Lushun has finally arrived.

At this moment, the end of the journey has been reached, and it will soon be ...... Zhang Jingyi saw countless familiar faces.

The first thing I saw was his old father Zhang Tianlun.

Zhang Tianlun is getting older and older, and he is not as energetic as before, but today's people are particularly happy when they are happy.

Headed by him, there are the civil and military officials of Liaodong, and in addition, there are also the brains of all walks of life in Liaodong.

Huang Taiji was wearing armor at this time, and followed behind Zhang Tianlun step by step.

The other is Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, these two people have white gas in their mouths, and they also heard that Zhang Jing is about to arrive in Lushun in a few days, so they rushed from their own station to meet Wang Jia.

After that, there are the cadets of the military academy stationed in Lushun.

Lushun was originally just a lonely and nameless town, but when Emperor Taizu Gao was there, he marched from here and sent sailors to land here, which was used to attack the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty here, and finally landed here, so he specially decreed that this place was changed to Lushun!

The so-called Lushun is just the meaning of the smooth division and brigade.

But today, this seaside town is now beginning to take on the atmosphere of a big city.

Countless skilled craftsmen who followed the Zhang family established workshops here, from shipbuilding to steel, plus the branch of Donglin Military Academy in Lushun, not to mention the influx of a large number of merchants and displaced people, the population of Lushun at this time was nearly 300,000.

And this ...... But it is only the beginning, the number of people who pour in every year is still increasing, the fundamental reason is that this place has gradually become the center of Liaodong, there is a commercial port, there is the largest railway station in Liaodong, and now many schools have been built, supplying a lot of military supplies to the Ming Dynasty, and there are a large number of posts, so there will never be a shortage of people who are willing to beg for a living here.

In addition to the urban land reserved for future development, a large amount of barren land has been carved out, and the road is full of wheat fields, although it has a population of 300,000...... In just a few years, food self-sufficiency has been achieved.

In addition, there are plenty of pastures nearby...... There are also many more cattle and sheep than in Kannai, so the price of meat here is much lower than in Kannai.

As a result, many people are repairing books in the court, all calling friends, or hoping that relatives can bring their families and mouths.

In this era, it is extremely difficult to make a living, and for many people, Lushun is the paradise with the most opportunities in the world, and they can basically fill their stomachs without being persecuted by hunger and cold.

And now...... In addition to the manufacture of ironclad warships, a large number of docks also appeared in Lushun, many of which have received orders for civilian ships.

Especially after the defeat of the Franc Aircraft Navy, many people have realized that they want to come to the sea and use this as an outlet to trade with the whole world.

The reason why many people are willing to choose to go to sea here, on the one hand, is that the Zhang family is here, the first to put forward the norms for the entry and exit of civilian ships in the palace, not like the port in the Guan, although the sea has been completely opened, but in fact, the local government still has many restrictions, and merchant ships come and go, so there is no need to be afraid.

On the other hand, it is here that the shipbuilding industry is well developed.

Everyone welcomed Zhang Jingyi and his family to the Liao Palace.

This Liao Wangfu occupies a large area.

After all, this place was originally a barren land, and Zhang Tianlun had already calculated that he would have children and grandchildren in the future, so he ...... Whether the house is built with carved beams and painted buildings is secondary, and the important thing is to be large enough.

Zhang Jingyi greeted Zhang Tianlun first, and the father and son couldn't help but sigh.

After eating the banquet and settling down, many people came to visit.

The first to visit for a private conversation were Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

As soon as Zhang Jing invited them to sit down, the two of them seemed a little restrained, where was the style of the King of the Mountain at this time, but it was more like the little daughter-in-law who twisted.

Of course, this is just facing Zhang Jingyi, if it is someone else, most of them have the momentum of a bandit king, but it is still terrifying.

Looking at Zhang Jingyi's easy-going face, Li Zicheng took the lead in speaking: "Your Highness has entered Liao this time, and the soldiers and civilians up and down Liaodong will have the backbone. ”

Zhang Jing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "This is serious, everyone is living, I am not here, what does it matter?" Why, the brethren are doing well. ”

"Okay, very." Li Zicheng's eyes were very sincere, looking at Zhang Jingyi, and said sincerely: "People have settled down, there is land to cultivate, and mines around the country are also willing to pay salaries, mainly because they have land, everyone is at ease, this is now our own home, we can eat enough, and we still have money to spare after a year, why are we not comfortable?" To tell the truth, when these brothers did not make a rebellion, they were hungry and cold, and then they rebelled and fought for thousands of miles, and it is needless to say that the hardships involved in this are self-evident. It is only now that I have really lived a peaceful life, I have land, I farmed by myself, and my heart is steady. ”

"Nowadays, all young people who have a little bit of talent are willing to go to school, and many people are determined to take the military academy! In fact...... In the eyes of the imperial court, we may be cunning and cruel, but ...... Let me tell you the truth, it was really bitter in the past, but now that there is a peaceful life, who has other thoughts? ”

As he spoke, he said: "Nowadays, in several places where we gather, there are schools, medical centers, and markets, and by the railway, our harvest can be transported out by rail, in exchange for a little silver, and the goods from outside can also come in, this is all because of His Highness, I don't obey others in this life, but only His Highness." ”

Zhang Jingyi thought of something at this time, and couldn't help but say: "Do you know something about the situation in Beijing?" ”

Li Zicheng did not hesitate to answer this question, and said honestly: "I know something." ”

Zhang Jing nodded and said: "Many people in Beijing say that you will inevitably rebel, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, but I think that you will never rebel again." If I believe in your promises, that's an exaggeration, but I know it...... At the beginning, whether you were against it or not, it was just to fill your stomach, as long as you can settle people, the big guys are good citizens. ”

Zhang Jingyi's words are obviously not mixed with any falsehood.

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion on the side: "Yes, Your Highness said this...... It's really our feelings, and it's also our sincere words. It's just that Your Highness, I have a reluctant request. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Zicheng.

The two seem to have discussed it before they came.

Zhang Jing didn't mind, so he smiled and said, "Say it, you can say whatever you want." ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Here in Liaodong, the Jiannu people, under the financial support of His Royal Highness, continue to explore the far north, and I heard that there is ...... There are still a lot of Northern Yuan forces, there are many khanates, this Jiannu Eight Banners, has been deep, and the remnants of the Northern Yuan have been at war, but they have opened up a lot of land, to be honest...... I've been fighting for half my life, and I want to be idle, this bone is really ...... It's a little itchy, what the Jiannu Eight Banners can do, I can also do it, I can still organize some sons, and also go all the way to the north to kill, and no matter what else, it's not worse than the Jiannu people. ”

Li Zicheng also hurriedly said: "Actually, I also mean this. ”

As soon as Zhang Jing heard this, she knew their thoughts, and she was not surprised.

In fact, Zhang's family is sealed in Liaodong, but Liaodong is just a concept in the field, but only God knows where the border is.

In this era, there is no land boundary, to put it bluntly, whoever controls it belongs to whoever controls it.

For the imperial court, anyway, it is a matter of the king's land under the whole world, Liaodong was given to the Zhang family, but in fact, people are too lazy to care.

Therefore, after the Jiannu people surrendered, Zhang Jingyi left Huang Taiji, which actually means this, these Jiannu people...... They may not be willing to let them resume their former life of fishing and hunting, but it seems unsafe to let them farm and work.

So Zhang Jingyi simply distributed food and weapons to them, let the old and weak women and children move to various places, and still distributed some land, cattle and horses to them, and the rest of the strong ones were allowed to open up to the outside world.

The Jiannu people have been in Liaodong for a long time, whether it is the Jiannu Jurchen or the Haixi Jurchen, they have long been accustomed to this extremely cold weather.

Distributing their sophisticated weapons, in fact, they are not worried about their rebellion, after all, the Jiannu people have been scared, not to mention that their families are also in the rear.

opened up the land and offered the head, this land is naturally occupied by the Zhang family, but how much land they take, how much bounty they will give, which is equivalent to the entire Eight Banners, which was hired by Zhang Jingyi.

Wherever they fought, the Zhang family sent people to garrison there, and then opened a grain route to explore nearby resources and terrain.

As for the Outer Liaodong region at this time, in fact, it has always been the various khanates left behind when the Mongols whipped the world.

For example, the closest to Liaodong is the Siberian Khanate! This Siberian Khanate, which was split from the Golden Horde, had a small population of only 200,000 and extremely low productivity, and seemed to occupy a vast land, but in fact it was ...... But they are all bitter cold places in the far north.

Of course...... Now the Ming still calls it the Siberian Khanate, but in fact...... It had been annexed by Tsarist Russia, and the main capital had fallen into the hands of the Tsar.

Only the area bordering Liaodong was occupied by the remnants of the Siberian Khanate, which is now ...... Like wolves and tigers, the people of the Eight Banners began to invade the vast southeastern region of Siberia and wipe out the remnants of the Siberian Khanate.

In fact, this is understandable, the Eight Banners can't defeat the Donglin Army, and can't they defeat you, the remnants of the Siberian Khanate?

Therefore, they fearlessly attacked the city all the way, and the Zhang family was also very happy, the young and strong people worked hard in the front, and their wives and children and parents in the rear, the bounty was not pulled at all, and they lived a good life in Liaodong.
