When Chongzhen received Lu Hanqiang's report, he was stunned and laughed.
Fuliao, has become Chongzhen's heart disease, Yuan Chonghuan's time, tens of millions of money and grain every year, but can only shrink Jinzhou, and finally make people hit the door, Huang Taiji a barbaric pseudo-emperor blocked his door and called for himself, this is simply a great shame, and later Guanning Iron Cavalry, although Sun Chengzong is in command, but still shrinking forward, it is good to say that the turtle is not moving forward, and it is very good not to lose the territory again, but the massive amount of silver money still makes Daming breathless.
This time, as soon as Lu Hanqiang arrived in western Liaoning, he directly restored four counties for himself without spending a single money or grain, what a great merit this is, this huge merit simply made Donglin, who had always been opposed for opposition, speechless.
However, Donglin is still opposed for the sake of opposition, since I can't oppose this, then I will oppose you in other aspects, what do you use to oppose it in other aspects, but I can't find a topic for a while, so the court will disappear temporarily.
Regarding the appointment of the prefect of western Liaoning proposed by Lu Hanqiang, it was finally reached in accordance with Lu Hanqiang's wishes, not because the Zhao Qiliang that Lu Hanqiang said moved all the bureaucrats because he was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, but that no one wanted to come to this place.
If you think about it, that is the front line of the Houjin confrontation, according to the regulations of the national dynasty, if the city is lost, the civil officials must be killed, and the military generals must be killed, because the military generals still need to continue to let them work hard, so the basic military generals are nothing, so no one wants to go to Liaoxi to be this official, because they are really not optimistic about Lu Hanqiang.
The reason why I am not optimistic about Lu Hanqiang is not that I have doubts about his ability, but because you have only 45,000 men and horses, you will have to face the powerful Manchu Qing, maybe one day, the Manchu Eight Banners will wave the knife, and Lu Hanqiang will run away with his tail between his legs, such a thing, in the eyes of these bigwigs, is absolutely possible and constantly realized.
Therefore, Zhao Qiliang successfully became the prefect of Liaoxi Prefecture, and at the same time, officials at all levels and officials in the four counties also had the Lone Chen Party members promoted by Lu Hanqiang, and the entire Liaoxi Prefecture began to operate smoothly.
The second problem is to recruit troops and buy horses, and now for Lu Hanqiang's recruitment, Chongzhen is no longer as jealous of Lu Hanqiang as before, because in Chongzhen's view, the recovery of Liaodong is the most important thing, as long as Liaodong can be recovered, just like Yuan Chonghuan was promised at the beginning, anything can be promised, as for the fear of Lu Hanqiang's rebellion, this is actually more psychologically prepared, because behind Lu Hanqiang, there are hundreds of thousands of Guanning iron horses, these hundreds of thousands of people are sitting and spending national money and food What do you know I know, But it can't be said that in Chongzhen's view, even if you Lu Hanqiang rebelled, then you have Huang Taiji's Manchu Qing in front of you, the Mongolian tribes in your north, and the endless sea in your south, and more than 100,000 Guanning iron horsemen behind you, just in this small place, what can you toss, anyway, don't pay for it yourself, soldiers, you can recruit it, as long as you recover Liaodong, then I will promise you everything, as for what will happen after the recovery of Liaodong, I will talk about it then.
Originally, Lu Hanqiang wanted Chongzhen to pay for it this time, but as soon as he proposed it, Chongzhen immediately resolutely refuted his delusions.
Daming is rich now, and there are many places to use money, just the 11 million taels you made for me, I still have to fill the hole you asked for to reduce the tax burden in the northwest, I also have to give your eldest brother Hong Chengchou to recruit troops to buy horses to quell the turbulent Kou, but also to supply the south to quell the rebellion and the rebellion of luxury, but also to sort out the water conservancy, and anyway, there are a lot of more, and the tight money is not slow enough to spend, no, I have taken out the millions of internal funds you earned me in the year, and you want to recruit soldiers yourself.
Then Wang Chengen also stretched out his hand to Lu Hanqiang unashamedly, you had better donate some more to Da Nei.
And in the end, it was his second brother Lu Xiangsheng who betrayed Lu Hanqiang.
Lu Xiangsheng took over the helm of the military department, carried out a fruitful rectification of the military department, and then had the support of the two brothers Lu Hanqiang and Hong Chengchou, completely rejuvenated the military department, so with the full support of Emperor Chongzhen, he began his ambitious plan to rectify the guards, and began to abolish the guards in various places.
The first choice is for Cao Huachun to stand up and promise to give priority to the public land in his control to the soldiers of the military household guards who have been dismissed, so that they can have land to cultivate, and at the same time distribute money and grain for resettlement, which will cost a lot of money, and if the guard is abolished, it is necessary to implement the recruitment system and re-recruit soldiers, although according to the regulations, the salary of these soldiers is far lower than that of Lu Hanqiang's Fuliao army, only one or two or five dollars of silver per month, but this is also a huge expense, Therefore, when he saw that Lu Hanqiang was about to reach out and ask for money, Lu Xiangsheng immediately found Chongzhen to dig up the corner of his little brother, and after getting Chongzhen's promise that as long as Lu Hanqiang raised his own funds, then the money that should be given to Lu Hanqiang would be given to you, he wrote a letter to Lu Hanqiang to complain.
So Lu Hanqiang completely died of the idea of asking for money from the state, and raised funds by himself.
After getting Chongzhen's approval to recruit troops, Lu Hanqiang decided to start recruiting troops, for the place of recruitment, the original meaning was that it was recruited locally in Liaodong, but Lu Hanqiang opposed this suggestion for two reasons, first, Liaodong has been in war for a long time, the population has been seriously scarce, and the places occupied by Liaoxi themselves need to be developed, and a large number of young and strong people are needed, and it is impossible to rely on women, the elderly and children alone, if they recruit a large army here.
In fact, this is a blow to his follow-up strength, which is very cost-effective, second, Shanxi and Shaanxi, displaced people everywhere, now Shanxi's number one Yao Tongxin, is his old brother, can not watch him be drowned by the army of displaced people, therefore, recruit troops from Shanxi, this is the best policy, as long as the strong labor force of Shanxi and Shaanxi is drawn to the northeast by themselves, then, Li Zicheng's strength, which has begun to emerge, will not grow rapidly, which is also a bottom of the kettle.
Moreover, the people in the northwest are fierce, and the western armies of all dynasties are the most capable of fighting, especially because they have no permanent property, so they can also put down all the peace of mind against the enemy, these several benefits are put together, which is why Lu Hanqiang is ready to continue to recruit troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi.
Everyone also thinks that this is right, which is equivalent to settling down Shanxi and Shaanxi, and it can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone.
Therefore, Lu Hanqiang immediately appointed capable men to recruit displaced people in Shanxi to form a new army, and this time Lu Hanqiang's goal was 50,000. t1706231537:
