In three days, Zhou Qingfeng's light cavalry took over three cities. He tore off the weak facade of Daming's army. After a series of battles, he completely understood why the Ming court had to mobilize troops from all over the country to fight in Liaodong. It was because there were no soldiers available in Liaodong, and the three cities couldn't resist the surprise attack of his one or two hundred people.
The Daming army, which had been in power for a long time, was really rotten now.
Zhou Qingfeng led the cavalry to kill the resistance of the Gaizhou guards and rushed all the way back to the camp. When he appeared outside the camp, accompanied by the rumbling of horse hooves, Xu Bing, who had been staying at the base at the entrance of the camp, hurriedly ran out and asked in an extremely terrified voice, "Did you escape after being defeated?"
"Bullshit, have some confidence in me, okay?" Zhou Qingfeng shouted excitedly, "I've broken through the entire Liaodong peninsula and returned victorious. I've cleared all three cities on the western front of the peninsula, and our strategic depth has become extremely huge. "
Break through the entire peninsula?
You're bragging!
Xu Bing couldn't believe it at all.
However, Zhou Qingfeng stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder, saying, "Ming Jun is too lousy, really too lousy. He's lousy beyond our imagination. We all thought it was great that we could take down Lushun, but in fact, there were no soldiers guarding the three cities in Liaodong. They basically collapsed when they met us. I really broke through the three cities, and now those cities are waiting for you to take over. "
It took Xu Bing a long time to accept this fact. She reached out and hit Zhou Qingfeng's chest and said, "You seem to have grown a little taller. Your age has increased again? "
"Yes, my current body is equivalent to that of a fifteen-year-old." Zhou Qingfeng had grown to 1.75 meters tall, and a thin beard appeared at the corner of his mouth. The originally elegant youth had become somewhat like an adult.
He roughly told her about how he and Li Shuwei had discussed the land reform at the top of the city wall of Jinzhou and had attracted the punishment of heaven. "Heaven's punishment didn't kill us. Instead, it tempered us. Li Shuwei obtained thunder and lightning spiritual power, and my cultivation has greatly increased. "
This Heavenly Punishment was practically a gift.
"I've also advanced. I'm now at Stage Three Vitality. In fact, those who fought with you against Tian Fa that night more or less benefited from it. " Xu Bing sighed for a while before she slowly began to accept the fact that they had won a huge strategic victory. She originally thought that she would only be able to get a small Lushun, but in fact, she had obtained the entire peninsula.
"Tell me again, which places did you conquer in the past few days?"
"The Wei Suo Prefecture Capital of the three prefectures."
"Say it again. I like it."
"Jin Fu covers the three provinces. When I'm free, I'll take down Hai Province too."
"Say it again."
"I've taken down the entire Liaodong Peninsula!"
Yay … Xu Bing jumped three feet high in joy and shouted anxiously, "I'll go and make a migration plan. We'll first move to Gaizhou, then spread to the entire peninsula. We can accommodate an unlimited number of people. The peninsula can accommodate millions of people. "
When the news spread to Yingkou Base, all the personnel in the Revolutionary Army system went into a frenzy. Zhou Qingfeng took the opportunity to announce that as long as they joined the Revolutionary Army, they would be able to obtain farming rights of more than five mu of land per capita in the Liaodong Peninsula for free. They would not have to pay any taxes for two years, and after two years, the tax would not exceed 30% of the land. Those who made meritorious service in the army could get 50 mu of land.
This kind of land policy was completely a killing weapon!
As a farming race, the Han people's desire for land was something that nomadic and pirate races could not hope to achieve. From a small Yanhuang tribe in the Yellow River Basin to a huge civilization that dominated the entire East Asia, all the land suitable for farming was occupied by the Han people. Most of the ethnic minorities lived in the deep mountains and forests. It was not because they liked to be close to nature, but because the Han people were brave enough.
Those who praised the wild and powerful foreign races definitely had not really lived in the wild. Anyone who had tasted the days when they had no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and even an iron pot was a treasure would understand that only farming could allow them to live a good life in ancient times. Only then could they support enough social division of labor and develop a brilliant civilization.
"Eat his mother, wear his mother, follow the young marshal and don't pay for food."
When this nursery rhyme was spread everywhere in the Revolutionary Army's propaganda department, the entire Liaodong Peninsula was stirred. During the war, everyone was looking for a refuge. Especially the bottom of the society who had no assets, they were eager to get a piece of land to survive.
Originally, the people who sought refuge in the Revolutionary Army were only a few hundred every day. However, when Zhou Qingfeng seized the victory in Haizhou and opened the land passage connecting the other areas of Liaodong, a large number of people rushed to the peninsula like a tide. The number of people accepted every day continued to double. At most, it could accept tens of thousands of people a day.
The Ming Army all over Liaodong could only defend the city and watch the Revolutionary Army looting the villages without doing anything.
In order to reduce the death rate of these people, Xu Bing organized a large number of people to set up porridge stalls along the way. She also arranged tens of thousands of vehicles to receive them or used water transportation to reduce physical consumption. The Revolutionary Army no longer took care of these people. They directly let them enter the Liaodong Peninsula and only sent a small number of people to simply divide the areas.
Housing, rations, medical care, these things were all ignored. At most, Xu Bing arranged administrative staff to carry out simple restrictions on the population. A group of 100 people elected a group leader, and five groups elected a village chief to let them manage themselves. As for the conflict with the local landlords of the Liaodong Peninsula, the Revolutionary Army often suppressed the landlords by force and directly confiscated the land of the original landlords for redistribution.
Those who refused to obey were killed without the slightest mercy.
In September and October before the arrival of winter, the Revolutionary Army took in about 500,000 people from all over Liaodong. The specific number was not calculated at all, and it was impossible to calculate. In fact, when the news spread, not only people from Liaodong came to join, but even people from Liaoxi came. People from Shandong also came across the sea, just to get a piece of land.
With such a large population migration, Zhou Qingfeng did not refuse anyone at all. Although he knew that these people must be mixed with good and bad, and must be mixed with all kinds of bad people, and must be screened later. But as long as he had these people, he did not have to worry. In the end, it was still people who promoted the development of society. Without people, naturally, nothing could go on.
More than 500,000 foreign people plus more than 100,000 local people in Liaodong, the number of people in the area controlled by the Revolutionary Army was about 700,000. Most of these people had no clothes or food, and they were poor. If he completely ignored them, he was afraid that a large number of them would die, and it was easy to cause riots. In order to maintain their survival, Zhou Qingfeng decided to expand the army.
The goal of the first phase was to expand the Imperial Guard from 1,000 to 10,000, and it would be completed within half a month. The second phase was to expand from 10,000 to 50,000, and it would be completed within three months. The first phase of expansion was a regular armed force with knives and guns to protect the new Revolutionary Army. The second phase was simply unarmed militia. After simple training, they were put into the raging production and construction to build a new home.
Building roads, bridges, water conservancy, and new houses all needed manpower. Although the temperature in Liaodong began to drop significantly in October, it was impossible to hide in winter after eating. The Revolutionary Army took out all the money and food it had plundered to invest, and did its best to restore agricultural production on the peninsula.
Li Shuwei, a graduate of the Agricultural University, finally came in handy. He found several large baskets of potatoes in the technical school cafeteria in the time and space isolated island — as if he had found a treasure!
When Li Shuwei came out with several large baskets of potatoes, he shouted loudly, "We are f * cking saved. Although this thing is prone to virus degradation, at least it can still be planted for a few generations to ensure the yield. And as long as the seed potatoes are preserved and bud culture is done well, we can live on potatoes in the future. Uh … bud culture is a bit difficult, but we can try. "
The time when these baskets of potatoes were found was in the summer when Li Shuwei just came out of the time and space isolated island. At that time, he began to personally cut these seed potatoes into pieces to cultivate, expand the number of plants, and train the planting staff. When he evacuated from Fushun, he harvested five tons of seed potatoes from the two acres of potato experimental fields — the yield scared the indigenous agricultural technicians.
These seed potatoes were now the top secret of the Revolutionary Army and were properly preserved. Li Shuwei was waiting to finish the construction of the water conservancy facilities on the Liaodong Peninsula. When the spring of 1617 came, he would plant these 'trump cards' together with the corn — the corn also came from the technical school cafeteria in the time and space isolated island. Li Shuwei had also planted it as a treasure for a season.
In addition to Li Shuwei's killer weapon, the three time travelers whose strength had been greatly improved once again pulled all the remaining unlucky time travelers from the void outside the time and space isolated island. There were five people in total.
Two of the five were doctors from the hospital near the technical school, Deng Zhihong and Yu Hongyang, one each from internal medicine and surgery. Yin Hu, the vice principal of the technical school, was in charge of the students. Zhao Ze, a teacher of the mechanical repair class in the technical school. Shi Dong, a metallurgy teacher in the School of Mining.
The development personnel were finally gathered!
With the addition of these five people, the management work of Zhou Qingfeng and others was greatly reduced. Two doctors were kicked to form the health and medical department. Yin Hu set up the framework of the education department. Zhao Ze took over the engineering department, and Li Shuwei took over the agriculture department. Shi Dong became the head of the mining department. Xu Bing was in charge of the administration, and finally had the energy to put the establishment of the security department and the police department on the agenda.
The armed forces were still in the hands of Zhou Qingfeng, and no one would compete with him.
High-quality personnel gathered together, and the cruel reality of the end of the Ming Dynasty was in front of everyone. All the time travelers had to gather together and unite under the leadership group with Zhou Qingfeng as the core. Everyone's primary goal was to survive, followed by expelling the Tatars, and the ultimate goal was to rejuvenate China.
In addition, there was no need to mention the various small goals, such as the topic of a maid revolution was indispensable.
When the leadership group was formed, the ruling center of the 'Revolutionary Army' was chosen to be in Jinzhou, which was relatively far from the battlefield. The military focus was on Gaizhou City and Dandong. In particular, Gaizhou would be completely militarized because it would be under great attack pressure.
This series of changes took time to complete. In September 1616, when Zhou Qingfeng had just taken over the entire Liaodong Peninsula, what he had to do was to continuously migrate the population.
Tens of thousands of people continued to move deeper into the peninsula along the line of Gaizhou. Although most of them were shabby and dispirited, their hearts were all full of sparks of hope and eager to settle down in their new home.
The new problem faced by the time travelers was how to turn their technical advantages on paper into actual material advantages.
What did they have to do first? Mine, smelt steel, and make guns and cannons?
