491, the population of the territory exceeds one million
After Yang Fan received the order, he immediately dispatched a fast horse from the Communications Department to issue the order. He summoned leaders from all aspects to have a meeting early tomorrow morning.
This is Yang Fan's first time playing.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru must go with them, claiming to protect Yang Fan. After all, Yang Fan is not a military commander of this era. He has never practiced. They are very worried.
The children of generals in this era have all been practicing martial arts since they were young. They usually achieve considerable achievements by the age of seventeen or eighteen. But it is not easy to learn when they are older. Because the muscles and bones have been fixed, it is difficult to achieve great achievements.
For example, Liu Ting, a general of this era, was nicknamed "Liu Dadao". He came from a family of generals, and his father was General Liu Xian. He practiced hard kung fu since he was a child.
"History of the Ming Dynasty" praised him as "the bravest among all the generals". He could wield an iron sword of 120 kilograms and spin it like flying. He was known as "Liu Dadao" in the world and was praised by later generations as "the most powerful general in the late Ming Dynasty".
In the Ming Dynasty, one kilogram weighed 600 grams, so this big knife weighed almost 150 kilograms.
Although Yang Fan has never practiced meditation, Yang Fan's one year of meditation has brought about great changes in his body.
His body seemed to have been reshaped, and the proportions of his body were perfect. The eyes of the three ladies who looked at him were filled with brilliance and they were very fascinated.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru are both practicing masters and have excellent physical fitness. If Yang Fan didn't have a few brushes, the three ladies would be enough for him to drink a pot.
His bones are as hard as steel and his muscles are tight. He looks thin because of his clothes, but he is extremely powerful. When exerting force, his muscles bulge and twist into knots, making him very toned.
The nerve endings all over his body have become extremely sensitive, and he reacts very quickly to the surrounding situations. His movements are flexible and as fast as lightning.
His eyesight is even better than that of the master archer An Sanxi. Once he enters a fighting state, many people's movements appear to him to be in slow motion.
One effort can bring down ten levels.
Sometimes he would have sex with Niangpi and Lin Yueru between the beds. In the early days, he was always pushed down and subdued by these two girls, but now it is Yang Fan who restrains them every time and cannot move.
However, after all, he has never experienced martial arts training.
When you go to the battlefield, you have no eyesight, and all kinds of dangers are everywhere.
In addition to the swords and guns that the enemy slashed at, there were also stray stones, flying rocks, fire blunderbuss, artillery, and thrown spears. It was difficult to guard against.
It is also common for the enemy to send people to assassinate the general.
Tu Shanyue immediately mastered kung fu, and Lin Yueru was very good at close combat. They both insisted on protecting Yang Fan, one on the left and the other on the right.
After Lin Yueru married into the Yang family, she was quickly corrupted by the Yang family's luxurious life.
Life in the Yang family was so enjoyable. Lin Yueru found out that she was so greedy for enjoyment.
Now I just want to focus on giving birth to a child for Yang Fan. From now on, the mother will be more valuable than the child, and she will have a lifelong meal ticket.
However, Yang Fan respects women and loves his wife, which is simply an anomaly in the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Yueru has lacked love since she was a child and has never been so pampered in her life. Now she can't leave Yang Fan at all. Yang Fan's embrace makes her feel safe.
When I think of my master leading the troops on an expedition and not being able to see him for a month or two, I feel bad and almost go crazy.
Last night, the two of them acted coquettishly.
He was clamoring to follow him, which kept Yang Fan from sleeping well all night.
Yang Fan considered that his understanding of this era was still limited, and having them by his side would indeed be of great help. He finally agreed.
The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.
In Yang Fan's golden tent, elites from all walks of life gathered together.
Yang Fan sat cross-legged on a platform one foot above the ground, with a seven-fold screen behind him and a couplets in front of him.
Tu Shanyue is kneeling on the left, and Lin Yueru is kneeling on the right.
Yang Fan briefly announced the order of the Fifth Army Governor's Office. Then he officially announced the dispatch of troops outside the pass to raid the Mongolian tribes gathered outside Duolun City and lift the siege of Duolun.
No one was surprised, they knew the master's character very well.
Yang Fan had already burned incense without bothering them. They actually dared to tease the master's beard. They were really looking for death.
Now that I have the authorization from the court, I naturally want to go out and kill them.
"For this patrol, the general planned to bring the following people out of the border: 500 people from the communications battalion commanded by the staff office. 3,600 cavalry from the Jia Ding Regiment. 3,600 cavalry from the Xinghe Regiment. 3,600 vehicle battalion troops from the Hexi Guard Qianhu Station. 3,600 baggage transportation regiment.
People. The general's own barracks: 500 cavalry. Field artillery battalion: 500 artillery. Field machine gun battalion: 500 people. Field grenadier battalion: 500 people. Field engineer battalion: 500 people. Night scout brigade: 300 people. Field hospital: 200 people. Inland river
There are five hundred people in the boat brigade, and the total number of regular soldiers is going out."
After Yang Fan finished speaking, he paused for a moment and took a sip of water. He put down the tea cup and looked at the reactions of everyone below.
This is almost all of Yang Fan's armed forces. In addition to the territorial militia, pirate regiment, marines, and Duolun garrison, basically everything that can be mobilized has been mobilized.
The heads of various departments below were very excited.
They are all responsible for that part. Usually they only know that the master is strong, but they don't know exactly how strong it is.
Today is the first time I heard of a regular military force of nearly 20,000 people.
In this era, many battalion commanders only had 10,000 or 20,000 people under their command. Among them, the main ones who could fight were servants. The servants only had about 3,000 people, which was not as many as the master's regiment.
The master's soldiers are not comparable to the guards and camp soldiers, nor can they even be compared to the servants of the general soldiers.
The master's regular troops do two exercises a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and they also have cultural classes in the evening. They are all literate and can write and do math. These soldiers run five kilometers a day, and their endurance is amazing.
Now in the master's territory, retired soldiers are rushing to get them from various factories.
These soldiers have good physical fitness, are disciplined, obey management, are educated, and are the best workers. Being a soldier is also a good way out.
In Yang Fan's system, being a farmer or craftsman only means good policies, enough food and clothing for the family, and you can also save money.
But if you want to achieve greater development, there are only two ways out: studying, learning skills, and serving as a soldier. Yang Fan's officials, perhaps more appropriately called retainers, are all people who came from these two paths.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yang Fan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he continued: "In addition to the regular army, I also plan to recruit some militia groups as auxiliary troops to be responsible for logistics and transportation. And
Construction of fortifications, camps, cooking, rescue, various labor and other tasks on the battlefield."
The Civil Affairs Department is the agency responsible for all civil affairs in Yang Fan's territory. The director is Song Yingsheng. He is the brother of Song Yingxing, the director of the Construction Department.
Civil affairs is very important, and Song Yingsheng is one of Yang Fan's important subordinates.
"Master, as of the end of last month, according to statistics, there were 100,000 households of domestic slaves in my territory, with a population of 30,000 craftsmen, 72,531 households of tenant farmers, and 72,531 households of tenants. Other merchants
, peddlers, doctors, hundreds of businesses, lowly registered households, miscellaneous households, a total of 1,300 households, with a total population of 1,112,292 people." Song Yingsheng said.
As soon as Song Yingsheng finished speaking, everyone started talking excitedly.
The population in the master's territory has exceeded one million!
This is really exciting. In ancient times, Wanhuhou was already the highest level of fiefdom. Now he has 200,000 households.
Yang Fan, Tu Shanyue and Lin Yueru were also surprised.
There were so many people there without making any noise.
But think about it, in the past two years, the refugees in Beizhili and even the Xuanda area have disappeared. There are even refugees from Shandong and Henan.
Having absorbed so many people, it is not surprising that it exceeds the one million mark.
Xiao Niangpi was overjoyed when she heard these figures. She didn't expect that she was managing such a large family business. In theory, these all belong to the Yang family. She is the head matron, and these are all under her daily management.
In this era, men take charge of the outside and women take charge of the house. No matter how big the family is, the wife is in charge of housework. The master usually takes care of the big things, and the wife handles the daily work.
Lin Yueru's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. He had millions of people, and he was the prince who split the land and sealed the borders in ancient times. That was it.
I thought of the painstaking efforts my adoptive father took to arrange a way out for me, and my eyes became red.
Last time she went to Nagasaki, her adoptive father told her not to keep doing useless things.
If you have nothing to do, think more about how to please Yang Fan.
It is serious to give your husband a child as soon as possible. Without a child, no matter how much power you grab, it will only be a castle in the air and you will make a wedding dress for others.
Lin Yue subconsciously touched her belly and peeked at Tu Shanyue's flat belly. She wondered in her heart that she and Tu Shanyue had worked hard enough. Why was there no movement?
