The time between the words came to June, the imperial court and the government were in a mess, but Xiao Tianjian was not idle here, after the defeat of Luoyang City, the Xingtian Army has been greatly supplemented in terms of financial resources and food, plus the summer harvest is imminent, and soon the summer grain of the new year will be harvested, although it is not guaranteed that their Xingtian Army will feed more displaced people, but the food to support them in the war is still enough.

What's more, the Xingtian Army will be in the middle of the war more often, relying on the war dividends to replenish the grain, so it is more cost-effective to fight a war than to stop and rest.

Of course, Xiao Tianjian did not forget about the construction of the people's livelihood, and urged Niu Jinxing and other officials who temporarily presided over civil affairs to establish effective control as soon as possible on the territory they already could control, and urged and helped the displaced people to resume agricultural production as quickly as possible. This has led to a sharp decline in grain production in various places and a large number of cultivated land has been abandoned, but in fact, man-made disasters are the more important reason.

Once the Xingtian Army controls the situation, it can return a relatively stable situation to the people, plus the Xingtian Army as a new force, basically there is no corrupt factor, officials at all levels are down-to-earth work, the people are still very willing to farm in such a situation, although the spring ploughing season has passed in various places, but once the order is re-established, under the protection of the strong force of the Xingtian Army, these displaced people still burst out with great enthusiasm for resuming production, The abandoned land in the newly controlled area of the Xingtian Army was quickly recultivated, even if the agricultural tools were not enough, the common people only relied on hoes and shovels to quickly reclaim a large amount of land.

Considering that in order to harvest a batch of grain as soon as possible and solve the problem of eating for some of the displaced people, the scribes of the Xingtianjun also instructed the people to plant a large number of fast-harvesting buckwheat, after all, this thing can be harvested in two months, and some other things can be planted when the land is freed. So that a part of the people who had just settled down could reduce their dependence on the Xingtian Army, so that Xiao Tianjian's offensive in Henan six months ago, agricultural production on a number of territories under his control quickly began to recover.

Of course, in order to solve the problem of resettlement of displaced people, craftsmen were selected in batches and began to set up workshops in various parts of the jurisdiction, these craftsmen relied on their craftsmanship to produce things, while obtaining financial resources for the Xingtianjun, providing armor, and on the other hand, in exchange for their living needs, so to a certain extent, the Xingtianjun has gradually formed a large number of publicly-owned workshops over the years, which has solved the employment problem of many laborers.

And Henan Henan is also rich in minerals, in addition to Lushan, Baofeng, Junzhou around the coal mines, there are some places with iron mines, Lingbao County also has gold mines, these mining and metallurgical industry, after the arrival of the Xingtian Army, most of them were confiscated by the Xingtian Army under the Xingtian Army, became the public property of the Xingtian Army, under the auspices of the local officials of the Xingtian Army, these mining and metallurgical industries were gradually restored, the original miners also found a way to eat, and solved some labor problems.

Of course, there are many craftsmen, who were exploited by the government in the past and have no way to become homeless, but now after the Xingtianjun provides them with survival guarantees, they have also begun to resume production, relying on their own craftsmanship to earn living materials, so small handicraft workshops in the family workshop, such as porcelain, textile, embroidery, bamboo weaving, woodware and other industries, have also begun to spring up after the arrival of the Xingtianjun, although there is not much effect at the moment, but Xiao Tianjian is very encouraging them to do so, Sooner or later, he believed that these small handicraft workshops would develop greatly and provide another solid guarantee for the finances of the Xingtian Army in the future.

And these things, Xiao Tianjian often no longer have to take care of it personally, his subordinates are not like before, there is a serious lack of scribes, after he sat firmly in western Henan, expanded his territory, and defeated the official army in successive battles, many scholars in order to make a living, but also had to put down the so-called idea of allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, and invested in the Xingtian Army, entered the clerical system, and did things for the Xingtian Army.

So if Xiao Tianjian has any ideas, as long as he clicks on the scribes under his command, these people will know what to do, and they will arrange it according to his instructions, and vigorously implement it.

Xiao Tianjian asked himself if he was not an all-rounder, but many of his knowledge was not comparable to the people of this era, every time he put forward some ideas, he always made his officials very admired, sometimes you don't necessarily want to do anything, but as long as you know how to do things, the people below will not dare to fool you, and even more on the punishment of the Heavenly Army as a new force, the current internal officials do not dare to do anything wrong, and they are also down-to-earth and willing to do things, and the efficiency of work is naturally not in the twilight of life, The entire official system was completely eroded, and the official government of the Ming Dynasty was much higher.

After stabilizing Luoyang, Xiao Tianjian immediately began to convene his generals and advisers to discuss the next course of action, and at this time, his generals and advisers began to disagree on this matter.

With Niu Jinxing as a faction, Xiao Tianjian is strongly advocated to attack the north, cross the river north and enter the Huaiqing Mansion, Zhangde Mansion, Weihui Mansion and other mansions north of the Yellow River, and point the troops directly to the Beijing Division, or face east, attack the Kaifeng Mansion, after the Kaifeng Mansion, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Central Plains, continue to the east to attack Shandong and the Lianghuai area, the Ming Dynasty will be cut off from the north and south, and when the time comes, the army will go north, attack the capital, you can get the world, the worst can also hit Tongguan, enter Shaanxi, take advantage of the chaotic situation in Shaanxi, capture Shaanxi, Obtain a passage south to Sichuan, which is rich and can provide sufficient financial resources for the Xingtian army.

But for the opinions of Niu Jinxing and others, Li Xin, who is newly under the command of Xiao Tianjian, has different opinions, in this regard, Li Xin reflects a stronger strategic vision than Niu Jinxing, but he believes that at present, it should not develop to the north, but should take advantage of the trend to the south, first capture Nanyang, and then take Xiangyang, open up a channel to go south to Huguang, and wave the army south to Huguang, because Huguang is an important grain producing area in the Ming Dynasty, and the water source is sufficient, not easy to appear famine, after controlling Jingxiang, you can wave the army along the river to the east, first hit Nanjing, Completely controlling the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty can not only obtain a stable rear, but also obtain sufficient food supply, and can also cut off the supply of the south to the northern Jingshi, and then the Ming Dynasty will naturally collapse.

And Li Xin's suggestion, Li Jinde also expressed his support, which made Niu Jinxing quite unhappy, feeling that Li Xin was just a junior, and he was also a tribute, unlike him who was born in a serious family, whether it was knowledge or insight, he was not as good as him, plus he was still a newcomer to Xiao Tianjian, so it was not Li Xin's turn to oppose his opinions.

And the generals are more simple, like Luo Li and others, they don't think too much about things, anyway, where Xiao Tianjian is pointing, they will hit wherever they go, such a brain-consuming work, it should have been done by people like Niu Jinxing, Li Jinde, and Li Xin, so they listened and coaxed, and after a while, they said that Niu Jinxing was right, and then nodded and said that what Li Xin said was reasonable.

In short, this time there was a lot of debate about the next development direction of Xing Tianjun, and Xiao Tianjian sat there and just let them fight, while he only listened, and did not express any opinions, if he was not a person from the next generation, maybe he really felt that it made sense to listen to anyone.

Later, Niu Jinxing simply said that he wanted him to be the king in Luoyang, after all, many of the leaders of the righteous army now call themselves kings, Li Zicheng became the king of Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong called himself the eight kings, and what else is the king of Shuntian, only Xiao Tianjian is still only called Xingtian, not the king, and now Xiao Tianjian should also be called the king, and then call on the army and the people to invade Beijing to pull down the current emperor Zhu Youzhen and replace him.

Regarding Niu Jinxing's proposal, all the generals unanimously agreed, and asked Xiao Tianjian to be the king, but Xiao Tianjian did not wave his hand until this time and said: "The matter of being called king is postponed, now let's talk about what we should do next, whether to call the king or not is just a false name, what can you do if you don't call the king?"

Okay, Mr. Niu and Li Xin, I have heard your opinions, as for what to do, I have my own conclusion, you don't have to argue about it anymore! No matter who it is, it is for the future of our Xingtian Army, and it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong!

And the next step I think is that we can first knock down Huaiqing Mansion and Weihui Mansion, so that we can connect Jinnan through Taihang Mountain, and then it depends on the situation! As for what to do in the future, I have my own measure! ”

As soon as Xiao Tianjian said this, Niu Jinxing became happy, because he felt that in this discussion, he suppressed Li Xin, if Xiao Tianjian was in accordance with Li Xin's opinion, then he would now order the south to attack Nanyang Mansion, but Xiao Tianjian still chose to cross the Yellow River north first, and go to northern Henan to fight Huaiqing Mansion and Weihui Mansion, after defeating these two mansions, then wouldn't Xiao Tianjian lead his troops to the north to attack the Beijing Division? So Niu Jinxing felt that he had won a game this time, so he looked at Li Xin quite smugly.

After Li Xin heard this, he looked at Li Jinde for a while, and his face showed a little worry, but since Xiao Tianjian had made up his mind, he, a newcomer, had nothing to say.

As for the generals, there is no opinion, where Xiao Tianjian wants to fight, they will follow it, anyway, they are all generals, and they eat food on the edge of the knife, as long as there is a battle, it will be.
