Being personally greeted by the patriarch of the Confucian clan and the Doctor of the Five Classics is indeed not the treatment that ordinary members of the ruling class can receive, at least the gentry and merchants in Quzhou all show reverence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Wen's treatment was nothing more than the gratitude he had gained by awakening the Confucian Southern Sect's unwillingness to succumb to barbarian traditions. It was determined that the Son of Yongli was invited by Kong Yanzhen to inherit the Confucian Temple of Nanzong by the Doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, and Chen Wen solemnly worshiped the Confucian Temple, and finally regained some orthodox clothes for the Southern Ming Dynasty that fought against the Manchu Dynasty.

After more than ten days, the people in Quzhou have recovered to a certain extent, and the merchants who responded to the call not only brought goods, but also brought more employment opportunities. Although it is still much worse than before the siege, the vitality has reappeared in the spiritual outlook of the people of Quzhou.

In the past few days, the staff members who were in charge of temporarily acting as civil affairs in Quzhou sold a large number of properties seized by Manchu officials at low prices according to Chen Wen's instructions. These industries led to a large number of foreign merchants began to transform into sitting, and they obtained a series of clerks from the bookkeeper to the small workers in the shops and workshops at low prices, and these employment opportunities enabled the people in Fucheng who lost their jobs because the owner was executed by Chen Jin and the shops and workshops were forced to close their doors to regain the ability to support their families. And these incomes also increased the purchasing power of the city, so that the industries of new merchants could be rewarded without losing their capital.

The commercial cycle was reopened, but Chen Wen did not rush to stop the soup kitchen, but only reduced the scale to two places in front of the government and county government to further stimulate the trade of grain.

There are voices of praise all around, and there are many people along the way to welcome them. However, Chen Wen also knew that according to the calculations of the staff, the soup porridge would last for more than ten days at most, and the grain in the warehouse would be completely exhausted, and the inventory in Jinhua could not be supported for too long. Even if the purchase of grain has already begun, we must further reduce the amount of soup soup from tomorrow, otherwise both the army expansion training and next year's military operations will be affected.

Some local scholars began to serve in the Zhejiang Ming Army, most of them were in the government, and some were in Rong.

Chen Wen planned to send these scholars back to Jinhua for training before replenishing the official positions in various places, especially Quzhou and Chuzhou, two newly occupied lands that urgently needed a large number of officials to maintain the system.

After a few days of postponement in Quzhou, and after determining that the Qing army would not attack, he returned to Jinhua. It was the base camp of the Ming army in Zhejiang, and a lot of work had to be carried out using the facilities and systems here, not to mention the military pressure on the northern front, and Chen Wen had to come back to sit in the town.

It's just that only two days after returning to Jinhua, the news of the Qing army's withdrawal came from the direction of Anhua Town's fortress.

In the second siege of Anhua Town, the Qing army used large-caliber Hongyi artillery that was conducive to the siege of the city, but in the face of the perverted defense of the fortress, the Qing army was still powerless.

The power of the bastion lies in its multi-angle defense system, which can inflict more and greater damage on the besieging army. The strength of the Ming army is only more than 400 people, but the reserves of military supplies and armaments are amazing, but in two months, the defenders do not need to worry about running out of ammunition and food; In the face of the Qing army in the fortress, in addition to not knowing where to get a few large-caliber Hongyi cannons, but the siege methods are still old-fashioned, the soldiers will suffer from the baptism of the defender's artillery from a distance of a few hundred meters, and after crossing the moat and entering the ant-attached siege stage, they will be attacked from multiple angles. Although the Qing army had a great advantage in strength, the Ming army also had a force nearby for containment, which also led to the fact that the Qing army's strength advantage could not be fully exerted.

From the beginning of the siege to the forced release of the siege, the Qing army launched nearly ten large-scale offensives, but the result was only to break a lot of pheasant moats on the convex corners, completely fill in the moat, and cause less than 200 casualties to the Ming army, and this was thanks to the accident at the beginning of the war.

As for the casualties of the Qing army, although most of them were borne by the auxiliaries, the two armies, including Fubiao and Tibiao, also lost more than 700 soldiers in the past two months, and the relatively intact Hangzhou garrison Eight Banners also lost more than 100 people. Such an exchange ratio was unbearable for Jin Li, Tian Xiong, Chang Jingong and others, and there were too many casualties, and the morale of the army had begun to be unstable, especially the troops from the original local green battalion of the rebuilt Fubiao Battalion, who had already complained.

Chen Wen didn't know that Jin Li's insistence so far was mostly due to the Qing court's strict orders, but soon after he lifted the attack on Jiangshan, Jin Li withdrew his troops, apparently receiving the Qing army on the Western Front and temporarily stabilizing the defensive line.

The fighting in Quzhou and northern Jinhua has stopped, the Qing army has returned to the lair to **** wounds, and the Ming army is ready to accumulate greater strength. At this moment, there is only a sign that the war in Chuzhou is far from being extinguished, and it even has the momentum of burning into Wenzhou.

For this reason, Chen Wen dispatched part of the army south to reinforce Chen Guobao, even if he couldn't take advantage of the situation to recover Wenzhou, he had to swallow the piece of meat that had been eaten in his mouth completely.

After receiving the news, Sun Yu dispatched a lot of civilian officials to take over the civil affairs of various counties, and Zhou Jingting had already begun to select some experienced guards to go to the new occupied areas to carry out their work.

These people will inevitably start a period of working for several people by one person, at least until the new officials are trained, and they will be so busy that they will even have time to eat.

In addition to the fact that the officials in Jinhua today have set up the shelves of the county government offices through promotion, the Jinhua Martial Arts School has been upgraded to the Zhejiang Martial Arts School. Most of the new trainees are from the disabled officers of this year's war, and there are also some non-commissioned officers who know some words, and they will complete the most basic training here, and then be supplemented to the county guard posts, serving as the deputy and subordinate of the chief guard officer.

The army has always been Chen Wen's basic plate, even during the Cao Conglong Rebellion, those officers who were forced to rebel would immediately correct once they learned that Chen Wen had returned to the division, because the overcoming of obstacles during this period of time had already made them believe in Chen Wen, and it was not just as simple as kindness and righteousness.

But the stall is getting bigger and bigger, and the officers brought out by Chen Wen himself will also be thinned into the larger and larger army. If it is not arranged in advance, the barrier of space will sooner or later turn this large army into one small private army after another, and they will continue to walk under the leadership of Chen Wen's officers, but the army will no longer be a whole, and the resurgence of feudalism will not be able to eliminate the Manchus before completing this road, then it will be pushed back by the Manchus if it is not done well.

It is a long way to completely eradicate feudalism in the system, but for Chen Wen, who now has more than 10,000 troops, at least many things can be started. (To be continued.) )
