Guangzhou is recovered and able to return to their hometown. This is the common wish of the people of Guangzhou who live here. When the news of Guangzhou's recovery came, it triggered a wave of celebration. But after the celebration, there was no doubt about when they could return to their hometown.

, the common people still inevitably feel a little worried - although they all trust Chen Kai, after all, this time is said to be a joint operation of the Ming army, and with the status of Guangzhou City, there will always be people for this.

Fight for it.

The uneasy mood did not last for a few days. The governor's office of the four Zhangquan and Chaohui prefectures in Chaozhou City issued a notice to all residential areas of Guangzhou in Chaozhou, stating that Chen Kai had negotiated with Li Dingguo, the king of Xining, and the governor's office would dispatch them in batches.

The ship escorted the people of Guangzhou back to their hometown. When the government order was issued, there was a sea of ​​joy wherever it passed.

In the southern part of Chaozhou Fucheng, in the land where fighting broke out over land, official vacancies and other reasons, the water canal from the Han River divided the residential areas of Guangzhou people and the villages of Chaozhou people into two. The river flowed quietly.

At each fork in the road, it is like the aorta branching into capillaries, blending into the fields on both sides.

A wooden bridge was built over the canal, and people were always coming and going on the bridge. Basically, the people in Guangzhou were no longer willing to do spring plowing, and they mostly did odd jobs for the surrounding Chaozhou landowners and farmers.

Some go to trim the field ridges, some clean up weeds, and the most common ones are to help build and maintain the acres used for rice paddies and fish farming. Compared with Chaozhou, where large-scale emergence has just been a year or two ago, this is nothing in Guangzhou.

What’s so rare is that many people are experts, and the advice given by some veteran farmers is even more effective than the technicians trained in quality inspection schools.

The great victory did not affect local production and life. Although it was still in the first month of the year, preparations for spring plowing had already begun early, and there was a busy scene everywhere.

As the sun sets, people working part-time jobs in Guangzhou are returning home one after another from the bridge. Tiredness is unavoidable. Farm work is never easy, but walking on the bridge, everyone is filled with joy.

smile.

"I made an agreement with my employer that wages will be paid every day, unlike last year when we were paid every five days."

"You told him yesterday that he was leaving soon, but you couldn't decide on a date?"

"Of course, the governor's office has issued an order. If he doesn't obey, I won't do it for him. Anyway, it's just odd jobs. There's no way he can do it."

"..."

On the bridge, two men spoke with local Guangzhou accents and chatted about wages. There were also a few men who had just gotten off the bridge, but they had already thought about it much earlier.

"Hey, after four years of separation, I really don't know what's going on over there at Zhuangyuanfang. Have they been ruined by those dog feudal soldiers?"

"It's really hard to say. Haven't you heard someone say before that those bastards are raising horses in the city? Bah, that's Guangzhou City, where merchants gather. They have always been extremely wealthy, and they actually use it to raise horses.

horse!"

"It's good to raise horses. When the city was broken four years ago, there was a massacre. How many people were killed? This time the city was broken again. I heard that the king's division who entered the city also killed those dog feudal soldiers and their sons of bitches.

After killing a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, even that Shang Ni was beheaded. Relieving the qi, it is really relieving the qi, but so many people died, fearing that it would affect the feng shui in the city, and if it was not safe, we still had to ask the master in the temple to do it

Do the right thing to ensure the safety of your home."

"Actually, it's okay to go to the temple and find a Taoist priest. Forget about wandering Taoist priests. For such a heavy evil spirit, you must find a Taoist with immortal style and great supernatural powers to control it."

"..."

People walked by in twos and threes, and on the other side, several Chaozhou people gathered together. Looking at the Guangzhou people leaving in the distance, they couldn't help but whisper.

"I heard that when they go back, they will be compensated with twice the amount of land, hehe."

"There were so many people who died in Guangzhou back then. These people were lucky enough to survive, so there's no point in envying them. Besides, when you go back, your original belongings will be gone, so why don't you want to start a new business?"

"That's right. If you have time to sigh, you might as well think about coming back and buying a piece of land."

"You still think about this? The government really put it up for sale, and all the good land fell into the hands of those gentlemen."

"Just picking up a piece of cheap stuff is a share of the family, why don't you let me think about it?"

"..."

When he came four years ago, the local affairs were heated, and there was even a dispute between natives and guests. Chen Kai used his personal prestige to suppress it. Now, Chen Kai has fulfilled his promise. Most of these people living here have harmonized with the surrounding environment.

The people of Guangzhou, whom everyone is familiar with, are about to embark on a journey back to their hometown. It is okay for those who have less worries, but for those who marry local wives or marry local men, they or their wives

Family members will inevitably have to bear the loss of family affection.

The people were either happy or worried. Soon, Chen Kai issued an order and appointed several officials from the governor's office and Zan Hua as local officials of Guangzhou Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture. Their first task

The mission is to organize the Guangzhou people in Chaozhou to return home.

When he first left Guangzhou, Chen Kai organized the people based on lanes and lanes. This time, the governor's office still organized the drawing of lots based on lanes and lanes. Those who were drawn in front went first, and those who were drawn in the back went last.

After the day passed, it was already February. The local garrison was dispatched by the governor's office to escort the people from Zhuangyuanfang who were the first to be drawn. They came to the pier in the south of Chaozhou Fucheng and boarded the boat step by step to join those heading to Guangzhou and Huizhou.

The Bailihous who went to take office went down the river together.

Most of them had already seen the scenery on both sides of the Han River when they came. But after leaving this time, most of them may never return in this life. For this piece of shelter in their days of wandering in a foreign country,

The place can already be seen at a glance.

"Goodbye, Chaozhou, we are going home!"

The boat went down the river, then at Haicheng and Nan'ao, transferred to a sea-going ship that could withstand offshore waves, and sailed slowly westward.

Chaozhou has hosted a large number of Guangzhou people in recent years. In addition to this place, there are also more than 10,000 people living here in Zhongzuo. Chen Kai has written a letter to Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Chenggong has also ordered the organization of sea shipping. However, Fujian's ships

It has been too busy recently. Whether it is a short sea or a long sea, whether it is a warship or a civilian ship, it has been so busy that there is no necessary maintenance and no time for the crew to rest. Naturally, the shipping capacity that can be squeezed out is very little.

of.

Chen Kai left in September, especially when he officially set off from Nan'ao Island to Guangzhou in early October, so he knew very little about the situation in Fujian.

From the beginning of October to now, in three or four months, Fujian has undergone huge changes, and there are very few places that can change. In Tingzhou Prefecture, the Ming army followed Chen Kai's arrangement before leaving, and jointly exerted pressure from the north and south.

, gradually eroded all the county towns except Tingzhou Fucheng, and the health station has compressed the Tingzhou Green Camp and part of the Southern Gansu Green Camp that came to Tingzhou Fucheng.

In Jianning Prefecture, Zheng Chenggong fought with the Qing army who came for reinforcements in the twelfth lunar month. With the advantage of his military strength, Zheng Chenggong expelled the Qing army from Jianning Prefecture and controlled Xianxia Pass. However, Jianning

The checkpoints connected to Jiangxi in Shaowu Mansion and Shaowu Mansion were still in the hands of the Qing army. The Ming army launched several attacks, but it seemed that the Qing government had issued strict orders so that they would never dare to give up these last efforts in Fujian.

In the controlled area, several fights were fought with high intensity, and the Ming army failed to succeed in the end.

Recently, the war zone has calmed down, but the Fujian province has been severely damaged by the economic war in the past two years. Earlier, before the Ming army turned its back and disowned its people, these problems were all the responsibility of the Fujian officialdom of the Qing court.

, they don’t pay much attention to this, they clean it up and they clean it up, and those who open porridge shops open porridge shops, but in the final analysis, the recruitment of money cannot be cut off, and everyone is pointing to this to make a fortune.

But now, the Ming army has regained almost all of Fujian. While the control area is rapidly expanding, it is inevitable that this burden will be carried on their backs. They must resume local production, especially agricultural production. At least they will have to last until this summer's harvest. And

Considering the old situation of Fujian, which is originally a grain importing province, it is only slightly alleviated.

In Fuzhou City, Zheng Chenggong has begun to move the headquarters of the military and political affairs here. This is because the Zhongzuo Institute is too remote in today's Fujian battlefield. If he wants to better control the overall situation in Fujian, Fuzhou is the best choice.

The headquarters for recruiting the general was built in the west of the city. It was not too far from the dock and could send and receive messages faster. At this moment, looking at the relevant reports sent one after another from various prefectures and counties in Fujian, Zheng Chenggong's

His head has grown a few inches, and the officials sent out are asking for money and food everywhere. Now the inventory of Zhongzuo Institute, Quanzhou Prefecture, and Zhangzhou Prefecture is plummeting, and it is sent to Fuzhou Prefecture and Jianning Prefecture via Minjiang River.

, Shaowu Prefecture, Yanping Prefecture and other places have an endless stream of ships, and the busy waterways are no less generous than before the Qing army entered the pass.

Above the festival hall, Zheng Chenggong is standing high, and a large number of officials and staff are listed below him, such as Zheng Tai, Lu Ruoteng, Shen Quanqi, Ye Yiyun, Pan Gengzhong and so on.

"Today's discussion of food and salary will not be discussed for now. I believe that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. During this period, your country has clarified the general affairs, and has benefited a lot from the help of all the kings. However, according to intelligence, the imperial court

Prince Jidu of Prince Heshuo Zheng has been dispatched to lead the Eight Banners Army southward. The captive army is still on the way, but our country must start preparations as soon as possible, so we will no longer deal with these civil affairs after five days."

"My Lord has decided to appoint Lu Gongruoteng, the former governor of Wen, Chu, Ning, and Taifu in eastern Zhejiang, and the Minister of War, to act as governor of Fujian, responsible for overseeing the overall civil affairs; appoint Ye Yiyun, the deputy governor of Zhangquan, to act as the chief envoy of Fujian;

Appointed Pan Gengzhong to recruit the generals to join the army and act as the inspector of Fujian; appointed Chen Ding, the professor of Guangdong Chaozhou Fuxue, as the academic advisor of Fujian; appointed Shen Quanqi, the former right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Fujian patrol inspector, as the deputy inspector of Fujian, and promoted all

Provincial Huimin Pharmacy. These appointments were immediately sent to Anlongxingzai by the National Association for approval by the emperor and the court."

Regarding the approval, given the current decline of the Ming court, it can basically be said that there is no possibility of being inaccurate. What's more, now the Zheng Group has joined forces with Li Dingguo in advance, and the two have formed the largest royalist faction within the Ming court.

The two pillars are the existence that the imperial court continues to rely on. Not to mention Zheng Chenggong recommending governors, chief envoys, etc., even if he recommends a governor, an administrator, or even a grand master, the court will not recommend it.

There will be too much dissent.

This is equivalent to the appointment being issued. The appointments of other lower-level officials will be announced in the form of official documents. All the officials who were appointed here stood up and bowed politely to Zheng Chenggong's recommendation, including today.

Five days later, they completed the construction of each yamen and could officially take charge of the civil affairs affairs of Fujian Province.

"The appointment has been issued, you all need to seize all the time. Next, continue to discuss the relief matters in Sha County, Yanping Prefecture..."

Since conquering Xianxia Pass, Zheng Chenggong has handed over all military affairs to the front-line generals, and he rushed back to Fuzhou to take charge. As expected, the earlier devastation continued to be heard as the sounds of hunger continued, and the internal pacification work

It quickly replaced military offensive and became the most urgent problem in Fujian.

Focusing on recruiting the generals, Zheng Chenggong appointed prefecture and county officials, and through these local officials of the Ming court, he achieved control over various places. The work of pacification and relief was carried out step by step, complicated, but not incompetent, until Chen Kai

Before the letter was sent to the case, Zheng Chenggong clearly understood the current attitude of the western Guangdong civil servant group and even the bureaucratic group in the imperial court from between the lines, and made the relevant appointments without hesitation.

Of course, the governor's yamen still has to answer to him, not the imperial court far away in Anlong. This is a matter of distance, but also a matter of reasonable use of resources and rights. However, Zheng Chenggong does not have a Magui or Mangui for the time being.

Ma Shilong once held the official position of Wu Jinglue, but his title of General Recruitment actually gave him the right to control the military and political affairs of a party.

The meeting lasted for a long time, and relevant measures were sent out as quickly as possible. The Ming army's strength in Fujian was not weak, but if the people could not be comforted, there would be wars everywhere. When there was a strong enemy outside, they would only

I'm afraid it may not be any better than Liu Qingtai and Tong Guoqi.

During the reconstruction of Fujian's administrative system, these officials all had a close relationship with Zheng Chenggong. In addition to these people, other officials were also busy with the military and political work that suddenly emerged for the expansion of the entire Fujian. Herein

Feng Chengshi, for example, bears a great responsibility. The Ordnance Bureau he is responsible for supplies weapons and armor for tens of thousands of troops. The daily consumption alone is an extremely huge number.

After last year's blind overtime work, the Ordnance Bureau's production capacity has gradually returned to its original state with the recovery of the system and the continuous recovery of the craftsmen. However, the lifelessness inside is still there.

In the official room of the Ordnance Bureau, Feng Chengshi was writing furiously. After the battle in the second half of last year, the Ming army seemed to have begun to focus on counterattack. To this end, Feng Chengshi planned to restart Chen Kai's plan - continue to copy the spirit gun.
