Chapter 1575 North and South

Han Tong was from Datong, Shanxi. In his early years, he followed Zhang Han and then went to Pidao and presided over the Tianjin Port. No matter how many dealings he had with people from the south, he felt a little unfamiliar, unlike his colleagues who were also from the Xuanfu family in Datong. Now Shi Daxuan and others have such a statement, and they also saw that Hutchison suddenly encountered difficulties. Instead, they needed subordinates to express their inner loyalty. Only by giving such colleagues can they create a true sense of intimacy.

Many people from the Hutchison Army who were present showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

These southerners have a difficult accent. Except for a few people who can speak a single word of official words, most people have to make it difficult to guess. They are short, black and thin, and they look very smart, but there is a very obvious and smart look in their eyes, which makes people a little difficult to get close to.

Now the people coming from the south expressed their complete loyalty to Zhang Han, and even the Emperor of Ming Dynasty said something that even the Emperor of Ming did not recognize him. It was much more determined than those from Xuan Da. Although he felt a little ruthless, the staff from the northern Hutchison Army were quite happy to hear it. Many people nodded and began to hand over cigarettes to their colleagues coming from the south. Everyone held umbrellas and ignited the fire with a lighter. The tobacco was also boxed cigarettes, and the feeling of closeness became even stronger.

Seeing this, Han Tong smiled and said to He Bin whispered: "When Lin Danhan was just taken down, many people were worried about attacking the Ming Dynasty. Everyone was very conflicted. They wanted Lord Zhang to take another step and make his family a country, but they also felt that it was a bit unrighteous to attack the Ming Dynasty. After all, the emperor was the emperor and did not lose his morality. Now, his spirits are different. After being wronged, everyone is much sadder than if they are wronged."

He Bin nodded, took a sip of cigarettes, and sprayed them in the thin rain curtain. He looked at the Tianjin model soldiers who sealed the Hutchison warehouse and said slowly: "Only after being suppressed and angry, everyone will understand that Hutchison is one now. Lord Zhang's career is our career, and Lord Zhang's honor and disgrace are our honor and disgrace..."

"Yes." Han Tong had already written an emergency report while standing. After taking it, a military intelligence officer took it and put it in an iron tube in person, sealed it with fire paint, and then turned around and left.

"Report to the grassland first." Han Channel: "Sun Zhengshi will handle it, either report it to Lord Zhang or break it by yourself."

He Bin understood and asked in a low voice: "I heard that most of the military and political affairs are now being processed by Lord Sun?"

"Mr. Sun actually became the prime minister." Han Tong said frankly: "He is mostly responsible for military and political affairs, while the specific military affairs are decided by the Privy Council. The Privy Council handles all matters such as garrison and dispatch."

The military and political division are separated, the Privy holds part of the military power, the Political Affairs Hall controls the daily life, and the army has further sorted out. Zhang Han has done these things before leaving. Now everyone is basically used to Sun Jingting to handle most of the government affairs. As for the Privy, Liang Xing is the one who presided over the Privy. Wang and Liang are the two. Wang Changfu has returned to Li Zhuang to preside over the situation, and when the overall situation is decided, he will return to Qingcheng or Zhongdu to continue to hold martial arts lecture schools. Zhang Han has already talked with Wang Changfu very clearly. With Wang Changfu's age and qualifications, he can only be the head coach in any direction. However, Wang Changfu has left the front line to lead troops for several years. In this situation, not to mention the suppression and punishment of Wang Changfu at the time, even if this is not the case, Wang Changfu is not very suitable to return to the front line to lead troops.

In presiding over the military academy, Wang Changfu did not personally give lectures, but instead brought out his years of experience in the border army and was responsible for daily management.

Liang Xing had been leading troops on the front line to guard the marching department in the Shangyi Fort area. After the establishment of the Privy Council, it was natural that Liang Xing was the first official envoy.

Like a political official, one term is for five years, and at most two Privy Councillors are served.

Ten years later, Liang Xing was nearly fifty years old. He could choose a free job and work for a few years, or retire directly, and enjoy the blessing of the great blessings in the forest.

Of course, if Hutchison and the Ming Dynasty were still in fierce battle ten years later, Liang Xing could return to the front line to lead his troops, not impossible.

He Bin has read a lot of books in recent years and is getting deeper and deeper. He likes to think about it before expressing his opinions when encountering problems. But at this moment, he still couldn't help but say: "Mr. Zhang is not only wise but also has a broad mind."

"Actually, it's true." Han Tong also looked respectful.

Zhang Han has always said that he values ​​the power of the prime minister, and the central government and local governments are dualized. Various central government departments implement refined management of local governments, requiring strong figures to operate central affairs. At the same time, local officials and central officials can be interchanged with each other. People who have been prime ministers can also become county magistrates, and those who are county magistrates can also become prime ministers.

Seeing the soldiers of Tianjin Fubiao camp entering the port one after another, Han Tong and He Bin couldn't help but sneer first and then shake their heads.

These model soldiers are mostly thin and pale, thin and thin... This is not an exaggeration. The food of the battalion has always been insufficient, and black, rotten and moldy is inevitable. The food distributed in a month is not enough for soldiers to eat. According to regulations, lard and salt must be distributed. In addition to grain, each military town will also send grain management doctors to urge the people of all regions to transport grain and various materials to the military town. The soldiers prepare the data, and the doctors are responsible for making up for it. The civil servants’ system of purchasing military funds is inefficient. In Ming Dynasty, there are many memorials that the local governor accused the grain management doctors of being unable to be responsible, and even the records of direct lawsuits between the governors and the Ministry of Revenue. These civil servants are responsible for military logistics and cannot meet the needs of the military. The financial difficulties of the court are on one hand, and officials in various places are not responsible at all.

In terms of Zhese, there are few military towns that have enough money, including Liao Town. Yuan Chonghuan took office in Liao Town again for the second time. Chongzhen gave him 500,000 taels to start military funds. It can be seen that Liao Town is also a big arrears, but Liao Town is too important. From Wanli to Tianqi Chongzhen, he didn't dare to arrears the military funds of Liao Town.

The color of the fold is not enough, and the true color is not enough. The grain, oil, rice and flour are never enough. The cloth that is required to change military robes regularly for soldiers is not available at all. The battle jackets worn by many soldiers are passed down by their grandfathers or even their grandfathers. It is really 30 years and 30 years of sewing and repairing. It is not news that a military jacket has been worn for more than half a century.

How different is such an army from beggars?

Seeing these soldiers wearing beggars, with decayed weapons in their hands, pale and thin faces, and a little swaying when walking, the contempt on their faces of He Bin and others was quite obvious.

The people in southern China were respected by the boat troops. Although Fujian's land military equipment was very bad, the Yu family's Yu still received the support of many coastal guards. When Yu Zigao was the general of Fujian, the Fujian Navy still had hundreds of ships and more than ten thousand soldiers.

Judging from the record of fighting bloody battles in Penghu and driving away the Dutch, there is no need to say much about the combat effectiveness of the Fujian Navy.

People who have been on the sea all year round, even the navy officers and soldiers have a strong aura. Moreover, if they do not practice at the sea, they will lose their lives. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the garrison are still enough to dominate the sea. This is because the military preparations have never been abandoned.

When the imperial court had no money, the navy was disbanded. Many naval officers and soldiers lingered as thieves at sea. Later, Zheng Zhilong was recruited to be rampant at sea for many years, but he had no land pattern and ambitions, which was also the shortcomings of the southerners.

In any case, Tianjin is only more than 100 miles away from the capital, but Tianjin Fubiao camp soldiers are like this. He Bin and others are understandable.

Han Tong never stopped the actions of these soldiers. The orders of the court did not have much to do with the local government. Otherwise, the relationship between martial arts and the Muji Records would not have been the same today.

Wu Zhiwang's words and attitude were not polite, but in fact he still left room.

If the most important goods that Hutchison just recorded had not been removed from the loading truck, the people from Tianjin Fubiao rushed over, and Han Tong had no choice but to turn against him on the spot.

Everyone is eating dumplings with muteness, and they know what they know.

The Hutchison Convoy had already come and waited. When the Fumo soldiers sealed the port, the merchants escorted the car looked at each other coldly, and the contempt in their eyes was very obvious.

There are less than 300 merchant troops in the port and on the ship, but if you give orders, how many rounds can you fight in front of you?

Within a quarter of an hour, the Shang army was confident that they would disarm all of these guys!

In the drizzle and slanting wind, He Bin and others bowed to say goodbye to Han Tong. Although the Tianjin Port was sealed, Han Tong still had to stay to take care of him. He Bin and others met with the previous Taiwanese people according to their itinerary. Everyone had something to do, so they bowed to leave after meeting, which was quite free.

"Can the Military Office really have a way?" A thin black man in the crowd of the Taiwan Marine Office said with a skeptical look: "This time the court seems to have made up his mind. I think it's so difficult for us to continue north."

"There may not be any solution." A rough man said: "The people in the north are unhappy in their work. Apart from Lord Zhang, I don't think there are any capable people."

"Fuck it, slut." Another man was unhappy and said, "Don't you recognize him, Lord Sun? Haven't we all seen him when we went back to Taiwan for a tour?"

After being refuted like this, the two of them started talking without saying a word, but the suspicion on their faces was still quite obvious.

Taiwan is now the dominant Hutchison family, and the Dutch are only lingering. As the court dissolved the navy, many of the former garrison naval personnel along the coast of Fujian were sucked by Hutchison. Zheng Guochang also cooperated quite well. Yu Zigao had no choice but to leave the house behind closed doors to thank guests and stay out of the matter.

The entire coastal areas of Fujian have fallen under the control of Hutchison. As Xu Xinsu and other great heroes and silk merchants turned to Hutchison due to the Dutch retreat, they pulled out the radish and brought out the mud. No big maritime merchant in Fujian and Zhejiang can compete with Hutchison.

After the naval battle with the Dutch, the strength of the Hutchison Navy increased greatly. Several large warships were captured and they had been restored and re-launched. Several large schooners went into the sea. The entire strength had steadily suppressed the Dutch. Some sailboats were built near the sea to patrol back and forth. It was impossible for foreign ships to escape and be re-issued in a safe manner. The entire Fujian and Zhejiang waters were completely controlled by the Taiwan Marine Department.

Such strength not only surpasses the East India Company in the Netherlands, but also gradually forms an overwhelming advantage over the Spaniards in Luzon, Malacca and Portuguese, as well as small countries such as Champaign and Champaign.

The peak that Zheng Zhilong reached only more than ten years later was that he had more than 100,000 subordinates and thousands of warships, controlled more than half of the trade with Japan, and competed with the Dutch.

The Taiwan Marine Department is now fully independent and can attack Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi at any time. As long as you are willing, you can sweep the southern provinces within half a year.

With such strength, everyone is very confident. This time, two groups of people went north to the north, and there were many people who were not convinced in their hearts. Unlike the southerners who had been to the north, many Fujian people had never left their homes, and their knowledge was also maritime power. They did not have a deep understanding of the power on land and had no understanding of Hutchison's overall strength. They were just told to be loyal to Zhang Han since they joined Hutchison, so they still had some fear and obedience to Zhang Han. For the senior management of the military commander Sun Jingting and Li Shenming, they were not as convinced as Chang Wei and Zhang Xuwen. Many people even felt that the Taiwan Marine Command was the real talent, and the development speed of the Taiwan Marine Command was far higher than that of the north.
