Let's say that the reclamation movement is in full swing here, and Li Jiancheng, as the lord of the world, is reading a piece of Liaodong information handed over by Wang An in the palace.

The March of the Apocalypse is a turning point in the Ming Dynasty, a turning point in a straight line!

In the original history, on the fifth day of the first month of March in the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), the city of Hangzhou was fired, burning for a day and night, burning more than 6,100 homes, and 35 men and women died. In August, it was set on fire again, burning more than 10,000 homes.

On March 19, the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Nurhachi led the Houjin army to attack Liaoyang after capturing Shenyang.

On September 17 of the same year, Yongning, Sichuan, Gulin Prefecture, extravagant Chongming anti-Chongqing, built the name of Daliang, and set up five prime ministers.

In September of the same autumn, the Yellow River broke in the area of Lingbi and Huangpu. On December 12, Donglin director Wang Huazhen Guangning was defeated.

and so on, this series has led to the tragedy of this carpenter emperor, it is simply that the sky does not hurt and does not love people! is such a Ming Dynasty, a country, Li Jiancheng has to struggle in this!

It is precisely because of these reasons that Li Jiancheng wants to leave a trace of vitality for the Ming Dynasty, and wants to give up Shenyang, Liaoyang and other places, and withdraw the army from the useless consumption of these cities! The Ming Dynasty is too weak, and those border troops are not necessarily very useful, but compared to the inland troops, they are definitely the strongest vitality of the Ming Dynasty!

Li Jiancheng has been here for less than half a year, and the changes he has made have not shown their impact at all, how can he fight against Houjin?

Most of the information Li Jiancheng read was from Liaodong, and Liaodong was going to carry out a large-scale retreat in Li Jiancheng's vision, and all his requests for 3 million mu of farmland to be reclaimed were also for the purpose of reconciling the people who had been evacuated from the front. These three million acres. It is best to open farmland that can be planted. This will allow him to feed more people. In fact, the reclamation work will not end in a month, but will continue until the onset of winter or a few years, until there is no land left in the whole of North China to develop, and these three million acres are just to catch up with the sowing period!

Li Jiancheng put down all the information and said to Wang An: "The situation in Liaodong has entered the second stage of planning. Ordered Wei Chao and Li Jinzhong to enter the second part of their tracking task to prepare for the end, and Luo Sigong's special investigation bureau to participate in the public security management pretending not to be too serious, don't put all your efforts into it. The time to close the net is the first shot in the Liaodong battlefield, and this time I want to make a big profit! ”

Wang An replied respectfully: "Yes! ”

In the Ming Dynasty, there was an ancestral motto of not ceding land. Li Jiancheng's practice of giving up territory is like cutting land, and Sun Chengzhong, who presided over this, was hung up and killed. But if Li Jiancheng didn't have a countermeasure, how could he completely harm Sun Chengzhong, if that was the case, he might as well let Yuan Yingtai go!

And the way to save Sun Chengzhong fell on Xu Xianchun, Xu Xianchun went to Liaodong with a mission, that is, to investigate all the merchants and generals in Liaodong who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and Li Jiancheng also gave him a list. Although most of the people on this list are in Shanxi, their trade routes are all over Liaodong, and Xu Xianchun's task is to collect evidence!

In order to catch up with all the plans, Li Jiancheng also sent him a special propaganda unit, which began to be in Shenyang, Liaoyang and other places as soon as it arrived. Publicize the Houjin troops like how brutal the devils were back then. All kinds of crimes, all kinds of brutality, everything is done, what eat children. Burn, kill, plunder, and commit adultery! These are trivial, drizzle. On the one hand, the propaganda troops engaged in propaganda, and Sun Chengzhong even engaged in a bigger battle and began to blockade the city. Throughout February, Shenyang, Liaoyang, and other places lived in such an atmosphere of terror.

The effect of this is extreme, on the one hand, the people will resist in repression, and on the other hand, some people will never dare to resist if they do not resist in the first place, so that such a part of the population will be more obedient and cooperate with the aggressor because of fear. What he Li Jiancheng has to do is to choose to eliminate, take away those who are willing to resist, and leave those who cannot resist behind. That's how the Eighth Route Army fought all the way back then, absorbing the strong fighting along the way, leaving the weak who didn't resist, and the strongest coming back to rule the weak, I have to say that this is a method, both for the enemy and for themselves.

However, what such a method brings to the country and society is not necessarily all good, and the way of the world is yin and yang. The way of Confucianism is also the essence, although the mean is ordinary, but it is better to be adjustable, and the extreme yin and yang are like the addition of positive and negative numbers to get zero and negative numbers, and these two choices are greater than positive numbers. The comprehensive quality of a country lies in people, a weak person can lead a group of people to be weak, and a brave person may not necessarily lead a group of people to be brave. Because people will choose things that are easy and cheap, a negative number will not only eliminate a positive number, but also its value.

In the city of Shenyang, when Sun Chengzhong proposed to let the surrounding peasants and the people in the city retreat to the rear, the Shenyang generals were shocked, they didn't understand!

Sun Chengzhong explained: "After I and His Majesty and other parties, it is expected that Jiannu will not be more than March. This time is different from the past, and it is likely that Nurhachi is there in person, so I proposed that the people around the city be evacuated backwards, and then His Majesty will send people to take care of these people, distribute farm tools and farm animals, etc., so that the people can start a new life. This is to prevent Jiannu from taking my Ming people hostage, and secondly, to avoid unnecessary casualties! ”

Sun Chengzhong's explanation made everyone noncommittal, but He Shixian continued: "I understand what the adults said, then, even if it is so, wouldn't it be good to evacuate the people of Zhoucheng?" Why do you want to evacuate the people of the city from the city? ”

Sun Chengzhong listened and replied: "There are two reasons for this, the first is to prepare for the worst~!" The second reason is that this place will become a battlefield, which is not conducive to the life of the people in the city, and the people will not be able to cultivate or grow food. ”

The people are like this, not being able to farm is a very fatal blow to many people, Jiannu came to attack in March, if this rod beats for a few months, it will definitely miss the cultivation time, how do you make many poor people live?

Chen Ce listened and replied: "What Mr. Sun said is also reasonable, but Mr. Sun let the people in the two major cities of Shenyang and Liaoyang retreat!" These cities are all historical cities, and if there are not a million but 500,000 people in the city, if all these people are withdrawn, then they must be withdrawn there! Is Your Majesty really ready? ”

"Wait, what do you mean, you mean, we can't hold this city?" He Shixian turned to Chen Ce and said dissatisfied.

Chen Ce rolled his eyes and said, "Please figure out whether it's good or not, what benefits can the city you keep or not bring to the lives of the people?" The people can't farm anymore and can't make a living, so what's the use of your city being well defended! Isn't it good to have a plan that has been mentioned by Lord Liu? It's better for the people to go to the rear to farm than to dry up here! ”

He Shixian's face turned red when he heard his words, and he said, "I ask to take the initiative to repel Jiannu!" ”

"Hah!" Chen Ce was like listening to the most idiotic words, he said: "If you have the ability, you can go, and you can go up the city gate with a horse outside!" ”

The discord between these two people seems to be indeed a certainty, He Shixian was so angry that he really went to do it, it seems that he also rushed into the encirclement of Nurhachi in this way, at this time Sun Chengzhong played a round and said: "Don't argue between the two, General He, there is indeed a gap between my Ming army and the Houjin army, and now His Majesty's intention is also to temporarily avoid it, and my martial arts are fighting with it." And the restoration of martial arts depends on the generals! ‘
