"Lord Commander!" Naturally, the commander of the Mingding fleet was Luo Hai, the commander of the Suzhou Zhenhai Guard, and a cadre of generals who led the fleet went to meet Li Yuntian, who arrived at the port.

Luo Hai had already heard of the two great victories of the Ming army in Sanjiang Mansion, which made him admire Li Yuntian even more, it was obvious that these two victories were commanded by Li Yuntian, and the generals of the Ming army in Jiaozhi had long been stunned by the rebels, it seems that Li Yuntian is not in vain, and he does have outstanding military talent.

Due to the limited transportation capacity of the Mingding fleet, it could only transport a maximum of six or seven thousand civilians at a time, and according to the itinerary, it would take more than a month for the Daming Naval Division to arrive at Qinghua Port after setting off from Taicang Port in Suzhou, so the soldiers and civilians of Qinghua City had to leave in batches.

According to Li Yuntian's order, the elderly, women and children in the team left first, and the rest of the people camped on the spot at Thanh Hoa Port, leaving in order, and the army was responsible for pressing the formation, and finally boarded the ship.

In order to ensure that the soldiers and civilians gathered in Thanh Hoa Port could live with peace of mind, Li Yuntian specially used the Mingding number to transfer grain from Xin'an Province, which completely solved everyone's food problem and greatly appeased the people's feelings.

At this point, there was a strange phenomenon on the battlefield of Cochin in Thanh Hoa Province: more than 100,000 Ming soldiers and civilians gathered in Thanh Hoa Port, while the rebels in Thanh Hoa City turned a blind eye and watched those soldiers and civilians leave by boat one after another.

The retreat of the Ming army and civilians in Thanh Hoa City was later called the "Thanh Hoa Great Retreat" by historians, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who successfully evacuated Thanh Hoa Province later became an important force in the reconstruction of Cochin, and had important strategic significance for the stability and development of Cochin, so it was praised by later generations.

At the same time, the retreat of Thanh Hoa also became an important evidence for later generations to suspect that Li Yuntian and Li Li had a secret agreement on the battlefield of Jiaozhi, but because it was not direct evidence, it could not be proved that the rebels did not pursue Li Yuntian, perhaps the rebels were greedy for a comfortable life in Thanh Hoa City and did not want to fight to the death with the Ming army.

According to the records of Qinghua Prefecture, after the rebel generals entered the city, they immediately divided the houses and shops of the large families who fled, which also showed from the side that the rebels had no intention of pursuing the Ming army.

Li Yuntian had been staying in Xin'an Mansion for more than a month before leaving, and because the soldiers and civilians from Qinghua City were unwilling to trek to Xuanhua Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion again, they stayed in Xin'an Mansion one after another.

Although there were more than 100,000 people at once, the Xin'an Prefecture government did not panic, but orderly and properly resettled those soldiers and civilians in Qinghua City in Xin'an Province.

This is not because the Xin'an Prefecture is efficient, but that the Xin'an Prefecture is implementing Li Yuntian's resettlement plan, and Li Yuntian has already considered where the military and civilians of Thanh Hoa City will go after retreating before coming to Jiaozhi, so he has taken Xin'an Mansion as an important resettlement point.

Although Xuanhua Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion are also Li Yuntian's backup resettlement sites, since ancient times, the people have not liked to leave their hometowns, so Li Yuntian focused on Xin'an Mansion.

At this time, Xin'an Prefecture had already transferred a large amount of grain, farm tools and daily necessities from Guangxi, which was enough to ensure the food, clothing and daily living of the soldiers and civilians in Thanh Hoa City, so the people were stable and orderly.

As Li Ge led his army into Thanh Hoa City, Le Li secretly ordered the rebel defenders of Lang Jiang City to transfer the main force to Jiaozhou City in case of a surprise attack by the Ming army, and sent a confidant general to take over his defense of Lang Jiang City.

The rebel guards of Langjiang City naturally did not know that this was Li Li's strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he led the main rebel army of Langjiang City to rush to the aid of **zhou City.

The day after the main rebel force of Lang Thanh left, the Ming army of Tan An and Lang Son gathered 10,000 troops and marched towards Lang Duc after the round.

There were more than 7,000 rebels in Lang Duc at this time, and it stands to reason that they could hold on to the city with the defense of Lang Giang Castle, but the new rebel general of Lang Duc Thanh ordered to abandon the city and flee, and left Lang Duc Duc with soldiers and civilians loyal to the rebels to Jiaozhou Mansion.

Originally, the generals of the Ming army took the initiative to seek war and wanted to pursue the fleeing rebel soldiers and civilians, but they were rejected by the leading Ming army generals and let them go to recover the prefectures and counties under Langjiang Prefecture.

Therefore, with the tacit cooperation of Li Yuntian and Li Li, the rebel soldiers and civilians of Langjiang City entered the territory of Jiaozhou Mansion, which means that the cooperation between the two has a good start.

Since Emperor Xuande ordered Wang Tong to lead his army to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion, this was the first time that the Ming army recaptured the seat of a prefecture, which greatly encouraged the military and civilians in the areas controlled by the Ming army, such as Xin'an Mansion, Langshan Mansion, Jianchang Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion, Xuanhua Mansion and Sanjiang Mansion, and their morale soared.

At the same time, the Daming sailors who came from Suzhou arrived at Yuntun Port, with a total of nearly 100 large and small ships, densely moored at the port of Yuntun Port, attracting many people to see the excitement, excitement, and morale.

Under the impetus of Li Yuntian, the news that the Xiaowu army had arrived in Xin'an Mansion by sea ship and participated in the attack on Langjiang City spread far and wide, which not only inspired the Ming army and civilians, but also surprised the rebels.

Since the task of the Daming Navy Division was to transport the Ming army and civilians who stayed in Thanh Hoa Port, the people of Xin'anfu, Jianchang, Fenghua and Thanh Hoa on the eastern coast of Jiaozhi all witnessed the formation of the sailors sailing on the offshore sea, which was majestic and full of shock.

With the loss of Langjiang City, the Li Li army urgently drew out a part of the rebels besieging Anliang County and returned to the state capital to stand by in case of a surprise attack by the Ming army.

When the news of the appearance of the ships of the Ming army's sailors in Xin'an Province and other places reached Xiaohe Town, Li Li immediately convened a high-level meeting of the rebel generals, and finally decided to stick to Jiaozhou City and fight the arriving Xiaowu army with all its might.

Therefore, on the second day after the meeting, the rebels who had besieged Anliang County for two or three months began to pull out the village and set off, retreating to Lilian City, which is on the border of Jiaozhou Prefecture, and stationed 30,000 troops in Lilian City to defend the Ming army in Sanjiang Prefecture.

When the retreat of the rebels was confirmed, the Ming army and civilians in Anliang County immediately cheered, they originally thought that they would experience a bloody battle in Anliang County, but no one thought that the rebels would retreat.

Later, when they heard that the Xiaowu Army had come to Jiaozhi on the ship of the Daming Water Division, they were immediately excited, their morale was high, and the haze of the previous defeat was swept away.

Since then, the confrontation between the Ming army and the rebels in Jiaozhi has officially taken shape, and according to the agreement with Li Yuntian, Li Li gradually withdrew those rebels in the territory controlled by the Ming army, and the boundary between the two sides gradually became clear.

Li Yuntian also abided by the agreement, and the garrisons in Sanjiang City and Langjiang City were only half of the agreed amount, that is, 5,000 people each, to show that he had no intention of attacking the rebels and reassure Li Li.

The rest of the Ming army was withdrawn by Li Yuntian to Taiyuan and Xin'an for reorganization, and he carried out a drastic reform of the garrison in Jiaozhi, not only eliminating the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army, but also carrying out a major reform of the military households in Jiaozhi, that is, allowing the military households in Jiaozhi not to join the army, but to engage in the operation of the subordinate industries of the Jiangwutang as a replacement.

In other words, Li Yuntian has actually abolished the military households in Jiaozhi, but he has not said it explicitly.

After all, Jiaozhi is different from the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and its population is mostly the local people of Jiaozhi, so if the Ming Dynasty wants to really govern it well, it cannot rely on force alone, and the top priority is to develop the agriculture and economy of Jiaozhi through those residents who have migrated from the interior, so as to open up the situation.

Because Jiaozhou City had been occupied by the rebels, Li Yuntian ordered the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, the Inspectorate Division, and the Capital Division to go to Taiyuan City, Taiyuan Prefecture, to take Taiyuan City as the temporary seat of governance.

At the end of February of the third year of Xuande, after more than ten years of rebellion, Jiaozhi finally calmed down, and the Ming army and the rebels entered a period of recuperation, like two tired beasts after a fierce battle.

At the same time, both the Ming army and the rebel army shifted the focus of their affairs to agriculture and economic construction, and many people were starved of food due to years of war, and both sides had to seize the time to solve the food problem.

Although Li Li and Li Yuntian reached an agreement in private, he did not take it lightly, and secretly accumulated strength, not only began to reorganize the army like Li Yuntian, but also made contact with the pirates who were rampaging in the waters of the South Seas, and through those pirates to trade with the countries of the South Seas to obtain profits, which were used to support the expenses of the rebels.

Li Li was forced to do this, because he was at war with the Ming Dynasty, so the surrounding countries such as Champa and Zhenla would not trade with him, and he could only look overseas.

Li Yuntian did not pay attention to Li Li's maritime trade, in his opinion, Li Li did this only to solve the urgent need, but could not really solve the financial pressure of the rebels, in addition to the rebels' military supplies, the resettlement and relief of the people in the rebel territory need money, which will make Li Li have a headache for this.

At this time, the advantages of the Ming Dynasty as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire were highlighted, and Li Yuntian not only transferred a large number of relief from the official warehouse in Guangxi to the people in the jurisdiction, but also exempted the people in the jurisdiction from taxation and forced labor for two years.

As soon as the news of the exemption from the two-year tax and conscription came out, the people in the Ming army-controlled zhì prefecture capital suddenly became jubilant, which meant that they would have no land tax and ding tax within two years, and they could engage in their own affairs with peace of mind, and all their income and defending the city would be owned by themselves.

Since there was no land tax and no Ding tax, the expenses of the three divisions of Jiaozhi and the local yamen would be paid by the military expenses of the counterinsurgency army raised by Li Yuntian.

In order to compensate for the financial pressure of the local yamen in Jiaozhi after the exemption of the Tian Fu and Ding taxes, Li Yuntian, in the name of General Dingnan, officially issued the "Jiaozhi Commercial Law", which not only stipulated that commercial and trade activities in Jiaozhi were protected by the Jiaowutang Jiaozhi Department of Commerce, but also clearly stipulated new commercial tax rates, including those for tea, salt, cloth, and ore.

The new tax rate is the same as that set by Li Yuntian when he bid for the commercial franchise and mining rights in Yangzhou, and is much higher than the tax rate in the 13 provinces of Daming, Beijing, and Beijing.

Among them, what attracts special attention is a new yamen established by Li Yuntian in Jiaozhi -- the Jiaowutang Jiaozhi Commerce Department.

The Jiaozhi Commerce Division of Jiangwutang not only took charge of the commercial affairs in Jiaozhi, but also took over the Yuntun City Bo Division, and incorporated the Yuntun City Bo Division, which was originally under the jurisdiction of the Jiaozhi Buzheng Division, into the Jiaozhi Business Department of Jiaowutang, and the weight of power can be seen.
