    Li Lang, the deputy commander of the Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army, sits in the West Camp, and the powerful Qinghe Army wanders around the border of the controlled area, ensuring the stability of the newly occupied area.

    Chen Ziang also knew very well in his heart that the battle was actually about the comprehensive strength of the two sides, and the army was just the most direct manifestation.

    Their Qinghe Army Second Corps is now poor and empty, although the army's fighting spirit is high and its combat effectiveness is sturdy.

    But the basis of all this is based on having enough food and sufficient military pay.

    Most of their food and military pay are obtained through war support and payment, which is not a long-term solution.

    Therefore, Chen Ziang has now turned his main energy to the digestion and development of the occupied areas, and they must be self-sufficient.

    If the logistical support relies solely on capture, once the battle is defeated and there is no capture, they may have problems eating at that time.

    If the army is hungry and has no military pay, no matter how loyal they are, their combat effectiveness will be compromised.

    It is precisely because of this level that Chen Zi'ang now regards recruiting refugees to reclaim the land and restoring production in the occupied areas as his top priority.

    ?Because the provinces of the Far Eastern Dynasty have now become a mess, attacking each other endlessly.

    Moreover, many powerful forces have sprung up. If their Qinghe army stagnates, others will annex them.

    Therefore, in addition to asking Chief Secretary for Administration Qin An to urge the chief executives of various prefectures and counties to resume production and implement the New Deal, he also visited various places in person to supervise the implementation of the New Deal.

    Chen Ziang inspected the newly occupied seven prefectures. In addition to supervising the implementation of the New Deal, he also wanted to show his presence and show his face to the local people.

    After all, in this era of traffic jams and communication blockages, if he didn't go out to show his company, the local people wouldn't even know who gave the benefits.

    Chen Zi'ang inspected Zhoushan Mansion, Baoning Mansion, Ming'an Mansion and Guangdan Mansion westward from Yunxi Mansion.

    These prefectures and counties have all suffered from different degrees of war damage, and many areas are even more empty. Chen Ziang feels quite uncomfortable seeing it.

    Fortunately, the newly appointed chiefs of government at all levels and county magistrates are doing their best to resume production.

    Some of these people wanted to thank Chen Ziang for his promotion, and some just wanted to show off their ambitions, so they did a pretty good job.

    Chen Zi'ang, the Hussar General of the Qinghe Army, was not like those other high officials who held a commanding position and refused to contact the common people.

    Chen Ziang is more casual, not only walking around the streets, but also going deep into the fields to understand the people's conditions, which is actually quite fruitful.

    In response to some problems that have arisen in various places, Chen Ziang also called a meeting immediately to discuss solutions.

    It took Chen Ziang only half a month to inspect several prefectures and counties, but he was exhausted.

    So he decided to return to the headquarters of the headquarters after inspecting the Wanjin Mansion, set up an inspection and supervision team, and send them to various prefectures and counties.

    Because he felt that if he did everything by himself, he might exhaust himself to death.

    After Chen Ziang's car arrived at the Wanjin Mansion, apart from sending a principal out of the city to respond, the Chief of Government Affairs Song Zhi did not greet him personally.

    "What is this Song Zhi doing? Didn't he know the general was coming?! How could he be so negligent?"

    ?Compared to the mighty officials from other prefectures and counties swarming to welcome them, the deserted Wanjin Mansion immediately angered Qin An, Chief Secretary for Administrative Affairs who accompanied Chen Ziang on inspection.

    As the Chief Secretary for Administrative Affairs, Qin An is under his jurisdiction for the chief executive officers of all prefectures and counties.

    Chen Ziang was going to inspect the Wanjin Mansion, and he also greeted Song Zhi, the chief executive officer of the Wanjin Mansion, in advance.

    Now seeing that Song Zhi only sent a chief to greet him, Qin An felt that his face was dull, and worried that Chen Ziang would be angry.

    "General, Lord Qin please make amends. Originally, Lord Song also wanted to greet him in person, but something happened in the outskirts of the city, so he went to deal with it in person."

    The person in charge of welcoming them was also anxious, for fear that Chen Ziang and Qin An would be angry.

    "What happened that is more important than welcoming the general?" Qin An asked loudly.

    "Reporting to Lord Qin, the village officials in several villages on the outskirts of the city were detained by the people. A thousand generals from our Wanjin Mansion said that these villages were riots and wanted to lead his troops to encircle and suppress them. Our Lord Song went to stop them.  "The master explained.

    After Chen Ziang heard this, he couldn't help but frowned. It seems that the local people and their Qinghe ArmyThe relationship is not very harmonious.

    "Do you know the place?" Chen Ziang asked.

    "Report to General, I know."

    Chen Ziang ordered: "Okay, you lead the way, I'll go and have a look."

    "General, Mr. Song has given orders. You have been exhausted all the way. I have prepared food and drinks in the city. Mr. Song will be back soon." The chief paused.

    "Why are you talking so much nonsense, the general will lead the way if he asks." Qin An said.

    Seeing that Chen Ziang and the others were determined to go, the head of the Wanjin Mansion did not dare to offend them, so he took Chen Ziang and the others there himself.

    When Chen Ziang and the others arrived, these villages had already been surrounded by regiments of soldiers from the Qinghe Army, and there was a murderous aura in the air.

    ?The village surrounded by the Qinghe army was also facing a big enemy. Men, women, old and young held hoes, sickles, etc., and confronted the Qinghe army.

    When Chen Ziang arrived, Song Zhi, Chief of Administration of the Wanjin Mansion, was arguing with a thousand generals from the Qinghe Army.

    They didn't expect Chen Zi'ang to come here, they hurriedly stopped the quarrel, and trotted over to see him.

    "My subordinate, Song Zhi, pays his respects to the general."

    "Thousands of people visited Shishan to meet the general."

    "What's going on here?"

    Chen Ziang also asked with a frown when he saw the chilling atmosphere here.

    Song Zhi, Chief of Political Affairs, also hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, telling the whole story.

    ?Because of the instigation of the local gentry, the villagers have always maintained resistance to the Qinghe Army.

    So the officials stationed in the village went in and wanted to implement the New Deal, but encountered resistance, and then the squires urged them, and they were detained.

    After receiving the news, the Qinghe army stationed in Wanjin Mansion decided to pacify the place by force.

    However, Song Zhi, the Chief of Government Affairs, felt that they could not be suppressed by force, because the impact would be extremely bad, and a lot of their early work would be in vain, just in line with the wishes of those gentry.

    "It stands to reason that the common people also hate the squires, why are they willing to join the squires against our people?" Chen Ziang was puzzled.

    When Chen Ziang was in Yunxi Mansion, he won the support of the people by attacking those squires who caused disasters in the village.

    The people here don't hate the squires in the fish and meat village, but are hostile to them, the Qinghe Army who divide the land, which puzzles him.

    "The general doesn't know. Back then, the 20th Corps of the People's Army forcibly recruited a lot of young and strong soldiers, but now none of them have returned. The people think that their relatives were killed by our Qinghe Army, so they are hostile to us.  Not only did they not accept our favor, but the squire immediately turned his head against us."

    "So I think it's normal for them to cause trouble. We should focus on persuasion and not use force to quell it, otherwise the conflict will be further intensified." Song Zhi said.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
