But before he arrived in Yulin, Hu Guang already knew about Zhao'an. But he didn't bother to care, and then he left it behind.

Because the matter of recruiting security is not to ask the heavenly army to take the initiative, and there is no need for any recruitment. The goal of calling the Heavenly Army is very clear, that is, to overthrow the Ming Dynasty at this stage and re-establish a new dynasty, a dynasty that Hu Guang can plan by himself.

Moreover, Hu Guang is also very busy at the moment, and he is busy fighting a big and severe battle. It is how to settle the people who have taken refuge in the heavenly army, and how to let them survive this winter and see a better future.

To tell the truth, although the Heavenly Army has always been short of food, and recently surrounded and suppressed all the wealth of the Eight Great Jin Merchants in Zhangjiakou, but this time there were too many prisoners, and there were nearly 50,000 in the school field in the city alone.

There are also 30,000 or 40,000 thieves and Ming troops outside the city, and at least half of them took the initiative to surrender to Yulin City, just to have a bite to eat.

Of all these captives, only a small number were the breadwinners of the family, and these people, who were all counting on him for their lives, unfortunately received money, food, and travel expenses, and left with a thousand thanks, with the reputation of calling the Heavenly Army.

In the foreseeable future, there will inevitably be many people who can't survive and will come to Yulin with their families. These people, called the heavenly army, are also to be placed.

In this way, even if the Heavenly Army is asked to snatch more materials from Jianyu, the Eight Great Jin Merchants and some local tyrants, shoddy gentry, and corrupt officials, it can't help but consume it like this.

After winning the Ming army, Hu Guang said to his eldest brother that the more difficult battles actually referred to this matter.

But fortunately, Hu Guang had an estimate of this before entering the customs. Moreover, the current administrative system called the Heavenly Army is also easy to use all the power in one place.

In the base area, rations have long been restricted, even if there is work. It can only be exchanged for the amount eaten by one person, and no excess will be given, let alone wasted.

The potato planting that began to be tested last year is really related to the cold-loving characteristics of this crop, and there is a relatively large harvest. Although this year's harvest is not a bumper harvest, it is no problem to exceed the average crop yield. Just to leave enough seeds for the coming year. Only a small portion can be taken out and eaten.

Compared to potatoes, crops such as sweet potatoes and corn are produced in a pitiful amount. But how much is always a supplement. According to the current situation, Hu Guang can estimate that as long as he survives this winter, when the harvest of the Hetao Plain is next year, the heavenly army will be able to recover and become richer year by year.

At this time, he had realized that although the end of the Ming Dynasty was the period of Xiaoice, the weather was colder than ever. The yield of crops will be low. But the large-scale starvation death caused by the end of the Ming Dynasty was actually a man-made disaster. If it was at the beginning of the dynasty, the emperor was capable, the officials were attentive, as long as they were serious about fighting drought and cold, so many people might die!

At present, the entire Hetao Plain, including the front and back sets, has become the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Army. However, the front set is not planned to be developed for the time being, because it is necessary to prevent the large-scale westward expedition of Jianyu.

But even if only the backset plain can be developed. That would also require a lot of manpower, especially the Han Chinese, who are good at cultivating the land. From this point of view. The manpower captured this time and the people who will take refuge in the future will greatly improve the problem of the vast land and sparse population of the territory controlled by the Heavenly Army.

With planning in advance and cement as a sharp weapon, the land movement has already been vigorously launched on the Hetao Plain. It is mainly to build winter houses, build water conservancy, reclaim farmland and so on.

All of these live. All of them are called the official of the Heavenly Army, that is, under the command of Ulan and others, manpower and material resources are concentrated, and they are being implemented in a planned manner.

In Yulin City, Hu Guang wanted to control things on the grassland remotely. We will continue to make appropriate adjustments to the implementation of various tasks, and at the same time, we will also study what policies should be adopted in the future when we occupy cities or areas with a large number of wealthy families.

In this context, how could Hu Guang care about Zhao'an. Anyway, they're going to come looking for themselves, so let them come and talk about it.

Besides, for the sake of his own future, Chen Qiyu did not dare to delay on the road, for fear that the heavenly army would take advantage of the victory to attack and occupy more places, and the negotiations would become very difficult at that time.

He hurried to Yan'an Mansion before he stopped to rest, and at the same time sent his close general, that is, the guerrilla Luo Shixun, to contact the Heavenly Army first.

During this waiting time, he was not idle, and he needed to deal with the big and small officials in Yan'an Mansion who were picking up the wind for him. After all, they are the head of the land, and if they want to get things done, they must be used.

The hard work paid off, and he really learned more about the Heavenly Army, at least roughly knowing the names of the most important leaders in the Heavenly Army, their origins and specific reasons for the rebellion, and so on.

For Chen Qiyu, he has learned the strength of the heavenly army, and he knows even more about shouting for the way of heaven and making decisions for the people under the sky.

Now that he knows this information, he has the bottom in his heart, it is nothing more than another Liangshan Bo Song Jiang.

Song Jiang was born in the Yamen and was a small official, selling his reputation and reputation, and selling it at the price of the Liangshanbo army; The brothers Hu Guang and Hu Kuan, the main leaders of the Heavenly Army, were born in a military household, and they are also famous, and they are also backed by the powerful Heavenly Army.

Chen Qiyu was thinking about beauty, and the guards reported that the guerrilla Luo Shixun had returned. He was stunned when he heard it, and it seemed that he came back a little quickly, could it be the conditions for the imperial court to recruit security that he revealed, and directly satisfied the two brothers Hu Guang, and they didn't have to turn over their hole cards, right?

Thinking so, he hurriedly asked the guards to take Luo Shixun to his study for a secret conversation.

Almost before and after the foot time, Luo Shixun entered the door. It's just that there is sweat on his forehead, obviously he is in a hurry to come back, his face is not very good-looking, and he bowed his head and said, "My lord, that's called the Heavenly Army...... Call the Heavenly Army ......"

He repeated it a few times, as if he was hesitant to say it or not, which made Chen Qiyu very anxious, and couldn't help but help him and said, "Is the Heavenly Army willing to accept Zhao'an?" ”

"It's not!" Luo Shixun heard the governor answer, and hurriedly replied: "The meaning of calling the leader of the Heavenly Army, saying that he is not available, if you have any ideas, let you go to see him by yourself, so as not to waste time by tossing and turning back and forth." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head and added: "Call Hu Guang, the leader of the Heavenly Army, and he guarantees the safety of your lord." ”

Chen Qiyu was stupid when he heard it, and listened to the meaning conveyed by Luo Shixun, as if Hu Guang was very shelf-oriented, could it be that he wanted to achieve a favorable situation in the negotiations?

But this is too unreliable, this kind of recruitment, even if you, the head of the thief, don't come to Yan'an Mansion, then there is no reason to let the three-sided governor of the imperial court come to the thief's den, at most find a middle position, and if you can ensure the safety of both parties, you can sit down and talk.
