Since you want to build Dengzhou and Laizhou into a real base, you need to make detailed arrangements, before Su Tiancheng was in Jiangning County and Henan Mansion, as well as Shaanxi, there were some specific problems, for example, Jiangning County, which belongs to the direct jurisdiction of Yingtianfu, a relatively wealthy area, is also a place that the imperial court attaches more importance to, as for Henan Mansion and Shaanxi Province, they were both very poor areas at that time, and there were often rogues who made trouble, and they could not think of building it as a base for the time being.

The situation of Dengzhou and Laizhou is relatively mature, there is a very good location advantage here, it was once a place of special attention to the imperial court, Dengzhou capital was also used to be an artillery training base, land and sea transportation are very developed, Chongzhen five years, Kong Youde rebellion, the entire Dengzhou and Laizhou fell into a huge panic, that time the rebellion, the blow to Dengzhou and Laizhou is relatively large, plus after the war, the focus of the Houjin invasion began to shift to Datong, Ningxia, here was slowly abandoned by the imperial court, It has not been able to recover for many years, and the common people are struggling on the death line, but the illegal salt here is rampant, and many salt lords have made money here, which can maintain the basic development here.

Dolgon led the Houjin soldiers, this massacre, it was a devastating blow to Dengzhou and Laizhou, whether it was officials, guards, troops, salt lords, or bandits who occupied the king's land, they were ruthlessly exterminated by Houjin soldiers, and not many escaped, Dolgon's invasion of Dengzhou and Laizhou, the idea was to completely destroy here, which was beyond the expectations of those salt lords and bandits.

When Su Tiancheng came here, he was painting on a piece of white paper soaked in blood.

The basic conditions of Dengzhou and Laizhou still existed, and in any case, the transportation advantage could not be erased, and after the devastating destruction of Dorgon, it was completely abandoned by the imperial court. It can be seen from the imperial court's suggestion that Su Tiancheng recommend the prefect, so it is possible to develop here and completely cultivate its own potential.

Although it is said that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were stationed in Dengzhou and Laizhou, although it is said that the officials in Shandong know all this. But no one will take the initiative to go to Dengzhou and Laizhou, and no one cares about the situation here.

Su Tiancheng took a fancy to this, so he decided to take care of Dengzhou and Laizhou carefully, so that they could become rich quickly, and let his henchmen be stationed here.

Deng Hui and Lan Qiao are coming here to serve as prefects. It was also carefully considered by Su Tiancheng, Deng Hui's loyalty is needless to say, Lan Qiaozheng was an official of the Governor's Shi Department before, and he knew the relationship between himself and Zhu Xianxuan, and he must do his best to protect his own interests, and these two people will not cause too much discussion in Dengzhou and Laizhou, in the imperial court. After all, they are not Su Tiancheng's family, and they will not encounter so much suspicion.

And such an arrangement. pulled Zhu Xianxuan in.

Therefore, while waiting for the imperial court's decree, Su Tiancheng had already issued an order to move the families of the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion in Henan Prefecture to Dengzhou and Laizhou on a large scale.

The families of these soldiers, the life at home is good. In today's Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as a large household, each family has a certain amount of silver taels and grain, and they come to Dengzhou and Laizhou to reduce the relief of the government. Moreover, this time, when they came to Dengzhou and Laizhou, they could get a large amount of land, which was assigned to their own names, which played a pivotal role in further condensing the loyalty of the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion.

In early September, a large number of families of Jiangning Battalion soldiers began to enter Dengzhou and Laizhou one after another.

At the same time, Sun Chuanting, Luo Chang, Liu Tiehan, Ma Huabiao and others were responsible for personally receiving the families of these soldiers, and directly put forward relevant requirements and began to divide the land according to the scale of the region.

After Luo Chang and Ma Huabiao led 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion to arrive, they joined in the work of measuring cultivated land, and the progress of the work was significantly accelerated, and it was completed in a short time.

In this process, Su Tianhao, Xu Jili, Gu Xingsong and others, as well as some thousands of households selected from the Jiangning camp, came to Dengzhou and Laizhou successively, and served as the magistrate of the county and the prefecture, among which Su Tianhao served as the magistrate of Pingdu Prefecture, Xu Jili served as the magistrate of Jiaozhou County, and Gu Xingsong served as the magistrate of Wendeng County. These three places are very important, Jiaozhou and Wendeng, respectively, control two port places, Wendeng Prefecture is very important in the geographical location of Laizhou, and it is also a more famous place in Shandong.

This time, the families of the Jiangning battalion soldiers who moved to Dengzhou and Laizhou were close to 100,000 people, and the resettlement of these people was not so simple.

With these people coming to Dengzhou and Laizhou, some of the military tun households of Guan Ningjin also came to Dengzhou and Laizhou.

In fact, there were some military tun households to Dengzhou and Laizhou, the main task of these military tun households, is to build the city, the imperial court allocated two million taels of silver, mainly used to build Dengzhou capital city and Laizhou capital city, according to Su Tiancheng's requirements, the rebuilt two capital cities, the scale is more than double the previous one, the city does not pay attention to the construction of the city wall, the focus is on the construction of the internal roads of the government and the city, and strictly do a good job in relevant planning.

In this way, a lot of silver taels were saved, and the military households who had just moved in also got the silver, were allocated land, and could settle down here, their identities also quietly changed, and they came to Dengzhou and Laizhou, and all of them were re-registered.

There is also a special group of people who migrated to Dengzhou and Laizhou, that is, the Han people who defected to the Ming Dynasty.

After Su Tiancheng captured Montenegro, there were more Han people who defected, once more than 200,000 people, the range of 400 miles from the Daling River to Shanhaiguan was limited, the key was that the land in that area was a little barren, and the climate was not very good, so it was difficult to accommodate so many Han people for a while, so after careful screening, 100,000 Han people were relocated to Dengzhou and Laizhou.

Nearly 300,000 people have migrated to Dengzhou and Laizhou, and with the original population, the situation in Dengzhou and Laizhou has changed greatly in less than two months.

The increase in population, especially the relocation of the families of the Jiangning battalion soldiers to Dengzhou and Laizhou, has attracted the attention of businessmen in Jiangning County, Henan Prefecture, and Shaanxi Province.

The speed of development of the situation exceeded Su Tiancheng's expectations.

It turned out that she was going to return to Ningyuan after a month, but the speed of development in Dengzhou and Laizhou surprised him, and a plan emerged, and he finally proposed to build a governor's mansion in Dengzhou.

This is prescient, Su Tiancheng's determination to build the Governor's Mansion here, is not just considering the problem of Houjin, his eyes turned to the sea, on the other side of the sea, there is a vast land, waiting for the Ming Dynasty to conquer after complete stability.

The task of building the Governor's Mansion was directly handed over to Luo Chang.

Luo Chang, who was in charge of the overall defense of Dengzhou and Laizhou, would not waste time at all, and immediately organized the former military tunhu, and he gathered 3,000 people at one time and demanded that the governor's mansion be built within two months.

A series of measures in Dengzhou and Laizhou first attracted the attention of the governor of Shandong, of course, he could not interfere, nor did he dare to interfere, but he could report these situations to the imperial court.

In late September, Yang Sichang, a member of the Cabinet University and a secretary of the Ministry of War, came to Dengzhou.

The news of Yang Sichang's appointment as the first assistant of the cabinet, a few people know the way, for example, the second assistant of the cabinet, Tang Shiji, Su Tiancheng also knows the way, so he received Yang Sichang very warmly.

Yang Sichang's attitude towards Su Tiancheng is also very good, he knows very well that he can serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, which has the credit of Su Tiancheng, in this case, he still has to repay the favor.

After Yang Sichang came to Dengzhou, Su Tiancheng gave a detailed introduction to the difficulties existing in Dengzhou and Laizhou.

Along the way, Yang Sichang also saw, everywhere is full of devastation, Dengzhou and Laizhou have been damaged, it is indeed devastating, although Su Tiancheng has moved a large number of people over, but if you want to do a good job in Dengzhou and Laizhou, I am afraid it is not a matter of a while, when you arrive in Dengzhou, you see the Dengzhou Mansion City that is being repaired, Yang Sichang is very emotional, and said that the imperial court will give strong support, and it is not easy for Su to be able to do this.

Su Tiancheng needs to leave Yang Sichang with such an impression, from Sun Chengzong's letter, I learned that after the beginning of the year, the first assistant of the cabinet is Yang Sichang, and now Yang Sichang has entered the cabinet, in charge of the affairs of the household department and the military department, Sun Chengzong is slowly fading out, the emperor trusts Yang Sichang very much, and he is also very satisfied with Yang Sichang's performance.

Yang Sichang inspected Dengzhou and Laizhou for four days, and Su Tiancheng accompanied him from beginning to end.

Yang Sichang is also concerned about the situation in Dalinghe City, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, a few months have passed, the border pass is very peaceful, nothing happened, Houjin Tartar did not loot, as if he was honest overnight, the Jiangning battalion soldiers and border troops stationed in Dalinghe City also strictly followed the requirements, inspected the boundary of about ten miles away from Dalinghe City, not exceeding this boundary, the two sides seemed to have discussed, and each abided by the rules.

The emperor used to be strange, and then finally understood that the Emperor Taiji of Houjin was really afraid of the Jiangning battalion and the border army of the Ming Dynasty, and did not dare to launch an attack at will. (To be continued......)
