On the third day of the ninth month, Dayong agreed to marry more than 8,000 homeless women in the city to Tuntian Qingzhuang, of course, on the premise that the women were willing. This policy was unanimously supported by the young people of Tuntian, of course, compared to the huge group wedding of the Jinzhou army, they had no wedding at all.

There were no matchmakers, no bride prices, no firecrackers, no banquets, just silent anticipation, everything was very low-key, except for the daily carriages loaded with women carrying pitiful clothes to the guards, there was no major movement. But there is no doubt that this is a good government, and the impact of great good governance is no less than that of the brave resettlement of the victims.

Under the urging of Dayong, everything in Dengzhou City has gradually been put on track, and although the population is not large, the city has somewhat regained some vitality. Those who had done small business in the past also appeared in the streets, and there were also merchants from other places who heard that Dengzhou had settled down and had the courage to come here to do business. Although most of the original shops in the market are still closed, there are still a few shops that have reopened with the support of the government.

The temporary Dengzhou government gave Dayong a lot of help, and the more Dayong appreciated Song Guanglan and them, the more he had sent people to Beijing to inquire about the imperial court's handling of these demos.

There are a lot of real estate in the city, Dengzhou is the Yamen station of the governor of Denglai, and it is an important military town, when the rebellion did not start, Dengzhou City is the largest city on the coast of Shandong, when Sun Yuanhua was the governor, there were more than 40,000 people in the garrison alone, and there would be fewer shops in the city?

After inspecting the two streets accompanied by Song Guanglan and them, Dayong became more and more reluctant to give up Dengzhou, as long as the population increased, this city was undoubtedly a treasure trove of the Jinzhou army. Not to mention anything else, just the sale and rental of those shops can provide Dayong with a considerable military salary. And the city wall of Dengzhou is really tall, I am afraid that it can be compared with the provincial capitals of other provinces, and this strong city as a stable base is not stronger than the dangerous place of Jinzhou.

What can be done to get the imperial court to take Dengzhou into their own hands? I don't know when, Dayong suddenly had this idea in his head that shouldn't have been

In view of the fact that both parents died in the war and there were too many orphans without relatives and no reason, Dayong ordered Dengzhou to establish an orphanage. Other orphan care centers in the Ming Dynasty are generally in the temple, occasionally there are large families who donate their houses for the orphans to live, whether it is a temple or other places, the local government will hire teachers to teach these orphans to teach them to read and write, if some of the orphans can be admitted to the show, it is a meritorious performance of the local official's education, if you can take the exam to raise people or even Jinshi and younger brothers, then the reputation of this magistrate can be famous all over the world, not only the career is flat, but the history should also be famous, At worst, it will leave a strong ink mark on the local chronicles.

Song Guanglan and others are also ready to ask for someone to teach these hundreds of orphans according to the custom, and Dayong also agreed, his current struggle is for the next generation of the Ming Dynasty, so that children can read and write must be a great merit. However, he transferred a few wolf cavalry who were injured and could not ride horses to the orphanage to be instructors for the children, in addition to some military training in the army, but also to teach them the use of firearms, and in the future, if possible, they can also carry out riding training.

These ideas are all thought of by Dayong temporarily, just do what he says, the rules and regulations are not complete, Dayong is not in a hurry, things are done first, and it is not impossible to set the system in the future.

Song Guanglan thought that Dayong was going to train these orphans to become his cronies, so they had no objection to military training for orphans.

People are brave, food is also brave, everything is from the Jinzhou army, and it has nothing to do with them, so what's the matter

The imperial court has not yet sent people to receive Dengzhou, and there is no envoy from the army to come, and the great victory of Jinzhou and the great achievement of Denglai pacification have not been skimmed. Dayong is not in a hurry, and it is in his mood for the court to delay this matter for a few more months. However, he couldn't be ignorant of the movements of the Ludao Imperial Court, so he asked Jiang Wanli to ask him for the relevant Tang Bao sent to Laizhou, so that he could learn about the domestic situation and the affairs of the court from the Tang Bao.

Supervisor Zhu Dadian has returned to Jinan to continue to be his governor of Shandong, because Gao Qiqian is the biggest beneficiary of the Dirty Alliance, and Zhu Dadian is the governor of Shandong and Gao Qiqian recommended it to the Son of Heaven, so Zhu Dadian and Dayong have maintained a kind of friendliness, of course, this friendship is based on the real money and military merits presented by Dayong, otherwise Governor Zhu may not be facing a small Jinzhou general in his opinion.

Out of consideration for long-term cooperation and winning over this capable army, Zhu Dadian would regularly send people to Dengzhou to report some news after returning to Jinan, so as to make it as convenient as possible for Shi Dayong. For this, Dayong is also grateful, as for the Lu prefect who died in the hands of Li Dashan, both sides wisely did not mention it.

It is impossible for Shandong to know how Ludao Luxiong and the 500 garrison soldiers and horses died, and there is no need for any evidence, just if the Jinzhou army can suddenly go around to Pingdu and then occupy Dengzhou, we can know what happened to Ludao - Changyi is the only way to Pingdu.

In order to explain this "misunderstanding", Dayong once again offered 10,000 taels of silver to Governor Zhu.

People can't be resurrected after death, so Governor Zhu naturally won't make decisions for the Lu Governor's Mansion. Although it is not as good as a general who is only from the third grade, there is no doubt that the Jinzhou Army is indeed a strong army. At present, there are thieves in the northwest, Huguang, and the Central Plains, and no one dares to guarantee whether the thieves will come to Shandong. At present, Shandong's soldiers who can fight are barely added to a single one, but there are only 5,000 people, in case tens of thousands of thieves come at once, Shandong is really hanging, and then it will definitely ask the court for reinforcements.

Zhu Dadian still understands the principle of seeking strength and not weakness, if the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court are not as good as his Lu soldiers, it will be a real disaster for Shandong, and the so-called "thieves are like tigers, and guest soldiers are like wolves" did not come out of thin air. If you want to come, you will come to the strongest, and I heard that the military discipline of Jinzhou is good, so it is very necessary to marry Shi Dayong.

Zhu Dadian is not a pedantic person, and in his early years, he fought in Fujian with the Hongmao Domain, and under the trade-off between the two, he naturally knew what choice Lu Dao made. On the side of the Lu Governor's Mansion, report to the court that a thief had entered the country, and he would fight the thief army and die, and his family would be indispensable to the bereavement he deserved, so what was wrong with it. As for the dead garrison Peng Tai and the five hundred soldiers, Lord Zhu was in no good mood to fight for them

Every time Dayong took out silver to others, Jiang Wanli would feel pain, 10,000 taels was not a small amount, and the Son of Heaven rewarded the Songshan Army with hundreds of levels of beheading that day, but it was only 10,000 taels of silver, which was still allocated from the inside. But millions of taels of silver have been released, does it make sense to care about these ten thousand taels?

The things that should be done were almost explained, and Dayong no longer cared about the affairs of Dengzhou City, and plunged into the water city to expand the army.

The 15,000 soldiers in the original rebel army must all be integrated into the Jinzhou army, and no one can let them leave the camp, because these people are basically stained with human blood, and they have done a lot of things to rob their homes and houses, and the consequence of letting them leave the barracks will only be one, that is, the thief will continue to be a bandit.

It is better for them to be bandits and slash their own countrymen with swords, than to let them follow them and die on the battlefield.
