The villages in Lanxian County were quickly stabilized, all the people who should be killed were killed, and the money, food, and belongings were quickly clarified, and most of them were transported to Mengjiazhuang, leaving only enough rations.

The villagers and long-term tenants who stayed behind also continued to be busy with spring ploughing, and Wang Jizong transferred the 5,000 hungry people who had been taken in from Lou Fu a year ago and resettled them in various villages in batches, so that they could settle down there.

With the exception of the fields owned by the yeoman farmers, all the other fields were leased to the former long-working tenants and hungry people, and the tenants rented forty percent of the rent, and after two years they could be sold to them for one to three stone of grain, depending on the quality of the land.

The original long-term workers and tenants of each village, as well as the villagers who owned their own fields, added up to 4,000 people, and after the 5,000 hungry people were resettled, those villages had a total of 9,000 people, barely able to cultivate the 70,000 acres of cultivated land.

This is not enough, Qin Chuan also has to set up porridge sheds in several villages located on the main transportation routes, take in the hungry people who have fallen into this area, and even send people out to recruit the hungry people.

There are still tens of thousands of acres of abandoned fields in Lan County, plus the labor force needed by all walks of life such as commerce and handicrafts, and another 20,000 people can be resettled.

In fact, most of the population of Lanxian County is concentrated in Lancheng, when Qinchuan attacked, many people ran into Lancheng for refuge, at least three or four thousand people, plus the original people, plus the Ming army and the Xiangyong who fled in, the population in Lancheng is estimated to be about 20,000 now.

Arashiki is definitely going to be defeated, there are still many people who must die there, and there are so many people.

The most important thing is that Lanxian County is located in the northwesternmost part of the Lanhe Plain, north of Luya Mountain, out of the north gate you can follow the Luyashan path out of Lanzhou, and it is also the only way for Lanzhou to enter the Lanhe Plain, just like a lion standing at the foot of Luya Mountain, eyeing the entire Lanhe Plain.

Only by taking Lancheng can the hinterland of Luliang Mountain be truly obtained.

And, of course, Chijian Ridge.

If Feng Yilong did not surrender with Chijianling as soon as the ten-day period passed, Qin Chuan would pull more than a dozen cannons up the mountain and bomb Fengjiazhuang into slag.

After transferring 5,000 people to Lan County, there are still 7,000 villagers left in Lou Fu, of which 2,000 are resettled in Fengrun Village, Zhanggui Village, and Shahui Village, as well as Jingle City and Ninghua Thousand Households.

Qin Chuan left Li Dingliang in Jingle City, and as soon as Wang Dehua's Ming army was defeated, Li Dingliang took two hundred men to recover Ninghua Qianhusuo and left a hundred imperial troops there.

There are two villages in the east of Jingle City, one is Kangjia Village, the other is Niuweizhuang, these two villages are in the mountains, there are only dozens of small households in each village, it is said that the folk customs are very simple, they are all some sheep and horses, the mountain people who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and there is no big gentry who bully men and women.

Qin Chuan didn't go to those two villages, but only asked Chen Congzhi to send someone to inform the villagers of those two villages that Jingle had changed, and if there was a shortage of food and clothing, he could go to Jingle to find the county magistrate to borrow it, and no interest would be charged.

The original villagers of Jingyou Town also returned to Jingyou, and Qinchuan also placed 500 more villagers in it, and the Du family's fields would be cultivated for them in full.

Of course, after the winter wheat harvest in all the fields, including the fields in Lan County, all the grain was returned to Qinchuan, and he would pay the villagers who participated in the harvest as wages.

When he was busy settling the villagers, Qin Chuan once again deeply felt the importance of talents, to manage more than a dozen villages, more than 10,000 villagers, and dozens of civil affairs officials were needed.

It seems that the school has to expand as soon as possible, even if it is a captivity, and some scholars must be taken to teach.

For several days, Qin Chuan ran around, so busy that after roughly settling down, he threw the rest of the matter to Wang Jizong, Song Zhiting and others, and let them solve it by themselves.

It's time for him to get ready to clean up Chijian Ridge.

……

On March 28, there was only one day left before Qin Chuan's deadline for Feng Yilong.

Early in the morning, Qin Chuan dispatched troops and mobilized artillery in Puming Town, preparing to kill Chijianling.

At noon, a sentry suddenly came to report that Feng Yilong was coming.

&nbs-->>

p; Qin Chuan paused for a moment, then smiled, fortunately that guy knew each other.

After ordering someone to prepare wine and meat, Qin Chuan led Luo Da Niu and a hundred red-clothed waiters to wait quietly at the town entrance.

It didn't take long for a troop of men and horses to come into view, about four hundred people.

Fengjiazhuang is worthy of being a den of horse bandits, and the four hundred people are all riding healthy horses, and the equipment is also very neat.

It seems that Feng Yilong is not like other bandit leaders who only care about spending time and drinking, but is very willing to spend money to equip his subordinates.

When the group of men and horses approached, Feng Yilong, who was the leader, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Qin Chuan alone, and the four hundred people behind him also dismounted, so they stayed where they were and waited.

"Feng is willing to lead Fengjiazhuang to serve Lord Qin, before and after the saddle, he will not give up."

Feng Yilong was also refreshed, knelt down directly on one knee, and saluted Qin Chuan with a fist.

The group of people behind him also knelt down on one knee one after another, and saluted Qin Chuan with their fists in unison.

"Hahahaha."

Qin Chuan stepped forward to help him up with a smile, and said with a smile, "From now on, the big guy will be his own brother, so there is no need to be polite." ”

Feng Yilong hugged his fists again and said, "My lord, all the young and strong people in Fengjiazhuang are here, a total of four hundred and twenty brothers, and there are only some old and weak women and children left on Chijian Ridge, all of whom are family members of these brothers, and I hope that the adults can treat one or two kindly." ”

"Of course."

Qin Chuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I won't play with you anymore, your people, I will definitely break up a part of it, and then install a part of the Guan Emperor Army for you, because among my people, no faction is allowed, and besides, everyone in our army must absolutely obey the military order, and your people can no longer act like horse bandits, if there is anyone who violates the military order, they will be severely punished, because this is the way to strengthen the army."

"But don't worry, since I want to accept you as brothers, I will naturally treat your family well, I won't touch the food in Fengjiazhuang, and I will treat your brothers well, like other Guan Di Jun, they can also receive a month or two of salary each, and they will be rewarded for their merits and deeds if they win battles and bloody battles, and they can also get the fields in the future, and those with outstanding military achievements will not be able to be honored and rich."

"Thank you, sir, don't worry, Feng Mou has informed the brothers before, and they all know it in their hearts."

Feng Yilong had already been mentally prepared, knowing that if he voted for Qin Chuan, there would definitely be a lot more rules, and correspondingly, the brothers also had a head.

"It's good to have a number, so as not to make any mess, you and I are embarrassed, by the way, your brothers will follow you first, and if they want to lead the troops alone in the future, they will exchange military merits."

"Thank you, sir."

Feng Yilong's face showed a touch of joy, he was originally worried that Qin Chuan would tear apart his brothers, and he was worried that his brothers would be angry under other people's accounts1, Qin Chuan was willing to let a few brothers follow him, which was naturally the best.

"Let's go, take the brothers in for a drink."

Qin Chuan patted him on the shoulder again, and then walked into the town side by side with him.

The surrender of Feng Yilong and his four hundred men and horses is simply a fire in the fire, Qin Chuan is short of troops, and he is having a headache how many troops to send to fight Lancheng, how many troops are left in Lou Fu, Jingle City and several villages in Lan County, after having Feng Yilong's four hundred people, it has alleviated his current problem to a certain extent.

On the same day, Qin Chuan sent a hundred Guan imperial troops to Chijianling to garrison Fengjiazhuang, which is the western gateway of the Lanhe Plain, and it is certain that troops will be stationed.

As a result, the old and weak women and children in Fengjiazhuang became hostages.

But Qin Chuan repeatedly warned the 100 Guan Emperor Army that they must not oppress the people of Fengjiazhuang, let alone rob things, otherwise they will be killed.

After spending two days to disperse some of Feng Yilong's 400 men and horses and place them in various battalions, Qin Chuan dispatched troops to force Lancheng.

Among them, Luo Daniu and Feng Yilong attacked the south gate of Lancheng with Qin Chuan, with 1,000 troops and 23 artillery pieces.

Liu Youzhu led 300 Wudang battalions, made a detour to climb Luya Mountain, and set up an ambush at Shi's Roar Valley, which could let the scattered Ming army pass, but those gentry and big families could not run, and the magistrate of Lanxian County also had to die.

As for the mule carts carrying money and food, not a single one could pass.
