After Zhou Xian's consent, Liu Liu proposed thirty people from the prison, all of whom were middle and upper-class officials who had controlled the Jinzhou Prefecture.

The reason why Liu Liao made such a suggestion to Zhou Xian was not that he wanted to do so, but that his father Liu Lian was instructed privately. The reason why his Liu family had such a big family business was because they had a connection with the Qing army officials. At this time, their Liu family defected to Zhou Xian and was able to protect it, but most of the old friends who had contact with them in the past were imprisoned.

Some relationships are always talked about. And some people are worth it if they are in danger. Although these people are temporarily in trouble, some people are still very talented and knowledgeable. No matter which side is in charge of Jinzhou, there are some things that can be used for them.

The Liu family is business, and interests are the first priority. Expenditures and returns are the first things that Liu Lian must consider. In their eyes, this is always a business.

In fact, there are far more than these thirty people in contact with his Liu family. But Liu Lian reminded Liu Liu that if Zhou Xian agreed, when choosing a person, he must choose those who have good official reputations and whether they have a close relationship with the Liu family is considered in the second step. Only in this way, even if the Liu family has some selfish thoughts, it will not cause Zhou Xian's disgust.

While reporting the details of the people in front of Zhao Xusheng, Liu Liu was impressed by his father's foresight. As Liu Lian said before, this was a win-win business. The Liu family took the opportunity to connect these officials again, while Zhou Xian used them to re-establish the Jinzhou yamen system.

At least for now, everything is going very well.

After reading Liu Liao's report, Zhao Xusheng asked some questions. He found that the people Liu Liao picked were roughly okay, so he arranged some official positions for them. Although they were incomparable to their previous official positions, after more than a month of imprisonment and seeing countless people like them being pushed out to beheaded, their mood at this moment could only be described as ecstasy.

After Zhao Xusheng finished all this, he asked Liu Liao to accompany him to the forbidden area again and released more than 50 people. However, unlike Liu Liao's selection target, he chose lower-level officials who were usually loyal. After giving all their kindness and power, he arranged for them to return home and report to the government office tomorrow.

The sky was completely dark and the day went smoothly. Jimu led his troops into the city, but no whereabouts of the Qing army were found around, and all the people outside the city had entered the city.

Yu Qi was busy for a day with the help of Liu Liao. Although he did not examine everyone's identity, he also completed the 77888. Those with doubts in their identity were all imprisoned in the government jail. The remaining people were all placed in the schoolyard in Dongcheng. There was a vast area, with existing barracks to live in, and there were basic living facilities.

When Zhou Xian was about to have dinner, Yu Qi and Zhao Xusheng arrived one after another. He asked the two to sit down and asked Xia Shu to instruct the chef to prepare more food.

The house where Zhou Xian currently lives originally belonged to Li Lutai, but his family was not here except for a concubine. Gao Yi flew to win the Jinzhou, and this place became Zhou Xian's temporary residence.

Originally, there were many servants in the house, but those with a slightly higher status were locked up. Then Zhou Xian dismissed most of the servants, leaving only the original chef and two pretty good-looking maids. In the initial chaos in Jinzhou, more than a hundred personal guards also lived in the house with him.

After crossing the sea to Liaodong, he fought with the Qing army in succession.

The Xinzi Camp and Renzi Camp both lost nearly half of the soldiers, and the two thousand-man teams of the Yongzi Camp lost nearly 600 people. Only the Zhizi Camp was preserved intact and basically no losses. The Fourth Battalion plus the cavalry team led by Jimu had more than 3,500 soldiers killed in battle, and more than 400 people were seriously injured and could not fight again.

At present, there are only nearly 10,000 soldiers originally trained in Denglai. Moreover, this 10,000 people are still divided into two cities, Jinzhou and Lushun, with only about 8,000 old soldiers in Jinzhou. The remaining ones are Jimu's cavalry team, with more than 1,400 people and 8,000 fleet led by Lin Qingye.

Although Gao Jinsong surrendered, about 800 people surrendered and nearly 3,000 new recruits were recruited. However, these people were ruled by the Qing Dynasty for a long time and could not be fully trusted.

The disadvantages of military strength and the differences in combat qualities of soldiers all led to Zhou Xian's lack of advantage in facing Haoge. The lower-level soldiers may be full of confidence because they saw a series of great victory. However, the generals who knew the details of the enemy and us were not so relaxed. Zhao Xusheng looked like he had lost a lot of weight during this period.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, he no longer had the desire to move his chopsticks. "Military, I have seen those people proposed by Liu Liao. In the past, even when they were working with the Tartars, they did not have any excessive harm. Although it is not reusable, it is still OK to keep them stable in Jinzhou. I think Liu Liao is very loyal and should not have such a heavy mind."

Zhou Xian smiled, unable to deny it. "He may not, but his father Liu Lian is an old fox. When you are free, you will hit their Liu family for me. It is said that when the chaos is coming, the people on both sides often offend both sides. And either side will eventually take power, and they will not be spared. Since you have chosen my Ming Dynasty, don't have any other thoughts."

Zhao Xusheng nodded softly and continued, "Military Gate, I went there today, interrogated the dozens of Tartar prisoners, and discovered some interesting things."

During the Battle of Baiqiankou, the trench suddenly appeared behind the Qing army that was rushing forward, causing their retreat to be cut off. Under the counterattack of the Ming army's superior forces, the Qing army surrendered one after another, and there were some flag soldiers among them. The number was not large, only about 30 people. Later, the army retreated and they were escorted to Jinzhou City.

Zhou Xian was curious and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What interesting thing?"

"When I interrogated these thirty people, before I could speak, several people took the initiative to say that they wanted to surrender to our army. The subordinates were curious, so they asked carefully and found that they were all some rogues."

Zhou Xian nodded. Baoyi Aha means slaves, and his status is lower than that of the armored man who was surrendered. It is the kind of person who uses his body to block the arrows when he goes out to fight and fills the ditch with his life when he attacks the city. It is not particularly surprising that they choose to surrender.

Seeing that Zhou Xian was not interested, Zhao Xusheng continued, "Military Sect, among these people, there is one named Sakhana, who is the seventh son of Mangourtai."
