Early the next morning, Yang Fan's back and legs ached, and he had two big black circles under his eyes. He mumbled, "These two girls are crazy. They have been so tormented all night that they didn't have a good rest."
In the morning, they were both in good spirits, looking as fresh as spring grass after being soaked in the sun and rain.
During dinner in the morning, the little girl acted coquettishly and let me tie the napkin. Lin Yueru also asked the master to wipe her mouth. Yang Fan had no choice but to fulfill their wishes.
After breakfast, Yang Fan gave the order and the whole army broke camp and returned to Duolun City. When he arrived in Duolun City, Yang Fan convened a meeting of officials at all levels to summarize Duolun's work during this period and make arrangements for the future.
He also announced that a civilian official would be appointed to take charge of civil affairs work. A delegation of hundreds of officials will be arranged to participate in the management of institutions at all levels.
From now on, military control in Duolun City will be ended, military and political affairs will be completely separated, and the administration will officially be on the normal track.
Huang San was officially appointed as Duolun's first garrison commander. In charge of Duolun city defense matters. The infantry regiment will later be expanded to become the Duolun Infantry Division.
There are two regiments under it, and Huang San is appointed as the division commander. Awarded the rank of Major General of the Army. An Sanxi was appointed commander of the cavalry corps.
Awarded the rank of Lieutenant General in the Army. An Sanxi was very excited. He was the first person in the Laoye system to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
The highest military rank previously granted to the Second Lady was only an Army Major General. And everyone knows that the second lady also has this military rank.
No matter how much contribution she makes in the future, she will not be promoted again. After all, the intelligence department will not be too high-level.
The cavalry corps consists of three divisions. Als, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, was stunned. It has jurisdiction over Baiyin, Tumut, and two cavalry regiments.
The commander of the Silver Cavalry Regiment was stunned. Tubman, the commander of the Tumut Cavalry Regiment, and Mu Qinglu, the deputy commander. Che Xiaolin, commander of the Second Cavalry Division.
There are two cavalry regiments, Haraqin and Duoyan. Han Wu, leader of the Haraqin Cavalry Regiment. Su Tong, leader of the Duo** Corps.
Wang Peng, commander of the Third Cavalry Division. There are two cavalry regiments, Taining and Fuyu. Hu Dan, commander of the Taining Cavalry Regiment.
Wang Hao, leader of the Fuyu Cavalry Regiment. The engineering battalion will be expanded into an engineering regiment, headed by Hou Shengwu. The reconnaissance battalion will be expanded into a reconnaissance regiment, headed by Wang Hao.
After all arrangements were made, Yang Fan took the two ladies back to the new city by steamer. An army of more than 20,000 people will return by land.
This time Yang Fan took away the Dragoon Regiment. Dragoon regiments are not organized in the cavalry corps. Because the Dragoon Regiment is an officer training regiment.
It is used to train cavalry officers. The thirty-man cavalry squad that originally sent troops with An Sanxi now has the best leaders as regiment leaders.
Some of them also became battalion commanders. The Dragoons had stayed on the grasslands for too long. Although training and learning were an important part of actual combat, they also needed to receive formal military school education.
Therefore, as soon as the war ended, Yang Fan took them back. The regular soldiers who left the customs this time, together with 10,000 militiamen, and the dragoon regiment formed a large group and marched back to Zunhua by land.
The required military supplies are transported in caravans with a capacity of 7 tons. Yang Fan led his own camp of five hundred cavalry and boarded the ship directly, one step ahead.
Went back first. Yang Fan was impatient with the slow land march. It would take ten days on land to return to his territory.
After all, the infantry and militia had to take care of their walking speed. Considering their physical condition, they couldn't walk too fast.
The militiamen must go back as soon as possible, because although the summer harvest is over, the inside of the pass is no better than the outside. We still need to plant winter wheat.
There is a lot of farm work when I go back. During this expedition, the master promised to provide hybrid wheat seeds and guano fertilizer to every household of the militiamen participating in the war.
I heard that with this kind of wheat, combined with the guano fertilizer provided by the master, the yield per mu can be increased from more than 100 points now to about 300 kilograms.
For a time, all the militiamen participating in the battle were beaming. These new wheat seeds and fertilizers are limited and can only be provided to these soldiers participating in the war.
As for soldiers who died in battle, in addition to their families receiving high pensions, their wives can continue to apply for military pay at an 80% rate until their husband's retirement age.
The money was used to support his wife and children. At the same time, one son can be arranged to be a civil servant or attend a military academy.
The soldiers are very satisfied with such a good pension, and everyone has no worries.
Yang Fan asked them to walk slowly. Now the grassland has become no man's land except for Duolun. I won’t waste time with them.
At this time, Yang Fan changed into home clothes and chatted comfortably with Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru in his passenger ship.
Going down the river, the steamboat is very fast. It takes one day and one night to reach Zunhua, and another half day to Xincheng.
This time Yang Fan took the steamboat directly to Jizhou with the towed canal and passenger ships, then turned to the North Canal and entered the Grand Canal.
Then arrive at Tongzhou and turn into Tonghui River. Two days later we arrived at Chaoyangmen. After entering the Great Wall, the cold air on the grassland could not pass due to the barrier of the Yanshan Mountains.
The temperature immediately rose. The passenger ship opened the window, and the three of them sat cross-legged on the floor, looking out the window.
In the golden autumn season, the scenery near Yanshan is very beautiful, and chestnuts and peaches are ripe. Persimmons are also hanging on the branches.
"The people of the Ming Dynasty still have too few means of making a living. Look at the wild walnuts, chestnuts, and persimmons all over the mountains and plains. Processing them makes money. Now that the threat from the Mongols has been resolved, the people can safely develop the resources in these mountains. ." Yang Fan said.
"Yes, sir, the persimmons you made last year were so delicious. I ate them all winter long. Why don't the people in these mountains know how to make them? If they knew how to make them, they would definitely be able to sell them for a lot of money. This Things are easy to store and transport, what a great business." Xiao Niangpi said.
Seeing that she still swallowed her saliva, Yang Fan smiled fondly. Touch her head. What Xiao Niangpi means is, I want to eat persimmons, handsome guy.
I’m also going to make persimmons this year. Lin Yueru came late last year, and the persimmons were divided between Xiao Niangpi and Mei Xiang.
I ate it once later and found it to be delicious. After some hard talk, I got a small wooden box from Mei Xiang.
"Master, I also want to eat persimmons. You forgot to give me the quota last year." Lin Yueru said with a pout.
"It's easy to say, let's buy more this year. The threat of the Mongols is gone. We can mobilize the people to go into the mountains to pick. We can buy more and give the people an income. This year is the fourth year of drought. Except for our own territory , the situation is really terrible." Yang Fan sighed.
"Master, if we let the acquisition go, Yanshan will be full of chestnuts, persimmons, and walnuts. We won't be able to eat them all." Xiao Niangpi said worriedly.
She also agreed in her heart to provide relief to the victims in Beizhili. If there was no income, she didn't know how many victims would die of freezing and starvation this winter.
Moreover, as news of the good people in Zunhua spread, in the past two years, even victims from Shandong and Henan have fled here.
"Let go of the acquisition. Persimmons can be made into persimmons, which can be sold in Xinghe Supermarket or shipped to the south for sale. I plan to train a group of victims to roast walnuts and sugar-roasted chestnuts and send them to various places in Ming Dynasty. Go to the cities, one family in each city, and start setting up stalls of roasted seeds and preserved fruits. If you can arrange some people to find employment, it can be regarded as mitigating the disaster.
