Upon learning that Xiong Wencan had been transferred, Zhao Han immediately ordered Li Zheng to send troops to Fuliang County.
Even if we break up with the imperial court, Fuliang must be captured because Jingdezhen is there.
In the Ming Dynasty, the county was notified of the seventh grade.
Wanping was the sixth-rank magistrate of Daxing County. Because he was attached to Guo Beijing, he could manage part of the capital.
Fuliang County Magistrate, fifth grade!
Zhao Han encountered a major disaster this year and had to provide relief to the victims. His finances were already in dire straits. Taking Jingdezhen would immediately replenish his finances.
After Li Zheng killed more than ten thieves, he selected two to three thousand thieves and urgently transferred Ding Jiasheng to be the commander. Ding Jiasheng took these thieves and rushed to Fuliang County in a hurry, pretending to attack the county seat.
The magistrate of Fuliang County is named Lu Hongsheng, a native of Jinjiang, who was elected in the seventh year of Tianqi.
He felt that he would not be able to pass the Jinshi examination, so he spent money to become a magistrate of Zhao'an County. In the third year of Chongzhen, Lu Hongsheng attended the Jinling Conference, joined Fushe and was immediately promoted. Now he is the fifth-rank magistrate of Fuliang County.
Lu Hongsheng didn't have any other talents. He liked to write articles and participate in cultural gatherings, and he paid more attention to education.
As for other things, he really doesn't know how.
For example, when rebels besieged the city, Lu Hongsheng was completely blinded.
"What should we do?" Lu Hongsheng stood on the city tower. If there were not hungry people outside the city, he would have ordered the city gate to be closed. At this moment, the rebels had already invaded.
Wu Bing was also panicked, but at last he was not crazy. He said: "Xuan Kung sent people out of the city at night to go to Raozhou Prefecture to move reinforcements. There is General Li (Li Zheng) there. He defeated the rebels a few days ago, so he must be able to solve the problem.
The Siege of Fuliang."
Lu Hongsheng's eyes widened and he felt that Wu Bing was mentally retarded: "There are soldiers of the Zhao thieves over there in Raozhou City. This is a way to lure a wolf into the house!"
"The thieves here are evil. If they break the city, we may lose our lives. The Zhao thieves are good-natured and do not kill indiscriminately. Even if they steal Fuliang, they can also keep the people safe." Wu Bing also reminded, "Don't do it again in the future."
Called Zhao Thief, this person has been recruited by the imperial court and is a dignified military attache of our Ming Dynasty."
Lu Hongsheng thought about it and found no better way, so he could only agree: "Well, send someone to Raozhou to ask for help at night."
Wu Bing, an academic official in Jiangxi Province, made a total of more than 3,000 taels from various prefectures by taking this year's Taoist examination.
When he visited Fuliang County, the county magistrate Lu Hongsheng warmly welcomed him and even held a special cultural gathering for him. Both of them were members of Fushe, and they hit it off immediately, so Wu Bing simply stayed in Fuliang County. There was no point in returning to Nanchang anyway.
This pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes completely ignored the disaster and spent all day drinking, writing poems and articles, and occasionally went to the brothel together to inspect the work.
They were anxious in the city, while Ding Jiasheng had a headache outside the city.
Ding Jiasheng only brought two to three thousand rebels, all of whom have surrendered. After this mission, they can return to their hometown to divide their fields.
But running all the way from Raozhou to Fuliang, the number of rebels under Ding Jiasheng's command increased to more than 12,000. They were all hungry people who voluntarily joined along the way, dragging their families with them one by one. Ding Jiasheng could only support himself by robbing landowners.
.
Fortunately, there were missionaries in the army following him, who helped Ding Jiasheng restrain his followers, and at the same time organized the families of the rebels into the rear army. They could not only help transport supplies, but also detain hostages, so that the hungry people who joined along the way would be obedient.
After all, Ding Jiasheng was born into a poor scholar and had never read a military book. He could not even set up camp, and the missionary team was responsible for helping him set up camp.
"Why don't you come?" Ding Jiasheng looked to the south, he wanted to attack the city directly.
Li Zheng led his troops and walked slowly along the Changjiang River.
When they arrived at Guxian Ferry, suddenly Fuliang County officials rushed over, stopped the army, knelt down and shouted: "General, please rush to Fuliang's aid!"
After receiving a letter from the magistrate asking for help, Li Zheng laughed heartily and immediately accelerated his march.
When they arrived outside the county seat, without taking any rest, Li Zheng pointed his gun at the rebel camp: "Kill!"
Lu Hongsheng and Wu Bing heard the news and went to the city to watch the battle. They saw the Datong army marching in formation, and they were able to maintain their formation even while trotting.
Wu Bing clapped his hands and praised: "What a magnificent teacher!"
"It's a pity that they are thieves." Lu Hongsheng said with emotion.
Wu Bing immediately corrected him: "Since we are recruiting peace, we are officers and soldiers. Don't call us thieves anymore."
Lu Hongsheng immediately changed his mind: "That's true."
Seeing that Li Zheng and his troops were halfway through the attack, the rebel camp had collapsed, and countless rebels were rushing to flee to the mountains to the north.
Lu Hongsheng was stunned: "Does this mean we win?"
Wu Bing sighed and said: "The soldiers in General Zhao's town have the power of tigers and wolves. They are not bandits. If it were officers and soldiers who encountered them, the situation would probably be the same."
After performing a complete drama, Li Zheng led his troops to pursue him for a while before returning to the outside of the county town.
"Open the city quickly!" Li Zheng sent someone to shout.
Lu Hongsheng also sent someone to shout: "General, you have worked hard and the county has prepared food and grass. Please retreat two miles away to camp and rest. Don't lead troops into the city to disturb the people!"
Li Zheng was quite surprised. He didn't expect the county magistrate to be so cunning.
"Withdraw troops!"
Since you won't let me enter the city, I'll just leave.
Li Zheng gave the order and left with his troops without bothering to say another word to the magistrate.
Wu Bing was horrified: "The rebels have not been eliminated yet, send someone quickly to stop the army!"
Lu Hongsheng was also panicked and quickly ordered the city gate to be opened. He really didn't dare to be clever anymore.
Even if they guess the truth, they can only pretend not to know. Otherwise, if they anger the rebels, they may turn the fake into real and directly attack the city and kill them both.
Li Zheng came back slowly and took only 500 soldiers into the city, while the rest camped outside the city.
"Thanks to General Li, otherwise the people of Fuliang would be in danger." Wu Bing stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
Lu Hongsheng also said: "I am Lu Hongsheng, the magistrate of Fuliang. On behalf of the people of Fuliang, I would like to thank General Li for his kindness."
Li Zheng didn't waste any time and directly issued a notice: "Don't talk nonsense, Fuliang County will belong to us from now on. If you want to live, you can be a county magistrate. If you want to die, I don't mind sending you on your way."
Lu Hongsheng was so shocked that his vest was sweating, and he said solemnly: "There are many thieves and bandits here, and it all depends on the general."
Wu Bing looked up at the sky, wandering around the universe at this moment, seemingly not hearing anything.
The next day, the rebels returned, and Lu Hongsheng and Wu Bing panicked for help.
"It's simple."
Li Zheng sent a general out of the city holding the Datong military flag to recruit and surrender the more than 10,000 "rebels" on the spot.
Lu Hongsheng and Wu Bing looked at each other in confusion, wondering whether Zhao Han was really so famous or whether these rebels were Zhao Han who had people pretending to be them.
It doesn't really matter what the truth is.
Liu Tongyu, the mayor of Zhangshu Town, was promoted to magistrate of Fuliang County for his meritorious service due to his proper disaster relief and rescue operations, which prevented the important commercial town from being affected by floods. This was the fourth county magistrate named Liu under Zhao Han, and there was also a prefecture magistrate named Liu. Five
People are not from the same clan, but simply because there are so many people with the surname Liu in Jiangxi, and the Liu family is the most common surname in Jiangxi.
In addition to Liu Tongyu's promotion, many officials who were effective in disaster relief have now been promoted.
The counties in Nanchang Prefecture have been basically controlled by the Peasants' Association. They were nominally transferred to be county magistrates or chief registrars in the Ming Dynasty, but in fact they were appointed as county magistrates, but they were called differently to the outside world.
At the same time, Ruizhou Prefecture was about to be captured by the whole territory, and Zhao Han took over the four counties of Ruizhou Prefecture in the name of disaster relief.
We really need to provide disaster relief, use work for relief, organize people to build water conservancy projects, and open roads. In this way, we can not only increase infrastructure, but also relieve hungry people.
Fuzhou Prefecture is also approaching, and out of the five counties, three counties have been controlled by the Peasants' Association.
The officials under Zhao Han were very happy with the increase in so much land. Moreover, all those who performed well in the flood fighting and disaster relief work were promoted, which made the officials more motivated.
As long as you work hard, you can be promoted quickly. How many of them are slacking off?
Officials were promoted, clerks were promoted to officials, and reserve clerks were converted into regular clerks. Zhao Han's government administration system was already operating at a high speed.
In addition, Zhao Han ordered that all peasant associations occupy all the prefectures in the territory and carry out the work of dividing the fields immediately after the autumn harvest. Landowners who dare to cause trouble will directly confiscate their homes. Anyway, they are short of money and food. Those notorious landlords also have their homes raided and raided.
to alleviate financial difficulties.
Raozhou Prefecture is a key development area.
Raozhou, Raozhou, a prosperous state.
There is Jingdezhen for commerce and Poyang County for agriculture.
Even hundreds of years later, Poyang County is still the most populous county in Jiangxi. It can be imagined that the land is rich to support so many people.
Being able to force the people of Raozhou to rebel twice within five years is a very powerful Ming official. Of course, thanks to His Highness King Huai, Raozhou did not even implement a whipping method, and Zhang Juzheng's reforms were directly affected here.
Block back.
As for Duchang County, even though it was within the boundaries of Nankang Prefecture, Zhao Han took possession of it and never thought of spitting it out.
This county also has fertile land and is also an important port city on Poyang Lake.
Alas, Fuliang County was no longer interesting. Wu Bing quickly said goodbye to Lu Hongsheng, who had a bitter look on his face.
In the name of the school, he took his servants to Guangxin Mansion. It was next to Zhejiang and the farthest away from Zhao Han's territory. It was estimated that he could live happily for a year or two.
Wu Bing went straight to Guangxin Fucheng, then turned around and left, telling the boatmen to get away quickly.
Outside the city of Guangxin Prefecture, there were dense crowds of hungry people.
They all came from Zhejiang. There is a sentence in the history books: "In the tenth year of Chongzhen's reign, there was a great famine in Zhejiang. Fathers, sons, brothers, and husbands and wives ate each other."
Why could Chongzhen tolerate Zhao Han and give him a promotion?
It is because Zhejiang and South Zhili are all suffering from severe drought this year. In the Ming Dynasty's elite taxation land, cannibalism can be seen everywhere.
Governor Wu Bing returned to Qianshan and found that there were hungry people along the coast. They helped each other in twos and threes, hoping to go to Ehu Town and Hekou Town to beg for food.
Wu Bing witnessed all this and suddenly had a strange idea: If the Zhao thieves occupied this place, they would be able to save these victims.
"Wow...oooooooo!"
Wu Bing suddenly burst into tears because he was from Yixing. His hometown started to suffer from drought last year, and it hasn't rained much until now. Taihu Lake has dried up to the point where only the center of the lake is left.
My family wrote a letter some time ago, saying that I no longer dare to go out casually, and that I must go out with more than ten people every time.
If you go out alone, you may not be able to return home and will be killed and eaten by hungry people.
Thinking of the tragic situation in his hometown, Wu Bing cried more and more sadly.
It used to be so beautiful and rich. When he was young, he often called his friends and went boating on Taihu Lake. Now, Taihu Lake has dried up, hungry people are everywhere, and countless people have turned into withered bones.
Wu Bing is famous for his opera creation. Although he is greedy for money and lust, he is an extremely emotional person.
I was so moved by the scene that my eyes turned red from crying, and I lost all interest in playing.
He returned to Nanchang Prefecture by boat and went to the countryside to observe the farmers' association allocating land and watching the public trials of bully landlords. He also watched missionary officers organize performances where farmers sang and danced, which seemed like two different worlds from Guangxin Prefecture.
In the past, he acted as a landlord, but now he can actually act as a commoner.
After visiting many prefectures and counties, Wu Bing returned to Nancheng Fucheng and began to write a diary novel called "Da Tong Ji".
(Boss Penguin’s silver alliance has been overdue for a long time. The double alliance leaders and other silver alliances will have to wait a moment.)
