Chapter 601: Let you go

After the Huazhou army advanced to the direction of the Great Liao River, it stopped moving forward and temporarily stationed there to rest. Now the Huazhou army on the front line has about 35,000 troops. The remaining 10,000 soldiers and the 30,000 regiments from the Northern Prefecture outside the Pass were maintained in various places as occupation forces.

In the eyes of the Ming army who had surrendered and had not surrendered, they generally believed that Huazhou was inadequate and could not maintain it. They could only stop moving forward, digest the occupied land, and then have the strength to continue attacking.

All the defenses of the Northern Prefecture outside the pass have been taken over by the regiment training, and these regiment training are so-called new regiment training. Within a year and a half, there are still 4,000 regular soldiers and 2,000 guards to guard against sudden scenes. The remaining "old" regiment training has already entered Liao Town, and is maintaining the local area, and 2,000 regiment training is still in progress.

The busiest thing at present is the regiment training envoys at all levels. They not only have to manage their regiment training as grassroots officers, but also have to take on the task of training those reorganized surrendered Ming army.

After the regular army advanced to the Great Liao River, it was equivalent to blocking the throat of Liao Town. The Ming army that had not yet fought were already blocked in Liao Town. The Gaizhou Guards, Fuzhou Guards, Jinzhou Guards, and Dingliao Right Guards were all recruiting troops, because they were guarding key areas or were too far away from Liaoyang and Shenyang, and were not among the recruitment list. Now they were all closed down by the Huazhou Army.

Although the Jinzhou Guard, Gaizhou Guard and Fuzhou Guard are all very close to the Bohai Bay, the most powerful of the Huazhou Army is the navy. Before the Liaozhen War had even occurred, all the ships in the port were smashed by Huazhou gunboats and were completely blocked.

These garrisons only have Dingliao Right Guards. Because the leader of the garrison was the direct general of Li Gufeng, the general of Liao Town, so he did not make any requirements and simply surrendered.

According to the tradition of the Ming army's large and small control, the other three garrisons were arranged by the Governor of Ji Liao to garrison there, and there was little possibility of persuading surrender. For these garrisons, Huazhou's arrangements were quite interesting. They did not send regular troops to fight, but instead sent the regiments who drove in to fight.

The training volume of regiment training in Huazhou is equivalent to 70% of that of the regular army, and its equipment is not as good as that of the regular army. However, such training volume and training methods, including those equipment, are already a first-class strong army in the Ming army. No one will know about this inside story. Instead, everyone thinks that the strength of the Huazhou army is too short to deal with.

Generally speaking, the occupying army has such a problem. As the front line grows and the occupied territory becomes larger and larger, the troops must be distributed to maintain order, otherwise the fire will catch a fire in the backyard. Therefore, the later the troops will become less and less. Although the Huazhou army is also Han people, it is easier to control and control the territory, which means that it can quickly control the population and resources and quickly replenish the army.

But this takes time after all. In this situation, Huazhou can only defend the Daliao River area and cannot continue to move forward. After all, you cannot advance here. The Ming Dynasty will not wait for you to enrich your military resources. Your Huazhou occupies at most a province outside the Liaozhen Pass. However, the Ming Dynasty's thirteen provinces, plus the north and south Zhili, is a power gap of more than ten to one, or even dozens to one.

Many people thought that the Huazhou army had achieved such a result this time, and the Ming army was caught off guard and was defeated like this. If the court was given time to respond and concentrate the country's financial resources and military strength, it is still unknown whether the Huazhou army can gain a foothold. Therefore, those who surrendered before all had other ideas at this time.

Including the general of Liao Town, Li Gufeng, he felt a little regretful, but at this time there were no soldiers or generals around him. He was just a rich man from Chenyang, and there was not even a person willing to leave the city to report the news. He was just secretly anxious there.

The regiments sent out to fight this time did not pay attention to the speed of soldiers. Instead, they fought steadily and left enough time for the opponent. But what was surprising was that the defeat of these regiments and the dignified battles of those guards on the battlefield where the guards were located was the Ming army.

Speaking of which, what was surprising was that those who did not know the background of Huazhou would understand the regiment training system of Huazhou, and if such an army faced the Ming army, if it did not win, it could only be said that the commander was incompetent.

Liao Town has been peaceful for too long. In the years before the war, each garrison, which had been trained for more than 300 days a year and had been 10 days, can be called rigorous and diligent. The most important responsibility of soldiers in this era is to farm and pay rent. Since there is no war, making money is the main business.

However, although the Huazhou gang training is trained in the name of the militia, the militia is actually full-time. It trains military skills every day under the leadership of a veteran regiment. One is trained for less than ten days a year, and the other is trained all year round. The level of excellent equipment is not on the same level.

No one has any experience in war. If the Huazhou regiment training was to lose, it would be a fantasy. Three garrisons, 20,000 regiment training, the battle ended after the first snowfall in Liao Town. These regiment trainings with combat experience were organized into ten infantry regiments.

Those who have been calculating the combat power that the Huazhou army can dispatch have calculated a number for Huazhou. There are now 50,000 regular troops, and only these soldiers can be dispatched. However, the Jing camp in Guangning and the Jizhen area within the pass, including the nearby troops, could not be a problem. This is really a huge gap.

The people at both ends of the rat were worried again, as if to confirm their concerns. Even though the Huazhou Army had trained those regiments as regular troops, they still stood guarding the Daliao River and no longer advanced.

In November of the 22nd year of Jiajing, Huazhou issued a message throughout the Liao Town he occupied. There was no precedent for this news, and it seemed inexplicable in everyone's eyes. The content of this notice was that Huazhou was a benevolent and righteous teacher and did not force the Chinese people to choose a camp.

If you are willing to return to the Ming Dynasty, the Huazhou army will never stop it. Of course, the land, land, houses and houses will not be taken away. Huazhou will never deduct a little bit of the remaining property. Gifts will be given out. This news can be said to be inexplicable, but except for inexplicable, there is no one to stop it. If you want to leave, it is also troublesome to stay in Liao Town and continue to stir up trouble.

Those who have always had no confidence in Huazhou and were also extremely worried, especially those who had some industries and had status in Liao Town back then, thought they could understand the situation clearly. After receiving this news, they saw someone crossing the Daliao River safely and took action one after another.

There are also some more pedantic scholars who have to go there in the countryside if they don’t want to leave by themselves, inciting others to go with them, saying that they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so why bother to serve rebelliously? If such remarks are changed, such as the Ming Dynasty, the people from the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang can simply and neatly make a decisive decision for you.

However, the regiment training in maintaining public order in Huazhou was just watching coldly. Those who were reorganized in the surrendered soldiers wanted to go over to manage, but were also stopped.

Of course, the effect of incitement and the number of people who followed back to the Ming Dynasty was pitiful. In the process of dividing land and taxes, all military households made cheaper profits. First, they paid 20% less land and taxes, and then the public land was distributed to everyone. When Huazhou fought with Liao Town, it was the time for harvest. Huazhou defeated and determined the policy, and the harvest of these public land was actually distributed to everyone.

Compared with previous years, the food I received this year has almost doubled. Thinking about the harvest next year, who is willing to follow, the farmers and military households all think clearly that whoever gives people real benefits will follow him wholeheartedly. Anyway, we Han people are in the country. What do you think about this Huazhou army? What about the time when the plain and powerful soldiers in Liao Town were beaten to the point of falling flowers and flowing water?

It is ridiculous to say that the whole Liao Town wants to leave the most is just three people, Xu Lun, the military eunuch, and the Liao Town general Li Gufeng, but Li Gufeng did not dare to go back at all. He was so responsible for such a great failure and surrendered to the other party. Even if he went back, he would be charged with beheading. Although he had no confidence in the situation in Huazhou now, he was still staying in the mansion honestly.

As for Xu Lun and the eunuch, they were under house arrest at this time, and they had no idea what was going on outside. They were prisoners, not free people, and they did not have the right to return home.

After crossing the Daliao River, these people walked along the official road to Guangning, and some people were preparing to enter the pass and join their relatives. Along the way, many people naturally asked them about what was going on in the mysterious Huazhou. Although they were full of slander and rumors, many messages were also passed through them, and many people outside began to have some preliminary understanding of Huazhou.

No matter how these people spread rumors, one thing can never be changed, that is, why are the 100,000 soldiers in Liaozhen, and why are they beaten by the opponent in such a short time? How powerful is the Huazhou Army? Guangning's troops originally wanted to make some tests on the Huazhou Army in the Great Liao River, but since those people passed by, they immediately shrank.

In early December, the Ming army in Baohe Jiuchengbao, Zhenjiang, on the Yalu River, surrendered, with the Great Liao River as the dividing line, and the land on the east was already owned by Liao Town. Many people think that this is nothing. After destroying most of the Ming army, it is also a matter of course to seize the remaining territory.
