Su Yan and the others underestimated the enthusiasm of the displaced people for owning a piece of land of their own, and in just one day, the more than 1,600 acres of land they copied were sold for nearly 1,600 acres, and the remaining 40 acres were basically low-grade fields with some remote locations.

Even the high-quality land, which is very expensive for the current homeless, was snatched up at the first time, and the opportunity to buy the high-quality land was only this time, hesitation would be given in vain, and missing it would be a lifetime, so it was no wonder that it was sold out in the first place.

"General, now that the displaced people outside the city have basically bought land, according to the contract, we can collect at least two thousand eight hundred taels of repayment income every year."

In the county office, Liu Wenmin said to Su Yan with some joy.

"The repayment income is just a trivial matter, and more importantly, we have also won the support of these 2,000 displaced people, if they want to completely own a piece of land of their own, they can only obey our rule, otherwise when the Qing army comes, their everything will be in vain." Su Yan said with a smile.

"The general's foresight is really admired by his subordinates." Liu Wenmin said.

"Don't be in a hurry to praise me now, Mr. Liu, you still need to work on the rental and distribution of seeds, farm tools and ploughing cattle."

"My subordinates know." Liu Wenmin bowed down and said, "But general, my subordinates think that seeds and farm tools can be provided to the displaced people for free, and we always have to give the people living space to live and work in peace and contentment, so that their annual harvest is either to pay taxes or repay, and in the end there is no one left, and the subordinates are still a little unbearable." ”

"Mr. Liu is kind-hearted, how can I bear to refute your request, just do as you say, and it can be regarded as relieving them of some burdens."

Liu Wenmin has this idea, Su Yan naturally will not refuse, he came to this world to get rid of the shame of the Han nationality in the next three hundred years, and at the same time, he also wants to end the war and strife, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment again.

In the next few days, Liu Wenmin and Li Daotai both ran to the south bank of Chanxi, personally guiding the displaced people to reclaim and sow fields and build houses.

Liu Wenmin and Li Daotai ran to the south bank of Chanxi every day, and the Zhongwu battalion led by Chen Shenggui in the south also successfully captured the key pass of Tianma Mountain, and cut down the surrounding trees, collected rocks, and strengthened the pass, and also set traps on the road to Yongchun, and sent scouts to go deep into the territory of Yongchun to investigate the intelligence of the Qing army.

In this exploration, the scouts he sent also succeeded in gaining some results, inquiring about some local customs and customs in Yongchun, and getting in touch with the local anti-Qing forces that were still active.

The anti-Qing forces here refer to the remnants of the Yongchun peasant uprising that began in the fourth year of Shunzhi (1647), and during the two years from the fourth year of Shunzhi to the fifth year of Shunzhi, armed peasant uprisings broke out in many places in Yongchun against the Qing army.

However, although they said that they were righteous soldiers, after several years of embarrassment to survive, they were almost no different from the bandits, even so, after learning that the Zhongwu Battalion scouts were anti-Qing armed personnel in Dehua County in the north, they all showed a warm attitude, and agreed with the scouts that if the Zhongwu Battalion was willing to go south to Yongchun, they would go out of the mountains to cooperate and fight against the Qing army together.

Under the perverse actions of the Qing army, the mountains of Fujian were almost everywhere with sporadic anti-Qing forces, and they did not lack the courage to fight against the Qing army, what they lacked was that there was a backbone force that could stand up and lead them.

This point, the country surnamed Ye who is far away from the sea can't do it, and I'm afraid that only Su Yan, who is still in Dehua, can do it in the future.

……

Quanzhou Mansion, Yacheng.

Pedal Pedal –

A rush of footsteps sounded in the Yacheng, and a herald quickly broke into the study of Zhang Xuesheng, the governor of Fujian, knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Governor, Yongchun is urgent!" ”

"What?"

Zhang Xuesheng put down the brush in his hand, looked up at the herald, and asked.

"Yongchun Zhixian has come to report that Dehua has been captured by the thief army, please send troops to quell the rebellion!"

"Dehua has been captured again?" Zhang Xuesheng frowned and said, "Submit it." ”

The herald handed over the general newspaper to the scholar who came to get it, and then turned to leave, Zhang Xuesheng took the military newspaper, opened it and checked it, and after only reading it for a while, he threw the military newspaper on the table and scolded: "It was captured on the first day of the first month of June, why did the news arrive today, it was really delayed!" ”

After the words fell, he shouted outside: "Come on, please go to the front hall to see me!" ”

About a quarter of an hour later, Ma Degong, dressed in official uniform, entered the front hall under the leadership of his servants, and he stood still under the hall, clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Excellency, Governor." ”

Ma Degong is already a banner man who has been incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Han Army (why is the Xiang Yellow Banner blocked), and Zhang Xuesheng is not a Manchurian, so he does not need to be too humble when facing Zhang Xuesheng, and he does not have to learn from the Manchu and call himself a slave.

Zhang Xuesheng nodded, raised his hand and signaled his servant to hand over the general report to Ma Degong, and said at the same time:

"Yongchun County ordered to report, Su Yan, a person from Dehua Lingtou, led the thieves to capture Dehua County on the first day of June, and seized the Tianma Mountain Pass on the 11th, and the Dehua squire Jiang Guanyu and others jointly requested the Qing Dynasty to send troops to recover Dehua County, Qi Song, are you willing to lead the troops to quell the rebellion?"

Ma Degong didn't answer immediately, he quickly checked the military report, frowned, and said: "Lord Governor, the last general only sent his deputy general Wang Manhan to lead 600 troops into Dehua to encircle and suppress Lin Rebellion last month, why didn't the military newspaper mention anything about it?" Could it be ......"

Before he finished speaking, he already had the result in his heart, since it was not mentioned in the military newspaper, then Wang Manhan and most of them were wiped out.

Zhang Xuesheng also thought of this, his face sank, and said: "To be able to completely annihilate the Wang Manchu Han Department and not leak the news, this Su Yan must not be simple, and he has never heard of this person before, could it be that he came from elsewhere?" ”

"In any case, since the adjutant general of the last general is planted in the hands of this person, this counterinsurgency should also be personally visited by the last general, please rest assured that within half a year, the last general will recover Dehua and annihilate this thief army!" Ma Degong said with his fists clenched.

"Good!" Zhang Xuesheng stood up and said, "I order you to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses from your headquarters, and the military horses of Anxi and Yongchun to enter Dehua to quell the rebellion!" ”

"Huh!" Ma Degong learned the way of the Manchurians, knelt on one knee, and promised to say.
