Xuzhou city gates are wide open.

Ajige, wearing white armor, rode a strong horse into the city, and the Qing army behind him entered the city one after another.

Outside the city, the Qing army camp was also established. The Qing army returning from Jiangbei and the people carrying hundreds of thousands of people were scattered under the city, with noisy voices.

In the palace in the city, Azige took off his helmet and handed it to the guards, and sat on the throne with laughter.

"Hahaha~" A hearty laughter sounded, and Heluohui laughed: "Your Majesty, this time the army is captured, it is enough for the imperial court to spend a year."

Ajige was also very satisfied, "The barbarian dog bites the dog, and I just reap the profit."

The Tang and Lu struggle lasted for more than two years. Ajige took the opportunity to enter Jiangbei and plunder, and occupied it for more than a year.

It can be said that except for Yangzhou and the Yangtze River area, the remaining prefectures in Jiangbei have been plundered by Ajige. Both the big households and the people have been plundered. Almost a grain of grain and a copper plate in the entire Jiangbei have been left for the Ming army.

This time, the Qing army successively abducted 500,000 and 600,000 people, all of whom were able to work, as well as more than 4 million taels of silver and more than 200,000 stones of food, and indeed made a lot of money.

This almost exceeded the success of the Qing army's entry into the pass during the Huang Taiji period, and became a historical crime.

This greatly encouraged the Qing army and increased its confidence.

In the lobby, many Qing generals burst into laughter and their morale was high, as if they had regained their former glory.

Sure enough, it is still robbed, which is more suitable for them and the most morale of the army.

Ajige looked at the Qing generals with a glorious face and laughed: "Okay, the captured Southern barbarians will be divided into one branch and put them on the farm. There will be no shortage of manpower next year."

Under the rule of Ajige, the Eastern Qing Dynasty had degenerated into a military colonial country. Almost all the land in the entire Eastern Qing Dynasty was divided up by the Qing army and the bureaucrats. The people in the territory either took turns to tenants or became flag slaves to cultivate the fields for them.

This restored the Qing army to some combat effectiveness, but it deteriorated the financial situation of the Dongqing. It was necessary to plunder the pass from outside the pass, so that the Dongqing could maintain it.

Obviously, Dongqing is no longer a healthy country now. Unless it can continue to plunder other countries, it will collapse.

However, Ajige was very lucky. In the past two years, he first took advantage of the chaos in the Western Qing Dynasty to rob the wealthy Shanxi, and then took advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty to rob the Jiangbei, which allowed him to accumulate some of his wealth and no longer so panic.

Many Qing generals, after hearing Ajige's words, were very happy, "Slaves, thank the emperor for his kindness!"

Ajige laughed for a while, and he was also very happy. With this group of flag slaves, the grain output in Dongqing's Ming Dynasty would definitely increase, and life should be better.

After all, Zhou and Ming have been stable, and the year is not good, so it is probably not so easy to grab it in the future.

Azig laughed with the generals for a while before waved his hand: "Okay! I'm tired, let's get back!"

The Qing general gave a tribute and left the lobby with a smile. At this time, Ajige said in a deep voice: "Fan Wencheng stays!"

Fan Wencheng, who had just walked to the door, was stunned by Wenyu, so he had to turn around, walk back to the lobby and kneel down and say, "What's the matter for the emperor to call me?"

Ajig's face became gloomy and cursed: "All the generals just now are happy. You are a slave who is so sad that he disgusted me. What does this slave mean?"

Unlike the many Qing generals who are in high morale, Fan Wencheng is not a brainless martial artist. He has short-sighted eyes and only seeks the joy in front of him.

In Fan Wencheng's opinion, if this continues, Dongqing actually has no hope. But what's so bad is that although he knows this, he still has to assist Ajige and die with him.

Even though he knew there was no future, he still had to assist him. No one could know how painful and helpless Fan Wencheng was in his heart.

With this feeling, Fan Wencheng was really not happy, so he often had an old face.

Ajig was very tired of this and wanted to scold him for a long time.

"Emperor, now that the internal turmoil in the Southern Dynasties has ended, Zhao Zamao has become the regent. I really don't know what to be happy about. Although the emperor plundered countless money and grain from Jiangbei this time and abducted hundreds of thousands of people, the Southern Dynasties is not the Chongzhen Dynasties. I have seen that Zhao Zamao's appearance of starting a northward army is really not happy!" Fan Wencheng kowtowed.

Ajig's muscles twitched on his face, his eyes were piping off fire in anger, as if he wanted to eat people, which scared Fan Wencheng so much that he kowtowed repeatedly.

However, Azige was speechless for a moment and said angrily for a while: "You dog slave, you are really disappointing!"

While hundreds of thousands of people gathered under the city of Xuzhou, there were endless tents outside Yangzhou, and hundreds of thousands of refugees from Jiangbei gathered.

After the Ming army crossed the Yangtze River and entered Jiangbei, the army did not continue to pursue the Qing army, but immediately entered the heavy disaster relief ranks.

It has to be said that this time, due to the unrest within the Ming Dynasty, Ajige took advantage of the opportunity and caused extremely heavy disasters to the people of Jiangbei.

This disaster is completely a man-made disaster, and Zhao Ming cannot escape the relationship, so he must wipe his butt clean.

At this time, the Regent Zhao Ming, under the escort of nearly a hundred cavalry, walked through a tent.

Gu Yanwu, a senior secretary next to him, said: "The regent, thirty miles along the river, are all refugees, with a total of 400,000 or 500,000, and most of them are the elderly, weak, women and children."

Zhao Ming glanced at the camp and saw that most of the camp were elderly and children, and he rarely saw young and strong people.

Gu Yanwu explained: "According to my understanding, Ajige not only robbed Jiangbei this time, but also kidnapped most of the young and strong men and women."

Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he heard this, "This dog, Tartar, I will deal with him sooner or later!"

After Zhao Ming cursed, he glanced at the tent area that could not be seen at once, and couldn't help asking: "The cabinet discussed how to resettle it?"

Gu Yanwu said: "The population loss in the two Huai Rivers is severe, and many prefectures and counties are empty in nine out of ten households and deserted fields. In addition, these refugees are mainly elderly, weak women and children, so the cabinet prepares to resettle on the spot."

Zhao Ming asked: "Is there enough food? What are the difficulties?"

Gu Yanwu said: "The food is sufficient for the time being. 100,000 stones have been allocated from the military rations. There will be several batches of food later, which will be transported from Taiwan. However, there are indeed several difficulties. First, many families have lost their labor in their prime, second, there are many orphans and elderly people who are not cared for, and third, there will be no clothes and firewood to spend the winter in winter. The Qing army stole the people's quilts and cotton coats."

"The Tartars are really a sin!" Zhao Ming exhaled a few breaths of turbid breaths, and then said in a deep voice: "Young women can remarry and encourage remarry. As for orphans, the orphan king took the lead to adopt one hundred people, and encouraged the soldiers in the army to adopt some. At the same time, the court allocated funds to establish a shelter and adopted orphans and the elderly."

Gu Yanwu said in a deep voice: "I understand."

Zhao Ming nodded and thought, "As for heating, what is the cabinet's opinion?"

Gu Yanwu said: "There is no reserve of cotton coats in the imperial treasury. The cotton coats reserved by the Han Guofan government were also distributed to the soldiers because of the reorganization of the army. At present, they can only collect some old cotton coats, purchase a batch from the trading company, and then organize refugees to cut wood and wood themselves to survive the cold winter."

Zhao Ming knew that today's winter is extremely cold and very long, and it will freeze to death if it is not done properly. Most of the houses in Jiangbei have been destroyed, which requires burning a lot of firewood to keep warm.

Hundreds of thousands of people had to cut down all Jiangbei, and firewood was needed to keep warm in the south of Jiangnan.

Zhao Ming was silent for a moment, "I heard that there are coal mines in Shou County and Fengyang. I want to find someone to take a look. I want to mine vigorously."
