Chapter 1120: A Way to Stabilize

(Thank you Qingqingzai for voting for the precious monthly ticket, thank you for the reward who chose to take the middle route without left or right, thank you.) )

A day passed, and the battle in Changle County was over.

The harvest is huge, fifteen merchants, all were raided, the gold and silver treasures searched out are countless, because of the relationship of time, there has not been time to calculate thoroughly, according to the conservative estimate of Lu Xiangsheng and others, at least more than 10 million taels of silver, what is even more surprising is that this time a large number of land deeds were searched, these land deeds are not only Changle County, even including Fuzhou, Min County and other places, and some of them are from other Fuzhou counties, the total number of land is quickly cleared out, fifteen rich people annexed land, It has reached more than 500,000 mu, which is an astonishing figure.

The losses are also very large, the casualties of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are not very large, and there are many injuries, most of them are attacked by cold arrows, this is not the biggest loss, the biggest loss, it is the people of Changle County, they all look at the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion with hatred, it can be expected that if you can't think of a good way, the next relationship will never be very harmonious.

Su Tiancheng's purpose is to dominate Fujian, and even the world of the Ming Dynasty, the situation he is most unwilling to see is the hostility between the people and the government, and the situation in Changle County finally made him understand why there will be so many scenes of slaughtering cities in the war of conquering the world, which is not what the ruler or the victor is willing to do, and sometimes he is forced to be helpless, and it must be a huge hidden danger to let go of so many people who hate him.

However, Su Tiancheng will not adopt the so-called method of slaughtering the city, and use the method of killing to maintain the rule of the system, the regime itself is not stable, he has his own methods, even if some people can't turn a corner for a while, these people can always understand through time.

It was late at night. Lu Xiangsheng, He Renlong, Liu Tiehan, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and others were still in the room, did not leave, and they each reported the situation, including the battle situation in the past day and the wealth seized. The casualties of the soldiers, etc., in the process of reporting, Su Tiancheng never spoke.

It was already late in the morning, everyone was very excited, there was no sleepiness at all, and a faint smell of blood was revealed in the room, which was impossible to eliminate after a day of fighting.

Su Tiancheng looked at everyone and slowly spoke.

"Took Changle County. It is our first fight in Fuzhou, from this fight, we should have something to gain, you must remember that killing is not the main purpose, in the future we will build this piece of hot land, today's situation, you have seen. The people of Changle County hate us very much. If the people do not support us, it is the most serious problem, and some of you have also mentioned this problem, thinking that the use of harsh management methods to make the people submit. Many times throughout the ages, rulers have used this method. ”

"I don't deny that this method is feasible, and the common people will always give in when they are in troubled times, but I don't approve of using such a method. The reason is also very simple, we are facing the people of the Ming Dynasty, not some cunning opponent, once we occupy these places, the common people will no longer be our threat, but the object we will manage in the future, the object to rely on, although among these ordinary people, there may be people who hate us all their lives. ”

"As the saying goes, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, as a superior person, if he doesn't have a little bit of bearing, he has to raise the butcher's knife in his hand when he meets any opponent, which is a very sad situation."

"Today's words, I didn't want to say, in fact, our Jiangning camp for so many years, are in accordance with this method, we occupy Fuzhou and Xuanzhou and other places, for the Manchu people living in those places, we can all tolerate, not to mention the people of Fujian, the reason for emphasizing, I want you to understand, from the situation in Changle County, learn lessons and lessons, what kind of model we need to adopt in our future expeditions, after the victory, how to maintain local stability, how to unite the people, How to get the people to support us is the most important task. ”

"My consideration, I still need relief and appease the people, many of the guards invited by these rich people, many of them are locals, we have captured a lot, and killed a lot, even including the family members of these guards, the people of Changle County, are watching us, to see how we punish the captured guards, they are afraid that from our actions, they think that there is more luck and less luck, and they think that we will continue to kill."

"We have occupied Changle County, from this moment on, there should be no killing in Changle County, capture the thief and capture the king, we have always used this method, you must remember, from now on, our main opponent is the rich people of Fujian and some officials in the government, He Renlong and Liu Tiehan have been following me for a long time, when we exterminate the Liukou, the way we take, you should know the way, for the leader of the Liukou, we will never be lenient, but for many Liukou, we are still tolerant."

"The army will withdraw from Changle County early tomorrow morning, camp outside the county seat, and are not allowed to harass the people, and the captured guards will all be released, no matter what the situation is, let them go home, just warn them, don't be the enemy of the Jiangning camp anymore, Liu Tiehan organized the soldiers, clean up the corpses in the county tonight, find a place to bury them, and put them into the ground for peace."

"The county government must start working, and it can't be delayed, there are a lot of things that need to be handled, so I think Zheng Chenggong will be directly responsible for the governance of Changle County."

"There are two things that must be handled immediately, the first thing is to appease the people, those who have been killed in the family, the government should make a detailed registration to see if there are any people left in the family, whether there are any difficulties, what help is needed, the second thing is to clean up the cultivated land in detail, the people cannot do without the land, this is their survival dependence, losing the land, for the people, it is equivalent to losing everything."

"These things, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to do, after all, today we are killing in the county, tomorrow we have to change our attitude, to appease the people here, some people are afraid that they will not believe it, hatred and distrust are very normal, to be able to change the people's perception of us at such a critical moment, is the embodiment of our ability."

"Zheng Chenggong, to complete this task, it is not such a simple thing, you need to take special measures, you have lived in Fujian for many years, you are familiar with everything here, I believe you will be able to do a good job."

"Two days later, the army will march out and take the city of Fuzhou directly, and we can't continue to delay time."

The crowd slowly dispersed, and Lu Xiangsheng and Zheng Chenggong stayed.

Zheng Chenggong was obviously a little reluctant, he followed Xiong Zijian, he had always been in the army, and later passed the examination, he could have gone to the local area to be a petty official, but Zheng Chenggong was unwilling, he still had to follow Xiong Zijian, this time he was able to follow Su Tiancheng's expedition and be able to enter the Jiangning camp, Zheng Chenggong was very happy, and the Jiangning battalion's means of attacking Changle County made Zheng Chenggong feel shocked, and the courage of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion made his blood boil, and he finally entered the army, Zheng Chenggong wanted to follow the fight, Don't continue to stay in Fujian, but be arranged in Changle County.

Su Tiancheng has long seen Zheng Chenggong's emotions, Zheng Chenggong in history, not a talent to govern the place, it is good to lead the army, leaving Zheng Chenggong in the place, it is not his original intention, when he originally conquered Fujian, Su Tiancheng's idea was to retain most of the original officials and continue to govern the place, but the special situation in Fujian caught him off guard, especially many rich people, have formed a huge force, and the power of these rich people must be completely removed, Correspondingly, it is also necessary to eliminate the spokespersons of the rich in the government, which involves the staffing of the government.

Zheng Chenggong was only temporarily under jurisdiction for a few days, which was also because Zheng Chenggong understood the situation.

"Zheng Chenggong, ask you to temporarily take charge of the affairs of Changle County, this is an expedient measure, you must do a good job, you can't let me down, according to our arrangement, in a month or so, there will be a large number of people coming over there in Dengzhou, there are some words before, I didn't say it directly, you have always lived in Fujian, you are familiar with the situation here, the situation in Changle County is special, today's fighting, many officials have been killed, so your first task is to find honest people who are familiar with the local situation, and let them enter the government to do things, Even if it's a three-way house, you have to invite these people. ”

"The government needs money, I will consider these, tomorrow after counting all the money, I will leave a million taels of silver, as for the seized grain, most of it will be left, with this money and food, you can let go of things."

"Zheng Chenggong, Master Lu is an example for you to learn, any good commander, it is not enough to be familiar with the affairs in the army, but also to be familiar with local affairs, so that it is possible to understand the thoughts of the sergeants, after all, the sergeants are from the common people, can grasp the psychology of the sergeants, know their preferences, can maximize their morale, command them to continue to win."

"Lord Lu, about the management of various parts of Fujian, please also worry more, we have talked many times, how to govern local affairs, I didn't think so much before, I didn't think that the situation in Fujian is a bit special, anyway, after the war, Fujian must be stabilized in the shortest possible time, there can be no riots, otherwise our situation will be very disadvantageous, how to govern the locality, you have rich experience, please play a role."
