Chapter thirty seven
It is indeed not the treatment that ordinary members of the ruling class can receive when they are the leader of the southern clan of the Kong family and the doctor of the Five Classics. At least the gentry and merchants in Quzhou all showed respect.
Chen Wen's treatment was nothing more than that he awakened the gratitude of the Southern Sect of the Kong clan who was unwilling to surrender to the barbarian tradition. He confirmed that the Emperor Yongli requested the Emperor Kong Yanzhen to inherit the Five Classics Doctors of the Hanlin Academy to sacrifice to the Confucius Temple. Chen Wen solemnly worshiped the Confucius Temple, and finally got some orthodox cloaks to fight against the Southern Ming Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty.
After more than ten days of separation, the people coming and going in Quzhou Fucheng were restored to a certain extent. The merchants who responded to the call not only brought goods, but also brought more employment opportunities. Although it was not as good as before the siege of the city, the vitality had already reappeared in the spiritual outlook of the people of Quzhou.
Over the past few days, the staff responsible for the temporary responsibility of the civil affairs of Quzhou in the civil affairs of Quzhou sold a large number of industries seized by the Qing officials at low prices according to Chen Wen's instructions. These industries have led a large number of foreign merchants to transform into business. They have obtained shops at low prices. The workshops urgently need a series of employees from accounting offices to small workers. These employment opportunities have allowed the unemployed people in the Fucheng who have been executed by Chen Jin and the shops and workshops to be forced to close their doors to get the ability to support their families again. These incomes have also improved the purchasing power of the Fucheng, so that the industries of new merchants can be rewarded without losing their capital.
The business cycle was re-expanded, but Chen Wen did not rush to stop the porridge cooking, but only reduced the scale to two places in front of the government and county governments to further stimulate the transaction of food.
There were praises around us, and there were many people who welcomed each other along the way. However, Chen Wen also knew that according to the calculations of his staff, the food in the warehouse would be completely exhausted after more than ten days, and the inventory in Jinhua could not be supported for too long. If the army had no food, it would be dispersed. Even if the purchase of grain had begun, the amount of porridge must be further reduced from tomorrow, otherwise it would be affected whether it was military expansion training or next year's military operations.
Some local scholars began to serve in the Ming army in Zhejiang, most of whom were appointed as officials, while others were appointed to join the army.
Chen Wen planned to send these scholars back to Jinhua for training first, and then add official positions in various places, especially Quzhou and Chuzhou. These two newly occupied lands urgently need a large number of officials to maintain the system.
After several days of relocation in Quzhou, he decided that the Qing army would not launch an attack, so he returned to Jinhua. It was the base camp of the Ming army in Zhejiang. Not to mention the facilities and systems here, Chen Wen had to come back to take charge of the military pressure on the northern line.
However, just two days after returning to Jinhua, news of the Qing army withdrawing troops came from the direction of Anhua Town Basin.
The Qing army used a large-caliber red artillery that was conducive to siege for the second besiege of the castle, but the Qing army was still powerless in the face of the perverted defense of the castle.
The power of the bastion lies in its multi-angle defense system, which can exert more and more damage to the siege army. The Ming army has only more than 400 troops, but the military supplies and military reserves are astonishingly large. In just two months, the defenders do not need to worry about exhausting ammunition and food. Facing the Qing army in the bastion, except for not knowing where to get a few large-caliber red artillery guns, the methods of siege are still the same. The soldiers will be baptized by the defenders' artillery from a distance of hundreds of meters. After crossing the moat and entering the ants-attack stage, they will be attacked from multiple angles. Although the Qing army has a great advantage in military strength, the Ming army also has a force for restraint nearby, which also leads to the inability to fully exert the strength advantages of the Qing army.
From the beginning of the siege to the forced rescue, the Qing army launched nearly ten large-scale offensives, but the result was that it only destroyed many swaths on the horns, completely filling the moat, causing less than 200 casualties to the Ming army, and this was due to the accident at the beginning of the war.
As for the casualties of the Qing army, although most of the casualties were borne by auxiliary soldiers, the two armies, including Fubiao and Qibiao, also lost more than 700 combat soldiers in the past two months, and the relatively intact Eight Banners in Hangzhou also lost more than 100 people. Such exchange ratios were unbearable to Jin Li, Tian Xiong, Chang Jingong and others. There were too many casualties and the morale of the army had begun to be unstable, especially the troops from the rebuilt Fubiao camp that were originally green camps, which had already complained.
Chen Wen didn't know that Jin Li insisted so far because of the strict orders of the Qing court, but shortly after he lifted the attack from Jiangshan, Jin Li withdrew his troops. It was obvious that the Qing army temporarily stabilized the defense line on the Western Front was the case.
The war in Quzhou and northern Jinhua has ceased, the Qing army has returned to the nest to go to the wound, and the Ming army is preparing to accumulate greater strength. At this moment, there is only the war in Chuzhou that is far from extinguishing, and it is even more likely to burn into Wenzhou.
For this reason, Chen Wen drew some troops to go south to reinforce Chen Guobao. Even if he could not take advantage of the opportunity to recover Wenzhou, he had to swallow the piece of meat that had already been eaten into his mouth.
It is imperative to expand the army. After receiving the news, Sun Yu transferred many civil servants to take over the civil affairs of each county, and Zhou Jingting has also begun to select some experienced military officers to go to the new occupied areas to carry out work.
These people will inevitably start a day where they work by themselves, and at least before the new officials come out of training, they will be so busy that they even have to take time to eat.
In addition to the promotion of officials in Jinhua, the Jinhua Martial Arts School was upgraded to the Zhejiang Martial Arts School. Since then, aside from the original training staff and strengthening the tactical qualities of officers of various arms, the task of training military officers in the military field is now also the task of training military officers. Most of the new trainees are from disabled officers in the war this year, and there are also soldiers who know some of them. They will complete the most basic training here and then be supplemented to the military centers of each county to act as deputy and subordinates of the chief officers of the military centers.
The army has always been Chen Wen's basic foundation. Even during the Cao Conglong Rebellion, those officers who were forced to rebel would immediately know that Chen Wen had returned. Because this period of struggles over time made them believe in Chen Wen, which was no longer as simple as kindness.
However, the stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and the officers brought out by Chen Wen will be divided into increasingly large-scale troops. If they are not arranged in advance, the barriers to space will sooner or later turn this army into small-scale private soldiers. They will continue to walk under the leadership of Chen Wen's officers, but the army will no longer be a whole. The feudalization revival. If the Qing Dynasty cannot be eliminated before completing this road, then it will be pushed back by the Qing Dynasty.
