Because there is an iron ore in Changzhou Prefecture, the one who stays behind is Zhu Duwei, who is good at logistics.

When you arrive at Suzhou Prefecture, who stays behind?

The geographical location here is important.

Needless to say, the Yangtze River is natural danger to the north, Songjiang Prefecture to the east, Changzhou Prefecture to the west, Jiaxing Prefecture to the south, and Huzhou Prefecture to the south.

Jiaxing Prefecture and Huzhou Prefecture are still under the rule of the imperial court.

Hangzhou Prefecture next to Jiaxing, which has been stationed in tens of thousands of imperial soldiers since last year.

If the troops from Hangzhou Prefecture head north, Suzhou Prefecture will be in danger.

The left-behind people have to resist for at least a few days until Deng Jian’s main force can return to the rescue from Songjiang Prefecture.

The same Suzhou Prefecture City has a population of more than 100,000. Because of the prosperity of the people, the Maitreya religion has not spread widely and has no sense of identity with the Chuzhou army.

How to stabilize the place is also an important task at hand.

In the back hall of Suzhou Prefecture, the Chuzhou army generals who were following Deng Jian’s eastward expedition were looking at each other.

Staying in Suzhou requires a general.

Deng Jian's eyes fell directly on Huo Bao.

Huo Bao sat first on the west side of Deng Jian, and sat first on the lower side of the Yangzhou surrendered general Jin Cuo.

The first person on the east side is Marshal Yu, and the next person is An Yong.

Deng Jian looked over, and Huo Bao certainly would not misunderstand Deng Jian that he asked Jin Zhuo to stay behind.

After all, Jin Cuo was a surrendered general, and Suzhou Prefecture's geographical location is also important.

That person is himself.

Huo Bao was not surprised, but he was just a little regretful.

If you can't follow Songjiang Mansion, you won't have the chance to meet that "Jiu Master".

I had thought about taking this opportunity to meet the "Jiu Master".

Just when the child soldiers come out, they can't fight and stop in Suzhou Prefecture.

I am not short of military achievements, and the boys who are looking forward to fighting are red.

Qiu Wei gave up and made contributions to the attack on Jinling before; Hou Xiaoming and Shi San have not yet gone to the battlefield.

If you stay in Suzhou Prefecture yourself, most of the child soldiers under your command will stay in Suzhou.

Suzhou Prefecture is the two counties where the prefecture is located, including Changshu County, Wujiang County, Kunshan County, Jiading County, Chongming County and Taicang County.

This time, the attack on Suzhou is different from the attack on Changzhou. It is to concentrate troops and first besiege Suzhou Prefecture City, and Xiatou County has not yet sent troops.

"Cousin, six counties of Suzhou Prefecture, Jiading, Chongming, and Taicang are facing Songjiang, just on the way to the army's "East Expedition". Let's hand over the other Changshu, Kunshan, and Wujiang to Hou Xiaoming and others?"

Huo Bao directly divided the six counties that were not captured by Suzhou Prefecture and asked for battle with Deng Jian.

When will you have to wait for this time if you don’t invite a fight?

With Deng Jian's speed, if you are too late, nothing will be taken.

Deng Jian nodded, saying that Huo Bao had asked for it.

In Deng Jian's eyes, what he considered was not the land of one state and one county.

However, all the generals under Deng Jian felt reluctant to let go, but they didn't say anything.

Huo Bao's army was originally a partial army. With Deng Jian's "East Expedition", he also performed well when he fought against Changzhou.

Now that I want the three counties of Suzhou, it is within my reach.

If they stop me, they will be distracted.

Huo Bao is the "young master" of Chuzhou Army, and Deng Jian's son-in-law, not an outsider.

Xie Erjing accompanied the last seat and looked at Huo Bao with his eyes flashing.

This is the young master of the Chuzhou Army!

At the age of fourteen, two years younger than his eldest daughter, and Geng, his second lesbian.

Xie Er was good-looking and had a high eye when he got married. He didn't choose his wife's status or wealth, but he chose his wife's beauty. As a result, he went to his twenties and went well and married a stunning beauty.

The couple got married for eighteen years and had two daughters and two sons, two pairs of "good".

Where is there a better way to form an alliance than a marriage?

However, this high branch is not easy to climb.

Xie Er glanced at Deng Jian, who was sitting in the main seat, and would the Deng family stop him?

But Huo Bao is the only son, and the little girl from the Deng family is still young and has the most important descendants. There is no way to do this.

Xie Er became more and more enthusiastic.

When he saw Yu, An and his son-in-law, he disagreed.

What's the point of marrying the Huo clan without staring at him?

It's just a name, can you borrow any more light?

The 32,000 defenders in Suzhou had 1,300 casualties and 30,700 prisoners.

These soldiers were defenders of Jiangnan East and were different from those of Changzhou Prefecture. Among them, only a few thousand were from Suzhou Prefecture, and the others were from foreign soldiers.

For soldiers from Suzhou, they were sentenced to the hard labor camp for three months. The city walls and gates that collapsed due to artillery before were repaired. After the service was over 45 years old, they unarmed their armor and returned home. They were under 45 years old and joined the Chuzhou Army Reserve Army.

The soldiers from other prefectures were sent to Changzhou for three months. After the service, they also left their armor at the age of 45 and returned home and joined the Chuzhou Army Reserve Army.

The recruitment of officers and soldiers along the way is all this policy.

The officers and soldiers who did not resist should be eliminated directly, and the remaining ones would be included in the reserve army; those who resisted should be punished for labor and then reorganized.

On February 22, three days after Suzhou Prefecture changed its ownership, 25,000 surrendered troops were taken to Changzhou Prefecture.

On February 23, Deng Jian left five thousand soldiers to help Huo Bao guard Suzhou, took the remaining soldiers and horses to Songjiang Prefecture from the waterway.

On the same day, Qiu Wei led 4,000 troops out of the city and went north to attack Changshu County, Hou Xiaoming led 4,000 troops to attack Wujiang County, and Shi San led 4,000 troops to attack Kunshan County in the east.

The child soldiers left Jinling, with a total of 20,000 soldiers. Before, they stayed in Jinling, 2,000 people in Yixing, and 16,000 people entered Suzhou. Three troops took 12,000 troops away, and only 4,000 people remained in Suzhou with Huo Bao.

These seven thousand people, plus the five thousand soldiers left by Deng Jian before, totaled nine thousand people.

Among them, one thousand people were Huo Bao’s personal guards, who were stationed in Suzhou Prefecture.

Two thousand logistics soldiers guarded 5,000 surrendered soldiers and began to repair the city walls of Suzhou Prefecture.

Suzhou Prefecture was besieged once, and the biggest problem now is the shortage of food and grass.

Who made the largest grain shops in the city burned to death?

Huo Bao directly ordered the granary of the East and West City Gate Camp.

On the same day, notices were posted in various parts of the city that local residents in Suzhou could register and receive one tenth of food from the yamen with their household registration booklets.

This grain is collected according to the head of the people. The strong men are one pound of grain per day, and the elderly and weak women are over ten years old and young women are 7 taels a day, and children under ten years old are halved.

I can't eat enough, but I can barely cover my belly.

It's not easy to just hide the population.

In addition, the grain is not given for nothing, and needs to be "deducted by labor". If there is no student at home, it is supplemented with money.

The price of grain is compared with the previous price of grain in Suzhou.

This also solved the urgent needs of the scholars and common people.

Ten days later, the place was almost stable, so naturally some grain merchants opened trade routes.

Since Huo Bao stayed in Suzhou Prefecture, he would definitely not just wait for good news everywhere.

Suzhou Prefecture is no less prosperous than Jinling.

With a population of more than 100,000, such a big city has no sense of belonging to the White-Shirt Army, so it is not easy to truly comfort it.

"Check the population and continue to rectify public order!"

Huo Bao sent the mission.

Zhu Qiang was responsible for the investigation of the population. He entered the household registration book one by one to verify the throne.

Wu Yuan is responsible for continuing to rectify public order.

Wu Yuan is now temporarily acting as Huo Bao's personal guard captain, and he has no chance to go down to attack the city and stay in Suzhou.

Huo Bao didn't let him stay idle, so he asked him to check brothels, casinos, and restaurants.

These places are most likely to hide dirt.

There are all white-shirted soldiers in Jinling, so Suzhou is naturally not spared.

Suzhou has such a dense population, it would be bad if it was bewitched by others and caused chaos in the people.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and they are concerned about tens of thousands of defenders, and they act very carefully, and they do not develop religious people like other places.

However, there are people, disputes are indispensable.

Suzhou Prefecture also has the head of the Maitreya Church.

The two counties where the city is located have one of the leaders, but there are no church members and little influence.

Before Huo Bao cleaned up the local area, he asked someone to "invite" the two meetings to the government office.

Two people have the first one, one is Zhang and the other is Li.

The former is a scholar who lost his name, while the latter is a cloth merchant.

The former sent his children to Bozhou to "appreciate" the young leader, while the latter had been in Huai'an Prefecture in his early years.

"What are the plans for you in the future?"

Huo Bao asked directly.

Zhang Hui raised his chest and raised his head, and said with a little noble character: "Of course, we should promote the teachings and spread the teachings, so that the world can know that the Ming King came to the world!"

Huo Bao looked at Li Huishou.

Li Huishou hurriedly bowed and said, "Suzhou Prefecture is under the rule of the Taiwei Lord, and we ordinary people naturally obey the laws of the Taiwei Lord!"

Zhang Huishou heard this and glared at him.

Huo Bao smiled.

This Li Huishou is a sensible person.

Whether it is true or false, those who know the current affairs are heroes.

As for the stubborn Zhang Huishou, Huo Bao also made arrangements to directly send someone to Bozhou to meet the young leader and listen to the young leader's preaching.

The Li Huishou also made full use of his power and recommended him to the front of the stage to "check" the real and false believers in the city.

As for what is a true believer and a false believer, it is naturally the Chuzhou Army who has the final say.

For a moment, Suzhou Prefecture was particularly quiet.
