    The salary increase of civil and military officials was not decided by Zhao Han, but the result of his deliberation.

    ?From first-rank officials to seventh-rank officials, the monthly salary will rise as a whole, while the salaries of other officials will remain unchanged.

    First product: 320 stones.

    From Yipin: 310 stones.

    Seventh grade: 45 stones.

    From the seventh grade: 35 stones.

    Compared with the Ming court, the salaries of top officials have more than tripled.  But the middle-level officials have turned over a lot, and the Ming Dynasty is the seventh-rank monthly salary

    7.5 shi, the monthly salary of the seventh grade of Datong is 45 shi, which is exactly six times the salary of the previous dynasty.

    The outbreak of a major case in Shaanxi was just a prelude to this increase.

    The fundamental reason is that the income of ordinary people has increased, and officials cannot always maintain the same status. They must be made more decent.  In addition, the increase in government taxation has not only enriched money, but also increased food income, which can fully maintain the higher salaries of officials.

    This kind of adjustment is normal. When Zhu Yuanzhang first entered the north, he could not afford money and food to pay the officials, so he directly threw the wasteland to the officials, and asked the officials to recruit people to grow food to pay for their wages.  After the finances were sufficient, the land was recovered one after another, and the imperial court distributed the salary normally.

    Many policies of the Datong New Dynasty will need to be adjusted in the future.

    For example, the military supplies and logistics of the provinces are all in the hands of civilian officials. After a hundred years, military officials will inevitably be overwhelmed and unable to raise their heads.  The reason for doing this is because the founding generals are too powerful, and civil officials must be used to limit their power.

    This kind of restriction, Zhao Han intends to last for more than 20 years, and when the founding ministers are transferred back to the central office, they will gradually release more power to the local military officers.

    Just when Zhao Han announced the increase in official salary, the war in Liaodong also started.

    Hetuala City, outside Guandi Temple.

    The city of people.

    There were shouts of hawking one after another on the street: "Young man, with good teeth, works a lot and eats less"

    A Manchu nobleman, surrounded by domestic slaves, pointed to the slave in front of him and asked, "What price?"

    "Twenty taels." The trafficker said.

    The Manchu nobleman shook his head: "It's too expensive."

    The trafficker asked with a smile: "How much is this master willing to bid?"

    "One price, ten taels." The Manchurian nobleman said.

    "At least eighteen taels. It's not easy to catch slaves nowadays." The trafficker emphasized.

    The two sides bargained, and the transaction was made in thirteen taels.

    ?It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. The Manchu nobles who have been to Beijing, after returning to Hetuala, feel that life is becoming more and more difficult.

    In the past two years, not only have there been many deserters, but also a large number of domestic slaves and serfs have fled.  As long as they arrived at the Liao Great Wall, these domestic slaves would be safe, and the Datong Army would let them pass, and the government would even allocate land to them.

    When the Manchu dignitaries retreated, they took away a large amount of gold and silver.

    Now I have money in my hand, but I can't buy enough food, and I can't even look after the servants.

    As a result, the slave trade flourished, and the Eight Banners Army stationed in the northeast did not put their minds on defending the city at all.  Under the command of the general, they were led by the officers of the Eight Banners, and ran to the Heilongjiang River Basin to capture the aborigines, and then transported them back to Hetuala for sale.

    Human trafficking, no matter in history or in this time and space, the nobles of the Eight Banners have done it.

    Historically, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty first entered the customs, many nobles from the Eight Banners entered the city like bumpkins.  They drove the Han people out of the inner city of Beijing, and then found that the house they robbed was so big that the original servants were simply not enough.

    Some dignitaries in the Manchu Qing Dynasty accepted local ruffians as dog legs.  Let these bastards lure, abduct, and rob the Han people, and the servants in Shunchengmen can escape.  "

    The aristocratic son said: "You can buy it after you escape. Our family does not lack that little silver."

    "Is this a matter of money?" Erke Daiqing really wanted to kick him in the past. His sixth son is really useless, and he learned bad things during the two years in the capital.  One is used for fighting cocks and running dogs all night, and it can be used when buying servants, and don't even think about leading troops to fight.

    Erke Daiqing, from the Borzigit clan, can also be translated as the Borjijin clan.

    At a glance, it is clear that he is from Mongolia. His father's name is Ngodel, and he is Baylor from a small tribe in Khalkha Mongolia.  Failed in the Mongolian civil war,

    ? Can only lead the people, come to seek refuge in the Qing Dynasty, and are arranged to farm and live in Liaoyang as a whole, and belong to Zhenghuang Banner.  The land given to them was of course snatched from the Han people.

    During Dorgon's reign, he asked Erke Daiqing to change to Zhengbaiqi, but this person was not co-opted by Dorgon, and devoted himself to working for Dayuer.

    Today, he is so prosperous, enters first-class public, adds Shaobao, and is also a concubine.? Taibao.

    These are nothing. Erke Daiqing's actual position is similar to that of the nine admirals in the Qing Dynasty. He was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the entire city of Hetuala.  So it was funny, several servants of Admiral Jiumen's family escaped from the city, this is why Erke Daiqing was angry.

    Riding on a horse, Erke Daiqing led his men and went out to inspect the city defense in person.

    The streets in the city were very deserted. Due to the promulgation of the "Order to Treat Returned People Kindly" in Liaoning, a large number of Han people fled from the areas under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty.  Even landlords of the Han nationality who had been the lackeys of the Manchu Qing, as long as they fled to the Liao Great Wall to register, they could settle in the sub-fields in Liaoning¡ªunder the crazy exploitation of the Manchu Qing,

    Some landlords left their fields and ran away.

    Not to mention the residents in the city, the poll tax is too high, and they will run away whenever they have the opportunity.

    Today, even if the Han people go out of the city to make trouble, several households have to provide security together.  One family fled, and several families questioned the crime.  The phenomenon of fleeing people was not curbed, but it gave the city guards an excuse to demand cards from the people entering and leaving the city gate.

    ?Because the population of the "capital" was getting smaller and smaller, the Manchu and Qing courts encouraged population trading, acquiescing to the Eight Banners Army stationed in the rear, leaving their posts without permission to arrest the aborigines, and the tribes in Heilongjiang were greatly harmed.

    ? Turned off his horse and climbed onto the city wall, Erke Daiqing looked out.

    He knew that Manqing would be over sooner or later, but he had no other choice but to sink with this broken ship.

    "Da da da da!"

    A fast horse came from the mountain road, and was stopped and searched when he came to the city gate. The man said anxiously: "Don't waste time, Sarhu is besieged!"

    Erke Daiqing soon received the news and asked in person: "How many people have come to besiege the city?"

    The messenger said, "tens of thousands!"

    Erke Dai Qing said anxiously: "This is a decisive battle, come with me to see the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!"

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Lu Xiangsheng sat in the camp, listening to the continuous sound of cannons from the west.

    At this time, Saarhu City is far taller and stronger than it was in Daming's hands.  Because Nurhachi had been rebuilt and moved the capital here for more than a year, it was built according to the specifications of the Houjin Capital City.

    "The bloody battle in Saarhu."

    Lu Xiangsheng recalled the battle many years ago. Although he had not experienced it personally, he had heard it said countless times, because it was the beginning of the collapse of the situation in Liaodong.

    "Da da da da!"

    The sound of horseshoes approached from far away, and a scout rushed over: "Master, we met some Tartar scouts, we killed two of them, but no one was caught.

    Did not encounter enemy reinforcements either.  "

    "Continue to explore." Lu Xiangsheng ordered.

    Here is a group of city defense fortresses. The main city is Saerhu City on Saerhu Mountain. There are two acropolises on the east and west sides of Saerhu.

    Not far to the northeast, at the confluence of the Hun River and the Suzi River, there is another Jiefan City.  Before Nurhachi moved his capital to Sarhu, he once set his capital at Jiefan City. The city area was not as large as Sarhu, but the mountains were steeper, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack because it was sandwiched between two rivers.  Moreover, on the east and west sides of Jiefan City, there is also an acropolis.

    In addition, there is also Gule City, which was once the royal city of Jurchen in Jianzhou.

    These three cities are in the form of a tripartite confrontation, and they are all built on the basis of the danger of mountains and rivers.  w

    If you want to destroy the Qing Dynasty, you must pull out all these cities before you can go to attack Hetuala.  Even if the Eight Banners Army has degraded its combat effectiveness, as long as it is dedicated to defending, it will take more than half a year to slowly attack the city.

    At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng led his army to capture the East Acropolis of Sarhu.  His mission was not to attack the city, but to keep an eye on the Tartar reinforcements. The Tartars in Jiefan City and Gule City might come at any time.

    As for Hu Dinggui, he led his army to get stuck between the main city of Sarhu and the Western Acropolis, cutting off the connection between the two Tartars.

    Xiao Zongxian was leading his troops to storm the Western Acropolis, and all the artillery of several divisions was assigned to him.

    A hundred cannons bombarded the small acropolis, and the defenders of the Tartars were already stunned.  Even the Tartar artillery had to be forced by officers with knives,

    Only then did he dare to use the city defense artillery to fight back.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    "boom!"

    Although the artillery of the Datong Army was well protected by the rammed earth bunker, one of them was destroyed by the city defense artillery.

    The two acropolises of Sarhu must be gone soon.

    This kind of small castle was built by Nurhachi at the beginning of his army, how could it withstand the continuous bombardment of hundreds of cannons.  The city wall can be destroyed in a few days, and the next step is to besiege the main city of Sarhu, and besiege the city to fight for aid, waiting for the Tartars from Jiefan City and Gule City to come and die.

    Enemy reinforcements require a military order from the Manchu Qing court.

    When Da Yuer learned that Saerhu was besieged, her first reaction was to run away, and wanted to take the little emperor of Shunzhi to Heilongjiang.
