Dengzhou Shuicheng was empty, but there were more people moving around, and a number of two- or three-masted ships were entering the port, and the frozen Liaohai Sea had restored the vitality of the most important military port in Liaohai. Liu Minyou received Chen Xin's urgent letter, and returned to Dengzhou only two years later than Chen Xin.

In the original history, Li Jiucheng's rebel army under Kong Youde conquered Shuicheng and captured a large number of ships. Later, with the trick of promising to be appeased, Geng Zhongming deceived Sun Yinglong, an old acquaintance of the Tianjin Naval Division, into having 2,000 people, and killed Sun Yinglong by drinking, and captured a group of big ships and sailors again, and the strength exceeded the Lushun Water Battalion led by Huang Long, and the rebels carried a total of more than 13,800 people when they went to sea, including more than 3,000 battalion soldiers, including more than 10 Hongyi cannons in the best condition, which made the water power of Liaohai change from one to the other.

Now Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng are fleeing in the wilderness, not only are the numbers far inferior to the original history, but they have not caught any Hongyi cannons, and there are no large numbers of sailors from Dengzhou and Tianjin, Chen Xin is not too worried about the changes in strength they bring.

Dengzhou was in a mess, the military order of the military department had come down, Lu Zhi was in charge of the water camp, and Wang Tingtry temporarily acted as the governor of Denglai to clean up the mess. Two years ago, I received a report that Kong Youde's department had gone to sea and might defect to Houjin. Both of them were scared and sweated, and sent the Dengzhou sailors out, some of them searched westward, and some of them intercepted along the Miaodao archipelago, and no trace of the rebels was found so far.

Before Chen Xin returned to Dengzhou, he first sent Tang Ma to send a letter to Lü Zhi and Wang Tingzhui, showing them the report letter of Geng Zhongming and Wang Bingzhong, Lü Zhi had been in Dengzhou for more than two years, Wang Tingchu had been the de facto governor of Denglai for half a year, and they all understood the importance of Lushun, if Lushun fell into the hands of Jiannu, Dengzhou should not think about peace, and he had to worry about the Tartar sneak attack when he slept at night. And even more afraid that the court will be held responsible, the emperor must be very unhappy with Denglai now, in case of fire, it is unknown whether he will suffer from the pond fish.

The two of them urgently reported to the Beijing Division. On the other hand, he ordered the Wendeng battalion to dispatch men and horses as soon as possible to prepare to take over Lushun. There was no trace of the rebels on the sea, indicating that the rebels had given up fleeing east to Phi Dao, so as to at least ensure that Dongjiang Town was not chaotic. As for Kong Youde's investment in Houjin, the two are ready to push Sun Yuanhua's head.

Chen Xin has made a lot of benefits in Denglai. Wang Tingqian and Lu Zhi both knew. However, the exact number is not known. Chen Xin didn't plan to swallow it alone, and was ready to give each of them 30,000 taels of hush money, but the original money bank in Dengzhou had been robbed, and he couldn't even get a silver ticket. Chen Xin only then remembered that he should seize the financial market, and took advantage of the fact that Wendeng and Dengzhou Sailors had not yet arrived, and hurriedly recalled Liu Minyou to Dengzhou.

Liu Minyou rode all the way and arrived in Dengzhou in two days, at this time the Wendeng battalion was stationed at the north gate except for the 2,000th headquarters. The rest of the people and horses are in the school field on the east side of the water city, this school field is far beyond the general school field, the circumference is about three miles, and there are a large number of houses, which used to be the family of the standard camp to live, but now they are all empty, and they just become the barracks of the Wendeng camp.

Liu Minyou dismounted at the camp gate, and the guards came up to routinely check the waist card and register, and Liu Minyou looked around. Many refugees were building camp walls, and Liu Minyou casually asked the guards: "Are these people recruited or hired?" ”

"Back to Mr. Liu's words, these are all people who work for rations, and most of them are local people in Dengzhou who have suffered from military disasters."

Liu Min nodded a little, "Has the tunhu from Wendeng arrived?" ”

"Yesterday rì arrived. There are tens of thousands of people, all living in the old rebel camps in Mishen Mountain and Wollongong. ”

After the guard answered, he returned the waist card to Liu Minyou, and after saluting, he let Liu Minyou enter the camp.

Mr. Bai, who was on duty, personally led the way and took Liu Minyou to the original standard camp general's mansion. In the past, Kong Youde and others were stationed here until they were transferred to aid Liao. Now most of the main barracks and standard barracks are scattered. Lu Zhi only had a small number of southern soldiers left in Shuicheng, and after the situation stabilized, he collected some scattered deserters and would be stationed in Shuiying in the future.

Went to the gate and checked the waist card again, the people from the Chinese army guard knew Liu Minyou, and let him in as a show, Liu Minyou arrived at the door of Chen Xin's official room, only the sea dog was standing guard, and he went directly into the house in the loud report of the sea dog.

When Chen Xin heard the shout, he hurriedly put a stack of paperwork under the table, looked up and smiled: "Minyou is here so soon, sit down and rest, I'll finish writing this thing." ”

"Write something so secret, and let the sea seals ventilate." Liu Minyou turned out a teacup by himself and lifted the kettle to make tea.

"The planning of the organization, how can there be a ventilated message from the sea dog, he has a loud voice."

Liu Min made tea, came over to take a look, it was really an organizational chart, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What position did Lord Chen arrange for the villain this time?" ”

Chen Xin smiled, "Praise the painting of the general, your deputy position to be able to command the capital of Shandong, in the imperial court, this is an empty title, but the position of the general, in our system, at least will not be lower than others, lest they Mr. Liu Mr. Liu's call, I don't know, I think it's a private school Mr. ”

Liu Min pouted, but he also felt that there was some truth in the fact that the name Mr. Liu was called from Weihai, when he had no official position and taught craftsmen and students to read and write, and has been used ever since.

Looking at Chen Xinna's paper, he wrote a series of names of the "Central Military Department, Civil Affairs Department, Tunpu Public Security, Finance Department, Industry and Commerce Department, Foreign Affairs Department, Military Orders Department, Military Affairs Department, Quartermaster Department, Mobilization Department, Intelligence Bureau, and Propaganda and Education Bureau" on the paper, and the other papers each wrote the responsibilities of this organization.

"So many institutions?"

"Yes, there were few people in the past, you were in charge of all civil affairs alone, you didn't have a formal position, and the following Xu Yuanhua, Wen Xianming, Mo Huaiwen, and Wang Erya were all unsettled, and now we have nearly 100,000 people, Dengzhou and Pingdu, at least 500,000 acres, this is a hundred tunbao, and it's time to adjust the organizational structure, I'll make a draft, and I'm going to leave for Lushun soon, and you will take time to change it during this time."

Liu Minyou didn't care about this at this time, and since he arrived in Dengzhou, he had been busy counting the captured and fields, and he was in a cold barracks or urn city, and his eyes were full of devastation and killing after the war, and the god jīng was already extremely tired.

At this time, in the heavily defended house, I suddenly felt very relaxed, and when I saw a chaise longue in the house, I went over and sat down, and pulled over a chair and put my feet on it to close my eyes and recuperate.

Chen Xin shook his head and smiled, and continued to write the institutional plan, Liu Minyou rested for a while, rubbed his forehead and raised his eyes to look at Chen Xin, who was still busy, and finally whispered: "You ...... Dengzhou this time."

"That's right. Just ask, how many silver taels did we seize in Dengzhou this time? I plan to set up the headquarters of Qianzhuang in Dengzhou, and set up branches in Linqing, Jinghai, and Yangzhou, and all localities must save some silver to start the ticket business. ”

Liu Minyou was interrupted by him. However, the seizure should also be reported to Chen Xin. He immediately recalled: "The gold is 79,000 taels, and the silver is more than 2,834,000 taels, and the back is 300 or 500 don't forget jì, and the silver is 20 or 20 kinds." Lao Cai's old fritters have a headache, and the real silver should be reduced by 100,000 to 200,000. The total amount of cloth is six or seven hundred thousand taels, and the jewelry classification has been completed, and the valuation has not yet come out. ”

Chen Xin smiled: "It's really a lot, so many cannons have been collected without sounding." Now you don't have to come to me to call me poor, I can't remember the hundreds of taels for you later. Choose the best jewelry, let's use this thing as a gift to Shangguan. ”

Liu Min said angrily: "You are so generous as a leader, I didn't ask you for overtime pay, and I didn't say that I would send some emeralds, if you really want to give me more than a few hundred taels of silver, these are all grades of canonized boxes, if I take a few hundred taels, the people of civil affairs say that everyone has to take a few hundred taels." You do the math. ”

"I'm afraid you can't rest yet, Xu Yuanhua has arrived with tens of thousands of tun households, and he has to divide the land with them, and now although the title deed is there, those officials still need to be identified. All the ordinary weapons seized in Dengzhou are given to you. Sent to those new arrivals. ”

Liu Minyou was surprised and said, "Why do you still need to send weapons? ”

"There will be some competition in those lands, and there will be swords and guns in the tunhuo......"

"You still don't think that the civil conflict is enough, once the weapons are issued to the tunhu, the violent conflict will get out of control. I heard that you will be the commander-in-chief of Denglai this time. If you want to run this place well, you have to solve the contradictions that have existed for many years. In the past, there was a fierce conflict between the Liao people and the natives of Dengzhou, but now we have brought many people from Wendeng, in fact, we are the horns of the former Liao people. ”

Chen Xin looked up at him and said with a smile: "That's okay, but the tunhu division still needs to establish a peasant and soldier company, and I will let Zhu Dai do his best to handle this matter, even if it is to prevent bandits." ”

"When I came just now, I saw that some local people were building the camp wall.

"Yes, most of them are people in the city, and they all suffered from the war this time, and they all survived by working in various shops. You know that people in the city only buy a few grains, but now that the business is withering, they have no income, and it is not good to feed them for nothing, so they arranged to do this. At least for half a year, they have problems with their livelihood, you see what the arrangement does. ”

Liu Min scratched his head, those "seized" women have not been arranged, and now there are many more citizens of Dengzhou. I definitely couldn't watch them starve to death, so I couldn't help rubbing my face irritably and said: "Build the road, first build the road from Dengzhou to Laiyang, and widen the road." The official roads in Fushan and Ninghai Prefecture are relatively flat, so they do not need to be repaired for the time being. ”

Chen Xin put down his pen and said: "Then it is better to expand the road to Laizhou, and in the future, our Tuntian center will be in Pingdu." ”

"Then expand the official road to Pingdu Prefecture first."

"If we can occupy 500,000 mu, each household of 10 mu can have 50,000 households, and more than 100,000 soldiers, we are 10,000 households."

"Great leaders treat you like dung." Liu Minyou replied casually, and then squinted and lay on the chair.

After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "After the restoration of Dengzhou, Wang Bingzhong looted in the city, why did you ......?"

Chen Xin didn't seem to hear clearly, stood up and interrupted: "The military discussion will start immediately, if you want to talk about going to Lushun, as well as the disposal of prisoners of war this time, let's talk about it when we come back."

"Let's go." Liu Minyou stood up, "When are you going to Lushun?" ”

"The water camp of the scar has arrived, and the big ship that the Dengzhou Navy Division has transferred back to transport troops will also come back, and I will take the infantry team to Lushun tomorrow, and the aftermath of Dengzhou will be entrusted to you, and you will also adjust the civil affairs part of this institutional plan."

Chen Xinla opened the door and was about to go out, Liu Minyou suddenly remembered something and asked him: "Sun Yuanhua has been escorted to Dengzhou, will he and Wang Zheng be beheaded?" ”

Chen Xin stopped at the door and was silent for a while before he said: "The people of Jinyi Wei will take them away soon, whether they will be beheaded or not is not up to me, it depends on the results of the old pavilions in the court." ”

Liu Min hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Have you ever seen him?" ”

Chen Xin still didn't turn around, shook his head slightly and said, "It's gone." Then he gently closed the door and went to the main hall.
