Chapter 254: Single Musketeer?

After entering the Governor's Mansion, the family reunion and talked, it was naturally a joy to be impressed.

The family sat around him, and Huang Laifu talked about the battle of the court. Everyone was fascinated by the news and was amazed. Although there were many legends about the battle of the court, Huang Laifu said it in detail and truthfully.

Huang Laifu also asked about the five villages and forts. He was generally calm. Everyone performed their duties and worked together, just to make the five villages and forts well. It was just that the girls couldn't avoid the longing for Huang Laifu.

There are also some sons of Huang Laifu, who have all studied at Wuzhaibao Academy.

That night, the palace held a banquet to welcome Huang Laifu. The guests at the banquet were full of congratulations, showing the momentum of the Huang family as high as the sun.

A happy drink, Huang Laifu rested after the banquet, and Huang Laifu slept particularly sweetly that night.

When Huang Laifu got up the next day, he went to the Huang Family Ancestral Hall to worship. Near the ancestral hall, the court had specially built two archways to commend Huang Laifu's contribution to the Korean War.

The archways are called the Governor's House and the Lady of the Decree. They are both stone carvings with four columns, three rooms, five floors, and many ridges of granite. Each one is about ten meters high, nine meters wide, and about three meters deep. They are carved with patterns such as "Dan Feng Xing Yang", "Two Dragons Playing with Beads", "Lion Rolling Hydrangea", "Fish Dragon Change", "Qilin and Phoenix".

The Governor's Office Letter: "I awarded the title of Huang Laifu, the military affairs of the two towns of Datong, Shanxi, Ronglu Dafu!"

The wife of the imperial decree wrote: "I commend and honor the wife of the first-rank wife of the right governor of Ronglu, Huang Laifu, and the wife of the first-rank lady, the wife of the first-rank, Gu!"

Both archways are majestic and majestic. After the archway is completed, it has become the pride of the local military and civilians of Wuzhai Fort. When talking about the grand occasion of that day, everyone talked about it with relish.

Surrounded by the family, Huang Laifu also visited the two archways with great enthusiasm. Looking at the letter on the Governor's archway, Gu Yunniang's face shining with a radiant look beside him, he couldn't help but sigh that from the promotion of Xiaoqianhu ten years ago to the current Governor, this achievement may be incredible to ordinary people.

In the following days, Huang Laifu just rested in the Governor's Mansion, leaned on Hong Yicui, and the soldiers under his command also had a few days off. However, countless people were still paying attention to him every day, and Huang Laifu ordered the gatekeeper to stop him.

...

Five days later, Huang Laifu came to rest and recruited a group of generals and staff members in the fort to discuss matters at the Governor's Office.

Early that morning, in front of the Governor's Office, there were three steps and five steps, and there were elite guards wearing iron armor. The three departments in the office were waiting for Jiang Dazhong, Yang Xiaolu, Su Dong'an, He Ruzhen, Gu Shibao, Yang Anzhang, Jiang Yongsheng, Li An, Li Cheng, Han Bing, He Chaoxun, Liu Tianlu, Qu Yuanrui and other large groups of staff and generals inside and outside the fort.

Outside the hall, there were all kinds of flag officials, drummers, drummers and other attendants. Everyone was dressed in a clean clothes, waiting for Huang Laifu to arrive.

Just like the Sansi Department of the Governor's Office in each town, Wuzhai Fort also set up the Sansi Department of the Governor's Office. In the future, the various government orders in Shanxi Town and Datong Town will be issued, rewards and punishments, and the dispatch of troops in the town, receiving laws, and offering sacrifices will be discussed here.

This place has become the power center of the two towns in the future.

Huang Laifu was promoted, and his subordinates were naturally promoted together. Huang Laifu served as the governor and had the right to recommend his posts and the Ministry of War would generally not refute. Many generals who were originally working in the fort might expand their power in the future and take charge of many local affairs in the two towns.

Moreover, Huang Laifu governed the two towns with great power. In addition to the annual visit to Beijing and the annual supervision of the inspector's censor, he was the one who was in charge of the affairs of the two towns, which was just enough to achieve great success. Everyone assisted Huang Laifu and could do his best to learn from his chest.

Thinking of this, how can we not let everyone smile happily?

Everyone sat on both sides, looking at each other, with their eyebrows and eyes moving, just waiting quietly for Huang Laifu to come.

Soon, under the guidance of the flag-plaque guard, Huang Laifu rode his horse and entered the official office with great enthusiasm under the escort of his personal soldiers. As soon as he appeared in the Sansi Hall, everyone rose up and bowed to Huang Laifu together: "I have met the Governor!"

Huang Laifu sat down in the middle of the hall, smiling and said, "Let's sit down, we'll invite you to come today, just plan some affairs of the Governor's Office in advance, and you don't need to be too serious, just sit down."

Although Huang Laifu has been appointed as the governor of the military affairs, food and salary officer of the two towns, the specific affairs need to be carried out until September, and the governors and soldiers of the two towns have sorted out their documents and handed them to themselves before they can start their work.

And not only that, by September, Huang Laifu will also recruit Shanxi Town and Datong Town. All the civil servants who are ruling soldiers and prefects or above, and all the guerrilla generals and generals of the military come to Wuzhai Fort to discuss government affairs. At that time, he will have a series of arrangements.

Everyone looked at each other and sat down easily.

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "While I was promoted to Governor, I would certainly not forget the support of my colleagues, so that Huang's present day will be achieved. When the promotion and wealth will be made, you don't have to worry about this. By September, the generals of military governors from all over the country will come to Wuzhai Fort to discuss matters. Everyone needs to welcome the arrival of this grand event with the best spirit. Don't lose the face of my general town!"

Of course, everyone knew that Huang Laifu was a person who would not forget his subordinates after he had the benefits. They all responded with excitement. Then after sitting down, everyone whispered to September's discussion.

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "Of course, the iron must be strong himself. The reason why our Wuzhai Fort is famous all over the world is the excellent quality of our soldiers and the strict and healthy systems of the army in the fort! Therefore, all the fine traditions in our fort cannot be lost. This after-war aftermath and summary is one of them. Let's discuss this matter first."

The pension and rewards after each war, various war cases, various lessons, and various expenses, etc. This is the tradition of the Wuzhaibao army. Heru Town is in charge of training, recruitment, police force, and the army's logistics supplies. In his hands, there is also an engineer team.

So he took out the document book and talked about the expenses in this Korean war.

"When the war was launched, the military pay was doubled. The servants were four taels per month, ordinary soldiers, two taels per month, including auxiliary soldiers, four thousand soldiers, ten thousand taels of silver per month..."

"This time, we went on a war horse, and we sent out more than 5,000 horses to fight, and we all needed more than 10,000 stones of food per month... We also needed more than 10,000 taels of military equipment, wartime losses, military food loss on the road, during the two-year Eastern Expedition, our five-zhai Fort had a total of more than one million taels of silver!"

"In addition, there are all kinds of pensions and decapitation silver expenses..."

Everyone was stuck out their tongues. This war was really expensive, especially the Wuzhaibao army, which was supported by money. Fortunately, his Lord Huang Laifu made great money, so he could afford it.

Huang Laifu also sighed that war is indeed a monster that eats money. If you don’t have money, you will never be able to fight. Fortunately, you issue Dongxing bonds and borrow money from others to fight for yourself.

After Emperor Wanli allocated four million taels of Japanese compensation to himself, the money made up for his own deficit. However, this was based on the unwillingness of the capital's people to recover the principal of the East Ending bonds.

Finally, I calculated that not only did I not have to pay for my five village forts, but I also made a fortune in this Korean battle.

Huang Laifu instructed Heru Town to properly arrange pension silver for the casualties, as well as the burial of their bodies, as well as the burial of their ashes and clothes in Wuzhaibao Yingli Garden, and finally a grand memorial ceremony was held for them.

He Ruzhen naturally solemnly agreed. In fact, the application of these matters has been very mature over the years, and has achieved very good results in the formation of the cohesion of the Wuzhaibao army.

As for the beheading silver reward, since the idea of ​​exchanging military merits for fields outside the border has been very mature among the Wuzhai Fort army over the years, Huang Laifu could not spend much money. What he needed was to explore more land outside the border in the future.

Huang Laifu believed that the land of the entire Mongolia, Central and Western Asia, and Siberia would be enough to reward him for several lifetimes.

Moreover, now the Governor Huang Laifu, the military affairs, food and salary of the two towns in Datong, Shanxi, and also in charge of military farming outside the border, and the obstacles to expanding land outside the border are gone. As for the force of the nomadic people outside the border, Huang Laifu believes that they are vulnerable under their own army.

...

Sun Xiaobao is now in charge of military discipline and registration verification of military merits, and he also manages the law enforcement team. In Huang Laifu's army, officers cannot punish sergeants without permission. If the sergeant makes mistakes, they must be handed over to the law enforcement team for handling. The same is true for officers, which is equivalent to the Ming version of the military court.

The Ming version of the military court was welcomed by the soldiers. In fact, they were not afraid of being punished. What they were worried about was that they were punished randomly and unfairly.

Speaking of punishment, strictness is the case, not the case of abuse. With this Ming version of the military court, the fairness and majesty of military law has been somewhat guaranteed. Although it cannot be compared with later generations, and then compared with the troops around the Ming Dynasty, it is much more advanced.

This is also one of the reasons why Huang Laifu's army is stronger than the surrounding Ming army.

Sun Xiaobao has always been a stubborn person. Even Jiang Dazhong dared to fight back then, so it was very appropriate to manage the military law and the registration and verification of military merits.

This time, Sun Xiaobao followed Huang Laifu to fight in North Korea, and now he is also speaking freely.

He clasped his fists and shouted: "Governor General, I have a suggestion. When I was watching the Battle of Ulsan in the Eastern Expedition, I had an idea. I had a sharp firearm and defeated the Japanese army Shimazu. With my own firearms so powerful, it seems that I don't have to cooperate with other troops, and I can form a military formation independently."

His statement resonated with Jiang Dazhong. Although he was defending the city in Shimayama City at that time, in the previous Shimayama battle, he also heard the military's narration of Ulsan during the strong battle. He also developed great confidence in the power of the flintlock musket.

In fact, after the development of the Flintlock Muskets in Wuzhai Fort, they were very popular among the army. This kind of musket is loaded very quickly and can be fought on rainy days. Hundreds of them are bombarded together, which is indeed extremely powerful.

The battle outside the Great Wall and the battle in Korea not long ago all proved this fact.

Whether it is lined up in three horizontal lines or a line-shaped team, the flintlock rifle formation is a wall that cannot be broken through by enemies on all sides. The cold weapon soldiers guarding the military formation have become pure decorations, which is a big waste!
