Chapter 309: Jubilation in the ruling and the wild

Moreover, there is another convenience for Huang Daozhou to serve as the governor of Henan Province. [] That is, although Huang Daozhou was born in Tongshan, Zhangpu, Fujian, and had no connection with Henan Province, his mother was from Henan, so Huang Daozhou could be considered half a Henan person. In ancient times, rural concepts were very important.

For Huang Daozhou, the identity of this half of Henan people was of great help to his work in Henan.

On October 10, the newly released governor of Henan Province took office with the imperial edict (committee) issued by Chongzhen.

Of course, there were only a few servants who came with Huang Daozhou, and only the wife of the wife of the family. It was a lonely person, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in Henan Province, where he was unfamiliar with him. But it didn't matter, there would be no problem with Zhang Linqi helping him.

At the welcoming banquet for Huang Daozhou by Wang Yinchang, Chen Yongfu and others, Zhang Linqi announced in public that a team of 200 people from Xichang were stationed next to the Governor's Office, and a thousand households were appointed to wait for the dispatch at any time, showing a strong position to support Huang Daozhou.

Of course, it was not enough to have these Western Factory players alone. Zhang Linqi ordered the deputy general of Henan Chen Yongfu to mobilize a thousand people from his troops to station in Luoyang and wait for the dispatch of the Governor's Office. Chen Yongfu also made a statement on the spot and firmly obeyed the orders of the general of Zhenguo. In this way, Huang Daozhou, the governor of Henan Province, was as steady as Mount Tai.

Among the people, there are 200 Western Factory men who serve the Governor's Office, and in the military, Henan Deputy General Chen Yongfu supported it. As for the Henan official group, the three words "Huang Daozhou" themselves represent a deterrent force. In this way, Huang Daozhou can gain a firm foothold in Henan.

After Huang Daozhou spent a transitional period in Henan Province and stood firm, he could well implement Zhang Linqi's policy of governing the country, turning Henan Province into a paradise where the people live a prosperous life and live in peace and prosperity. Secondly, he could use Huang Daozhou's hands to punish those corrupt officials.

The governor of Henan Province punished corrupt officials under his jurisdiction, which was justified.

Of course, Zhang Linqi made such a great effort in Henan with a purpose. He also learned from Li Zicheng's lesson. Although Li Zicheng had traveled through most of the original, he did not establish a stable base, so he was still a "bandit" after more than ten years of struggle.

Now, Zhang Linqi is not the case. Since he has taken over Henan, he must take this opportunity to turn Henan into a stable base and transform it from a poor province to a tax-based province. Of course, this will be a relatively long process.

However, as Zhang Linqi unfolded a few tricks, no one could deny that the spring in Henan has arrived!

After finishing the local affairs, Zhang Linqi has to deal with military affairs again. The first is to resettle prisoners. In this Luoyang war, nearly 100,000 prisoners were captured, most of them were young and strong. What should we do if so many prisoners are?

If it were other Ming generals, they would probably feel a headache. These 100,000 prisoners were useless, and they were eaten and abandoned with taste. Not to mention anything else, just feeding these people’s grain and rice consumed every day is a day.

It is also a very headache to convert them into an official army. After all, they are born into bandits and are used to being casual. It is difficult to manage them. But these problems are not a problem for Zhang Linqi. Do you have to feed these people to consume a lot of grain and rice every day? No problem, Chen Zilong has written several times to complain that the farm has far insufficient staff. If you arrange these people to a farm, the output will be far greater than the consumption. Even if a farm cannot digest so many people, it is no problem.

Just open a big farm again. In the Ming Dynasty, everything is lacking, but there is no shortage of land. The saying that the land is vast and the material is abundant is not something to be said.

These people are born into bandits and are used to being casual. Is it difficult to manage? It's okay. They are asked to go to the ground for five hours every day, and they are tired like dogs. I believe that no matter how hard they can blow up the thorn, they don't have the energy to cause trouble.

What if you encounter someone who refuses to go to the field? It’s easy to deal with it. The farm is not just a place for farming, but a semi-military base. If you refuse to work, you will be able to kill a hundred killing sticks. Are you willing to do it? If you refuse to do it, you will be pulled out and killed.

I believe that through such means, no matter who you are, you have to be honest and work diligently after you arrive at the farm.

On October 12, 14th year of Chongzhen, outside the town's military camp, there were bustling people. Although the people are busy farming now, a rare scene like this is still a rare scene. Moreover, the town posted notices everywhere in Luoyang City.

Yes, this is the time to show the strong strength of the town, how can we not make high-profile publicity? At Chen, the gate of the town's military camp opened, and a team of towns walked out from inside to maintain order. Then a team of prisoners began to emerge one after another.

The people began to point fingers: "So many prisoners, the town is so powerful."

"That's not, otherwise how could it be called a town!"

"My goodness, there are so many prisoners, I'm afraid there are nearly 10,000 people."

"Tsk, you don't have a notice of town, there are a total of 100,000 prisoners."

All kinds of discussions came one after another, but one thing was common, that is, they were all amazed at the powerful strength shown by the town. Moreover, this admiration grew higher and higher as the captive team grew longer and longer!

Moreover, the people also have a heartfelt love for the town because it is their own team! It is a team that decides for the people!

After a whole day, all 100,000 prisoners left the town camp and embarked on the way to the farm. With this high-profile publicity, the town's prestige reached a new height again...

After arranging the prisoner's affairs, Zhang Linqi began to take stock of the gains this time. Although it has been several days since the Luoyang Victory, the specific gains have not been clearly recorded, because the amount is too large. However, one thing is certain, this time the gains should be more than 10 million taels of silver.

I remember that during the Qing Dynasty, a treacherous minister was greedy and was greedy. When his house was finally confiscated, the amount was huge, so he left such a sentence, falling down, and Jiaqing was full.

And now, King Fu fell and Lin Qi was full.

Of course, Chongzhen also had to share such a huge gain, which would benefit everyone. Speaking of Chongzhen, he was very happy these days. Since he set out in the town, he has been looking forward to good news day and night. And he also firmly believed that Zhang Linqi would not let his hope down!

Sure enough, the good news came soon. Before most of the town could arrive in Luoyang, the vanguard troops led by Li Sicheng alone made a good start and eliminated 20,000 thieves! The good news came, and the whole country was jubilant. The atmosphere in the court was even more festive as the New Year.

The ministers led by Yang Sichang also congratulated Chongzhen in waves. However, Chongzhen said in a very good way: "It's too early to congratulate him at this time, and the greater surprise is still behind." Sure enough, within a few days, news came that Zhen and Li Zicheng were duel in Luoyang City.

For a time, the government and the country were discussing the results of this battle. Of course, there were only three results. First, Zhen Da wins, second, unbeaten or small wins, Li Zicheng's troops retreated. Third, Zhen suffers a loss.

Overall, the most people hold the second view. Because the facts are there, there are only 20,000 people in Zhenman, while Li Zicheng's army has a total of 300,000 troops. To put it bluntly, the suppression will kill the Zhen!

Of course, Zhen's strong strength is also obvious to all the government and the country. Therefore, most court officials' views are that after a relatively long tug-of-war, Zhen Xiaosheng won and Li Zicheng's troops retreated. As for the third result, there are not many people who dare to think about it. After all, the number of people on both sides is there!

As for Chongzhen, after receiving the war report, he did not make any comments, but he still did what he should do. Some ministers came to test his laws, but he did not make any statement. Only when his precious daughter Princess Changping came to ask him, Chongzhen laughed and said, if the town led by Zhang Linqi himself could not defeat Li Zicheng, then the town would not deserve to be called the world's number one army, and it would not deserve to be called the town!

Sure enough, three days later, when the 900-mile-rushing post was delivered, all the ministers in the court were reminded of what was the war ahead? Is it a victory or a defeat? Or a harmony? When the almost dead messenger struggled to say a sentence, when Li Zicheng's 300,000 troops were destroyed, the court and the country were ecstatic.

This once again proves that the town is an unbeatable and unsuccessful steel army. It once again proves that the town is worthy of being the white jade pillar of the sky and the purple gold beam of the sea. At the critical moment, it is able to fight tough battles and win battles!

In the court, only Chongzhen, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, looked calm, and the smile on the corner of his mouth proved his inner joy. Because he had expected this result, the only time that he couldn't grasp was the length of time. However, Zhen defeated Li Zicheng a few days after he arrived in Luoyang, which was something Chongzhen did not expect.

As his beloved general and son-in-law, it is reasonable for Zhang Linqi to achieve such a victory. After the initial ecstasy, Yang Sichang and others were already preparing the manuscript to exaggerate the good news. The ministers and generals who lined up to congratulate Chongzhen were even lined up in a long row!

Da Mingxing! Da Mingxing! In just a few days, the 300,000 thieves were destroyed. What is this if it is Da Mingxing! On the other hand, except for the casualties of a few hundred people, the rest of the town are still alive.

This is not a miracle and what is it!

Of course, with the war report, there was also a "bad news". King Fu was killed. King Fu, who had been entrenched in Henan for 20 years, died at the hands of Li Zicheng. Not only that, the King Fu family, thousands of people from all over the country, were killed by the traitor Li Zicheng. The King Fu family completely disappeared from this world!
