    In early May, the transition season between spring and summer arrives.  At this time of year in the south, people are basically wearing thin undershirts, but here in the north people still wear a lot of clothes.

    However, no matter what, this season is still very popular with people.

    After more than two months of construction, although Jincheng cannot be said to have a completely new look, it can be considered a completely different look than when Zhao Hongyu and the others first came here.

    With the tall city wall and wide moat, Zhao Hongyu even had the time to plant a lot of poplar trees on both sides of the moat to beautify the city defense.

    On the thin branches of the poplar tree, tender green tree buds sprouted, and they were already quite large.

    Because it is located in the north, there are many white birch trees near Jincheng.  During this season, the branches of these birch trees have seeds that look like small grapes and begin to burst, making the sky full of small white hairs.

    The former Liaodong refugees who followed Zhao Hongyu and the others to Jincheng experienced great changes in their spirits within a few months.

    You can no longer see the numbness and despair on their faces more than two months ago.  What is revealed on their faces now is their longing for the future and their hope for a happy life.

    Yes, these are the changes that Zhao Hongyu brought to them.

    ??Here in Jincheng, as long as you have the strength to work, you can make money.

    This money is enough for a family of five to eat and drink, and there is also fish and meat.

    A life like this was something that the refugees had never dared to imagine before.

    at the same time.  No one oppresses them here, and they are not deducted from their wages for working on the construction site.

    All of a sudden.  The refugees couldn't believe it at all.

    You know, in the past, even if they cultivated their own fields, they still had to pay a myriad of various taxes.  And not only the taxes have to be paid, but also the bullying from some local bullies and landlords.

    Therefore, at the end of the year, these hard-working people can only save a few coins on hand.

    Under such circumstances, it is good enough to ensure that people do not starve to death. Who would want to eat fish or meat?

    But here in Jincheng.  None of this has ever happened to them for squeezing.

    Even if some people want to do such a thing, they will be suppressed by the Ming army soldiers led by Sun Chuanting in the shortest possible time.

    So, after doing this a few times, no one dares to take this crooked way anymore.

    Although everyone has been improved materially, these former Liaodong refugees still feel uneasy.

    After all, Jincheng is too close to Houjin.

    Who knows that Hou Jin¡¯s Eight Banners soldiers will come to plunder some time?  By then the city will be built by everyone, as well as the hard work that has come over the past few months.  Wouldn't it be destroyed in one day?

    To be honest, these people have fallen in love with the no-oppression days in Jincheng.

    Therefore, everyone hopes that these Song people can show some ability to prove that they can not be threatened by Hou Jin.

    Only by letting everyone see this, will these refugees who are still working in Jincheng really feel at ease and stay in Jincheng.

    To know.  In the past two months, thousands of refugees have left here after earning some money.

    The reason why they wanted to leave was simply because they were worried that Jincheng would provoke Houjin Eight Banners soldiers.

    Everyone knows that life here in Jincheng is very good and life is very comfortable.

    As long as you don¡¯t break the law.  Then you can live comfortably here.

    However, the threat from Houjin is always on their minds.  It makes it impossible for them to make up their mind to take root here in Jincheng.

    Thousands of people are already 20% of the Ming Dynasty population in Jincheng, which is already quite a lot.

    And as time goes by, more and more people who have saved some money begin to want to leave here.

    ¡°The reason why people haven¡¯t left in large numbers yet is because people are gambling.

    The bet is that I can work for another month, and within this month the Jin people will not come.

    It is conceivable that these former Liaodong refugees who work in Jincheng all believe that after summer, the army of the Later Jin Dynasty will invade.

    But think about it.

    The construction here in Jincheng cannot be hidden from Houjin.

    And as some infrastructure construction in Jincheng is put into use, it has begun to attract some bold businessmen to come here.??Business is done.

    In other words, there is already some meat here in Jincheng. Although it is not very fat yet, it is still enough to take a bite.

    This is not particularly attractive to Houjin.

    You should know that in terms of post-financing, overall production is not involved.  Their supplies were all met by looting the surrounding areas, so how could Houjin turn a blind eye to Jincheng and remain indifferent.

    After all, Jincheng now seems to be generally prosperous.

    A relatively prosperous city like this at least proves that there is money here, right?

    So, it will definitely attract back money.

    Moreover, during this period of time, there have been many rumors spreading in the city.

    Some of Houjin¡¯s reconnaissance riders have appeared around Jincheng, which shows that the other party has begun to spy on Jincheng.

    The Ming people here in Jincheng are basically residents of the original Liaodong. They were plundered by Hou Jin more than once or twice, so we can guess pretty well some of Hou Jin's actions.

    Why did Houjin send out reconnaissance cavalry? Wasn¡¯t he already interested in Jincheng?

    In the past ten years, whenever Hou Jin sent troops to invade Liaodong Ming Dynasty, he would send a large number of reconnaissance cavalry and spies.

    Therefore, when this rumor spread, Jincheng became a little panicked.  What's more, the people of Ming Dynasty who work here start to be a little absent-minded when doing things.

    Regarding this situation, Zhao Hongyu also received some reports here.

    As for Zhao Hongyu, he understands the reaction of the people of Ming Dynasty. After all, they are all ordinary people, right?

    so.  Zhao Hongyu decided to show off his powerful muscles both externally and internally.

    As long as you can defeat Houjin a few times.  Then the people of Jincheng can feel at ease and no longer have such hesitation and fear.

    At the same time, it can also be proved that the army of the Song Empire can completely protect them from threats and harm from Hou Jin, giving everyone peace of mind.

    But before that, the first thing Zhao Hongyu had to do was to deal with Hou Jin¡¯s reconnaissance cavalry.

    "These Hou Jin's scouts come and go like lightning, and they are always invisible and annoying.

    Zhao Hongyu has been putting up with them for more than a month.

    It was just because Zhao Hongyu didn't want to scatter the imperial troops on hand that he ignored these Hou Jin's scouts.

    This led to Houjin Detective Cavalry becoming more and more bold.  Occasionally, they even dare to haunt Jincheng City.

    But it¡¯s better now. The Kyushu soldiers have received their orders and come to Jincheng, which greatly alleviates Zhao Hongyu¡¯s little trouble.

    With these Kyushu soldiers, Zhao Hongyu could inflict heavy losses on the Houjin reconnaissance cavalry without using or dispersing the imperial army.

    The elite Imperial Army can recharge its batteries and wait for the arrival of Hou Jin's army.

    Farewell to the training ground of Kyushu soldiers.  Zhao Hongyu, Jay Chou and Sun Chuanting returned to Jincheng.

    Soon, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s order was issued to the Jiuzhou soldiers.

    President Xiaolin was appointed by Jay Chou as the commander-in-chief of the Kyushu Army, and was also responsible for the extermination operation against Houjin Detective Cavalry.

    Jay Chou¡¯s order made President Xiaolin very happy.

    You know, he always wants military power in his dreams.

    Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu and Jay Chou not to be on guard.

    More than 300 members of the Imperial Political Department.  He was placed at the grassroots level of the Kyushu soldiers and was responsible for brainwashing and instilling certain things into them. Even President Kobayashi had two adjutants of Imperial Chinese origin working beside him.

    It doesn¡¯t matter if you are ambitious, as long as you don¡¯t do something wrong and become dizzy.

    ¡°If President Kobayashi becomes mentally retarded, his head will definitely be moved immediately.

    To know.  These people who were placed at the grassroots level of the Kyushu Army by the Imperial Political Department are not vegetarians at all.

    These functions are similar to the political commissars of a certain system in another time and space.  In a short period of time, he became one with those Kyushu soldiers and gained the support of many people.

    So, even if President Kobayashi has military command power, he is still blind if he can't control it at the grassroots level.

    For these, President Kobayashi obviously has not yet understood.

    But for President Kobayashi, this doesn¡¯t matter.

    As long as he has military power, at least for now he is satisfied.

    Now an opportunity is placed in front of him. Whether he has the ability or not depends on this time.

    ?If he doesn¡¯t do well this time, his room for improvement in the future will be very small.

    President Kobayashi has a deep understanding of the order he received this time.

    As long as he can do it perfectly and satisfy those His Highnesses and General Zhou, he believes that he will have room for improvement.

    So, President Kobayashi put all his energy into this strangulation operation against Houjin Detective Cavalry around Jincheng.

    Before leaving Jincheng, President Kobayashi and his Japanese generals held a series of discussions about this military operation and formulated a very detailed battle plan.

    The purpose of doing this is to make yourself famous and attract the attention of Zhao Hongyu or Jay Chou.

    President Kobayashi is so careless.

    However, the difficulties he faced were not small.

    Although the number of Houjin's reconnaissance cavalry units is not large, the opponents are all cavalry.

    " Moreover, if the forty or fifty reconnaissance cavalry combined, there would be more than 2,000 people.

    Although the Kyushu soldiers are powerful, they are all infantry.

    Therefore, it becomes a bit troublesome to encircle and suppress these Houjin scouts.

    Therefore, President Xiaolin reported this distressing issue to Zhao Hongyu.

    After receiving the report, Zhao Hongyu found Jay Chou.

    "Do you think we should give these Japanese some war horses?"

    When Jay Chou came to Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Hongyu asked hesitantly.
