At the same time, in the second month after taking Qinghe Prefecture, Liu Qiang also returned to Qinghe Prefecture from the capital.
When Liu Qiang returned to Qinghe Prefecture and discovered that Qin He and the others had captured the entire Qinghe Prefecture, his shock was beyond words.
Although Liu Qiang and the others had heard some rumors on the road before, they did not believe that Brother Qin and the others had really accomplished this.
Of course, this does not mean that Liu Qiang and the others do not believe in Qin He's strength.
But such a thing is really unbelievable to Liu Qiang and the others.
However, Liu Qiang's return also brought bad news.
In the courtyard of Qin He's family.
Looking at Liu Qiang who returned, Qin He showed a smile on his face.
Before Qin He could speak, Liu Qiang had already spoken first.
"Brother Qin is really powerful. I have only been here for a few months and I have already captured all of Qinghe Prefecture."
Liu Qiang didn't mean to flatter him at all when he said this.
On the contrary, this is what he said from the bottom of his heart.
Then Liu Qiang recounted what happened during the trip one by one.
Li Tianhe was very cooperative along the way and there were no accidents.
Of course, the Xie family also sent people to assassinate him, but they were all blocked.
For this reason, Liu Qiang and his group of fifty brothers also sacrificed two of them.
After learning about this situation, Qin He was not stingy at all, and naturally gave sufficient compensation to the two brothers who had died.
However, this compensation is obviously insignificant to those who have sacrificed their lives.
At the same time, Liu Qiang also brought bad news, that is, Qin He's reputation was now well-known throughout the capital.
Even if Qin He offended the Xie family and left the capital unharmed at the same time, it could not be compared with this time.
Because this time, not only did the Holy Emperor order the generals who were guarding the border to go south to destroy the Qin invaders, but he also did not even listen to the words of Lord Zhongshu Ling.
This shows how strong the current emperor's murderous intention is towards Qin He.
Of course, this is only because all the officers and soldiers in the naval camp sacrificed their lives.
If the news that the entire Qinghe Prefecture was captured by him now spreads back to the capital, who knows what will happen.
Counting the time, Liu Qiang has already returned to Qinghe Prefecture, so what happened here should have almost reached the capital.
Thinking of this, Qin He couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
Things have reached this point, and there is no room for recovery even if Zhongshu Ling speaks.
Of course, Qin He's original intention to win Qinghe Prefecture was not here, but to use the vacant time to get more food in Qinghe Prefecture.
When the real general guarding the border came, Qin He had to retreat back to East Qin Island again.
The various grains planted in two months should be almost mature in another two months.
In this way, Qin He no longer worries so much.
Of course, in addition to developing agriculture in Qinghe Prefecture, Qinhe also sent Li Yang to search for more uninhabited islands at sea.
When it comes time to face the frontier generals, just one East Qin Island is obviously not enough.
It was precisely because of Qin He's move that the Japanese and pirates who were still entrenched on the sea were successively purged.
It can be said that Qinhe's reputation in the entire sea area is not much worse than that of the capital.
Some pirates were okay. As long as they didn't do anything harmful to nature or kill innocent people indiscriminately, Qinhe could still give them a chance to undergo labor reform on the original island.
As for the Japanese pirates, they showed no mercy and wiped them out immediately when they encountered them.
In just two months, more than ten islands of various sizes have appeared in the Qinhe River.
Many of them are occupied by Japanese pirates and pirates, and the rest are uninhabited islands discovered by Li Yang during his patrol at sea.
It is worth mentioning that the land on these uninhabited islands is extremely fertile and extremely suitable for the development of agriculture.
This can be considered a good thing for the people of Qinhe.
Since discovering these uninhabited islands, Qin He has already sent people to carry out various agricultural farming operations.
It can be said that Qin He is fully prepared now.
Not only in terms of food, but now all the gunpowder in Qinghe Prefecture has also been taken over by Qinhe.
For such an extremely important strategic resource, Qin He will naturally not let it go. After all, what they will face after this is no longer a few corrupt officials, but real generals guarding the border.
Another two months have passed.
During these two months, Qinhe did his best to develop agriculture and at the same time continued to create new weapons.
While expanding their armaments, they are also hoarding enough food.
Qinhe's armed forces have also grown from more than 4,000 militia members to more than 10,000 people today.
Such a number of people was already unexpected for Qin He.
These militiamen also carried out unified management.
Among them, many militiamen have been deployed to various newly occupied islands to build new military fortifications.
Most of those who joined the Qinhe militia were ordinary people who had suffered oppression.
Now that I am with Qin He, not only are my family members safe, but I no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
At the same time, you can also get corresponding salary.
With such good things, more people will naturally come to them.
Of course, there are naturally many people who want to sneak around in the company.
It's just that such people will be screened out quickly.
Among Qinhe's militia, he would never allow such a situation to occur.
Because he knew that when a battle actually broke out, as long as one person made a mistake, it would definitely be fatal.
Naturally, Qin He didn't want such a black sheep to appear in his team.
Therefore, before these militias were formally included, such black sheep were directly screened out.
Just one day in two months.
Finally, Qin He got the news that the generals from the frontier were less than a hundred miles away from them.
To be more precise, Qin He has already arranged things along the way. Anyone with an informant will notify him as soon as he finds out.
A journey of a hundred miles only takes a day or two.
Qin He had already expected this situation.
Before that, Qin He had already arranged manpower to evacuate Qinghe Prefecture directly.
After they evacuated, they did not take away all the food, but left enough food for the people still in Qinghe Prefecture, and also left a lot of seeds.
As long as these people are willing to follow, they will never be forced to suffer from hunger.
However, Qin He's retreat did not plunge the entire Qinghe Prefecture into chaos like before.
On the contrary, due to the implementation of Qinhe's various policies, even though their manpower has been withdrawn, the entire Qinghe Prefecture is still running in an orderly manner.
