At this moment, Gao Jie, in the Jinan Prefecture City, was checking the seized materials.

When the last time he was defeated, the Qing court believed that Shandong was very important. Shandong was an indispensable part of the next Northern Expedition of the Southern Ming army, or the Southern Expedition of the Qing court.

So the Qing court had stored a lot of supplies here, but now it is useless and all of them have been seized by Gao Jie.

According to the idea of ​​the Qing court, after transporting these materials, Fang Dayou was able to recruit soldiers in Shandong. The Qing court also knew that Shandong had a large population, but after several major wars, it was almost empty.

In addition, when Zhu Cixuan went south, he took away all the young and middle-aged people in Shandong. Fang Dayou finally attracted a bunch of mobs, only one number and no combat power, which is also a huge reason for his failure.

When Fang Dayou was dying, he wanted to let his subordinates burn all these things, but when he thought about the evil he had done in Tai'an Prefecture, he did not issue this order.

Fang Dayou knew very well that these things were plundered by the Qing Dynasty. When plundering these materials, I don’t know how many ordinary people died. They were left in the hands of the Southern Ming court, which was atonement for him.

If it weren't for this, Gao Jie would have ruined this guy. Because he left so many supplies, Gao Jie didn't do that too much. He found someone to bury him directly. As for coffins, don't think about it.

After occupying the capital of Jinan, one of the biggest problems Gao Jie discovered was that there were too many refugees nearby. This is the provincial capital of Shandong, so many beggars came here.

If it were all for emergency relief by the court, I really don’t know how much it would cost.

So after asking for instructions from Li Guodong, Gao Jie was preparing to recruit two regiments of troops here in Jinan. On the one hand, it was to alleviate the pressure in the army. After occupying Jinan, some people would definitely be left here.

Our own army is used for attack, and it is not for maintaining public order here, so we can only allow these second-line troops to maintain public order.

On the other hand, it also alleviates social pressure. The two groups have about 10,000 people, but don’t underestimate these more than 10,000 people. When they enter the army, their salary can support at least three people, which is equivalent to solving 80,000 or 90,000 refugees.

Gao Jie asked someone to do statistics. There were about 100,000 refugees around him. The soldiers alone could solve 80 or 90 percent. Can't the rest be solved? If they didn't even have this ability, local officials should be dismissed.

As for the food issue, there is nothing to worry about. The court's pensions and food have been shipped and can be transported here in less than ten days.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is still usable now, so most of the supplies can be shipped, which is much better than the original land transportation.

Although four-wheeled carriages were invented, if everything was transported using four-wheeled carriages, it would be a bit in short supply.

Of course, the most important point is to restore production in Shandong as soon as possible, and the amount of arable land in Shandong is quite large.

If you rely solely on the court's pension, you can only help the emergency but not the poor. You have to let them plant the food first. The next year will be a bumper harvest year. In addition to eating it themselves, you can also pay the imperial court's public grain.

So after capturing Jinan Prefecture, Gao Jie temporarily stopped and asked the court to send a group of civil affairs officials to quickly distribute them to various places to organize people from all over the country to carry out production and self-rescue.

Except for the food rations given by the court, other support has been stopped for the time being. If these ordinary people are not put at a little pressure, they will develop a lazy mind and will only reach out to the court. This is not a good thing.

Of course, there are some better aspects, such as the soldiers' training ground.

When Zhu Cixuan went south, he built a number of training grounds here, but now they have been destroyed by the Qing army, but some of the earth slopes are still left. As long as you find someone to repair them, you can start training immediately.

Speaking of which, this is the place where the first generation of military training was trained. At that time, Zhu Cixuan formed an army with these backward training equipment.

Thinking about Zhu Cilang's ability at the time, Gao Jie was extremely impressed. He relied on the imperial guards and Shenji Camp to capture the four towns in Jiangbei and Ma Shiying.

Among these people, I am very good, at least I have joined the camp of His Royal Highness. Compared with those others, I should be content.

It took Gao Jie two days to convene the soldiers of the two regiments, but just as Gao Jie was preparing to train, an infantry regiment came from Li Guodong.

According to Li Guodong's order, the infantry regiment came to change defenses and asked Gao Jie to send two new regiments back.

Gao Jie immediately understood what was going on. He was on the northernmost front line. Although the Qing army had not yet arrived, it was still extremely dangerous.

Under such circumstances, the risks of training new recruits are quite large. All the soldiers sent to him are veterans, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. This regiment also participated in the last Battle of Qufu and was considered an elite in the entire army.

Gao Jie was also very moved by Li Guodong's kindness.

Such things often happen in the court ruled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Think about the court of Emperor Chongzhen in the past, when officials fought against each other, you pulled my back, and I beat you up the report.

Anyway, there is no time to do serious business, how can we resist the attack of the Qing people?

After having these veterans, Gao Jie immediately sent the scouts out. Although it was impossible to attack Texas for the time being, at least he should have a clear idea in his mind.

Fang Dayou's subordinates were eliminated, but Shandong had other scattered enemies, and the capital in the north also sent large troops. All of this requires slow investigation. If the information cannot be obtained, a rash decision will be made. This is a taboo for military strategists.

After receiving a letter from Prince Zheng Jirgalang, the top Texas breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, Fang Dayou focused his defense on Jinan and mobilized all the troops in Shandong. In a place as big as Dezhou Prefecture, there were no soldiers except for 750 defenders.

To be honest, if you scatter these 750 soldiers on the four walls, you have to be far apart to get one. How can you resist the enemy?

Now that Prince Zheng has arrived, everyone has breathed a sigh of relief. There is a big one holding the sky down. We have a prince here, but I don’t know if he can withstand it…
