In three days, Zhou Qingfeng's light cavalry assault took three state cities, and the weak face of the Ming army was torn off by him. After continuous fighting, he completely understood why Liaodong was fighting, and the Ming court had to transfer troops from all over the country. It was really because Liaodong had no troops available, and the three state cities could not withstand the surprise attack of one or two hundred of his men.

The Ming Dynasty, which has been peaceful for a long time, is really rotten.

Zhou Qingfeng led the cavalry to kill the resistance of the Guanggai Prefecture Guard, and rushed all the way back to Yingkou. When he appeared outside the camp with the rumbling horses' hooves, Xu Bing, who was staying at the Yingkou base, hurriedly ran out, and asked in a terrified low voice, "Are you defeated and fled back?" ”

"Fart, a little confidence in me, okay?" Zhou Qingfeng shouted excitedly: "I have penetrated the entire Liaodong Peninsula and returned victorious." All three cities on the western front of the peninsula have been emptied by me, and our strategic depth has become incomparably greater. ”

Piercing the entire peninsula?

You're bragging!

Xu Bing said he couldn't believe it at all.

Zhou Qingfeng stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder and said, "The Ming army is too bad, really too bad, it's too bad than we imagined." We all thought it would be great if we could defeat Lushun, but in fact, there were no soldiers guarding the three guards in Liaodong. When it touches us, it's basically a one-touch collapse. I've really penetrated three big cities of guards, and now those cities are waiting for you to take over. ”

Xu Bing couldn't accept this fact for a long time, she reached out and pounded Zhou Qingfeng's chest and said, "You seem to have grown a little taller again." Age has increased again? ”

"yes, I'm fifteen years old now." Zhou Qingfeng's height has jumped to one meter seventy-five, and thin whiskers appear at the corners of his mouth, and the original young man has a bit of an adult appearance.

He probably told about the fact that he and Li Shuwei discussed land reform in Jinzhou City, which led to heavenly punishment. "Heavenly punishment did not kill us, but tempered us. Li Shuwei has gained thunder and lightning spiritual power, and my cultivation has increased significantly. ”

This heavenly punishment is simply to send it for repair.

"I've also been promoted, and now I'm at the third level of qi and blood. In fact, those who fought against the punishment with you that night were more or less benefited. Xu Bing sighed for a while before slowly accepting the fact that he had won a huge strategic victory—he thought that he could only get a small Lushun, but in fact he had obtained the entire peninsula.

"Say it again, what places have you taken these days?"

"Jin covers the city of Weisuo Prefecture in the three states."

"Again, I like to hear it."

"Jin covers Sanzhou, and when I am free, I can also knock down Haizhou."

"Say it again."

"I took the entire Liaodong Peninsula!"

Ye ......, Xu Binghuan jumped three feet high with joy, and shouted eagerly: "I will go and designate a migration plan, move to Gaizhou first, and then spread to the entire peninsula." We can accommodate an unlimited number of people, and the peninsula can accommodate millions of people. ”

When the news reached the Yingkou base, all the personnel in the 'revolutionary army' system fell into a state of frenzy. Zhou Qingfeng seized the opportunity to announce that as long as he joined the 'revolutionary army', he could obtain the right to cultivate more than five mu of land per capita on the Liaodong Peninsula for free, and would not pay any taxes for two years, and the land policy of paying no more than 30 percent of the taxes after two years. Those who have made meritorious contributions in the army can receive fifty acres.

This kind of land policy is a complete killer!

As an agrarian people, the Han people's desire for land was beyond the reach of nomadic and pirate peoples. From the small Yanhuang tribe in the Yellow River valley to a huge civilization that dominated the whole of East Asia, all the land suitable for cultivation was occupied by the Han Chinese. Most of the ethnic minorities are in the deep mountains and old forests, not because they like to be close to nature, but because the Han people are brave enough.

Those who praise the wild and powerful force of the alien race certainly have never really survived in the wild. Anyone who has tasted the days when there was no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and an iron pot as a treasure, anyone will understand that only farming can live a good life in ancient times, support enough social division of labor, and develop a brilliant civilization.

"Eat his mother, wear his mother, and follow the young marshal without food."

When this nursery rhyme spread everywhere in the mouths of the personnel of the Propaganda Section of the 'Revolutionary Army', the whole of Liaodong was in a sensation. In times of war, everyone is looking for a place to stay. In particular, the lower strata of society, who do not have any assets, are desperate to obtain a piece of land to survive.

Originally, the population who defected to the 'revolutionary army' was only a few hundred a day, but when Zhou Qingfeng took Haizhou with victory and opened up a land passage connecting other regions in eastern Liaodong, a large number of people rushed to the peninsula like a tide. The number of people in the daily shelter is doubling, and at its most it can accept tens of thousands of people a day.

The Ming army in all parts of Liaodong could only defend the city, sit back and watch the 'revolutionary army' loot the countryside, and did nothing.

In order to reduce the mortality rate of these people, Xu Bing organized a large number of people to set up porridge sheds along the way, and arranged tens of thousands of vehicles to greet them, or use water transportation to reduce physical exertion. The 'revolutionary army' no longer took care of these populations, and directly allowed them to enter the Liaodong Peninsula, sending only a small number of personnel to simply divide the resettlement areas.

Housing, food rations, medical care, all these things. At most, Xu Bing arranged for administrative staff to simply restrain the population, electing the team leader in groups of 100 people and the village chief in five groups, so that they could manage themselves. As for the contradictions with the local landlords on the Liaodong Peninsula, the 'revolutionary army' often forcefully suppressed the landlords and directly confiscated the land of the original landlords for redistribution.

Those who do not accept it die, and there is no emotion at all.

In September and October, before the onset of winter, the 'revolutionary army' took in about 500,000 people from all over Liaodong. The exact numbers are not counted at all, and they cannot be counted. In fact, waiting for the news to spread, not only people from Liaodong came to join, but even people from Liaoxi came over, and people from Shandong also came across the sea, just to get a piece of land.

With such a huge population migration, Zhou Qingfeng did not refuse to come. Although he knew that these people must be mixed in their mouths, they must be mixed with all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and they must be screened in the future. But as long as he has these people, he will not worry. In the final analysis, it is people who promote social development. No one naturally can't get mixed with anything.

With more than 500,000 people from outside and more than 100,000 from Liaodong locals, the population in the area controlled by the 'revolutionary army' is about 700,000. Most of these people have no food or clothing, and the poor jingle rings. Ignore them completely, I am afraid that a large number of them will die, and it will be easy to cause riots. In order to maintain their survival, Zhou Qingfeng decided to expand the army.

The first phase of the goal is to expand the number of guards from 1,000 to 10,000, which will be completed within half a month. The second phase was expanded from 10,000 to 50,000 and completed within three months. The first phase of the expansion consisted of a regular armed force, armed with swords and guns, to defend the nascent 'revolutionary army'. The second phase is simply an unarmed militia, and after simple training, it will be put into full swing production and construction to build a new home.

Building roads and bridges, building water conservancy, building new houses, all of this requires manpower. Although the temperature in eastern Liaoning has dropped sharply since October, don't think about hiding in the cat winter after eating. The 'revolutionary army' invested all the money and food it had looted, and did its best to restore agricultural production on the peninsula.

Li Shuwei, a graduate of Agricultural University, came in handy. He found several large baskets of potatoes in the cafeteria of the technical school in the remote island of time and space—like a treasure!

When Li Shuwei came out with a few large boxes of potatoes, he shouted: "We are saved by the." Although this thing is susceptible to virus degradation, it can still guarantee yield if it is grown for at least a few generations. And as long as we do a good job of preserving the seed potatoes and cultivating the bud tips, we will be able to live on potatoes in the future. Uh......, bud tip cultivation is a bit difficult, but you can try. ”

The time when these baskets of potatoes were discovered was in the summer when Li Shuwei had just come out of the island of time and space. At that time, he began to cultivate these seed potatoes in pieces, expand the number of plants, and train the planters. By the time he was evacuated from Fushun, he had harvested five tonnes of seed potatoes from the two acres of potato field he had sown – a yield that scared the indigenous agricultural technicians out of their minds.

These seed potatoes are now the top secret of the 'revolutionary army' and are safely kept. Li Shuwei waited to complete the construction of water conservancy facilities on the Liaodong Peninsula, and when the spring of 1617 arrived, he planted these 'killer features' along with corn - corn also came from the technical school canteen on the isolated island of time and space, and was also planted by Li Shuwei as a treasure for a season.

In addition to Li Shuwei's big killer, the three traversers whose strength had been greatly improved once again pulled in the remaining traversal unlucky eggs from the void outside the space-time island. Five people in total.

Two of the five are doctors from the health center near the technical school, Deng Zhihong and Yu Hongyang, and one each from the internal medicine and surgery. A vice principal of a technical school, Yin Hu, specializes in managing students. A teacher in a technical school's mechanical repair class, Zhao Ze. A metallurgical teacher at the School of Mines, Stone.

The personnel engaged in development are all together!

With the addition of these five people, the management work of Zhou Qingfeng and others has been greatly reduced. Two doctors were kicked out to form the Ministry of Health and Medical Affairs. Yin Hu set up the shelves of the Ministry of Education. Zhao Ze took over the engineering department, and Li Shuwei was in charge of the agriculture department. Stone's head of the Ministry of Mines. Xu Bing was in charge of the administrative department, and finally had the energy to put the establishment of the Ministry of Security and the Ministry of Police on the agenda.

The armed forces are still in Zhou Qingfeng's hands, and no one will rob him.

High-quality personnel gathered together, the cruel reality of the late Ming Dynasty was in front of everyone, and all the traversers had to gather together and unite within the leadership collective with Zhou Qingfeng as the core. Everyone's primary goal is to survive, followed by the expulsion of the Tatars, and the ultimate goal is to revitalize China.

In addition, there are various small goals that need not be mentioned, such as the topic of making a maid revolution is indispensable.

When the leadership was formed, the ruling center of the 'revolutionary army' was chosen to be in Jinzhou, which was relatively far away from the battlefield. The military focus was on the city of Gaizhou and Dandong in Kas. In particular, Gaizhou will be completely militarized, as it will be under great pressure to attack.

All of these changes will take time to complete. And in September 1616, when Zhou Qingfeng had just taken over the entire Liaodong Peninsula, all he had to do was to keep moving the population.

Tens of thousands of people have made their way down the peninsula along the Gaizhou line, and although most of them are ragged and languid, their hearts are full of sparks of hope and eager to settle down in their new homes.

The new problem faced by the traversers is how to turn their technical advantages on paper into actual material advantages.

What do we have to do first? Mining mines, smelting steel, making muskets and artillery?

Let's catch the fish first!
