Chapter 102: Strength Expands
In fact, after blackmailing Liu Jiyu, Yuan Chao immediately aimed his gun at those who were involved in this matter.
Several old families were frightened in the prison, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"Lord Yuan, the sky can be seen, I Zhou Chong was coerced, I Zhou Chong didn't do anything bad." Zhou Chong, an eight-foot-tall man in the prison, cried like a wronged little girl.
"Lord Zhou, don't be too nervous, I'll help you take care of it." Yuan Chao smiled and asked them to obediently hand over most of the savings and occupied military land since they became officials.
As for the first evil Jiang Feng, the Yuan Dynasty didn't pay too much attention to it, such a court offense was naturally waiting to be handed over to the imperial court, and when the Yuan Dynasty handed him over to the imperial court, the Yuan Dynasty certainly understood what the consequences would be waiting for them.
And Liu Guo has this opponent, and Yuan Chao also does not intend to give a chance, and directly goes through the procedure to let the court handle the seizure.
At this point, Yuan Chao privately arranged the fate of these people.
As soon as Zhou Huaji came, these people were basically the same as the handling opinions drawn up by Yuan Chao.
Jiang Feng and Liu Guoguo were handed over to the imperial court for processing.
Liu Jiyu was framed by design and could only commit himself to the thief camp, but he still sent a message to the official army in time, and he had merit in breaking the enemy, and his merits and demerits were offset by each other, and he was still the same person in Chenzhou.
The same is true for several thousand households, whose merits and demerits are offset by each other's duties.
The captured White Lotus Sect members were escorted to the capital and waited for the next step.
When the results of this treatment were announced, Liu Jiyu cried excitedly, thinking that his family's wife and wife would be unable to save their lives, but he didn't expect Yuan Chaobi to walk the dragon and snake, and an operation not only saved his wife and children, but also saved his own black yarn.
Those thousands of households, even more grateful, wept silently.
The handling of this matter will be over.
And Yuan Chao and Sun Zushou began to organize the resources in their hands.
This time, Sun Zushou also became a provincial official, and Sun Zushou had to go to the capital to command the secretary of the yamen to show his face and stand on his feet.
In order to prepare for this appointment, Sun Zushou selected 500 people from the more than 1,500 people under his command after this war, equipped with the latest equipment, and acted as his own cronies and soldiers to support himself.
And Yuan Chao was not polite, and prepared two thousand taels of silver as Sun Zushou's dot in the yamen.
Although Sun Zushou wanted to resign, he was also persuaded by Yuan Chao.
And the remaining more than 1,000 people of Sun Zushou are as a full number of Chinese army thousands of households, and continue to be stationed in Chenzhouwei.
Yuan Chao immediately assumed the position of Zuo Qianhu.
After this great battle, the Yuan Dynasty only had more than 700 men left, and the army, which had originally swelled to nearly 1,000 people, was reduced to a dissatisfied.
The trump card in his hand was not in the best condition, which was naturally unbearable for Yuan Chao.
The Yuan Dynasty immediately continued to recruit honest and honest soldiers with good conditions from the nearly 1,000 White Lotus Sectists who were left behind, as well as the original two old thousand households, and even ordinary people.
The army of the Yuan Dynasty itself was honored, and it had generous treatment such as 20 acres of military land, so it was naturally a cloud of responders for a while.
In the case of selecting the best of the best, it is easy to get together the full establishment of more than 1,000 people in this left thousand households.
Yuan Xu directly led the pikemen of four hundred households.
Yang Hao directly led three hundred pikemen.
Quling directly led a hundred bird soldiers.
Kong Ergou directly led a cavalry of 100 households.
In addition, in this war, the Yuan Dynasty saw the epoch-making power brought by artillery, and formed a professional artillery team of 100 households. Huang Zuyu led people to serve as teachers, taught soldiers to fire artillery, and still Quling directly managed hundreds of artillery teams.
This large-scale expansion of the army, insufficient guns and ordnance, the Yuan Dynasty once again sent people to buy immediately.
And the remaining front, rear, right three thousand households, is still held by three old thousand households, after this catastrophe, these original old thousand households have long seen the ability of the Yuan Dynasty, they rushed to the Yuan Dynasty one by one to express their willingness to follow, willing to Yuan Dynasty horse head is the first to see.
The Yuan Dynasty was naturally willing to expand its influence, so it continued to strengthen the management of the three thousand households, Zhou Chong, Zhou Dadi, and Chu Kuo, the three thousand households, nominally on an equal footing with the Yuan Dynasty, were also the officials of the Thousand Households, but in fact, everything was based on the Yuan Dynasty.
Yuan Chao also took the opportunity to rectify the three thousand households of them, the province was too overwhelmed, and he didn't even have the ability to help at a critical time.
It was also through conscription and replenishment of the White Lotus Sect's prisoners who performed well that the three thousand households reached full capacity, and the military fields collected this time were distributed to these soldiers, so that these soldiers began to live a life of land and food, which greatly stimulated their enthusiasm for doing things.
This also indicates that Chen Zhouwei's army, except for the Chinese army Qianhu, is completely obedient to the dispatch of the Yuan Dynasty.
And Liu Jiyu no longer opposes Yuan An, and regards Yuan Chao as a life-saving benefactor. Without Liu Jiyu's constraints, Yuan An was also able to tilt more resources towards Chenzhuang of the Yuan Dynasty, and coupled with the good land confiscated by the Yuan Dynasty, the entire Chenzhuang controlled a large amount of civilian land except for the military field.
According to Yuan Bao's statistics, the population of Chenzhuang has grown from more than 6,000 people to more than 7,000 now.
The business of Chenzhuang has been under the unified layout of Wang Ze, began to operate, the entire market in the north and south are familiar, and now the transportation team of Chenzhuang managed by Chen Panhai is engaged in the trade of all kinds of goods in the north and south.
Not only has the grain business been good, but the salt, vinegar, timber, cloth and other businesses have all improved greatly. He created great wealth for the Yuan Dynasty at all times.
Some time ago, Yuan Chao asked Wang Ze about the amount of money on the entire account.
I don't know if I don't know, I was shocked when I asked, the amount given by Wang Ze made Yuan Chao overjoyed, and now the amount of wealth in the entire book is generally kept at about 40,000 taels of silver. This is not counting the total assets, the total assets have reached about 100,000 taels, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Yuan Dynasty became a successful businessman, which is why the Yuan Dynasty was able to replenish the army and ordnance so generously.
Yuan Chao looked at these achievements, and he was also a little emotional for a while, from coming to Daming by chance in May of the second year of Daming Chongzhen, to now Daming Chongzhen in April of the third year. In nearly a year, he had already had a solid foundation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the sense of accomplishment that he wanted to come from Yuan Dynasty was a little fluttering.
But reality is also waiting for him, as time goes by, Yuan Chao understands that the external environment will further deteriorate, and the degree of difficulty will increase exponentially, seize the opportunity, and then enhance his own strength, this is not to add icing on the cake, but to be able to overcome the next difficulties.
