On April 12, 1650, several shallow water gunboats of the "Amur River" class slowly docked on the Cixi River. More than 400 Shun Army officers and soldiers who had "communicated" from Huguang area were quickly taken away by Zhang Guangcui who came to pick them up. After he left, Cai Huaze, who came back from Tiannaobao to prepare military orders, looked at these soldiers with Xiangyang accents in a complicated expression, as if he thought of himself many years ago. He was also the army that the King of Breakthrough founded the Five Battalion Military System in Xiangyang and set up an official to manage the local area. Now, seven or eight years have passed, and he can still hear the long-lost local accent again in Yin County, a place thousands of miles away, which makes him feel very moved.

Cai Huaze's current position in the Dashun Army is quite subtle. To put it bluntly, he was quite excluded by Liu Guochang's subordinates. Although his subordinates were the first to receive military training from the East Coast people, changed clothes first, and had the highest degree of firearm transformation, he was too close to the East Coast people and was still suspicious of Liu Guochang, Liu Shijun and others. Even the younger generals such as Yuan Bao, Zhang Guangcui, and Zhang Jingchun also had a faint distance towards him, which made him very depressed.

"I heard that Guo Shuai has been promoted to General Right Guoyi of the Central Camp. At worst, I will not be able to get back here and join Guo Shuai. If this is not easy to achieve, then I might as well throw the East Coast people to calculate the ball! I will save myself from the leisure of Liu Guochang and other grandsons of the left camp. Zuo is just a deputy general, and he is so arrogant! I have had a banquet with Mo Dashui, Commander Mao, and Shuai Shao. What are you? Humph!" Cai Huaze hated Zhang Guangcui's cold attitude towards him just now, so he secretly said that he was ignorant.

After being angry, he was too lazy to go with them and went straight to his foothold outside the city. More than 100 muskets sent to the East Coast people to repair were already stored there, and there were gunpowder, lead, bows, arrows, leather armor and other utensils, packed and brought back to the soldiers. Commander Liu's meaning was clear just now. After a few days, another army from Shandong arrived here, he could advance westward and go to Shaoxing Prefecture to find the main force of the Qing army to fight.

Just as Cai Huaze was whispering back, Liu Haiyang, the government official in Yin County, was quickly dealing with official duties: how to arrange military garrison matters. Since the East Coast people were outsiders, they swept away a large number of local pseudo-Qing officials a while ago, so they had almost no supporters on this land. This can be seen from the fact that the officials in the county and government officials fled. These clerks who had accumulated over the years were originally local clans, and naturally they refused to serve them when the East Coast people wanted to equalize their fields. Moreover, not only would they not serve the East Coast people, but if they had the chance, they would also inform the Qing court, and even organized a group training to bite the East Coast people.

Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold in Ningbo Prefecture, you have to rely on the troops you bring. For example, this time, the division of land for Sun Shouzheng's troops and more than 3,000 officers and soldiers from Ding Weiyue's troops from Dezhou was a solid move. When the land in the local area has basically been annexed by the rich, if you want to have enough land to be distributed to the servants, you have to take advantage of the vested interests. In addition, provoking the relationship between the originally poor peasant tenants and the master's family, creating class conflicts between them, and distributing the master's fertile land to the proletarian tenants who follow the East Coast people, the only way for the East Coast people to obtain limited support here.

As for pleasing the big people, it is impossible to think about it. On the surface, they are vain and vain, but secretly report to the Qing court, and then win over and divide and corrupt your troops. There are a hundred ways to kill you. Therefore, Liu Haiyang thinks that according to the method formulated by Shao Shude, if you don’t play with you, don’t fight with you, we just play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, defeat others, eliminate the old vested interest class, and create a more obedient new vested interest class, so that the rule will be much more stable.

However, the consequences of this are also very serious, that is, the people of the East Coast have become famous among the gentry (it seems to be already terrible), and they will never get the support of the gentry class (in fact, there is no support). They can only rely on their own strength to break the situation and then spend time cultivating their own direct power. Shao Shude's division of land in Dengzhou (currently, more than 5,500 injured and retired servants have been divided into land). This is true. Liu Haiyang's actions in Ningbo are actually quite similar, all for better control and management of the territory under his feet. Otherwise, if he still relies on the gentry's clan for indirect rule, then once there is a three-way and two-way short-term battle on the battlefield, this group of scumbags dares to raise an army behind the scenes, which is really dangerous.

After leading the troops with the two thousand German-spirited volunteer army as the main force, Liu Haiyang quickly eliminated some of the gentry around Yinxian County, he immediately distributed the land, farm tools, grain and plowing oxen and organized soldiers to conduct military camps. Liu Haiyang clearly stated to everyone that the land currently belongs to military fields, that is, everyone's shared property. When soldiers meet the regulations, they can receive a different number of private land based on their service years. The maximum number of service is thirty acres. At present, more than 250 older soldiers have been "gloriously retired" and have lived a pastoral life.

At the same time, the Southern War Zone Command established in Yin County will also organize people to collect soil and burn bricks locally, build unified brick and tile houses for everyone, and even say that the soldiers will marry their wives locally. The issuance of these policies has completely stabilized the hearts of these servants. In the future, even in order to protect their own interests, they will have to fight the Qing army to the end. Otherwise, when the Qing army comes, the descendants of these landlords and gentry who have been destroyed by them will definitely have a bloody liquidation, which is something they can't afford.

"Now the territory we can control is only one area around Yin County; Dinghai County can barely be considered a sphere of influence because of naval ships. Other areas are more complicated and they are basically willing to let themselves go. For example, Fenghua County, Cixi County, Guanhaiwei, if local gentry colludes with the Qing army to be enemies with us one day, don't be surprised, because this seems to me a very normal thing." Huang Yi, who is responsible for trade affairs in the Far East of the East Coast, is responsible for trade affairs in the Far East Coast.

Sitting under Liu Haiyang, he said to him: "So we want to grow grain and develop sericulture. It's better to be around Yin County. Dinghai County can barely do it. Other places are too dangerous. Our people are sent over during the day, but they may be killed at night. I am definitely not an exaggeration. The president of the Stability Maintenance Association we set up in Cixi County (a businessman who first defected to the East Coast) was hacked to death in a brothel three days ago. The murderer has not been found yet, which is a very telling problem."

On the day when the president of the Stability Maintenance Association established by the East Coast people in Cixi County was killed, Huang Yi happened to buy raw silk in the local area. After learning the news, he couldn't help but secretly glad that he had a high sense of crisis. When Huang went out, he followed about a dozen Shandan soldiers brought from the Amur River Basin at any time. Otherwise, he might have died.

"It is normal for the situation of public security to deteriorate now. After all, we have just intensified the conflict here." After hearing this, Liu Haiyang continued to read the official documents and said disapprovingly: "Cixi, Guanhaiwei and the two places in Guanhaiwei are closely connected with Shaoxing Prefecture, and the local anti-east coast forces are rampant. However, Fenghua County does not have to be too nervous. This county is in the south, Yin County to the north, and the sea to the east. Other places are surrounded by mountains and steep mountains such as Tiantai Mountain and Siming Mountain. What kind of waves can we make? Moreover, I heard that this place is quite good. Not only does it produce silk and hemp, but tea trees are also planted in the nearby mountains and hills. The annual picking volume is not large or small, which is also a source of wealth for us."

After hearing what Liu Haiyang said, Huang Yi was silent. Raw silk and tea are all urgently needed goods in the local area. If they can be managed well and their scale output will expand, exporting them to the local area will be a large amount of income in the future. What's more, by producing highly commercialized agricultural products (i.e. rice, raw silk, tea, etc.), the various classes of society in Yinxian, Dinghai, and Fenghua, which may be deeply controlled in the future, can be firmly tied to the chariot on the east coast, so that they can gradually remove the components of traditional agricultural society, and have more factors from capitalist and industrial society, and then gradually drift away from the traditional gentry society represented by the Qing court, and finally completely controlled by the people of the east coast.

Moreover, in the past, present and for a long time in the future, the counties of Ningbo Prefecture, which had been "invaded by thieves", would inevitably be strongly blocked by the Qing court. All kinds of goods needed in the area can only be produced by themselves. If they really don't work, they can only trade with the two Denlai Prefectures and Hei Shui areas, which are currently controlled by the East Coast people. Of course, it is not impossible to trade with the North Korean, Japan, the Dutch, and the Portuguese, which needs to be "guided" by the Black Water Development Team government.

Of course, Huang Yi thought much more than that. He thought even further: In the future, when the older generation of people passed away, it is unknown whether the new generation of bureaucrats in the East Coast who are in power will continue to spend huge amounts of manpower and material resources to immigrate to the Far East. Therefore, if there are some commercial interests to tie them, the possibility will be much greater. This is also the last thing their generation did to expand their living space for the Chinese nation.

On April 14, 1650, the last unit of Xie Qian's troops arrived in Yin County through Dinghai. After dealing with the backlog of official duties, Liu Haiyang immediately decided to send troops to the west, attack Shaoxing Prefecture, restrain the Qing army's forces, and disrupt the situation of the anti-Qing in the south. The troops accompanied were the black infantry battalions of Aoguanhai, the German Volunteer Army, the three minion troops, a total of 13,000 combat soldiers, and Sun Shouzheng's troops (the 500 soldiers who stayed on Daishan Island have been withdrawn) stayed in the old nest of Yin County and were responsible for helping to collect food and grass in the rear; Liu Shijun, the marquis of Shunjunyue, led less than 3,000 people to stay behind two bastions that were still under construction, and the remaining nearly 4,000 troops were led by Liu Guochang. Shun's army also recruited 10,000 or 20,000 masters nearby as logistics auxiliary soldiers for them and the East Coast Army.

In addition, Liu Haiyang also sent people to contact the troops of King Lu, who were still conquering cities and areas in Taizhou Prefecture, to go on an expedition. On behalf of King Lu, Zhang Mingzhen personally led more than 20,000 people from land and land into Hangzhou Bay, preparing to support the offensive of the people on the east coast. To this end, some ships of the Navy stationed in Dinghai County also pulled anchors to escort the troops of King Lu.

For a moment, the entire Hangzhou Bay was full of close combat, which made people breathless.

On the day when the president of the Stability Maintenance Association established by the East Coast people in Cixi County was killed, Huang Yi happened to buy raw silk in the local area. After learning the news, he couldn't help but secretly glad that he had a high sense of crisis.
