Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the late spring March of the third year of Da'an.

The great changes on the northern border have finally reached Laiwu County.

The fiasco of Yehuling, the terrible of the Mongols, was rumored to be a god, and it seemed that the Mongols defeated the 400,000 army of the Jin State with just one charge.

All kinds of rumors also began to fly all over the sky, one moment the Mongols had already conquered the central capital, another time the Mongols had already gone south to Shandong, and one moment the Mongols were driven away.

Chen Xian, who is familiar with history, knows that this Mongolian expedition did not capture the central capital, but only besieged the city for several months and plundered the Gyeonggi region.

The Mongols' crusade did not seem to have achieved much success, and after the Mongol cavalry left, it seemed that the Jin Kingdom immediately resumed its rule.

But this is not the case.

From the Mongolian side, they obtained the horse farm outside the Jinguo Pass, and obtained more than 100,000 horses, including many high-quality war horses, which further improved the strength of the Mongolian cavalry.

In addition, this crusade not only allowed the Mongols to obtain a large amount of supplies and population, but also captured a large amount of iron armor from the Jin army!

Some people think that the Mongolian cavalry are all archers, but in fact this is not the case, in the Mongolian cavalry, the heavy cavalry accounts for about forty percent, no matter how powerful the archers are, they can't break the formation, and finally they need the armored cavalry to charge the formation and lock the victory.

In head-to-head combat, the Mongols relied mainly on cavalry archers to pull the enemy's formation and create opportunities, but when the opportunity presented itself, it was the heavy cavalry that made the final decision.

As a result of this crusade, the Mongols not only established a strong strategic self-confidence, but also gained the capital to dominate Eurasia.

For the Jin Kingdom, this war disrupted the political situation of the court and caused huge political chaos, making them frequent internal power changes and frequent tricks in the next two years.

But none of this matters to Chen Xian.

When the news of the defeat of Yehuling reached Laiwu, Chen Xian happened to have completed the basic digestion of the newly acquired population last time, and he recruited another 1,500 recruits from these populations.

Chen Xian transferred the backbone from the original four infantry battalions, reorganized the fifth and sixth infantry battalions, and drew 300 more from the veterans, formed three new cavalry companies, and handed them over to Yang Miaozhen for training.

After buying another 2,000 war horses, Yang Miaozhen's cavalry troops were basically reduced to horse herdsmen's troops, and they spent most of the day taking care of the horses.

Chen Xian had to recruit hundreds of people who knew how to raise horses from the militia, sent them to the horse farm, and handed them over to Yang Miaozhen.

After the conscription, Chen Xian only conducted a month's intensive training before hurriedly sending troops again.

These recruits, in fact, have already undergone paramilitary training in schools or when they were militiamen, and after being recruited into the army, after a month of intensive training, under the leadership of the veteran backbone, they are barely usable.

Chen Xian had avoided the Jurchen stockade when he sent troops before, but this time, he would no longer let go of the Jurchen stockade.

Chen Xian is not a person of this era, and he does not have any bitter hatred for the Jurchens of this era, so his policy towards the Jurchens is basically the same as that of Haoqiang, those who flee will not pursue, and those who do not resist will not be killed, but they will confiscate the land and drive away those with vested interests.

But this has a premise, you can't resist, you can't shed blood, once a certain stockade makes Chen Xian's soldiers bleed, then what awaits this stockade is a brutal purge, the landlords in the fortress are strong, and the Jurchens ...... All vested interests will be thoroughly cleansed!

In short, Chen Xian not only had to master all the resources of the occupied area, but also made the new people obedient to him, so as to reduce the difficulty for him to digest the new land, because time is running out!

Chen Xian's troops this time, when attacking the Haoqiang fortress, there was almost no resistance, and the Haoqiang of each fortress either fled with their families, or simply opened the door and knelt down.

But when attacking some Jurchen fortresses, they met with some resistance.

Chen Xian had nothing to be polite to these Jurchens who had been lying on Han'er for hundreds of years of blood, and he did not hesitate to order a purge order for the Jurchen villages that dared to resist.

Anyway, Chen Xian didn't kill them, and when the Mongols completely destroyed the rule of the Jin State, they would also slaughter the local Han people.

In fact, the massacre of the Jurchens by the Han people was certainly the hatred accumulated over the past hundred years, but more importantly, driven by interests.

In the history of the Jin State, there were several orders to confiscate the land of the Han people and redistribute it to the poor Jurchens, the most recent one, not far from now, so most of the Jurchens, more or less, were landlords.

When these borers lose the protection of the state, they naturally become fat insects, and everyone fights to eat them.

There was resistance, naturally there were those who fled and surrendered, and those who fled did not care about it, the landlords who surrendered were driven to the county seat by Chen Xian to settle down, and the Jurchens who surrendered were barbarically driven away, and Chen Xian only allowed them to take a small package with no one to take away.

It's not that Chen Xian hates or discriminates against the Jurchens, it's really that most of these people don't have the ability to work, it's true that the population is a resource, but not all the population is a resource, and these Jurchens who have been raised and abolished really can't be regarded as resources.

Although there are also useful people among the Jurchens, the proportion is really not much, and it is not worth Chen Xian's screening.

Moreover, almost all of these Jurchens are landlords, maybe today under fear, they handed over the land, and tomorrow they will not regret it, leaving them is a time bomb, or drive them away and give the Jin court a headache.

This time, Chen Xian basically occupied Laiwu County.

The entire Laiwu County has a population of almost 780,000, which is considered a medium-sized county, and of these 780,000 people, one-third of them are in the Haoqiang fortress, one-third of them are in the Jurchen fortress, and about 6,700 people live inside and outside the county, and the rest are in some remote areas, forming villages to protect themselves and open up the wasteland for food.

Chen Xian's dispatch of troops was not aimed at the county seat at the beginning, but the officials in the county fled when they heard the news, probably because they felt that the Jin country was in turmoil, and Chen Xian would no longer care about the imperial court, and he was afraid that Chen Xian, who had vicious methods, would purge them.

Chen Xian ignored these fleeing officials, and he wished that these people would roll as far away as possible, so as not to waste his knife.

After the occupation of Laiwu, Chen Xian transferred apprentices from his subordinates to establish a school-centered management system in each fortress.

Among the more than a dozen large and medium-sized forts he newly occupied, in addition to establishing a central school, a metropolitan court, a town mayor, a courthouse, an agricultural company...... In addition to other institutions, 100 old militia families were relocated to each fort, and basically 160 or 70 new households were relocated to each fort.

In order to facilitate management, Chen Xian transferred the more prestigious and influential families in each newly occupied fortress, such as scholars, yeoman farmers, and large families with many brothers.

Basically, one hundred and seventy or eighty households had to be drawn from each fort, which was exactly the same as the population he had sent.

These displaced populations were dispersed and recharged into the old districts.

Without these high-prestige individuals, or perhaps powerful families, the newly occupied fortress people would have become a mess and would have been easier to transform.

Prestigious people will naturally lose their prestige when they go to a strange place, and powerful families will naturally lose their power if they are scattered and assigned to a strange place......
