When the news of Di Qing's conquest of Gaizhou reached Guangning, Jiang Chuan was overjoyed.

He watched the battle report turn back and forth on the ground several times, and his face couldn't hide the joy. This speed really didn't happen to him.

Moreover, Di Qing also said the news of the return of the Mongolian Chahar Department in the war report, which also made Jiang Chuan overjoyed.

After rejoicing, he realized the deep meaning behind these two good news, and in short, this news has confirmed that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is no longer monolithic.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty originally relied on the threat of force, and everything was full of naked violence. The Han people are not convinced, kill! The Mongols are not convinced, kill! The North Koreans are not convinced, kill!

It can be said that the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty relied on a killing word.

The ancients said that the royal way lies in fearing the power of Huaide. The Manchu Qing conquered the Quartet but only had one powerful character, but it had nothing to do with the German word. Now that their majesty has been trampled under the feet of the Jiang family army again and again, it is natural that they will not be able to make the people they conquer fearful anymore.

When Jiang Chuan received Di Qing's battle report, the 40,000 main forces led by Hu Zongxian had just left Guangning City.

According to the original plan, Jiang Chuan asked people to find Shanjia, and asked him to quickly lead 10,000 horses to escort grain and grass to Gaizhou, and after arriving, he changed his guard with Di Qing, and assisted Di Qing to change those prisoners into servant troops, so that they could follow Di Qing and them to attack Shengjing.

As for the specific plan, Jiang Chuan asked Shanjia, Hu Zongxian, and Di Qing to discuss. He believed that with the wisdom of these people, he would definitely be able to guarantee that there would be no chaos.

Hu Zongxian should have also gotten the news, and Jiang Chuan wrote a letter to Hu Zongxian and Di Qing, asking Hu Zongxian to preside over it with all his might. The letter to Di Qing was naturally a letter of commendation, saying that he would take credit for him when he came back.

After the letter sent someone away, Jiang Chuan focused on a big thing to do in front of him.

At the beginning, after conquering Liaoyang and Gaizhou, Jiang Chuan did not rush to move the large Manchu nobles in these two cities, but only took key measures to monitor them.

At the beginning, I thought that the people's hearts were unstable, and I was worried that I would easily provoke turmoil if I took too big steps, which was not conducive to stabilizing the people's minds.

Now that the situation has changed, the main force of the Qing army has been taken care of, and now there is only the share of defending Shengjing, and there is no strength to make a comeback and launch a counteroffensive.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan took measures from outside the city to inside the city, and cleared all the landed Manchu nobles in the villages around the two cities, distributed the fields of those guys to the Han people who had been enslaved by them before, and took this opportunity to set up a field protection team.

The establishment of the Tianhu team not only solved the threat of these Manchurians outside the city, but also allowed the Jiang army to have an extra group of troops out of thin air, which was of positive significance to the situation in the city.

Now that there was no external threat, Jiang Chuan set his sights on these people again.

Last time, the method of fighting evil with evil was used, and those officials of the yamen were asked to torture those who were officials, and a lot of silver was squeezed out of those people.

There are more than two million taels of silver in a city in Guangning, and Liu Ji in Liaoyang also made more than one million taels of silver.

This is only for those who are officials in the city, not counting those big and wealthy merchants.

These more than 3 million taels of silver made Jiang Chuan taste the sweetness, so he decided to attack these Manchu nobles and big families.

He first issued a notice in the name of the government: "The army is going to Shengjing, and there is a shortage of military expenses, food and grass, and it needs the active funding of the large gentry in the city." Those who take the initiative to donate money and food can not only receive a plaque issued by the government, but also be exempted from paying taxes for one to three years. Of course, the amount of an individual's donation must match his family property, and if the family has a cow but is only willing to pluck one hair, the government will make him forcibly pledge according to the will of the people. As for how to enforce the law, it is naturally impossible to comment on it, and use your imagination on your own. ”

As soon as this notice was issued, the poor class and ordinary people in the city naturally cheered and shouted in support.

As for those rich businessmen, they naturally complained bitterly, and scolded Jiang Chuan in their hearts for being bandits and robbers.

Originally, according to Jiang Chuan's original idea, he directly asked people to make a list, and then searched his home according to the list. It was only later that Hu Zongxian suggested to him that doing so would easily cause turmoil in the hearts of the people and give the people a bad impression, after all, they were not bandits who looted a vote and left, but wanted to govern the government of this place for a long time.

Jiang Chuan is as good as a stream, so he made such a salute before the soldiers.

He hoped that the rich and big families would make a fuss, and he would have an excuse to raid his house directly.

The deadline given by Jiang Chuan is three days, and if he is not satisfied with the amount of money and food pledged by these rich families within three days, he will directly start to raid his house.

Jiang Chuan now has a big family and a big business, and he needs money everywhere. The money he was going to use for conscription. In the future, when the territory is larger and more and more cities are conquered, more and more troops will be needed to defend it.

He now has on his desk a new reorganization plan for the Jiang Jiajun after its expansion. As soon as the money and food were in place, he was going to start the matter.

Moreover, Bai Jinxiu also contacted a lot of businessmen in Datong, and those businessmen showed great interest in the commercial blanks in Gaizhou and Guangning after the two cities were cleaned up, so they were waiting for Jiangchuan to do it.

Jiang Chuan sat at the prefect's yamen for the past three days and waited, watching how many people came to the door to take the initiative to pledge.

As a result, three days later, he asked Sima Muyi, the Chinese army in charge of registration, and Mu Yi hesitated for a moment before saying: "Master Hou, less than ten households have come to pledge in three days. ”

Ten households? Jiang Chuan's eyes suddenly became cold, he reached out and grabbed the list in Mu Yi's hand, and hurriedly scanned it, only to see that there were only nine large wealthy businessmen who had pledged to donate on it, and the silver was only 50,000 taels, and the grain was less than 10,000 stones, which was basically 5,000 taels of silver and 1,000 stones of grain and grass for a family.

Looking at Jiang Chuan's cold eyes, Mu Yi knew that those big families were going to be unlucky, and this was forcing Wu Anhou to raid the house.

After staring at this list for a long time, Jiang Chuan suddenly laughed, threw the list to the ground, turned to Mu Yi and said, "Do these bastards think that this marquis is too gentle, and use this money to send Huazi?" Remember, there are people on the list, you don't need to arrest people, you can directly search your home. Those who are not on the list will be raided and all the shops under their names will be seized. ”

Mu Yi looked at Jiang Chuan's eyes, shuddered, and hurriedly said, "My subordinates obey orders, so I will take someone to do it." ”

"You go with Li Jian and act separately. I couldn't fit in the prison, so I was locked up in the barracks. I'd like to see how hard the bones can be for these toasting dogs. Jiang Chuan added fiercely.

"My subordinates understand!" Mu Yi clenched his fists and said loudly, and then hurriedly went out with a team of people.
