In Pingyang City, Huo Cun, who is undressed and dangling, is also holding it with one hand. He personally inspected and checked the many captured and captured prisoners, only to feel a little sigh and sorrow;
His first task was to seize 11 mountainous towns in the area outside the mountains, including Changping and Guangfu; to gradually seize more than 280 large and small copper under the name of Pingyang Ye, who also belonged to Guiyang Supervisor. Keng, combined with nine silver fields including Maoshou, Baizhu, Jiuding, and Dafu.
But after investigating the properties occupied by the Chen family and liquidating the relevant people, local mines and Shanding were also mobilized. They heard that the great man Chen Yanqian had been defeated and fled, and they were eager to guide and lead the way; requesting the rebels Completely eradicate the scourge of this "place for a long time".
Therefore, after going down to seven or eight towns in succession, not only did they seize a lot of silver collars and copper ingots that had accumulated in the area in the future, but they also rushed to the mountain basin by accidentally hitting them under the heavy attack. Pingyang in the belly of the city is outside.
Then some pioneers discovered that this city of Pingyang was actually in conflict; and the door was wide open, people were constantly fleeing, so Huo Cun simply led people in and grabbed a city gate before making plans; it turned out that except for a few rebels who were robbing on the street. Outside of the nomads, the resistance and resistance encountered are almost negligible;
So when he couldn't wait for the rear team to catch up, he just relied on the remaining seven or eight hundred people around him holding several times the flag, bluffing and culling towards the inner city of the state city. As a result, the inner city gate was also there. A small number of guards changed hands easily.
It wasn't until he smashed into the vicinity of the prefectural government where the governor was, that he found that he encountered groups of two men and horses confronting each other with knives and guns; but at this moment, Huo Cun, as an old rebel army, once again had the upper hand with the cautiousness and ingenuity in his bones.
He just suppressed the eager deployment and did not break in, but he made people sneak close to the houses near the two sides, and shot a few arrows at each side indiscriminately; then he successfully ignited the confrontation between the two sides and was on the spot.
After the two sides killed and wounded and exhausted in this battle, they only entered the government with the appearance of a fresh army, and crushed and suppressed the remnants of both sides together; killed hundreds of enemies on the spot and captured more than a thousand people, and the rebels There were no more than a hundred casualties, and Huo Cun was also hit by a forceful arrow on his shoulder.
Then they asked people to beat gongs and drums to carry out martial law and clean the streets in the city; the bluffing people were busy until that night, and the support of a battalion rushing from the mountainous area was able to reach the city of Pingyang and join the forces stationed in the city. .
Only through the interrogation of the enemy soldiers obtained in the city did they know that they had previously confronted inside and outside the government office; it was part of the Guiyang native soldiers who Chen Yanqian stayed in the local area, and the united children incorporated in the state. As the leader, Chen Yanqian did not escape back to Pingyang City unexpectedly.
Therefore, after these local united children got the news of his failure, they clamored and robbed them of their weapons and left the camp. However, they faced off with the Guiyang Tu Tuan who came to suppress them in several games before they formed a confrontation; However, it was cheaper to take advantage of the third party to attack Pingyang City-the Taiping pawn led by Huo Cun.
It's just that afterwards, Huo Cun received a message from among the prisoners guarding him that he was a little surprised.
"Do you want to vote for my rebels?..."
He looked at the bold man who was brought out with his hands tied back in front of him.
"Exactly..."
Although his gray head and face were still stained with dry blood, there was a certain resoluteness and stubbornness in his eyes.
"It's also for me and other children of Unity to be the first to come forward..."
"Why is this..."
Huo Cun was slightly surprised.
"Dong Cishi gathers to unite and preserve the hometown, so that the people are at peace.. And give me a place to settle down, this is kindness and righteousness."
The big man said without hesitation.
"And the old thief Chen caused me to wait for the benefactor, and he considered it to be incompatible. Since your ministry can kill the old thief, it is the place where my generation can be used..."
"Then you can know what my rebels asked for... and how they acted"
Huo Cun didn't take it seriously.
"Of course it is a special copy of the gentry's house, leading the poor ghosts to eat the big households,"
The big man has some nonchalant way
"It's not that we haven't done this kind of activity under the old governor. We can't miss you... as long as we can avenge the old thief Chen."
"Then what about after you avenge your revenge?"
Huo Cun sighed slightly in his heart.
This is what Guan Tou once said, the blind-moving generation who acted with narrow selfishness and small righteousness as their purpose. Among Zeng Jin's rebels, there is no shortage of such middlemen, but most of them are still objects that can be won and reformed. Therefore, Huo Cun also saw a certain shadow of the past, and was willing to say a few more words with him.
"Or is it enough to avenge Old Thief Chen..."
"Then what should I do as you said..."
The big man said with some doubts.
"Join me and other volunteers, but I want to avenge the vast number of poor people in this world, and to avenge more thief of disabled people like Old Thief Chen..."
Huo Cun became persuasive at this moment.
"Rather than repaying the private enmity of one family and one surname. What we have to do is to overthrow the court and recreate the long-term business of the new world."
"we......"
The big man thought about it for a moment before he spoke.
"You said that we don't quite understand this, isn't it just killing officials and rebelling... Except that the old governor is still a decent person, there are some dog officials in this world, can I kill with the rebels... "
"Of course you can't just kill casually..."
Huo Cun suddenly felt a little powerless and helpless at this moment.
"Besides, you can't rob and insult the people privately... Everything that is obtained in the army is returned to the public before being distributed..."
"What are you the Lao Tzu Rebel army? How can it be more verbose and troublesome than the official army..."
The big man couldn't help complaining.
"Let's just ask, can I take care of my meals, have enough clothes, and do I have to pay for it..."
"Have...."
At this moment, Huo Cun was depressed and just wanted to curse, and what feelings said about him was wasted.
"It will take some time to investigate and see the aftereffects..."
"That's it..."
This big man was a little bit happy.
"I thanked the rebels on behalf of the Unity brothers... As long as we pay for food and clothing, we can do whatever we want..."
"In the future, if any dog raised dares to do that evil deed that harms the people... Let's see one for the rebels first..."
. . . . . . .
In the city of Guiyang, Zhou Huaian did not expect that when Huo Cun led the soldiers, he would unexpectedly take down Pingyang County, the state city of Chenzhou.
In ancient times, Chenzhou was located in the southeastern part of Hunan Province in later generations. It was located at the intersection of the Nanling Mountains and Luoxiao Mountains, and the divergence of the Yangtze River system and the Pearl River system. "The show of Hengyue in the north and the chong of Wuling in the south" has been the "throat" of the Central Plains to the coast of South China since ancient times.
The city of Pingyang, governed by the state, is not only a place for military strategists, but also a place for humanity. It is bordered by Ganzhou in Jiangxi in the east, Shaoguan in Guangdong in the south, Yongzhou in Hunan in the west, and Hengyang and Zhuzhou in Hunan in the north. It is known as the "South Gate" of Hunan.
This result, which far exceeded expectations, has also somewhat disrupted his next plan and layout; at least since he has succeeded, this key point that makes the mountain inside and outside the mountain echo each other cannot be easily lost.
However, with the addition of a large part of Chenzhou outside the current plan, it will not only be responsible for the maintenance and transformation needs of tens of thousands of household registrations in the territory; at the same time, it will be located at the other end of the east-west long strip basin with Pingyang City. The counties of Dao, Ningyuan, Yongming, and Jianghua must also be taken as a response to the relatively complete geographical victory of the entry into the territory of Hunan (observer).
Fortunately, Daozhou has been attacked by the rebels of the Northern Expedition, the local forces are relatively broken and empty, and there is also a small branch of rebels stationed in Yingdao County, Zhoucheng; therefore, the plan can be postponed in this direction.
The first is to divide the troops to support Huo Cun in Pingyang City, and to initially mobilize and utilize the local population and resources; then, the eastern foot of the Luoxiao Mountain Range in the northwest of the basin in Hunan and the Mulianjiu Mountain Range in the north. Several mountain passes in between have to be rushed under control; only then can they be temporarily secured.
In addition, because of the development of transportation and business travel, the local area is also considered to be a place where culture and education are gathered. There are many scholars. For example, the family of the former Yizong dynasty and the family of Liu Zhan, a scholar of Jixiandian, settled here. ; For the sake of long-term stability in the future, it is also necessary to take the opportunity to get them all to Guangzhou to receive re-education and reform, so that it is possible to reduce the resistance and troubles of local reform.
This kind of so-called farmland home, which has long-standing prestige and disguised control of the place, is the most troublesome. They create resistance and confrontation to the rebels, without explicit force at all; they only need to make some private expressions in a symbolic manner. , Or spread some questioning and defamatory remarks, can give the rebels
Therefore, we can only rely on the liquidation process when the city was just captured, and use the power of lightning to cover up these potential hidden dangers and the roots of right and wrong.
When the people in Guangzhou are unfamiliar with the place of life, the local contacts and prestige they rely on are basically useless, and they can slowly concoct and identify them, which can be said to be the objects of subsequent transformation and use. Up.
The feeling is that the plan cannot keep up with the changes and has to be exhausted or to cope with the result; therefore, the originally stretched exploratory team, census team, and work team are even more inadequate.
However, the regional slicing transformation experiment is being carried out in Lianzhou, and it cannot be abandoned halfway or made into raw rice. Zhou Huaian once again felt a certain kind of serious annoyance and pain as a leader of the regime, and the lack of talents and manpower at his disposal.
Of course, if he is willing to relax some of the standards and requirements for selection and training processes, he may be able to ease one or two; even take some measures of compromise and concession: just like the general practice of most local forces that emerged in the last years of the traditional dynasty. .
For example, continue to tolerate and allow those local gentry, big family, and powerful subordinates to continue to maintain most of the status quo on their own, as long as they regularly collect money and grain and serve. It can save time and worry to lead the subordinates. Just hide in the city and enjoy all the established situations with a domineering blessing.
Instead of being so exhausted and tossing around, there are always endless tasks and endless problems to be solved; but after he unexpectedly came to this chaotic era, and burdened the fate and sustenance of so many people, could it be that Is it to take the old road that most people have walked again
Therefore, he can only spend more time to personally teach, those who have been selected urgently, in order to quickly produce batches of barely available emergency personnel as far as possible.
It's just that Zhou Huaian's days when he was sitting in Guiyang did not last long before being interrupted by another news. The Cantonese government received a request for help from Jiangling Cao Shixiong.
