There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

Xiangyang Palace.

After Lin Feng organized the screening and processing of the captured officials and Zhang Xianzhong's generals, he came to the Xiangyang Palace and prepared to take a look at the inspection situation.

After Zhang Xianzhong occupied the Xiangyang Palace that night, the Zhenming Army came in very quickly, so they only took away a small amount of gold and silver, and most of the family property was still there.

Regarding the other people in the Xiangyang Palace, Lin Feng has always advocated that only the chief culprits should be punished and other personnel dismissed.

Lin Feng visited several treasuries of Prince Xiangyang's Mansion. Huguang is indeed a good place where "Huguang is well versed in the world". The food in the treasury is piled up like a mountain, estimated to be no less than 100,000 shi. This batch of food can greatly benefit the world. Alleviating the food shortage in Shaanxi.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Xianzhong occupied Xiangyang in history, he immediately exploded his troops on a large scale. It turned out that he had so much food to support him.

In terms of money, all the gold was taken away by Zhang Thief. The silver was very heavy and they were in such a hurry that they didn't take much away. There were still seven to eight hundred thousand taels in the warehouse.

Now there is more than three million taels of silver in Lin Feng's small vault. Of course, most of it has been exchanged for banknotes, otherwise it would not be able to accumulate.

He was no longer interested in collecting any more money to come in, but in line with the principle of not being empty-handed after seeing something in passing, he accepted a hundred thousand taels as a token fee.

There are also a large number of real estate title deeds and various rare treasures. It is true that every vassal king of the Ming Dynasty is a fat sheep, and killing anyone can make the land fatter.

It seems that only Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was the poorest, and his role as emperor was quite pathetic.

After Lin Feng inspected the property of the Prince of Xiangyang, he ordered the Guard Division to send out several responsible personnel to register together and prepare to hand it over to the Prince's treasury. No one was allowed to take the loot without authorization.

At this time, several generals of the personal guard division urged Lin Feng to move to the Prince of Xiangyang's Mansion. They also reported that several of the concubines in the Prince's Mansion were stunningly beautiful and asked him if he wanted to meet them, but he refused.

Just kidding, I'm not a stud, I can't just accept a woman when I see him. In the recent period, they have taken in three beauties from the Qinhuai River. They already have enough women, so forget about other people's concubines.

Considering that it would be difficult for the palace's concubines and maids to survive this time, Lin Feng ordered the generals of the personal guard division to take one home after consulting the women, which could be regarded as helping them solve their personal problems. .

Regarding the issue of living in Xiangyang Prince’s Mansion.

Lin Feng considered that he would not stay in Xiangyang for too long. The matters here were settled and he would return to Xi'an soon. There was no need to build a huge palace here as a residence.

On the other hand, if he takes the lead in occupying the palace, there is no guarantee that the generals below will occupy the mansions of other wealthy families as their own residences. This kind of trend must not be formed.

He decided to follow the practice in Luoyang, and the Xiangyang Palace was handed over to Zhenming Real Estate of Zhenming Group for management. As a high-end inn open to the public, it became a profit point for Zhenming Group.

After leaving the Prince of Xiangyang's Mansion, Lin Feng and his bodyguards returned to Yang Sichang's governor's residence, which he had converted into a temporary residence and office.

After a few days, Xiangyang City became even more prosperous. The people have already felt the Zhenming Army's governance style, which means they will never disturb the people, so all businesses have been reopened and people are coming and going on the streets.

Many buildings that were damaged due to the siege were repaired by the government and a large number of civilians were recruited. The original dilapidated agricultural market was also renovated. These civilians provided meals and settled wages every day in accordance with Lin Feng's requirements.

Only when people get money can they support their families, it can also reduce the pressure on the government to provide disaster relief, and stimulate business activities in the city.

As soon as they arrived at the temporary station, Huang Hongchang came over to report that the 1st Hubei Combat Division led by Peng Xing had arrived near Xiangyang, and Peng Xing had entered the city with several personal guards.

In order to protect the safety of the generals above the Zhenming military camp, Lin Feng has ordered that the battalion commanders and above can be equipped with personal guards no more than 1‰ of the troops they belong to.

According to this ratio, the division commander level can be assigned 10-15 people, the brigade commander will be 5 people, and the battalion commander will be 1 person.

"Oh, they came very quickly, please come in immediately." Lin Feng said. Soon, Peng Xing walked in with a dusty face. When he saw Lin Feng, he saluted and said, "I have met the prince!"

"Peng Xing, there's no need to be polite. Get up. You marched at a good speed and arrived in time." Lin Feng praised, as he was also preparing to capture Fancheng.

"Your Majesty has personally helped us occupy Xiangyang City. If our Hubei Combat Division doesn't rush over quickly, I'm afraid we won't even be able to fight," Peng Xing replied.

"Haha, the battle must be fought. The next step is to attack Fancheng immediately. Let's make a plan first." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Really, no matter when the fight comes, we will already be overwhelmed." Peng Xing said anxiously.

"Fancheng is close to Xiangyang. Of course, the sooner we solve it, the better. Can you tell us how we should fight?" Lin Feng asked Huang Hongchang, Ma Ang, Li Guo, Li Dingguo and others.

"After Xiangyang was lost, Fancheng was like a frightened bird. The city gates were closed all day long, and it was definitely impossible to sneak in. But if the city gates were not opened for many days, the people must have great opinions, and the general felt that he could try the strategy of attacking the heart." Ma Ang said first.

"The attack on the heart must be supplemented by the attack on the city. Only by showing enough strength can the soldiers in the city be frightened to surrender." Huang Hongchang also said.

Lin Feng thought for a moment after hearing this, and then asked: "Counsellor Li, do you have any ideas?"

"Your Majesty, the walls of Fancheng are quite tall, so the damage caused by the attack must be huge. But Fancheng is mainly a military city, and we usually rely on Xiangyang for supplies. Now that the city has been closed in a hurry, there will definitely be insufficient food inside. We can clean up the outside of Fancheng first. , it may be more effective to let them completely lose their supplies and then apply pressure to force them to surrender. "

Li Dingguo analyzed. After he decided to surrender, Lin Feng temporarily appointed him as the commander of the Operations Department of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to first familiarize himself with the Zhenming Army's situation.

"Your Majesty, I also agree to attack the periphery first and then deal with Fancheng." Peng Xing continued.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng no longer hesitated and ordered: "Based on everyone's opinions, Peng Xing, you will lead the Hubei Combat Division 1 to deal with the counties and towns in the north of Xiangyang, attack the periphery first and then attack Fancheng.

When attacking Fancheng, you can concentrate your artillery to carry out bombardment and shock, and then launch leaflets to attack the enemy's hearts, trying to capture Fancheng at the minimum cost. "

"The general will finally understand!" Peng Xing took the order.

"Li Dingguo, you will join the operation as the Chief of Operations Zanhua. Peng Xing, you should listen more to Li Zanhua's opinions." Lin Feng continued to order.

"Yes!" they both replied in unison.

"Li Guo, you will be responsible for recruiting 10,000 troops in Xiangyang and organizing training to prepare for the formation of new troops in the next step." Lin Feng ordered. After occupying Xiangyang Mansion, he planned to form a Xiangyang Combat Division to be responsible for the strategic defense of Xiangyang. Important land.

"Yes!" Li Guo responded.

"Hong Chang, you have been with me for a long time, and you are familiar with our army's governance strategies. Currently, Xiangyang is short of civilian officials. You will be temporarily responsible for the affairs of the government office, select and screen available officials, and restore Xiangyang's economy as soon as possible." Lin Fengke I don't want to handle the government affairs of the government personally anymore, so I first arrested a strong man.

"Okay, I will do my best." Huang Hongchang is also interested in government affairs.

"Ma Ang, hurry up and set up an intelligence network in the direction of Huguang. Your current focus is on inquiring about Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and the imperial army of Yang Sichang." Lin Feng continued.

"Understood, we heard that Feng Wei has made arrangements, and the news will be sent back soon." Ma Ang replied.

"Okay, let's all split up." Lin Feng said and then adjourned the meeting. (End of chapter)
