Between June and August of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Dengzhou battalion was in Jinan Prefecture to prevent refugees from gathering and farming, and they were registered to work.

The refugees from all these places were collected in the account books and distributed among the new or ongoing granges, and at the same time, large tracts of wasteland between Jinan and Dongchang were resold to Wang Zheng, the general soldier of Shandong.

It is also strange to say that this time, the big households rarely did not come forward to stop it, but took out the account books of their own acres of land that had been sealed for many years, and sent domestic servants to help the Dengzhou camp to check and measure.

All classes are doing their best to help the Dengzhou camp, and Qingzhou Mansion and Jinan Mansion are changing day by day.

These wastelands have solved the land crisis in Dengzhou camps, and most of them have been used to resettle displaced people and refugees, so that a large number of refugees have returned to their places of origin, and many displaced people from other places have settled here.

Now they have re-recorded their names, places of origin, and the number of family members in the local government office, and then they have received seeds and plough tools from the branch office of the Military Affairs Department, and they have received ploughing cattle from the branch office of the Inspection Department.

After this whole set of procedures, the real people can get their own acres, and generally speaking, where each household has their acres, there will be a grange for them to live in.

For a time, Wang Zheng became a living Bodhisattva in the eyes of the people.

If you want to get a return, you have to pay first, in order to achieve such an effect, the price is naturally huge, and the reason why the gentry and big families spared no effort to help the Dengzhou camp is precisely because they have obtained a lot of benefits from it.

The cost of buying acres of land at market prices alone has reached more than 5,000 taels of silver, not including the ever-increasing cost of ploughing tools, cattle and sheep, seeds, and various construction materials.

If you really do the math, Dengzhou Camp does this, in fact, it is not profitable.

Although the expenses have gradually increased, the various businesses of the Dengzhou camp have already circulated to Qinhuai and Fujian, the treasury is full, and there is a net income every day, so there will be no malfunction.

A lot of money was spent, and the results achieved by Ju Farming Grange were also very remarkable.

Seeing that the gathering and cultivation of Jinan Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion were about to be completed, the Dengzhou Battalion released another major news, sending regular soldiers and generals to various towns in Jinan Prefecture to set up military camps, and posting notices to recruit regular soldiers and salt ding.

The regular soldiers and salt Ding of the two prefectures of Denglai were originally sufficient, but after several successive external draws and foreign stationing, various places were already stretched, and Wang Zheng started recruiting troops at this time, which was also a helpless move.

The recruitment of the Dengzhou battalion is larger and larger every time, and this time it is all over Jinan, Qingzhou, and Denglai, and many young and strong people enthusiastically join the army.

Such a large-scale recruitment is bound to make matters worse in the huge expenses, and Wang Zheng is sincerely happy to see that he is getting better day by day.

After the regular soldiers are recruited, they are generally set up in the local camp, and after a short time, the Dengzhou battalion will send veterans to various places to serve as grassroots officers and lead new recruits.

Correspondingly, almost all the town defenders in various places have become hard-core characters on the town side, this kind of person must not only be absolutely loyal, but also have the corresponding ability, enough to subdue the local juniors.

These generals can't be picked by Wang Zheng alone, in fact, there are too many people to remember, and they are often decided by consulting with Li Yan, Guan Qingtian, Gu Junen and other staff officers of the Military Discussion Department.

Brainstorming, checking and filling in the gaps, the list of people who have been appointed to the post in various places are all old qualifications in the Dengzhou battalion, and they are basically promoted all the way from Yanding, Yanding, regular soldiers, and soldiers all the way up by virtue of military merits.

After countless experiences and assessments, fighting out of the battlefield of the corpse mountain and sea of blood, this is what created this new batch of garrisons, thousand generals, guerrillas and even generals.

Wang Zheng asked them to lead troops to garrison the place, and it was definitely more than enough to subdue Xiaoxiao.

The rice has to be eaten in one bite, Wang Zheng knows that the six provinces of Shandong are very erosive, the situation is not quiet, and the strength of the Dengzhou camp is not enough, so he can only change little by little and move forward steadily.

If you rush to achieve results, it can only backfire.

At present, the area actually controlled by the Dengzhou battalion has suddenly doubled, encompassing the four prefectures of Dengzhou, Lai, Qing, and Jinan, and the number of soldiers and various logistical officials needed is also huge.

After the notices were posted, the newly built military camps, the sub-offices of the Military Council Division, and the sub-offices of the Inspection Department welcomed a large number of displaced people and refugees to sign up every day.

Of course, there are still a large number of brave people who are eager to make contributions and make their wives and sons.

Shandong Province is recovering from a near-death state at a very fast pace, but in fact, as early as when Wang Zheng and Wenxiangjiao were in Deng, Lai, Qingzhou and other places, there was a great rise of swords in places other than Shandong.

Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, and others, who returned to the Ming court last year, really had wolf ambitions, and in May, they united with some well-known leaders such as the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, and raised the "banner of righteousness" again in Gucheng and Fang County.

In fact, the magistrates of the two places have long been aware of the disobedience of these rogues, but they are only small magistrates, and they can't even reach the mansion of Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces.

Even if it can be in the hands of today's cabinet auxiliary ministers and Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, I am afraid that they will be concealed and not reported.

This Yang Ge Lao is deeply favored and has the grace of his own, but he will suppress any report that is unfavorable to him.

Even Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three provinces, and others dared to suppress the Tang report, and it is conceivable what fate the small local county order will be.

Under these circumstances, most of the officers and troops continued to defend themselves in various places, and the resurgence of the rogue soon deteriorated rapidly under the condition of "not knowing from above and not reporting from below."

In fact, at the beginning, the official army still had some opportunities, and the closest to Gucheng was the Zuo Liangyu battalion, which was known as a soldier with hundreds of thousands of imperial court officers and soldiers, and was once again very disappointing.

The left battalion was once again defeated by Zhang Xianzhong and the fifth battalion of the revolution, the horses rushed to flee for their lives, the lost troops were defeated more than once, and Zuo Liangyu, who was known as the general of the Ping Thief, fled to Shanxi in embarrassment.

Almost at the same time, the various departments across several provinces echoed each other, and the Central Plains, which had just been "peaceful" for less than a year, was again a scene full of beacons in the blink of an eye.

The bandits swarmed, causing a large number of officers and troops to break up every time they passed, and countless people were once again homeless, or swept away by the bandits, or went into exile.

Compared with the last few times, this time the rogues were well prepared, and the officers and soldiers were often dismissed when they started the incident, and without the stop of most of the officers and soldiers, it was more like the end was approaching.

The officers and troops have not yet stopped an effective counterattack, and these rogues have snowballed in size and in number.

The resurgence of the Liukou this time is more like the last blow to the declining Ming Dynasty, and it is after this year in history that the Ming army has completely turned into a disadvantage to the Liukou.

From the initial mutual victory and defeat, to the rout.

Naturally, Shandong is not immune to this kind of rogue incident that has swept the whole country.
