With great power in hand and strong troops in hand, Liu Ruyi's three policies were soon implemented in Luoyang City!

And along with it, there are several latest personnel appointments signed by Liu Ruyi personally!

Wang Yinchang, the former political counselor, was transferred to the prefect of Luoyang!

Luoyang's son Zhao Yang was promoted to the 'Loyal and Brave Battalion' to join the army, assist Chen Yongfu, and jointly deal with the government affairs of the 'Loyal and Brave Battalion'!

Luoyang Juzi Huang Fuming, that is, the son of Huang Qing, the head of the Huang family in Luoyang, was promoted to the big tent of the Caishi Army, which is probably equivalent to Liu Ruyi's secretary!

There are also several sons of wealthy businessmen and tycoons in Luoyang who have made a big name at the beginning, and they have also been transferred to the barracks of the Caishi Army to serve in some civilian positions that are not too important!

It can also be regarded as Liu Ruyi's disguised compensation for their support!

And these personnel appointments, except for Wang Yinchang's Luoyang prefect, need to be transferred to the imperial court, and the court will issue formal appointments, and Liu Ruyi can make the decision alone!

But Wang Yinchang's appointment is already an established fact, even if he can't get the approval of the imperial court, for Liu Ruyi, this is not a problem!

In such a situation now, it won't be long before the imperial court will be able to insert a needle into Luoyang City!

And Liu Ruyi also believes that Emperor Chongzhen will not turn his face against himself, a 'feudal official' with a heavy army, for the sake of a mere Luoyang prefect!

The speed of the Central Plains Chamber of Commerce Alliance is also very fast, and they set up the 'Wangbin Building' where Liu Ruyi stayed as their headquarters, and vigorously recruited and attracted wealthy businessmen from the Central Plains to join!

Liu Ruyi also showed enough concern for this, and personally invited Lu Weiqi, a great Confucian of science, to serve as the honorary president of the Central Plains Chamber of Commerce Alliance, with an annual salary of 10,000 taels!

Although Lu Weiqi is a great Confucian, in fact, his family assets are not rich, especially during the siege of the army, it can almost be said that he has to scatter his family wealth!

For Liu Ruyi's love, Lu Weiqi is very grateful, the merchants and literati in the late Ming Dynasty are actually a family, and there is no clear class distinction in the braided dynasty, Lu Weiqi is a literary Confucian, but he will not get along with silver, so he naturally accepts it gladly!

And Liu Ruyi also revealed a deeper meaning of wooing, that is, inviting Lu Weiqi's son ~~ Lu Zhaolin to Shandong as an official!

But Lu Weiqi thought about it for a long time, and still rejected Liu Ruyi's proposal, on the grounds that 'the time has not yet come!' ’

Liu Ruyi can also understand Lu Weiqi's distress, the big frame of the Ming Dynasty has not yet fallen, even if these people have found their own way out in private, but in terms of righteousness, they can't jump out at this moment!

Therefore, Liu Ruyi is no longer entangled in this!

For Liu Ruyi, with a solid foundation, he is not afraid of not being able to recruit the 'Golden Phoenix' who spreads his wings and flies high!

The construction of the loyal and brave battalion was also very fast, in addition to the original officials and troops from all over the Central Plains, Liu Ruyi also included the township warriors in Luoyang City into the loyal and brave battalion!

This time, the number of loyal and brave battalions has also reached nearly 10,000!

Officers and soldiers, village bravery, almost half and half!

And the reason why Zhao Yang was not allowed to do a clerical job was that Liu Ruyi was also carefully considered!

The combat power of the loyal battalion must be pulled to the battlefield, but the stability of Luoyang City cannot be ignored!

Although the Caishi Army can garrison troops in Luoyang City, the guest army has many restrictions after all, and Zhao Yang has the talent to lead the troops and has a heart for himself, so Liu Ruyi will not be stingy and give him greater rights!

Zhao Yang is also grateful for Liu Ruyi's arrangement, he is nearly thirty years old, and he has finally opened the door to the power field, only a person like Zhao Yang, who has been suppressed for a long time, can know the preciousness of this opportunity!

So much so that on Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Yang and his wife took their mouths to visit Liu Ruyi's room in person, and drank a meal of wine until most of the night, but no one knew what the two were talking about!

Everyone just saw that since that day, Zhao Yang was like a different person, full of murderous energy, and the sergeants of the loyal and brave battalion were densely packed in every corner of Luoyang City, and often, people could also see Zhao Yang's figure, meticulous!

Although the situation in Luoyang City has temporarily stabilized, Liu Ruyi still doesn't have half a chance to rest!

With the silver of the wealthy merchants and giants in Luoyang City in place, the bereavement and reward of the Caishi Army are also in full swing!

In this battle, due to the large number of new troops of the Caishi Army, the hand-to-hand combat was also extremely tragic, so there were many casualties!

More than 4,600 people were killed in the battle, and the number of injured reached 10,000.

However, what made Liu Ruyi happy was that in this battle, a group of new young generals also emerged in the Caishi Army!

For example, Wen Cheng, Zhang Mu and others, they are thoughtful and decisive, and they already have the wind of a general!

For Liu Ruyi, this is much more important than receiving millions of taels of silver!

For them, Liu Ruyi did not hesitate to reward!

Zhang Mu was promoted to the cavalry guerrilla of the Caishi Army and was given a title of 10,000 taels of silver, and Wen Cheng was promoted to a guerrilla of the artillery battalion of the Caishi Army, and he was also rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver!

This also made the two of them quickly become the focus of the Caishi Army and the role model of the new soldiers!

There are meritorious soldiers in the army, everyone is rewarded, and the remains of the fallen soldiers and the placement of seriously injured soldiers are also being carried out in an orderly manner!

The bodies of the fallen soldiers will be transported to the martyrs' shrine in Shandong and Caishi Town, where their families will be buried one by one after worship!

Seriously injured soldiers will also return to Caishi Town and be properly settled! If they recover well, they can also become instructors or advisors to the Colored Stone Army!

War itself is the most cruel product in human history, although Liu Ruyi is the victor and the beneficiary, but it will take a certain amount of time to fully accept this process!

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the eighth day of the first month!

The lively New Year has passed, and Liu Ruyi has finally found a moment to catch his breath in his busyness, and he can also calm down and think carefully about the future development of the Caishi Army!

In the Tianzi room of Wangbin Building, Chen Yongfu, the head of the loyal and brave battalion, is drinking tea with Liu Ruyi!

Looking at the crowd under the window, Chen Yongfu couldn't help but sigh, "Grandpa Guo's methods, I really admire the lowliness!" After a few days of hard work, the prosperity of Luoyang City can be restored to eighty! If the Central Plains Chamber of Commerce Alliance is officially put into operation, I am afraid that it will far exceed the prosperity of Luoyang in the past! ”

Liu Ruyi smiled, "General Chen is getting better and better at talking!" Hehe! I'm about to get a little fluttery! By the way, Chen De's kid is good, it's time to mention it! I want him to go to the Vermilion Bird Camp of the Caishi Army to train, I don't know what General Chen wants? ”

Chen Yongfu couldn't help but tighten his nerves, Chen De is his son, and the Duke of Qi actually wants to transfer him to the main army of the Caishi Army, this, how much respect this should be!

"Grandpa Guo, this, this...... Ay! The dog is young, and his temper is also pampered by his humble duties, so he is afraid, he is afraid that when the time comes, this stupid boy will commit a taboo, this ......" Chen Yongfu was a little at a loss with excitement, the more he wanted to explain clearly, but the more he couldn't understand!

Liu Ruyi smiled and waved his hand, "General Chen, between you and me, it's far away to say this!" Chen De's ability, I know it in my heart! He was transferred to the Vermilion Bird Battalion guerrilla, which is reasonable, and General Chen should not be polite anymore! The sky of young people is vast, and one day, the son will surpass Lao Tzu, isn't it impossible! ”

Although Chen De is not as stable as his father and his temper is a little short-tempered, his force is extremely brave!

Historically, when Li Zicheng besieged Luoyang, he led his soldiers to explore the terrain outside Luoyang City, but he was blinded by Chen De's arrow a few miles away, which shows his ability!

The Suzaku Battalion itself is a forward battalion, and it is mainly charged into battle!

Chen De's temperament is the best in the Vermilion Bird Camp!

Seeing that Liu Ruyi actually promoted Chen De to a guerrilla, Chen Yongfu's tears were about to fall, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, trembling and said: "Thank you Qi Guogong, thank you Qi Guogong!" The lowly father and son will do their best to serve the grandfather of the country! ”

The guerrilla of the Caishi Army is far from being comparable to the guerrilla of the Ming Dynasty!

There is no imaginary number at all in the color stone army, how many people should be, how many people are there!

This means that under Chen De's command, there will be at least more than 3,000 elite soldiers!

Don't forget, although Chen Yongfu is the chief soldier, in the Caishi Army, as the commander of the loyal and brave battalion, he is only a deputy general!

And the strength of the Loyal Battalion is far from the regular army of the Suzaku Battalion!

If this is the case, if these two men really want to fight, Chen Yongfu is not half sure!

Liu Ruyi smiled and patted Chen Yongfu's shoulder, "General Chen is a person, Ruyi has always admired him very much!" is still the same sentence, the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time! You and I encourage it! ”

~~~~~~

Seeing Chen Yongfu away, Liu Ruyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

The reason why he is so painstaking about Luoyang City, Liu Ruyi is actually well-intentioned!

Luoyang City is the heart of the Central Plains, the west can enter Guanzhong, the north can reach Gyeonggi, the south can go down to Huguang, and the east can encircle the south of the Yangtze River!

If he can firmly occupy Luoyang City, in the future general trend of the world, Liu Ruyi can firmly grasp the initiative!

Moreover, the Central Plains is fertile and densely populated, although it has been slightly traumatized at this time, as long as there is enough financial and human resources to pour in, Luoyang City will return to its former prosperity, only in the morning and night!

Although Jinan City has been operated by Liu Ruyi for many years, it is obviously incomparable with Luoyang City in terms of topography, conditions, and influence!

After all, there are many things that cannot be done by humans!

Luoyang City is surrounded by dragon energy, the same financial resources, the same energy, Jinan City and Luoyang City, who will have a better effect, it is naturally self-evident!

Liu Ruyi was even thinking about whether to move his family and the seat of the Caishi Army to Luoyang City!

And once they settle in Luoyang City, the Caishi Army can garrison troops on all sides!

Western Henan, Eastern Henan, Huguang, Jiangnan, and even Gyeonggi will be covered by the influence of the Caishi Army!

Winning in stability, this is the only way for Liu Ruyi to come so far and stand tall!

After all, when you are barefoot, you can fight with your life and get rich, but when you put on your shoes, you can think about things that are more than that simple!

"General, general, yes, husband, lady is here!" At this time, the soldiers at the door suddenly reported excitedly.

Liu Ruyi was stunned, "Madam? Which lady? ”

At this time, I saw Dong Xiaowan walking into the room in a curling manner, glanced at Liu Ruyi with affection, and said slightly, "Xiaowan has seen the general!" ”

Liu Ruyi's heart was suddenly filled with happiness, and regardless of the presence of his own soldiers, he took Dong Xiaowan into his arms, "At this time, you, why are you here?" ”
