Jincheng, although it is called 'city', but in Zhao Hongyu's eyes, it is basically equivalent to the existence of Northeast Tunzi in another time and space.

It may be because of the founding and rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, as well as the invasion from time to time, so there are not many Ming people left here in Jincheng.

Before he came, Zhao Hongyu got a data from Sun Chuanting, saying that the people here in Jincheng are only 1,500 households.

According to the calculation of a family of five, it is just more than 7,000 people.

But when Zhao Hongyu came to Jincheng, he found that the so-called 1,500 households also had a lot of moisture.

Can a few sparse adobe houses be able to accommodate 1,500 households?

What a joke!

Oh my God, Zhu Shangwu used this place as collateral, it seems that he was really cheated.

Zhao Hongyu looked at the adobe house not far away, as well as the dilapidated adobe city wall, and the corners of his eyes twitched for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hongyu threw this annoying thought out of his mind.

Tunzi is Tunzi, anyway, a radius of 100 miles is temporarily considered our master, isn't it?

Before Zhu Shangwu paid off the arrears, it was under the control of Lao Tzu.

"My lord, what about the people who are following behind our army?"

At this time, Jay Chou leaned over and asked.

Yes, arrogantly came all the way from Datong, Zhao Hongyu couldn't see the people of Daming who were already homeless because of the invasion of Houjin in Liaodong, so he gave them a batch of food.

But this led directly to the consequence that these people simply followed the army in order to have enough to eat.

Every time, Zhao Hongyu would relent, and then distribute food.

This has made more and more people.

Although Sun Chuanting and Yang Fengyi suggested several times that Zhao Hongyu should not pay attention to these people.

However, Zhao Hongyu did not take their advice.

In fact, it's not that Sun Chuanting and Yang Fengyi don't want to help these Ming people, it's just that they consider that these people will get sweet. Once greed breeds, it will not be good to attack the army.

Who can guarantee that such a thing will not happen?

That's why they made such a suggestion.

It's just that Zhao Hongyu didn't adopt it.

In this way, Zhao Hongyu and the others went all the way, and there were more and more people following behind the army.

Even when they came to Jincheng, those people did not leave.

After all, there is food to eat with these people, isn't it?

"Lao Tzu is not a benevolent church, so it is impossible to always give them food and drink unconditionally. But since these people followed us to Jincheng, I have an idea here. ”

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and stroked his chin and said to Jay Chou.

"Oh, what is your highness's arrangement?"

Jay Chou hurriedly asked.

Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Yes, Jincheng is vast and sparsely populated. I feel like placing these people here. It's good to let them open up the wasteland. This can be regarded as giving them a livelihood, so that they will not be idle every day. Besides, this place has been used as a mortgage by Zhu Shangwu, so he can't recover it in a short time. During this period, we have to develop Jincheng and get the most benefits, right? ”

Oh, it turns out that Your Highness is here to let those people reclaim the wasteland.

Jay Chou knew what Zhao Hongyu meant.

That's a good thing.

In fact, Jay Chou has no opinion on providing food to those Ming people, but he is just a little complaining about the unconditional supply.

It's okay to do this for a short time, but it won't work for a long time.

To paraphrase what Zhao Hongyu just said, they are not open a good church.

So. The most correct way to find a livelihood for these people so that they can be self-reliant.

Moreover, Jincheng is in ruins, and continues to fill the population and reclaim the land.

Plus if Jincheng wants to develop. It also takes a lot of manpower to build.

Therefore, these people who are following the rear of the army can be used.

Thinking of these, Jay Chou agreed quite with Zhao Hongyu's plan.

"You can talk to Sun Chuanting in a moment. Tell him what I mean. I think Sun Chuanting will not object to such an arrangement, after all, this is also to find a way for those people to live. And Jincheng does need to build more houses and strengthen the city wall here. ”

Speaking of which. Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and pointed to the dilapidated city wall built with black soil as raw materials not far away, and said to Jay Chou: "Look at the city wall, it is only one meter five high, and there are still many places that have collapsed, if we don't rebuild it, then how can we use it to resist Houjin." ”

Yes, the capital of Houjin is more than 800 miles away from Jincheng.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu had to guard against Houjin.

Moreover, when they came to Jincheng, they would inevitably become a big problem for Houjin.

But all those nobles of Houjin who are not brain-dead can see this.

Under such circumstances, it became inevitable that Houjin would send troops to deal with them.

Of course, Jin Yuanqi was greatly injured after the first war of Jingshi.

In the short term, it is impossible to make trouble for yourself.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu must seize the incident and handle this matter well during this period.

As long as he has a house and a strong city defense, then he can rest assured to develop the minerals near Jincheng, or when Houjin sends troops, he can deal with them freely.

"Well, this city defense is not very good. It's time to rebuild it, but how are you going to build it, Your Highness? ”

Jay Chou nodded, and then asked.

"Use bricks, build a wall with bricks, and only then will it be strong enough."

Zhao Hongyu responded.

Considering that Zhao Hongyu has a plug-in, Jay Chou has no objection to this.

"Then the subordinates will go to Sun Chuanting to discuss, by the way, count the number of those people, and then report back to His Highness so that His Highness can have a number."

Zhao Hongyu nodded, and then Jay Chou turned his horse's head and left.

After Jay Chou left, Zhao Hongyu ordered the adjutant to start setting up tents and preparing for rest.

Because there are too few houses here in Jincheng, there is no place for so many troops, so Zhao Hongyu has been in it for a long time. I had to live in a tent.

But fortunately, when Zhao Hongyu came to this time and space in the early days, he lived in a tent, so he was not used to it.

However, Sun Chuanting was a little embarrassed about this, because he knew that His Royal Highness had been 'pitted' by his own emperor.

Naturally, there are subordinates to do the hands-on things, and Zhao Hongyu turned over and dismounted, sitting on the folding chair that had been placed a long time ago, watching where the big guy was busy.

Building a city here will inevitably attract the Houjin army.

As long as they can withstand the two attacks of the Houjin army and hurt them, then the other party will definitely not dare to invade this place again in the future.

Because the population of Houjin is small, they cannot afford such a big loss. This is a weakness in their innate conditioning.

Hey!

As long as you can stand on your feet, then it will be easy in the future.

When the time comes, he can use this as a base to touch Goryeo in the east, Mongolia in the west, Houjin in the north, and he can also go deep into the Ming Dynasty in the south.

It's a great place.

Well, I have to send someone back to Kyushu as soon as possible to recruit a large number of Japanese soldiers.

At least 50,000 people.

With these 50,000 horses, then Jincheng will be impregnable.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese people is still okay. Although it can't be compared with the Imperial soldiers, it should be on par with the Houjin Eight Banners when used to fight the Houjin Eight Banners.

There is nothing wrong with the courage of the Houjin Eight Banner soldiers, but the Japanese soldiers are not bad.

When the time comes, let the Eight Banners taste the taste of bushido.

Zhao Hongyu sat there and began to think about the future development of Jincheng and a series of questions.

"Someone!"

Now that this has been thought of. Then just arrange it quickly.

It's like sending someone back to Kyushu, but it really can't be delayed.

If he can summon the Japanese soldiers a day earlier, then he can rest assured a day sooner, right?

"Your Highness, what's the matter?"

The adjutant who had been following Zhao Hongyu heard the shout. It was immediately opened.

"Send a small team of people to Jingshi, tell the people on the other side of the Tongzhou Canal, and let them go to Kyushu immediately to announce my order. Let Tokugawa Chiyo of Kyushu recruit 50,000 Kyushu soldiers to transport them to Daming. At the same time, let them inform Zhu Shangwu of this matter, so that he could have a number in his heart. ”

"Yes!"

Regarding Zhao Hongyu's order, the adjutant will not ask anything, or oppose it.

Therefore, when Zhao Hongyu's order was given, the adjutant took the order and left.

At this time, Jay Chou was looking for Sun Chuanting, ready to convey his Royal Highness's orders to him.

At this time, Sun Chuanting was talking with Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui about his feelings when he passed through Liaodong on the way.

"I really can't imagine that the Liaodong Army is so erosive. But if one of these town generals is a smart person and has no selfish intentions, then it is impossible for the Houjin army that was defeated in the Beijing division to return to Houjin! ”

Sun Chuanting looked indignant and tangled.

Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui also gritted their teeth and hated.

Why do they talk about the generals of Liaodong towns, they will show this expression.

It turned out that on the way to Jincheng, the army passed through Liaodong.

When they passed through Liaodong, they found that Liaodong was full of displaced people, and everywhere they passed was a devastated scene.

And many Liaodong villages, at first glance, have just been destroyed for a short time.

Therefore, this attracted a lot of attention from Sun Chuanting.

Didn't the Houjin army not be defeated?

It stands to reason that they should have fled in a hurry.

How to look at these villages in Liaodong, it seems that they have been looted.

Could it be that the generals of Liaodong just let the Houjin Eight Banners ravage?

Therefore, Sun Chuanting made a special inquiry.

This inquiry didn't matter, but it made Sun Chuanting angry.

It turned out that after the Houjin army was defeated by Jay Chou, they did retreat from Liaodong.

However, because the generals of Liaodong did not dare to fight, and then Jin Baqi was defeated by the Beijing Division, so he took the people of Liaodong under the knife...... (To be continued......)
