If you can't beat them to death, you can work obediently. Some things are not very convenient for us, especially for things like catching livestock. The navy must also be concerned about reputation. Those that are useless can be sent to mine, and those who work in the salt field are fine!"

Bai Minghe didn't speak, he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Speaking of which, the people in Guangdong Dusi really give face to themselves, and this kind of thing makes them nod.
Chapter completed!
