  Chapter 2603 The decanic scroll consolidates the base, wind changes

  Feng Ziying thinks she deserves her wife's flattery.

  If he only wanted to defeat the Jianzhou Jurchen in one fell swoop, without considering the future development of Liaodong, in fact, he didn't need to take such painstaking efforts.

   It is precisely because of the long-term layout for the future development of Liaodong, and the need to completely eradicate future troubles for the Jurchen in Jianzhou, that Feng Ziying took so much trouble to come up with a set of strategies combining large-scale relocation and construction.

  In addition to the rebels in Hebei, some landless farmers from Shandong and Fujian are also landing in Liaodong one after another.

  Of course, compared with the large-scale Hebei rebellion, the number of immigrants in these two provinces is much smaller, but it is also a measure of diversification of sources.

  Feng Ziying does not want the whole of Liaodong to become a nest of rioters. Even if they live for a long time, the thinking of these rioters will be changed, but he still needs to plan ahead.

   For a place to develop, in this era, as long as there is enough and fertile land for them to grow food, and it can provide the necessary security environment, it is actually enough.

Liaodong is undoubtedly such a place, but in the early stage, due to the threat brought by the border nomads and the relatively bitter cold climate, it was abandoned here. Liao, the development of this area is not bad.

Once the sea transportation is opened now, even if the entire Liaodong has such a strong logistical support as Dazhou, coupled with the rounds of battles where the army is stationed, the entire Liaodong, as long as it is not at the forefront, especially the front line from Niuzhuang to Liaoyang, has become A paradise for landless peasants.

The five-year rent-free policy announced by Feng Ziying and the ten-year continuous cultivation policy aroused great enthusiasm among the rebellious people. Many rebellious people have even written to relatives in their hometowns, bringing this policy to their hometowns and inviting them to those places in their hometowns. Relatives who are too crowded to make a living come here to make a living.

Even without this policy, the construction of roads, wharves, and subsequent construction of coal and iron complexes, cement factories, lumber mills, wood processing factories, car factories, horse farms, and car dealers will also place more demands on labor. It is possible to gather ginseng, pan for gold, dig medicine, and hunt fur in the forest itself. It can be said that it is much easier to make a living in Liaodong than in the Central Plains.

This is also the reason why landless farmers in Shandong and Fujian slowly accepted this place and began to move here one after another. If it is really a place where it is difficult to live in the bitter cold, even if Anfu merchants can coax them to come here, they will eventually stay. Can't live.

It should be said that the construction of the road from Niuzhuang to Liaoyang also played a big role. On the one hand, the construction of this road provided the most basic way for these people to make a living in the early stage, so that the whole family of these rioters could borrow This way of life, in the later stage they can open up wasteland along the roads, cultivate land and build houses, and the forests covering all around also provide them with inexhaustible timber resources.

  Up to now, it can be said that the construction and development of Liaodong has basically entered the right track. Of course, the ongoing war is not counted, and the rioters are still entering one after another, but there are not many follow-ups. Instead, they are replaced by landless farmers who voluntarily moved here.

   This once caused dissatisfaction among the provinces in the Central Plains, but with the clear support of the imperial court, this policy was still implemented.

   Without the support of this policy, it would be difficult for Liaodong to maintain such a momentum of rapid growth and development.

Although there is no exact calculation yet, if the rebels and the landless farmers from Shandong and Fujian organized by Anfu businessmen are included, the population settled in the Niuzhuang-Liaoyang line and Jiulian City will be only three in Wantong. Every year, it reached more than 90,000 people. Wantong moved in more than 30,000 people one after another in the first four years and five months. At most, seven or eight ships from Niuzhuang, Jinzhou and Jiulian City would arrive at Hong Kong every day. .

In the later period, the number of rioters decreased and the number of farmers who moved in automatically increased. According to Feng Ziying's prediction, if this trend can continue, especially after the settlement of Jianzhou Jurchen and the recovery of the original Shenyang, Tielingwei, and Anlezhou, the population of Liaodong will increase. It will reach about 800,000 in the next ten years.

A population of 800,000 is not worth mentioning for a province in the inland of the Central Plains, but the population of Liaodong, the highest peak of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is only 300,000. This is still a population including 100,000 garrisons, which is already an astonishing increase. .

"Okay, you Rongyan is worthy of your family's words. The situation in Liaodong has indeed changed a lot over the past year, but it has not yet reached a satisfactory level. According to your family's prediction, at least you will It will take three years to see the first results, five years to make some achievements, and ten years to reach a higher level, but it is still far away."

Xue Baochai also smiled slightly at Feng Ziying's words, "My concubine believes that Xianggong can achieve this goal the most. The court can choose Xianggong to take on this important task, but Xianggong will not just be confined to the old structure, always We must make achievements that make even the imperial court look up to us."

  Feng Ziying couldn't help but hold Baochai Roupin, "The one who knows me is also my wife."

The arrival of Baochai can be regarded as solving Feng Ziying's situation of no one in the middle. Miaoyu is a careless person, Tanchun is pregnant again, and there is only Xiuyan left. Baochai is here. Take up the heavy responsibility.

  In Liaoyang, as the official wife of the governor, Baochai's job is not just as simple as managing the back house.

  It is also an important job to make contact with the wives of generals.

Many generals' wives in Liaodong Town are in Liaoyang, including Guangning Road and Dongjiang Town. Their husbands are fighting on the front lines, and their wives and children are in Liaoyang. Well, drinking tea is also a way and means to get closer.

  Although Xiuyan is doing a good job, as a concubine, she is a bit powerless when it comes to external interactions, and Baochai's arrival perfectly makes up for this.

  Beginning in May, the first batch of cadets of the Army Officer Academy have graduated one after another and began to go to the Liaodong battlefield for inspection.

The first batch of trainees came from almost every border town, but the three towns of Denglai, Yulin, and Jizhen were the most numerous, and there were also many in the Beijing camp. The three towns are considered to be the border towns with the strongest control of the Feng family. In addition, after the major adjustment of the Beijing camp in the later stage, the Northwest Division entered the Beijing camp and the upper three relatives on a large scale, so these four should be the basic board of the Feng family, and Datong will retreat instead. Second.

The total number of the first batch of students was about ninety, and they were divided into two classes. One was the middle-level military officer class with more than 20 people, and the other was the junior military officer class, with the majority of the students below the thousand. More than sixty people.

  After the two classes graduated, they were directly arranged by the Ministry of War to Liaodong to conduct rounds of actual combat.

Denglai Town and Dongjiang Town itself have a large number of troops here, so the military attaches from the original Denglai Town can directly enter Denglai Town, and after Liu Dongyang took over as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, there is also an urgent need for a large number of middle and low-level military attaches to supplement and strengthen Liaodong. The situation faced by the town after the adjustment, so just these military attaches can be added.

  The second batch of trainees is training intensively, and the third batch of students has also entered the school to start training. It is expected that the second batch of students will graduate to Liaodong in October, and the fourth batch of students has also entered the school at that time.

This kind of short-term training is what Feng Ziying thinks can be done when the foundation of the entire army officer academy is still relatively weak. After two or three years, some outstanding students emerge and can take on the responsibility of teaching, then he will consider organizing a school. It is a long-term training course of two to three years.

"You mean that Chu Ying sent the news through your internal channels in Jianzhou Jurchen?" Feng Ziying couldn't believe it, and looked at Busia Mara who was calm and composed, "When did you also establish a strong internal relationship in Jianzhou Jurchen?" Is there a news channel?"

"Ziying, our Yehe tribe has always been in touch with the Jianzhou Jurchen, don't you know, or are you pretending not to know?" Busia Mara raised her eyebrows, "Don't say that you have no connections with the Jianzhou Jurchen." Informant, Li Yongfang plotted against tens of thousands of people in the past, are they all willing to serve the Jianzhou Jurchen? No regrets? Didn’t take advantage of the situation to sneak in? I don’t believe it.”

"Hehe, yes, although your aunt Menggu Gege passed away a few years ago, her son Huang Taiji is very much loved and trusted by Nurhachi, surpassing people like Manggurtai, Degelei, and Abai, second only to him. Yu Daishan, according to our information, if the Jianzhou Jurchen can survive, he is one of the most likely candidates for the Khan position of the Jianzhou Jurchen, and the other is Daishan, so now you say that Chu Ying can still have The movement, I find it a little unbelievable."

  Feng Ziying laughed and looked around.

  Although the Yehe tribe and the Jianzhou Jurchen are at odds with each other, they also have contacts. My father has noticed this when he was in Liaodong, but it is all within the controllable range.

Of course, Dazhou also has its own information channels within the Jianzhou Jurchen. Whether it is the Pedestrian Division, the Military Division, or the Long Jinwei, and even Liaodong Town and Dongjiang Town itself, they each have their own information channels to break into Jianzhou Jurchen.

Jianzhou Jurchen has made great strides in expanding over the years. The number of Han people in Jianzhou Jurchen has exceeded 150,000, and there are still a large number of Han businessmen who have explicit or covert business contacts with Jianzhou Jurchen, many of whom are also with Jianzhou. The Jurchen nobles go online directly and earn huge profits for them, so it is also indispensable for their own use.

   Li Yongfang's wanton activities in Liaodong have certainly caused Liaodong Town a lot of damage, but Feng Ziying will naturally treat him in his own way.

  When I was in the Ministry of War, I also instructed the Staff Party Division and Liaodong Town to form their own intelligence networks to enter Jianzhou, and Long Jinwei's side was their own separate channel.
