Shortly after Zheng Wu's battle report arrived, Zhu Bingkun's battle report from the north also arrived.

The four troops of the lieutenant of Zhu Bingkun, and the Zheng Jiu's troops were stationed in the north of Kaifeng to guard against the Baoding troops led by Hou Xun on the other side of the river. However, although Hou Xun's troops had moved during this period, they were just a fancy way and only clamored on the other side of the river, without any actual signs of advance.

As for Xuzhou, Fengyang and other places facing east, except for the slightest movement of Huang Degong's troops, Shi Kefa is still as stable as Mount Tai, without moving or shaking.

Therefore, Zheng Jiu's troops did nothing and only trained every day without mentioning them.

Zhu Bingkun had three troops, and they were divided into two groups, one by one, attacking Ruzhou Prefecture and the other by Henan Prefecture. Ruzhou and Henan Prefectures were poisoned by bandits for a long time. The Ming court's official institutions had already been in name only, and the strategy was very smooth.

When Ying Yi received the battle report from Zhu Bingkun, Zhu Bingkun's three troops and two troops had already joined forces at Tongguan.

The Tongguan Guard guards the Guanzhong portal, and this place must be defeated. If you conquer the Tongguan Guard, you will be in the hands of Ying Yi, whether you send troops to Guanzhong or resist the Ming army in the future. If you cannot conquer the Tongguan Guard, your initiative will be in the hands of the Ming court.

The Tongguan Guard had 5,000 troops, which was still a soldier left by Sun Chuanting when he went to war. The elite troops were not considered to be. However, relying on Tongguan's geographical advantages, it was not very easy to attack.

However, Zhu Bingkun's confidence in the battle report was beyond words, so there was no need to worry about Ying Yi.

In general, Ying Yi's victory was awesome in the past ten days. In the whole of Henan, except for the three prefectures on the opposite bank of the Yellow River, the rest of the others have been broken. Just waiting for the provincial governor and the Imperial Law Office to follow up, they will essentially be included in Ying Yi's rule.

As for the Ming court, although Ying Yi received news from Tian Hongyu more than ten days ago, the troops in various places were slow to react or simply did not respond, allowing Ying Yi to easily achieve the goal of conquering Henan.

In any case, the rampage of the thieves had a great impact on Ying Yi. If there were no thieves, it would not be so easy to conquer Henan.

The rampant thieves not only caused the people to suffer, but also destroyed the Ming court's rule over Henan, and also brought potential forces to Ying Yi's resistance - both nobles and powerful men arrived in Kaifeng. After Ying Yi captured Kaifeng, he cleaned it up in a wave.

This prevented all the troops from conquering cities and territories from encountering too much resistance.

If there were no thieves raging, it would be difficult to conquer Henan. With its original traditional status, all kinds of powerful people and nobles were everywhere.

It is necessary to cleanse and kill.

In fact, if Henan is not in chaos, Ying Yi will not rise with the current path.

Now for Ying Yi, the Henan prefectures are like a piece of white paper. The powerful and powerful are gone, and all industries are in ruins are waiting to be developed. It is the time to show their strengths and strengths.

Of course, before this, we must resist the counterattack of the Ming court - probably the last wave. The Ming court has no spare energy.

Ying Yi knew very well about this and believed that his troops could handle it easily.

The most important thing is to establish a production line for gold and yuan alloys and start the prelude to large-scale manufacturing of components. Therefore, putting aside the battle report, Ying Yi devoted all his energy to the inscribed ingots.

...

Kaifeng.

Because the troops and horses of various groups were unstoppable, the newly built state government office and the Imperial Court Office were almost on fire.

Sun Xiucai even took action personally to leave Kaifeng, inspect public security in various places, and presided over the establishment of imperial law yamen at all levels.

However, Zheng Yunzhi is as stable as Mount Tai and is very skilled in government affairs.

After all, Sun Xiucai became a monk halfway through the journey and was originally just a scholar. Although he gradually gained his skills and improved his abilities, he was still a bit inferior to Zheng Yunzhi.

I can't let go of many things and I'm afraid of omissions.

The order in Kaifeng became more and more stable with the last wave of cleaning. Wang Yisheng cooperated with the Imperial Law Office to suppress public security steadily. After the provincial and ministerial yamen repaired the city with labor-for-relief, he organized the people to start large-scale land reclamation and farming.

At the same time, batches of grain were transported to Crescent Valley, and were improved by Erniu day and night to become good varieties, and then transported out.

Everything is in order.

According to the plan of the provincial government office, only Kaifeng has more than one million households, totaling more than five million people. Kaifeng should be the center and a large area including Zhuxian Town will be fully opened up. Based on 20 acres of land per person, 100 million acres of land is the first goal.

This number looks very large, but if it is scattered to people, it is nothing. The key is management. Without that ability, things will be messed up and it will naturally be troublesome. If you have the ability, you can be well organized and nothing is a problem.

Of course, this plan is just an initial plan. Not all the million households in Kaifeng are farmers. There are specialized craftsmen and specialized merchants. In addition to various merchants, the original nobles and craftsmen and other groups may only have 80% of the farmers.

Besides the people who were willing to leave Kaifeng and farm on the ground, except for the people who fled into Kaifeng when the thieves were rampant, not many people in Kaifeng were willing to leave the city to live.

According to statistics, resettlement of this part of the people who are willing to leave the city is the top priority. As for the others, we will do it step by step.

Early in the morning, when the red sun was about to get up, Zheng Yunzhi used breakfast, changed clothes and changed clothes, and was going to work at the provincial governor's office. Mrs. Li sent him to the door and complained, "I'm busy for a few days and don't touch the ground. Your son-in-law treats you as a cow."

Zheng Yunzhi laughed: "When he comes back to see Zi Niang next time, you will be a good arrangement."

As he said that, he turned over and said, "I have been in a ten-year hardship in the people's livelihood and the difficulty in taking steps in the officialdom. Isn't it just my heart if I have a place to use it now?"

When Mrs. Li saw him riding his horse away, she just smiled.

Although Ying Yi's rise was just the first step, it has changed the fate of many people. In the original history, Zheng Yunzhi's reputation was unknown. Perhaps he was discouraged and abandoned his official position. Even more likely he died in the rampage of thieves.

But now, he has become the future father-in-law of the "rebel" Ying Yi, and has controlled most of the government affairs on Ying Yi's ground, and has a place to use his skills.

It can be foreseeable that in the future, if Ying Yi decides to govern the Jiuzhou, he will definitely be positioned as a high power, with one person being less than ten thousand people.

So Zheng Yunzhi is no longer entangled.

At noon, Zi Niang and her maid went out and took a sedan chair to Ying's mansion.

Zi Niang and Ying Yi have not yet married, so they should not meet according to etiquette. However, Ying Yi is not in Kaifeng, so there is no need to worry.

These days, Zi Niang often goes to Ying Mansion, and she probably declares her status as a hostess. But she is becoming more and more familiar with Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun.

Neither Chen Yuanyuan nor Li Xiangjun competed with Zi Niang during the process of getting along. They knew their position very well - their origins determined that they would inevitably be inferior to those of a lady like Zi Niang.

Therefore, it is very welcome.

In Zi Niang, the concubines of these two husbands are versatile, good at singing and dancing, good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and gentle, and they are not fighting or robbing in dealing with people, and they are also very satisfied.
