Just when the Liaodong Metropolitan Division was arranging troops to the lower reaches of the Tumen River according to the order, Chen Yongfu chased after Haoge's scorched earth traces and chased them unhurriedly.

It was not that Chen Yongfu was not impatient, but that he needed to constantly divide his troops in order to bring together the Korean people and local officials, and at the same time confiscate the property and land of pro-Qing officials and other guilty ministers and distribute them to the people.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer men under his command.

Chen Yongfu repeatedly wrote to King Ding, hoping to send more manpower, but King Ding was not in a hurry, but just followed the line of Haoge and Chen Yongfu step by step, patrolled at a slower pace, and adjusted and improved the land policy.

Everywhere they went, the red people who were assigned to the land rushed out to worship the Dingwang honor guard, which made the speed of travel even slower.

King Ding looked at the elated people, felt their support, and was in a good mood, so he walked out of the guard of honor from time to time and went to the village to inspect it in person with the respect of the prince.

Constantly deepen the weight of the Ming Dynasty in the hearts of the Korean people.

In addition, because the big clans of Korea were purged twice by Hauge and King Ding, there were no officials in Korea from the central to the local level.

With a royal order, King Dingwang promoted countless talents and people from the cold gate, and directly enriched the yamen everywhere in the place.

A new political group was formed.

The high-ranking officials of the provinces were all military generals and civilian temporary positions in the army of the Korean army, and the implementation of various policies was not met with any resistance.

Seeing the slow pursuit of the Ming army, Hauge was happy to be relaxed, and swept wildly, and wherever he passed, he could no longer find a complete house, and he could not see any poultry and livestock.

Jian Yu looked at the more and more abundant loot around him, and firmly believed that in the future, when he arrived at the West Sea Jurchen, or even the more desolate north, he would not have to worry about food and clothing.

With a small step of satisfaction, we walked along the coastline towards the mouth of the Tumen River.

Chongzhen, who knew Haoge's movements well, didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.

A small Hauge, a mere 2,000 crazy remnants, doesn't need him to care about it at all.

Any general soldier of the Ming Dynasty can clean them up.

What's more, King Ding and Wu Sangui are still staring at North Korea, and Haoge will definitely die.

Chongzhen issued an order to let the 30,000 Korean troops leave 5,000 people to garrison after the New Year, and the rest of the troops together with 30,000 Korean soldiers all came to Guannai to prepare for war.

The families of the Korean criminals, as well as a considerable proportion of the wealthy landlords, were also ordered by Chongzhen to move to Guannai, leaving behind a large area of land.

A place has been reserved for future immigrants in Kannai.

After the Great War, after the internal migration of hundreds of thousands of people, after the settlement and reproduction of the people in Guannai, and after the Korean people gloriously called themselves Han Chinese, the Korean Peninsula was completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty, and there was no possibility of independence.

At this time, Chongzhen finally returned to the team slowly and methodically before the guard of honor entered the customs.

The emperor's honor guard, which led thousands of people, entered the Shanhaiguan Pass in a mighty manner.

The military officials waiting at Shanhaiguan and the general army of Shanhaiguan reported the corresponding military affairs of the Liao's return to the south, and only then did they let go of their hanging hearts when they saw Chongzhen's satisfied nod.

"Let the army continue south, camp in Jinan, Dezhou and other places to eat, and send after listening." Chongzhen commanded.

As soon as the officials of the Ministry of War heard this, they knew that Chongzhen was preparing for a southern expedition.

The two vassal kings in the south usurped the throne, and the cabinet and the six ministries had already prepared everything, just waiting for the emperor's order to go south to quell the rebellion.

If it weren't for the approaching New Year, the Jingshi civil and military troops would have been able to build a wall.

Chongzhen calculated the time, tomorrow is the Laba Festival, it is impossible for him to rush to Beijing for the festival, only issued an order to let the prince be in charge of his life, and he does not have to wait for him.

He himself took Laba porridge and worshiped the Ming soldiers who died in battle here at the head of Shanhaiguan City.

Although the civilian officials in the army have quite opinions, but now that the emperor has unparalleled martial arts and martial arts, his momentum is flourishing, coupled with his stubborn temperament, few people have come out

Deter.

The generals were very excited, and the emperor did this, which would definitely further improve the status of the generals, and now, when the generals saw the civil officials of the same level, they were no longer as humble as before.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, Chongzhen ordered to put away the emperor's guard of honor and march towards the Beijing division at a relatively faster speed, for no other reason, because it is almost the New Year!

Generations of royalty attached great importance to ceremonies and sacrifices to heaven and earth, which was not only related to the dignity of the royal family, but also an important way for the emperor to strengthen the legitimacy of the dynasty. The Ming Dynasty, a dynasty with Confucian culture as its orthodox ideology, naturally attached special importance to the Spring Festival.

At this time, the surrounding area of Gyeonggi is very busy, and both officials and ordinary people are actively preparing for the New Year. In the Gyeonggi area, a large number of sedan chairs, horses and people are flowing endlessly. Those who sit in sedan chairs and ride horses are very busy.

The domestic servants of the officials delivered gifts to the superiors of the lord's family, the clansmen, and the in-laws, and the people also moved around frequently because they had no worries about food and clothing, and it was a scene of prosperity.

The old people looked at the new atmosphere and sighed that in just one year, Emperor Chongzhen changed the north and the earth.

Some sour literati disagreed.

Because after Chongzhen drove away Li Zicheng, he locked up the civil and military who surrendered and broke into the thieves, which made them very indignant, thinking that Chongzhen's arrest of officials was a sign of the country's demise.

It's just that Chongzhen is now infinitely powerful and resolute, and these sour and rotten literati are very obedient on the surface for the sake of their own family's lives.

Later, Chongzhen issued a decree to exempt the three salaries and the field tax, but added the commercial tax, and the literati began to criticize again, accusing the imperial court of abandoning the agricultural tax that had been passed down for thousands of years, but focusing on the small commercial tax, which was a sign of the end of the world.

Look at the implementation of the commercial tax like a joke.

After that, Emperor Chongzhen actually ordered the cultivation of traditional crops to be stopped, and forced the cultivation of so-called potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. They watched as the seeds were replaced by the people, and they secretly left a lot of land and secretly planted wheat and millet that could make them feel at ease.

Who would have thought that the income from commercial taxes would soon exceed the income from the fields, and the new crops of the people would also be surprisingly high, and the people who secretly kept the land would regret it to death, and suddenly understood the meaning of being clever but being mistaken by being smart.

It was only at this time that the old-fashioned literati finally agreed with Emperor Chongzhen.

But the good times didn't last long, and Chongzhen, who was probably "proud and complacent" after a series of victories, actually wanted to attack the powerful Jianyu in winter.

It's worth it.

Such a self-defeating style made most of the literati frightened, and they dug cellars to hide furniture, lest the emperor be defeated and the prisoners entered the customs again to plunder.

Who would have thought that in just two months, the Jianjiao, who had been plagued in the north for decades, would be wiped out, freeing up millions of hectares of fertile land for the Chimin people in Guannai.

The emperor also rushed to return to the court before the Spring Festival.

It is said that in this war, not only did it not cost two taels of silver, but also netted millions of silver.

So far, not only did the people go to the newly built imperial temple every day to offer incense, but all the literati have also become devout disciples of the heavenly temple.
