Chapter 364: It Must Be Stable

Zheng Xunrui boldly predicted that after Huang Taiji withdrew his troops from Korea, he would never attack Fuzhou and other places, and he was most worried about Shenyang and Liaodong, so he was ready to leave Fuzhou and Lushun and return to Huai'an.

Zheng Xunrui also thought that he could return to Huainan to spend the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it was also a comfort to be able to accompany his family during the Lantern Festival.

It's a pity that Zheng Xunrui's plan couldn't be realized at all, and the development of things was completely beyond his expectations.

The battle of Yongning was quickly known by the people around him, especially the Zheng family's army captured Azig, the king of Wuying County in Houjin, which has become major news, and it quickly spread from Lushun to Fuzhou and other places, and even Gaizhou and other places knew about it.

In fact, it is unlikely that ordinary people will know these things, the reason why the news of the Jin Tartars spread after the defeat of the Zheng Jiajun was a decision made by Zheng Xunrui, which played an important role, that is, to let some officials of the state and county yamen continue to do things, these officials are all Han Chinese, after they were captured, they originally thought that there was no way to live, and after surrendering, the Jin Tartars were still doing things in the official mansion, and they would definitely be killed, but it was unthinkable that they were not punished, but they could continue to do things in the official mansion, Naturally, these people are trying their best to behave better in order to atone for their sins.

The news that the Zheng army had defeated the Houjin Tartars and was to be stationed for a long time in the recovered Lushun, Jinzhou, Xinhui, Fuzhou, Yongning, and Xuancheng was quickly spread by these officials.

The people are most concerned about whether they can survive and live a peaceful life, when the Houjin Tartars ruled these places, they did not live a normal life, and often encountered bullying, their own women generally did not dare to go out, did not dare to go to the county seat and the state town, if they were favored by the Houjin Tartar, then don't think about being able to go home, and the people went to the county and the state to do small business, and they were always facing the fate of bankruptcy. In the city, the Manchurians don't treat the Han people as human beings at all, and they want to fight and kill casually, let alone rob things.

The people are very nostalgic for the days of the previous years. Although the government has also done some angry things, it is rare to snatch women and property at will, and the government also decides the grievances of the people.

After the army of the imperial court recovered these places, some of the brave people. Trembling to the county or state city to see, by the way to do some small business, to maintain the life of the family, and during the Spring Festival, visiting relatives and friends is indispensable, always because the imperial army and the Houjin Tartars fight, the people will not live.

The appearance of the county seat and the state town has not changed, but the common people have found that they are walking on the streets of the city, and no one dares to beat and scold them casually. Moreover, the sergeants who maintained order in the city were very polite to them.

What the people did not expect even more was that from the tenth day of the first lunar month, the officials of the prefecture and county yamen came to the villages and towns, saying that they wanted to count whether there were any households below that had run out of food, and if the situation was true, the government must provide relief to these people, and the people could not starve to death because of lack of food.

As soon as such news spread, the people found that the change had really appeared.

The sergeants guarding the gates no longer collect money, nor do they stare at the people as they come and go like hungry wolves.

Even the people saw it. Some of the women in the city also dared to walk on the streets, which was something that was unimaginable before, and all this shows that after the army of the imperial court recovered these places. Huge changes have emerged.

Some scholars in the state and county towns began to find the government one after another, they wanted to see the adults of the imperial court, they had not seen the adults of the imperial court for a long time, and they wanted to hear words that reassured them.

Knowing that the adults from the imperial court were in Jinzhou, many people went to Jinzhou. Even the city has people coming.

Under such circumstances, Zheng Xunrui thought about leaving here immediately, the possibility was not very high, and he thought about the plan to return to Huai'an for the Lantern Festival, and it was in vain.

The stability of places from Lushun to Fuzhou is a top priority, and this is also what Zheng Xunrui is concerned about.

The governor and magistrate of the county, Zheng Xunrui has already considered the candidates, and transferred some from the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, his plan is to let Gu Menglin serve as the governor of Fuzhou and Cao Chi to serve as the governor of Jinzhou.

The Ministry of Officials will not refuse such a recommendation, after all, Fuzhou and Jinzhou and other places, similar to Liaodong, are very dangerous places, and they may encounter the attack of the Houjin Tartars at any time, and no one wants to send people from the imperial court.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Zheng Xunrui met many gentry and wealthy families who came to visit in Jinzhou Prefecture.

Most of these people are well-known scholars, and most of them have not shaved their hair.

When I saw Zheng Xunrui, these people were crying bitterly, and the days when they were ruled by the Houjin Tartars were humiliating for them, and they were unbearable years, and now the adults of the imperial court are here, and they are the Hubu Shangshu, the right capital Yushi, and the governor of Caoyun, these people feel that the time has come to turn over.

If you want to stabilize Fuzhou and Lushun and other places, Zheng Xunrui must rely on these gentry and wealthy households, in the villages and towns, including the county seat, these people's power is very great, they can stabilize the place, and the people listen to them.

Therefore, Zheng Xunrui specially set up a banquet in the state government to entertain these gentry and wealthy households.

The effect of this move was very good, these people were received by the governor, and regarded this as a great honor, and the imperial army stationed in Yongning, Fuzhou, Jinzhou and Lushun and other places, the momentum displayed, so that these gentry and rich families were more at ease, they got the governor's personal promise that the imperial army must be stationed here, as long as the Houjin Tartars dare to offend, then they will be ruthlessly attacked.

It was not a long time for Zheng Jiajun to recover Fuzhou and other places, it should be said that in such a short period of time, it was almost an impossible task to completely stabilize this large area, and it was impossible to imagine that in just a few days, there were such huge changes, and the gentry and wealthy families made a special trip to visit, and they wept bitterly, showing real emotions, which was a sense of belonging to the imperial court.

Zheng Xunrui quickly made a decision to stay for a while, grasp such a good atmosphere, and strive to stabilize Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Yongning, Lushun, Xinhui and Xuancheng.

In this operation, the Zheng family army captured a lot of grain, grass, war horses and other materials, after all, the Zheng family army fought sneak attacks and blitzkriegs, and the Houjin Tartars had no time to prepare.

In the Houjin Tartar military camps in Lushun, Jinzhou and Fuzhou, a mountain of grain was found, as well as a large amount of money, which zero Zheng Xunrui's unusual anger, the Houjin Tartars did not have military salaries, and all the sources relied on the capture of battles, so the Houjin Tartars stationed in these places formed a habit of plundering, they robbed the people's wealth in large quantities, and did not care about the life and death of the people.

Therefore, the first thing Zheng Xunrui did was to ask officials at all levels to count the situation of the people, and those who had run out of food at home must be rescued.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the first batch of rescued people really received food.

This news was like a bomb, causing huge repercussions in various places.

Zheng Xunrui would not have thought that he was just doing things according to normal requirements, and it was precisely because of such measures that in the future, there was a huge shock, and the Han people in Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou, and even Liaoyang and Anshan came in the direction of Fuzhou with their families, so that the population of Fuzhou and other places increased in a large amount of time in a short period of time, and it was too late to stop it after Houjin Tatars discovered these problems.

There were also many Koreans who rushed to Fuzhou and other places, and their lives were even more miserable in the places ruled by the Houjin Tatars, and their status was not as good as that of the Han Chinese.

Of course, there were also some problems in Fuzhou and other places, the Manchus who had not had time to evacuate were insulted and even attacked, these Manchus used to show off their might, but now they dare not speak up at all, their wealth has been plundered, and angry people rush into their homes and loot their belongings.

Most of the local governments turned a blind eye to the handling of such matters, and it was not until General Yang He, who was stationed here, said that he could not bully the Manchurians, and this situation slowly subsided.

Many Manchus chose to leave, and Yang He also did not stop them, allowing these Manchus to leave, but whether these Manchus would be attacked on the road, Yang He would not care so much.

Yang He gave such an order, which was also Zheng Xunrui's request.

Zheng Xunrui didn't ask for it at first after knowing these things, he knew that there was too much pent-up anger in the hearts of the people, and he had to find a gap to break out, but after seeing that the looting situation was getting more and more serious, he asked Yang He to stop these behaviors, and those Manchu people who oppressed the Han people all year round should also pay some price.

Until the twenty-fifth day of the first month, in less than a month, Lushun to Fuzhou and other places were completely stabilized, and Yang He's recruitment of sergeants was also fully rolled out, and the people who signed up were unusually enthusiastic, so that Yang He and others were a little too busy.

Zheng Xunrui also received information that Huang Taiji led the army to leave Korea and quickly evacuate in the direction of Shenyang.

At this time, Zheng Xunrui was relieved and was ready to go back to Huai'an, Caoyun was about to start preparations, and the first gang of Caoyun in March was about to start, and it was time to go back and prepare.

Of the 25,000 Zheng soldiers who set out from Huai'an Mansion, more than 5,000 were killed, and the remaining 20,000 people, of which 10,000 were stationed in Lushun to Fuzhou and other places, 5,000 were stationed in Penglai, and the remaining 5,000 followed Zheng Xunrui back to Huai'an.

Yang He was stationed in Lushun, Wang Yuncheng was stationed in Penglai, and two deputy commanders of the Zheng family army commanded the fifteen-thousand-strong army.

Yang He's task of recruiting sergeants also changed, and with Zheng Xunrui's consent, he recruited 15,000 soldiers in Dengzhou and Fuzhou, so that the number of Zheng soldiers stationed in Penglai and Fuzhou reached 30,000, so that he could completely control this large area, and even launch an attack on Houjin Tatar of varying scales.
