Chapter 305: Newly Established Huangzhou
Regarding Zhang Mazi's words, the rebels below were not only resentful to the Ming army, but also had a little confusion and confusion. Because they didn't understand, what did Goryeo have to do with them if they lost it.
Although they are Koreans, they have not enjoyed the good policies of the Korean government for a day. Instead, they are behind the enemy and live a good life. For them, it doesn’t matter which master you are on.
As long as they still live the happy life of not having to worry about food and clothing and women as they used to be, that would be enough.
Nowadays, as the sun rises, the fog in the forest is slowly rising. I wonder if the rebels patrolling the forest are dazzled, but suddenly they see that the low shrubs seem to have moved a little.
"Look, are the bushes moving?" Rebel Ceng said to his companions beside him.
"Are you so hungry that you're dazzled? How could the bushes move?" Rebel Ding flatly denied the other party's speculation.
Lack of food and clothing is the norm for the rebel army now. Each person can only eat one meal a day. If you want to eat meat, you can only expect your companions to die. Unfortunately, eating human flesh is still very resistant to them.
After all, they are all companions who live together day and night, and humans are not animals without emotions. Seeing the other person below, it is easy to think of the fate of their own death.
"Okay! Maybe I'm dazzled." The Rebel Army C also agreed with the other party's words. But after moving forward a few steps, the grass behind them suddenly grew taller quickly, but it was a man with a branch on his head.
Before they could notice it, they rushed up from behind.
At this moment, such scenes are staged everywhere in the forest, and more and more bushes are beginning to head towards the deserted village in the forest.
Zhang Mazi is resting in a fairly intact dilapidated house. When she is not full, it is the wisest choice to try to move as little as possible.
But suddenly a scream rang outside the house and soon became dense.
Even the person who reacted the slowest would notice that the situation was not good at this moment. Zhang Mazi was always on guard against Ming Jun coming over and immediately sat up from the bed.
As soon as he left the room, he saw Mingjun wearing branches chasing the ragged rebels. His first idea was to hide quickly, but his figure had been seen by the Mingjun, so a feather arrow shot towards him.
Zhang Mazi hid quickly, and the feather arrow struck his cheek and inserted it hard on the door panel.
At this time, it would not be so easy to hide it back. Zhang Mazi also knew this and immediately fled.
But after a few steps, a big knife slashed over. He couldn't dodge, and Zhang Mazi was slashed hard in the head, and immediately he was bleeding.
After the rebels in the entire village were flattened, Tuoheihua immediately burned the piled up bodies. Then he said to a person dressed in a rebel army: "Very good, this is the fourth rebel stronghold we have swept away. The great contributions made by the people in Yaqiu Village this time will be reported to Wanhu Zhang truthfully."
The man immediately thanked him and said many words of loyalty.
When Ulutus led the garrison into the territory of the capital, the rebels in the rear had almost been wiped out.
Although there are still some fish that miss the net, they can also solve the problem by relying solely on local security forces.
At this time, the new surrender ceremony sent by the king of Goryeo also arrived.
Of course, there are also words to express loyalty, but more people still hope that the Ming Dynasty will recognize the established facts and that the two countries will be as reconciled as before.
The navy also marched from the rear, and the speed of the Northern Army from the eastern coast was no worse than that of the Southern Army. Along the way, they followed the orders of Ulutus and did not leave any rebels. Such ruthless methods scared the rebels who were most of them taking advantage of the situation to rob them.
The fake Goryeo kings and puppet court officials who were hiding in Nanjing were even more afraid that the Ming army would kill them after they caught them, so they were impatient to express their surrender first.
Ulutus's response was very simple, he opened the city gate, disbanded the army, tied his hands, and came to apology in person.
No one dared to agree to the request of the Ming army in this way. Moreover, the Ming army's massive killing behavior was really scary, and they did not dare to gamble at all. So they could only resist, and at the same time, they completely tore up the hypocritical side within Goryeo, and sought food and property from the surrendered factions and centrists.
Such a move immediately hit many wait-and-see schools. At the same time, it also caused the enemy and us within Goryeo to be significantly differentiated and began to become chaotic.
After learning about this, Ulutus made the troops below not rush to march. At the same time, he ordered a new state to be established with Kaicheng as the center, and the prefecture was set up in Kaicheng. The Immigration Department was also established as soon as possible to connect with refugees in Shandong Province who urgently needed relief.
The navy stationed in Dalian Port and Dengzhou Port began to vigorously transport the people to the newly established Huangzhou. Pingzhou, which was once vast and sparsely populated, was also within the scope of resettlement of immigrants this time.
Considering that local production still needs to be restored, the initial new immigrants in Huangzhou could only receive 200,000. Although there was no war in Pingzhou, some of the money and grain needed to be supplied to the front line, so only 150,000 were resettled.
For the Shandong Province, which already has millions of refugees yet to be resettled, the removal of 350,000 at once also greatly alleviated the resettlement pressure of local governments.
It is just because the weather has warmed up, there are more refugees going to Shandong Province. In particular, the number of victims living in Shandong Province is more than in winter. Even though there are large-scale bandits raising flags and rebelling in Hebei/Henan, which dispersed many refugees who should have gone to Shandong Province, more refugees set out on the way to Shandong Province.
In Kaicheng, Ulutus began to resettle immigrants while constantly receiving war reports from the front line. Huangzhou, the first state in the Jiangnan province, which was completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty, was also urgently formed.
Many officials were almost directly transferred from Pingzhou. Their positions were replaced by those Jinshi who were on the list in the old year.
After so long observing politics, these new Jinshi were familiar with the government affairs procedures and handling matters of Ming Dynasty. Now it is time to stand alone.
