The two retired ministers of the Zhang family in Yingzhou did not escape when the Liukou attacked the city, and scolded when they were caught by the Liukou and finally died tragically.

After Zhu Dadian played these deeds to the imperial court, the two heads of the Zhang family were posthumously gifted by Chongzhen.

The Zhang family has become a model of loyalty and righteousness, and the imperial court not only mourns the deceased, but also gives the living the opportunity to enter the office.

The head of the house, Sun Zhang Dezheng, has already been admitted to the examination, and this time he immediately got a real vacancy, and was appointed as the county magistrate of Qianshan County, under the jurisdiction of Anqing Mansion.

In order to thank them for saving their lives, they agreed to lease 100,000 acres of land and property to Gu Rushan to organize manpower reclamation.

The Liukou ravaged the border of Yingzhou, and almost every family had relatives killed, which frightened many landlords, old wealth, and scholars, and at the same time thanked the "Red Banner Army" for their timely rescue, they sincerely hoped that these brave men who dared to fight and did not disturb the people would stay.

Zhizhou Yin Mengao and Zhao Shikuan and other Yingzhou officials not only did not stop Gu Rushan and Ma Fulin from leading their subordinates to collect the ownerless acres, but also did their best to help them legalize the acres of land they obtained.

They also took the initiative to negotiate with the major landlords and adopted the methods of replacement, leasing, and purchase to let the "Red Flag Army" tuntian fields be contiguous so as to facilitate the management of small watersheds.

The groundwater in Yingzhou is voluntarily abundant, and a 10-meter irrigation well can be dug to obtain a steady stream of groundwater, and one irrigation well is enough to ensure the drought-resistant needs of 20 or 30 acres of land.

Huoqiu County and Yingzhou City are both large plains that are difficult to defend, and only cities can be relied on, so although there are as many as 10 or 20 million acres of fields here, with the "Red Banner Army" 1,000 or more people and horses, it is impossible to reclaim too much.

At present, only one million mu of wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and maize have been replanted in a timely manner, and due to the unnatural death of a large number of people in the land boundary of Zhongdu, the land contradictions are no longer prominent, and a lot of land is not cultivated at all.

Gu Rushan has organized one or two hundred thousand villagers to train spurts with ash poles and spears, and many of them can ride horses and have martial arts.

In order to gain the allegiance of these people, each of the families of the villagers who participated in the training had no less than 30 acres of land, and the "Red Banner Army" announced in a high-profile manner that it would only charge half of the output and contract all the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

The common people know that as long as they plant the land under their name with peace of mind, they can leave 35 stones of grain at their disposal when they harvest 70 stones, and their enthusiasm is unprecedented.

Naturally, the regimental training is to select people who have a clean family background and have martial arts or can ride horses, and now there are 3,600 people who are half-time training.

Without exception, these people are families with two or more males, and they only need to participate in the work during the busy farming season, which basically does not affect the cultivation of the family.

Encountering the baptism of war, the common people and squires and doctors in this area of Yingzhou were educated by the Liukou, and they improved their understanding a lot, and finally knew the truth that there are no eggs under the nest, and knew that their home would be destroyed sooner or later.

No one hindered the "Red Banner Army" from organizing regimental training and mobilizing materials, and the villagers who participated in the training also took the initiative.

Yin Mengao, the governor of Zhizhou, and a group of Yingzhou officials, who escaped death, were amazed by the ability of the "Red Banner Army" to calm the people and train the troops, and they did not care whether the imperial court was suspicious of the Marquis of Dongping, and was willing to cooperate with the "Red Flag Army" to defend this vast plain.

There were too many displaced people, too little food, Yingzhou officials were helpless, and when the hungry people gradually increased, the "Sun and Moon Sea" and the Sifang Express jointly transported more than 100,000 stone of grain.

That is Shen Ming, Huang Kezao and so on to run the Japanese trade all the way smoothly, because of the familiar road everything went smoothly took more than a month to return safely, transported back to the country of 500,000 stones, now the system has enough food, can fully support the mainland.

In order to prevent hungry people from gathering in the mountains and forests, raiding homes and robbing houses, and destroying the situation that had been stabilized with great difficulty, the "Red Banner Army" took out money and grain to organize a major project to build fortifications.

There is no good way to defend the plain, but to take the method of digging trenches to save time, effort and cost, using natural rivers as barriers, digging trenches and earth walls in wide areas requires a lot of labor.

The "Red Banner Army" has given every strong laborer who participates in the labor a model of taking care of three meals and five buckets of miscellaneous grains every month, and gathered 100,000 young and middle-aged men, so long as these people are well managed, they will be able to ensure that dozens of millions of hungry people will not take risks.

Relatively speaking, it was relatively easy to run Anqing Mansion, which was close to the Yangtze River, and irrigation was more convenient.

Pei Yuanwu led a general of the newly formed trainee cavalry to patrol around Anqing Mansion for a hundred miles, training the cavalry to fight at the same time, but also inspecting the abandoned fields.

The land and water in the counties along the river are fertile and beautiful, and the vast majority of them can ensure the harvest in drought and flood, how can they destroy the heavens? Luo Mingshi took the homeless people to take the land, no matter whose land it was, first grabbed the crops and then talked about them, and then talked about renting and buying when the master came forward to ask for them.

The He family in Tongcheng County, eighty miles northeast of Anqing Mansion, is also a family of two jinshi, He Rushen and He Ruzhong are the two brothers of the same list of jinshi, and the second class of the same class is born as a jinshi, which is really rare.

The elder brother He Rushen was appointed as the head of the household department, promoted to the state prefect, looked for to participate in politics and guarded Jiahu, and returned to his hometown after moving to the right of Zhejiang.

The younger brother He Ru is even more unbelievable, the official at least Bao, the Hubu Shangshu, the scholar of Wu Yingdian, Chongzhen for six years, the first assistant Zhou Yanru was dismissed by Wen Tiren, and the emperor summoned He Ruzhong to replace the first assistant.

However, how to pet Su knew that Wen Tiren was insidious and cunning, and disdained to have a negative trust from the Son of Heaven with him, and went to Huai'an, and resolutely resigned six times, Chongzhen had to give up when he saw him like this.

The He family brothers have a good official reputation, they belong to the big officials with integrity, the country is so erosive, the rogue has hit Nanzhili, and the two retired officials are also worried.

The common people in the four towns and eight soils are spreading that the "Red Banner Army" of the Marquis of Dongping assisted in the defense of Anqing Mansion, defeated more than 200,000 thieves and rogues in one fell swoop, and kept one side safe, and now they have taken out grain to organize more than 100,000 people to be busy with spring ploughing.

He Rupet and He Rushen took a few family members to visit secretly for a month, and looked at what the "Red Flag Army" had done, although they had not seen Dongping Hou, they had already had too much good impression at this time.

They also hoped that the "Red Flag Army" would take root in the territory of Anqing Prefecture, and He Ruzhong directly used his old connections to protect Luo Mingshi as the inspector of Tongcheng County.

Many landlords who deserted from the army returned to their hometowns to find that their fields had been planted by others, which of course caused a lot of disputes.
