In addition, hundreds of military households nearby have also fled. Now Zhenyuan City is like an investment promotion bureau that provides preferential policies. As soon as those preferential conditions are announced to the outside world, those who fled will be waiting for them.

The military household came to the door.

The Runing Army promulgated only their own second-class serf standards, but even this standard was much higher than the original standards of Liaodong military households. At least the Runing Army promised that they would never let anyone starve to death.

! And this promise is simply buying insurance for the families of those military households. However, this also shows how ruthlessly the original Liaodong Army exploited those military households.

However, as soon as this policy was promulgated, it immediately aroused the hostility of the Liaodong generals headed by Wu Sangui. In Liaodong, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is not rare at all. What is lacking is the population to cultivate it.

And those Liaodong generals have long regarded these military households as their own private property, and squeezed them for work in every possible way on weekdays; during wartime, they also recruited them to serve as soldiers. To be honest, if the men of those military households could

Living to be thirty is as good as winning a lottery jackpot. So it's no wonder those military households fled.

But this immediately angered Wu Sangui and the others. Originally, Wu Sangui and the others cautiously welcomed the construction of Zhenyuan City, but when the Runing Army endangered their interests, they immediately couldn't sit still.

Of course, the first step was to negotiate externally and control internally. However, the negotiations with the Runing Army in Zhenyuan City were completely rejected. Yu Ji also spoke out: We welcome fair competition and support the free choice of military households. It was Wu Sangui who passed

The supervisors rose up and pressed down, but Yu Ji still ignored them.

The control of military households is a bit more difficult. Isn’t it necessary to guard those military households day and night? There are not so many troops in a land as large as Liaodong! And after killing several fleeing military households

After that, the situation worsened, and the flight of those military households became organized and courageous to resist. The folk customs in Liaodong were also very tough. After suffering losses in several battles, the Liaodong soldiers who were interrogating also responded to this.

The escape incident opened my eyes and closed my eyes.

In fact, in the final analysis, this is also the short-sightedness of those Liaodong generals. They can completely improve the conditions and use similar conditions to retain the hearts of those military households. But these generals are unwilling to let themselves suffer even a little loss.

Therefore, the number of fleeing military households is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

On the Zhenyuan City side, relying on these defectors, nearly 10,000 acres of land were opened up before the beginning of spring. Although these lands are all raw land and the output this year is not expected to be high, it is still a good start.

A solid step has been taken towards the self-sufficiency of Zhenyuan City.

In addition to raising the height and strengthening Zhenyuan City, all the other manpower was used to graze the captured cattle and sheep. But in this way, Zhenyuan City's food supply continued to expand. For this reason, Chang Qiu's location

The Chang family's caravan also delivered goods to Zhenyuan City several times, so that they could barely maintain the balance of food and expenditure in the city.

In addition, the Runing Army in Zhenyuan City also launched an active military attack. With the guidance of the Mongolian recruits, and the information obtained from the Chang family and the Shanchuan Division's spy office in Shanhaiguan, the Runing Army formed a

A "hunting team" of more than 1,300 people conducted a sweep within a hundred miles of Zhenyuan City.

At this time, it was a good time for spring flowers to bloom. The nomadic people on the grassland were divided into small tribes grazing and could not form a large army. Therefore, they were repeatedly succeeded by hunting teams, plus those

The caravans trading with the Manchus and Mongols were unaware of this, so they were also intercepted by the hunting team.

Therefore, after four sorties, the hunting team intercepted six caravans, wiped out seven small Mongolian tribes with hundreds of people, effectively attacked the material supply of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia, and caused panic in the surrounding areas.

.

However, the action of intercepting the caravans also completely ignited the anger of Wu Sangui and other Liaodong generals. These caravans were protected by these generals, and they were charged a lot of protection fees, and some even had shares of these generals.

.So in this way, Zhenyuan City not only became a thorn in the side of the Manchus and Mongols, but also became a thorn in the flesh of the Liaodong official army.

When Wu Qi, Hardanbaat'er's troops and Fu Sheng's troops merged, they immediately embarked on their return journey. This time they hunted farther, more than 200 miles away from Zhenyuan City, so the danger was also

It has doubled. In addition, the Runing Army has obtained intelligence: In order to encircle and suppress this elusive hunting team, the Qing Army has sent 5,000 troops, led by a military commander, to the vicinity of Xingshan City. In order to

As long as the way back was not cut off, the hunting team traveled day and night for three days and finally returned to Zhenyuan City smoothly.

But as soon as they entered the city gate, a messenger came forward and reported: "Vice Commander Fu, Deputy Commander Wu, Master Ha, and Commander Yu are waiting for you at the City Lord's Mansion."

So the three people hurried to the city lord's mansion. As soon as they met Yu Ji, Yu Ji said: "Thank you for your hard work. But it will be too dangerous to suspend the hunting team's actions first before attacking."

"What's wrong?" Fu Sheng asked strangely.

"The officers and soldiers in Ningyuan City are very dishonest these days. They have come to provoke us several times on the edge of Zhuangzi, which we have just reclaimed. In addition, the Tatars have sent troops again, and it feels like a storm is coming. Let's take a moment to calm down.

Let’s wait until the storm has passed,” Yu Jidao said.

"Then have you informed the governor and Eunuch Gao? Let them restrain General Wu from Ningyuan City." Hardan Battle suggested.

But after hearing this, Yu Ji curled his lips disdainfully: "They are raised by their biological mother, but what we are dealing with here is the stepmother. It has been several months, and the food and salary that should be given to us in Zhenyuan City have been withheld.

Come on, I just want us to give up the hunting operation. Grandma! I want our Runing Army to bow its head, so they will have to hang out for a few more years!"

"Who appreciates the three melons and two dates they gave us? I said to Commander Yu, our harvest is pretty good this time, and we should be able to sell it for a lot of money! Give it to the Chang family and let them send us more food.

" Fu Sheng said.

"How can it be so easy?" Yu Ji said with a wry smile, "They are keeping a close eye on Shanhaiguan, and news came from the Chang family: It is definitely not easy to buy grain in bulk. Besides, the Chang family's price is so low, let's grab it

We also sold all the goods to them at bargain prices and bought grain from him at high prices. Even if we can buy more now, we can only suffer more losses. Although we have stolen a lot of things, how many more times can we sell them?
