The Ming army, which had won the Red-Thousandthus Fort victory, quickly invested a large number of superior forces into the Jinzhou battlefield. The huge force instantly scared the Jiannu defenders in Jinzhou City. Before the Fifth Infantry Division had time to surround Jinzhou, Jiannu was so scared that he abandoned the city overnight and broke through and fled northward.&1t;/p>

During the breakout, hundreds of people were killed.&1t;/p>

On the tenth day of the first year of Tianqi, the Ming army officially recovered Jinzhou and the areas south.&1t;/p>

Jinzhou is located in the Dalian area of ​​later generations. In the north of Dalian Port, there is a horizontal mountain range. Jinzhou City is located at the gap passage of the mountain range, about ten kilometers south of Jinzhou City, and a "nan Pass" was established with the mountainous terrain. At the same time, there are also some gaps west of Jinzhou City, but the road is rugged and narrow. Just send a small number of troops to build a fortress.&1t;/p>

The terrain of Jinsui City is very conducive to defensive operations, and although Jiannu will destroy the city wall during the siege of cities and land, it will allow for future robbery. However, the Liaodong Peninsula has become the area controlled by Jiannu, so the city wall has not been destroyed, and the same is true for Nanguan.&1t;/p>

After regaining Jinzhou, the military supervisor Zhang Yanxun reported that Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered Sun Chuanting to come up with a plan. Sun Chuanting suggested to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, since Jinzhou has been recovered, it is better to establish another Jinzhou Town. First of all, Dongjiang Town under Mao Wenlong is also somewhat away from Jinzhou, so it is not convenient to contact and mobilize. In addition, Jinzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can become a bridgehead for the imperial court to counterattack Liaodong."&1t;/p>

Of course there is another reason not to say, that is, to curb Mao Wenlong's excessive military power. Mao Wenlong's war is relatively reliable, and his loyalty seems to be good at the moment. However, power may inflate people's ambitions. Since Mao Wenlong has opened Dongjiang in the town, there is no reason to let Mao Wenlong serve as the chief officer and soldier of Jinzhou Town.&1t;/p>

"If you open a town of Jinzhou, who will be sent to guard Jinzhou?" Zhu Youxiao asked.&1t;/p>

"You can get Zhang Kuotu to be promoted to the chief officer and soldier of Jinzhou Town. According to the detailed battle report I just received, Jingying has an advantage in fighting Jiannu in the open terrain in the wild. The terrain north of Jinzhou is relatively open, and the Fifth Infantry Division guards Jinzhou and can also advance north at any time. If Jiannu attacks Jinzhou in large numbers, the firearm troops like Jingying will be easier to defend. In addition, I think that artillery and various city-defense materials should be transported to Jinzhou immediately and quickly build a defense line to prevent the overall situation of Jiannu from attacking." Sun Chuanting suggested.&1t;/p>

"What I said is reasonable, please come up with a detailed plan! In addition, after this great victory, the Ministry of War will also give you a commendation plan." Zhu Youxiao agreed to these suggestions. The Ministry of War was responsible for how to do it. Finally, the emperor nodded in agreement. It was that simple.&1t;/p>

Soon the Daming Daily reported on the victory of the Dongjiang Army, so in addition to the Hongzui Fort victory, there was also an additional Jinzhou victory.&1t;/p>

Although there was no vitality to annihilate many Jiannu's forces in the process of regaining Jinzhou, it was indeed regaining lost territory. It is also possible to promote it as a great victory.&1t;/p>

After commending the frontline soldiers, the topic changed. That is, with the strong support and guidance of the emperor, Dongjiang Town achieved a great victory of nearly 4,000 enemies, and wiped out the decline since the Battle of Sarhu.&1t;/p>

With the publication of the report, it immediately inspired the morale of the military and civilians. Many groups who care about national affairs were also very excited.&1t;/p>

Then the court rewarded the Dongjiang Army. Because Mao Wenlong was a meritorious in command, the court rewarded him with 500 taels of gold and had already had several coins. The officers participating in the war also received rewards, and they were extremely generous in giving money. Zhu Youxiao paid 200,000 silver dollars for this.&1t;/p>

However, in other official positions, there are not many promotions, and there are no titles or other things.&1t;/p>

In Zhu Youxiao's opinion, the result of this victory is not too great. If you give it too much now, will it be unrewardable to reward it in the future?&1t;/p>

The biggest improvement in official positions was Zhang Kuotu, the commander of the Fifth Infantry Division. Because he achieved the great victory in Hongzui Fort, Zhang Kuotu was soon appointed as the general of Jinzhou Town by the Ministry of War and ordered him to open the town of Jinzhou.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the Ministry of War sent out the materials needed for Jinzhou Town, and at the same time took thirty red cannons from the warehouse of the Royal Military Factory to transfer them to Jinzhou Town. These red cannons were iron cast cannons, and their technology was conquered by the Royal Military Factory itself. They were not used to ask gunsmiths to cast from Macau, so it was not very suitable to call the red cannon, so they were named heavy flat-fire cannons.&1t;/p>

The term flat-fired cannon is used to replace cannons.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao naturally couldn't have compiled the term cannon. What the hell is Cannon? There was no such noun translated from the Western name in the Ming Dynasty. The name still needs to be domesticated. Cannon is flat-fired, so it was named flat-fired cannon.&1t;/p>

The Royal Military Factory has developed a one-pound cannon and three-pound cannons are all flat-fired cannons.&1t;/p>

These heavy flat-fire guns are all cast iron, so they were temporarily suspended after only thirty of production. Because the Royal Military Factory is developing low-carbon steel to produce heavy guns to improve performance. The cost of these heavy flat-fire guns is also relatively high, and the cost of one is about thousands of silver dollars, mainly because the failure rate is relatively high. After all, the labor cost is relatively high. The labor cost of those gun casting craftsmen is not low, after all, this is a technical job.&1t;/p>

This batch of heavy artillery was just shipped to Jinzhou to build a defense line of Jinzhou.&1t;/p>

In order to build the Jinzhou defense line, Zhu Youxiao allocated another 500,000 silver dollars from the treasury, and the establishment of Jinzhou Town was also determined to be 30,000 people.&1t;/p>

Zhang Kuotu will then be responsible for forming a defensive force to defend Jinzhou. Soldiers will be recruited from the Han people in Liaodong. The organization of the Fifth Infantry Division remains unchanged and is still in the Beijing Battalion. The main function is to take the initiative.&1t;/p>

While achieving local military victory, the home search activities of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei have been fully launched.&1t;/p>

The property of Ye Xianggao, Liu Yiren, Han Yu and others was confiscated, and the property of the other Donglin Party officials who were dismissed due to corruption was also confiscated by factory guards.&1t;/p>

The three tribes who are in a row have a relatively large range of involvement.&1t;/p>

Soon the Labor Reform Bureau became overcrowded, and more than 3,000 people were imprisoned. However, the factory guards had begun to conduct an investigation. Those three tribes who had no interest transfer relationship with corrupt officials had been released and returned and exchanged for their property.&1t;/p>

It is also relatively simple and crude to determine whether there is a relationship of interest transfer. It depends on whether there is enough family property. If there is enough family property and is doing business, there must be a relationship of interest transfer, which is more or less involved.&1t;/p>

So much so that only more than 70 corrupt officials were arrested, and nearly 200 households were held. The two hundred households were held either landlords or merchants, or even officials, because some officials were born in aristocratic family.&1t;/p>

What is a gentry?&1t;/p>

It is a kind of mixed class group formed by officials in marriage. This group is not monopolistic, but is constantly absorbing new members.&1t;/p>

For example, if a literati passes the Jinshi, he will be "captured" by some officials in the officialdom. These officials marry their daughters to these Jinshis who are on the list, forming this kind of network of relationships between the gentry.&1t;/p>

These officials who were held in charge soon confessed a lot of evidence of corruption under the interrogation. However, they did not dare to conduct conspiracy again. The consequences of sitting down were too big. Zhu Youxiao was prone to angering the public and became a public enemy of the entire bureaucratic class.&1t;/p>

In fact, after more than 70 Donglin Party officials who were dismissed were convicted of three tribes, the entire bureaucratic class had begun to experience restlessness.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao, who was in a bad situation, immediately called Shen Qing in a hurry and ordered Shen Qing to immediately carry out cabinet legislation to calm the restlessness of these bureaucrats.&1t;/p>

If possible, Zhu Youxiao wouldn't mind arresting and cutting down those messy bureaucrats. But these bureaucrats control a large number of local powers and resources. Once they collude with civil forces to make the emperor's rebellion, the country must be in turmoil.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao can only stabilize these officials first.&1t;/p>

Against this background, the cabinet officially issued the "Ming Dynasty Anti-Corruption Act", which was approved by Zhu Youxiao to come into effect.&1t;/p>

The Anti-Corruption Act formally stipulates the punishment standards for corrupt officials, which are generally divided into three types of punishment. One is that officials who have not received the money for maintenance are found to be corrupt and only dismissed. In fact, the subtext expressed is that the past is not investigated, but this subtext cannot be clearly stated, because some officials still have to pursue it.&1t;/p>

The second type is that officials who receive the money to support the government and have corrupt officials are not only dismissed, but also confiscated their property and are sentenced to the Labor Reform Bureau. The specific amount of labor reform depends on the amount of corruption, with the highest five energy and a minimum of two years. However, the three tribes are not subject to continuation.&1t;/p>

The third type is the officials who received the double maintenance and honest fund, that is, the Qi Chuzhe Propaganda Party mascots who received the money. If they received the double maintenance and honest fund and embezzled **, they would be in three tribes in a row, and the amount of corruption exceeds 5,000 taels will be life imprisonment.&1t;/p>

The promulgation and publication of the Anti-Corruption Act immediately had an effect. The anxiety of the restless bureaucratic class finally disappeared.&1t;/p>

These bureaucrats are also very talented, so they naturally know that the emperor involved the three tribes of these officials who were dismissed from the Donglin Party this time, mainly to crack down on political hostile forces and to make money.&1t;/p>

Now that people have captured the money, the money has been obtained. The Donglin Party has lost its power in the court, so naturally there is no need to continue to expand the scope of such attacks.&1t;/p>

In the process of cracking down on the Donglin Party, the emperor obviously did not follow the rules, which is what these bureaucrats are concerned about. Faced with an emperor who does not follow the rules, they all have potential risks.&1t;/p>

However, the Anti-Corruption Act immediately became a new rule. Since the emperor began to follow the rules and explained the rules clearly, the bureaucrats naturally felt much more at ease.&1t;/p>

The thing about raising money is still accepted by bureaucrats. Although the emperor wants to fight corruption, the releasing of raising money has given them a considerable income. Although it is not as fast as corruption, it can see all the money.&1t;/p>

These bureaucrats also understood the subtext. The corruption in the past was almost gone. Let’s continue to live with peace of mind! In the future, the only officials who received double maintenance funds will be the ones who will not be in the three tribes in the future.&1t;/p>

Double maintenance and honest funds are actually the "interest dividend" distributed by the emperor in private. The specific amount has not been announced, and how to get the dual maintenance and honest funds has not been announced. However, this thing is the first time that this thing has been made public.&1t;/p>

What satisfy the bureaucrats most is that there is no death penalty in the Repetition Act, the most serious thing is that you are in charge of three tribes.&1t;/p>

This time, the factory guards searched more than 200 households at one time, so that there were too many assets to be found at all. It was obvious that this vote was too big. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
Chapter completed!
