It took Yang Feng half a month to finally complete his armed parade, when he stepped on the bank of the Yellow River Yaobing, the entire east of the Taihang Mountains and north of the Yellow River, except for Shandong, there are also some mountainous areas under the control of the gentry led by the Confucian family, all other prefectures and counties cut their braids and replaced them with the dragon hugging the sun and moon flag, and at the same time began to change into the long-lost Han family clothes.

And in the same way, with the strange tacit cooperation between him and Kang Mazi, the 170,000 grassland warriors were all wiped out.

More than 100,000 of them died in the Ming army and the green battalions in various places, regimental exercises, and the beating of the common people, more than 60,000 people were captured or surrendered in despair, and the remaining few went into the Taihang Mountain to feed the beasts, at this time it has entered the winter, and even the first snow has fallen, it is impossible for them to get out of the hundreds of miles wide Taihang Mountain alive. There are also undisclosed figures that at least 5,000 grassland warriors actually fell under the guns of the Qing army in the passes along the Reverse Horse Pass, Longquan Pass, Niangzi Pass and other passes, and Kang Mazi's secret order has been given to the generals everywhere when these people leave the pass, as long as they are defeated, no one is allowed to enter the pass.

Non-toxic not husband.

It is his best choice to let these elites on the grassland bury their bones in the plains, and a grassland where only the old and weak women and children are left is what he hopes to see the most.

He got the grassland, and Yang Wangye got the Central Plains.

None of them lost this game.

Only the great khans of the steppe who lost, because of greed, because of extravagance, because of extravagance, they finally lost everything.

Subsequently, Kang Mazi did not send a single soldier to the outside of Kunshan to reinforce the various parts of Henan that were about to face the Ming army, where the banner of the Qing Dynasty was still adhered to, but soon faced the Ming army from the north to the south and from the south to the north.

But on the contrary, he sent Nian Qianyao to lead 20,000 new troops, and 40,000 Shaanxi, Ganlu battalions began a murderous westward expedition, he not only directly abolished Ningxia Province, but also killed all those who dared to resist, and all the elites were left in the local tribes in the Central Plains. General Nian, who was known for his thirst for killing in history, killed the Hetao and the Hexi Corridor this time, and it can be said that the head was rolling, and the water of the Yellow River was dyed red, and it was estimated that at least 300,000 people died under his butcher's knife in later generations.

Immediately afterwards, he fought out of Jiayuguan.

However, in the face of the Dzungar tribes, Kang Mazi quickly changed his face, he claimed to his steppe brothers that it was because of the betrayal of the Ningxia Lian Army, which caused the defeat on the battlefield of Zhili, and it was because of this that he opened a killing spree, which was to avenge the death of the Great Khan.

Anyway, thousands of miles away, no one over there knows what happened on the battlefield in Guannei, and the Ningxia training army was all wiped out, and even their families were almost wiped out, so it wasn't what he said. After quickly gaining the trust of the steppe tribes, he used Nian Qianyao's army as a threat and his status as emperor as a legal basis, and made Tsewang Alabutan's seven-year-old son Geldan Tsering Dzungar Khan, but appointed a minister in Ili to help him run the country, as an uncle. The son born to Tushetu Khan and his daughter was also appointed as the new Tushetu Khan, and as for his daughter, that is, the famous Princess Heshuo Kejing in later generations, it was natural to listen to the government, and a minister in Kulun was also set up to assist.

The same is true for all other ministries.

Anyway, if the various departments don't listen, they can't do it, the young and middle-aged men are gone, and there is only a group of old and weak women and children who dare not listen.

Of course, how Kang Mazi plays has nothing to do with Yang Feng, because Tianjin Port and the canal are frozen, and at this time, the northern Ming army basically began to move into the state of cat winter, after all, this time the harvest is too big, and it must be digested well.

In addition to seizing the north of the Yellow River in one fell swoop, the scope of the Ming army's occupation area skyrocketed several times, but also harvested a full 60,000 prisoners of war coolies, just Yang Wangye wanted to open Tangshan's steel mill and coal mines, these free coolies also immediately had a place to use, under the bayonets of the Ming army ran to Fengrun, Qian'an and other places to mine and build roads, in addition to Qinhuangdao Port also needs to be expanded, in short, 60,000 people are not necessarily enough.

And what made Yang Feng even happier was that he won countless war horses.

As for other cattle, sheep and camels, this Yang Wang Ye didn't want it, let those people catch it themselves, but the horses had to be handed over to him, and in the end he harvested 200,000 horses, and they were all good horses, although they were a little weak after being sick for a while, but this one was fed more forage and raised. With these war horses, almost all of the Ming army has now become cavalry, although it is not really cavalry that can charge into battle, but it is enough to use as horse infantry, at least the mobile combat ability of the Ming army has soared.

Moreover, with so many horses, his army could not use them at all, and there were many of them that could be pulled, so that the transportation capacity was greatly increased, and those four-wheeled carriages did not have to worry about the lack of horses.

Of course, Yang Wangye reaped not only benefits, but also a lot of troubles he faced, for example, he had to appoint officials for the newly seized more than 100 counties, and there were also prefectures, prefectures, etc., some of which were directly abolished in the future, and all of them were changed to three levels: province, prefecture, and county. The name of the province is not used, since Emperor Taizu didn't like to use it back then, then of course Prince Yang also had to obey Emperor Taizu's will, the original provinces were changed to various provinces, the original province was revoked, the original Zhili Prefecture, and Sanzhou were all revoked, and they were directly streamlined into three levels: Dao, Fu, and County.

In this way, he needs to appoint fewer officials.

As for the appointment method of officials, this is the same as the original Beijing and Tianjin, the local selection of candidates, Yang Wangye personally assessed and appointed, this way he feels is also very good, at least those officials in Beijing and Tianjin are doing okay.

The work is not too cumbersome, and the real big project is earth gai and compulsory education.

The former is especially troublesome.

In the past, he could push those gentry to the hostile camp, and then directly play hard flat pushing, but this time those gentry don't play this evil, after all, Kang Mazi has never won the battle over the years, and every time they are disappointed, they are disappointed in the end, and they are desperate in the end.

"How about I buy yours?"

Yang Feng said to the big landowners from all over the country who were invited.

"Buy?"

A group of old landlords stared wide-eyed.

Yang Feng will not allow each household to have more than 1,000 acres of land This is his principle, these big landlords have understood, this is Yang Feng's bottom line, if anyone dares not to accept it, he will inevitably be stabbed, if he can really buy it, it is not a bad choice, but the question is that he has so much money?

"What is the current price of land?"

Yang Feng asked.

Now how can there be a quasi-price, the war is in chaos, coupled with a large number of bannermen and royal land has been vacant, and there are no more hardcore crops to eat for nothing, the rice production in the south is getting higher and higher, the price of grain has been lower, and the price of farmland is not accurate, and it has always fluctuated sharply.

"Before the war, a better piece of land was generally more than 2,000 yuan per acre."

An old landlord said tentatively.

"I couldn't do it accurately before the war, and now I definitely can't get to this price, since we are doing business now, we must do business in a way that we do, and the price must be reasonable, just give you a dollar at the average price according to what I said."

Yang Feng said.

A group of old landlords looked at each other, this price should be reasonable, Yang Feng's one dollar is one tael of silver, and a thousand dollars is also one tael of silver, but their land has a good time, two taels of silver and one acre belong to the good, and the bad ones can't be sold for one or two silvers. And this is the price before the war, the price of land after the war must be greatly reduced, after all, the common people do not need to spend money to buy land, and it does not cost any money to rent public land, it is nothing more than to pay that pitiful rent, and there is public land, it is difficult to make a fortune by land rent in the future, Yang Feng encourages industry and commerce, and it is also the most cost-effective choice to sell land for money to engage in industry and commerce.

"If you all have no opinion, then we will make a decision, I will arrange someone to be responsible for this work, your bottom line is a maximum of 1,000 mu per household, and the rest must be sold to the State Land Administration at the price of one dollar per acre, but there is one item, I will not pay with silver coins, and certainly not with gold."

Yang Feng smiled and took out a brand-new dragon dollar banknote and said, "I'll use this!" ”

A group of old landlords almost vomited blood.

Nima, it's so shameless, I said why are you so kind to spend money directly to buy our land, and it's a reasonable price of one or two silver per acre, and you're going to print a bunch of banknotes for us after a long time? You're a white wolf with empty gloves!

"Lord, can we exchange banknotes for silver dollars?"

An old landlord said tremblingly.

Yang Feng is the silver standard, dragon dollar banknotes and silver coins can be freely converted, in fact, government procurement, wages, and military salaries are all used in banknotes, but the banknotes can be exchanged for silver coins in the Imperial Bank anywhere, but there are also lazy exchanges, anyway, Yang Wangye is the boss of the Imperial Bank, I believe that he believes in this kind of banknotes, and the Imperial Bank has never been exchanged, and the people are also getting used to this kind of banknotes.

"If you give me face, then don't exchange it, you give me face, I will have other benefits for you in the future, such as partnering with you to engage in industry, providing you with all kinds of new technologies, if you don't give me face, then you go to exchange, the Imperial Bank will exchange it for you, but I need to remind you that in the future, we will inevitably have a time when the mountains and rivers will be high, and if I remember that you don't give me face, it will be difficult to say what is unpleasant."

Yang Feng said with a cruel smile.

Understood, if you are not afraid of death, you will change it, for the sake of credibility, the Imperial Bank will never refuse to exchange it for you, but one day let me grab the pigtails, don't blame me for killing you when the time comes. (To be continued.) )
