In the tavern in Qingdao, a group of foreign merchants were talking enthusiastically there.

"General Jianwei won again, Jianlu's army of 70,000 will be destroyed as soon as he says it." A merchant said loudly, and said to several merchants who had just arrived in Qingdao with a proud look: "You don't know yet! Huang Taiji was also surrounded by the general in North Korea and was angry to death."

"Tsk, I've known."

"The general is going to win again. I don't know what the imperial court will reward the general. Not long ago, I built a public moral monument for the general in Zhaojiabao!" A merchant speculated curiously.

"Destroy 70,000 troops in one fell swoop and force Huang Taiji to death in North Korea. At least he must be granted a title!" Someone estimated.

"I don't know, but after the general wins the battle, we can go to Liaodong to do business, but we need to have a ship."

"We have ships in Fujian. I heard that some people have come to the general to operate recently. There will be no shortage of ships in the future."

...The gentry in Shandong received the good news, and many of them were depressed because the land in Qingzhou Prefecture could not be taken back. However, under the circumstances of Zhao Yan's victory, no one was too stupid to make noise.

Zhao Yan's reputation in Shandong is really like the sky, no one can defeat him. It's useless to make trouble, but it's not too much of a loss. At least he can get land in Liaodong.

When those businessmen knew that Zhao Yan's victory in North Korea, they naturally strengthened their confidence in investing in Shandong. The reason why some people waited and watched was that if Zhao Yan collapsed, they would be finished if they could not get it out for a while.

However, Zhao Yan's big victory in North Korea was too earth-shaking. Even Huang Taiji was forced to death by Zhao Yan. With such military strength, it is hard to imagine that there is anything that can bring him down.

The good news was passed along. When it reached the capital, the good news caught Chongzhen off guard. In shock, Yang Sichang urgently summoned him to meet him.

Yang Sichang took the good news and opened his mouth wide after reading it.

With Zhao Yan's reporting style, he never cheats and speaks with real skills. Naturally, there is nothing suspicious about this good news.

"This...this..." Yang Sichang couldn't speak for a moment, and wondered for a while: "Why is Jianlu so vulnerable? He was so easily destroyed 70,000 people, and more than 30,000 people were arrested."

These 70,000 people are the number of obtained from Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner, of which 40,000 are the Eight Banners of the Mongolian and Han Army, but most of them are the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

"How do I know, what should I do now? What should I reward?" Chongzhen said depressedly.

"The great victory in Changping, the great victory in Zhenjiang, and the great victory in Korea together, Jianlu has been completely damaged. No wonder Jianlu wants to pay tribute." Yang Sichang suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, you can reward him with some empty positions in the reward. As for the officers and soldiers below, you can reward him as much as you should."

"Then Yang Aiqing thought, what kind of empty position would be best to reward?" Chongzhen asked.

"He can be appointed as the crown prince's junior teacher." Yang Sichang suggested.

"Young Master... Well!" Chongzhen nodded and asked Yang Sichang: "How is the progress of peace talks with Jianlu?"

"The envoy of Jianlu has agreed to Duoduo's abdication and become king, and is willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year." Yang Sichang said happily, and Chongzhen said happily: "In this way, the disaster of Jianlu will be eliminated."

"But the front door drives the wolf and the back door welcomes the tiger, but this wolf needs to be used to restrain the tiger. Since Jianlu is willing to pay tribute, let the Liaoxi official army stop all attacks." Chongzhen continued to say with a gloomy face.

...The situation in North Korea has become more stable after being swept away, but Kong Youde, the lackey, has not known where to hide. There are so many mountains in North Korea, so it is really difficult to find this lackey.

In addition to the First and Second Battalions of the Shandong Army Cavalry who returned to Liaodong to assist in defense, the First and Second Battalions of the Liaodong Army Cavalry, and the 8,000 cavalrymen from the New Battalion, searched repeatedly outside the mountains of North Korea, hoping to find Kong Youde out.

Kong Youde and Zhao Yan had a grudge against killing their father.

Although Zhao Yan has no impression of the cheap father after traveling through time, it is too reasonable and it is still worth avenging him.

However, after Zhao Yan searched several cavalry battalions in the mountains for five or six days without any results, Zhao Yan ordered them to stay in various towns in North Korea to rest.

He didn't force this matter much, after all, he had no feelings for that cheap father.

However, the encirclement and suppression of Kong Youde and Yuetuo still had to continue. Zhao Yan transferred the First and Second Battalions of the Liaodong Army into the eastern mountainous area, set up checkpoints along the way, and encircled and suppressed Kong Youde and Yuetuo.

As for King Lee Jong of Korea, he was found in the chaos and rescued, and was already dying, covered in scars on his body, which was shocking.

However, Li Zong's life was very strong. After recuperation for more than ten days, he gradually recovered.

This guy was writing letters every day to ask Zhao Yan when he would withdraw his troops from North Korea. When Zhao Yan looked at the letter and was thinking about how to deal with this guy, an important report came from the Liaodong Operations General Staff.

A report on Li Zong’s evidence.

That is the merit monument erected by Li Zong for the Qing Dynasty! After Zhao Yan learned the content of the inscription, he felt a little goosebumps caused by the inscription. At the same time, he felt like he had a treasure and laughed: "There is an excuse now."

Zhao Yan immediately ordered the Liaodong Operations General Staff to arrest King Lee of Korea and sue the Qing Dynasty for surrendering the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, he ordered the Liaodong Operations General Staff to take over the government affairs of North Korean officials. He will re-register the household registration of the Korean people and count the North Korean population.

"Two exploration brigades must be set up to send them out to clearly draw the maps of Liaodong and North Korea, and to figure out the minerals and resources." Zhao Yan thought, so he issued another order, immediately establishing the "Liaodong Exploration Brigade" and the "North Korea Exploration Brigade" to conduct comprehensive exploration of Liaodong and North Korea resources.

So far, Zhao Yan has established the Shandong Exploration Brigade and two national exploration brigades, called the Exploration Brigade 1 and Exploration Brigade 2.

These two brigades have been exploring other places for a long time and are responsible for exploring the terrain and minerals of the Ming Dynasty.

...The Liaodong Operations General Staff Department Dedao Zhao Yan immediately sent out administrative personnel to take over all the towns in North Korea.

Previously, the towns in North Korea only stationed troops on the third line, and the administrative power of some towns was still controlled by North Korean officials. After the Qing army ravaged North Korea, it was no different from being destroyed at this moment. At least half of the North Koreans died, and there were ruins everywhere.

A large amount of land has become ownerless, and it is another place where immigration is needed.

Under the pressure of the Ming army in the city, North Korean officials handed over their administrative power one by one, but they were not fired, but became deputys and received their salaries as before.

The Korean generals were also removed from military power one by one, and some silver was distributed to them for them to go home to pick up their children. As for King Lee Jong of Korea and members of the royal family, the coefficient was arrested.

The whole country of North Korea, regardless of civil and military affairs, dared not resist at all.

It was easy to see that North Korea fell under Zhao Yan's control, and this three thousand miles of country became Zhao Yan's new territory, but the problem of insufficient population was exposed again.

Population has become the first factor restricting development.
