After two days, the bandits who wanted to come to Hutou Mountain had washed Zhangjiabao clean, and Liu Renyu sent Li Jiye to Zhangjiabao, saying that early in the morning of the third day, the army of Zhenbeibao came to cover up, and the bandits in Hutou Mountain could retreat quickly.

Wang Scorpion replied that the collection in Zhangjiabao had been emptied, and he also had the intention of retreating, otherwise it would be very troublesome if he was bitten by the official army.

Early in the morning of the third day, Liu Renyu led a large army to kill, and the bandits of Hutou Mountain were invincible, so they fled and dispersed, leaving behind the palace that the displaced people who had been captured by the bandits of Hutou Mountain were also killed.

At this point, the matter of Zhangjiabao was over, and Liu Renyu went back and wrote a report to Sun Kuisheng, saying that the homeless people entangled a large group of bandits to attack and occupy Zhangjiabao, and the whole fort of Zhangjiabao was slaughtered, and no one was spared. He Liu Renyu led the army to be outnumbered and fought hard, although he repelled the thieves, but he could not save the lives of Zhangjiabao, so he blamed himself very much.

Sun Kuisheng, as well as the civil officials of Zuo Jinzhou County, read this report, and they didn't care at all, because that Zhangjiabao relied on his power and oppressed the locality, and the officials and generals dared not speak out against Zhang Nanxi, and now that the bandits have killed Zhang Nanxi, it is too late for the local government to be secretly happy, who will hold Liu Renyu responsible.

In addition, even if the Zhang family has some forces in Beijing, and the above intends to pursue it, they can't stand the civil uprising in Shaanxi at this time, and there are countless officials who have killed and rebelled, and the current officials have been killed a lot, and a township official will die if he dies, what else can he do? This is the end of the matter.

After finishing this vote, Liu Renyu seemed to have suddenly won a poor dick of 5 million. Silk, began to spend money hard, before not daring to recruit too many homeless people, now recruit another 200 households, then recruit artisan households, then recruit not the first talent, then recruit miners, Zhenbeibao will expand again.

And so on and so forth. The foundation of Zhenbei Fort is slowly expanding.

The matter of Zhangjiabao was over, Liu Renyu left Li Jiye to take his own banner soldiers and horses to stay in the camp to take care of the grain that had not yet been shipped, and the rest of the banners returned to Zhenbeibao with his class.

The army of Zhenbeibao passed through Jingbian Fort City, and Liu Renyu led the generals around him, carrying antiques, calligraphy and paintings, silver taels, and grain seized from Zhangjiabao, to visit the guerrilla general Sun Kuisheng.

The meeting was held in a friendly and peaceful atmosphere, and the guests and hosts exchanged views on the fact that Zhangjiabao was attacked by mountain bandits, and reached a consensus that Liu Renyu's side was not responsible for this incident.

After the meeting, the guests and hosts had a dinner in Sun Kuisheng's mansion, during which Liu Renyu sent people to send gifts, and Sun Kuisheng even said that this was the bloody battle of the soldiers of Zhenbei Fort, and they deserved it. Liu Renyu said that Sun Kuisheng once again sat in the center and commanded well, so that the soldiers of Zhenbei Fort could obtain such a victory.

Sun Kuisheng pretended to shirk it, and then accepted it with a smile. Under Liu Renyu's continuous sugar-coated bombardment, Sun Kuisheng became more and more fond of this newly rising Zhenbei fort general.

The guerrilla general Lian said that if the opportunity was right, he would promote Liu Renyu and entrust him with important tasks. Liu Renyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately said something like being willing to be Sun Kuisheng's lackey. Sun Kuisheng also said something like treating Liu Renyu as a confidant from now on.

After the dinner, Liu Renyu led his own soldiers and horses to rush back to Zhenbei Fort.

In Zhenbei Fort, Ma Tianjun, who is in charge of civil affairs in general, can't touch the ground with his busy feet. The grain seized in the battle of Zhangjiapu and the silver taels must be put into the warehouse, and the newly recruited refugees, artisan households, miners, and non-talented people must be incorporated into Lijia and assigned work.

Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, and He Ergou all selected strong and healthy sons from the displaced people to join the army, and after Li Jiye returned, he was ordered to go to Shanxi to recruit miners. Liu Renjie received a special order from Liu Renyu, asking him to recruit people to form Liu Renyu's direct news investigation banner.

Li Jiye took a few miners recruited last time to the construction site to talk about the project, those miners who were still risking their lives to mine in the mine, after seeing these former workers enter Zhenbei Fort to serve as soldiers, the people are also white, their waists are also straight, their purses are bulging, and even their houses and ladies are there, and their enthusiasm for being soldiers is unprecedentedly high for a while.

The recruitment office in Zhenbeibao was surrounded by miners, and everyone enthusiastically signed up. Lang Zhong, who came with Li Jiye, checked the body of the registered miner very carefully.

Those miners who were selected could immediately receive three months' salary in advance, and they were naturally overjoyed, while those who were not selected were mourned.

In this way, in just one day, the miners were selected, and Li Jiye returned to Zhenbeibao with his new subordinates.

After Li Jiye and others completed the recruitment of troops, Liu Renyu ordered the reserve officers to be selected from the various flags of the old generals of Duntai and enter the new banner as the captain (every 12 people are a team), and even the flag general.

These new flag commanders and flag commanders are responsible for the training of recruits, and their original vacancies are filled by those who have excellent skills in the recruits.

Li Jiye's Mining Bureau originally had three flags, one of which was a veteran, and the other two were recruits, and these recruits dug tunnels in the newly opened wasteland according to tradition. Except for these miners, the recruits of the other bureaus are specialized in the training of recruits.

Because of the new recruitment of a large number of new recruits, Li Jiye, Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, and He Ergou naturally rose to the top, and all of them became presidents.

The army is the foundation of Zhenbei Fort, and if the army is strong, Zhenbei Fort is safe. Only after the army has selected personnel can the matter of dividing the fields can be operated.

After the field was divided, Ma Tianjun ordered his subordinates to assign tasks, so that the displaced people had to use labor, regardless of men and women, to build the new town of Zhenbeibao.

The so-called Zhenbeibao New Town is to expand on the basis of the old city, and build new city walls, new houses, and new streets.

In addition, according to Liu Renyu's order, Ma Tianjun also ordered the superintendent to build Daming National Town Beibao Primary School, Daming National Town Beibao Technical Middle School, Daming Town Beibao Army Non-commissioned Officer School, Daming Town Beibao Administrative School, and Daming Town Beibao Night School.

When the school is established, the teachers naturally have to be allocated, and the teachers of the primary school do not choose to be poor and talented; The teachers of the technical middle school choose craftsmen, lingren (musicians), painters; The instructor of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School is Liu Renyu's own person; Teachers in administrative schools are appointed to serve as junior officials who have lost their positions; The teachers of the evening school are the teachers of the elementary school, and they only teach in the evenings.

When the construction of the north fort in the town was carried out in an orderly manner, it was unconsciously at the beginning of October of the second year of Chongzhen. At this time, Liu Renyu remembered quite clearly that Jiannu was going to send troops to attack the region, and the emperor would recruit soldiers from all over the world to go to King Qin.

Liu Renyu held his own carefully built troops, and this time he entered King Qin, he didn't dare to say that he would level Jiannu in one fell swoop, and it would be no problem to catch a small unit and kill a few Jiannu (he thought he was), so although there was still at least half a month before the court issued King Qin's order, Liu Renyu had already been preparing.

Since the day when Zhangjiabao returned to Zhenbeibao, Liu Renyu specially ordered Li Jiye, Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, and the veterans of He Ergou's veteran banner to each go to the logistics department to receive a horse, telling them to treat these horses like their own mothers.

These veterans used to be poor and sour in the soil, and now they don't talk about riding horses, maybe donkeys have never ridden, but now Shangguan has issued a horse, and it is a good horse and a good horse, saying that it is used in battle, and they are all excited and tearful. It's because these sergeants don't need to be explained by the officials at all, and they all use their own horses as ancestors.

When raising horses, these sergeants first give their own horses some nice and majestic names, such as lightning, wind, chasing wind, thunder and the like, and then the daily price is constantly washed and tied, some sergeants think that the horse material provided by the logistics department is not delicate enough, and the nutrition is not good, so they actually pay out of their own pockets to buy concentrate feed for their own horses to eat.

Under the careful feeding (or serving) of the sergeants, the horses were fat and strong.

Liu Renyu saw that the feeding effect was very good, so he ordered the sergeants to run around on horses in addition to training, so as to familiarize themselves with the feeling of riding horses.

The sergeants did as they were told, and soon the sergeants' horseback riding skills were greatly improved, and when they marched and fought in the future, it was wishful thinking to charge and kill the enemy on horseback, but it was no problem to run away on horseback.

Seeing that the sergeants were very well trained, Liu Renyu was slightly relieved, and now all he had to do was wait for the order of King Qin of the military department.

******************************************************************

At the same time, in Shenyang, the capital of the Later Jin Kingdom, above the court, Emperor Taiji of the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty sat upright on the main hall, and said to the flag officer and Han member of the palace: "In the past few years, the old Khan and I led the soldiers to attack the Ming, but they could not beat the Southern Dynasty (referring to the Ming Dynasty) Ningyuan and Jinzhou Jiancheng, and my soldiers suffered many casualties, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the people's hearts were unstable. And the Southern Dynasty spent money on food and salary, and it couldn't help my soldiers. Therefore, China has the will to make peace, and the Southern Dynasties also have the desire to make peace, but it is not very strong. I have written a letter of resignation many times and sent it to the ministers of the Southern Dynasty, saying that they want to make peace, but there is no actual response, so I am determined to send a large army to attack Ming again and force them to make peace. ”

The flagmen and Han members in the court thought that the Great Khan was going to send troops to attack Ningjin Jiancheng again, and they couldn't help but feel worried in their hearts, but the Great Khan's order was not fundamentally wrong and could not be disobeyed.

In the past, when the old Khan (Nurhachi) was there, as soon as he heard about the conquest of the Ming Dynasty, all the people of the Houjin Eight Banners cheered and said: "Get rich, you want to rob the west." ”

When they set out on the expedition, they were all family farewells, and everyone had expectations.

The lady said to her husband: "Grab more gold, silver, rice grain, rouge gouache, gold and silver for self-prepared ordnance, rice grain for eating, rouge gouache to draw eyebrows and eyes." ”

The child said to his father: "Grab more toys, Nanchao toys are really good." ”

The parents said to their son: "Grab more coatings, livestock, our land has been divided into so much, without coatings, livestock, it is not good to plant it." ”

The flag soldiers also have their own expectations: "Kill the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty, get a future, and sleep in the Southern Dynasty. Mother, cool. ”

In the past, when the blue-flag-inlaid banner soldier Hezheli heard that he was going to rob the west, he was overjoyed, and he said that he wanted to make a fortune, but this time he heard that he was going to go on the expedition again, but he was not happy at all, and he kept saying that he didn't know if he could come back alive this time.

Why?

Because the last expedition of the old Khan before his death was defeated under the Jiancheng of Ningyuan, and now the Great Khan has attacked the Ming Dynasty again, and he has been defeated under the Jiancheng again, twice against the Ming, two defeats in two battles, and many casualties.

The Jurchens were less than 10,000, and the myth of being invincible was shattered. The Jin Kingdom was shaken, the military spirit was floating, and the people of the Eight Banners of Manmeng were thinking that if the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty dared to fight like the Guanning Army in Liaodong, and did not need a few years of hard work, the Dajin Kingdom would inevitably be swept away by the Southern Dynasty, and these barbarians whose hands were stained with the blood of the Han people would definitely die without a place to be buried.

Encouraged by the two great victories in Liaodong, the Han slaves who worked in Hezheli's house suddenly straightened their waists.

When these Han slaves were whipped in a hurry, they would be angry and say: "And be kind to me, otherwise when the soldiers of the Celestial Empire hit here, I will not spare you." ”

If these words were spoken by those Han slaves when the Jurchens were victorious, Hezheli would definitely wave a butcher's knife without hesitation and kill these Han slaves cleanly.

But when this time period came out, Hezheli couldn't help but feel worried in his heart, if the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty really came, what would he do, so he actually endured it, and his attitude towards Han slaves was really a little better, this is the so-called being a man and leaving a line, and seeing each other in the future.

For this reason, when Hezheli set out on this expedition, the family was gloomy and miserable, and there was quite a mood of wind and depression and water cold, and Hezheli was gone and never returned.
