Time is fleeting, more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, in this more than a month, Liu Fan can be said to have gained a lot, the original short plan has basically entered the final stage, it can be said that Liu Fan is now basically in the city to gain a firm foothold.

Feeling this, Liu Fan held a plenary meeting to take stock of the recent results in order to fully understand the current situation and formulate the next plan. The person in charge of various things at the meeting made a report on the progress of his work in the past month.

First of all, on the military side, the 5,000-strong army was divided into five squads to attack everywhere to sweep away the rogues in the city. According to Song Cheng's report, Liu Fan learned of a ridiculous result, originally from the three days after Song Cheng led the team to set off, not for any reason, the Liukou who were originally all around the city disappeared without a trace in just three days, Song Cheng clenched his fists and wanted to give the Liukou a head-on blow, but he didn't expect it to be like an iron fist hitting the cotton, this powerful feeling made Song Cheng very annoyed. In a fit of rage, Song Cheng had no choice but to beat the rabbits with grass, and to catch the bandits who were entrenched in the territory of Chenggu and were reluctant to leave was a beating, these bandits were unlucky, and in a month, they broke five columns of the captive army, fought more than 100 battles, and wiped out all the bandit cottages in more than 100 places in Chenggu. More than 50,000 bandits were captured, and after these bandits were captured, they were sent to various places to redo laborers according to Liu Fan's order, contributing their labor force to the reconstruction and restoration of the city to atone for their sins.

And Song Cheng also learned the reason for the disappearance of the Liukou in a bandit den that was connected to the Liukou. It was originally from the time Song Cheng set off, and Liukou knew the purpose of Liu Fan's army. The rogues entrenched near the city are only small groups of rogues such as mountain harriers and rolling tigers, and the largest number of them is only three or five thousand, and the sum of several bandits is only a little more than 30,000. In the face of Liu Fan's army of 5,000, these rogues panicked. On the current battlefield of the Central Plains, in addition to Lu Xiangsheng "King Lu Yan", Liu Fan's broken army has the strongest combat effectiveness, and even Zhang Xianzhong and other 36 battalions of more than half of the elite as many as 100,000 horses were defeated by Liu Fan's 20,000 army. After gathering everyone to discuss, these people decisively chose to "avoid their edge" either to withdraw or hide in the mountains. After completing the clearance, Song Cheng set up several checkpoints and small military stations on several important transportation arteries, and the rest of the army began to return, except for Sun Liang, who was still in charge of surveying and mapping the map, the rest of the nearly 5,000 troops returned to the military camp outside Chenggu Town.

Although he failed to exterminate some of the rogues, Liu Fan's goal of exercising the soldiers' adaptability and protecting the territory and the people was achieved. The good public security environment and huge business opportunities have attracted a large number of businessmen from the surrounding areas, who have brought prosperity to Chenggu while earning profits, and greatly promoted the recovery and development of Chenggu.

In terms of civil affairs again, after the arrival of political workers in Shandong, Liu Fan finally let go of his worries. This time the team came to be responsible for the cultivation of high-yield crops Zhang Yupeng, this Zhang Yupeng was responsible for the cultivation of high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn when he was in Jiaozhou, with rich experience and steady work, and won Liu Fan's respect and trust. This time, Liu Fan asked him by name to use his talents to quickly open up the situation and promote high-yield crops in Shaanxi, so that the people can see the tangible benefits brought by high-yield crops. Zhang Yupeng really lived up to expectations, and after being appointed by Liu Fan as the chief civil affairs officer, he quickly took over the heavy burden of civil affairs management, and led the civil affairs personnel in Shandong to quickly stabilize the situation by virtue of their rich experience, and reorganized and planned the management methods and various regulations of the exile camp. With their joining, the governance of Chenggu was soon on the right track, schools were built, bags of high-yielding seeds were distributed to the displaced people, and plots of land were redivided and distributed to the displaced people according to the previous agreement. From this moment on, these people who left their homes to survive in all directions completely got rid of the title of "displaced people" and became ordinary and happy people again.

And all this is not so wonderful for Zhang Xiaohe, originally before the people of Shandong came, the big and small affairs of the city, except for Liu Fan, he Zhang Xiaohe had the final say, but since Zhang Yupeng of Shandong accepted the civil affairs, his power shrank rapidly, and in the end, there was only the job of recruiting displaced people, although Liu Fan was appointed as the deputy chief of civil affairs, but everyone knew that this was a bright rise and a secret fall. After tasting the taste of power, he was suddenly deprived, and the dissatisfaction and unwillingness in Zhang Xiaohe's heart can be imagined. But although there was a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart, Zhang Xiaohe didn't dare to make any small moves behind Liu Fan's back, because he knew very well how strong Liu Fan's strength was, just the tip of the iceberg that he showed now, made Zhang Xiaohe tremble, once he betrayed Liu Fan, what kind of tragic result would wait for him? Zhang Xiaohe didn't dare to think about it.

There is no way to jump out of the rules, so Zhang Xiaohe can only adapt to the rules, and the rules of the Broken Army, the rules formulated by Liu Fan are completely unfamiliar to Zhang Xiaohe, who has been living in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty. Although there are many difficulties, the unwillingness in his heart and his dedication to power still drive Zhang Xiaohe to do his best to adapt to the new rules. For a long time after that, Liu Fan was surprised to find that Zhang Xiaohe kept following Zhang Yupeng around, looking forward and backward, it can be said that he was extremely flattering, and even more enthusiastic than himself. Out of curiosity, Liu Fan asked Zhang Yupeng to ask the reason, and through Zhang Yupeng's narration, Liu Fan quickly discovered Zhang Xiaohe's purpose, and Liu Fan was still very clear about Zhang Xiaohe's thoughts, and this kind of thing was also the result that he was happy to see. So he asked Zhang Yupeng to take more care of him, and the most important thing was to "brainwash" him, and Zhang Xiaohe's position would not change until he gained Liu Fan's trust.

In addition to the military offensive, civil affairs construction two major aspects, the rest such as training recruits, building ordnance, and collecting intelligence have achieved good results. (To be continued.) )
