Chapter 307 Before the expedition

The reason is very simple. In the past, the amount of planting is harvested. It was all from the military town. Where can the military households be left? It is already very difficult to eat enough.

Therefore, the collection of taxes should not be fixed. The increase in the year of good fortune and the reduction in disasters will make the people unable to starve to death. This is the lowest limit of stability.

It is not like Chongzhen or the imperial court. The northwest has caused disasters and no grains are collected, but the taxes are not reduced. The old Jiaoba farmers have forced the rebellion with hoes and sticks to rebel and survive.

"Brother Zhao, when you retire, you can save at least dozens of acres of land, so how can you farm alone?" Guo Dajing used this talk and instigated Zhao Qingshan to start a family as soon as possible.

Zhao Qingshan was helpless. Although he was really excited, he still found an excuse to change the topic.

Accompanied by Zhao Qingshan and others, Guo Dajing inspected the arsenal, and had a meal with the craftsmen in the cafeteria before leaving the arsenal with satisfaction.

In terms of management capabilities, scientific and technological level and production efficiency, the Jinzhou Arsenal has completely surpassed any weapon department in the Ming Dynasty.

The most important factor is that the weapons department of the Ming Dynasty was made up of craftsmen, and the craftsmen were like slaves, without enthusiasm and enthusiasm for work; officials were corrupt, and the materials sent to the craftsmen were of inferior quality and insufficient.

Not only that, Xu Guangqi submitted a memorial to hire Western-Japanese craftsmen and artillery instructors and purchase Red-Japanese cannons. The court was still arguing about the country of the Celestial Empire and the "strange skills and lewd skills".

From top to bottom, the vast Ming Dynasty was as magnificent as a giant, and the interior was full of holes. It was like a decayed pavilion, and the outside was glamorous but was about to collapse.

As he walked, Guo Dajing came to the seaside port without realizing it.

The masts were covered with thick mounds, and more than a dozen large ships were lined up at the dock to load and unload. Basically, they were all ammunition and medicine supplies, and were transported to Pi Island to make sufficient preparations for the war.

There are also naval ships, loaded with red barbarian cannons and mortars, which will provide strong fire cover for the army's landing.

The atmosphere of the war became stronger again, but this time it was the Dongjiang Army's initiative, igniting the war in Liaodong, attacking Jianlu who defended the city.

During the Nanguan battle, since Jianlu was not a comprehensive attack, the main ones were the left and right associations, as well as some positions of the front associations, Kong Youde's rear associations had almost no chance of fighting with Jianlu.

Therefore, the rear association that remained intact has been transferred to Pi Island. In addition, the troops of the three battalions, as well as artillery and cavalry, will have more than 20,000 people participating in the Zhenjiang battle.

"Time flies so fast. The half-month holiday is only five or six days left in a blink of an eye." Guo Dajing stopped his war horse and looked at the busyness of the port and sighed.

Yang Mingli was half a horse head behind and said with a smile: "I feel that I don't have enough time when I'm busy. The adults said it's vacation, but they don't have a few days to relax."

Guo Dajing lightly clawed his head, and it was indeed the case, and it was not a good idea to flatter him.

Originally, he planned to replace the personal soldiers, but Guo Dajing had gradually changed his mind before he found a good person.

Because, including Yang Mingli, the personal soldiers' attitude towards Guo Dajing is becoming more and more awe-inspiring, admiring, and leaving more and more heartbroken.

Especially Yang Mingli, in the contest between Guo Dajing and eunuch Zhao Guang, it obviously made Guo Dajing dissatisfied and he also became enlightened.

In addition, Guo Dajing also gave both kindness and power, so he was not short of money and was often rewarded; and he would never tolerate personal soldiers who committed the crime.

Therefore, the personal soldiers have expanded to more than 40 people, some of the old people have been eliminated, while others have been recruited from the Left Association according to the new standards, all of whom have followed Guo Dajing to go out for battle.

Guo Dajing was still relatively relieved in terms of loyalty. The personal soldiers did not have the name of servants, but the treatment was only higher than that of servants.

"You go home and have a look. You always stay with Guo, and you haven't even enjoyed a day of vacation." Guo Dajing said with a smile: "Each person takes three or two military tickets to buy some things for his family, and don't put on empty hand."

As he said that, he pointed to the shopping mall area in the distance, "There are many rare commercial goods there, which cannot be bought at the supply and marketing stations in the village."

The personal soldiers did not follow them all, and the troops' vacations were also taken in batches, either sooner or later, and the prescribed holidays would always be given.

"Beizhi has already brought something back. Forget it this time, it will be the same if you rest in the future." Yang Mingli said with a smile: "As long as the adults don't dislike you, Beizhi will always be with you."

Guo Dajing waved his hand and said, "You decide for yourself when you will take a vacation. Say it in advance, and you will be sure."

Several personal soldiers agreed with a smile, but none of them immediately proposed to go home.

To be honest, in Jinzhou, Guo Dajing does not need any protection. If there is a real surprise, no one of these personal soldiers can fight better than him.

But being by your side is a must. It will definitely be much more convenient to have personal soldiers if you run around, send a letter, and do something.

"Ren Kebin, go home and see your mother." Guo Dajing turned to look at a personal soldier and said with a gentle voice: "I will get a good ginseng and you can take it back by the way."

Ren Kebin's face showed a touch of emotion, and he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your care, I will leave tomorrow and return the day after tomorrow."

Guo Dajing smiled and said, "Don't be so anxious. Stay with your family more often. There will be five or six days left to board the ship!"

"Yes, I will definitely rush back on time." Ren Kebin bowed again.

Guo Dajing nodded, shook the reins gently, and rushed towards the mall.

…………………………………

The sun shone through the window paper on the kang, and Han Zhong opened his eyes. This was a habit developed in the army and it was difficult to change.

Shuzhen has already sat up and is wearing clothes. This is also her habit. She gets up as soon as she smells the chicken and starts her day's working life.

To cook for the children, to see the rabbits raised, to work in the fields, to make military shoes and socks... The day was very fulfilling and busy.

Of course, Han Zhong was much more relaxed at home. Han Shantong was growing up and was able to share her work more and more.

A pair of powerful arms stretched out from behind, and hugged her into her broad and hot arms amid the "moaning" sounds made by Shuzhen.

Shuzhen just struggled a little, then stopped resisting and lay docilely in the man's arms.

We will return to the team tomorrow, and the holidays will pass so quickly. Shuzhen and Han Zhong both feel this way, and they also want to enjoy the remaining day.

"Don't go to the field today, I'll make delicious food." Shuzhen looked at Han Zhong and said in a gentle voice: "I've returned to the army, it's no better than home."

Han Zhong forced a smile and said, "You eat well in the army, you and the children don't have to be too safe at home."

The special operations camp will use Pi Island as its base and will persist in Liubao, Kuandian, Liaodong for a long time. In other words, it will take at least half a year before it can come back.

For Shuzhen, Han Zhong didn't want to tell her too much. This was not only a military secret, but also made Shuzhen not worry too much about it.

Shuzhen leaned her head against the man's shoulder, letting her rough big hands caress her body, closing her eyes slightly, feeling the close hot temperature.

"The mountain boy has grown up, let him do more farm work." Han Zhong stopped and instructed with concern: "The salary will be distributed on time. You can buy more snacks for Xiao Ya. I used to being hard-working, but now if you have the conditions, let the child be happier."

Shuzhen said "um" and thought about making a few more pairs of socks today to bring them to the man. She also had shoes she made by her own hands.

"The Jianlu must be unable to defeat him. You don't have to worry and live with peace of mind." Han Zhong comforted, "I think it will take a few years to calm down Liaodong..."

The man's voice was ringing in his ears, and Shuzhen could feel the vibration of her chest. This was not the first time she said that, but she liked to hear it and liked the safe and relaxation of snuggling in a man's arms.

There is no need to talk about the great truth. Everyone knows that only by destroying Jianlu can the world be peaceful, and relatives in their families do not have to fight again and live a peaceful and peaceful life.

Countless families are similar. Husbands or brothers are going to go on a war and take away their relatives’ concerns and longing for them.

After experiencing wars, it was finally difficult to stabilize in Jinzhou, with land and food to grow, which was the most gratifying result since the war.

Everyone also knew that only by continuing to fight with Jianlu until they were destroyed can they bring complete stability to their families.

…………………………………

Time flies, and it is time to go to war.

It was a bright morning. Guo Dajing had breakfast with his family, and spoke and smiled earnestly, trying to dilute the loss of separation between his relatives.

"In just one month, I will return in triumph." Guo Dajing brought Axiu and Fujino Ying to the carp and gave Rong'er a piece of meat. "Ten times the enemy's strength will definitely win. Maybe, I can be promoted to deputy general!"

Fujino Hideko smiled and said, "In Dongjiang Town, there are other coach Mao, coach Chen, and coach Guo."

A Xiu forced out a smile and said, "It is naturally good to be promoted, but I just hope you can go and come back soon."

"Okay, go early and come back soon." Guo Dajing reached out and patted his wife on the back, nodding his head vigorously.

The meal is relatively rich, and it is even rare for breakfast. Although Guo Dajing doesn’t eat much, this was prepared by Ah Xiu and Fujino Ei getting up very early.

After dinner, Guo Dajing just took a short rest and got up and set off, "Ship Mao also wants to go with me, so it's not easy for him to wait for me."

Fujino Hide greeted Ah Xiu, but Rong'er was not behind and rushed into the carriage.

I sent my husband to the war, which happened when I was in Hirokashima.

Guo Dajing was a little moved, but did not forcefully refuse, and took his personal soldiers to ride a horse. The family rushed to the port as if they were out for a trip.

On the dock, the navy's warships had already been docked. Not only Mao Wenlong was traveling with Guo Dajing, but also a battalion of the left association of his headquarters.

The third battalion of the Left Alliance, one battalion is in Luangu Pass and the other battalion is in Xiaoheishan, and only one battalion can be drawn out. Only the main personnel can make Guo Dajing more confident, although there are fewer ones.

When he came to the port with his family, he didn't see the more conspicuous carriage of Mao Shen, Guo Dajing breathed a little relieved. Fortunately, he rushed before Mao Wenlong.

In fact, there were many soldiers who had to board the ship and loaded with a lot of ammunition and food. It took almost noon before the fleet could set sail. Time was completely in time.

But Guo Dajing arrived early. A battalion of his troops was preparing to board the ship. He, as the chief officer, should be more beautiful.

"The last general has met the master." Qiu Zhentai, the guerrilla general of the back camp, took several officers to see Guo Dajing and his personal soldiers, and hurried up to meet him.

Guo Dajing dismounted and greeted everyone, and said with a smile: "The Nanguan War has just ended, and I have to work hard for you to fight with a certain expedition."

Qiu Zhentai laughed and said, "What are you saying? Soldiers are fighting on the battlefield, which is a matter of duty. We should thank you more and give you the last generals the opportunity to make achievements."

The troops of the third battalion of the Left Alliance, Liu Xingzhi was considered a confidant general brought out by Guo Dajing himself, Zhang Pan and Qiu Zhentai, and Yu Liangtai were the generals of the Zhudao Town with him.

After the reorganization of the people on each island in Jinzhou, Zhang Pan, Qiu Zhentai and others were willing to surrender to Guo Dajing out of their feelings and their optimism about Guo Dajing.

After experiencing the Xiaoheishan blocking battle, the Nanguan War, and Guo Dajing's bias, the Left Association was already the leader of the four associations in terms of equipment and combat power, and no one dared to doubt it.

Moreover, life in Jinzhou is much better than that in the islands, the families of the generals were well placed, and their official ranks were also promoted. They were more confident in the great achievements of pacifying Liao and destroying the enemy.

This is what Guo Dajing is most proud of, and he tried his best to build Dongjiang Town into a group with erect and uplifting spirits.

If one can prosper and have a bright future, the people's hearts will not be so complex and changeable. On the contrary, the more difficult and difficult it is, the more internal and external difficulties it is, the change in people's minds will not be an unexpected thing.

Of course, with Mao Wenlong in charge, the Dongjiang Army could not be in chaos. The feudal patriarchal system sometimes works very well.

Guo Dajing chatted casually with the generals. The relaxedness before the war also showed the change in the mentality of the soldiers on the other hand.

"This battle is likely to be the time when the earth camp shows its strength." Guo Dajing smiled at the earth camp sentry officer Geng Mingzhan and said, "You have already understood the various situations in Zhenjiang, so you should be sure, right?"

Geng Mingzhan bowed and replied, "Don't worry, sir. Our local camp officers and soldiers not only fully understand the situation, but also conducted many drills, with sufficient preparations and guaranteed no mistakes."

Guo Dajing smiled and nodded, and introduced to the generals: "If the earth camp can succeed, Jianlu will suffer heavy casualties and the attack will be easy. Moreover, the scene is very shocking and beautiful, and you will be eye-opening."

During the battle to aid Korea, Guo Dajing used blasting methods to blew up the city walls and wiped out the defenders.

But this is very different from tunnel blasting, and the scene is also very different. The real tunnel blasting is like a power of a dragon turning over, a sky collapses and a crack in the earth.

If it is just a blow-up of the city wall, it is not the main purpose of Guo Dajing's insistence on using tunnels to blast. Using red cannons or mortars can also achieve the same effect.
