Liu Xingzuo nodded to Li Yu, he followed the old Khan Nurhachi when he was a teenager, experienced the whole process of the rise of the Jin State, knew the hardships and sufferings, in his eyes, today's Fengzhou people are the same as Zhushen back then, climbing ice and snow, hungry and cold, and full of hope for the future, but the two sides have taken different paths, and the road of Fengzhou is exactly what he expected.

"I'm from the Jin country, I tell you how Zhushen rose, Jianzhou Zhushen was more bitter than you at first, the population was only twenty or thirty thousand, the male was only a thousand, and there was not much food in the field, and he could only survive by gathering, hunting and serving as a soldier for the Ming State. It also includes Han people like me who are unwilling to endure the **** of the Ming State, at that time Zhushen and the Han people and even Aha were like a family, the old Khan took us to farm and spin cloth, beat iron and boil salt, we twisted into a force to unify the various tribes of Zhushen, and finally drove away the Ming dog officials to occupy Liaodong, and the Jin State finally became a powerful country," Liu Xingzuo spoke, the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and finally stood up and pointed at the officials and yelled, "What Zhushen can do, why can't you do it?" We are short of food, but we have planted yam eggs and maize all over the mountains, which can be used to satisfy hunger, and we also have many skilled craftsmen who can open workshops to make utensils, and the border walls of the Ming Kingdom cannot stop our goods from trading, we have no money, but we have salt lakes, coal and iron, aren't these money? Now that the north of the Ming Kingdom is in turmoil, there are opportunities for us, and our conditions are much better than when the Jin Kingdom started. After the Jin State entered Liaodong, it embarked on the same **** old road as the Ming State, they took the country as their home, enslaved and slaughtered foreign people, their road will become narrower and narrower, and we have the banner of freedom and equality to order the world, the people who are unwilling to be enslaved will definitely support us, and more and more people will defect to us in the future, can we refuse them? I tell you, don't think about the division of Huayi, and don't want to stop the reform, we are too weak and poor, so we have no way out, gritted our teeth and passed this pass, Fengzhou will have a lot to do, we have left Chahar behind, and we will definitely be able to leave Jinguo behind in another ten years. ”

"Well said! We can only move forward, Fengzhou has never had a way back since its inception," Li Yu stood up excitedly, waved his fist and said loudly, "Fengzhou was originally founded by desperate Mongols, Han Chinese and Zhushen, there is no reason to refuse the Guannei people who are more bitter than us, accept them into our homeland, and work with us to guard Fengzhou, from now on we are all Fengzhou people, go to ****** the "Da Ming Law", all Fengzhou people only abide by our own rules, there is no Huayi here, There is no money to be afraid of, and we have not been poor, so it's a big deal to go hungry and suffer together, so I don't believe that there is no future. ”

Li Yu and Liu Xingzuo's words broke the dull atmosphere in the hall, everyone's spirits were lifted, and Zhang Mengcun and other homeless leaders also had a sense of tragedy, everyone stood up together, shouting "Willing to serve Fengzhou". Na Mu'er shouted that he brought potatoes and maize from Jingshi, if the trial in Fengzhou was successful, it would definitely be able to greatly increase the yield, Yang Dazhi patted his chest and said that he risked his life to cultivate the best crop seeds, and the god secretly said that he had a treasure - Na Mu'er brought back a "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", which was a book written by Xu Guangqi, the most learned scholar in the Ming Kingdom, and he knew how to do crop work in the future.

"Actually, we still have a way, but it depends on whether the Grand Commander is willing or not!" Li Fugui, who has not spoken, spoke, he has been pondering the idea of beating the people - Fengzhou does not have much silver in stock, but the people still have a lot of money hidden in their hands, and salt lakes, coal and iron need money to develop, if you can get the people's money in your hands, and accept military tickets for trading, then he can stimulate the development of Fengzhou by issuing additional military tickets, but Fengzhou military tickets are guaranteed by Li Yu's reputation, and there is Li Yu's avatar on it, military tickets are equivalent to Li Yu's face, and the indiscriminate issuance of military tickets is to hit Li Yu's face, Ulan has been staring at him very tightly, Li Fugui didn't dare to come up with such a bad idea.

"Yuzi, if you announce that in the future, grain, cloth, salt and iron will all be traded with military tickets, then I can issue more military tickets," Li Fugui saw that Li Yu was still pondering, and added a few more words, "This is not an indiscriminate issuance of military tickets, salt and iron are also capital, we have money, the displaced people in the customs come in, give each family some military tickets, they use military tickets to buy rations, farm tools, each thousand households see money to earn, grow grain and sell grain, open workshops are also energetic, our business in Fengzhou is more and more prosperous, and the more taxes are collected, The rest of the day will be better. ”

"You are in charge of money and food, you can do it, I have already taken on a lot of debts, I don't care about carrying more," Li Yu stared at Li Fugui for a while before sighing and replied, but then he became angry, pointing at Zhao Ji and shouting, "Mingguo threw me a big burden, if you don't give me money and food, you will drive me away, there is no such cheap thing in the world, you will go to Baode tomorrow and force them to pay for food." ”

"That's right, this matter is on me, the Ming court can't do it without bleeding." Zhao Jile agreed.

"I'm shocked when I hear it, this matter still has to be explained clearly to the people," Ortai wiped the sweat on his head and waved Wang Fang over, "Aren't you able to speak well, from tomorrow onwards, you will bring some people to each thousand and hundreds of households, and tell the people that the Great Commander's Office serves the people wholeheartedly, and everything we do is for their sake." ”

"Don't worry, I'm the best at deceiving people, no, I'm the best at reasoning." Wang Fang was excited and told the truth.

Li Huai is relaxed now, pointing to Zhang Mengcun, Zhao Sheng, Bai Yuzhu and Zhang Miaoshou and said: "You all hear clearly, we have everything to say in front of you, if you are willing to come, we will live together through thick and thin, if you don't want to come, it's okay, we will never force it." ”

"Willing to play for Toyosu! Swear allegiance to the Grand Commander! Zhang Mengcun immediately shouted the slogan, he had been here for a few months, the land had been stepped on, and he had a like-minded good friend Wang Fang, both of them felt that constantly digging the corners of the Ming Kingdom was no worse than the effect of rebellion, and it was easier to save their lives.

"You have to know how to behave, Fengzhou treats us as its own, and the villagers are willing to stay." Zhang Miaoshou still looked expressionless.

"We are desperate, Fengzhou accepts us is a great gift, we can only continue to rebel if we stay in the pass, the gang who don't want the family can fight, we can't drag the family with the mouth, we can have a nest to live and be content." Zhao Sheng and Bai Yuzhu replied after whispering a few words.

Li Huai nodded, turned his face to Li Yu and said: "In this case, we must be prepared, the officials of the four guards must be in place as soon as possible, the official system and the military system must be discussed auspiciously, and the livestock, grain and farm tools required must also be planned in advance, and the immigration will start as soon as the autumn harvest is over." ”

Everyone sat down again and deliberated carefully, and elected Batu as the commander of the Eastern Shengwei, Liu Xingzuo as the commander of the Xinghewei, Buyantu as the commander of the Fengzhou Wei, and Urden Xuandewei as the commander, and at the same time transferred the East Outpost to the Zanhua Military Affairs Office of the Great Commander's Office, Li Yu also proposed that Wang Ziyong be the commander of the Great Commander's Office, Zhang Mengcun and Zhao Sheng should participate in politics, Hui Dengxiang and Zhang Miaoshou should be the senators, and Bai Yuzhu would be the assistant to judge the punishment and prison lawsuits. The 100 households still select officials in the form of public elections, and those with significant talents can be directly recommended to the Grand Commander's Office for recruitment.

When the military system, the official system and the money and food needed for immigration were finally discussed, it was already late at night, Ortai waved his hand to announce the dissolution of the meeting, Li Huai and Na Mu'er took the pen and went down, the two of them had to stay up all night to draft a document and report it to Datong's Tuntian Dao Jinsheng, what should be done must be done, but the face of the court still has to be given, and the others dispersed one after another with a tired face.

Yun Rong walked a few steps and came back, and asked Li Yu in a low voice: "Great Commander, what should I do over there in Chahar?" Hatun stayed in the old capital and refused to come back, so I had to ask you to pick her up, and now we are very unhappy with Chahar because of the immigration, and this matter is a bit tricky. ”

"I'll go to the old capital, I have to talk to the Great Khan about immigrating to Fengzhou, Chahar is too important to us, we must not cause a rift because of this, by the way, take Wu Langha back, Li Meng can't take it back, I, the father, also want to see him." Li Yu lowered his head and replied.

"Yuzi, Chahar Khan is ruthless, don't go, he will detain you too, and we will be finished." Ortai immediately dissuaded.

"Don't be afraid, he doesn't have the guts, he can still survive in Fengzhou, if something happens to me, he will be finished immediately, I will take the Flying Tiger Camp, and nothing will happen." Li Yu shook his head and replied.

Liu Xingzuo thought for a while and said: "I will go to Xinghewei in advance, Terig and Haishan are also in Weining Haizi, the two battalions of elite cavalry plus the Flying Tiger Battalion, and the two thousand households in the west post can also mobilize a thousand cavalry, and two thousand five hundred people are enough to scare the rabble in Chahar." ”

Li Fugui patted Yun Rong on the shoulder, smiled and said: "Let Yun Rong go with you, the Chahar people rely on us to eat, I forgive Chahar Khan for not daring to act rashly, Mrs. Wulangha is really amazing, I really convince her now." ”

Li Yu's face was red, and he didn't talk anymore, Ulan talked about Wu Langha on the way back to Manhan Mountain, Wu Langha has become a famous figure in Chahar, she is guarding her son in the old capital, and she is doing a lot of business with the Chahar people, and here there is Ma Guangyuan's wife Ma Sister-in-law cooperating, and there is a Fang Zhikun in the middle to help with the goods, Chahar Khan finally asked for money from the Ming Kingdom, and it fell into her pocket in a blink of an eye, Wu Langha is now a rich man, and thanks to her, Ulan was able to feed and clothe dozens of orphans from Guannai.

Two days later, Li Yu and Liu Xingzuo went on the road together, the two have not seen each other for a long time since Zunhua broke up, many things have happened in this year, Liu Xingzuo has been suffering in pain, Li Yu wants to comfort his big brother, but he doesn't know how to speak, Liu Xingzuo is also only concerned about the fast horse hurrying, always silent without saying a word, the two have nothing to say all the way, when camping at night, Liu Xingzuo alone held the book and read silently by the bonfire, Li Yu quietly came to him and sat down, glanced at the book - "The True Meaning of God", it should be a book of Western religion.

"How's the family?" Li Yu lowered his head and asked softly.

"What else, Huang Taiji hates me to the bone, Xingzhi used to be in Phi Dao, he still had some scruples, now Xingzhi is gone, my mother, wife and children, Xingxian and brothers' families ......" Liu Xingzuo's eyes were red, looking at the night sky and whispering, "Disloyalty, unfilial piety, unkindness, injustice, it is me who should go to hell, Lord, bless my family to heaven!" ”

Dongjiang Town of the Ming Kingdom had an accident again, lost Mao Wenlong, Phi Dao never quieted down, first Liu Xingzuo and Chen Jisheng Dou, transferred Liu Xingzuo and killed Chen Jisheng, the new commander-in-chief Huang Long and Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other old generals of the Dongjiang River fought, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming fought but the Huanglong supported by Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, and the negative anger took his subordinates to Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua. Huanglong squeezed these two away, Liu Xingzhi, who had been honest for a while, jumped out and continued to fight with him, Huanglong was exhausted and went to Lushun, the situation on Phi Island was further out of control, Liu Xingzhi had the ambition to dominate Phi Dao - he was also cornered, Sun Chengzong did not forget that he instigated a mutiny to seize Mao Yuanyi and kill Chen Jisheng, always staring at him and suppressing him, Liu Xingzhi did not dare to leave Phi Dao for half a step, and went to Fengzhou to defect to his brother Liu Xingzuo can only think about it, and Tiancong Khan of Jin Guo detains his Liu family. Liu Xingxian, who forced Yongping to be captured, kept writing letters to persuade him to surrender. Liu Xingzhi has hostages in the hands of the other party, and has to deal with it, the two sides stop fighting, letters are constantly exchanged, Liu Xingzhi does not want to reduce the money, and does not believe that the Ming Congress will let him go, and he started the idea of stepping on two boats to divide Phi Island, and the old Mao Wenlong troops who stayed on Phi Island have become the target he must eradicate, and the old generals of Mao Wenlong, who have already felt that danger is coming, will not be restrained, this time they will strike first. At the beginning of April this year, Zhang Tao and Shen Shikui, deputy commanders-in-chief, led troops to attack the Dongjiang Xixie at night, and Liu Xingzuo's brothers Liu Xingzhi, Liu Xingpei, Liu Xingbang, Liu Xingji, and Liu Xingliang, who remained on Phi Island, were all killed, and the Yi soldiers recruited by the Xixixi Association were also wiped out. Liu Xingzhi was destroyed, Liu Xingxian and the Liu family who were imprisoned in Shenyang lost their use value, their fate can be imagined, plus Liu Xingren who died in the Fuzhou Change, Liu Xingzuo's family was full of eight brothers, and only he survived.

"Big brother ......" Li Yu held Liu Xingzuo's hand, the Tang newspaper of the imperial court had Denglai Town's report on this matter, and Li Yu knew how hard this news hit Liu Xingzuo.

"Don't say anything, my tears have flowed, I don't want to be sad anymore, in this book given to me by Lord Sun Yuanhua, it is said that people are born sinful, so they must spend their lives to accumulate good atonement for their sins, I have done many wrong things, this is the Lord's punishment for me, I must endure." Liu Xingzuo patted Li Yu's hand and said with a reluctant smile.

The two were silent for a while, and Liu Xingzuo changed the topic and said: "Yuzi, our time is running out, the ambition of the Jin State to conquer the grassland will never waver, unless we surrender, otherwise we and the Jin State will have a decisive battle, have you figured out how to deal with it?" ”

"I've thought about it, our strength is too weak, we can't resist the Jin State at all, I don't dare to count on the Ming Kingdom, so I just grabbed Chahar and didn't let go, now it depends on how long Sun Chengzong can contain the Jin Army in Daling River, if it can give me two years, it's a pity that Amin Belle can't help us!" Li Yu lowered his head and replied in a low voice, he did not forget the agreement with Amin - Amin wants to be self-reliant, if he can pull the blue flag to the Xilamulun River, there will be more protection for Fengzhou, Li Yu and Liu Xingzuo broke up in Zunhua, especially instructed to pay close attention to the dynamics of the Xilamulun River, and the letter to the Commander's Office also mentioned this matter, as long as the blue flag appears in the Xilamulun River, Fengzhou must provide full assistance. But at the beginning of this year, the Mongols who fled to Chahar came with the news that after Amin Belle returned to Shenyang from Yongping, Tiancong Khan handed him over to Beile for the crime of losing his land and killing and demoting officials, and Amin was finally deprived of his title and official position and confined to his home, and the owner of the blue flag was replaced by Zilharang, and the alliance between Li Yu and Amin also came to naught.

"Amin is too careless, he shouldn't go back to Shenyang at all, Huang Taiji and Daishan and Mang Gurtai are brothers after all, and they will still stand together at critical moments, Amin is throwing himself into the net," Liu Xingzuo added a handful of firewood to the bonfire, paused for a while and continued, "I'm afraid we still have to rely on ourselves, Chahar Khan is too timid, he is used to running away, the Chahar people are unreliable, I haven't heard any movement on the side of the Daling River, it would be good if it could be delayed until next year!" Sun Chengzong has not learned to fight until now, and has given up the initiative, thinking that he can block the Jin army by building a few castles and setting up more guns, hiding in the nest, dreaming, if he doesn't fight, the Ming army will be defeated. ”

"Sibeile has always been resolute, and will never tolerate the Ming army building a fort in the Daling River, maybe he has already done it, Liaodong is too far away from us, and it is too late for the news to reach us."

"The Eight Banners of the Jin State are tightly organized, it is difficult for outsiders to penetrate, I originally wanted to build a Titang in Liaodong, but I can't do it now, when Fan Yongdou went to the Jin Kingdom to do business, I placed people in his caravan, and there should be news to bring back."

"As soon as the Ming army in Liaoxi is defeated, the next one is Chahar and us, maybe Sibeile will personally lead the troops to come, Chahar people can escape, but we can't run, as soon as I think of this, I panic in my heart, big brother, can we beat Sibeile?"

"If you can't beat it, you have to fight, Fengzhou people must not be Jinguo people's Aha, Yuzi, cheer up! Fengzhou is the banner of freedom and equality, you can't fall and can't fall, you treat every Fengzhou person well, Fengzhou people also support you, if the Jin army comes, every Fengzhou person will become a warrior, and the Lord will bless you to defeat the evil enemy. Liu Xingzuo fiercely broke a handful of firewood and threw it into the fire.
