Chapter 491: Dingbei City, Lelang Mansion

All the children in the captives, who were able to walk, were taken to the castle to do some simple labor, and in their free time they were also educated and brainwashed by the guards who were responsible for teaching, and no other languages were allowed to be spoken in the castle, only Chinese.

The old and weak outside the city were partly transferred to the Mongols who had come to the north with the expeditionary expeditions, to graze the cattle brought and captured, and the young and strong families were scattered from the original tribes, and the Russians and Cossacks lived in a staggered manner, cultivating the surrounding land, and now whether the Mongols or the Russians had enough food, as long as it was next summer, everything would be stable.

Whether they were farmers or herders, they no longer had the status of free men, and they were now either serfs or herdsmen, and they were all assigned to the guards and regimental trainers here, and the Mongols who accompanied the army were all granted the status of free men.

All under the patronage of the expeditionary pioneers, they could graze and cultivate the vast land allocated to them, and had the right to buy serfs cheaply. Liu Shisan's northern expedition gained power for himself and wealth for his subordinates, which was a happy situation for all.

Now, the most powerful guards and hundreds of regular soldiers, living in the renovated castle, with the children of the captives as hostages, the strong walls and fortifications for defense, and their firearms and horses, have completely controlled the area around the fort of Dimitri.

Fort Dimitri has already changed its name at this time, Dingbei City, and this name is already a problem that explains everything.

In the following time, the guards of the city did not sit idle, and a small detachment of four hundred people, with a detachment of slave servants, began to loot the surrounding Cossack villages, gathering the population, livestock and agricultural implements around the castle.

After obtaining the support point of Dingbei City, it is time for these outlaws who are thousands of miles away to make a fortune, willing to follow Liu Shisan on an expedition of thousands of miles, taking great risks along the way, they are all outlaws, they are just going alone to win greater wealth, although the outside of the gate is just settled, but the rich space there is too narrow, since they are not the people of the Ming Dynasty, they will naturally not settle down to farm and eat food there, and they have to rely on the knives and guns in their hands to earn more money, this time it should be regarded as done.

The sacking of the Cossack villages and the plundering of people and property was a very happy thing, and Liu 13 was still planning to attack and loot the remnants of the Obir Khanate, and Liu 13 wanted to turn Huazhou into the true master of this vast land.

Of course, a messenger composed of more than a dozen knights set out on the road south with the precious jewels captured by the Obir Khanate and Liu Shisan's letterhead......

At this time, Seoul, on the edge of the original royal palace, many of the official residences living there, were demolished, and a new building was built under the busy work of many craftsmen and laborers, although the construction began in July, but for Hwashua, which was not short of financial resources and manpower, the building was quickly completed.

On the other side of the palace, the Huazhou Taishou Mansion is also under construction, Huazhou is a military and civilian system, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is completely above the Taishou Mansion, so Liu Shunhua's Taishou Mansion is also smaller than the pattern of the Governor's Mansion.

However, these two big mansions are much larger than the Joseon Palace, and of course, the layout of the palace is also very large, and it is not a good thing for a child to live in such a big place, and it is easier to develop extravagant habits as the king's grandfather and guardian.

After the completion of the Governor's Mansion and the Taishou Mansion, anyone who came to the Governor's Mansion and the Taishou Mansion to do business, if they were not too careful, they would not notice the palace that was sandwiched in the middle and looked a little obscene.

For Jiang Feng's entry into Seoul, the Han people in the city are naturally unconditionally welcomed, and what is a little unexpected is that the North Korean government and the people are also very happy, according to common sense, it is normal for these people to have no opposition, because the blade is mighty, and it is difficult not to bow their heads, but these people are so happy and excited, such a positive performance, it is really surprising.

However, whether it was Luo Yi's pro-military camp or Sima Cheng under Liu Twelve's supervisor, they were too lazy to pay attention to it, so they had to go.

The North Koreans in Seoul thought very simply, if Jiang Feng and Liu Shunhua lived in the city, even if it was to maintain the dignity and law and order in the city, they would not kill people at will, so at least they would have some sense of security, of course, this may just be a feeling of security.

A month ago, the purge and arrest in Seoul, the Jingguan that was still placed in a conspicuous place, and the bloody atmosphere that permeated the entire city for several days had already frightened these people out of their minds, for fear that there would be any more killings, for this nation, which has always been weak, it doesn't matter what kind of righteousness or anything like that is, to live, or to live a little better, this is their purpose.

The 5,000 men led by Yang Da arrived in Pyongyang, this process was like a normal migration of the army, there was no fluctuation at all, Jiang Feng's soldiers and horses used to be bounded by Seoul ten miles to the north, relying on the mountainous and hilly terrain, built a large number of stone forts and fortresses.

At that time, the consideration was that although it was easy to occupy the southern part of Korea, it was still necessary to beware that the Ming army would fight from the north, so it did not dare to advance too north, so as not to have any unforeseen circumstances.

Naturally, there was no need for so many precautions and precautions, but under the expectations of the Governor's Office, because the land rule centered on Pyongyang in the north was maintained by the small Korean court, would it cause any reaction if 5,000 soldiers and horses were suddenly sent there.

You must know that before Jiang Feng came to North Korea, there were only about 8,000 soldiers in North Korea.

Facts have proved that the high-level people in Huazhou are thinking too much, they have lived in the Ming Dynasty, the people of the great power of the Celestial Empire for a long time, it is difficult to imagine the suppleness and submission of other weak nations in the face of strong force.

Pyongyang was changed to Lelang City in late July of the 19th year of Jiajing, ten miles north of Seoul in the south, and Yalu River and Changbai Mountain in the north, and this section of land was used as the seat of Lelang Province.

Lelangfu belongs to Huazhou, and the prefect of Lelangfu has a special significance for the immigrants from Huazhou, Guanwai and Yizhou, which is equivalent to whether the scholars here can enter the center and occupy a place in the bureaucratic system of Huazhou.

Lelang prefect is a scholar from the chaos in Shandong that year, when he immigrated to Huazhou, this person is a famous Xiucai, surnamed Li, called Li Jin, and there are some talents in his chest, but because his family is poor and no one helps him, he can only rely on the professor's private school to make a living, and he can't even make up the cost of the exam.

After being coerced into Huazhou, because they became carefree, many people were watching from the sidelines, and some of them were always singing about loyalty and righteousness. The Huazhou military also didn't bother to pay attention to such scholars, so they went.

Li Jin didn't think too much, when he was in Daming, he also took the fame test, but his life was extremely hard, and he often couldn't open the pot, his parents and wives were all affected, and he didn't have a good impression of Daming at all. Nor is there so much loyalty and attachment.

Seeing the recruitment of officials in Huazhou Taishou Mansion, he immediately went over to sign up, although Huazhou was too lazy to pay attention to the scholars, but there were literati to apply, and he was also a famous scholar, which is really rare, no matter whether he can work or not, this is an example after all.

In addition to studying, Li Jin often has to worry about his own life, less sour and rotten, but he has a lot of contact with things that have been used in the world, and people are also real, in order for his family to live a better life, he is even more diligent and hardworking in the yamen.

Huazhou Taishou Liu Shunhua lacked manpower in the early stage, especially the lack of literate readers, since there is a civil affairs shelf such as the Taishou Mansion set up, officials at all levels must be equipped to be able to operate well, but most of the scholars who come to North Korea are waiting and watching or watching coldly, Zhao Yangfan, Zhao Xiucai and Wang Qinian's original team are all from some shopkeepers and accounts, and some things will not be familiar for a while.

Li Jin, a character who is really talented and willing to work hard, is naturally valued a lot by Liu Shunhua, and even Jiang Feng knows his name and has a good impression.

So at the beginning, the promotion was also very fast, from a small official in charge of the law to a civil official of the civil guard, not a respected gentry or a patriarch among the immigrants, he was the only one.

When Minwei was divided into ten towns and placed under the jurisdiction of Huazhou, he was also transferred to his side by Liu Shunhua and began to participate in the core affairs of Huazhou's civil affairs.

This time, the northern part of North Korea was changed to Lelang Mansion, Li Jin immediately became the first person Liu Shunhua could think of recommending, Jiang Feng also spoke highly of this person, and immediately approved the appointment, that is, in seven years, Li Jin went from a scholar to a party that manages millions of people.

The civil affairs system under Jiang Feng has gradually become complete......
