Chapter 65 The cold wind is getting warmer, the dawn is dawning (1)
The people who were almost exhausted in Ponu City did not understand at first that Ponu Army had obviously beaten the Jurchen Tatars in Guangning. Why did Ponu Army win the battle and still give up Guangning City?
Fortunately, Xu Yian reacted quickly enough and sent people to preach everywhere. Although the Jurchen Tartars were defeated, their strength was still above the Ponu Army, and the way back to Shanhaiguan was cut off by the Jurchens. Therefore, they could only evacuate to the safer Ponu City. Only by following the General Zhang, who was invincible in the battle, could their safety be guaranteed.
Thanks to Zhang Ping'an's victory in this great battle, his prestige was high enough. The migrant people were convinced by the achievements of over 30,000 slave-defeating troops and defeating hundreds of thousands of Tartars. In addition, the people were proud of being slaves from the bottom of their hearts as Ming people in the Celestial Empire. After all, no one was born to like being slaves.
The people still have a scale in their hearts. The Ponu Army took them to evacuate, not simply letting them follow. Instead, they set up a free food supply point every twenty miles to ensure that they will not be frozen to death or starved to death. The elderly, weak, women and children have cars to sit in. Compared with the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty, the Ponu Army's evacuation arrangement is a comparison between heaven and earth.
Moreover, the military discipline of the Deslave Army was extremely strict, and along the way, there were hundreds of small troops that maintained military discipline. As long as someone extorted, they would be executed, whether it was a soldier or a gangster. Hundreds of people ran away from the wilderness because of this.
Before Zhang Ping'an could come back from the shock, he saw thousands of people, when he heard the general of the Pou Nu Army, greeting them on the hill, kneeling down at the hill and expressing his gratitude to Zhang Ping'an.
So Zhang Ping'an had to go down the mountain to return the gifts and appease the people. Then he hurried back to Ponu City.
....................................................................................
Zhang Ping'an came to the meeting hall of the General Administration and saw most of the old brothers gathered together. He was very happy, so he smiled and said, "The old brothers are almost there. Wu Tianxing and Zhang Tong went to Xinpo Nucheng to build a city. I was happy to see that you are all safe and sound. Today, I will talk about the agenda first. First, Chen Pear talks about the results of this battle and the casualties of our army. Second, Long Xiucai talks about the materials and the transfer of the people. Third, Mr. Chen arranges the transfer plan to Xinpo Nucheng. OK! Chen Pear talks first!"
Chen Poe immediately stood up, picked up the small tutor, and faced the sand table map: "Master! Our army won this battle! However, the Jurchen Tartars did not really suffer much. After statistics from various troops, the Jurchen Tartars were killed more than 1,300 people and captured 927 people. These Jurchen Tartars, who did not include the battle of Guangning's siege, suffered a great loss. More than 5,000 people were killed and 6,891 people were captured! The Ming surrendered army led by Li Yongfang, more than 6,600 people were killed and 9,350 people were captured. The other 16,000 slaves in the army were being identified."
Zhang Ping'an interrupted at this time: "These people who even their ancestors do not recognize are not from our Ming Dynasty! They will call such people Ming traitors in the future! Their troops will all be called Ming traitors! Okay, you continue!"
Chen Pie continued: "This time Huang Wei's army made the most contribution! He captured the Blue Flag Bele Amin!"
Huang Wei immediately stood up and said modestly: "This is all the clever arrangement of the Grand Marshal. I just had good luck! I happened to meet it!"
Zhang Ping'an smiled and signaled him to sit down, then said, "Don't put gild on my face, I won't ask for these credits! Your credits are yours. Okay, don't interrupt, listen to Chen Pie's speech!"
Chen Poe said: "Our army suffered little losses, with 670 people killed and 2,400 people injured, of which 300 were seriously injured. Thirty-six,800 war horses, 48,500 pack horses, more than 8,000 armors, 25,000 swords of various types, countless bows and arrows and other weapons. More than 13,000 Ming officers and soldiers were identified and rescued. The retreat arrangements were handled according to the command of the commander, and I won't talk about it here!"
Zhang Ping'an nodded, raised his hand, signaled Chen Pie to sit down, and then said, "Long Xiucai, tell me!"
Long Tao stood up and bowed: "Master! You know the material situation in Guangning, so I won't say much. I will just talk about the situation in Xining Fort!"
He saw Zhang Ping'an nodding, and said, "Just just now, Commander Chen said that more than 10,000 officers and soldiers were rescued. In Xining Fort, more than 50,000 people were rescued by us. We seized 48,000 stones of grain, 10,000 cloth, 700 stones of tea, 2,300 stones of salt, 2,000 jin of iron, 5,700 jin of copper, 19,000 jin of silk, 5,000 stones of cotton, 6,700 cows, 84,000 sheep, 16,000 jin of tents, 5,000 taels of gold, and 1,700 taels of silver. There were countless other materials. However, more than 700 artillery were destroyed by the Tartars and could only be used as scrap copper and rotten iron and transported back!"
Zhang Ping'an was a little proud and said with a smile: "I'm a big loss this time! The robber leader, the thing he robbed was robbed by us! I'm happy to think about it! Hahahahaha..."
"I understand it! The most rewarding thing is to intercept the robber!" Zhang Ping'an looked glamorous.
The civil and military officials sitting below basically agreed with Zhang Ping'an's views and even showed infinite admiration at Zhang Ping'an.
Chen Liang stood up at this time and solemnly advised: "Master! I say something unpleasant. We are not the time to celebrate now. If the Master still thinks like this, the Po Slave Army will be in danger!"
After hearing Chen Liang's words, Zhang Ping'an immediately woke up and turned around and walked out of the Shuai Case. He bowed to Chen Liang deeply: "Mr. Chen is right, Ping'an has lost his composure! I hope Mr. I will remind Ping'an at any time in the future and be prepared for danger in times of peace! Please tell me about the arrangements for going to Xinposou City!"
Chen Liang returned the gift to Zhang Ping'an and said, "Master, it's really extraordinary! He is good at accepting advice, and his post is panic!"
Zhang Ping'an smiled bitterly: "Sir, you know that I don't like to be verbally quainted. I won't say anything empty! Let's talk about things seriously!"
Chen Liang was not polite and turned to everyone, "In the past ten days, I have been sorting out various ideas with Dashuo. The Magistrate has a unique idea. The entire plan for the Xinpou City was made by Dashuo City. I have to get the silver medal and I have to bring the sand table of the Xinpou City into it!"
Lu Deyin, who had been prepared, ordered his personal soldiers to remove the old sand table and replace it with a new sand table. Chen Liang picked up the teaching stick and said, "The terrain of Xinpo Nu City, Da Zheng and you commanders are the most familiar. According to Da Zheng's idea, five new cities are built. The center is Bo Nu City! Two cities are built to the west for military farming. The population is expected to be arranged for 150 to 200,000 people. The place is 150 miles long from north to south and 58 miles wide from east to west, which is one of my key points of construction. According to Da Zheng's estimate, 700 to 800,000 mu of fertile land can be reclaimed."
Chen Liang pointed to the sandbank Ponucheng north: "These three places can be reclaimed 500 to 600,000 mu of fertile land, and build a city on the south side of Ponucheng. Not only can we warn the enemy in the south, but we can also cultivate more than 600,000 mu of land! According to the Grand Marshal, these black soils can produce two stones of grain per mu. In this way, the grain supply of Ponucheng and surrounding cities is basically self-sufficient!"
Chen Liang pointed to the east of Ponu City again: "The city is built here, mainly for garrisoning troops. There are 300,000 mu of land that can be reclaimed here."
Chen Liang put away his teaching stick: "The east city is named Dingnucheng, and the Zhang Li and Xu Liang are responsible for supervising the construction. The civil servants are sent 20,000 and the family members are 30,000. Zhang Li is the main official. The south city is named Zhennucheng, which is led by Huang Zhi's army and Zhang Tong's army. It is also 20,000 and the family members are 30,000. Huang Zhi is the main official. The west city is located in charge of Chen Po's general manager named Pingrong City, 30,000 and the family members are 50,000. Chen Po's unit and Huang Wei's unit are stationed. The northwest city is named Rongcheng, 40,000 and the family members are 70,000. Wu Tianxing's unit and Xu Zhen's unit are stationed, and Wu Tianxing is the main official. Seventy miles north of Po Nu City, build a fort, and is stationed in Guangcai's unit! The personal camp of the Po Nu City, Hu Ming's unit and Liu Chong's unit are stationed!"
Zhang Ping'an saw that everyone knew his defense zone well, so he said, "This is just a preliminary plan and may change according to the latest situation. Each department will build a house first, then reclaim the land, and finally build a city. Craftsmen with special craftsmanship will not participate in building the city! We strive to start the full construction in April! The most important thing is to reclaim the land. Now we have more cattle, so we can try to use more cattle."
