In Liu Ximing's camp in Ye County, it has become a sea of celebration at this moment.

As soon as the thieves retreated, the officers and soldiers counted the corpses and found that in this battle alone, they killed as many as 50,000 or 60,000 rogues, and such a great victory naturally attracted the whole army to sing and dance.

With the retreat of Li Zicheng and other soldiers and horses, the strategic purpose of the official army has been achieved, and Liu Ximing immediately ordered to prepare to join forces with Nanyang soldiers and horses.

That is, the next day's kung fu, Xia Yi, the governor of Yuzhou, led Mu Jingnan and dozens of other generals into Liu Ximing's camp.

"The subordinate pays a visit to the Inspector and congratulates the Inspector on his victory over the thief!"

Xia Yi, who was nearly fifty years old, was excited at this time, he was originally demoted to Shanxi, because he later corresponded with Huang Zongxi and others from time to time, so he joined the Datong Society together.

Unexpectedly, not long after joining the Datong Society, Liu Ximing actually pulled him out of the big pit in Shanxi and arranged him to be an official in Yuzhou.

Although Yuzhou has also been dilapidated, after Dou Yuquan took office as the prefect of Nanyang, Yuzhou also began to develop rapidly, and Xia Yi finally found the happiness of being an official here.

Watching himself prosper day by day under his rule is a kind of happiness for any scholar who aspires to the world.

Originally, Li Zicheng led the army to attack this time, Xia Yi thought that he was going to die with the city, but he didn't know that Dou Yuquan quickly sent reinforcements from Nanyang, although it was called a militia group, but the number was as high as 80,000.

After more than half a month of fierce battles, Xia Yi no longer has any doubts about the strength of Datong Society.

Liu Ximing was also quite happy to see his old friend here, he personally led a group of generals out of the camp, and there was no domineering attitude when Yang Sichang was a supervisor.

"Where is the big victory, but the Liukou retreats, this time it is thanks to Brother Yi Zhong to defend Yuzhou, otherwise Nanyang is in danger."

Xia Yi immediately waved his hand again and again, "Where, where, this is all the credit of Dou Taishou, if he hadn't recruited the militia in the county in time to help, where would my little Yuzhou be able to stop the thieves." ”

Looking at Mu Jingnan, who was low-eyed on the side, Liu Ximing was afraid that Xia Yi would talk about it in front of the prison army Kong Deyao At this time, he immediately laughed and stepped forward to hold Xia Yi's hands, and walked into the camp while pretending to ask about the current situation in Yuzhou.

At the back of the crowd, Shao Derong deliberately walked a few steps behind to Mu Jingnan's side, and slapped him on the shoulder, "You kid is good enough, you can stop Li Zicheng single-handedly." ”

Mu Jingnan and Shao Derong were not polite, and several people laughed quietly at the back of the crowd for a while, and then followed into the camp.

As soon as he walked into Liu Ximing's big tent, Kong Deyao said with a disappointed face:

"It's a pity that we couldn't leave the thieves here, otherwise the crisis in Henan would have been solved immediately. Ge Lao, why don't we pursue all the way, trying to recover Henan, but stop here? ”

Liu Ximing immediately smiled and said: "It is understandable that the Kong Supervisor Army is anxious, but the thief army is strong, if we don't stabilize ourselves first, even if we defeat the thief soldiers, we may turn the tables again." ”

He walked to the map in his tent in two steps and said: "At present, there are hundreds of thousands of rogues in Henan alone, plus there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of Zhang Xianzhong in the south, and it is difficult to win in a hurry. ”

"This pavilion has decided to lead the troops south first, stabilize Nanyang and Huguang, and then say, these places connect the north and the south, as long as we can hold them, then we can isolate the possibility of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong confluence, and then divide the troops to rebel, so that we can be sure."

Xia Yi's face turned out to be like this, "No wonder when Inspector Yang first arrived in the Central Plains, he also set up camp in Xiangyang, it seems that it is really the same as the hero." ”

Liu Ximing pursed his lips and smiled without explaining much, Yang Sichang was not a defender, at most he could only be led around by the nose of the rogue, in order to facilitate the deployment of troops, he had to set up the shuai camp in Xiangyang.

Instead, he admonished with a straight face: "The thieves are entrenched in Henan, and they may disturb Nanyang at any time in the future, Brother Yi Zhong still has a heavy burden on his shoulders, you must be more careful." ”

Xia Yi's face turned red with excitement, "Please rest assured, the lower officials will do their best." ”

Liu Ximing's army did not stay in Yuzhou for long, and after confirming that Li Zicheng had returned to Kaifeng with his troops, Liu Ximing left 30,000 militia regiments to garrison Yuzhou, and he entered Nanyang Mansion with other soldiers and horses.

After a year of development, Nanyang Mansion City, which had been ravaged and destroyed by the Rogues, once again showed its vitality.

With the Liu family and the Datong Society controlling the entire market, the people of the entire Nanyang Mansion began to be included in the Liu family's work system and lifestyle.

In the yamen of the Nanyang prefect's house, with Kong Deyao, the superintendent on his back, Liu Ximing summoned Dou Yuquan and others to hold a conference on the development of Nanyang.

Including Dou Yuquan, the deacons of the Liu family in Nanyang, as well as the high-level officers who controlled the militia groups, a total of dozens of people gathered together, which seemed to be extraordinary.

"Now in the city, I see that all industries in the city are prosperous, and it can be seen that there is merit in governing Nanyang by virtue, by the way, how many people are there in Nanyang now?"

As soon as he saw Dou Yuquan, Liu Ximing immediately asked about the topic he was most concerned about.

Speaking of this, Dou Yuquan immediately smiled a little and said: "Hehe, you may not believe it when you say it, but at the moment, there are more than 1.7 million people in our Nanyang Mansion." ”

"Hiss"

Liu Ximing gasped in surprise, "With so many people, it is estimated that there are only five or six million people in the entire territory of Henan, right?" ”

"Speaking of which, it's because of the Liukou", Dou Yuquan sighed, "Luoyang, Kaifeng and other big cities have been broken one after another, and the people in these places have all flocked to our Nanyang, and even many people from Shaanxi have come." ”

"Good, good, good, hahaha", Liu Ximing showed a smile on his face, "Population is the foundation of development, there are so many people, the development of Nanyang is promising, but can Nanyang still contain all these people?" ”

Dou Yuquan immediately patted his head and said: "You can rest assured, now the Tang Wangfu is extinct, and the land in the whole Nanyang is in our hands, with a total of more than 13 million mu of land, in addition to cash crops, it can produce 70 million stones of various grains every year, and feed thousands of people." ”

Liu Ximing only put his mind at this time, with the successful experience in Dengzhou and the inner countryside, it is not difficult for the Liu family system to be rolled out to the whole Nanyang Basin.

There are corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and high-yield rice and wheat that Liu Ximing has screened out by himself, and the food problem has never been a problem under the jurisdiction of the Liu family.

However, thinking of the issue of land ownership in Nanyang, Liu Ximing was moved in his heart, and it seemed that he had to write a letter to the court.

After mastering the situation of the whole mansion in Nanyang, Liu Ximing's heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

"From this point of view, our previous layout and planning are all right, and now that Zhao Xiangyang and others are in Xiangyang, if we can bring all this piece into our hands, then our foundation will be stable."

As he spoke, Liu Ximing looked at Mu Jingnan, who was also attending the meeting, "In the previous battles with the Liukou, although we won a big victory, but the entire territory of Nanyang is vast, and the militia is only 70,000 people, which is really too little, after you come down, you will add up to 50,000 and re-recruit 50,000 to ensure that Nanyang is fully armed." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to recruit soldiers again, Mu Jingnan immediately jumped up excitedly and stood up and saluted.

"Second brother, rest assured, I promise to complete the task."

"Hehe, that, when will our militia turn positive?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Jingnan immediately said with a hippie smile, seeing Shao Derong and the others promoted one by one, it would be impossible if he didn't have a little idea in his heart.

Liu Ximing was so familiar with this kid, he knew his thoughts as soon as he pouted, and immediately laughed and threw the folding fan in his hand at him.

"Useless guy, let you command the whole mansion, you still don't have a position, wait, now is not the time, otherwise I will appoint you as a commander of Nanyang first?"

Mu Jingnan caught the folding fan thrown over by Liu Ximing, and nodded with a smile, "This feels good, the second brother sealed it, then I will take it." ”

Liu Ximing rolled his eyes, "Let's talk about it first, no court official will recognize this." ”

"What do you want to be recognized by the officials of the Lao Shizi court, the second brother opened his mouth, I don't believe that anyone in this Nanyang area dares not to listen."

"Hahaha, exactly, I will only obey the second brother's order", as soon as Mu Jingnan's words came out, he immediately caused a group of officers in the room to laugh.

After so many years of development, a large number of outstanding officers have emerged in the Liu family's army, and it is needless to say that there are many people in the thrifty and frugal generations who have begun to serve as middle and high-level officers.

As for Liu's family affairs system, young people who have received a new generation of education have also begun to grow up.

From the sixth year of Chongzhen to the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Liu family's education system has cultivated more than 100,000 talents with primary school education or above for the Liu family.

It was these talents who supported the Liu family's grassroots rule in Luzon and the Central Plains.

At this moment, due to the establishment of the Luzon General's Mansion and the subsequent continuous expansion of the population base, this number is still expanding rapidly.

Seeing a group of energetic teams in the house, Liu Ximing felt a deep sense of pride and pride in his heart.
