The completion of the signal tower has enabled communications to reach an amazing speed.

Although the formal decree or order was still passed through the post, it did not affect Mao Wenlong's advance arrangement.

The generals in the conference hall had arrived on time. After sitting down, they either chatted or joked, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

The enemy has been defeated, and it will take some time to plow the cave, but it can no longer resist the advancement of the Ming army. It is a matter of time before the destruction is over.

The combat power of the army is still improving, mainly because of the sufficient war horses, which has led to more and more cavalry, increased mobility, sharp weapons and equipment, and the generals are full of confidence.

As a soldier, only by fighting can he achieve military merits and promotion can he be promoted quickly; wasting time and qualifications is obviously not what most officers want.

What's more, the combat power of the army was there, and the remnants of Jiannu and the Mongolian tribes were not very much in the eyes of these officers.

Since you have the confidence to win a battle, you will not be afraid of war and cowardly. Even if you don’t fight, it will make you feel idle and uncomfortable.

"That tiger is three or four hundred kilograms, and it will be killed in one shot." Yang Guozhu said in a verbal manner, "If it weren't for the hot weather, I would have brought you to treat tiger meat."

In Liaodong at that time, there were barren mountains and forests everywhere, with many tigers, and they were not protected animals. There were even more wild animals such as wild boars, bears, roe deer, and deer. They really beat roe deer and scoop fish.

They are all from warriors, so hunting is naturally their favorite. Not only generals, but also soldiers, in order to immigrate to the safety of the village, they are not polite to the beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests.

"It's just a pity that a good tiger skin." Yang Guozhu shook his head with a little regret, "The heavy musket is too fierce, and the tiger's head is broken."

Zhang Pan smiled and said, "If you use a light musket, the tiger will probably not die with one blow. It is not easy to get a good tiger skin if you struggle to death. Unless you hit the eye with a shot and the sea of ​​lead is killed by the brain, it will be considered a good tiger skin."

The generals next to him agreed and curiously asked Zhang Pan whether there are many wild animals near the shipyard city and whether hunting is enjoyable.

Zhang Pan smiled slightly and said, "There must be many wild animals, but I don't have time to hunt, but my subordinates have gained a lot."

"Building villages and villages is really busy and hard." Huang Long glanced at Zhang Pan with understanding and said, "There are not many people, they all rely on the army."

Zhang Pan nodded to Huang Long, expressed his gratitude, and said, "Although paving, logging, building houses, reclamation and farming work are cumbersome and busy, there are incentive policies, but the officers and soldiers do not realize it is hard. Some officers and soldiers even plan to settle here in the future to farm, fish and hunt."

The army can fight, build and produce, which is the emperor's requirement. According to the emperor's habits and temper, working without mercy is all converted into treatment after retirement, and it is even linked to military merits.

For example, if you reclaim land, you will get two acres of land and reclaim ten acres, and you will be given to your relatives at the same time when you retire. This is very realistic benefit, and it is not just a vernacular statement.

For example, road paving, house building and other work also have subsidies in addition to military pay. If you do more, you will be mobilized in this way the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers will be mobilized.

Narazhongming interrupted, saying, "It is mostly plain west of the Great Montenegro, which is indeed suitable for settlement. Although the climate is colder, there are rye and potatoes, which can still be cultivated and harvested."

From later generations, Jilin Province is bounded by Daheishan in the central region and can be divided into two major landforms: eastern mountainous land and central and western plains. If the Songliao watershed is bounded by Songnen Plain, north is Songnen Plain, and south is Liaohe Plain.

Moreover, Jilin Province in history was not an inland province. At its peak, it reached the east of the river and sea islands including the Ussuri River and Sakhalin Island, and from the north of the outer Xing'an Mountains to the Sea of ​​Japan and the lower reaches of Heilongjiang.

Of course, the Ming army has only now advanced to the Shipyard City, also known as Jilin, which is the earliest location in Jilin City in later generations.

Zhang Pan nodded in response to Nara Zhongming's comments, saying that he did not have any discrimination or disdain. However, some generals curled their lips not easily, and their eyes showed contempt.

After all, they are two ethnic groups. Although they have become naturalized in the Ming Dynasty, they still need time to deepen their acceptance.

In addition to Nara Zhongming, there are three Jurchen officers here, all of whom made contributions in the late period of the Ping Liao War.

However, from the current hairstyle and clothing, there is no difference between different ethnic groups. This is also the emperor's rigid requirement, and it is also the sincerity that the Jurchens who surrendered must show.

The Jianzhou Wei no longer exists. In Liaodong, the ward system was completely abolished, and all of them were divided into prefectures, prefectures and counties.

Nara Zhongming was the supreme commander of the Jurchen army, while Leng Sengji and Han officials sent by the court jointly managed the Jurchen government affairs.

The five thousand naturalized army and Zhang Pan's troops formed a vanguard advancing northward and will also participate in the battle to wipe out the remnants of Jiannu.

The naturalized Mongolian soldiers will become troops fighting against Lin Dankhan; the naturalized Jurchens will also be troops fighting against the remaining Jiannu.

There is no need to worry about showing mercy to the subordinates of the same clan, or even colluding with each other. As long as the Ming army remains strong, holds thick legs and stands on the side of the winner, it is the most reasonable decision.

"The court has already ordered the rebuilding of the shipyard city and renamed it to Jilin." Huang Long stroked his beard and said, "In my opinion, immigration and settlement is inevitable. The officers and soldiers have the intention of settling down, but they are quite eye-catching."

Zhang Pan pondered for a moment and was about to speak when the soldiers at the door had already announced loudly that Mao Shuai had arrived.

The generals quickly stood up in a stern manner, bowed to Mao Wenlong who entered the room, and said in unison: "I have seen Mao Shuai."

Mao Wenlong took a slight head, walked to the main seat of the conference table, glanced at the generals, then pressed his hands down and said, "No need to be polite, just sit down and discuss!"

"Thank you, Mr. Mao." The generals bowed to thank him.

After Mao Wenlong sat down, he waited for a while before he slowly spoke: "The court has issued an order to establish a prefecture in Jilin and be under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Governor. The permanent army quota is 3,000..."

All the generals were a little surprised. They did not expect that the court would set up a prefecture in Jilin so soon, and there were 3,000 permanent troops. This shows that the court attaches great importance to the Jilin area.

It may not be very accurate to say that attention is paid, and it may be more appropriate to add urgency.

You should know that the Jilin Shipyard was originally just an operation station used to strengthen the connection between Liaodong Dusi and Nurkan Dusi, but later it gave up and belonged to the Haixi Jurchens.

The current prefecture management also means that Jilin is unlikely to be a front line or a border, but will become a new base for advancing northward.

Sure enough, Mao Wenlong continued: "The promotion goal of this and next two years has been completed, and the next step is to fully cultivate and operate. Two years later, at least three years, I hope that the banner of the Ming Dynasty will fly in Shangjing (now Acheng District, Harbin)....”

Shangjing, once the capital of the Jin Dynasty, but now he has no accurate name. Mao Wenlong called him the old name, and with the emperor's instructions, it immediately made his meaning unusual.
