302 [Propaganda to end the battle] (for the penguin boss
Zhang Tieniu took the lead and set off, and two thousand vanguard troops surrounded Longyou County.
When Zhao Han arrived with his army, Zhang Tieniu moved forward again, heading towards Jinhua to join the rebel army led by Xu Du.
Zhang Tieniu's two thousand elite troops, plus the local rebel army, were enough to take over the entire central Zhejiang region.
Zhao Han collected large and small ships along the way and led the main army down the Dongyang River (Lanjiang River). He wanted to fight all the way to Hangzhou along the river.
As for the Longyou landlord who was killing the rebels like crazy, did Zhao Han need to deal with it himself?
Longyou County.
The landowners were uneasy. They did not dare to surrender because too many people had been killed. But it seemed that they had no choice but to surrender. How could they still resist the army with a ragtag group of people?
Just as they were discussing how to surrender, Zhao Han collected all the ships outside the city and left in a swaggering boat, heading towards Yanzhou Mansion further downstream.
gone?
King Zhao’s army is leaving now?
Why don't you stay and attack us?
Of course, the army remained, with a thousand peasant soldiers, as well as a large number of officials, missionaries and peasant association backbones.
In the entire Quzhou Prefecture, Longyou County has the most flat and fertile land, and Longyou County also has the most large landowners. Naturally, we must seize the time to divide the land.
"Just leave a thousand soldiers to attack the city. He won't kill them all, right?"
"There are only a thousand soldiers outside the city, why not kill them!"
"Idiot, those are Jiangxi soldiers. One thousand can defeat ten thousand. Can you beat them?"
"Damn it, who said King Zhao Tian wouldn't attack Zhejiang? I believed him!"
"What are you doing outside the city?"
"The land is being measured and our fields are being divided!"
"..."
A thousand soldiers stood guard by the river and began to clear the land in front of the landowners who were guarding the city.
Immediately afterwards, they sent people in small boats to shout outside the city: "The division of the fields has begun, the division of the fields has begun. Listen to the garrison in the city, and the fields can be divided as soon as you leave the city. If any family has fields and does not come out again, they will be
Give it to someone else!"
After shouting for about ten minutes, Chenguchi Goyong began to lose control.
Countless people dropped their weapons one after another, left the city wall they were guarding, and ran towards various city gates.
In just one stick of incense, the city wall became empty, and all the city gates in the north were wide open.
"Long live King Zhao!"
"There is a field over there that belongs to my family. Don't give it away randomly!"
"Master Jun, go to our village to allocate the fields first. It's very close to the county seat."
"..."
An officer came ashore with a smile and shouted: "Don't make any noise, everyone can be divided into fields. Even if the fields in Longyou County are not enough, we can send you to other places to divide the fields, and you will be given seeds when you get to the new place. Now listen
Mine, I want to choose two thousand young men!"
Seeing the officers of Datong selecting young men outside the city, all the landowners and gentry in the city were dumbfounded.
Even before the war started, all the country warriors they recruited had fled.
The gentry and merchants who participated in the suppression of the rebel army were so frightened that they ran away one after another. Some hid in the city, and some returned to the countryside. After thinking about it, they decided to pack up their belongings and run away.
Some of them have business overseas and can hide in Nanyang to survive.
"Catch people with me!"
A thousand peasants and soldiers were quickly dispersed into groups of ten, with each group leading twenty local young men, and began to go to various places to arrest the leaders who suppressed the rebels.
I will not forgive him this time because too many rebels were killed. Thirty-two rebel soldiers alone were killed, and several of them were killed after being caught.
Search all homes!
As for the Quzhou Prefecture, the dead were compensated one thousand taels of silver, which was not a pension, but life money from the reactionary landlords. Four were killed and seventeen were injured, and the total compensation was 9,100 taels of silver, just to give an explanation to the local rebels.
The Rebel Army is not the Datong Army, the two sides are allies.
Those who were killed or wounded in the rebel army have no military merit to speak of, and their children do not enjoy preferential treatment policies. After the war, they must be disbanded on the spot.
This money was paid directly by the landlords to the dead and injured, and had nothing to do with the Datong Army itself, let alone unclear rewards and punishments.
…
Lanxi County.
Li Yu was inspecting the city wall when he suddenly heard his slave shouting: "Here comes King Zhao, here comes King Zhao!"
Hearing the shouts, Li Yu quickly lay down on the parapet and looked out. Sure enough, he saw a large fleet of ships, with many Datong military flags, sailing towards the county seat in a mighty manner.
Li Yu clapped his hands and praised: "Sure enough, the army is so powerful, Mr. Zhao will definitely conquer the world!"
Tang Yuqi, the leader of the Lanxi rebel army, led his scholars and merchants out of the city and stood at the dock waiting to greet Zhao Han.
The fleet gradually came and finally docked on the shore.
"Meet Zhao Zongzhen (Zhao Tianwang)!"
Li Yu knelt on the ground, extremely excited and couldn't wait to see his idol.
He came from a family of doctors and had a very low status. Even though he was admitted as a scholar and was proficient in the Five Classics and was praised as a "Five Classics boy", he still did not get the respect of the upper class scholars.
His family is indeed engaged in business, but it is the uncle's property, and the business is not large, and the economic situation cannot be compared with that of big merchants.
Just like this, Li Yu is neither good nor bad, and he is extremely conceited. How would he feel if he was despised by the upper-class scholars?
What Li Yu couldn't stand the most was Mao Bijiang. The two were born in the same city in the same year, and they were both scholars and had many common friends. Li Yu took the initiative to make friends with Mao Bijiang, but when Mao Bijiang learned that he was from a medical family, he didn't
Looking at him squarely, Li Yu was so angry that he never spoke to this person again.
Li Yu highly praised "Theory of Gesture" and also liked all Jiangxi's policies.
A scholar who is called an eccentric scholar like Li Zhi and Chen Jiru, do you expect him to follow the rules? If Zhao Han tried to be more radical, Li Yu would applaud him.
"I'm coming!"
A pair of personal guards disembarked first, and then Zhao Han and the army secretary appeared.
Zhao Han took a few steps forward, helped Tang Yuqi up, and said to the others: "Everyone, please get up quickly. Unless it is an important occasion, you cannot kneel down. Those who kneel should not be human beings, but the parents of heaven and earth."
Tang Yuqi first introduced himself, and then introduced the scholars and merchants, all of whom contributed to the uprising.
Li Yu was ranked twelfth to be introduced. Tang Yuqi said: "Headquarters, this is the famous Five Classics boy in our county. He is proficient in the Five Classics at a young age. Li Xianlu, nicknamed Banfan, and named Tiantu."
"I've seen the main town!" Li Yu quickly handed over.
"Haha, what a good name, I'll remember it as soon as I hear it." Zhao Han smiled and returned the greeting.
Having a famous name really makes a difference. Tang Yuqi introduced more than ten people one after another, and Li Yu left the deepest impression on Zhao Han.
Is your father a cultivator? He actually gave you such a name.
After the introduction, Tang Yuqi invited Zhao Han to enter the city.
Zhao Han waved his hand and said: "No need, the march should be speedy. The army will rest here for half a day and will continue on its way tomorrow morning. Mr. Tang, the first priority is to take over the city, and then determine the household register and divide the fields. Brothers insurrection, can you help with the inventory and distribution?
Tian, these things require your support."
Tang Yuqi said: "Don't worry, the head of the town, we will definitely get things done!"
Li Yu suddenly said: "General Town, can I go out with the army?"
"Okay, your name is auspicious." Zhao Han said with a smile.
Smiling and laughing, Zhao Han suddenly realized that this is the author of "Rou X Group". The teacher spent two classes talking about it in class!
Of course, I am definitely not talking about "Meat X Group".
Li Yu was first a playwright and then a novelist. He could live a prosperous life relying on royalties.
He hit it off with Pu Songling, who was a friend of Grandpa Cao Xueqin. Among Li Yu's friends, there are more than 800 people recorded in writing. From the prime minister to the traffickers, they spread over more than 200 states and counties across the country.
This is a platinum best-selling author with friends all over the world in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
In fact, he is a doctor and a scholar.
After the Manchus entered the customs, he refused to be an official. He built bridges, paved roads, and carried out water conservancy projects in his hometown. The weirs and dams he built were still used for irrigation hundreds of years later. However, during the process of building canals, he encountered powerful obstacles and was defeated.
After the lawsuit, he was disheartened, so he turned to writing novels.
The army stayed in Lanxi County for half a day and continued on its way early the next morning. The newly dispatched 3,000 forwards were already approaching Yanzhou Prefecture.
After entering the mountainous area, Zhao Han frowned at the scenery on both sides of the river.
Eighty percent of the farmhouses scattered on the hillside are dilapidated, and the eaves are overgrown with weeds and no one has cleaned them.
Zhao Han called Li Yu over: "Even if it is dry land on a hillside but adjacent to a river, it should not be like this. I see that at least half of these farmhouses are unkempt. Are all the people in the family dead?"
Li Yu replied: "There have been severe droughts for many years and the government has imposed heavy taxes, so it is difficult to survive. This is not the case here, but it is the case all over Zhejiang. Elsewhere, the whole family dies, and the neighbors occupy their houses. But here is a remote village.
After the farmhouse was abandoned, not many people cared about it."
"Just tell me how many people died in the last drought in the village where your home is located?" Zhao Han asked.
Li Yu said: "Not many people died in the year of the drought, but in the second year of the drought there was widespread famine. Because of the government's pressure and the landlords' exploitation, the people's only food rations were also taken away. They either fled to Hangzhou, Shaoxing, or fled to Jiangxi, along the way.
Countless people died of starvation. One person fell and there was no body the next day. In the village where Wan Sheng lived, I only know that there were three people who had eaten human flesh."
"Alas." Zhao Han sighed.
Li Yu continued: "Fortunately, there is no drought in Zhejiang this year. However, the government taxes have become heavier, and many poor scholars have been unable to take the blame at home. Therefore, the leader of the charity society, Xu Zikou (Xu Du), stood up to cheer for the three people in Zhejiang.
Scholars from more than ten counties in the prefecture responded to the call."
During this uprising in central Zhejiang, many of them were scholars who did not have enough to eat.
Yishe is a branch of Fushe. Its purpose is to drive out traitors and traitors in the court and select talents to revitalize the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, this group of scholars was forced to rebel collectively.
Zhao Han felt a little guilty. Maybe he should have come last year and conquered Zhejiang earlier, which would have saved many people from starving to death.
The farmhouses on the shore were empty, and Zhao Han felt empty in his heart.
A dilapidated farmhouse means the death of the whole family. Zhao Han hates this happening.
Halfway through the journey, a small boat came, but it was the leading troops returning with information.
Zhao Han opened the letter and saw that it was a large army recruited by the governor of Zhejiang. It was already stationed in Yanzhou Fucheng, blocking the main road and preventing the Datong army from going straight to Hangzhou.
