I hope that Zhu Youzhen will not be as rigid as before, and he must know how to win people's hearts, maybe Daming will be able to come back to life.

This time for a short meeting, Ling Jingyang and Zhu Youzhen did not speak, the two looked at each other in the air, Ling Jingyang saw Zhu Youzhen's troops, and was also speechless, Zhu Youzhen actually had so many soldiers and horses, it was completely worthy of the Dashun army and the Qing army, and after Zhu Youzhen left with the troops, he also knew that it was time to leave Fenxi County.

Three days later, he led the Iron Fist Army north to Lingshi County, where he joined forces with the He Zhen Department in Qinzhou, and the two armies formed an iron plate under the pressure of Zhu Youzhen.

Soon after, Jiang Hao also asked the envoy to come to the Ling Jingyang military camp, and Ling Jingyang, He Zhen asked the three armies to stay warm.

Ling Jingyang and He Zhen also agreed, so the three armies formally reached an alliance, the north rejected the Qing army, the south reached the imperial court, Dong blocked Dashun, whether it was Zhu Youzhen, Li Zicheng, or Boluo, they did not dare to easily launch an attack on these three armies.

The Iron Fist Legion was based in Lingshi County and expanded, and Ling Jingyang also received grain and grass from Zhang Shun.

Ten days ago, Zhang Shun led the troops to the border between Pingyang Mansion and Shaanxi, where there are many ravines and ravines, many of which have the grain and grass left here by the Dashun army, which are all for the attack on Shanxi and the preparation of going south to Huguang, at this time Zhang Shun took part of it to Lingshi County.

Lingshi County is also a small county seat, because the military and civilians of Ling Jingyang arrived here, and became very lively, Ling Jingyang made Jin Dashou to regain his old business, and expanded Lingshi County into a larger city, in order not to be the imperial court, and the Qing army, Ling Jingyang waved his army north to Fenzhou.

Fenzhou was the base camp of the reserve corps before, but the reserve corps had disappeared from the imperial army, and the commander Zhang Luofu was transferred to Zezhou as the chief soldier, and the officers and men of the reserve corps were scattered into various troops, and Zhu Youzhen successfully took this army with the shadow of Ling Jingyang. Wipe it out.

Of the tens of thousands of reserve troops, only more than 2,000 people followed Mei Shifeng in the end, because Zhu Youzhen personally went to Fenxi County to pick up Mei Shifeng, Mei Shifeng was meticulous to Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen asked him to go east, but he would never go west.

Because Fenzhou is surrounded by Taiyuan Mansion and Qinzhou, as well as Ling Jingyang, and the reserve army has been disbanded, there are only families and people left in Fenzhou, and Zhu Youzhen wants to lay a nail here, but he can't do it.

In the end, he could only tearfully order the military and civilians of Fenzhou to be withdrawn to Pingyang Province, and then abandon this enclave.

Zhu Youzhen gave up Fenzhou, Ling Jingyang, He Zhen, and Jiang Hao divided Fenzhou, of which Ling Jingyang occupied Xiaoyi and Jiexiu counties, He Zhen occupied Pingyao County, and Jiang Hao occupied Fenyang.

The three of them divided Fenzhou and expanded their living space, but their strength did not increase, because Fenzhou was ten rooms and nine empty, and Ling Jingyang garrisoned troops in the newly occupied city, among which Li Rufeng was stationed in Jiexiu, Zhang Shun was stationed in Xiaoyi, and he personally led the Iron Fist Army to garrison Lingshi.

At the same time, Jiang Liang also sent the information about the infighting of the Ming army in the Central Plains and the righteous army in the occupied area of the Qing army to Ling Jingyang, who was grateful to Jiang Jiu for sharing information, and also envied Jiang Huang for getting this information.

He urgently needed to establish an intelligence organization, but there were no suitable talents to form an intelligence network for the time being, so while he was thinking about it, Zhou Yuanmao recommended himself.

He used to be an official in Hongdong County, but since he was demoted to the Iron Fist Legion by Ling Jingyang, his thinking and understanding have changed a lot, and he no longer blindly thinks that Ling Jingyang is a national thief, and he does not agree with the internal strife of the Ming Dynasty.

When he asked to see Ling Jingyang, he was stopped by Mei Shaozuo, who thought that he was a small man who was always qualified to see Ling Dudu.

But Zhou Yuan had to see Ling Jingyang, so he waited at the gate of the courtyard where Ling Jingyang lived.

Because it was not during the war, Ling Jingyang did not live in the barracks, but lived with Wen Yuanyang, this gentle woman brought him a lot of happiness and tenderness, Ling Jingyang thought many times, if he could take Wen Yuanyang back to the future, how good it would be.

On this day, Ling Jingyang went out to the barracks to have a look, and suddenly saw a young man waiting at the door with his legs shivering from the cold, and the soldiers standing guard at the door turned a blind eye to this person, Ling Jingyang stepped forward to take a look.

Is it Zhou Yuan?

"Zhou Yuan, you're not training in the barracks, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Huan shivered from the cold, but he still said to Ling Jingyang: "Governor Ling, a small request to serve the governor, and please give the governor a chance." ”

Zhou Yuan was about to be numb from the cold, Ling Jingyang asked the soldiers to carry him to the house, and let the soldiers burn a fire, Zhou Yuan roasted the fire in the warm room, and recovered instantly, he was a little embarrassed to look at Ling Jingyang.

"Du Du, the villain used to be clumsy, thinking that Du Du was a thief, but now it seems that Du Du is Yue."

Ling Jingyang stopped him and said to him: "How can I be qualified to compare with Yue Wu, you came today, do you want to come back from the barracks?" ”

"No, no, the governor, the villain is willing to charge with the brothers in the barracks, but the villain is more willing to travel all over the world for the governor and inquire about all sides of the information for the governor, so as not to be blinded by the governor in Lingshi County and not know the world."

The last sentence made Ling Jingyang understand his intention, he really needs an intelligence talent, but not everyone can take this position, he asked Zhou Yuan if he had any specialties?

Zhou Yuan touched his head and said, "Adult, the villain has an ordinary face, and if he throws it into the sea of people, the adult is afraid that he will not recognize the villain." ”

Ling Jingyang couldn't help but figure out Zhou Yuan's face, he was an ordinary person, and Zhou Yuan said that he could read and write, and he was also proficient in many local dialects.

This is a very good specialty, Ling Jingyang showed an expression that wanted him to show his hand, Zhou Yuan was very good at reading people's faces, and immediately greeted Ling Jingyang in a variety of dialects, did you sleep well last night?

Ling Jingyang repeatedly praised Zhou Yuan for his talent in language, but he said: "Zhou Yuan, it's not enough, if you want to work for me, I'll give you a task, if you can do it, I'll let you travel all over the world and listen to all directions, if you can't do it, you can only make you more capable of taking the position." ”

Zhou Yuan saw that Ling Jingyang intended to cultivate him, and hurriedly asked, "Governor, what task?" ”

"Starting tomorrow, practice swordsmanship with Mei Shaozuo, your three-legged cat kung fu, an ordinary sergeant can send you to the western sky."

Zhou Yuan followed Mei Shaozuo to practice Fusang knife technique, in order to let Zhou Yuan have forced physical strength, Ling Jingyang also deliberately improved his physical fitness, when practicing knife skills, three kilometers in the morning and evening every day, Zhou Yuan was trained by Mei Shaozuo to death, but for the belief in his heart, he gritted his teeth and insisted, he had to let Ling Jingyang take a look, he Zhou Yuan was also a man.

After the military and civilians stabilized, Ling Jingyang rebuilt the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Wang Bao and others worked for him in the Governor's Mansion.

At the same time, he did not give up production, the people brought by Zhang Shun were allocated land, and spring ploughing soon began, in order to protect the cultivated land and the people, Ling Jingyang personally led a team to the fields to protect the people from being attacked by other forces.

Spring plowing is also in full swing in other places, as long as it lasts until summer, a batch of grain can be harvested, and Ling Jingyang let the merchants such as the four major families go to trade.

But this time, the four major families and Fan Honghuo all said that there were not enough materials for trade, and Ling Jingyang needed to obtain a batch of materials before he could play the role of a businessman.

Ling Jingyang wanted to break his head, but he couldn't think of anything that could be used for trade, he summoned Fan Honghuo, which ones were the most valuable, Fan Honghuo replied that he was food, and population.

Food is valuable, but even if Ling Jingyang has food, he won't sell it, isn't this population a human trafficker?

Ling Jingyang scoffed at this kind of thing, but he suddenly remembered that if he didn't do the business of human traffickers, would there be other forces to sell people?

He asked Fan Honghuo, are there human traffickers in Shanxi?

Fan Honghuo told him without thinking that there were human traffickers everywhere, especially some thieves, who often went to rob people and sold them to large families as slaves, as well as brothels, the army, etc.

Ling Jingyang suddenly had a good way, he summoned Shi Tie, Li Rufeng, Wang Bao, Zhang Shun, and the four of them and said: "From today onwards, all troops and horses will exterminate the Liukou, and they will also kill human traffickers in the jurisdiction to rescue more people." ”

The four of them didn't understand Ling Jingyang's sudden whim to attack the traffickers, especially Wang Bao, he felt that the traffickers were hidden among ordinary people, and it was better to pull some strong men with this kung fu.

"Wangbao, the traffickers are all the most heinous people, kill them, and return the people to a stable life, more people will come here, you go back now, arrange the work of cracking down on the traffickers, and report the results to me in a month."

After the four of them took over the task, they didn't know how to crack down on human traffickers, only Zhang Shun had a way, and he and Li Rufeng said: "The governor asked us to crack down on human traffickers, but it's actually very easy." ”

Shi Tie was angry at him.

"How easy is it, how do we know where the traffickers are?"

"Let people come forward and spread gossip in the city, saying that the Governor's Mansion wants a hundred boys and a hundred girls, believe it or not, there will be traffickers coming to sell people?"

This is a good way, Li Rufeng, Wang Bao, and Shi Tie admired Zhang Shun's ghost idea, and the four of them immediately went back, let their subordinates come forward, spread rumors in various places, but secretly mobilized troops and horses, and set up cards on the main roads.

Sure enough, within half a month, more than a dozen human trafficker gangs were killed, and then a human trafficker gang lurking in the mountains of Fenzhou was terminated, and hundreds of people were rescued, as well as supplies in a cave.

The materials were given to the four major families and Fan Honghuo, and they were allowed to trade in various places, and the rescued people thought that they would continue to be sold by the official army, but the official army released them all.

They are also told to report to the government if they see human traffickers in the future, and the government will spare no effort to crack down on human traffickers and change the people's prosperity.

After the people returned home, they all spread the word that the governor was a good man, and after more people got the news, they dragged their children and daughters to Fenzhou to enrich the population and labor here.
