The result of the negotiation was finally settled, and it was delivered to Li Tianyang, who was looking forward to it, which made him breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Then he hurriedly revised a letter to Qi Hu, the director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, asking him to seize this honeymoon period with the Ming Dynasty and recruit as many Ming Dynasty refugees as possible to Hongmen.

More of the displaced people recruited were sent to the Northeast Guanwai, and a small number were sent to Dayuan Island to live in the Luzon Islands. Although the north is now in the Xiaoice period, the entire winter time occupies almost half of the year, but because the Hongmen Ministry of Agriculture has understood the habit of sweet potatoes, corn and other foreign food crops, as well as the newly developed new rice and other crops gradually high yield, it can also make the northeast spring, summer and autumn output to feed the local people.

Of course, the land outside the Guan, which had just experienced the war in the early stage, could not be recovered immediately, and the war with the Qing people gradually disappeared, but it took a lot of time for the land that had been abandoned for a long time to be reclaimed and planted.

In addition, new crops such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes also need to be trained by agricultural professionals to educate the local people about the planting characteristics of these new crops in order to reap a bumper harvest.

For the common people, the emergence of a new thing often has a kind of suspicion and cautious attitude, and it is natural that resistance will appear.

Therefore, although Hongmen has gained a foothold in the northeast and occupies the land of the Liaodong Peninsula on the southern coast, it is also a difficult problem to meet them in the future.

Fortunately, whether it is Dayuan Island or Luzon Islands, Hongmen's geographical environment is very little affected by the climate of the Xiaoice period in the north, and the weather suitable for growing grain is extremely long.

For example, in the Luzon area, the land can be cultivated all year round to produce grain, and with a variety of manure technologies such as Hongmen, a piece of land is generally cultivated for at least three years before it will take turns to store fertility.

Although Dayuan Island is a little worse, it can also harvest at least two seasons of grain a year, so that Hongmen is now in short supply in other aspects, but there is no need to worry about this food at all.

This is also due to Li Tianyang's advance preparations, earlier Hongmen people were keen to plant more profitable cash crops, but when Li Tianyang decided to embark on the overall situation of competing for world dominance, through policies and financial subsidies, the vast majority of the land under Hongmen's command was planted with food.

The cultivation of Hongmen's own land and the grain taxes collected are not a big problem to meet Hongmen's military and administrative expenses, and there is still a lot of leftovers. However, these remnants are naturally no problem in peacetime, but in the previous war, or in the next possible war, they are not enough to make ends meet.

However, among the people, there is an infinite amount of grain hidden in the homes of the people under the command of Hongmen, as well as those manor owners and business owners who have huge estates, and they also have a huge amount of grain.

As long as the Hongmen had money and materials in their hands, it was a very simple matter to collect food from the people and the owners of the manor.

It is enough to fill the gap in food in Northeast China until the land output of Northeast China is self-sufficient, and even there is a surplus.

At the same time as receiving the good news from Dong Haoran from Nanjing, Li Tianyang and their side were not idle, the things that the Ming Dynasty did this time can be said to be the first of the Ming Dynasty, as its allies on the open side, Li Tianyang is naturally willing to let him see the sincerity of Hongmen.

Ten 48-pounder guns and 2,000 muskets were neatly transported by Qi Xintang to Hangzhou to receive a batch of goods, and soon they were delivered to Dong Haoran, who was still staying in Nanjing.

Even the Ming Dynasty didn't expect that this Hongmen was so generous, and the contract between the front feet had just been signed, and the back foot Hongmen sent more than half of the firearms.

Ten giant cannons, are Hongmen using Shilu mine produced steel casting, combined with the advanced casting technology obtained from the hands of Westerners, now the Hongmen artillery is not only lighter in weight at least one-third, and the cannon body is integrated, like a fine handicraft in general, and the power of the artillery is the same as the artillery owned by the Ming Dynasty.

Even the largest-caliber red-coated cannon imitated by the Ming Dynasty was far less powerful, lightweight, and accurate than the ten cannons sent to the Ming Dynasty government by Hongmen.

It's just that Hongmen also left a hand, the gun position aiming system was deleted, and the new gunpowder of Hongmen was kept secret, and even if the Ming Dynasty had these artillery, it could not give full play to its maximum firepower even if it was really used.

Not to mention, with the current financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, even if Hongmen signed a parity procurement contract with it, they may not be able to come up with much surplus money to purchase Hongmen's artillery.

However, the ten artillery pieces of Hongmen were sent to the Ming government in advance, but it was also regarded as a charcoal to the Ming court.

The high walls of the Jingshi City were strong, and after Sun Chuanting recovered most of the lost territory in the north, he stopped before the Jingshi.

Sun Chuanting is in China, and now the army is not very short, a large number of displaced people suffered from natural disasters or the scourge of the barbarians of the Qing Dynasty, after a winter passed, most of the people who survived were adult men, who were recruited by Sun Chuanting.

There are also many Han soldiers and generals who are in Cao Yuan's heart in Han, and Sun Chuanting also rose up after Sun Chuanting crossed the Yellow River and returned to his hometown to respond to the arrival of Wang Shi.

For a time, the number of troops in Sun Chuanting's hands had swelled to 260,000, so that when he regained the lost territory, he would not have to worry about running out of soldiers.

It's just that this number of troops can't give full play to their numerical superiority in front of the Jingshi who are entrenched in the city.

First, it is naturally because Jingshi is the emperor, and the royal family has strengthened and operated it for hundreds of years, and it has long been built into an impregnable existence, even if Sun Chuanting has more troops in his hands, he has also lost his geographical advantage.

Second, it is precisely because this is the residence of the Ming Emperor for hundreds of years, and all kinds of palaces in the city are complicated, and Sun Chuanting is also afraid that the use of siege equipment such as catapults and artillery will damage too many taboo places. At that time, even if Sun Chuanting paid a heavy price and took it back, when the small-minded Emperor Chongzhen returned to Beijing, he saw the devastation, I am afraid that he did not take the credit, and in turn he will get into trouble!

In this regard, Sun Chuanting's first department, and the main force of the Qing army stationed in the pass with the Qing Dynasty Aobai, with Jingshi and Zunhua as the boundary, temporarily stalemate.

And when the ten giant cannons of Hongmen were delivered to the Ming Dynasty, they also firmly said that Emperor Chongzhen and the cabinet were determined to recapture the capital at any cost.

After all, it is also a shame for the emperors of a country to be occupied by outsiders, and it is also disgraceful for the people and subjects of the country. Instead of being afraid that the royal capital would be destroyed in the war, it is better to destroy it and rebuild a new capital, which can be regarded as regaining some face.
