Surprised, the strength of the Qing army made Zhang Qiang surprised, but after careful consideration, from the point of view of quality or sophistication of weapons, today's Chinese regular army can be three times more powerful than the Qing army, if the war starts, Zhang Qiang is confident that he will win the second big victory against the Qing army with a three-to-one force exchange ratio.

Tian Bin's intelligence was detailed and powerful, allowing the Huaxia army to know their enemies very well.

Then carefully review the information read, the Huaxia Army still has a favorable situation, Mi Lin's right-hand men, Zhao Hu and Wang Chong entered the first town of the new army where Tian Bin was, and the two of them won the management positions of the musket battalion and the artillery battalion with their outstanding performance by virtue of Tian Bin's relationship, each leading a battalion and mastering the first battalion of the new army of the Qing army.

Although according to the practice of the Qing army, the chief officer of the firearms battalion was a Manchurian and an official general, all of them became slightly smaller commanders than the generals, and actually commanded two battalions.

This further increased the chances of victory for the Huaxia army.

In addition, Mi Lin and Tian Bin combined and sent the captured Qing army Han army banners and green battalion officers and soldiers back to various new armies after they were converted, and the first town was full of militia and regular soldiers of the Huaxia Army pretending to be Qing soldiers who had fled from the rout, and some were members of the intelligence office action team lurking in Yangzhou Prefecture and even on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Hong Chengchou never imagined that his newly established new army had been infiltrated like a sieve by Zhang Qiang's intelligence officers of the Huaxia Army.

Such a Qing army really can't let Zhang Qiang worry about it more.

Three months, most of the year 1653 had passed, the weather began to cool, and You Haibo and Mi Chun, who had been transferred to Fujian and Jiangxi, returned to Jinhua Mansion to report to Zhang Qiang.

"Qi Dadu Governor, the minister has been in Fujian for almost three months, and today I will report to the Dadu Governor on the minister's work in the past few months."

You Haibo sat at the oval conference table on Zhang Qiang's left hand in the small conference room of the Governor's Office of the Governor's Office, flipped through a stack of materials, and said while looking at the materials like a subordinate manager reporting to the general manager.

This form is simply incompatible with the Ming Dynasty at this time, this is Zhang Qiang's change to the Huaxia Army.

The Huaxia Army was established by Zhang Qiang, most of the people are not ordinary people, or children, Xiucai, or people, although there are university scholars, Ge Lao, the great literati of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but its foundation is still a low-level Ming education personnel, so Zhang Qiang is just a casual graffiti on the canvas of the Huaxia Army, and there will be no big problem for other traversers.

Either the civil officials are pedantic, or the emperor is suspicious, or the military generals are jealous, the nobles are framed, and the silver earned by themselves is pulled to the eunuchs and the emperor, flattered, and then flattered, it is completely the practice of the Han people, for the later generations to be aggrieved for hundreds of years, thousands of years, Confucius What Mencius Laozi culture has been eliminated by the four evils, extermination of humanity and other scientific movements wiped out cleanly, can only accept advanced Western ideas, to survive and make money as the fundamental cultural atmosphere Zhang Qiang, this is simply intolerable.

Unconsciously to transform, to develop the Huaxia Army according to the ideas of a court that should be in his mind.

So you see that the Huaxia Army is a bit nondescript, saying that it is the feudal society of the Ming Dynasty, and that it is the Han era that has been reduced to foreign rule at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, but the Huaxia Army is full of traces of civilization that later generations can find.

It is said that this is the life of the later generations, the backward era of the later generations, but here is wearing all kinds of Ming costumes, walking, sitting and lying, and different from the Ming Dynasty, there is no imperial examination, no poetry, talent, there is a wide road, and the people who have been in a hurry have been only worried about their own lives, although they work hard but are full of happiness.

It is politically harmonious, prosperous and powerful, and there are Chinese soldiers on the streets similar to the military uniforms of the French seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Say that this is a colony occupied by Europeans?

It's not like it, because here the Han people are the masters of the country, and the model of the former German president (emperor) responsibility system in World War II is implemented, the prime minister is in power, and the cabinet is in charge.

Zhang Qiang doesn't know whether this is advanced or backward, but there is a very clear purpose, as a traverser, Zhang Qiang is turning this historical world into a living environment for himself to be familiar with the great celestial empire ruled by our party in later generations.

Or add a little bit of your own understanding and adapt to some changes in the times.

These changes are what You Haibo is talking about and implementing, and they will also turn the place in Fujian, which was once ruled by Longwu Nanming, into the model of the Huaxia Army established by Zhang Qiang now.

"After the minister went, the first thing he encountered was a paralyzed government yamen, the government and the arrest were almost dispersed, either they were arrested as a strong man, or they were killed by the Qing army, and they were crippled and unable to carry out their work, in order to carry out their work, the minister took over the militia troops led by Du Ge, deputy head of the government, and a part of the garrison troops, and first implemented military management."

You Haibo's report gradually became clear in Zhang Qiang's ears, and Zhang Qiang began to listen carefully to what he said about the work he had done in Fujian.

"In addition to not grabbing resources from the regular army that was fighting with He Jin and Ruan Jinbu who were supporting the front line, and not interfering with the work of clearing out the remnants of the Qing army in the Tingzhou Mansion that Lin cultivated, the minister dispatched a part of the soldiers of the garrison to rebuild the yamen, temporarily use the old official yamen office, and use the militia to go to the countryside to find the original yamen, capture Kuai, Li Zheng and other original officials and officials, and first restore local operations in accordance with the original local ruling form of Longwu Nanming."

Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, he can only do this, although the original grassroots rule of the Ming Dynasty is not efficient, but every official must restore the operation of the government first, as for whether it is the administrative system of the Huaxia Army, the mode of operation, do not care first, first stabilize the place, resume production, let the fleeing people return to their homes from various places, before they can start the future work.

You Haibo did a good job, Zhang Qiang still has a good impression of him, and he is very sure that since Zhang Qiang's uprising, You Haibo is the first senior Ming intellectual and talent who can carry out civil administration in Zhang Qiang's hands.

"Did you do this, did the efficiency come out?" Zhang Qiang interjected and asked.

You Haibo raised his head and glanced at Zhang Qiang, the long-term war and displacement made You Haibo just over forty years old, already half of his white hair, and his face looked old, like a fifty-year-old man.

"Yes, Dadu Governor, after a month and a half of combing, the population of the people returning to their hometowns has reached 1.5 million, and the population of each village has almost reached 30 to 50 percent, and some have reached more than 70 percent, the first month was too chaotic, no taxes were collected, and in the second month, 500,000 taels of silver were received from various taxes paid on their own initiative, and there were various means of subsistence, which were piled up in the warehouses of various official offices, and the value was 1.5 million taels."

"So are these taxes enough for Fujian Prefecture?" Zhang Qiang asked.

You Haibo shook his head slightly, "Governor, this is definitely not enough, the officials have to pay silver, the recruited militia has to be trained, and the government's various expenses have been reduced, and there is still a difference of two or three hundred thousand taels, in addition, it is necessary to build various barracks and warehouses, recruit people to build water conservancy, repair houses for the villagers, and resettle the villagers who have returned to their hometowns, even if the materials in the warehouses are sent, it is not enough."

Prime Minister Zhou Congee approved 5 million gold yuan for the lower officials, which is just enough, and it is estimated that the cabinet will have to allocate more than 3 million yuan for various expenses next month.

After getting the next month, all kinds of dispatched officials and militia, garrison troops, and retired soldiers can be initially stabilized at the local level, and then the administrative model of the Huaxia Army can be used to start developing commerce, encouraging agriculture, and Fujian can ease up and make a preliminary profit, without the subsidy of the Governor's Palace. ”

"You did a good job, Fujian has been tossed by the Qing army and the Ming army, as well as various officials and gentry of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and it is estimated that Jiangxi is even more miserable, alas, this abominable war."

Zhang Qiang touched his face and said with deep emotion.

You Haibo said: "Governor, the sale of the enemy's weapons and equipment captured by our army in the battle in Fujian, as well as the enemy's materials, the use of prisoners, and it is said that there are millions of taels worth of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques that Longwu Nanming will have time to take away in the future, if these can be handed over to the state government for disposal, I believe that Fujian will not need blood transfusion from the center of the governor's palace." ”

"Hehe, what do I say, your eyes are on this, but I want to tell you, the war is a battle under the dispatch of the center, although the local government also has to contribute, but can no longer make trouble with the center above, everything captured will be returned to the public, the center will be rewarded and distributed according to the priorities of all aspects, this is an impossible to change the fact, it is also discipline, the first emphasis of the Huaxia Army is discipline, you have to understand this, you can't be like the Ming Dynasty, the local people do not obey the dispatch of the center, do their own thing, understand?"

Zhang Qiang said with a smile, although he smiled, his tone was not soft at all, and the more he spoke, the more serious he became, this was to sound the alarm to the feudal officials who went to the local area but wanted to loot the center, so that they could understand the majesty and ruling power of the center.

"Yes, Metropolitan Governor, the minister is abrupt." You Haibo habitually wanted to stand up and bow down to Zhang Qiang to plead guilty.

As soon as he stood up and knelt down, he remembered that he was no longer the Ming Dynasty's lifter, not the Ming Dynasty's heroic, but the Minister of Education and Administration of the Huaxia Army's Cabinet and the governor of a province in Fujian Prefecture.

You Haibo smiled awkwardly at Zhang Qiang, wiped his forehead with his horseshoe sleeve, and thought about where he was a little hot and humid.

No way, this is the common problem of officials who have been cultivated for thousands of years, although Zhang Qiangbu does not mind if you bow down or bow, bow your hand, or the military general will put his right hand on his chest and salute like a knight in Europe.

"How is Lin Yangsheng doing in Tingzhou Mansion?" Zhang Qiang diverted the topic and asked.

You Haibo sat back on the Huanghuali chair, raised his head, and returned without being arrogant or humble: "Dadu Governor, this Lin Chengcheng is really the best person to manage the captives, whether you are the Manchu clan relatives who are supreme and arrogant with their chins on their foreheads, or those fake Manchus with a sense of superiority in the Han military banner, or those green battalion generals who are sad and desperate and have no color in their eyes, they are all obedient to his training.

The roads in Fujian Prefecture have been repaired in all directions within three months, and they have reached the road standards of several prefectures in the core area of the Huaxia Army.

In the case of casualties, the road has been hardened, and the messenger who delivered the message could deliver the message to the various ends of the main road connection within three days, and then collect the news to the Tingzhou Mansion, and within five days to convey it to the Jinhua Mansion, which was only possible when the Ming Dynasty opened the country. ”
