The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 268 The blunt knife cuts the flesh

After reading the battle report in his hand, Jiang Chuan felt a little relieved.Although Baishan's method seems a bit slow, cutting the flesh with a blunt knife will also cause the Tartars in Gaizhou to slowly bleed to death.

It doesn't matter if the Tartars don't send troops out of the city. Anyway, clearing out these villages outside the city is equivalent to cutting off the Tartars' wings. In short, no matter what the Tartars do, Baishan will definitely gain.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan suddenly remembered that he also seemed to have neglected the Tazi village near Liaoyang intentionally or unintentionally.Now that Liaoyang City has been defeated, it is time to consider how to deal with the Manchu and Mongolian slave owners in these villages.

In order to completely consolidate their rule in this area, these Manchurian Tartars must be eliminated.Getting rid of these people is not only getting rid of potential threats, but also a prerequisite for winning over the enslaved Han Chinese.

It's just that he hasn't figured out how to do it for a while.

Jiang Chuan walked into the signing room with the battle report, wrote a reply letter to Bai Shan himself, and handed it to Li Jian to send someone to send it to Bai Shan.

He sat back in the signing room by himself, listed the things he thought of to do next one by one, and then wrote his thoughts under each item.

Sitting down this time, I found that the more I had to do, the more I thought about it. I wrote more than a dozen pages before I almost wrote down what I thought in my heart. At that time, patches of fiery red sunset glow hung in the sky, indicating that tomorrow will be another sunny day.

Seeing Jiang Chuan coming out, Mu Yi, who had been waiting outside, hurried forward and said, "Master Hou, dinner is already ready, no matter how busy you are, my subordinates dare not disturb you. You take a short rest, and your subordinates will send the food to you." Warm it up and send it over."

Everyone knows that Jiang Chuan doesn't like to be bothered by trivial matters when he is concentrating, even if it is eating.Anyone who disturbs at this time will be criticized.

Bai Mu, the lieutenant of the personal guard camp, is not only Jiang Chuan's bodyguard captain, but also a temporary assistant.Now that Bai Mu has returned to Erlong Valley, these matters can only be handed over to Mu Yi, the commander of the Chinese army, to do it for him.

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "Look at the arrangement."

Mu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that something might go wrong in his first guest role as a life assistant.Now it seems that this Marquis has no pretensions in daily life, and is very easy to serve, so he hastily agreed to make arrangements.

A personal guard brought a basin of clean water, but Jiang Chuan reached out and found cold water. He didn't say anything, but he began to miss the days when Qi Xuan took care of his daily life.But he wouldn't blame these personal guards, after all, these rough men are good at fighting on the battlefield, and women are more careful in taking care of people.

Washed his head and face with cold water casually, and then went to the back office of the county government. There is a small pavilion in the courtyard, which is simple and elegant. Although the weather in March is still quite cool at night, Jiang Chuan still likes to sit in the pavilion After blowing the wind, you will feel more relaxed and open-minded physically and mentally.

After eating in the pavilion, Jiang Chuan went back to the signing room, went over the things he had listed with the light on, revised and added some things before washing up and going to bed.

Bai Mu went back very fast, and Liu Ji came very fast. When the sun was about to set on the second day, Liu Ji rushed to Liaoyang City with his people.

"Military Master, you came really fast. I think you will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Jiang Chuan came out of the county office to greet him after hearing the report, and laughed when he saw Liu Ji with a dusty face.

"My lord is calling, I dare not be unhappy." Liu Ji greeted him with a smile.

"However, my lord, I didn't come alone this time." After Liu Ji finished speaking, he moved away with a smile. Only then did Jiang Chuan realize that there was a carriage parked behind him, and he was stunned. Although he had some guesses, But he didn't say anything, and watched the movement of the carriage with a smile.

The curtain of the carriage was gently lifted by a white jade hand, and a graceful figure leaned out from the carriage, it was not Qi Xuan but who else.

"Why are you here? The road is bumpy, and it's uncomfortable to ride in a carriage, right?" Jiang Chuan was slightly taken aback, then chuckled.

Qi Xuan blushed before she could speak, but Liu Ji smiled and said: "Miss Qi Xuan begged me to bring her here after she knew that the Lord was calling. She is always worried that the Lord is going to fight outside, and there is no one around to take good care of her." I'm afraid that the lord might not be used to it, so I had no choice but to bring her here."

Jiang Chuan was a little moved, and said to Qi Xuan with a smile, "You really think of me as a flower in a greenhouse, unbearable to be tempered by wind and rain. When we are at home, we eat and sleep on the hot kang. When we are out in battle, everything is kept simple, as long as we have food and drink. You have gained so much. If you can’t bear this bit of hardship, then it’s better to take you to find a good place to be a farmer and be at ease.”

The men are all face-saving, Jiang Chuan himself was still thinking about the good days when Qi Xuan served him yesterday, but today he started bragging seriously in front of others.

Qi Xuan didn't speak, just looked at her with a smile, with a hint of shyness and joy.But from Jiang Chuan's point of view, it seems that the meaning expressed by others is: "I don't speak, I just quietly watch you pretend." The old man blushed and said: "Military teacher, let's talk inside."

As he spoke, he took Liu Ji and others to the county government office.

The group settled down, washed and had dinner.There are many houses in this county government office, and all the officials and servants have fled. Jiang Chuan originally wanted to catch these guys back, but there has been no trace of them, and he has been ignored.

Qi Xuan brought several maids with her when she came, and after the meal, she brought the maids to tidy up a room for Liu Ji, and tidy up Jiang Chuan's room again.

Jiang Chuan took the memo he had written in the past two days to talk with Liu Jibing by candlelight, discussing important things to do.After discussing all night, the two finally settled on a few things to do now.

First: Send troops to sort out the villages and settlements around Liaoyang. Those Manchu and Mongolian slave owners who are willing to submit obediently can save their lives, but they must deprive them of all their property and fields, work like the Han people, and hand over [-]% of what they get to the government.If you are not willing to cooperate and surrender, then use thunderous means to clear them directly, and all fields and property will be confiscated.

And for those Han slaves who were rescued, they were all enthroned and recorded, and their status as free citizens was restored, and land, seeds, cattle, etc. were distributed according to their heads, and spring plowing began.

Second, in the fields on the outskirts of Liaoyang, the people must be organized to start spring plowing, and the government will provide seeds, cattle and other means of production.When harvesting in autumn, the grain proceeds can only be sold to the government. This rent ratio is lower than the ratio stipulated by ordinary landlords, which is very attractive to the common people.

Third, for those unowned wastelands, organize captives to reclaim the fields.All captives who have worked hard and performed well after one year can apply to join the army and enjoy the treatment of regular army soldiers.Those who do not want to join the army can be given freeman status and assigned fields to become farmers.If the person who steals, rapes, cheats and deliberately fails to cooperate, he will be flogged for the first time and beheaded directly for the second time.

Fourth, assemble the army after the spring plowing is completed, prepare to attack Guangning, and strive to take down Guangning City as quickly as possible.

　The fourth one arrives.Finally, come back to the fifth before going to bed.
