In April of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Wendeng's Tunbao was established in batches in various places, scattered all over the vast realm of Denglai.

Because of the improper land deeds, and the fact that there are many fields where bones and skins are separated, land grabs and group fights occur every day in various places. Geng Zhongming's standard camp was very busy, as long as Wendeng's entry reported that there was a smell of incense, they hurried to it, and after the fight, they went to the next place.

Ninghaizhou, Laiyang, Qixia, Penglai everywhere have a typical bullet suppression, Dengzhou mutiny just after the local officials are afraid of this group of Liao soldiers like tigers, just look at the fate of Sun Yuanhua to know that the rebels may still recruit an to live, but the magistrate has no way to live. And they have been in Dengzhou for a long time, and they are also very well-informed, seeing that Geng Zhongming and others are here to grab the land, and the land is from the Wendeng camp, that is to say, there is a more terrifying Chen Xin behind Geng Zhongming, he is already a stronger force than the governor in Denglai, who of these magistrates dares to accept those complaints.

Song Wenxian's Foreign Affairs Department was created in a very limited scale, but Song Wenxian has also brought out a few retinues in recent years, and they still know how to deal with local officials in Denglai. The parents and officials did not dare to provoke the Liao soldiers, but now they have the advantage of suppressing all kinds of door-to-door complaints and grievances.

Liu Minyou and Chen Xin's policy was to strike hard at the gentry, and the patriarch was to detain him indefinitely until he relented. Those who are not convinced have been investigating in the name of the Wenxiang Sect, knocking on other people with status in the clan, and achieving the effect of eliminating clan rights in fact.

Unfortunately, a few places that have become typical have been severely cracked down, and the leading gentry and patriarchs are either arrested or arrested, and those who dare not be taken into custody by the local officials are temporarily detained by the Liao soldiers, and the charges are all for colluding with the remnants of the rebel soldiers and the association of the Wenxiang Sect.

The local people can't defeat these Liao soldiers, and the Liao soldiers are unreasonable, and the leaders are not there, and the people are like a plate of scattered sand. Wendeng's tunpu took the opportunity to build houses and occupy an area, and all these tun households had knives and guns, and the people were no longer opponents, so they could only let them gain a firm foothold.

Then there were some eloquent people who went into the villages to recruit tun households, all the tenants who had originally cultivated their land were all absorbed, and they still planted in the same place, there were cultivated cattle in the tun fort for distribution, there was a unified organization of water conservancy construction, children over ten years old could read and write in the school, and the grain was bought and sold by the store, ensuring that it was sufficient. The only extra burden is what kind of military service and two kinds of labor service, military service is to participate in tunpu training, or may be transferred to war, and labor service is to repair water conservancy and nearby roads.

Compared with the heavy burden of the tenants, these conditions were very advantageous, and Wendeng has developed rapidly in recent years, and various legends have spread everywhere, and it is said that even the new homeless people can eat enough. Many of these natives also have relatives in Wendeng, or have defected to the past. All kinds of reputations are very good, and the tenants used to be exploited several times, and once they were put into Wendentunbao, they only had to bear the fixed grain tax and those few errands, and there was some pay for military service and road repair, which was not done in vain.

In the face of interests, their white spoon hostility gradually disappeared, except for a small number of diehards among the clan, most of the tenants were immediately grateful to Dade for joining Wendentunbao. And Tunpu temporarily let them still live in the original village, which is Mo Huaiwen's special request, that is, to use these mouths to promote the benefits of Tunpu with their neighbors.

Changes in the ownership of the means of production and tools are rapidly changing the rural conditions in several villages, and the cattle and cultivated land under the original clan control can now be obtained in the tunpu, and there is a strong army behind the tunpu. The change in the chain of interests is severing the original clan bonds.

When Tunpu began to recruit a group of temporary laborers to build roads, a monthly salary of three yuan of silver was offered, and ordinary households who did not join Tunpu enthusiastically signed up. The reports in the newspapers were very optimistic, believing that even if those patriarchs were released now, these households would never follow them to fight with Wendentunbao again.

This result made Liu Minyou very satisfied, Mo Huaiwen's strategy played a very good role, and only gave sweetness after coercion, which not only established the strong position of Wendeng Ying, but also achieved the purpose of easing the contradiction later. Tongguò absorbed tenants to resolve the contradiction over land, an important means of production, and then provided labor opportunities to eliminate the wariness of local yeoman farmers. The only thing that can't be resolved is the gentry and those Tu Emperor patriarchs, because the benefits that Wendeng has robbed come from them.

This method was pushed out one by one in other places, and Mo Huaiwen also went to Pingdu Prefecture and began to accept the most troublesome Pingdu Prefecture. There are a large number of fields here, more than 2.3 million mu of cultivated land in Pingdu Prefecture, and about 100,000 mu of abandoned land, which was replanted later in the Kangxi period.

After conquering Pingdu, the Wendeng camp captured the local officials, and changed the land of the gentry in the city to the Wendeng camp, most of which were ripe fields, and there were not a few of them who took refuge, which was not quite the same as the majority of tenants in Dengzhou, which would be the place where the contradictions were most intense. Because many of them are relatives and friends of the gentry, in fact, they only pay a small amount of affiliation fees every year, and some of them are separated from the bone and skin or rented separately, and the situation is more complicated than in Dengzhou.

Most of the tunpu forts set up in front of Pingdu Prefecture occupied less controversial land, and now they are starting to move those sensitive and excellent plots, and Mo Huaiwen's strategy is to never recognize the affiliation, only the title deed. Tenants who are actually farming can enter the tunpu. All the others were collected and cultivated by the Wendeng tun households.

There will be a round of fierce struggle in Pingdu Prefecture, and Mo Huaiwen has long been prepared for this, and the weapons stored in Wendeng will continue to be transported to Pingdu Prefecture to arm those ordinary tun households.

Liu Minyou stayed in Dengzhou, reorganized Qianzhuang and Sihai Commercial Bank, Chen Xin and he perfected some details, the army used pension to buy shares, but could not directly participate in the operation as a shareholder, the only equity representative of the military was Chen Xin, Dong Yu can act as an agent when entrusted.

Once commercial capital is combined with the interests of the army, Wendeng will no longer develop towards feudal land, but will turn to industry and commerce. It was the governor and judge of Linqing Prefecture who reminded Liu Min that came up with this solution.

The gentry, bureaucrats, and yaxing in various places have formed a kind of unfortunate monopoly, the gentry have the background and capital, and the yaxing controls the sales channels, and the core is the power of the local bureaucracy, and if Wendeng's industry and commerce want to develop, it must break this monopoly, and every time a new sphere of influence is seized, it will expand a large profit margin for industry and commerce.

In the past, the Four Seas Trading Company was only for the civilian administration and had nothing to do with the military, but now it is completely different. With the addition of the army's shares, the four seas commercial banks have a stake in the military, and there is no need for Chen Xin's ambitions to swell, as the army slowly realizes the benefits, they will take the initiative to expand outward.

Chen Xin, as the sole equity representative of the military, is to maintain the simplicity of the military and reduce the actual influence of the military on civil affairs, and Chen Xin is still the only interface between civil affairs and military politics. The military began to make relevant preparations in April, and corresponding penalty clauses were added to the military law, and the original heavy penalty was added to the part of canceling retirement pensions and equity income.

As the news spread, some nimble officers had already realized the benefits, and various theories circulated in the army. Wenden's high-level non

The military has been getting news one after another, and these people are more flexible, and the Four Seas Trading Company has shown good profitability last year, and they also hope to be able to take a stake. The two inductees had no choice but to include the civil affairs recruits, who did not have a pension and voluntarily joined the shares according to the size of their ranks.

The total share capital is scheduled to be 1 million taels, and the army's pension is currently only paid for one year, which is less than 100,000 taels; Chen Xin, on behalf of the Central Military Department, has advanced two more years, totaling 300,000 taels, to buy shares, and then increases the capital every year according to the total assets at that time. The original Sihai Trading Company bought 600,000 yuan in fixed assets, channels, cash and inventory, and the remaining 200,000 yuan included other non-military high-level and civil affairs.

Liu Minyou continued to refine the relevant terms of the joint-stock company, and did not incorporate the production link and money into the trading company, hoping to control the upstream and finance through guò, and control the fledgling joint-stock company. He and Chen Xin both know very well that capital is profit-seeking and expansive, and morality is not at all. Combined with a violent machine like the army, it is very likely that there will be a monster that cannot be controlled, and once this monster is released, what will it develop into, Liu Minyou has no bottom in his heart, so he can only position it as commercial capital first, leaving finance and production outside this system.

Zhou Laifu was the original head of the trading company, but now that the model has changed, Zhou Laifu's ability may not be able to control it, especially because his personality is too gentle. Chen Xin and Liu Min thought twice about transferring Wang Erya out of the cigarette factory and serving as the deputy head of the trading company.

Chen Xinben was busy with post-war training, and all units were summing up the experience of the Dengzhou and Lushun operations, adjusting the training syllabus, new weapons needed to be tested, and eight-pounder guns needed to be set up at the battalion level. With the setting of the three-level mobilization system, the soldiers need to strengthen the external mobility, the special baggage battalion needs to be expanded, and equipped with a larger load of carriages. The temporary baggage battalion needs to set up a frame unit, in which the officers are on standby, and the militia must be able to be dispatched immediately after the emergency mobilization, and the tunpu peasant and soldier system also needs to be improved. What is more important is that it is necessary to reformulate the battalion-level establishment in accordance with the experience summed up, so that each battalion and 1,000 headquarters will have their own combat capability, and they will be more flexible in command.

Everything is complicated, there are things to do, Wendeng's internal institutions and the adjustment of the entry affairs have no energy to complete for a while, and Zhang General Assembly sent information at the end of the month, Wendeng's discussion has been decided, and the battle to recover Jinzhou In the context of the Dalinghe fiasco, the effect was amplified by the imperial court, and the newspaper carried out a lot of publicity, and the effect of suppressing Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng was weakened, and Chongzhen did not want a civil strife to attract too much attention.

What Chen Xin cares about is that Wang Tingtry to report the position of going up to discuss merit, Wang Tingtry to set up a battalion of regular soldiers in Dengzhou Town, which is directly led by the general army of Dengzhou Town, with a number of 5,000 soldiers, and the total soldier is needless to say that Chen Xin; In addition, there are two associations, the left association is stationed in Jinzhou, and there is a deputy general soldier, that is, Zhu Guobing, the left association has a battalion of strange soldiers, reinforcements, and guerrillas, and the strange military camp is directly led by Zhu Guobin, and the guerrillas are set up separately for rescue, and the guerrillas are Zheng Sanhu, and the generals of the reinforcement battalion are Wang Ting's test, and Chen Xin did not even inquire about who it is. The Right Association is responsible for the defense of Denglai, and also has a deputy commander-in-chief, with a battalion of odd soldiers, reinforcements, and guerrillas, and the deputy commander-in-chief Lu Chuanzong is directly led and stationed in Zhencheng, and the general of the Wendeng reinforcement battalion is stationed in Wendeng, and the guerrilla Wang Changfu of the guerrilla battalion of the Right Association is stationed in Pingdu Prefecture. In addition, there is a garrison in the Jimo battalion, and it is Fan Shouye who reports.

Most of Dengzhou Town is Chen Xinwen's Deng's department, and there is no way to fight for other entries, including the entry horses in Shandong, none of them have a good record. The only thing he was worried about was that the imperial court would engage in checks and balances again, and denying a few positions would have some impact on his layout.

Geng Zhongming's department was not changed to a strange barracks, but continued to serve as a pacesetter battalion. Lü Zhi originally wanted to set up a separate strange barracks and put it under the jurisdiction of the prison army, but Wang Tingqian thought that Geng was guilty of meritorious service, and Bi Jing had killed and plundered in Dengzhou, once Geng Zhongming was promoted, the imperial history of the court and China might break out again, and Wang Tingqian and Lü Zhi would be very passive.

So Lu Zhi finally had to give up this plan, and explained to Geng Zhongming, telling Geng Zhongming not to be careful. Geng Zhongming is actually the most embarrassing character in Dengzhou, he belongs to the governor's standard camp, and his top boss is Wang Tingxian, but he is Lu Zhi who has taken refuge, plus Chen Xin, the de facto boss, he must carefully walk the tightrope between the three, and neither party dares to offend.

Chen Xin asked him to fight wherever he went, so he went to fight wherever he wanted, grabbed things and came back and divided them into four parts, one for each of the three big entries, and kept another one for himself, but Chen Xin confiscated it every time, and that share went into Geng Zhongming's private pocket.

In terms of treatment, it is still good, Geng Zhongming grabbed enough in the Dengzhou Rebellion, Wang Bingzhong also made a lot of money there, and he gave a lot of profits to several Shangguan when he returned to Dengzhou. For now, at least there is no problem in staying in the same position. Since he saw Wen Deng's combat strength, he felt that it was better to have a lower position, so as not to be used as a weight against Chen Xin by Wang Tingxuan or Lu Zhi, and only then did he suffer. I don't have any other thoughts in my heart, I just hope to live in Dengzhou in peace.

Fortunately, the three parties are relatively harmonious now, Geng Zhongming does not have to be in a dilemma in the middle, Chen Xin also asked him to prepare to set up cards in various places to collect taxes, although he only sent troops to guard the road, and the income of the money collected was not his, but Chen Xin promised to give him a share, and it seems that there will be a good life.

Wang Tingqian left a reinforcement battalion in Zuoxie, and installed one himself, his governor's standard battalion was divided into three battalions, and there were two battalions of staff generals vacant, and now there are fewer soldiers, and the original standard battalion soldiers either made a mess, or they were taken first by Lu Zhijie and included in the water camp. Wang Tingqian had to make up his mind from Dongjiang Town and other towns, and Geng Zhongming of the middle camp made it clear that it was Lu Zhi's entry, and he had to control the other two battalion heads in order to have the right to speak in Dengzhou. And Lu directly controlled the water camp and the middle camp, and did not fight for the left and right camps.

In the second half of the year, Chen Xinyi didn't have time to go back to see his son on the 1st, and Zhao Xiang didn't want to go to Dengzhou, which was in ruins, at this time, so he only asked Juxiang to come over to take care of Chen Xin's daily life.

On April 25, the appointment of the imperial court finally arrived in Dengzhou, and all the promotions reported by the royal court examination office were approved. Chen Xin finally swallowed the last result of the entire Dengzhou Campaign, according to the imperial court's custom, the actual guerrilla appointments above all need to go to the Beijing division to receive the document and the flag, and meet the emperor. Therefore, except for Zhu Guobin and Zheng Sanhu who were on the front line, including Geng Zhongming, who was guilty, they had to go to Beijing to go through the formalities, even if Chen Xinji was unwilling, he could only go this way. Wang Tingxuan also had to go to Beijing and go to the Ministry of Officials to go through his own formal procedures.

After receiving the appointment, in order to reduce the trouble of the trip to Beijing, Chen Xin told Mo Huaiwen not to make too drastic things in Pingdu Prefecture in the near future. After the fourth death, he waited for Song Wenxian, who rushed back from Lushun, Chen Xin and Wang Tingtry discussed, and decided to go to Yaojin by land this time, so that the speed was more controllable, accompanied by Geng Zhongming, Lu Chuanzong, Dai Zhenggang and Wang Changfu. The group entered under the escort of thirty Chinese army guards and set off for Beijing.
