When Chongzhen received Lu Hanqiang's report, he was stunned and laughed. Nature

Fuliao, has become Chongzhen's heart disease, Yuan Chonghuan's time, tens of millions of money and grain every year, but can only shrink Jinzhou, and finally make people hit the door, Huang Taiji a barbaric pseudo-emperor blocked his door and called for himself, this is simply a great shame, and later Guanning Iron Cavalry, although Sun Chengzong is in command, but still shrinking forward, it is good to say that the turtle is not moving forward, and it is very good not to lose the territory again, but the massive amount of silver money still makes Daming breathless.

This time, as soon as Lu Hanqiang arrived in western Liaoning, he directly restored four counties for himself without spending a single money or grain, what a great merit this is, this huge merit simply made Donglin, who had always been opposed for opposition, speechless.

However, Donglin is still opposed for the sake of opposition, since I can't oppose this, then I will oppose you in other aspects, what do I use in other aspects to oppose it? But I really couldn't find a topic for a while, so the court disappeared temporarily.

Regarding the appointment of the prefect of western Liaoning proposed by Lu Hanqiang, it was finally reached in accordance with Lu Hanqiang's wishes, not because the Zhao Qiliang that Lu Hanqiang said moved all the bureaucrats because he was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, but that no one wanted to come to this place. If you think about it, that is the front line of the Houjin confrontation, according to the regulations of the national dynasty, if the city is lost, the civil officials must be killed, and the military generals must be killed, because the military generals still need to continue to let them work hard, so the basic military generals are nothing, so no one wants to go to Liaoxi to be this official, because they are really not optimistic about Lu Hanqiang.

The reason why I am not optimistic about Lu Hanqiang is not that I have doubts about his ability, but because you are only 45ooo people, you will have to face the tough Manchu Qing, maybe one day, the Manchu Eight Banners will come over with a knife, and Lu Hanqiang will run away with his tail between his legs, such a thing, in the eyes of these bigwigs, is definitely possible and constantly realized.

Therefore, Zhao Qiliang successfully became the prefect of Liaoxi Prefecture, and at the same time, officials at all levels and officials in the four counties also had the Lone Chen Party members promoted by Lu Hanqiang, and the entire Liaoxi Prefecture began to operate smoothly.

The second problem is to recruit troops and buy horses, and now for Lu Hanqiang's recruitment of troops and horses, Chongzhen is no longer as jealous of Lu Hanqiang as before, because in Chongzhen's view, the recovery of Liaodong is the most important thing, as long as Liaodong can be recovered, just like Yuan Chonghuan was promised at the beginning, anything can be promised, as for the fear of Lu Hanqiang's rebellion, this is actually more psychologically prepared, because behind Lu Hanqiang, there are hundreds of thousands of Guanning iron horses, what are these hundreds of thousands of people sitting and spending the country's money and food? Everyone knows I know, but I just can't say that in Chongzhen's opinion, even if you Lu Hanqiang rebelled, then you have Huang Taiji's Manchu in front of you, you have Mongolian tribes in the north, and your south is an endless sea, and there are hundreds of thousands of Guanning iron horsemen behind, just in this small place, what can you toss, anyway, don't pay for it yourself, soldiers, you can recruit it, as long as you recover Liaodong? Then I will promise you everything, as for what will happen after the recovery of Liaodong, I will talk about it then.

Originally, Lu Hanqiang wanted Chongzhen to pay for it this time, but as soon as he proposed it, Chongzhen immediately resolutely refuted his delusions.

Daming is rich now, and there are many places to use money, just the 11 million taels you have made for me, I still have to fill the hole you asked for to reduce the tax burden in the northwest, I also have to recruit troops for your eldest brother Hong Chengchou to buy horses to quell the turbulent Kou, and to supply the rebellion in the south to quell the rebellion and luxury, and to sort out the water conservancy, and - anyway, a lot of it, it's not enough to make money and spend it slowly, no, I took out the millions of internal funds you earned me a year, and I want money to recruit troops? You want to go on your own.

Then Wang Chengen also stretched out his hand to Lu Hanqiang unashamedly - you'd better donate some more to Da Nei.

And in the end, it was his second brother Lu Xiangsheng who betrayed Lu Hanqiang.

Lu Xiangsheng took over the helm of the military department, carried out a fruitful rectification of the military department, and then had the support of the two brothers Lu Hanqiang and Hong Chengchou, completely rejuvenated the military department, so with the full support of Emperor Chongzhen, he began his ambitious plan to rectify the guards, and began to abolish the guards in various places.

The abolition of the guard post is not like the original Donglin abolition of the post station, an irresponsible withdrawal, the choice is Cao Huachun stood up, promised to give priority to the public land in his control to those military households and guards who have been dismantled, so that they have land to cultivate, and at the same time put money and grain to resettle, this will cost a lot of money, and the abolition of the guard post will implement the recruitment system and re-recruit soldiers, although according to the regulations, the salary of these soldiers is far lower than that of Lu Hanqiang's Fuliao army, only one or two or five dollars of silver per month, but this is also a huge expense, Therefore, when he saw that Lu Hanqiang was about to reach out and ask for money, Lu Xiangsheng immediately found Chongzhen to dig up the corner of his little brother, and under Chongzhen's promise - as long as Lu Hanqiang raised his own funds, then the money that should be given to Lu Hanqiang would be given to you, and he wrote a letter to Lu Hanqiang to complain about his grievances.

So Lu Hanqiang completely died of the idea of asking for money from the state, and raised funds by himself.

After getting Chongzhen's approval to recruit troops, Lu Hanqiang decided to start recruiting troops, for the place to recruit troops, the original meaning was that it was recruited locally in Liaodong, but Lu Hanqiang opposed this suggestion for two reasons, first, Liaodong has been in war for a long time, and the population has been seriously scarce, and the places occupied by Liaoxi themselves need to be opened, and a large number of young and strong people are needed, and it is impossible to rely on women, the elderly and children alone, if they recruit an army here. In fact, this is a blow to his follow-up strength, which is very not cost-effective, second, Shanxi and Shaanxi, displaced people everywhere, now Shanxi's number one Yao Tongxin, is his old brother, can not watch him be drowned by the army of displaced people, therefore, recruit troops from Shanxi, this is the best policy, as long as the strong labor of Shanxi and Shaanxi is drawn to the northeast by themselves, then, Li Zicheng's strength, which has begun to emerge, will not grow rapidly, which is also a salary drawn.

Moreover, the people in the northwest are fierce, and the western armies of all dynasties are the most capable of fighting, especially because they have no permanent property, so they can also put down all the peace of mind against the enemy, these several benefits are put together, which is why Lu Hanqiang is ready to continue to recruit troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Everyone also thinks that this is right, which is equivalent to settling down Shanxi and Shaanxi, and it can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone.

Therefore, Lu Hanqiang immediately appointed capable men to recruit displaced people in Shanxi to form a new army, and this time Lu Hanqiang's goal was 50,000.
