Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Tieshan and Xuanzhou have been occupied by the Houjin for many years, and the people here, although they continue to resist the leadership of the Houjin Tartars, there are also some people, in order to survive, choose to cooperate with the Houjin Tartars, Su Tiancheng, who has crossed the country, understands the truth in this, he will not be harsh to the people, but the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion do not necessarily have such thoughts, they must hate those Han people who cooperate with the Houjin Tartars, and call them traitors.

Su Tiancheng has his own views on traitors, for example, Fan Wencheng, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others can be regarded as hardcore traitors, which can't be said, as for the places occupied by the Houjin, including cities and villages and towns, the people here are still living their own lives, and they have not taken the initiative to organize against the Houjin Tartars, and they have not fought with the Houjin Tartars, you can't say that they are traitors, as for those who curry favor with the Houjin Tartars and hope to get benefits, as long as they do not help the people to abuse, they do not harm the people, even if he can't be a traitor.

Of course, Su Tiancheng also knows that these places that have been recovered must have Houjin spies, these spies, may be Manchurian, or they may be Han, this is unavoidable, after all, this place has been occupied by Houjin for a long time, besides, some Han people have no confidence in the Ming army, I don't know if these places will continue to be occupied by Houjin Tartars, because the people here have seen the courage and brutality of Houjin Tartars.

From this point of view, the places that were recaptured by the Jiangning camp still need to be built and educated on a large scale.

The warship formation will soon bring a large number of officials from Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou and other places, and the key to the development of a place lies in the government and officials, and these officials who followed Su Tiancheng were familiar with Su Tiancheng's style. I also know how to build Lushun and Jinzhou and other places, Su Tiancheng has laid a good foundation for them, at least the people in these places, whether they are Han or Manchu, are very supportive of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, because of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion. It has not infringed on any interests of the common people, and it is estimated that the common people here have not seen such an army.

But how to build this place well, this is the most critical place.

There is a big difference between Dengzhou and Dengzhou and other places, Dengzhou and Laizhou were built on a ruin, and there are not many people in Qingzhou, so a lot of policies are very easy to implement, but Lushun and other places. There are a lot of people, and the ingredients are also very complex, so it takes more thought to build this place.

Su Tiancheng knew very well that Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Tieshan, Xuanzhou and other places played a very important role as the rear defense base of the Jiangning battalion, and the Jiangning battalion must rely on it. He remembered that hundreds of years later, a military strategist once said. The base area is extremely important, and without a base area, it is equivalent to having no home, and without a home and no house, it is equivalent to a wanderer, a second-rate person floating around. When encountering a violent storm, you will be homeless, have no house to live in, you will be blown away by the strong wind, wet by the torrential rain, and you will freeze to death and starve to death when the weather is cold. There will be no place to bury.

After building Lushun and other places, the Jiangning battalion can gain a foothold here, and get the support of the people here, the next step can be a bold attack on Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou and other places, you can step by step encroach on the place occupied by the Houjin, step by step compress the living place of the Houjin Tartars, and finally start a decisive battle with the Houjin Tartars.

After careful consideration, Su Tiancheng decided to let Qu Qingze complete this task.

When Qu Qingze entered the house, Zhou Tianhao got straight to the point.

"Lao Qu, the officials of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou are about to come, in just a few days, the Jiangning battalion occupies Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Tieshan and Xuanzhou, etc., occupying these places, it seems very easy, but if you want to build these places well, I'm afraid it's not so simple, you directly tell your thoughts."

Qu Qingze thought for a moment.

"My lord, the lower officials think that the management of Lushun and other places should still be harsh, these places have been occupied by the Houjin Tartars for nearly ten years, and some places have even been more than ten years, for example, Xuanzhou and other places, the common people in these places are accustomed to the leadership of the Houjin Tartars, and even recognize the thief as their father, in this case, it must be strictly managed, the people in these places, maybe there are many people, who are the spies of the Houjin Tartars, who specialize in monitoring every move of my Jiangning battalion, and always want to report to the Houjin Tartars. Xia Guan felt that through the harsh management, the common people understood that the imperial court had completely occupied these places, and this was originally the place of my Ming Dynasty, and they could only obey the orders of the imperial court and make enemies of the Houjin Tartars, I am afraid that the situation would really improve. ”

"Oh, then what do you think these places mean to my Jiangning Camp."

"The lower officials think that these places, for my Jiangning battalion, can not be relied on for the time being, the military camp where the Jiangning battalion is stationed, must be under martial law, no one is allowed to approach, once the Houjin Tartars come to attack, the soldiers must rely on their own strength, heavy damage to the Houjin Tartars, as long as after several battles, a large number of Houjin Tartars, the people in these places will naturally understand the power of the Jiangning Battalion."

"Lao Qu, what do you mean, I have strict requirements for the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, you are not satisfied, is that so?"

Qu Qingze was also refreshed and nodded.

Su Tiancheng's expression became serious.

"Lao Qu, these days, I have heard some of the following discussions, if it is said that ordinary sergeants have not seen through the truth, it is understandable, but you should understand, to give the simplest example, and you are most familiar with the thing, our intelligence network, so many intelligence officers, you think that they all serve us, there is no idea, is it possible, the composition of our intelligence network is very complex, three religions and nine streams, everyone has it, but our intelligence network, for what can obtain a large amount of information, To provide a guarantee for our decision-making, the dark line of Jinyi Wei, the system is very perfect, the strength is extremely powerful, and the Yu Lu is also very good, but why can we not grasp the key information, because the above requirements are too harsh, such and such regulations have been made, and some regulations are even out of reality. ”

"From this example, the same situation is the case in Lushun and other places that we occupy, it is very complicated, people's hearts are unstable, any ideas may appear, and even our army goes out to fight, we dare not guarantee that the rear is stable, such a situation, if we cannot get a fundamental improvement, we will not be able to achieve a greater victory, and it is also a war that cannot see the smoke of gunpowder."

"We have to win, how to win, kill all those we suspect, is that okay, I don't think necessarily, I guess the more people we kill, the more unstable these places will be, unless you kill everyone, then we will become sinners through the ages."

"I still mean that, let's not be harsh, the people here don't have much mistake, they choose to cooperate with the Houjin Tartars in order to survive, this is no way to do it, you can't ask everyone to be the same as the Jiangning Battalion soldiers, they are all forbidden by order, they will never give in, lost Lushun and other places, in fact, it is our responsibility, this was originally the place of the Ming Dynasty, for what was occupied by the Houjin Tartars, when they were killed, how many ordinary people were slaughtered."

"Therefore, the first thing we have to do is to trust the people here, and use our management methods in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou to treat the people here, people's hearts are long, as long as we trust the people, they will be able to support us, there are very few examples, iron-hearted traitors also exist, but this is a minority after all, the intelligence you analyzed yesterday, I have seen it, I think, for the time being, don't go to check what the spies of the Golden Tartars, don't cause panic, First of all, we must implement the tax policy to reduce the burden on the people, and all the expenses of the Jiangning camp, including the expenses of the government, should not be exploited from the people for the time being. ”

"As long as we do these things in place, you can rest assured that the people here will take the initiative to find out those Houjin spies, and you don't need to spend time investigating."

"Lao Qu, I will entrust you to be responsible for this matter, the officials who come here, you must tell them these truths, this is a requirement, it must be done, the officials must have enough patience, and they must not be allowed to oppress the people at will.

"As long as these are done, Lushun and other places will be able to stabilize as quickly as possible and become a solid base for the Jiangning battalion, we must rely on these places, we must base ourselves here, strengthen our strength, and lay a solid foundation for the next attack on Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou."

"Lao Qu, I can only give you three months, so that the people here can support the Jiangning camp and the government, fortunately, during this time, it is the season of the autumn harvest, through this autumn harvest, we can unite people's hearts at the fastest speed."

"I want to emphasize one point later, for those officials who have done things in the government before, have good performance, good ability, and have a good reputation among the people, they must be bold to use, I have such a mind, and I must be able to tolerate people, I can tell you that if we do this, Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Tieshan and Xuanzhou and other places can completely restore stability in the shortest possible time."

Qu Qingze looked at Su Tiancheng and was dumbfounded, but Su Tiancheng made arrangements, whether he thought it clearly or not, the first thing to do was to execute the order. (To be continued......)
