What Zhang Pan said was not false.

From his perspective, the war horses were distributed evenly among the various associations. Although there were fewer conflicts and disputes, a musketeer unit equipped with all war horses would have more combat effectiveness and mobility, and would pose a more threat to Jiannu.

Of course, it would be better if the Mixed Association he led could achieve this goal first. If not, giving up the horse to Kong Youde first would not have much impact on his military actions.

Advancing northward, relying on the original fortresses or built positions, does not require too many war horses, and food and supplies can be carried a little less.

Even if there are fewer horses, it can ensure that the food of the defenders in the stronghold can form a fixed and stable situation faster.

Therefore, temporarily giving up the horse is also a decision made by Zhang Pan based on the tasks and characteristics of his own troops' combat, and it is not simply a noble character.

Kong Youde put away his shocked look and bowed his hand without saying much. The relationship between men and comrades-in-arms does not need to be too pretentious.

In this military operation, his troops had a long journey, and there were more horses, making it more convenient to deal with complex situations and have more room for maneuver.

Once the meeting is successful, you can not only advance to Haizhou from the southeast direction, but also occupy Fengcheng and jointly launch an attack on Jianzhouwei with your troops.

"You must protect the imperial military flag." Zhang Pan did not forget to remind him, "I would rather destroy it than make mistakes."

Kong Youde laughed and said, "How can you not know the importance of the military flag? The life of a certain family cannot compare to it. How dare you ignore it?"

Zhang Pan nodded, showing a look of relief and a bit farewell.

Shortly after the two of them opened town in Dongjiang, they went to southern Liaoning together, fought fiercely with Jiannu several times, and fought side by side with the enemy, and their relationship was naturally deep.

This time, I don’t know when I will fight side by side again.

Kong Youde also felt the reluctance and sorrow of his comrades before their separation, but it was not as delicate as Zhang Pan. He opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go drink and celebrate."

Zhang Pan did not refuse as before, and smiled and agreed, "I should celebrate if I have to give the imperial military flag. Let's go, Zhang will be the East."

Kong Youde smiled and said, "I won't fight with you, I will save money to buy cigarettes and wine."

"Save money to get married and get married in the future." Zhang Pan teased with a smile, and walked away with Kong Youde and laughed.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Feeling the tension of another war approaching, in addition to the officers and soldiers who were ready to go, there were also the people living in the Guangfu District.

The officers and soldiers also felt that the court was different from the past, and the most direct thing was that the salary and food were paid on time and in full.

Especially for veterans with more than three years of military experience, they have a comparison. The new recruits think that's it. If they don't listen to the veterans, they don't know how hard it is to withhold wages and food.

The people in Guangfu District felt different from the officers and soldiers. They were concerned about their own lives and their hunger, fullness, and warmth.

"It's going to fight again!" Yingzi's father looked at the carriage running on the road and a long row of human-powered carriages, and expressed his emotion.

Yingzi's eyes were also staring at her. She knew more than her father. Brother Zhuzi got busy again. He had not seen anyone for several days and was organizing people to transport supplies back and forth.

"It's another entry!" Yingzi's father touched his beard and said thoughtfully: "Our family also gets a car and delivers a few supplies? There will probably be a lot of such jobs in the future."

For the common people, it was not a normal thing for the imperial court to requisition. When resisting Japanese and aiding Korea, the Liaodong people were summoned to death, and they did not say that they would give them any pensions. When Jiannu just rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, the civil servants were not recruited a lot, and they were all considered in corvee service, and they were just doing nothing.

Like now, the government clearly states the price and gives you as much as you can, and it is all for the first time.

"There are many people and few lands, so they can't make money by rushing their feet?" Yingzi glanced at his father and said, "Our family has land, so it's better to plant it well than running around?"

"Grass, it's good to plant it." Yingzi's father said with confidence: "I made a lot of money selling vegetables. I'm almost saving enough of your dowry."

Yingzi rolled her eyes and said, "Don't save it for me, and you don't have to do it hard."

Yingzi's father curled his lips, took out the cigarette pot and filled it with cigarettes. He wanted to light it up but hesitated. He tried the wind direction and fired at the lower wind of his daughter, swallowing the clouds and smog happily.

"Well, the cigarette I bought this time tastes good." Yingzi's father praised: "It's still my daughter's filial piety. We will plant some next year and earn more."

Yingzi was a little helpless. She didn’t grow grain well if she had land. She grew vegetables this year and would grow cigarettes again next year.

Yingzi's father looked at his daughter and muttered to himself: This pillar is so lame that I don't pick on it, but why are you not in a hurry? Hurry up and find a matchmaker to say that you are kinship. When your daughter gets married, she will feel at ease.

"Silly boy, stupid Zhuzi..." Yingzi's father muttered unknowingly.

Yingzi turned her head strangely and asked, "Dad, who do you think is a fool?"

Yingzi's father snorted and spit out heavy smoke. While knocking on the cigarette puddle, he said angrily: "I'm not stupid or not. I have the final say. Just think it's good."

As he said that, he got up and left the cigarette pot to his waist, and said, "Okay, I'll go home first. You can continue to be a friend. When you meet good cigarettes, buy some."

"Dad——" Yingzi called out, but his father just waved his hand and left without even looking back.

What does it mean? Yingzi frowned and thought for a while, and finally figured out something. The girl pursed her lips and smiled, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Pingliao, it’s really like Brother Zhuzi said, at most it will be done in two or three years?

Yingzi would rather believe that this is true, and walk while thinking, and return to the expanded store.

The variety of goods has increased again, and the food, clothing and use are almost the same as those of grocery stores in mainland towns. From this, it can be seen that the expansion of the consumer group is no longer just a soldier, but also ordinary people.

If the Chinese Chamber of Commerce set up shops in Lushun and Pidao before, it was to please the emperor and to make money and make a profit, but now it has begun to make money.

Increase the income of the people in the restoration area and get rid of the dilemma of asking for relief from the court as soon as possible. This is the policy determined by the emperor.

After experiencing wars and hardships, they fled to the Ming throne area. The new group of Liao people generally had very thin families. The land was also divided by old residents. If they did not find any work for them, they could only do leisure and could not create value.

For the Liao people in the Guangfu District, the imperial court originally had preferential policies, such as not paying taxes in farming, and relief grains distributed according to human hair.

Now, corvee labor has been abolished. Mobilizing the people to transport food, grass and supplies and also pay wages is equivalent to finding a profitable job for the new people.

Moreover, the people who have lived in the islands and Guangfu District for more than a year have saved up some of their wealth. Whether they are farming, fishing, or working, they are income.

With the remaining money in hand, you have to buy the necessary household items. Although you are still careful in your calculations, you can also be considered as having some consumption power.

The richest one is that there are people in the family who serve in the army. The military pay is sufficient and the soldiers don’t spend much, and they all subsidize the family. There are also preferential treatments for military families, so these families are more generous when shopping.

The increase in consumer groups has in turn promoted the development and expansion of stores and increased the motivation for merchants to buy goods.

Ping Liao has been put on the Japanese and current agenda, and Zhu Youxiao must also think about the long-term.

How to rebuild Liaodong as soon as possible after the war, so that the Liao people can live and work in peace and support themselves as soon as possible, specific policies have begun to be implemented.

………………………………………

The military towns have successively launched operations, thanks to factors such as the large number of troops being supplemented, as well as the short cycle of musketeer training.

After the war, the Ming army recovered so quickly and launched almost uninterrupted continuous actions. This surprised the Later Jin side and was quite busy.

The weakness of the small population and weak foundation was fully exposed by the continuous actions of the Ming army. In view of the lack of military strength, the Later Jin Dynasty also expanded its army.

There was no longer enough young people, so Nurhaci had to issue a Khan imperial edict to recruit Jurchens aged 15 to 50 to expand their army.

The quantity barely met the requirements, but the quality was not satisfactory, and the overall combat power of the Later Jin army inevitably declined.

Even if the Jurchens were soldiers, they could not consume the Ming Empire with a population of over 100 million. Zhu Youxiao was not only sure about this, but also certain.

Holding the little girl who could already be babbling, Zhu Youxiao temporarily put aside the troubles of politics and concentrated on enjoying the fun of being a father.

A gentleman holds his grandson but not his son, which is clearly written in the "Book of Rites? Qu Li". That is to say, the importance attached to each other in ancient times.

"Sun can be the corpse of the king's father, but the son cannot be the corpse of the father. If the corpse of the king, the great officials will see it, and then the subordinates will be given. If the corpse is known to be the corpse, then the subordinates will be given. If the corpse is the corpse, the subordinates will be given. The corpse must be given. The number of people will be given."

Don’t you understand? Zhu Youxiao doesn’t understand very well, he has to ask others to know.

The so-called corpse is a divine image. In ancient times, when worshiping ancestors, living people pretended to be the image of ancestors (corpse) and traveled to sacrifice. This divine image (corpse) should be the grandson of the ancestors rather than sons.

This is true for civilians, and so is the emperor (the corpse of the king). Once the deceased monarch determines his grandchildren to act as corpses, both officials and civilians, including the new emperor, must get off the car to salute.

Confucius once said: "If you sacrifice for a funeral, you must have a corpse, and the corpse must be a grandson. If the grandson is young, you will be brought to someone. If there is no grandson, you will be given the same surname."

In other words, the importance of a grandson is better than that of a son. On the other hand, it is not easy for a strict father to be too ungrateful to his son for his image. But when the grandson is old, he doesn’t have to pretend. Isn’t it beautiful to be happy?

Like Zhu Youxiao, as a monarch, he must "set the lead" and not hold his son, let alone a girl movie?

But he did not abide by it. To be precise, he was free in the inner courtyard of the deep palace and would not cause boring advice.

Such a caring little cotton-padded jacket and such a cute little girl, how can you not hug or kiss? Even if you rub your face, Zhu Youxiao smiled happily.

I felt warm and dampness on my knees. Another young man was gnawing, which was delicious. I wonder why this girl’s taste is so unique?

Zhang Yu'er reached out to pick up her daughter and patted her baby's butt twice in love. Her intimate behavior of giving a little punishment made the little girl giggle and kept urging into her arms.

Laughing is contagious, and another girl who had already calmed down also laughed in Zhu Youxiao's arms.

Zhu Youxiao laughed and wiped his daughter's mouth with a silk trouser. He said with a smile: "They are very energetic. Is the time for taking a nap almost?"

Zhang Yuer said, "Your Majesty, these two girls don't take naps every day. They are energetic and don't sleep for a while during the day!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded, knowing that it was not easy to take care of the children and grow up. Fortunately, there were palace servants and nurses to help take care of them, so Zhang Yuer didn't have to "fight" with two little girls alone.

"The emperor should name them." Zhang Yuer reminded.

Zhu Youxiao had thought about it and it took a lot of brain cells, but he was not very satisfied, so he did not make it public.

According to seniority, the names of the two princesses should be three characters, and the middle one is according to the royal family's inheritance, which is "Hui".

The last character should be next to the character "女".

Zhu Huihao, Zhu Huihao, Zhu Huijiao, etc., but such names did not satisfy the emperor.

The Zhu family has a large population and many of them have their own peers. The restrictions on the name make naming a difficult problem, either an unusual character or a random character. This problem has been complained about by many people.

But Zhu Youxiao cannot make random changes, so he can only think slowly and drag on.

The two little girls were ordered by their mother to carry the nurse to the outside room. Zhu Youxiao "understands" and regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding, he hugged Zhang Yuer and lay on the bed.

Zhang Yuer didn't look too shy. She bently beside the emperor, hugged the emperor's arm, and pressed it tightly against her plump breasts.
