[Chapter 285] Militarized treatment method

(0285)

Some of these Han slaves have been captured by the Tartars for at least thirty years. The land of their homeland has long been blurred in their minds. The hometown, hometown, and homeland are getting farther and farther away from them. Even if they were dreaming, they did not expect that in their lifetime, they could still return to Ningxia Town and the embrace of Ming Kingdom. How could this not make them excited? How could they not cry?

All the households in the management committee were fully prepared for the reactions of the captured military households. Under the organization of the management committee, more than 500 strong women carried a large amount of food and were stationed in the barracks of the White Army. On the one hand, they comforted the suffering people and gradually let them accept the facts in front of them. On the other hand, they prepared clear water, ginger soup, food and clothing for them. If there were serious injuries on their bodies, they had to report to Doctor Dong to coordinate the treatment immediately.

When these captured military households were released, none of them had good clothes. The best conditions were to be worn, and they were wearing a piece of broken sheepskin. Almost all their hands and feet were frozen and cracked. This was the weather at the end of December, which was purely 39 days. At night, the cold wind was biting and there was not enough clothing, so people would definitely freeze to death.

At this time, hot ginger soup is always the most popular. The management committee prepared a large amount of ginger soup and distributed it to each military household that was put back. After a bowl of ginger soup, most of the military households felt a hint of warmth. Some people exhaled a lot of white air. If the ginger soup was not good, they could only send out high-concentration white wine.

When the board of directors rescued the military households, the White Army was supervising the departure of the Tatars. After the hostage exchange between the two sides, the Tatars' cavalry evacuated one after another. They seemed to have subconsciously forgotten the Balagencang, who was captured by Xu Xingxia. Paroge did not mention it, and Sobud did not mention it, so Gugler naturally would not mention it. It seemed that nothing had happened before, and there was no Balagencang.

When the last Tatar cavalry disappeared into the vast Gobi Desert, all the captured military households finally believed that they were indeed rescued and that they were indeed freed from the cage of the Tatars. From then on, they no longer had to be punished by the Tatars. They would think of the miserable life before, and their tears couldn't help but flow down. Some people even knelt down to the fluttering golden dragon dance flag, muttered silently, and prayed devoutly, and didn't know what their hearts were praying for.

The soldiers in the white-clothed army next to them were also deeply touched. Many of the slaves who were put back held the white-clothed army and were grateful to them. Their heartfelt thanks were beyond words. This feeling of doing good deeds is indeed great. They like this feeling so much. At the same time, they deeply admire Xu Xingxia.

If Xu Xingxia hadn't led them, how could they have the chance to save the slaves from the Tatars? Maybe even they were kidnapped by the Tatars. In the hands of the Hellejin tribe, there were probably about 30,000 Han slaves, and they all hoped that they could be rescued back at the right time.

"Don't doubt everyone, you are indeed back! I promise in the name of Qianhuobao, Zhenshuobao, that you will no longer need to worry about the threat of the Tartars! From now on, you can stand and be a human being!" Xu Xingxia announced with great enthusiasm.

"Master Qianhu!" The military households shouted at the same time.

They didn't think that Xu Xingxia was so angry that she was not doing things well because of Xu Xingxia. On the contrary, after witnessing all the experiences today, they had only one word of their feelings for Xu Xingxia, that is: obedience! From the heart, they admired the Tartars from the bottom of their hearts. If they have the ability to intimidate the Tartars to such a level, they would probably never find a second one in Ningxia Town, or even in the world! With such a thousand-household master, they will definitely have a future!

"Brothers..." Chen Denglong, who was in charge of the board of directors, immediately represented Xu Xingxia and the Houqianhu Office of Zuotunwei, and explained in detail the arrangements for the captured military households. Now, these slaves can no longer be called slaves. They are all military households in Zhenshuobao, and are military households in the Houqianhu Office of Zuotunwei, Ningxia. They have exactly the same power as other military households and can obtain the same resources. Of course, they must also bear the same obligations as other military households. In essence, they are still military households and must accept the constraints of military orders.

Because they are all military households, they must accept the constraints of military orders and obey orders. Therefore, Xu Xingxia completely adopts a militarized approach to dealing with these people. He must obey orders and obey commands. He must do whatever you arrange to do, and there is no room for bargaining. Otherwise, it is a violation of military orders. Unless it is your condition, it is indeed not suitable to do this. However, there will definitely be no such examples.

The military households had no objection to Xu Xingxia's order. They would not forget their essential identity. In fact, they were overjoyed to be able to return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty. As for what kind of work they would do and what kind of errands they would do after they came back, they had no special ideas.

More than 20,000 people can be invested in the army, farms, craftsmen's workshops, or firing cement, firing red bricks, cutting wood, and even creating steel. With sufficient labor, it is possible to produce ten or even twenty sun and moon guns every day.

If the output of Sun and Moon guns can be increased to thirty per day, it will be no problem to deal with nomadic people. The lethality of rifled rifles on nomadic cavalry is absolutely terrifying. There are tens of thousands of musketeers equipped with Minnie guns, even if they encounter tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry, with the cooperation of the chariot battalions and artillery battalions, they can easily break the opponent's backbone with the cooperation of the chariot battalions and artillery battalions. Ten thousand musketeers fired volleys and killed hundreds of nomadic cavalry at one time.

Under the leadership of Xu Xingxia, more than 20,000 military households were transferred from Zhenyuan Pass to Heishan Camp and Zhenshuobao. There were so many military households in Heishan Camp and Zhenshuobao, and it suddenly became lively. When night fell, a large number of torches burned, as if they wanted to completely illuminate the horizon. Because the number of military households was too large, more than 20,000 people, Zhenshuobao could not accommodate them all, and the wider Heishan Camp had to be put into use.

Originally, the design of the Heishan Camp could accommodate at least 50,000 people. After expansion, it would be no problem to accommodate about 100,000 people. Therefore, most of the military households were arranged to spend the night in the Heishan Camp according to the original plan. Before, the management committee mobilized some labor force to repair the Heishan Camp to a certain extent, and there was no problem to spend the night for the time being.

On a cold winter night, the biggest problem is how to keep warm. If there are not enough quilts at night, the military households will burn as much bonfire as possible. They gather in groups of three or five to keep warm. Anyway, there is some wood in Helan Mountain. The cut-off wood and branches and leaves cut from the wood can be burned.

"It's time to eat!"

Xu Xingxia's order came soon.

The first supper after the military households came back was a large amount of stewed horse meat. These horse meat were the corpses of war horses pulled back from the battlefield at the end of the Zhenyuan Pass. After the battle with Gugler, the Tatars left hundreds of dead war horses and hundreds of injured war horses on the Gobi Desert outside Zhenyuan Pass. The people in charge of the affairs department sent people to pull all these war horses back, cut off the horse meat, marinate them with salt to set aside.

In winter in Ningxia Town, the temperature is relatively low, so it is quite convenient to preserve horse meat. Now, the stockpiled horse meat is carried out in large pieces and put into large iron pots one by one, and stewed slowly. For a time, the entire Heishan Camp was filled with the air of the strong stewed horse meat. Then, a large amount of white rice and a large amount of white flour steamed buns were transported over. The hungry military households finally had a full meal.

In terms of heating, Xu Xingxia asked Liu Guangliang and others to design a coal stove and gradually promote it. This coal stove is the common honeycomb coal stove in later generations. There are a large number of coal mines in Helan Mountain, and there were some mine pits in the late Ming Dynasty, the most famous of which is Taixi Coal. Taixi Coal means coal produced in Taixi Town (i.e. Ningxia Town). The main production area of ​​Taixi Coal is Shizuishan City in later generations. The jurisdiction of this Shizuishan City happens to be Xu Xingxia's current jurisdiction, which is near the Dalukou.

Taixi coal has the characteristics of three lows (low ash, low sulfur, low phosphorus), and six highs (high calorific value, high specific resistance, high block coal rate, high chemical activity, high precision coal recovery and high mechanical strength), and is the best quality coal in China. At that time, the coal processing technology was relatively backward, and these naturally high-quality coals were exactly what Xu Xingxia needed the most. At the same time, the bottom layer buried by Taixi coal was still very shallow, and it was not difficult to mine.

Dig out the Taixi coal, mix it with the yellow mud in a certain proportion, and then it becomes primitive honeycomb coal. Putting these honeycomb coals into the stove is an excellent heating tool. A coal stove of three or five people is enough to keep warm. On a cold winter night, only three coal balls are enough. The cost is almost negligible.

In fact, every time Xu Xingxia saw that the quality of Taixi coal was used for heating, it was a pity for Xu Xingxia. This is the best industrial fuel! There is no other place. If possible, it is still necessary to use all of these Taixi coals in the industry. It is a pity to burn it out like this. Unfortunately, the industry in the late Ming Dynasty was not very developed and there were no good projects for the time being. After thinking about it, it seemed that only the blast furnace for steelmaking could be considered.
