539, Preliminary Jingdong (1)

After being frightened that day, Cai You obviously made a lot of changes, which can be seen from his initiative to ask to give up his prison palace to Zheng Fei, Zheng Fei did not accept it, he said to Cai You, "Lord Cai is an envoy sent by the emperor, and his status is respected, if the envoy is wronged and spread to Tokyo, even if the emperor does not blame us, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will say that our Heavenly Dao Army is not sensible." ”

Cai You couldn't tell which sentence of Zheng Fei was true and which sentence was false, and just about to continue to push, Zheng Fei smiled with a smile, "Although the envoy can live in peace, you and my brother still have a long time to get along, so don't calculate this matter." In the future, I will rely more on Brother Cai to give my brother and me and the Heavenly Dao Army a few kind words in the court, so that the emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will also know the difficulties of our Heavenly Dao Army. ”

If you want to put it in Tokyo in the past, there are so many people who want to have a relationship with him Cai Youpan inside and out, but there are few people who can really be looked at by Cai You, and there are only a handful of people who can be called brothers, but today being able to be called a brother by Zheng Fei makes Cai You somehow feel happy and flattered, especially when he obviously heard the friendly signal in Zheng Fei's words, which made his heart that had been uneasy since last night finally relaxed a lot. Now he doesn't think much about anything, he just hopes to be a prisoner on Jingdong Road for a while, and then his father Cai Jing will find a way to transfer him back to Tokyo as soon as possible.

In short, in a word, do not seek merit, but seek peace!

As a result, Cai Yu has changed more and more, Zheng Fei wants to have a meeting, he will go to the meeting, and when he goes, he will be a wooden man, and he will remember what he should remember in his heart, and all his opinions will be reserved; If Zheng Fei consults him, he agrees with all those who do not involve principles, and he makes excuses when there are hidden dangers; When he returned home, he reported whatever he needed to report to the court, and he didn't say anything superfluous, extraneous, or that could cause unnecessary trouble; As for the unrealistic ideas such as winning over the senior generals of the Heavenly Dao Army and setting up Zheng Fei in the past, he had already thrown them out of his mind.

And with these changes, his life became better, he encountered fewer and fewer troubles, and his seats in meetings became more and more advanced, from eighth to fifth, from fifth to third, and even before long, he was finally promoted to second place. In short, Zheng Fei gave him more and more face.

After getting Cai You, Zheng Fei began to burn three fires on Jingdong Road.

The first fire is to punish injustice on a large scale, redress grievances for the people, and win the support of the people.

Since most of the officials captured during the attack on Jingdong Road were returned to the Great Song Dynasty because of Zhao'an, they naturally could no longer be tried, and those powerful bullies with bad deeds in various places became the focus of punishment.

The Heavenly Dao Army issued an announcement, no matter whether the people have grievances or grievances, just come to report, as long as it can be verified, the Heavenly Dao Army will definitely call the shots for you. Of course, don't take the Heavenly Dao Army as a fool, if anyone deliberately frames him, he will be punished equally severely. Our Heavenly Dao Army only upholds fairness and justice, whether it is a civilian or a rich man, as long as he abides by the law, he will also be protected by the Heavenly Dao Army.

For a time, the people rushed to tell each other, batch after batch of old unjust cases were revealed, and batch after batch of powerful bullies who relied on the support of corrupt officials and corrupt officials to commit crimes were duly punished, and won the praise of the people in unison.

At the same time, the vast majority of honest rich peasants, big households, businessmen, and rich people were not implicated, which greatly stabilized the social order of Jingdong Road and basically achieved the expected goal.

The second fire is to carry out large-scale "land reform" on Jingdong Road, when the Tiandao Army left Jingdong West Road, there were more than 570,000 households in various states, with a population of more than 2.6 million people, these populations are not only a large amount of priceless wealth, but also a heavy burden, the reason why Zheng Fei decided to take them away was not entirely out of the consideration of giving the imperial court an "empty road" and "empty state", but also could not bear to leave the people who loved the Tiandao Army, so, on the principle of voluntariness, after the call of the Tiandao Army, when the Tiandao Army completely evacuated Jingdong West Road, A total of more than 1.8 million people have registered and voluntarily moved to Jingdong Road, and Zheng Fei's promise to them is to arrange a new life for them in Jingdong Road.

After the Tiandao Army took control of Xinjingdong Road, there were more than 81 households in the original Jingdong East Road prefectures, with a population of more than 3.7 million, plus the migration from Jingdong East Road to 1.8 million people, the total population of Xinjingdong Road reached nearly 5.6 million, of which the total population without land is estimated to be more than 2 million, and the difficulty of arranging livelihoods for all these people can be imagined, so it is urgent to carry out land reform!

Zheng Fei first ordered that all the land occupied by the corrupt officials who had fled Xinjingdong Road and the local tyrants and bullies who had just been punished and confiscated all their property be confiscated and counted, and then given priority to the people of the original Jingjing Jingxi Road, but although the amount of these lands was huge, it was still far from enough.

Zheng Fei set his sights on a large amount of uncultivated wasteland, especially in the southern mountainous areas, stipulating that as long as anyone could reclaim wasteland, the land would be his, and he would not have to pay rent for three years, which consumed a large number of people.

At the same time, a series of other measures were carried out at the same time, such as all the people of the original Jingdong East Road who could make a living on their own, they could enjoy the exemption of various taxes for three years, such as according to the advantage of Jingdong East Road being by the sea, Zheng Fei also encouraged the people to devote themselves to marine fishing. After this series of measures, the vast majority of people have found a new means of livelihood in Xinjingdong Road. But there are still a considerable part of the population in a state of unemployment, Zheng Fei thought hard and thought of a way, that is, the Heavenly Dao Army came forward, recruited a large number of these people, paid them wages, and led them to carry out public works in Xinjingdong Road, such as repairing river embankments, repairing city walls, paving roads within and between states, and so on.

Finally, the huge unemployed population was completely digested.

The third fire is to vigorously develop commerce and strengthen trade with the Great Song Dynasty.

Allowing the Great Song Dynasty to lift the border blockade and freely carry out trade with the Great Song Dynasty was one of the most important purposes of Zheng Fei's pursuit of Zhao'an. To this end, Zheng Fei clearly announced that the Heavenly Dao Army encouraged the development of commerce, respected the social status of merchants, greatly reduced commercial taxes, and encouraged merchants to go to the Great Song Dynasty to transport grain, grass, ores and other materials that were lacking in Jingdong Road back to Jingdong Road. At the same time, Zheng Fei sent warnings to the Song army around Jingdong Road through Cai You, warning them not to make things difficult for our merchants on Jingdong Road, if anyone is found to be deliberately bad, our Tiandao Army will go to the imperial court, go to the emperor to sue the emperor, if the emperor doesn't care, then our Tiandao Army will go out on its own, and even go out of Jingdong Road to teach those people, and even re-break out of the war, our Tiandao Army wants to see what the imperial court will do if a war breaks out! Zheng Fei knows very well that now the Heavenly Dao Army is a hornet's nest that any Song Army cannot provoke, and the more ruthless you behave, the more afraid they will be of you!

While carrying out these three fires, an equally important thing is also in full swing, that is, the formation of the navy of the Heavenly Dao Army!

With the withdrawal of the Tiandao Army from Jingxi Road and Liangshanbo, the original Liangshan Bo Water Division must also be evacuated, although Liangshan Shuibo is not a backwater, but it is very unfortunate that there is no water source around to the sea, so the water army can only go ashore to go to Jingdong Road, they bid farewell to Liangshanbo, and burned all the warships with a fire.

Almost more than half of the area of Xinjingdong Road is near the sea, and the long coastline stretches for more than 3,000 kilometers from south to east and from east to north! This is not only a fortune, but it can bring Zheng Fei and the Heavenly Dao Army infinite hope. But it is also equivalent to a long, almost undefended border, and the enemy can enter Jingdong Road by sea at any time.

The Great Song Dynasty had a naval division on the original Jingdong Road, stationed in Dengzhou, but with Dengzhou being ceded to the Tiandao Army, all the Dengzhou naval divisions also fled south from the sea, and the Tiandao Army did not capture any of the Great Song sailors, nor did they capture any warship.

The escaped Dengzhou Navy Division and the Great Song Dynasty's originally set up in the south became a hidden danger for the Heavenly Dao Army, so it was necessary to form the Heavenly Dao Army's own navy as soon as possible to protect the coastline of Jingdong Road and prevent the Great Song Dynasty from blockading the Heavenly Dao Army on the ocean.

And the original Liangshan Boshui Military Brigade has become the team that formed the Tiandao Army Navy, these water brothers are all masters in inland lakes and rivers, although the ocean is new to them, but as long as they are given enough time to adapt, it is only a matter of time to become a dragon in the sea.

Zheng Fei ordered a large number of recruits to be recruited among the fishermen in the coastal states, and under the attraction of the generous treatment of the Tiandao Army, more than 10,000 recruits were recruited in a short period of time, and with the addition of nearly 3,000 people in the Yuanshui Army, it reached nearly 20,000. Zheng Fei divided everyone into two, and officially established the two major sailors of the Tiandao Army in Dengzhou Port and Jiaozhou Bay in Laizhou.

Since it is a sailor, it is not enough to have people, and warships are also needed, and they are not the kind of warships in inland lakes, but warships that are especially adapted to the ocean, the original warships were driven away by the Dengzhou Sailors, and those that could not be driven away were also scuttled by them, so they could only build ships on the spot, and it was not until this time that Zheng Fei knew something that made him almost vomit blood......
