Tang Dynasty

Chapter 892: The captive formation crosses the northern wilderness (continued)

Views:

When Zhou Huai'an left the Grand Theater and returned to the mansion, he discovered that the Taiping Army's restoration of Yangzhou had a much greater influence and symbolic significance for people of this era than he had imagined! After all, for modern people, Yangzhou, which has long decayed into an ordinary scenic spot in later generations, is only left with a certain kind of sentiment in Tang poetry.

However, for most people in this era, Yangzhou is an indispensable and very important landmark in the process of capturing the world. Therefore, as the news spread rapidly in the city, this short return journey was almost immersed in the cheers of the people who spontaneously rushed over along the street and joined the road to meet each other.

And amidst these cheers, the young lady in the companion car also inevitably had blurred eyes and dazzling expressions, catering to Zhou Huaian’s customary Lushan claws and even when her skirt was half-fading, she suddenly bowed her head in shame and drew her ears again. First of all, he took the initiative to move by himself; therefore, in order to enjoy this kind of taste that is only one wall away from the voices of the people, and may be exposed in public at any time, Zhou Huaian had to take a cold breath and make a difficult decision, changing the course. Let's go around the city a few more times.

Therefore, when he returned to his back home holding the young lady who had been soft as a pile of mud in a short period of time, he was congratulated on the spot by other back home girls and women headed by Cao Hongyao; this made Zhou Huaian a little bit. There was no alternative, but he couldn't help but grinned bitterly with them and finished such a cutscene with them, and announced an additional family banquet as a private celebration.

However, this celebration inevitably went into the night. It seems that because of the influence and stimulation of the skeleton essence, the two pairs of the young lady and the Qingluo who are responsible for the night have become more enthusiastic and warm, so that the hot and soft early defeated the battle, and Other people have to be in charge of the relay.

Only when the next day, Zhou Huaian hung from two koalas on his body, like the slender lotus-rooted arms and legs of a Siamese baby, and the continuous muttering sound like a dream, reluctantly slow down and reluctant to let go of the slender lotus-rooted arms and legs that are like a Siamese baby at the same time, and the muttering sound is like a dream. After slowly breaking free and getting up, he found that the heat of this matter had not faded, and a lot of chain reactions were brewing.

After a while, he soaked in the pool to enjoy the plump massage and massage from the underwater golden goose. The master of Qian Qixiufang, who is aliased as Yiying, one of the four servants, Ye Zhiqing, feeds the tub and tray close to his mouth. Early food such as fish porridge, fruit balls, etc.; while listening to the routine morning summary outside the curtain: until I heard a name, I couldn’t help licking the slender fingers of my mouth and said:

"Is it Xu Wen? What does he want? What can he do?"

"Enlighten, Lord, this son has written a book of tens of thousands of words overnight since he went back yesterday. He counts the various stories, secrets, anecdotes, etc. of the Yang family under the rule of the Yang family. What you call..."

The voice outside the curtain said in a low voice.

However, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but laugh at the words. If he didn’t make a mistake in his memory, Xu Wen, who had been invisible among Yang Xingmin’s subordinates, had never been seen before, but after Yang Xingmin’s death in the future, he took control of his son and cut off the old heroes one by one. He usurped his foundation and became a key figure in the historical transition and transition from Yang Wu to the Nantang regime.

In the future, he will accept an adopted son named Xu Zhigao, and then kill a biological son behind him and call himself the clan of the Li family, thus becoming the grandfather of the Nantang III regime of the Five Dynasties. Of course, in this unrecognizable time and space, he has no chance. With the collapse and disintegration of Huainan's local forces headed by Yang, his last point of value and meaning of existence seems to be gone.

"Well, let him be a special adviser to the anti-revolutionary committee to help eliminate the Yang family remnants and remnants in Huainan; let's see what step he can do!"

Zhou Huaian made a decision immediately: at the beginning, this was just a little bit of malicious fun, but after all, he could barely be regarded as one of the sons of many five generations of luck in the future, and he would manage the internal affairs and general affairs under Yang Xingmin's hands. For many years, it must be possible to squeeze out some surplus value.

"Li Hanzhi? Why is he coming to join in the fun?"

However, at the next moment, Zhou Huaian heard another name in the report: he couldn't help but wonder, this five-generation Lu Bu, who is known for his cruelty in history, finally couldn't bear it.

"This son claims to have been hospitalized for a long time and has not been able to repay him. I hope that a guest will take him as the governor's office and lead a brigade to drive forward..."

The voice from outside replied stubbornly:

"What about this?..."

Hearing this result, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but hesitate. This is known as "the nature of the eagle and the bird, the journey of the tiger and the wolf." First cast the yellow nest, then descend the high level, and followed Zhuge Shuang; in the future, it will continue to jump between the Later Tang Dynasty and the Later Liang, compared with the genuine three-surname domestic slaves Lu Bu even more exaggerated the family slaves of the five surnames.

However, in the next moment, Zhou Huaian was irritated by Jin Yan'er, who was starting to behave under the water. He couldn't help but laughed coldly while holding down her head; after all, this was a person who had been changed beyond recognition by his own demon. The historical trajectory is completely different in time and space.

Now that Huang Chao has a firm foothold in Chang'an, Gao Pian has been caught by himself, and Zhuge Shuang does not seem to want him to go back immediately; let alone Zhu Lao San, who is now receiving his support, or after the war in the Guan. Zhu Xieyi Sheng who didn't know where he went; could it be that he is a lonely widow who has no basic discs and trilogy, where can he go repeatedly

"Don't mention anything about the guest general..."

Zhou Huaian immediately lifted Jin Yan'er out of the water with a wet face and pressed it forward, then raised his breath in a deep voice:

"Let him play for three years before the battle honestly, and then let him go and stay for himself..."

After all, under the current Taiping Army system, can he still be able to take a soldier away as a general? It's better to hold back the tiger's heart and work hard for yourself to see if you can play a little bit of surplus value. Of course, the corresponding monitoring and countermeasures for self-confidence are also indispensable.

—I am the dividing line —

In the Guanglingzi City where the dust has settled, there are constantly being escorted out by disarmed prisoners in various forms. During this period, there are also many weeping old and weak women and children, and dejected officials wearing blue, crimson, and red robes. On the streets of Waiguo, there were also a lot of people holding incense cases and colored watches that gathered to reward the army. Some of them even held figures of monks chanting with painted bodhisattva flags.

However, Zhang Qiao and other old family members who were called up soon after checked the identities of the grain reserves, financial books and various people obtained in the Huainan Festival. Du Hong, who was responsible for forming a professional team to search and inspect the sub-city, also reported the subsequent seizures in front of Zhu Cun.

"The gold treasures of various colors obtained inside and outside the festival are about 500,000 ribbons, and there are 150,000 pieces of silk of various colors, 230,000 pieces of silk cloth, and the price of the remaining calligraphy and painting antiques is still unknown..."

"Zicheng and Yacheng Zhunei warehouses seized two hundred and sixty thousand stones of miscellaneous grains of rice and wheat, three hundred and ten thousand tals of peas; there were 8,000 urns of Huai salt, and more than seven hundred thousand pairs of old and new tea cakes..."

"There are also arsenals, inner rod warehouses, Jianufang, Yaqianying, etc., and 220,000 pieces of swords and armors were seized, but most of them are different in rust and need to be sorted and refurbished before they can be used;"

"Nineteen large and small government-run workshops and workshops, with more than 3,000 craftsmen, apprentices, and laborers, accumulate millions of catties each of copper, iron, lead, tin, dansha, alum, and other materials. In addition, there are money monitors and workshops from various places. The old and new money collected..."

Speaking of this, Du Hong looked at the side hall where the captured "Yang Xingmin" was being held with some hesitation, and hesitated again and again before speaking:

"Zhengjiang, the Yang family’s wife, concubines and children, and more than 100 members of the tribe have been seized. Among them, his wife, Zhu’s family, has four sons and two daughters... It’s just that after multiple identifications and identifications, this one in the army is probably not Yang Xingmin himself, but It is Yang Xinggong, the younger brother of the Yang clan... because of his similar physical appearance, he was tasted as a stand-in before the battle..."

"That said, Yang Xingyun actually planned to escape early in the chaos? Or did he rush out of the city with the enemy soldiers before?"

Zhu Cun, whose expression was fairly calm, frowned and sneered. Then he waved his hand seriously:

"Forget it, there is no need to mess around with this inadequate accident. What should be searched in the city is to continue the search, and the outside of the city will continue to send more people to cooperate with the boat division and the cruising team to pursue the pursuit... There will always be something to gain. What we are doing is to behave in an upright manner, and as long as the effort is enough, what repetitions and accidents are we afraid of?..."

After all, after losing most of the trilogy and foundation in Guangling City, what can be done with the Yang family's lonely leftover seed? The imperial courts, towns and local forces that had been beaten by the Taiping Army and were defeated and only fled with their own lives are more famous and powerful than Yang Xingmin, but who else can come again today

Zhu Cun quickly put his mind on the pursuit of the remnant enemies outside the city. After all, the remnants of the Huainan/Shouhao Army that scurried in all directions were somewhat unexpected. If you can't chase, intercept or deal with it properly, it will be a big trouble even if you are defeated and scattered into the place. I don't know how many troubles and unexpected factors will be added to the new peace policy implemented in the place.

"Now the household registration books in Guangling City have been preliminarily calculated. There are about 177 thousand one hundred and five registered households and 46 thousand and seven hundred fifty-seven;"

"Actually, there are 113,869, Dingkou, 41,99,580, of which Ding Zhuang is only more than 132,000; there are also slaves and actresses, etc. , The statistics are not yet complete..."

Hearing this, Zhu Cun couldn't help sighing again; there are only one-third of the strong men in the official tax account. This is the painful damage caused by the wars over the years to this "Huaizuo famous capital". And sequelae, but I don’t know how many years it will take to recover.

Of course, for the Taiping Army, the value of Yangzhou lies not only in the southeast hub of the city itself and the geographical location where waterways gather, but also in the handicrafts and craftsmen groups that have been developed and accumulated in the past dynasties, as well as the literacy under the influence of a long history of writing. Population; as for the seizure and income of money, food and goods, it is second. (End of this chapter)
