The order was issued directly by Hong Chengchou to the Jiangxi side. The staff of the ⌒PB§乐§小⌒ story wrote quickly and wrote Hong Chengchou's words into an order in official document format, which was sent to the Jiangxi Governor's Yamen in Nanchang. There, Governor Zhang Chaolin, whether or not

If you can understand it, you can only carry it out as ordered.

Hong Chengchou's anger contained some other emotions, whether it was panic, fear, or something else. Even if Huang Zhilin knew him so well, it would be difficult to tell for a moment, because those emotions only flickered in the corner of Hong Chengchou's eyes for a moment.

That's all, it was covered up by the overwhelming anger.

Opening his mouth, Huang Zhilin wanted to say something, but he took it back before he could say anything. He did not dare to express his thoughts to Hong Chengchou. This was not his current situation, because as Hong Chengchou's most trusted confidant in the Changsha shogunate

As a character, his main responsibility is to assist Hong Chengchou in running Huguang, and making suggestions is indispensable. But at this moment, he did not say anything. As for the reason, although it was only a short moment, he also thought about it.

It is very clear that his idea is not wrong, but it is not suitable for the current situation. At the moment, Hong Chengchou is right!

The urgent official document left the Southwest Meridian Office on Zhaobi Street, and the courier jumped on the post horse and galloped out. During the 700-mile journey, the courier galloped as fast as possible. He changed horses without changing people along the way.

Comparing the posture of eight hundred miles, all the way to the gate of the governor's office, the messenger dismounted, showed his waist badge, and went straight into the lobby where Zhang Chaolin was sitting with the support of the guards who knew the importance.

Zhang Chaolin was a bannerman who set up a blue banner for the Han army, and was the successor of the former governor Lang Tingzuo. Lang Tingzuo was promoted to governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi in the fifth month of the leap year. It was also a blessing that the Ming army had not invaded Jiangxi, otherwise he would have been difficult to leave.

But now that this mess has fallen on Zhang Chaolin, he can't help but curse. He has been working in the court for so long, but he ended up taking such a hot-butt position.

But now that Hot Butt was also sitting on it, Hong Chengchou's order was issued and he had no choice but to execute it immediately.

Official documents from the governor's yamen were directly dispatched to various prefectures. Ji'an Prefecture was now the front line and there had never been a war. However, there were never fewer battles between the Ming and Qing Dynasty's scouts and Qingqi dogs at the junction of the two prefectures.

Jishui County is located to the north of Fucheng. It is the safest and most helpless place in Ji'an Prefecture today. There is Fucheng in front of them to protect them from wind and rain. As long as Fucheng is still in the hands of the Qing army, they will be as safe as Mount Tai. But if Fucheng is lost,

Such a small county town is definitely not immune. However, things in this world often have pros and cons. Just like Ruijin County in the past, it was much safer with other cities as a shield, but the task of providing grain and food was

, harassment from the military is unavoidable, and I found out that the county magistrate is one of the top two.

The administrative pressure was huge. At this time, it was time for the mutual aid association to come out to help. However, as soon as the administrative office issued the decree, he did not dare to disobey it, so he had to send someone to find Zou Nan to see if the mutual aid association could help again before disbanding.

The county government should provide some efforts or something.

"This..." When the magistrate talked about this, Zou Nan showed hesitation. Soon, in front of the magistrate, he gritted his teeth and confessed his thoughts in full to resolve any misunderstandings that might have arisen: "

The county elder is usually the most concerned about the county's cultural affairs, and he loves the people like his own children. Logically speaking, it is his duty to be a student. However, the manager seems to think that the mutual aid association is not very beneficial, and the students are afraid

If you disband a little later, you will be..."

There is no need for Zou Nan to say the following words. Of course the magistrate understands his worries. This worry is human nature. After all, a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. This is what Mencius said. How can there be people who don’t know?

principle.

Regarding the mutual aid association, it is widely spread in Jiangxi and almost every prefecture and county has one. I heard Zou Nan mention it before, saying that it first appeared in southern Jiangxi. The reason why it spread so quickly in various prefectures and counties in Jiangxi is that

It was because the local gentry catered to the then governor Cai Shiying's policy of restoring people's livelihood. But now, because the gentry of several mutual aid associations have changed their affiliations, they seem to be affected as well. It is inevitable to be discouraged, and it is even more necessary.

Be sincerely frightened.

"My dear friend, there is no need to worry about this matter. I have asked Mr. Fu Zun, Mr. Jinglue and Mr. Futai only expressed their intention to dissolve the mutual aid association. For the gentry who formed the mutual aid association, they also used Xianliang Er.

I believe that the monarchs can contribute to the country in the plan of restoring people's livelihood in Jiangxi, which is an expression of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. However, there may be some small and small things mixed in, and the good and the bad are mixed, so they are all banned..."

If there is no threat, does the crime deserve to be banned?

Zou Nan understood this truth from early on, and hearing that Zhixian was hiding his head and revealing his tail further confirmed the correctness of his choice to follow Chen Kai.

The magistrate talked a lot, just to give him the necessary comfort. If he didn't agree, it was obviously over, but Zou Nan also said that after the disbandment was completed, he would use his past prestige to call some

The common people come to serve the government. Of course, for the superiors, they still hope that the county magistrate will report this in the name of the government.

"Please don't worry about this, dear friend. We have known each other for many years, but have you ever seen me as a person who sells his friends for glory?"

After the important matter was settled, the host and the guest had a good time, and the two chatted about some poetry, painting and writing, which were their common hobbies, before Zou Nan said goodbye and left.

Back at the house in the countryside, several members of the Heaven and Earth Society had already hidden their whereabouts and came to discuss countermeasures. For Zou Nan, this trip to the city was actually to test the government's crackdown on the mutual aid association.

As the basis for the next actions. After all, Guangzhou Prefecture and Ji'an Prefecture are still thousands of miles apart. If there is a problem that requires immediate response, there is no way to wait for Chen Kai's order. What is more needed is their adaptability.

.

The information was very effective. Neither Hong Chengchou nor Zhang Chaolin wanted to offend the Jiangxi gentry to death, so they chose the saying that "the vast number of virtuous gentry are mixed with a few scum" in the world of mutual aid associations. The mutual aid association must be disbanded, but the establishment of

However, the gentry of the mutual aid association still received verbal praise, which is consistent with the way Hong Chengchou handled the Dongting case.

"For the time being, the Tatars should not take any big action against us, but the chief helmsman is right. Members who have not formed a mutual aid association should immediately lurk, and those who have formed a mutual aid association should immediately dissolve the mutual aid association, at least openly.

We might as well make it more grand and show it to the Tatar officials."

As soon as the words "chief helmsman" came out, everyone present felt a sense of honor. In fact, when I joined the Tiandihui, in addition to the determination and will to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and the advice of many close friends for many years, the most important thing was Chen Kai.

Nowadays, Chen Kai can win the battle with Hong Chengchou. The battle of wits and courage between the two sides really makes them feel extremely excited after constantly learning the truth of the war, as if they have seen something in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The peak showdown between Zhuge Wuhou and Sima Yi.

At this moment, Zou Nan made a decision based on Chen Kai's previous order, and everyone nodded in agreement. After discussing the details, Zou Nan sent everyone away, and then transferred to the West Cross Courtyard.

I found Yu Youhan who had been teaching with him during this period.

"Yu Zhuangshi, I'm really sorry. The mutual aid association is about to be disbanded, so I can only ask Yu Zhuangshi to find someone else. However, according to the earlier agreement, not a penny will be lost, not only during this period, but also for the rest.

Those few months are also included. In addition, I also have a gift to give to Yu Zhuangshi, just as a friend."

Zou Nan was very generous, which made Yu Youhan feel a little embarrassed. Originally, he was already thinking about continuing to travel after the first year, but Zou Nan persuaded him to stay. It's better now.

When the government wants to dissolve the mutual aid association, he will naturally have no use for it. Although it is a bit sudden, it is somewhat consistent with his original intention.

"It is a gift given by an elder, and I dare not refuse it. Mr. Zou's kindness should be kept in mind by Yu Youhan. Mountains and rivers meet each other. If there is a move in the future, he must use the strength of dogs and horses."

Yu Youhan bowed his hands and bowed without any hesitation. Speaking of which, Zou Nan actually didn't want to let this master leave at all. However, his martial arts skills were already well-known in the county. Not to mention the limelight during the recruitment.

Later, there were several people who came to challenge him, but they were all easily defeated. This person was already a symbol of his mutual aid association. If he reluctantly gave up, the government would always have concerns.

"No hurry, no hurry. I'm not here to catch the remaining warriors. I just told you in advance that the remaining warriors can prepare for some time. There is no rush to arrive."

After the proprietor and the teacher discussed the matter, Zou Nan did not go back to his room to rest. Instead, he walked around in a circle and left the house through the back door, quietly rushing to an agreed upon place. There, someone was waiting for him.

Because there was an important matter that required him to spread the news as soon as possible, otherwise it would lead to more unnecessary losses.

Zou Nan was still busy overtly and covertly, while Yu Youhan had already begun to prepare the luggage for the next journey in an orderly manner. Three days later, Yu Youhan was completely prepared, and after receiving the money and ceremony, he officially set off.

Zhuangzi left the Zou family.

According to his plan, this time he wanted to go to Guangdong. After joining the army to fight against the Qing Dynasty, he was used to being free and he realized that he might not be able to bear this restriction. It was just that he had been in the area controlled by the Qing court for a long time.

If you stay in a depressed feeling for a long time, you will inevitably want to change the environment, and the area controlled by the Southeast Ming Army, which is currently in the limelight, must be a good choice.

He had already considered the itinerary early. It would be most convenient to go south and go up the Gan River. However, after passing Wan'an County, which was the hardest hit area of ​​the conflict between the Ming and Qing armies, the inspections on the road must be strict.

With his martial arts skills and carrying such a long Miao sword, he would most likely be captured and taken into the camp. With his martial arts skills, a dozen or so Qing troops would be fine, but if there were more,

Once he forms a formation to fight, no matter how skilled he is in martial arts, he will not be able to get an advantage in front of the battle formation.

In this case, Yu Youhan's plan is to go to Jishui County first, where he will take a boat along the En River and enter Fuzhou Prefecture. After entering Fuzhou Prefecture, he will then turn southeast. As long as he reaches the Meichuan River, he can go down the river to Ningdu County.

That area is already under the control of the Ming army, so we can go directly south to Guangdong.

With brisk footsteps, he embarked on the road south, riding a bullock cart brought by an apprentice from the mutual aid association to sell goods in the county. Yu Youhan chatted and laughed with the man and arrived in Jishui County. Next, the man had his own things to be busy with.

, he would first find a restaurant, eat some water and wine, fill his stomach, and then go to the pier to find a boat. If he couldn't leave today, he could make an appointment there and spend the next few days in the inn, which would also be a good time for strolling around the county town.

.

A trip that was almost a quick trip made Yu Youhan feel much better immediately. He found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and started drinking by himself along with water and wine.

The window on the second floor overlooks the West Street of the county seat. There are crowds of people below. Yu Youhan is drinking wine and enjoying himself from time to time by looking at the flow of people below. In this way, until after a long time, he has drunk most of the wine and has eaten the food.

I ate most of it, but the good mood remained and never dissipated. At this time, the crowd below seemed to be frightened and began to retreat to both sides, but they saw a group of Qing troops marching through the city under the leadership of the Yamen.

Go through and go straight to the west gate.

"It's almost like we're going to have to fight again, hey."

Thieves are like combs and soldiers are like grates. It is normal for the common people not to see the soldiers. Especially recently, with the continuous deterioration of the war situation in southern Jiangxi, the Qing army that passed through Jishui County can no longer simply use more than one

To describe it in words, the local people in Jishui County suffered a lot, and they couldn't help but sigh.

The voice came from across a table, and it was also in a low voice, so ordinary people could not hear it. However, Yu Youhan was highly skilled in martial arts and had a sharp ear and eyesight. Even if he drank alcohol, it did not prevent him from hearing those whispers clearly.

"It's hard to say. Didn't it mean that the government ordered the dissolution of the mutual aid association? I think it might be because of the gentry."

Even Yu Youhan was shocked by this statement, let alone the man sitting across from him: "No way, those are just masters and scholars, even the county magistrates can say that

That’s right. Besides, those gentry gentlemen take good care of the people in the mutual aid association, and their reputations are excellent."

"The county magistrate's order to dissolve the mutual aid association is said to have been given by Hong Jinglue, and even Governor Zhang of this province only listened to it."

The man who spoke last obviously knew more about the inside story. After raising the interest of the man sitting next to him, he poured himself a drink, and then continued: "These days, good people don't live long, and harm will last for thousands of years. Good people

What’s the use? Whoever insists on obeying the other will do it. Not to mention, there is a mutual aid association in southern Jiangxi that surrendered to the Ming army. It is said that the reason why the mutual aid association was disbanded is because of this. Now there is a strong possibility that unjust prisons will be launched. "
