"Beizhili and Shandong, Henan are located in the Central Plains, years of military disasters, the people are not happy, the fields are wild, after Aiqing stays in Shandong, when the first resumption of production, so that the sergeants can raise their own fields, Sun Shilun, as the governor of a province, should also lead Shandong officials to recruit displaced people, verify the population, divide the land among the people, and make sure that the cultivators have their fields, and the fields are barren, and then mobilize the people to build forts and cities in order to prepare for the trouble of building slaves!"

Before leaving Jinan Mansion, Zhu Youzhen specially instructed Zhou Yuji, the governor of Shandong, and Sun Shilun.

As for how Shandong will defend, he will not give specific commands.

But Zhu Youzhen will ask Zhou Yuji and Sun Shilun to have the consciousness of locking people's hearts on the land.

In Zhu Youzhen's view, as long as the people, officers and soldiers have their own land on the border of Shandong, it is equivalent to Shandong becoming their own homeland.

At that time, there will be no fear that these people will not stick to their homes.

Now, because Liu Zeqing and other Ming troops and Li Zicheng and other breaking troops have burned, killed and looted in this area of Shandong several times, which has caused a large number of ownerless fields to be produced in Shandong, so it is not much hindrance to re-divide the land here.

Zhu Youzhen not only asked Zhou Yuji and Sun Shilun to do this, but he also ordered someone to pass the decree to Zhu Zhaoming and Ma Shiying, ordering them to do the same in Beizhili and Henan.

According to Zhu Youzhen's prediction, Jiannu will not attack Daming's side during the current period of time.

That is to say, there will be no more military disasters in Beizhili, Shandong, Henan and other places before Jiannu destroys Li Zicheng.

According to the original historical records, in the next year, the Central Plains can have a short period of peace.

Now that spring is in full swing, it is possible to restore a certain degree of agricultural production during the year.

As long as a certain degree of agricultural production can be restored, the Ming will be able to accumulate more strength to defend against Jiannu in the future.

Of course, the training of troops and the construction of equipment cannot be stopped.

Zhu Youzhen's requirements for Zhou Yuji and others are to train soldiers with knives and guns in one hand and plough the land with a hoe in the other.

As long as Beizhili, Shandong, and Henan can regain a trace of vitality, Zhu Youzhen believes that even if Jiannu goes south to capture Jiangnan, it will be more difficult than before.

The defeat of the Ming Dynasty to Jiannu was due to the disintegration of the people's hearts and the aggravation of social contradictions.

But now, after years of war, the population has been sharply reduced, and the social contradiction of the imbalance between man and land has been solved by violent means, and the people of the world are already in a time when they are eager to rule the world.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen believes that the people are more willing to choose themselves, the Ming Emperor, to recreate the rule of the world, rather than choose a foreign emperor to restore the rule of the world in a more brutal way.

For the next road to the south, although there are more than 80,000 troops such as Zhu Zhaoming and Zhou Yuji, who have been left to defend in Beizhili and Tuntian, Shandong.

But Zhu Youzhen did not dare to take it lightly.

After reorganizing Liu Zeqing's 100,000 army and arranging the affairs of Beizhili and Shandong and Henan.

Zhu Youzhen promoted Liu Fangliang, the governor of the Chinese army, to the governor of the left capital of the Chinese army, and continued to command the Third Guards Army.

And Li Banghua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was also added to the rank of Wuyingdian University Scholar and Young Protector for his meritorious participation in the killing of the traitor Liu Zeqing.

In this way, Li Banghua officially became the third existing cabinet member of the Ming Dynasty.

Fan Jingwen, the previous cabinet chief, had taken King Yong and King Ding south from Henan and Huguang.

Wu Xian, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, followed the prince to the south by sea.

In other words, there are only three people in the Ming cabinet so far.

In addition to Fan Jingwen and Wu Xian, it is Li Banghua, who is newly admitted to the cabinet.

In the past, in peacetime, the entry of officials into the cabinet would have been decided by His Majesty the Emperor.

But these are extraordinary times.

As the emperor, Zhu Youzhen can only be arbitrary, and the sacred heart is unique.

At the same time, Zhu Youzhen also ordered Li Banghua, the secretary of the Soldier Department of Wuyingdian University, to immediately lead the Third Army of the Guards to Dongchang Mansion with Liu Fangliang, the governor of the left capital, to raid Liu Zeqing's family property!

Besides.

Zhu Youzhen also ordered that Li Banghua and Liu Fangliang do not have to hand over the money and grain obtained by Liu Zeqing after confiscating them.

Directly as the military expense for the elimination of Liu Liangzuo's department!

This part of the money and grain was uniformly dispatched by Li Banghua.

At the same time, Zhu Youzhen ordered Li Banghua and Liu Fangliang to bring a decree to Gao Jie, the chief military officer of Xuzhou.

ordered Gao Jie's department to immediately eliminate Liu Liangzuo's department together with Liu Fangliang's department.

Li Banghua, a university scholar, supervised the division and commanded the war to eliminate Liu Liangzuo's subordinates.

The reason why Zhu Youzhen asked Li Banghua to command Liu Fangliang and Gao Jie's subordinates to eliminate Liu Liangzuo with the respect of a cabinet scholar.

There are many considerations.

First of all, Liu Liangzuo caused disaster in the area of Fengyang Shouzhou, almost causing ten rooms and nine empty rooms in this area, and the people were miserable.

And Liu Liangzuo is not Zhu Youzhen's descendant army.

So, it had to be eradicated.

Second, after arriving in Nanjing, if Zhu Youzhen wanted to gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan, where the Donglin Party was the majority, he must have his own confidants and important ministers, and he was a heavyweight confidant who was not influenced by southern officials.

Li Banghua, the secretary of the military department who retreated south with him and participated in the plan to surrender Liu Fangliang and kill Liu Zeqing, is undoubtedly Zhu Youzhen's confidant worth cultivating.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youzhen wanted to promote Li Banghua to the cabinet before Nandu.

Otherwise, after crossing the Yangtze River in the south, Zhu Youzhen's attempt to let Li Banghua enter the cabinet will definitely be opposed by officials from the Donglin Party and other southern departments.

At that time, it will definitely be more difficult to let Li Banghua enter the cabinet and help him suppress the forces of the Donglin Party.

And let Li Banghua unify the command of the war to eliminate Liu Liangzuo with the respect of a college student, but did not directly let Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, be the supervisor, but also to let Li Banghua take advantage of the military exploits to eliminate Liu Liangzuo to brush up his prestige and accumulate actual combat command experience.

Zhu Youzhen did not think that Li Banghua was already a qualified secretary of the military department.

After all, Li Banghua has not yet practiced how to dispatch troops, horses, money, and food and coordinate generals from all walks of life to command a war.

As long as Li Banghua successfully commanded the campaign to eliminate Liu Liangzuo.

Zhu Youzhen could justifiably let him continue to serve as the secretary of the military department after arriving in Nanjing.

And Shi Kefa, who is relied on by the Donglin Party, is not easy to fight.

As for Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang.

Although Zhu Youzhen knew that he had the talent to lead the army, Zhu Youzhen also knew that he was very deceitful and had too much power.

And Liu Liangzuo is his descendant army, so it is impossible for Zhu Youzhen to expect him Ma Shiying to exterminate his descendant army.

Of course, Ma Shiying himself, Zhu Youzhen intends to reuse it after arriving in Nanjing.

Just because Ma Shiying has a background as a eunuch and is incompatible with the Donglin Party, plus he also has a certain military talent, and later resisted the Qing Dynasty and died without surrendering, he can be regarded as a loyal minister.

Zhu Youzhen had to use it.

However, now Zhu Youzhen does not want to directly express his intention to reuse Ma Shiying.

After all, the emperor has not yet gained a firm foothold in Jiangnan, and he still needs the support of the officials of the Donglin Party in the south.

If Ma Shiying is directly transferred to work by his own side now, I am afraid that the Donglin Party will be alert to himself in advance.

In order to avoid Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, giving Li Banghua two troops to Liu Fangliang and Gao Jie to eliminate Liu Liangzuo's war constraints.

Zhu Youzhen directly ordered Ma Shiying's promotion and secret surrender, promoted him to the governor of Henan Military Administration, and ordered him to train troops in Henan to prepare for war.

If Ma Shiying was ordered to go to that barren place in Henan.

Zhu Youzhen transferred Liu Liangzuo back to the cabinet after he eliminated him and arrived in Nanjing.

But if Ma Shiying still wants to control the military power and stay in Fengyang to prevent Li Banghua from eliminating Liu Liangzuo's subordinates, which is to resist the order, Zhu Youzhen doesn't mind getting rid of him as well.
