Since it is necessary to gain a firm foothold in the Chuzhou area as quickly as possible, the best way is obviously to popularize the cultivation farms, and only by changing the minds of the local people and making them no longer so hostile, Wang Zheng can go to Nanjing with confidence.

Taking out the map, Wang Zheng's eyes walked around the small Jing County of Chuzhou, and soon found an excellent location.

In the early hours of this morning, the sentinel came to report that only the area around Lai'an was a plain, and most of the rest were rugged mountains, and a few relatively flat places were also potholes.

In addition, there are not many areas suitable for recultivation in Chuzhou, and they are basically concentrated in the vicinity of Lai'an.

Qingliuguan still has some effect, it is surrounded by relatively steep mountains, and you can find a secret valley to establish a logistics transfer point, and it is also a good choice to raise horses there.

Under the order of Anton Hou Wang Zheng, the Shandong army began to forcibly recover the fields in the hands of the large landlords in Chuzhou, and the people could be re-registered and naturalized in the newly established branch office of the Military Council, and receive the corresponding farm tools, seeds and fields according to the household Dingkou.

Due to the establishment of the Security Department and the Military Discussion Department, except for a small number of senior clerks and salt officials who need to be transferred from Shandong, most of the rest will be recruited from the local area.

Obviously, this time Wang Zheng was directly motivated, and the order was mandatory, and he intended to directly bring over the whole system that had been in place in Shandong for a long time.

From the day the order was issued, the soldiers of the Shandong Army and the soldiers and horses of the foreign family began to knock on the door from house to house, even those small landlords with a little more acres of land could not escape.

The result of compliance is naturally the best, the military council will send someone to sign the land deed transfer agreement, and the old man only needs to press a handprint, and you will not suffer too much.

But if you don't, you'll be sorry.

The common people often saw the lord of a certain mansion ignore the repeated warnings of the Shandong army, and in the end none of them came to a good end.

is often rammed into by Shandong soldiers in red armor, killing all the people in the house, exiled them, and finally casually buttoned the hat of a thief, and then the entire property became the name of Anton Hou.

There is one thing that Wang Zheng can't figure out, no matter how he kills, some landlords always look like they regard wealth as their life, knowing the consequences of disobedience, but they are iron roosters.

Just like the Fu King in the city when Li Zicheng besieged Xiangyang, when the officers and soldiers planned to resist at the beginning, they should have scattered wealth to stabilize people's hearts, but even when it was fatal, he still didn't post a word.

even hoped that after the thieves entered the city, they could use the money to let Li Zicheng open up to him, saying that it was a pig in fact, once the thieves entered the city, all your people were not at your fingertips, how could there be any bargaining capital.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that at this time, you only need to cooperate a little, and the Shandong Army will not be too difficult for you.

Moreover, so many years have passed, and no one has heard of any of the gentry who cooperated with Wang Zheng starving to death or going bankrupt.

On the contrary, these people thought that they would go bankrupt, because at first they did not understand the benefits given by Wang Zheng, and they were all crying and mourning, but later they realized that these things were much better than the title deed.

Just like the largest landlord in Shandong - "Lu Wangfu".

The death of the old king Lu is not clear, I don't know what kind of wind he smoked before, just to deprive the son of the inheritance of the family and go home to guard the tomb, the younger brother of the old Lu king, Zhu Yihai, naturally attacked the king of Lu, saying that it will be returned to the prince in the future.

But everyone knows that if this can be returned to the son, it will be hell.

At the beginning of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Yihai had completed all the ceremonies under the escort of the Shandong army, and was canonized by Emperor Chongzhen, officially becoming the new king of Lu.

Not long after that, the prince of King Lu, who guarded the mausoleum, died after the old King Lu, and Zhu Yihai only learned about this matter from Li Yan not long after.

However, whether Li Yan deliberately told himself with Wang Zheng's instructions, Zhu Yihai couldn't figure it out.

Zhu Yihai gave up most of the privileges and acres of land in Shandong, but he became the king of Lu with the help of Wang Zheng as he wished, and was free from worries, and he could be regarded as taking what he needed.

There are many examples of this kind, such as Hao Zhang, the shopkeeper of Jining Commercial Bank in Shandong, who was originally a well-known businessman in Jining and the largest landlord in the vicinity.

When Wang Zheng issued the decree on the cultivation of farms in the six provinces of Shandong, many merchants and landlords went to him, but the shopkeeper Hao took the lead in responding, which was very positive and confusing.

It is only now that many people understand the shrewd businessman mind of the shopkeeper Hao.

Due to Hao's full cooperation with the Shandong army, the Shandong army is also reciprocating, and almost all the business of Jining Commercial Bank is unhindered in Shandong, and the Shandong army does not interfere except for the most basic investigation.

And the most important thing is that Wang Zheng handed over the last bit of green salt, as well as the famous Ninghai salt sales right, to Jining Commercial Bank.

Under the protection of the wings of the Shandong army, Jining Commercial Bank has become the leading commercial bank in Shandong today, and even Nanzhili is a well-known commercial bank.

Many landlords, although most of the land was transferred to Wang Zheng's name, their family wealth became richer with the peace of the place.

At this time, I don't think about any hatred anymore, I just feel that I was too wise and martial at the beginning, and I didn't ruin my future like those fools.

About seven days after Wang Zheng led the Shandong Army soldiers into Chuzhou City, a pacesetter came from a distance, and after arriving at the city, he raised the token with a rough breath.

When the commander of the Shandong army in the city saw it, he immediately ordered the city to be opened, and the pacesetter brought news from afar.

At the beginning of June, Liu Guoneng and Chen Yongfu entered Ruzhou respectively, conquered Yiyang, Baofeng and other places occupied by Shun soldiers, and combined forces to attack Ruzhou City and subjugate the entire territory of Ruzhou.

Immediately afterwards, the two armies merged into one, with a total of more than 30,000 regular soldiers, led by Liu Guoneng, the chief general of Kaifeng Mansion, and went south from Lushan to Nanyang Mansion.

Liu Guoneng's Shandong army, after conquering Yuzhou, directly besieged the city of Nanyang, originally planned to use the fastest speed and the main army led by Wang Zheng to turn, but did not realize that the resistance of the soldiers in the city was extremely fierce, and the people also spontaneously landed in the city.

The Shandong army attacked for three days in a row, Liu Guoneng made a decisive decision and decided to turn around and run to Tang County.

The Shandong army had more than 30,000 soldiers and more than 80,000 Shun soldiers to start an encounter near Tang County, and the battle lasted less than two hours, but both sides suffered heavy losses.

The Shun army suffered a small setback, and the general Gao Yigong was slightly wounded, killing six battalion officers, suffering tens of thousands of casualties, and retreating to Dengzhou for repair.

The Shandong army is not very good, with more than 10,000 casualties, and even the main general Liu Guoneng was seriously injured by Gao Yigong.

After a routine military discussion, everyone felt that the area around Yuzhou was not safe, so they first sent the main general Liu Guoneng back to Ruzhou for resettlement, and the deputy general Chen Yongfu acted as the main general, and led the rest of the troops to stay in Yuzhou to confront Gao Yigong.

At the same time, after the incident in Suizhou, the main general of the Shandong army was punished, and led his troops to close to the territory of Defu to meet with the local foreign general Kong Luan, and the deputy general Ren Hu was left behind in the Cao County area, in order to prevent accidents.

The punishment is a knife, Kong Luan is the deputy, two Shandong army soldiers and horses, the number of descendants and foreign people totals 50,000, including 8,000 cavalry, the army razed the burial post where Li Guo lurked that day to the ground, and it was to go south.

After replenishing part of the military supplies and equipment in Chenzhou, the Shandong Military Punishment Division divided its troops to occupy Shenqiu and Xiangcheng in the extreme south of Kaifeng Prefecture, and followed south into Runing Mansion.

Sorry everyone, it's late.
