Chapter 26 Golden State Guard

"What? Sanbeile was injured by Ming army artillery and fell into a coma. He has already left Jinzhou?" Li Yongfang, the guard of Jinzhou, was dumbstruck when he received the information ahead.

"Even Sanbeile is not an opponent of the Ming army. Could it be that the main force of the Ming army has come? General, what should we do?" Li Yongfang's lieutenants were chattering and panicking all day long.

Li Yongfang paced in the hall, frowning.After the Golden Eight Banners, the main force of three banners fell into the war with Goguryeo, and the Zhenglan Banner was defeated by the Ming army in Wanghaibao. The remaining four banners were to guard Shengjing and guard against Yuan Chonghuan and Mangui on the Guanning line of defense. It is impossible for the troops to go south to help Jinzhou in a short time.If you want to continue to defend Jinzhou, it is very likely that you will fall into the siege of the Ming army.

"Pack up our things and we will retreat to Haizhou. We will give up on Jinzhou City for the time being." Li Yongfang sighed and said helplessly.

Jinzhou's army hurriedly packed their packages and fled Jinzhou City in a panic, not even trying to harm the common people.

"The golden soldier left?"

The common people in Jinzhou City stared dumbfoundedly at the fleeing Jin Bing, unable to believe it.

Soon their guess was verified.The flag of the Ming army appeared outside Jinzhou City.

"Boss, Jin Bing has already left, and Jinzhou City is now an empty city." Chang Yi said to Chu Yun.

"I thought we would use our artillery to deal with this group of ignorant guys." Chu Yun couldn't help feeling that the victory came too easily.

He didn't know until after the fight that it was Jin Bing's Sanbeile who was seriously injured by the artillery during the shelling operation, so Jin Bing had no intention of fighting again, so he fled in a hurry.

Li Yongfang probably overestimated Chu Yun's strength because of Mang Er Gutai's serious injury.Otherwise, relying on Li Yongfang's army and the strength of Jinzhou City, Chu Yun's thirteen cannons may not be able to break through Jinzhou City in a short time.

"We are the army sent by the imperial court to recover southern Liaoning. Now Jinzhou City has been taken over by us. Please rest assured, folks and elders!"

The troops of Fuliaoying marched into Jinzhou City to publicize to the people of Jinzhou City.

"The imperial army is back!"

"I see Master Wang again in my lifetime, will you leave?"

"Look, what's that moving brass pillar? And that shotgun, it looks so impressive!"

The people in Jinzhou city jumped for joy when they heard that it was the army of the imperial court.Elderly people leaning on crutches and women holding children came to the street and looked curiously at the Ming army entering the city.In particular, the artillery dragged behind the Ming army made the gossip hearts of curious common people burn.

"From now on, the taxes of the people in Jinzhou will be halved!"

As soon as Chu Yun entered the city, he immediately ordered a tax reduction.As soon as the tax reduction notice came out, the people in Jinzhou City were completely excited.Some old people may have never seen such a good officer and army in their life. The first thing to do when they take down the city is not to search for food and grass, but to reduce the burden on the common people. They are really teachers of benevolence and righteousness.

"All the silver in the warehouse was swept away by the gold soldiers, but there was a lot of grain and grass in the granary, and they couldn't take it all away. The remaining half of the grain and grass alone is enough for us to survive this winter." Changyi took The second brigade took the lead in raiding the granary, "We also captured a master book."

A thin, yellow and stooped middle-aged master was tied up by Chang Yi and brought to Chu Yun.

"What's your name, why didn't you run away with other Jinzhou officials?" Chu Yun asked.

"Forgive me, Jun. My name is Chen Ting. I was originally appointed by the imperial court as the chief account holder in Jinzhou. It was only when the Jin soldiers came that they had no choice but to become Jinting's lackeys. They wanted to escape to Haizhou and continue to serve as Jinting's lackeys." , I, Chen Ting, don't want to." The master book replied.

"What is the population of Jinzhou?" Chu Yun asked Chen Ting the question he was most concerned about, which was the number of labor force.

"There are more than 5000 households in Jinzhou City. If it is the entire Jinzhou Guard, there may be more than [-] households." Chen Ting still has a good understanding of the situation in Jinzhou City.

More than ten thousand households?That is tens of thousands of people.Chu Yun is already very satisfied with this. After all, there were thousands of people in Guanglu Island at the time, but now the population has increased tenfold. Moreover, this fertile land is suitable for farming, and there are rich coal and iron resources. Good industrial base.

The most important thing is that under Chu Yun's rule, the population, commercial prosperity and other civilization indicators have increased exponentially. In addition to the civilization points obtained by Chu Yun's previous military operations, Chu Yun currently has more than 2000 available civilization points!
"From now on, you will follow me and continue to be your chief bookkeeper." Chu Yun is short of talents in internal affairs. His subordinates are all military masters, and he doesn't care that Chen Ting used to work for the Jin people, so let Chang Yi Untie Chen Ting.

With Chen Ting in charge of internal affairs, Jinzhou City quickly resumed operation.

However, Chu Yun has made some changes. He plans to re-plan the layout of Jinzhou City and make Jinzhou City his own base.

"To set up a smelter in this area, we will not only manufacture firearms and artillery in Guanglu Island, but also manufacture firearms and artillery in Jinzhou City, and the scale here will be larger than Guanglu Island!"

"Build several textile factories in this area, and give priority to putting the captives we captured in textile factories and smelting factories for labor reform. If there is insufficient manpower, we will recruit ordinary people in the city to produce, and the treatment is the same as that of our Guanglu Island workers."

"In addition to the smelter and textile factory, we also need to build a salt factory, a wood processing factory, a mining factory, a paper mill... We must have all these things!"

Chu Yun led a team of soldiers to inspect the city of Jinzhou, while considering the industrial layout in the city.

"But my lord, the labor force in our city may not be able to meet so many needs." Chen Ting said bitterly, "Although there are five thousand households in the city, most of the young labor force have been conscripted into the army. Most of them are young and old, women and children."

"Women hold up half the sky. We can recruit women to work in our textile mills, salt factories, and paper mills. They can do as well as men." Chu Yun said, "And I will send people to various towns to encourage people in the villages to move. Come to the city to alleviate the problem of labor shortage in the city.”

"Then in this way, there will not be enough manpower to cultivate in the countryside next year..." Chen Ting still had a bitter face.

"You don't need to worry about this. I will find a way to deal with the food supply next year. We won't need so many farmers at that time, and we will have more food than we can eat." Chu Yun already has a way to deal with this in his heart.

"Since your lord has said so, then I will let the workers start building these facilities." Chen Ting said.

"Well, I will leave everything to you. I have to go ahead."

Chu Yun temporarily left after planning various important industrial facilities.He thought in his heart that Jinbing would not be able to organize troops to counterattack Jinzhou for a while, at least not before the end of this cold winter, and he would probably have a buffer period of two to three months.

Now that he has won this rare and precious time, Chu Yun will make his power stronger.It's time to light up the steam engine technology and let the real industrial revolution come.
