The mobilization of the army must have been hidden from the Tartar scouts. Jiang Wan had never doubted this.
Even among the refugees who came to Zhenjiang Fort, despite being roughly screened, there were definitely spies from Hou Jin among them. Jiang Wan did not expect that the situation in Zhenjiang Fort could be kept absolutely confidential. As long as these spies did not know
Just the specific situation will do.
When it comes to counter-espionage, both Feng Wanli and Xu Jian, who were born in Jinyiwei, and Gao Sheng, who was born in this industry, are all good at it. In the foreseeable future, the Jin people sent to Zhenjiang Fort will
The life of the spies on the side will be very difficult.
The mission to North Korea was led by a doctor from the Ministry of War. After a brief stay at Zhenjiang Fort for two days, it headed directly towards Seoul.
The taste of letting an official from the Ministry of War be the head of this mission is enough for the North Koreans to ponder. In addition, Jiang Wan's business in Tieshan on Ping'an Road is already in Pyongyang. Jiang Wan feels that by the time the mission returns to the Ming Dynasty, North Korea will
The country will probably not point fingers at the people in Dongjiang Town for a long time. Of course, the most likely possibility is that they will continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, waiting to see the two tigers of Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty fighting, and then in between
Both ways.
Even if they suffer a little loss, they will probably still choose this way. This still means that for a long time, the official power of North Korea will not become an obstacle to Jiang Wan. For Jiang Wan, this is enough.
Enough.
After the Nanhai Guards were stationed in Zhenjiang Fort, in addition to daily drills, they also started routine patrols in the surrounding area. With Jiang Wan's tacit approval, this group of soldiers and horses that were originally stationed in the main castle of Zhenjiang Fort,
Their small groups even appeared more than a hundred miles away around Zhenjiang Fort.
During this period, there were naturally many battles with the Tartar scouts, and both sides naturally suffered casualties.
In short, after the beginning of spring, Zhenjiang Fort was building itself while also maintaining frontline combat readiness. Neither the soldiers nor the civilians dared to slack off in the slightest.
After the beginning of spring, the fleet transported a large amount of grain and agricultural tools from the Ming Dynasty. Green fields began to appear around the four auxiliary forts around Zhenjiang Fort. The refugees sowed hope in these lands.
Everyone is looking forward to the day of harvest.
And Dongjiang Town even promised that after the next year's harvest, except for the deduction of rations, half of all harvests will belong to the cultivators. If they harvest in their own fields for three consecutive years, the fields will belong to the cultivators. At that time, the government will
Issue the land deed, which is reasonable and legal.
Such a promise indeed inspires the enthusiasm of the refugees, but most of the refugees do not expect that the land they cultivate will be theirs in three years. What they are even more looking forward to is that half of the harvest when they defend the city next year will be theirs, just because
With this willingness, they sincerely hope that Zhenjiang Fort will always stand here, and the officers and soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort will be able to win every battle and defeat any enemy who comes to invade this land.
"This method can give people hope. Not only the refugees, but our soldiers can also use this method!"
Jiang Wan, Gao Sheng and others had just returned from inspecting the fields. They said with emotion: "Military merit can be rewarded with land. Outside the customs, the most indispensable thing is land. As long as this land becomes one's own, then
We are not afraid that the soldiers will not die, they will defend their place even if they risk their lives!"
"It's not that my subordinates can be so talented!" Gaoxing Sheng said with a smile. Jiang Wan followed his advice and he felt very happy: "It's just that here in Liaodong, the Guanning cavalry does this. A Tatar has five heads.
Acoustic acres of land, for such a price, in exchange for my Ming Dynasty’s cavalry, the combat power will not be inferior to that of the Tartars!”
"Are ordinary soldiers also rewarded in this way?" Jiang Wan asked.
"All I know is that the Guan Ning cavalry are the only ones!" Gaoxing Sheng shook his head: "The Liao people are just guarding the Liao territory. As long as you dare to use this strategy, then the commander will definitely gain a group of people who dare to fight, are willing to fight, and are able to fight.
scholar!"
"In Dongjiang Town, no matter which battalion the soldiers and horses are, they must be rewarded like this!" Jiang Wan nodded: "As long as there are people on the roster who have received military exploits, they will be rewarded according to this standard. A Tatar's
We can still afford a reward of five acres of land per head. If the land is not enough, we will go to the Tartars to grab it. However, if they cannot even hold on to the land they have been rewarded, then we cannot be blamed!
"
"You come up with a complete set of strategies about military merit and rewards, and then show it to me!" Jiang Wan said: "The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. If he doesn't give the soldiers some motivation, how can we fight this battle? Zhenjiang
How to defend the fort!"
Gao Xingsheng nodded. It was normal for him to propose this matter and then let him perfect it. Moreover, this method was not created out of thin air. With Ning Tieqi as a reference, there shouldn't be any big mistakes if he tried to do it.
"Has anyone been sent over from Liaoyang?"
"As soon as the Nanhai camp arrived, they sent people there. Although our Dongjiang Town does not need to be controlled by the governor of Liaodong, we are both soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, so it is necessary to communicate with each other. However, Lu Xiangsheng is new here, and things in Liaoyang don't matter.
Understand, at this time, you probably can’t care less about us!”
"As long as we can communicate with each other!" Jiang Wan nodded: "Maybe in Lu Xiangsheng's heart, I am also one of those domineering warriors. It is normal to ignore us. However, after taking control of the situation in Liaoyang, I will always have to fight with you.
We contacted, our tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are doing nothing here, and they are also a help to Liaoyang. We don't expect them to help us, but we definitely don't want them to mess with us when it comes to certain key things.
hind legs!"
"What the commander said is absolutely true!"
While the two were talking, they slowly walked towards the main castle. Along the way, there were people busy everywhere, soldiers patrolling, and there was a sense of vitality everywhere.
Just as they approached the main castle, they saw a horse galloping out of the main castle. When the knight on the horse saw Jiang Wan and his party, the horse's head came directly towards them. When he was dozens of steps away from Jiang Wan and others,
, the knight jumped off his horse and ran towards Jiang Wan.
"Why are you so anxious!"
Jiang Wan knew the knight in front of him, but he couldn't pronounce his name. He only knew that he was an old subordinate who came from Zhouzhuang. Judging from his clothes, he was now the boss.
"Sir, Sir Xu sent me to report to you that our troops were patrolling about thirty miles away from the city today and captured a group of Tartars alive!"
"Not bad!" Jiang Wan raised his eyebrows: "Xu Jian is also promising, and he can actually catch a group of Tatars alive. This is a bit rare!"
He smiled and asked: "How many people are there in this group? Are our brothers seriously injured or not?"
"More than a dozen, none of our brothers have been harmed!" The general who reported the news had a strange look on his face: "The leading Tatar said he was an envoy sent by the Tatars and wanted to see the Lord..."
