Zhu Youxiao left, and seventeen-year-old Zhu Youjian took over.

It was five days after Wang Yan received the news from official channels. It was Mangui who sent the news and asked him to go to Ningyuan for a small meeting.

Needless to say, the purpose of the meeting was mainly to discuss whether Zhu Youjian would still implement the previous strategy in Liaodong after Zhu Youxiao was gone. After all, there were emperors, ministers, and orders. They were not very familiar with Zhu Youjian, and no one knew whether he would be able to regulate Liaodong when he came to power.

Wang Yan didn't put forward any constructive suggestions. He just fooled Man Gui and analyzed the current situation with them to give him some confidence. Moreover, the eldest brother of Liaodong, the king’s ministers, were not given in vain, so I don’t believe that he had no plans.

Regarding whether Zhu Youjian would rectify Liaodong, overthrow Huang Taiji, and regain the lost territory, Wang Yan had a good idea.

He just thought about it, Zhu Youjian, a seventeen-year-old, hot-blooded boy, did something to kill Zhu Youxiao, he must be a typical example of doing what he does.

The situation in Liaodong is still very different from that in history. It turned out that Huang Taiji was beating the Ming Dynasty at this moment. Now after General Wang's troubles, it is not said that the Ming Dynasty can defeat Huang Taiji, but it is certain that it has an advantage.

From the Battle of Jinzhou in April until now, Huang Taiji has not yet stabilized the situation. Prices are still high and it is still a mess. The casualties in the battle of Ningjin were partly due to the failure to grab supplies, and partly due to the heavy casualties in the battle with Chahar. The supplies obtained can basically maintain the situation, which is good. With the help of a group of wealthy businessmen and civil and military officials from the Ming Dynasty, the situation has not collapsed until now.

But the situation is definitely not optimistic. He dare not say it in three years, and he will definitely not dare to go south in two years.

Zhu Youjian is not a fool. Although he has not received a formal education in imperial studies, he is still a prince. In addition, he is smart, studious, and well-read, so he still has some knowledge. So, how could he not see the current situation in Liaodong? He must want to do something. After all, no emperor can refuse the great achievements of recovering lost lands and opening up new territories.

But thinking and doing are two different things. With the support of the eight Shanxi and Shang dynasties, the civil and military interests of Liaodong, and other large and small participants, the resistance is too great. It's so big that if Zhu Youjian insists on having his own way, it's easy for him to play with water.

Moreover, he has just taken over and has little power in his hands. Wei Zhongxian is still in control of the government, and any action will not be possible in the short term.

You have become an emperor, how can you tolerate having an emperor standing next to you? There is history, and the movie has been acted in. The two of them have a lot to do with each other. The situation in the Ming Dynasty cannot be solved by defeating Wei Zhongxian and eliminating the eunuch. Playing a game of chess up and down, one move really affects the whole body. If you want to conquer Liaodong and regain the lost territory, it's early.

After explaining the interests and risks to Mangui, it was enough to calm the eldest brother's restless mind. There was really no need to worry too much.

Civil servants don't take military commanders seriously, but that still counts. Because of Wang Yan's business, everyone in Liaodong, whether civil or military, had a share, and everyone had a share. As for the civil and military officials here, there are people from Wei Zhongxian, people from the Donglin Party, and other Xinxue disciples. The generals huddle together for warmth while at the same time seeking refuge with the civilian officials. In this mess, who dares to touch Liaodong?

Besides, even if Zhu Youjiankong took action, there was no resistance in the court, and Liaodong civil and military forces worked together, General Wang would not agree. If the Hou Jin Dynasty is defeated and Liaodong is recaptured, where will General Wang go to become a local emperor?

Zhu Youjian's rise to power had an impact on Wang Yan, but it was limited. Overall, it didn't matter much. His eyes were always on his own one-third of an acre of land.

Over the past two months, all affairs in Jinzhou City have been sorted out.

Supplies and money are definitely not enough. After all, Jinzhou City is in ruins and waiting to be renovated. No amount of money is enough to throw it into it. However, there are already some businesses that support his small stall. Although it is a little stretched, it can still be maintained.

Moreover, he has recently developed textile machinery, the introduction to the industrial revolution. He purchased wool from the tribes in Mongolia and then went through a series of treatments before weaving threads and making clothes.

Of course, at the beginning, the amount of wool purchased was not enough, and the goods were not too much. After all, it's autumn now and winter is about to begin, so most of the production can be harvested first. His men are basically wearing these things now. Military households and their families are half-priced, and soldiers are given free of charge. Of course the ones worn by Mr. Wang and some senior officers were different, they were all made of cashmere.

On the basis of satisfying self-use, only a small amount of goods flowed out. But because it is cheap and warm, some northern areas south of Liaodong have already gained some fame. I estimate that when the first wave of wool comes out next year, I can sell a lot of it.

Machines have been developed, and of course not just for weaving wool. He has also purchased a large amount of raw materials from outside, and with the dyeing formula in his hand, he plans to produce it to earn a mid-range price. He couldn't get too much out. After all, a lot of people in the north and south relied on this thing to make a living. It was easy for them to suffer backlash, so they had to take care of it slowly.

There is not much other industrial base. I just built a lathe with almost enough accuracy, opened a furnace and made some good steel, and made a preliminary prototype of a steam engine...

As for flintlock guns and smokeless gunpowder, he had already produced them. After all, this thing is not much more difficult than a matchlock gun, it just needs to be replaced with a different device. It's just that he didn't have the strength before, so he didn't equip it now. Now that he has succeeded in becoming a general, the production of this product has been ramped up recently. At the same time, a group of masters are studying the application of rifling and fixed-loading ammunition.

With his current industrial base, it may take a little effort to produce guns and cannons like those of the 18th and 19th centuries, but it will definitely be possible if he has enough time. After all, he has a purpose and has the information to keep moving in that direction. upgrade. If he is specialized, he can hit AK with just one click.

The 20,000 soldiers in hand have also been integrated. After some of the old and weak were eliminated, and some were demoted to reserve military households, more than 12,000 were left.

When he had 1,000 men before, he could not guarantee the balanced development of the combat effectiveness of the troops, let alone more than 10,000 men now. Similarly, they were divided into twelve thousand households according to their strength, allowing the strong to stay strong and the weak to move closer to the strong.

The three strongest Qianhu were stationed in Panshan, near today's Panjin. This piece of rice will be very popular in later generations. Wang Yan plans to find old farmers here to farm for breeding. After he takes over the entire Northeast, he will farm in the rear area of ​​Heilongjiang.

Wang Yan has always been paying attention to food seeds, and the secret guards have been looking for them outside. After all, his mission is to feed the Chinese people.

By this time, peppers, corn, and sweet potatoes had all been introduced, but mainly in the southern coastal areas. There should be about the same amount of potatoes now. I haven't arrived in one of those small countries in Southeast Asia, and I can get almost all of them back in one year.

Farming is of course on the one hand, but on the other hand this is the front line of his offense and defense. If he wants to do Huang Taiji, he can go directly to Liaoyang here, which is less than 300 miles away and can be reached in two days. In this way, the safety of Jinzhou City can also be ensured.

Moreover, there is a buffer zone between Houjin and Ming Dynasty. Originally, some troops were stationed here in Panshan. However, seeing three thousand troops approaching, he wisely gave up this position.

The next four thousand households were stationed fifty miles before Jinzhou, near present-day Yi County. In the past was the Guangning rear garrison near Fuxin that he had been tossing before.

The last five thousand households with rubbish combat power were stationed in Jinzhou City. Wang Yan personally led them to the death training, and a group of screaming military households continued to replenish them, constantly raising the bottom line, expanding manpower, and passing on to the front two. Supplement.

In this way, it becomes an offensive posture, looking at Liaoyang from afar to peek at Shengjing, and from near to Guangning. At the same time, he could not only test the grasslands in the northwest, but also force Huang Taiji to increase his troops to guard the gate. If nothing happened, he would pull out his troops and set up a battle array for a while. It not only consumed Huang Taiji's logistics and trained troops, but also helped a group of craftsmen to test the performance of weapons in actual combat, and directly improved, adjusted and upgraded them, which achieved several beauties.

In terms of population, his eldest brother is a minister of the king who oversees Ji Liao, so he is very convenient. Since last month, they have successively brought back a group of refugees that Gao Di took to the customs but have not been resettled until now. Even the old boy Wang Zhichen happily did it without confiscating the money, because this was considered his political achievement, and it was still a big one.

There are probably between 40,000 and 50,000 refugees with their families. Winter is about to come, so Wang Yan doesn't want any more. He will wait until these people are resettled first.

Basically, these people were resettled in the abandoned villages around Jinzhou. If rebuilding the villages would cost too much, Wang Yan couldn't bear it. The money in his hands was not enough now. In order to prevent that old bastard from Huang Taiji from stealing homes and causing destruction with his followers, the first step was militia self-defense, including a series of strict, criss-crossing patrol routes by troops stationed nearby. Ensure that if something goes wrong, we will be in place as soon as possible.

To be honest, he felt really good when he stole from others, but now it's still quite uncomfortable to defend him face to face. After all, there will always be loopholes, and it is impossible to truly cover everything.

There is a saying that the best defense is offense. In two months, his soldiers will be almost fully trained, and winter will come again, and he will have to lead his troops to do the hard work himself. Now he has more than 10,000 people in his hands. When he goes out to fight, he only has one or two thousand. In addition, he upgraded his military equipment, and Huang Taiji merged villages and towns. It was difficult for the regular army and militia to be used together. Unless there is another merger of towns and cities, it is no different from committing suicide. Huang Taiji will definitely die without a complete body.

Huang Taiji has not been pulled down yet. Not only is he alive and well, but he is also listened to when he gives orders, which is impressive enough. Wang Yan does not believe that he can be even more awesome.

The most critical point is that the shipbuilding matter that Wang Yan is most concerned about has been two months now, and there has been no major progress. He sent a lot of money, and then he got a group of craftsmen from the Ministry of Works and the supervisor. Most of them still build river boats, and only a few people build sea-going boats.

This was seriously delaying the matter. Wang Yan even thought of sending troops directly to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to kill all the big families involved in smuggling.

In the end, it was his strength that made him realize who he was, and he could only take his time. Kidnappings, assassinations, threats of this and that were all handed over to the Secret Guard Office.

This group of people claimed to oppose opening up the sea, but they actually mastered key technologies, made a lot of money, and paid no taxes at all. Wang Yan looked a little greedy...

Just when Wang Yan was thinking about uprooting the southern maritime merchants and landlord families and facing the golden mountains and silver seas, Wang Ming walked in: "My lord, the brothers who went south are back and are in your house. "

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Is everything going well? Are the brothers injured?"

"It went well, it went so well. Except for one brother who was scratched on the face by a branch, there was no injury at all. Sir, you don't know, the brothers who came back said that there was no counterattack from the 3,000 men and horses in the Beijing Camp and the Jin Yiwei." , let us three hundred brothers roll all over the ground and scurry around." When he said this, Wang Ming became more energetic and shook his head and said: "If I had known, if we had sent one hundred, it would be enough to fight two hundred to death. How can we waste so much energy? The transportation of equipment within the customs is really..."

In fact, he didn't waste much effort. He Wang gave so much money, didn't he have some cards?

"We can't take risks. Each of our brothers is very valuable, but we can't lose our lives in vain." Wang Yan said, shaking his head and smiling, "Let's go back and take a look."

He strolled all the way from the military camp to the general's mansion.

As the refugees that were accepted settled down one after another, the city became somewhat more popular and was no longer the deserted place it once was. Although there are not many businesses and the refugees have no money, Wang Yan does not close the city gates and there is no curfew. It is inevitable that curious people or those who are brave will come out and wander around.

No matter whether it is the army within the pass or the army on the nine sides, there is no good person. Who can run faster when beating foreign enemies, and who can be more ruthless when bullying one's own people.

Military discipline is developed bit by bit, and trust is cultivated step by step.

Since the battle of Ningyuan was over and Wang Yan was promoted to a thousand households, he has paid special attention to military discipline. I don't want to reach the level of the disciple soldiers later, but I can't be too far behind. For this reason, Wang Yan seriously killed many people. There is also ideological and political education in daily life, which is to constantly tell them what the country is, what the family is, whose country the country is, and whose home the family belongs to. In addition, he really gave a lot, so today military discipline has been corrected. Newly recruited soldiers have their own small flags and general flags to set rules and teach them how to behave.

During the period when the refugees came, in addition to military households, Wang Yan also sent regular soldiers in batches to help with rural construction and house repairs. In the process, military-civilian integration was also promoted.

At the same time, for the sake of social security, to prevent theft, fights, sex photography and other things from happening, in order to prevent Huang Taiji, the 24-hour patrol team, together with some reserve military households, directly acted as police. If you have something to do, just go to him directly. If you don't want to do anything, go to Jinzhou to see Wang Yan. Of course, few people dare to come to Wang Yan. It wasn't until Wang Ming's picket team found out and dealt with several cases that people believed it after word spread.

With the beginning, it will be much easier to handle. Over the past month or so, Wang Yan has dealt with a group of people in a serious manner. This concept must be firmly established. He will do anything to anyone who dares not to do something.

Otherwise, based on the conduct of these big-headed soldiers, they would really be called "military lords". Although the abuse has lasted for a long time and it is still difficult to change this title, it is obvious that there is improvement now and it will get better and better in the future.

In fact, with the current situation around Jinzhou City, it is not an exaggeration to say that the houses are not closed at night and the streets are not picked up. On the one hand, it is the deterrent of patrol teams, and on the other hand, these people are really poor and have nothing to worry about...

When he arrived at his general's mansion, there were a group of young men who had followed him inside and outside the main hall. They stared at the few people standing or sitting in the main hall, idly wiping their knives, guns, crossbows and other equipment.

Seeing Wang Yan come in, a group of boys quickly packed their things and said hello in unison: "Hello, sir."

"Okay, after going back and forth for so long, the brothers are all tired." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, and said to the leader of the three hundred people who walked quickly forward: "I don't need so many people here, with Wang Yan It's enough to show them, take the brothers to the kitchen, kill pigs and sheep, eat well, drink well, and have a good rest, let's go."

"Yes, sir."

In response, the leader greeted the dozens of people in the courtyard to retreat in a hurry. There is no need for Wang Yan to say more. Those two hundred people have already been eating for half a day.

After everyone left, Wang Yan walked to the upper part of the central hall with a smile and sat down. Outside, Wang Ming stood straight with his hands on his swords.

"Everyone, please sit down. You don't have to stand."

Zhou Miaoxuan, Ding Baiying and Pei Lun looked at each other, and finally it was Pei Lun who spoke: "Thank you, sir. Then we have to be respectful and obey your orders."

While talking, the little maid served tea one by one in a sensible manner. Wang Yan took a sip of tea, looked at the people and said, "Do you know who I am?"

"How come I don't know who you are, general, when I get to Jinzhou City? Your name, General Wang, is well-known even when you enter the city." Pei Lun cupped his hands: "It's just... I don't know how many of us you will tie up... Uh, why did you bring it here?"

"For what?" Wang Yan put down the tea cup, looked at Zhou Miaoxuan and Ding Baiying, who were staring at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "To make them my mother-in-law."

It's not that he's pretending to be a show-off. This is the Ming Dynasty, and he is a martial artist, not a little slut who makes love with talented women and courtesans. Moreover, his status has reached this point, so what's the problem if he robs these two civilian girls? There is no need to hide intentions.

Pei Lun was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a while.

Zhou Miaoxuan's eyes widened, not knowing what to say.

Ding Baiying's eyes widened. Without thinking, she slapped the table with a bang, spilling the tea cup. She stood up and said loudly: "Wang, are you dreaming? I want to be your mother-in-law? I would rather die."

Wang Yan glanced at Wang Ming and others who were holding back their laughter and wanted to come in to get someone at the door, and waved them away. Then he looked at Ding Baiying and said calmly: "Don't be so excited. As far as I know, your senior brother Lu Wenzhao is dead, and your disciples are also dead. Oh, by the way, I don't know about Ding Xiu, but there is another one named Ding Xiu. Does Ding Xian’s thing have anything to do with you?”

Ding Baiying's eyes flashed and she said, "What does it have to do with you?"

"It seems to be related." Wang Yan noticed the change in Ding Baiying and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether there is a relationship or not, and I won't force you. Just live in my back house for now. After all, you don't have any. You have to go somewhere, right? Zhu Youjian wants to kill you and silence you, and Wei Zhongxian is helping him finish it off. You will die if you go out. Although there may be Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi in Jinzhou City, I guarantee that they will not dare to touch you. .”

Wang Yan didn't know if there were any factory guards among the soldiers and military households, but if anyone wanted to come, he was completely silent. Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi don't want to eat? They also owe wages. As long as the treatment given by Wang Yan is down-to-earth, is it not better than that in the factory guard? Besides, just for the sake of future, getting to the top in Wang Yan's army is really based on strength, and there is no secret operation at all. If they really want to be rich, wouldn't it be good to give it a try in this army?

The most important thing is that the factory sanitation situation is unclear now, and there are so many dry and dirty jobs. Can't you see this at all?

There must be factory guards or other informants in private households, but these people have no access to any secrets, and Wang Yan doesn't care.

The most important thing is that if Zhu Youjian and Wei Zhongxian know that they are here, what can they do? This is a matter that cannot be brought to light, is it worth touching him for such a trivial matter? Not to mention the interests of everyone in Liaodong, let's just say that the most capable person in Liaodong and even the entire Nine Borders is Wang Yan. He still has more than 10,000 well-trained soldiers in his hands. Why shouldn't he think carefully before taking action?

Besides, Wang, a player with great ambitions, couldn't the whole Liaodong be without his people after such a long time, right? What's more, when he does what he does now, he basically doesn't hide it very much. Many of them are illegal, and he is always accurate. He said that he was actively preparing for war to regain Liaodong. It's certainly okay to say that he harbors evil intentions and intends to rebel. Then why has there been no news after such a long time?

Ding Baiying's face turned red and she gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I die outside, I won't stay here."

"I won't force you, but I never said I would let you go." Wang Yan shook his head lightly: "So, you can't leave."

"Really? I want to see how capable you are as a general."

As he spoke, Ding Baiying stomped her feet, turned her hands into eagle claws, and attacked Wang Yan.

Originally, Wang Yan was not sure about the value of force, but now that he could catch Ding Baiying's movements, it was not a big problem.

Wang Yan stretched out his hand, grabbed the oncoming hand, and pulled it hard in his direction. He blocked Ding Baiying's other palm with his right arm, and at the same time he leaned forward and took her hand behind her, trying to restrain her.

Ding Baiying stopped her body with her feet on the ground, turned around with the help of Wang Yan, and kicked Zi Sungen straight at the same time.

Wang Yan shook his head, grabbed Ding Baiying's ankle and lifted it up. Ding Baiying calmly thrust her hand in the air. Wang Yan released Ding Baiying easily and freely, and at the same time, he pushed his foot directly up.

Ding Baiying didn't expect this kick, so she quickly held it up with her arms, and then a huge force hit her, causing her to fly up from the bed. Ding Baiying adjusted her posture in the air, staggered back to the door, and was supported by Wang Ming so she didn't trip over the threshold.

After a fight, Wang Yan knew everything. Even Ding Xiu, who has the highest martial arts value in the world, is probably just like that. There are no magic internal skills, just normal martial arts. Even though Ding Xiu is strong, he is limited. Compared to a player like him whose body system has been developed and reached its current limit, it is still almost meaningless.

And his combat experience is there, he is invincible throughout the Republic of China, and he is an absolute god of war. In addition, his spirit is extremely high, which is not far above ordinary people. It is too serious. The reaction of the brain is matched with the reaction of the body's nerves, which is called fast. Within normal martial arts, I guess he has no opponent.

"Aren't you convinced?" Wang Yan looked into Ding Baiying's angry eyes: "Take care of your injuries. Once the injuries are healed, let's compare the swords. My big head is waiting for you to chop it off."

After saying that, regardless of the incompetent and furious Ding Baiying, Wang Yan turned to look at Zhou Miaoxuan who had not yet reacted...
