    It was September, and although the weather had turned cold, it had not yet frozen outside Qinhuangdao.

    Han Er held the bowl and ate all the porridge in the bowl, sighing with satisfaction.

    The sweetness of sweet potatoes is still lingering on the tip of the tongue. This newly introduced food to the north has now become an important staple food for daily consumption. Adding some sweet potato pieces to the porridge will make the whole porridge much more fragrant.  For two meals a day, sweet potatoes can be used as both rice and vegetables. They are really the treasure of poor families.

    "Don't the sweet potatoes taste good?" Guo Si next to him came over. He was not tall and described as thin: "Thanks to the southern thieves, I heard that Yu Guozhen strongly requested that they be planted widely in Shandong, and this spread to us.  There are also potatoes and corn cobsTsk, tsk, you said that Yu Guozhen has such abilities, why didn't our general vote for him instead of going over there?"

    After entering the customs, Wu Sangui handed over the guards of Shanhaiguan to Jianlu to show his sincerity in surrendering. Yuguan was rebuilt in the southwest of Shanhaiguan. However, it is only a sentry tower now. It would be good to set off beacon fire in an emergency.  Han Er and Guo Si were the defenders sent here. They were both selected from the rest. Naturally, they were not the kind of sturdy men. They were really inconspicuous above Guancheng.

    "If you are willing to spend gold and silver over there, if you vote for the master there, you can be granted a title of marquis. If you vote for Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen has many generals in his hands. What is the way out for the general master? Can he return to his hometown and become a rich man? A catcher and a rope can do it.  Kidnap him."

    "That's right. The general is a famous general. What's the point of returning to his hometown to become a rich man? Moreover, the rich man now has no future. He can't even keep a tenant!"

    What Guo Si was talking about was the economic impact that Xinxiang had brought to the whole of China. Even in Shandong and Guangdong and Guangxi controlled by Yu Guozhen, he could not prohibit private land annexation. Agrarian revolution was certainly a good medicine when launching a revolution, but now, he  There are better means at hand, so there is no need to adopt such drastic methods.

    From the perspective of large-scale agriculture in the future, land concentration is inevitable.  What we need to pay attention to is how to resettle the farmers who have lost their land. This is the fundamental issue.  Yu Guozhen took a fancy to this. He needed a lot of manpower.  Those farmers who lost their land due to land mergers and acquisitions were sent to factories, mines, and to the South China Sea and the East China Sea.  There are plenty of jobs there.

    And in this way, the landowners who annexed the land suddenly found that the tenants' backs were suddenly hardened, and they wanted to reduce rents and interest rates. Even the long-term workers were clamoring for processing money. If they didn't agree, they would go to the Huaxia Industry Bureau - this is  A large-scale organization under the Chinese Military Strategy Commission, it arranges training and employment matters for all immigrants.  Originally, the landlords could use their own smackers to deal with these dishonest people, but the militia immediately intervened, and gradually, even most of the smackers were discovered.  Instead of helping the landlord with the work, he might as well go to the Industrial Development Bureau and obey the arrangements.

    So the landowners can only watch the land they bought during the famine become abandoned and desolate. They hold the land deeds for tens of millions of acres but cannot provide any human help.  This situation made the landowner very confused and changed his mind.  These poor people have no way out and can only accept their exploitation. But now, they have not encountered this situation for thousands of years, which makes them at a loss.

    Yu Guozhen doesn¡¯t want to touch them for the time being, not for another two to three years.  When these landowners get used to the large amounts of land in their hands but little harvest, at that time, the Chinese Military Strategy Commission can come forward and use acquisition methods to acquire the abandoned land from their hands.  This method is actually a kind of expropriation of landlords who took advantage of the famine years to destroy other people's land, but this kind of expropriation is more subtle.

    "Hush, someone is cominglook at the situation, is it a caravan?"

    "They must be selling southern goods. The nobles of the Qing Dynasty in the Liao region like Di Gong wine and various glassware from the south the most. It's a pity that we guard the beacon tower, and the brothers below can get some benefits again."  "

    "Don't worry, we will always be there. Otherwise, who would be willing to go to the beacon tower?"

    While the two were talking, a group of traders came slowly from the southwest. This group of traders walked neither fast nor slow. The hunchback on the horse looked quite heavy, and they sold a lot of goods.  Guo Si calculated that there were forty-five pairs of hunchbacks in total. This was a quite large caravan.

    The camel team soon arrived at the city gate, and the guards came forward to negotiate. Guo Si looked at his negotiating companions with envy, and then realized that the person who came had slapped his companions.

    "Rebellion, rebellion, these businessmen dare to do this!" Guo Siguai shouted.

    "Hush, it seems to be a gang of evil stars. Come to think of it, how can a caravan of this size not have a backstage?"

    Immediately afterwards, a quarrel was heard over there. Some people in the caravan stepped forward to help, while others walked away as if nothing had happened. The porters even laughed and watched the fun. They heard it from the beacon tower.The team announced their names, and they were people sent by the Shang Fan family of the Qing Dynasty. No wonder they were so arrogant and domineering.

    So the military attache above them had to be careful to apologize. The Fan family of the imperial merchants was extraordinary. They were included in the list of traitors released by the Chinese Military Strategy Commission, and their ranking was slightly lower than Wu Sangui and others.  When it comes to his status in the hearts of the Manchu nobles, Wu Sangui is probably not as good as them.

    "It seems that everything has come to nothing Hey, why are you here? Go down, go down, this is a beacon tower, there are so many people waiting, you can't ah!"

    Guo Si was waiting to drive down the porters who had climbed up to the beacon tower in chaos, when he saw one of them grinning, showing his dazzlingly white teeth: "I'm sorry, you two, please move."

    "Be brave, don't think you are the Fan family the Fan family"

    When Guo Si saw the musket in front of him, his voice began to tremble. Han Er was ruthless. He turned over and wanted to rush to the fire pit to get the fire, but was kicked over.

    Immediately afterwards, hands were also moved below.

    In the blink of an eye, all the Wu Sangui soldiers guarding Xinyu Pass were restrained and then stripped naked. Guo Si and Han Er were tied together naked.

    "You two should be happy together." One of the vendors came up and laughed when he saw the two men naked and tied together.

    Immediately afterwards, Han Er saw a person he knew. This person was really the shopkeeper of the Fan family of Huangshang. He was looking at him just now, so no one had any suspicion.  He nodded and bowed to the person who was teasing them: "General Wang, does what happened today count as a meritorious service to my Fan family?"

    "Naturally, the Fan family understands practical matters, which is very good. Our commander-in-chief has always made a clear distinction between merit and deeds. The Fan family can rest assured. As long as the main force of the rebels can be kept in the pass this time, the legal property of the Fan family will be protected in the future!  "

    This General Wang is exactly Wang Haoran who Wu Sangui and Jianlu thought was still guarding Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

    "Mr. Shi Min, Wu Sangui definitely didn't expect that we would appear here." Seeing that the entire Yuguan was under control, Wang Haoran sent a messenger. About ten minutes later, a ship began to appear on the sea.  Mao Yuanyi got off the first boat that docked. Although he was over fifty years old, he was still full of energy. His whole spirit was no different from that of a person in his thirties or forties.

    Even his skills are extremely agile.

    Hearing Wang Haoran's words, Mao Yuanyi stepped hard: "That's natural. Wu Sangui and Jianlu both thought that we would attack Liaodong directly and take Shenyang as the target, but they didn't think about it. The commander-in-chief's appetite was bigger than they thought, or was it?  That sentence, if people survive and land will be lost, people and land will survive; if people die and land will survive, people and land will perish. As long as we kill all the elite soldiers who enter the pass, the land of Liaodong is not easy to get!"

    "However, there is still a flaw in the commander's plan. To fight Jianlu, Mr. Shi Min, you didn't come north. This is the biggest flaw." Wang Haoran laughed loudly: "If it were me, I must know that our army's goal is Liaodong after all.  .¡±

    "So in the newspapers these days, haven't you noticed that I appear more frequently, observing military exercises and meeting outstanding soldiers?"

    Mao Yuanyi said this, opened her arms, faced the northeast, and made a hug gesture: "How many years, ten years? Twenty years? I finally came back here today, with my troops!"

    He followed Sun Chengzong to guard Liaodong very early, and never visited the Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan areas.  To the east, the water and sky were vast, and a large group of Chinese troops were landing. In order to facilitate the transportation of heavy equipment, the Chinese troops who landed ashore began to build simple docks under the command of the engineering corps.  Looking at this scene, Mao Yuanyi couldn't help but think of Cao Cao's famous poem: "Landing the Jieshi in the east, I can see the sea What a blessing, I can sing to express my ambition!"

    His lifelong ambition was to eliminate Jianlu. He was originally exiled to Fujian. He thought he would never have the chance to realize his ambition in his life, until he was recommended by others and came to Yu Guozhen's side.

    It was only when he was with Yu Guozhen that he realized that many of the things he had previously thought were correct were absurd.  In less than ten years, he returned to Shanhaiguan, and further to Liaodong.

    "The next step is to recapture Shanhaiguan. This is only the first step in our victory. We cannot stop yet." Wang Haoran saluted Mao Yuanyi: "Chief of Staff, please give the order. I will seize Shanhaiguan!"

    "Go ahead, I will lead the team to pick you up." Mao Yuanyi returned the military salute.

    As the two of them said, Yu Guozhen did not set his goal only on defeating Wu Sangui and Dorgon from the beginning.  His goal is the entire Liaodong, but he is unwilling to fight Jianlu in the ravine in the ice and snow. The best way is to lure Jianlu into North China, then intercept his retreat, and kill him completely in the vast North China Plain.  wipe out.

      The more troops Dorgon mobilizes and the more resources he prepares, the more it suits his wishes.

    Dorgon always thought that Yu Guozhen would go straight to Huanglong, leaving his troops to guard the coast of Liaodong, and concentrate his troops to support Wu Sangui, and fight Yu Guozhen from Tianjin Wei to Shandong.  Unexpectedly, his troop deployment pattern became a "dumbbell", with big sides and small in the middle. Yu Guozhen ordered Wang Haoran to go to Tamluo Island alone to join Jiang An and Mao Yuanyi to lead the third batch of elite troops heading north.  , chose to land in the Qinhuangdao and Guangningwei areas on the north and south sides of Shanhaiguan. He did not expect that Fan Yongdou of the Fan family, the royal merchant who brought him the news of the mobilization of the Shandong militia, would also have a secret contact with Yu Guozhen!

    (Let¡¯s make a big dumpling for everyone on New Year¡¯s Eve. Seeing that others are on holiday, Lao Lei is still working hard on coding, so everyone has to be considerate and send some red envelopes to celebrate the new year.) (To be continued)
