And many of the court officials hiding in Kaifeng Mansion are not necessarily backbone people, many of them have chosen to surrender Xiao Tianjian, for these people, Xiao Tianjian chose some of the most heinous corrupt officials, and pushed them out to kill, which is regarded as killing chickens and monkeys, and most of the officials who do not have much bad deeds are retained, after all, after these people become officials, they have more experience in managing the place, and after being reused, there is the supervision of the internal personnel of the Xingtianjun, forgive them and dare not do things as before, and now the territory is getting bigger and bigger, Relying only on the former scribes under Xiao Tianjian to manage these territories is obviously a bit stretched, so for the old officials of the imperial court, as long as they are willing to surrender and are capable people, it is still necessary to use them.

After all, these officials are all scholars, if they are not used, Xiao Tianjian asked himself that it is impossible to be the enemy of the world's scholars, it is easy to fight the world, and it is impossible to govern the world, without the cooperation of these literati, it is simply impossible, otherwise there may be a big regression in society.

However, in terms of employing people, Xiao Tianjian can no longer copy the old-style method of recruiting officials, and only select those who can read Bagu Wen, talk about Fengyue, and write a few lines of poetry to become officials, and he will gradually reform the recruitment of old-style officials in the future.

And now we have to start a gradual change, and gradually start to open various schools in various places, so that capable people from all walks of life have the opportunity to become officials, but this is not something that can be done in a word, and many things may not necessarily achieve good results if they radically change the trend of the world, and may even cause turmoil.

Fortunately, now he has the opportunity to lead the army to completely smash the old world and start over, and some things are progressing step by step, which is still very promising.

And the news that Kaifeng City was conquered, Xiao Tianjian deliberately let go of a few officials in Kaifeng Mansion who refused to surrender, and asked them to send them to the north of the Yellow River, and arranged for people to be sent to the jurisdiction of the government, so that they could report to the current emperor Zhu Youzhen, and at the same time ordered the King of Zhou to personally write a letter to Zhu Youzhen, one is to tell Zhu Youzhen that he, the King of Zhou, has surrendered to the Xingtian Army, and advised Chongzhen to abdicate. The wording was naturally thought of by King Zhou, although King Zhou was reluctant, but now that he had the knife of the Xingtianjun on his neck, he had to do it.

In fact, Xiao Tianjian didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to obey Ruliu, so he abdicated, he just wanted to deliberately anger Chongzhen, let Chongzhen know what would happen to the treachery of Xingtianjun.

After the Kaifeng War, a large number of wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen in Henan who avoided the city were all taken away, after these people were arrested, Xiao Tianjian arranged for them to be interrogated, and asked clearly who had the money to resist the Xingtian Army, and then confiscated all their family property, and the property of the Zhou Wangfu was also confiscated, only left to the King of Zhou a thousand taels of silver, so that they could live under the management of Lushi County in the future, if the thousand taels of silver were placed in an ordinary family, it was already very rich, but it was placed in the family of King Zhou, But even if he was poor and white, King Zhou cried in a mess, and after writing the letter and handing it to Xiao Tianjian, he was immediately sent out of Kaifeng Mansion by the whole family and went to Lushi County to find a place to settle.

After the statistics of the logistics department after the battle, a total of more than 4,000 enemies were killed, and the officers and soldiers captured did not count the thousands of people in Yang Wenyue's department, and a total of more than 7,000 officers and soldiers were captured.

In this way, the order in Kaifeng City was restored quickly, and the people could get 30 catties of food, and then take advantage of the fact that there were already wild vegetables and other things outside the city in the spring, and go out of the city to dig some wild vegetables, and make do with it to survive, and the phenomenon of starvation in Kaifeng City was immediately alleviated.

As for the seized materials, the amount of grain seized is very limited, after all, Kaifeng Mansion has been out of grain for a long time, but the number of various materials seized is still considerable, after confiscation, in Kaifeng City, a total of nearly 10,000 taels of gold were seized, nearly 7 million taels of silver, in addition to a large number of antiques, calligraphy and paintings and jewelry, etc., after all, this is the capital of Henan Province, a large number of gentry in order to keep their family wealth, have taken refuge in Kaifeng Mansion with soft things at home, So much so that a large amount of wealth in the province has been concentrated in Kaifeng Mansion, and now it is basically in the hands of Xiao Tianjian.

The wealth of the Ming Dynasty is already quite rich, most of it is concentrated in the hands of the gentry in various places, the imperial court collects only a very small part of the annual collection, and the wealth accumulated in the hands of the gentry and magnates of the people is astronomical, even so, or not all the rich people in Kaifeng City confiscated the income, if it is like other rebels like scraping the ground to collect, in Kaifeng City, it is not impossible to collect 10 million taels of silver.

It is no wonder that after Kaifeng Mansion was flooded by Li Zicheng's embankment in history, someone in the imperial court also gave Chongzhen an idea to let people go to Kaifeng City to salvage the sinking silver, and there was indeed a considerable amount of silver in Kaifeng Mansion that later sank into the Yellow River.

In addition, the rumors of Zhang Xianzhong's defeat in the army of Zhang Xianzhong in later generations in history are not necessarily false, and the rebellion is indeed profitable, after all, they have reconcentrated the wealth originally concentrated in the people into their own hands, and the amount of private wealth is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

In addition to gold and silver treasures, a large number of ordnance was also captured in this battle, just all kinds of artillery, there were hundreds of guns, and there were not a few kinds of weapons, and now they have all become Xiao Tianjian's pockets.

These things are not important, Kaifeng Mansion as the provincial capital of a province, was conquered by the Xingtian Army, the political significance is far greater than the military significance, this is the first provincial capital captured by the Xingtian Army, but also represents the Xingtian Army officially embarked on the road to compete for the world, indicating that the Xingtian Army has grown into a force that can win the world, and the surrender of the Zhou King and other royal families is of great significance, in the future in terms of striving for more court officials to surrender, this has a representative significance, in short, the fourth day of the fourth month of April, For the Xingtian Army, it is a memorable significance, and later historians have given a very high evaluation to the matter of the Xingtian Army's attack on the opening of the feudal mansion.
