After a long journey, countless people frantically passed through the Ural city gate and poured into the mud in Eastern Europe.

It is the beginning of spring. Although everything is reviving, the frozen soil has just begun to melt.

Therefore, most of the vast land is deserted and muddy.

And on this thousand-mile land, there are riding everywhere, and fighting almost everywhere.

The Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners 321 Niulu led almost all the troops to go deep into the territory and began to attack cities and villages.

This is also Huang Taiji's strategy.

The land here is too vast and the distance between villages and towns is very far. If the army is united, the progress of 70,000 to 80,000 people in Manchuria and Mongolia will inevitably be unsatisfied...

Instead, the troops were broken into pieces, and the army was divided into two or three hundred people based on Niulu, and they went deep into various places to attack villages. If they encountered strong enemies, they could roar away with their fast horses, and then gather nearby troops to fight back.

At this time, it was still cold and cold west of Urals. Fortunately, the Jiannu people were used to it compared to Siberia and their hometown in Liaodong.

However, the Russians were by no means vegetarian, and their counterattacks were extremely fierce. A large number of Cossack cavalry dispatched from the Western Front and the Russian infantry legions carried out very tenacious resistance.

It can be said that... Jiannu was bleeding on a large scale at this time, and such huge losses were so great that Huang Taiji had to write books frantically, allowing those who were recruiting people and resting in the rear to rush to reinforce immediately.

But no matter how difficult it was, Huang Taiji decided to continue to persevere.

Although thousands of casualties have been killed or injured in several months, this has been a heavy loss for the Eight Banners, who can only barely collect 50,000 or 60,000 people and almost all the strong Jiannu people.

But he knew very well that if he didn't take this opportunity to occupy more land, Li and Zhang might have to pick peaches after the rest.

The brothers should get as much profit as they spend their blood and sweat. Once they retreat to the east of Urals, the blood of these people will be in vain.

Therefore, the only thing he can do now is to continue to increase troops.

In addition, we must constantly study the enemy's tactics based on the reports from the front.

The Russians had a very powerful phalanx, and they were said to have learned it from some Swedes. Moreover, their Cossack cavalry should not be underestimated.

The most important thing is that they are very tenacious, and they can still fight to the death even when the number of people is obviously less than that of the Jiannu people who are rushing to attack.

Even their civilians, even women and children, are often unwilling to surrender.

This caused great trouble to the Jiannu people.

Of course, the Jiannu people are not bad either.

On one hand, they were red-eyed and greedy for wealth, while on the other hand, they were desperate to protect their own land, so they became two giant beasts, without any timidity at each other. Even if they let themselves bleed, they must do everything possible to kill each other.

But when it was late in spring, Huang Taiji was still desperate.

Because at this time, in the Ural city gate, Zhang Xianzhong's pioneers had arrived fiercely.

Immediately afterwards, the rest and the newly renovated refugee army also arrived in Ural one after another.

These people who were pale and thin at the time and were ragged in rags are now all replaced with bird guns and are energetic.

There are a large number of firearms, and even several heavy artillery pieces. Everyone is wearing coats that resist the cold, and there are even short guns inserted diagonally on both sides of the left and right.

After the army gathered, the new forces from the East began to march straight into the sky. Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's purpose was very clear, that is Moscow City.

Therefore... the vast army, without any stop, was like a sharp knife, stabbing directly into the heart of the exhausted Russians.

…………

Lushun City.

This place is changing every day, and the population here is now uncountable.

Because the population is increasing every day.

And the vast majority of them are people who come from the Guan area.

In addition, the merchants gathered from sea and land, although the civil servants were racking their brains, they could no longer make accurate statistics.

At this time, many people predict that the population of Lushun should be above 700,000.

This is definitely an eye-catching number.

Although there are definitely many such huge cities in the pass, this place is not the warmest Jiangnan as spring, nor the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but just a bitter and cold place.

Once the population is larger, it is inevitable to be congested and noisy. The city is expanding almost every month.

The only benefit is that... the land that the Zhang family can provide to attract population is infinite. In Liaodong, what is never short of is land.

People who come and go from south to north have brought countless messages, and countless messages from Lushun have spread throughout the world through merchants.

The convergence of the three religions and the next generation has given birth to countless industries.

But the most lively one is always tooth.

Of course, Liaodong is now banned from trading, but now there are many foreign populations, and whether it is rental or hired trading, it is still very popular.

But in the past few days, many tooth shops have hung up signs and they are actually selling land.

This incident immediately caused an uproar in Lushun.

You should know... the vast majority of the land in Liaodong is in the hands of the government, but at the same time, it is strictly forbidden to sell it.

The land in Liaodong adopts the metric system, that is, if those who settle down, they can obtain farmlands by themselves.

As for other land, long-term leases are carried out according to different land uses.

Therefore, there is almost no saying of land purchase and sale here.

Liaodong's new policy is implemented the most thoroughly. However, in this era, many people's mentality of looking at land is still tens of decades ago. They always feel that they do not have any land of their own, and they are inevitably a little uneasy in their hearts.

In addition, the most common people in Liaodong are the giants. These big merchants have already made a fortune with the east wind of Liaodong, and they are rich.

Their news was also the most informative. Now that they heard that they were selling land, they hurried to inquire, and then they learned that... it turned out that what was sold was not the land in Liaodong at all.

It is the land outside Liaodong.

In other words, the land in Liaodong is definitely not allowed to be traded, but it does not mean that it is not possible outside Liaodong.

In fact, everyone knew the expansion of Liaodong. The Zhang family obtained countless lands from Li Zicheng and the Jiannu people.

Now that the Zhang family is going to sell land, many people are concerned.

With the implementation of the new policy, land can no longer be bought or sold. Even within the pass, although the new policy has not been fully launched, anyone with discerning eyes is very clear that the new policy is the general trend and land has become a hot potato.

But even so, people's desire for land cannot be easily dispelled.

Although the value of farmland has actually been greatly underestimated.

But with the development of industry and commerce in recent years, the value of both ore and other commercial land has increased.

What does land mean?

It means it can be passed on to descendants!

What is the purpose of life? Of course, it is to earn a family business and leave it to future generations.

At least people in this era think so.

The value of gold and silver... is actually constantly depreciating. You should know that from the early Ming Dynasty to the present, with the influx of a large amount of gold and silver, it has actually been like this.

Of course, the Zhang family wants to sell land, and the disadvantages are not without it. That is, are those lands really valuable?

After all, it is a place that is even more bitter and colder than that in Liaodong.

However, although some people are trampling, many people can't help but study.

First of all, the laying of the railway is a foregone conclusion, and the railway company has begun to prepare for construction.

Liaodong spent hundreds of millions of taels of silver on the road and built a large-scale construction, and it was obvious that it was impossible to just throw this silver into the water.

With the railway, it means that there is no longer far away in the horizon.

At the same time, if there are really any products there, you can hire manpower to mine them.

Of course…the most important thing is…the land there is very cheap.

It is said that the price of the Zhang family’s purchase is collected by one penny per acre, one penny... In Liaodong, what is a penny? Nowadays, a few penny can’t even buy a steamed cake.

How funny it is to buy a few acres of land with one steamed cake!

Therefore, many people were moved.

At first, everyone went to Yashang to inquire about the news, and then they realized that the Zhang family would auction the land soon.

Nowadays, the Zhang family is sorting out the land. After sorting out and clearing, some of the land that will be sold will be confirmed. After that, a map will be made and then piece of land will be packaged and auctioned.

Therefore, many people are looking forward to it.

It was not until several months later that the auction house finally officially opened.

There are many people coming, and everyone wants to go and see the fun.

Only then did I realize that there were as many as thirty plots sold this time.

The area of ​​each piece of land is not small, with 30,000 mu per plot, which is directly introduced.

Thirty thousand acres... If this is placed in the pass, it will definitely be considered a big landlord.

But here... it is just the lowest unit of calculation.

So in the minds of many people, they automatically restored the size of the 30,000 acres.

For such a big land, I am afraid that I can’t walk alone for a day and a night!

Therefore... many people were intrigued.

Zhou Yangsheng is one of them. He was doing silk trading in Liaodong. Now with the development of Liaodong, he has been gaining gold and fighting every day. He has long been thinking about these lands. After all, he has money, but land... To be honest, if people have silver, how can they not have a desire for land? Unfortunately, even if they are rich, they cannot be involved in the land in Liaodong and the pass.
