Li Zicheng planned to add three to four "li" to Zunyi County to settle prisoners of war who were active in labor, but he ran all over Zunyi County and found that it would not work.

The original thirteen "miles" of Zunyi County have basically opened up the path, and between Zunyi County, there are paths for passage, if you want to increase the number of "miles", you must reopen the path, otherwise, the people are living in the deep mountains with inconvenient transportation.

He gave up the plan to increase the number of "li", and instead opened up new land as much as possible within each "li", and then combined the original people with troops and relocated, and completely vacated the three "li" in the south of the county, Dongyu, Yong'an, and Daxi, as a place to settle prisoners of war.

The concentration of Han prisoners of war was conducive to maintaining the characteristics and habits of the Han people, and gradually influencing the newly naturalized Han people in the surrounding area.

In this plan, the only difficulty is the relocation of the people, but if the people can be allocated more land, maybe they are willing to move to the vicinity of the road, if a small number of nail households refuse to move, it doesn't matter, they are sandwiched among the Han people, and they will soon be sinicized.

In order to completely sinicize the people of Zunyi County, Li Zicheng plans to build an official road to each "li" with Zunyi County as the center, as long as the road can reach the corresponding width, the cement avenue will be poured in the future, and the first to realize the "Lili Tong" in Zunyi County.

In the thirteen "li" of Zunyi, Yong'an in the north, Zhongzhuang and Tianwang in the south were originally on the official road, as long as the official road is extended to Tianwang "li", the center of these three "li" will be passable to the road, and the remaining ten "li" must be expanded along the original road.

Fortunately, between Zunyi Prefecture and Zunyi County, it was less than 30 miles, and 3,000 prisoners of war had completed the expansion of the road for the sake of the land, and began to turn into the "li" road.

Ma Xianglin sent a message that Renhuai County had been completely taken, and asked Li Zicheng about his next military action.

Li Zicheng immediately summoned the message: The army is temporarily stationed in Renhuai, try to strangle anyone who opposes the Mandate of Heaven, and soon after, he will send a new Zhixian to Renhuai County, and before the arrival of the new Zhixian, he will use the strength of the army to completely defeat Tusi and carry out the preliminary propaganda work of "becoming a Han nationality and serving God" among the people.

Renhuai County has ten "li" of land, second only to Zunyi Prefecture and Zunyi County in terms of land and population, and is the focus of Li Zicheng's next naturalization.

Li Zicheng left Zunyi County and returned to Zunyi Prefecture, except that Zhen'an Prefecture was too far away from Zunyi Mansion and put it aside for the time being, and he wanted to recruit magistrates for Zunyi, Suiyang, Tongzi, and Renhuai counties in Fucheng.

After consultation with Kong Lanchuan, the recruitment of magistrates took the form of "imperial examination", as long as they were sincerely naturalized as Han Chinese, anyone could participate in the assessment, and the content of the examination was divided into two parts: the law of the Mandate of Heaven; Catholic doctrine.

The registration period is three days from the date of posting the notice, and the preparation time before the examination is five days.

Due to the form of written examinations, the applicants must be familiar with Chinese characters, such a rule, so that many people who have the intention to refer to it, suddenly discouraged, however, in the notice of the government office, clearly told the people that they will recruit officials in the future, and the conditions remain unchanged.

At the end of the three-day registration time given, as Li Zicheng expected, there were only nine people who came to sign up, basically all of whom were descendants of the original Tusi, ordinary people, although they could speak a few words of Chinese, but they didn't know Chinese characters at all.

Kong Lanchuan gathered these nine people together and trained them intensively by the officials of the government, in addition to strengthening the study of Chinese characters, he also interpreted the four laws of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, which has become the doctrine of Catholicism.

There are only five days, and it is impossible to learn Chinese characters well, but it is not difficult to learn the laws of the Mandate of Heaven and the doctrines and prayers of the Catholic Church.

Li Zicheng was originally going to personally grasp the assessment, but the missionaries sent by Chengdu and the road construction technicians sent by Tang Ruowang arrived respectively, and Li Zicheng asked them to inspect the road section between Zunyi Mansion and Zunyi County, and at the same time accumulate the necessary road construction materials, and then took some technicians to choose a site to build a cement plant.

Finally, a suitable material for firing cement was found in the Dolomites in the northwest of Zunyi Prefecture, and Li Zicheng dispatched two prisoners of war from 100 households to assist technicians in the production of cement.

The results of Kong Lanchuan's assessment have come out, the nine people who are referenced, the level is not much different, and the comprehensive personal attitude, Tian Yongmao, Wu Sixi, Tan Lu, and Luo Wenyao were finally selected as the magistrates of Zunyi, Suiyang, Tongzi, and Renhuai counties, as for the five people who were unsuccessful, as long as they strengthen their studies on weekdays, they may be reused when the county is split in the future, or when Zhen'an Prefecture is built.

Tian Yongmao, Wu Sixi, Tan Lu, and Luo Wenyao went to various counties, and under the protection of the Mandate of Heaven, they began to carry out the work of "naturalizing Han nationality and serving God" in each county.

The core of the whole process, in addition to dividing more land for the people, is linked to "joining the Han nationality and serving God", only the people who "enter the Han nationality and serve God" can get the corresponding land, and those who first support the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion will get all good land, closer to Shuikou, and the last rest are all trapezoidal fields halfway up the mountainside, if the land is not enough, they have to reclaim it themselves.

In each county, one or two "miles" were set aside for prisoners of war who had completed their term of service.

Li Zicheng returned to Zunyi County, supervised the road construction on the one hand, and personally assisted Tian Yongmao on the other hand, so as to complete the land reform as soon as possible and not to miss the winter ploughing.

In accordance with Li Zicheng's instructions, Tian Yongmao basically moved out all the people in the three "li" of Dongyu, Yong'an, and Daxi in the north, and as long as they were "naturalized as Han and served God," they would redistribute their land in the neighboring areas of Shaxi, Beiyu, Le'an, and Tongping.

When the prisoners of war saw that Li Zicheng kept his promise and completely left the land in the three "li" of Dongyu, Yong'an, and Daxi, they were more motivated, and they obtained Li Zicheng's consent to expand the official roads in Dongyu and Daxi, and moved their families in.

However, among the prisoners of war who moved in, there were still some prisoners of war who did not have families, which gave Li Zicheng a headache, if they could not reproduce the population, even if these prisoners of war had land, it would be difficult for them to settle down with peace of mind, so he entrusted the county magistrate Tian Yongmao, if possible, to match these widowers and prisoners of war, so that they could start a family after their service expired.

Since Zunyi Mansion belongs to the south, there is basically no severe winter, when the cement is produced, the cement avenue is immediately started to be built between Zunyi Mansion and Tianwang "Li" in Zunyi County.

The prisoners of war were also divided into two parts, of which two thousand households, under the guidance of technical personnel, built cement avenues from Zunyi Mansion and Tianwangli at both ends, and the other thousand households continued to widen the official roads from Zunyi County to each "li".

When Li Zicheng was busy in Zunyi, Yang Sichang was drooping in his head, and with two Tang newspapers, he went to the Qianqing Palace to see Zhu Youzhen.

In front of the palace gate, he thought for a long time, and finally transferred the Tang Bao from above to the bottom, and then asked the little eunuch to pass it on.

Zhu Youzhen had been looking forward to the military situation ahead, and when he heard that Yang Sichang asked to see him, he asked the little eunuch to summon him quickly.

Yang Sichang's face was grim, and he followed the little eunuch into the Xinuan Pavilion, and hurriedly glanced at Zhu Youzhen, and immediately bowed to the ground, his eyes were closed, and his forehead knocked on the ground, "The minister knocks to see the emperor!" ”

"Aiqing is flat!" Zhu Youzhen stopped the pen and gave Yang Sichang a seat, "Yang Aiqing, how is the battle ahead?" ”

Yang Sichang is low and difficult to treat, and he is hesitant, "the emperor ......"

Zhu Youzhen's heart sank, a bad premonition suddenly enveloped his whole body, he barely stabilized his figure, looked directly into Yang Sichang's eyes, and said coldly: "Say, how is the victory or defeat on the front line?" ”

Yang Sichang took out a Tang newspaper from his sleeve, glanced at it, and saw that he had not taken it wrong, so he offered it with both hands, "Your Majesty, Tartar Ke Gaoyang, Lord Pavilion Old Sun...... Lord Sun organized his family and people in the city to resist with all their might, but he was outnumbered......"

"How is Lord Sun?" Zhu Youzhen "chuckled" in his heart, he didn't go to pick up the Tang newspaper, just stared at Yang Sichang coldly.

Sun Chengzong is not only his own teacher, but also the teacher of the eldest brother Zhu Youxiao, he has always been loyal, and he is a model of the Ming Dynasty civil and military officials......

"Master Sun...... Lord Sun was captured, heroic and unyielding, and was killed by the Tartars...... "Yang Sichang didn't dare to raise his head, he knew that the next thing was the wrath of thunder, and he had to carry it alone.

"Kill?" Zhu Youzhen took the Tang newspaper at this time, and when he looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but feel dizzy, "Lord Sun's six sons, two nephews, twelve grandsons and nephews were martyred, and more than 40 people in the whole family were killed......

"The emperor's ......" Zhang Yixian saw that Zhu Youzhen was shaking, so he hurriedly grabbed it and held his waist.

Zhu Youzhen pushed Zhang Yixian away, with a finger, the Tang newspaper swirled and fell to the ground, he looked at Yang Sichang with distracted eyes, "How do you ask me to explain to the first emperor......

"Your Majesty ......" Yang Sichang didn't dare to come out, but desperately lowered his head to his chest.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt that something was wrong, "The Tartars have hit Gaoyang, what about Lu Xiangsheng?" Where is Lu Xiangsheng? ”

Yang Sichang hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, Lu Xiangsheng kept advising, went to war without authorization, and was defeated in Baoding......"

"Fighting without permission? Defeated? Baoding? Zhu Youzhen muttered, "Yang Aiqing, what do you mean by going to war without authorization?" If he doesn't fight, will the Tartars themselves leave the Jingshi? Governor Lu Xiangsheng sent reinforcements from all over the country, shouldn't he go to war? ”

"Your Majesty," Yang Sichang said, "Lu Xiangsheng has the right to fight, but when the troops are not fully prepared, he attacked the Tartars in Baoding City without authorization, resulting in a great defeat, and more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded......"

"This Lu Xiangsheng ......" Zhu Youzhen punched on the imperial case, "Yi Xian, pass the decree, remove Lu Xiangsheng from the title of secretary of the military department, and make meritorious service for the crime, if you can't expel the Tartars, I will punish the crime together......"

"Slave obeys!"

Yang Sichang saw that Zhu Youzhen's anger had subsided slightly, so he took out the second piece of information and offered it with both hands again, "Your Majesty, Luo Rucai accepted the appeasement and was placed in Yun County by Xiong Wencan, and Huguang Liukou basically calmed down......"

Zhu Youzhen took the Tang newspaper, glanced at it, and sighed, but was silent.

Lu Xiangsheng received Zhu Youzhen's reprimand, and immediately defended himself: although he was the governor of the world, the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang of Guanning and Xuanda were not at all dispatched by himself......

It's prevarication again! Zhu Youzhen frowned, and thought for a long time, although Lu Xiangsheng was good at fighting, but his qualifications were too shallow, he decided to let the first assistant Liu Yuliang go to the front line to supervise the army, solve the contradictions between the army of King Qin in various places, and at the same time send an order to Lu Xiangsheng to let him enter the army Julu and expel the Tartars south of the Beijing Division as soon as possible.
