There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

At the end of November, Lin Feng and his party passed through Linxian and returned to Jiazhou, where they had been away for nearly three months.

When I returned to Zhenminghou Mansion, the first thing I did was of course go see my son. Xiao Linyun is six months old and can already sit up on his own and looks at Lin Feng with his dark eyes.

"Son, do you miss your dad?" Lin Feng picked up little Lin Yun and asked affectionately.

Xiao Linfeng looked at this strange and strange man, then looked at his mother Feng Ziyi, and started crying, which made Governor Lin lose face.

"Brother Lin, let me do it. You haven't been back for three months. How can Lingling, a child, still remember you?" Feng Ziyi said and took the child over.

"Zi Yi, how is your women's and pediatrics medical school?" Lin Feng asked.

Before Feng Ziyi could answer, Lin Wanyu on the other side interjected: "Brother, the women's and children's medical school run by my sister-in-law is very famous in Jiazhou. Many people from out of town come here specifically to seek medical treatment."

After Feng Ziyi coaxed Xiao Linyun, she also said: "Yes, there are too many people coming to seek medical treatment, and the place is a bit small."

"You can open a chain store and expand the scale as soon as possible." Lin Feng said casually.

"What is a chain store?" Feng Ziyi asked curiously.

"A chain store means that you can open many maternal and pediatric medical schools, but they must have a unified name. The interior decoration style and business level are similar. The diagnosis and treatment will be the same in every store." Lin Feng explained.

"That's good. If we open more women's and children's medical schools, we can treat more patients." Feng Ziyi replied.

"Brother, I don't want to go to Zhenming Group anymore. Can I run this women's and children's medical school with my sister-in-law?" Most of the group's headquarters are male employees, and Lin Wanyu didn't want to go after she got married.

"Then you have to ask your sister-in-law."

"It would be best if Wan Yu could come and help me. I have to take care of Xiao Lin Yun now, and I can't do it alone. Especially if we want to establish the chain of medical schools that Brother Lin mentioned, we need help even more." Feng Ziyi certainly welcomed Her sister-in-law came to help her.

"Okay, then I will invest another ten thousand taels of silver and let you open a women's and pediatrics medical school." Lin Feng was not short of money now, so he invested a sum of money generously.

"Thank you very much, brother. Please give us a name for our chain of women's and children's halls." Lin Wanyu continued.

"This Women's and Children's Hospital is opened by the two of you. Just take one word from each person's name and call it Ziyu Women's and Children's Medical School, or Ziyu Hall for short." Lin Feng decided on the name after thinking for a while.

"Zi Yu Tang, it's not bad, let's call it this name." Feng Ziyi was immediately satisfied when Lin Feng put her name in front.

"Okay, then just listen to my brother." Lin Wanyu joined later, so of course she wouldn't have any opinions.

After leaving Feng Ziyi's courtyard, Lin Feng came to Li Rushi's courtyard. She was talking about something with Xiao Qingqing.

"Qingqing is here too." Lin Feng greeted with a smile.

"I have met Mr. Marquis. Mrs. Xiaoshi and I are discussing the matter of the Grand Theater you mentioned last time. The theater venue is already under construction and some programs need to be arranged now." Xiao Qingqing stood up immediately and said.

"Qingqing, don't be so polite, you are moving very quickly!" Lin Feng replied.

Then he walked up to Li Rushi and looked at her lovingly. He didn't know how to tell her about Li Wanxiang's death in Datong.

When Xiao Qingqing came out of the brothel, she was naturally very discerning. She noticed that Lin Feng seemed to have something important to say to Li Rushi, so she left immediately.

After Lin Feng told Xiao Qingqing that he would talk to her about the Grand Theater next time, he stepped forward and hugged Li Rushi, his eyes full of apologies.

Li Rushi seemed to notice something was wrong in the atmosphere, so she raised her little face and asked curiously: "Brother Lin, what's wrong? Why do I think your eyes are weird?"

"Xiao Shi, Brother Lin is sorry for not protecting your father." Lin Feng hesitated for a moment and then said it. He couldn't hide this matter.

"Daddy, what's wrong with him?" Li Rushi immediately panicked upon hearing this.

"The Ming Dynasty took advantage of us to resist the Manchu Tatars at the Datong border, and took advantage of Datong City. Your father refused to surrender and died heroically in the line of duty." Lin Feng said with sadness.

"Daddy!" Li Rushi shouted strangledly and fainted instantly. Lin Feng quickly hugged Li Rushi, carefully carried her to the bed, and asked the maid to call Mother Lin and the rest of the family.

Soon, Mother Lin, Feng Ziyi, Wu Yunna, Lin Wanyu and others all arrived.

Seeing Li Rushi fainted on the bed with tears on her face, Mother Lin asked, "Son, what's wrong with Xiaoshi? She was fine just now."

"Xiao Shi's father Li Wanxiang was killed in Datong Mansion." Lin Feng explained briefly.

"Hey, my poor wife." Upon hearing this, Mother Lin immediately came to the bed and took care of Li Rushi.

"You guys take care of Xiao Shi first. I'll go to the Governor's Mansion to handle some official business first." Lin Feng said. He might have a lot of things to do when he came back, and he couldn't stay in the back house all the time.

"Son, just go and get busy, Xiaoshi is here for us." Mother Lin ordered.

Arriving at the Governor's Mansion in the courtyard, Lin Jiakang came in with a lot of paperwork, ready for Lin Feng to review.

"Put the general documents aside for now. Is there anything urgent?" Lin Feng asked. He was not in the mood to read documents now.

"Yes, the battle report on the capture of Xi'an Mansion sent by Commander Fang Xiaoyu and some information sent by Tingfeng Guard are both urgent." Lin Jiakang replied.

"Okay, please take out these documents and show them to me first. In addition, you inform Li Fei from Luoyang to come back as soon as possible. Magistrate Li was killed in Datong Mansion. Don't tell him yet. Wait until he comes back." Lin Feng ordered.

"Understood, I will inform you immediately." Lin Jiakang immediately accepted the order and left.

Lin Feng first took out the battle report sent by Fang Xiaoyu and read it. After receiving the order in late October, Fang Xiaoyu led the expanded 15,000-strong Second Mobile Division south to attack Xi'an Prefecture.

Various prefectures and counties in Xi'an watched the wind and descended all the way, and they did not encounter decent resistance until they reached Jingyang, north of Xi'an city. Fang Xiaoyu organized a fierce bombardment from the division's artillery battalion, and then took advantage of the situation to organize a strong attack, and captured Jingyang in less than an hour.

Seeing that Jingyang was lost so quickly, Ding Qirui, the governor of Shaanxi in Xi'an City, quickly surrendered on the advice of Zan Hua Huang Hongchang.

Huang Hongchang's representative Ding Qirui once came to Yan'an Prefecture to negotiate with the Zhenming Army. At that time, he wanted to use internal friction to cover up the occupation of Yan'an Prefecture. He saw with his own eyes the power of the Zhenming Army.

So this time Fang Xiaoyu's Second Mobile Division went south, and he urged Ding Qirui to surrender. Ding Qirui himself was not capable enough. He was either Zhang Xianzhong or Li Zicheng and other major rebels in southern Shaanxi. He had long been on tenterhooks. He was either worried about being beheaded by rogue bandits or afraid that Chongzhen would be held accountable and imprisoned.

After much deliberation, it was better to surrender to Lin Feng's Zhenming Army. At least Governor Lin was more disciplined and had never heard of anyone being tortured, killed or demoted.

Besides, even the original governor of the three sides, Lu Xiangsheng, and the governor of Shanxi, Song Xian, had also surrendered, so Ding Qirui would not feel burdened if he surrendered.

As a result, Fang Xiaoyu occupied Xi'an Mansion with almost no bloodshed. However, considering the limited strength of the Second Mobile Division, Fang Xiaoyu only sent troops to occupy a few key points from Yan'an Prefecture to Xi'an City. The other vast prefectures and counties in Xi'an Prefecture have not yet been divided into troops to occupy.

"Okay!" Lin Feng secretly cheered and occupied Xi'an Mansion. The distance to Luoyang and Kaifeng in Henan and Xiangyang in Hubei was greatly shortened. In the future, his ability to control the Central Plains will be much stronger.

Lin Feng then took a look at several pieces of information sent by Tingfeng Wei.

One was about the imperial court. Emperor Chongzhen was furious because the Manchus invaded again and the Taiyuan Prefecture was captured by the Zhenming Army. He dismissed Xue Guoguan, the chief minister of the cabinet, and appointed Fan Fucui, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, to take over. First assistant.

Lin Feng knew that in the late Chongzhou period, the chief ministers of the cabinet were replaced faster than a revolving door, and he had no interest in who would take over as chief ministers, so he put this information aside.

The second intelligence came from the Manchu Tatars. After Lin Feng led the main force of the Zhenming Army to leave Datong Prefecture, Huang Taiji's plan to annihilate the Zhenming Army came to nothing. After he ordered the plundering of Xuanfu and the northern part of Datong Prefecture, he prepared to divide his troops to plunder the southern part of Datong Prefecture. After plundering, they were ambushed several times by Lu Xiangsheng's Cavalry Division. They lost more than 2,000 people and had to retreat.

Huang Taiji also had a hard time in the Xuanfu area of ​​Datong. If the whole army went south to the capital, the gains would be limited because they had just plundered it. Going deep into Taiyuan, there were Zhenming troops there. After several head-on encounters, he did not Confidence to fight the Zhenming Army in the hinterland of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Ming court sent people to contact the Manchus. After Huang Taiji extorted 200,000 taels of silver, he began to return north with the people and money plundered mainly from the Xuan Mansion, leaving another one for Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. The devastated Xuanfu.

The third piece of information was about Hong Chengchou. After the Tatars returned north, in order to prevent the Manchu Tatars from attacking Liaodong on their return, Hong Chengchou led an army of 40,000 people back to Liaodong. The imperial court's newly appointed Datong Commander-in-Chief Jiang Quan was responsible for the defense of Datong City, and left him an army of 10,000 people. He also transferred some soldiers from surrounding guards to form a 20,000-strong army to defend Datong.

Datong was in dilapidated state after being tortured by Hong Chengchou and Manta. Lin Feng was not in a hurry to recover it now. He would let them take whatever the imperial court wanted. His next focus would be on the Central Plains.
