    Although Jincheng is called a 'city', in Zhao Hongyu's eyes, it is basically equivalent to a village in the northeast of another time and space.

    ¡°Perhaps because of the founding and rise of the Hou Jin Dynasty, as well as the occasional violations, there are not many Ming people left in Jincheng.

    Before coming, Zhao Hongyu got a piece of data from Sun Chuanting, which said that the number of people in Jincheng was only 1,500 households.

    ?? If calculated based on a family of five people, it would be more than 7,000 people.

    ¡°But when Zhao Hongyu came to Jincheng, he discovered that these so-called 1,500 households also had a lot of water.

    How can a few adobe houses accommodate 1,500 households?

    What a joke!

    ¡°Oh my God, Zhu Shangwu used this place as a mortgage. It seems that he was really cheated.

    Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes twitched for a long time as he looked at the adobe house not far away and the dilapidated adobe city wall.

    Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hongyu shook this annoying thought out of his mind.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out there, the hundred-mile radius is our men¡¯s for the time being, isn¡¯t it?

    Before Zhu Shangwu paid off the debt, I took control of this place.

    "Sir, what should we do with the common people following our army?"

    At this time, Jay Chou came over and asked.

    Yes, Zida came all the way from Datong. Because Zhao Hongyu was soft-hearted and could not bear to see the Ming people who had become homeless and starved to death due to the invasion of Houjin in Liaodong, he distributed a batch of grain to them.

    But this directly led to a consequence, that is, these people simply followed the army in order to have enough to eat.

    Every time, Zhao Hongyu would relent and distribute food.

    This actually brings more and more common people.

    Although Sun Chuanting and Yang Fengyi had suggested several times that Zhao Hongyu should ignore these people.

    However, Zhao Hongyu did not adopt their suggestion.

    ??Actually, it¡¯s not that Sun Chuanting and Yang Fengyi didn¡¯t want to help these Ming people, it¡¯s just that they considered that if these people got benefits, it would be bad if greed grew and they attacked the army.

    Who can guarantee that such a thing will not happen?

    That¡¯s why they made such a suggestion.

    It¡¯s just that Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t adopt it.

    In this way, as Zhao Hongyu and the others walked along, more and more people followed the army.

    Even when they came to Jincheng, the people never left.

    After all, there is something to eat if you follow these people, right?

    "I'm not a charity person, so I can't always give them food and drink unconditionally. But since these people followed us to Jincheng, I have an idea."

    Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and stroked his chin and said to Jay Chou.

    "Oh, Your Highness, what plans have you made?"

    Jay Chou asked quickly.

    Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Yes, the land here in Jincheng is vast and sparsely populated. I think it would be good to place these people here and let them open up wasteland. This can be regarded as giving them a living, so that they will not have to do nothing every day.  Moreover, this place has been mortgaged by Zhu Shangwu, so he cannot take it back in a short period of time. During this period, we must develop Jincheng well and obtain the maximum benefits, right?"

    ¡°Oh, it turns out that Your Highness wants those common people to reclaim wasteland.

    Jay Chou knew what Zhao Hongyu meant.

    This is a good thing.

    In fact, Jay Chou has no objection to providing food to the people of the Ming Dynasty, but he has some objections to the unconditional supply.

    It¡¯s okay to do this for a short period of time, but it won¡¯t work if it continues for a long time.

    To paraphrase what Zhao Hongyu just said, they are not a charity.

    Therefore, the most correct way is to find a livelihood for these people so that they can be self-reliant.

    Moreover, Jincheng is in a dilapidated state and continues to be populated and land reclaimed.

    ¡°In addition, if Jincheng wants to develop, construction will also require a lot of manpower.

    Therefore, the common people following the army can take advantage of it.

    Thinking of this, Jay Chou quite agreed with Zhao Hongyu's plan.

    "You talk to Sun Chuanting later and tell him what I mean. I think Sun Chuanting will not object to such an arrangement. After all,This also provides a way for those people to survive.  Moreover, Jincheng does need to build more houses and strengthen the city walls.  "

    Speaking of this, Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and pointed to the dilapidated city wall built with black soil not far away, and said to Jay Chou: "Look at that city wall, it is only one and a half meters high, and many places have collapsed.  Come down, if we don't rebuild it, how can we use it to resist Houjin."

    Yes, the capital of Houjin is more than 800 miles away from Jincheng.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu had to guard against Hou Jin.

    What¡¯s more, when their team comes to Jincheng, they will definitely become Hou Jin¡¯s most serious problem.

    "As long as the nobles of Hou Jin are not stupid, they can see this.

    Under such circumstances, it became inevitable for Hou Jin to send troops to deal with them.

    Of course, Jin Yuanqi was seriously injured after the First World War in the capital.

    In the short term, it is impossible to cause trouble for yourself.

    So, Zhao Hongyu must seize the opportunity and get this matter done within this period.

    As long as he has houses and strong city defenses, he can develop the minerals near Jincheng with confidence, or deal with them with ease when Hou Jin sends troops.

    "Well, this city defense is not very good. It does need to be rebuilt, but how do you plan to build it, Your Highness?"

    Jay Chou nodded and then asked.

    "Use bricks. Use bricks to build a city wall. Only in this way can it be strong enough."

    Zhao Hongyu responded.

    Considering that Zhao Hongyu had a cheat, Jay Chou had no objection to this.

    "Then I will go to Sun Chuanting to discuss this. By the way, I will count the number of the common people, and then report back to His Highness so that His Highness can have a good count."

    Zhao Hongyu nodded, and then Jay Chou turned his horse's head and left.

    After Jay Chou left, Zhao Hongyu ordered the adjutant to start setting up tents to prepare for rest.

    Because there are too few houses in Jincheng, there is no room for such a large army, so Zhao Hongyu had to live in tents for a long time.

    Fortunately, when Zhao Hongyu came to this time and space in the early days, he lived in a tent, so he was not used to it.

    Sun Chuanting was a little embarrassed about this, because he knew that His Highness had been tricked by his own emperor.

    Naturally, the hands-on matters were handled by his subordinates. Zhao Hongyu got off his horse and sat on the folding chair that had been placed long ago to watch where the big guys were busy.

    Building a city here will inevitably attract the army of the Later Jin Dynasty.

    As long as we can withstand the two attacks of Hou Jin's army and hurt them, the other party will definitely not dare to invade here again in the future.

    Because Houjin has a small population, they cannot afford such a large loss. This is a weakness restricted by their innate conditions.

    hey-hey!

    As long as you can stand firm, it will be easy in the future.

    When the time comes, using this as a base, you can touch Goryeo in the east, Mongolia in the west, Jin in the north, and penetrate deep into the Ming Dynasty in the south.

    This is a good place.

    ¡°Well, I have to send people back to Kyushu quickly to recruit a large number of Japanese soldiers.

    It will take at least 50,000 people.

    With these 50,000 troops, Jincheng will be impregnable.

    The combat effectiveness of the Japanese is still good. Although it cannot be compared with the imperial soldiers, it should be comparable to the Eight Banners of Houjin.

    There is nothing wrong with the Houjin Eight Banners soldiers being brave, but the Japanese soldiers are not bad either.

    When the time comes, let the Eight Banners soldiers have a taste of Bushido.

    Zhao Hongyu sat there and began to think about the future development of Jincheng and a series of other issues.

    "Here comes someone!"

    Since you have thought of this, let¡¯s make arrangements quickly.

    ¡° Things like sending people back to Kyushu really can¡¯t be delayed.

    If the Japanese soldiers can be summoned one day earlier, then he can rest assured one day earlier, right?

    "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

    After the adjutant who had been following Zhao Hongyu heard the shouting, he immediately spoke up.

    "Send a small team to the capital and tell the people on the other side of the Tongzhou Canal to go to Kyushu immediately to announce my order. Let Tokugawa Chiyo of Kyushu recruit 50,000 Kyushu soldiers and transport them to the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, let them send this to the Ming Dynasty.  Something happened, inform Zhu Shangwu so that he has an idea in his mind  "

    "Follow your orders!"

    Regarding Zhao Hongyu¡¯s order, the adjutant would not say anything or object.

    Therefore, when Zhao Hongyu's order was issued, the adjutant took the order and left.

    At this time, Jay Chou was looking for Sun Chuanting, preparing to convey His Highness's order to him.

    At this time, Sun Chuanting was talking with Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui about his feelings when passing through Liaodong on the way.

    "I can't believe that the Liaodong Army has become so corrupt. If one of these generals is smart and has no selfish motives, then the Hou Jin army that was defeated in the capital will never be able to return to Hou Jin!"

    Sun Chuanting looked indignant and troubled.

    Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui both gritted their teeth and resented it.

    Why do the generals in Liaodong have such expressions when they talk about them?

    It turned out that on the way to Jincheng, the army passed through Liaodong.

    When passing through Liaodong, they found that Liaodong was full of displaced people, and no matter where they passed, there was a devastated scene.

    And many villages in Liaodong, at first glance, seemed to have been destroyed not long ago.

    Therefore, this attracted great attention from Sun Chuanting.

    Wasn¡¯t the Hou Jin Army defeated?

    Logically speaking, they should run away in a hurry.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? It looks like these villages in Liaodong have been looted.

    Could it be that the generals in Liaodong were just allowed to be ravaged by the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty?

    Therefore, Sun Chuanting inquired specifically.

    This inquiry did not matter, but it made Sun Chuanting angry and fell backwards.

    It turns out that after the Hou Jin army was defeated by Jay Chou, they indeed began to retreat from Liaodong.

    However, because the generals of Liaodong did not dare to fight, and then the Jinba Banner suffered a disastrous defeat in the capital, they took advantage of the people of Liaodong (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
