After the city was defeated, Hou Xi, the commander of the army, rushed into the temple to find Zhang Ju, the prefect. When he learned that Zhang Ju had already fled from the west city gate with 400 old soldiers.
He no longer cared about his wife, children, and money in his treasury, and hurriedly chased Zhang Ju to leave with him. But suddenly a group of prisoners stopped Xicheng Street, looking for county officials with seals and ribbons.
Give me a knife.
When the city was broken, the swordsmen and jailers who were originally responsible for guarding the prison temple were all defeated. Then these prisoners smashed the wooden shackles and escaped. Along the way, they cheered when they saw the Taishan bandits entering the city, and they all eagerly joined the army.
.Many of these prisoners were kind-hearted. Many of them could not pay the money for their service, so they were sent to the prison temple by the military commander, and then tortured by the filthy county officials. At this moment, they were filled with anger and vowed to punish those prisoners.
The swordsman and penman of pigs and dogs seek revenge.
As soon as Hou Si, the commander of the army, was stopped by these people, he immediately turned around and hid in a treasury on the street. This place was a money bank. Not long after Hou Si hid in it, he was smashed by these prisoners.
opened the door and broke in.
At this moment, Hou Xi had hanged himself on a beam in the warehouse, but the angry prisoners carried him out to the street and cut the man's body into pieces on the street. Some of them were so jealous that they even ate him.
of meat.
As for the county guard over there, Li Xiang was originally guarding the East City Tower. Later, when the East City Gate was broken, he retreated to the County Governor's Mansion with the defeated army. He still wanted to continue to resist. But the people who had already rushed into the city had
Wang Zhang's troops happened to be attacking the governor's mansion when they saw this man running towards him with his broken troops. Looking at his seal and ribbon, he knew he was a general and immediately surrounded him and killed him. His head was also sent to Zhang Chong to report his merits.
When Zhang Ju's secretary, Shi Bianwei, came to see Zhuge Gui when the city was breached, he wanted to take him away with him. The prefect Zhang Ju had already loaded his car at the prefect's mansion and was about to flee from the west city gate. Bian Wei remembered Zhuge Gui and hurriedly
If you come here, you should take him with you.
But Zhuge Gui directly rejected Bian Wei's invitation. In addition to giving Bian Wei his copy of Zhang's signature and letting him escape on his own, he was still in the office and planned to be loyal.
Bian Wei jumped up and down anxiously, and was about to persuade him again when he heard the footsteps outside. Not daring to stay any longer, he climbed over the wall and ran towards Zhang Ju's motorcade, and then they ran away from the west city gate together.
The footsteps outside the office were indeed Taishan soldiers. This group of soldiers was affiliated with Jinquan. At this moment, under the leadership of their generals, they were searching the Junchen Temple. Anyone with soldiers would be knifed if they saw them.
Finally, Zhuge Gui held his sword and killed him, running and shouting:
"Don't try to kill my subordinates. I, the great Han Zhuge Jungong, are here."
When General Nashi saw the county official holding his troops, he immediately cut the seal and ribbon to death. Over there, he heard the local guide shouting:
"Gao Tou, this is a good official."
Then General Nashi's sword stopped abruptly in front of Zhuge Gui's neck. If he had been a step too late, this good official would have been killed.
Zhuge Gui was also frightened, but then he was ashamed of his own fear. He raised his sword again to stab this general, but then the sword was knocked off by the opponent, and then he was tied up, and he heard what happened.
will say:
"I haven't kidnapped a good official yet. It's just the right time to give this good official to him. It's also a gift from us."
Zhuge Gui was kidnapped here, while other Cao officials from other government agencies either disguised themselves, hid in civilian houses, hanged themselves in their houses, or were killed with their troops. In short, there were more than a hundred officials in the Cao government, and none of them survived.
one.
During this process, Zhang Chong's army's offensive continued. When Wang Zhang captured Shuya, Li Damu captured the west city, Dian Wei captured the south city, and Ding Sheng captured the east city. Zhang Chong ordered his troops to prepare food outside the city.
Once a batch is ready, it is sent to the city, and then each department takes turns to eat.
Thanks to the abundant and timely military food, the soldiers maintained a fierce offensive after being well fed. Finally, in the afternoon of this day, the entire Fenggao City was occupied by the Taishan Army.
After capturing Fenggao, Zhang Chong ordered all the troops outside the city to enter the city to suppress possible rebellion by powerful forces. The garrison points of each ministry are as follows:
Zhang Chong's headquarters was stationed in the county office, Guan Yu's headquarters was stationed in the county prime minister's office, the baggage battalion was stationed in Sucang, and the Shengku Yousi was stationed in the treasury. In addition, Wang Zhang moved his troops to the arsenal, Li Damu stationed in the west city, and Dianwei stationed in the south city.
Ding Sheng was stationed in the east city and Chen Huan was stationed in the north city.
After entering the city, Zhang Chong immediately issued an order to block the four civilians and not to kill the people in vain. At the same time, he ordered all ministries to restrain the troops and strictly guard their jurisdictions. The transport team made rice again and sent it to each ministry. After the soldiers were full, they rarely felt faint.
I went to disturb the people. After that, the first night in the city ended under the eyes of all the generals.
In the early morning of the second day after entering the city, Zhang Chong issued another order, signed by the Record Office Shi Fan Chang, to stop killing in the city. Whenever the enemy was encountered, each department was not allowed to kill privately, and all were handed over to the newly established Military Law Cao, who would be tried by the new Cao Chief Zhao Da.
.In addition, in order to prevent the evil party from setting fires, various ministries have taken full responsibility to jointly prevent fires with the residents of the house where they are located, and quickly set up a capable patrol team to deal a heavy blow to the evil party wandering in the city.
After the new order came down, all the ministries acted in accordance with the order. Since entering the city, all the ministries have not invaded any civilian premises, and they have all stayed on the long streets, even at night. However, the baggage team has sent firewood and turf to each ministry for the night.
Keep out the cold night.
So when the people in the city woke up in the morning and saw these so-called thieves sleeping on the street together, they would rather sleep on mulberry grass than enter the houses of the people. Although they didn't say it with their mouths, they already felt it in their hearts.
This bandit is different.
The military discipline of the Taishan Army is not developed in a day. If the discipline is to be deepened, the backbones must take the lead. At this point, the backbone military officers of each department support Qu Kui and respect the cause of the Taishan Army from the bottom of their hearts.
They are generally the same as Zhang Chong, they all come from poor families, either from Shanliao or bankrupt farmers, and they all accept Zhang Chong's military discipline from their hearts.
Do not disturb the people, do not demolish houses, do not rob millet. Do not rob poor people.
As for the vast number of Taiping soldiers, they have the restraints of their respective military officials, which can prevent violations of discipline. And more importantly, because of the implementation of the holy treasury system, these soldiers have clothes to wear, food to eat, and everyone has
It's all the same, everyone keeps warm, and there's no incentive to risk punishment to rob people.
Since ancient times, military discipline has been lax unless the generals intentionally indulged it, mostly because the army lacked food. Once a person becomes hungry, he is no longer a human, but an animal. Animals have no sense of reason or reason. This is also the case since Zhang Chong entered the city.
Two orders were given to the transport team to prepare meals to feed the entire army, in order to enforce military discipline.
Since Zhang Chong entered the city, he has repeatedly issued orders to enforce strict military discipline, which has indeed achieved great results. Not only did the four civilians quickly settle down, but later the supply team recruited lonely people in the city to repair the battlements. After the first batch of recruited civilians actually received the money and food, the rest of the army
Everyone is happy to join the fundraiser.
At this time, the people in the city, if not welcome, at least did not object to the Taishan Army entering the city.
Originally, the military chief, Zhao Da, also suggested that in order to facilitate management and control, all the people in the city should be organized into teams, with five households per team, and ten households per team. If one family had something to do, the rest would sit together. This would allow each household to manage and supervise each other.
Zhang Chong thought for a while but refused. They had just entered the city with Taishan soldiers, so it was not appropriate to control the people too much and cause resentment. Moreover, there were not enough civilian officials at the moment, so it was not practical to organize a large number of troops for the whole city.
Zhang Chong looked at Zhao Da's stance towards the people, and secretly thought that it was no wonder that the Second Emperor of Qin died.
Zhang Chong knew in his heart that it was very simple to quickly stabilize the people, that is, if you don't interfere with their normal life, they can continue to live their lives without caring about who is in charge. Therefore, when Emperor Gaozu entered Guanzhong, he only made three agreements to stabilize the people's hearts.
But Zhang Chong does not intend to let the people be locked up and live their own lives. In his governing philosophy, he will carry out a series of transformations for the four people in the future. This is a toss for the common people, but this life is not a toss.
It's not going well.
But there is no rush now. Before the foundation of mutual trust between the Taishan Army and the people has been completely established, don't do anything extra. The more you do, the more mistakes you make.
After pacifying the people, Zhang rushed into the city and the second major task was to collect money and replenish the holy treasury.
After Zhang Chong entered the city, he collected millions of dollars from Fenggao's treasury, 600,000 shi of grain, and 400 horses. In addition, he seized countless weapons, including 300 large armor collars and thousands of leather armors. After that, Fanjun
The wealth of the officials' families was all confiscated, causing this number to double again.
Now that the city has settled down, Zhang Chong plans to punish the powerful. Zhang Chong has his own strategy for punishing the powerful. It is natural that he first seizes the money and food from the government treasury, and because the county officials are losers, their family property
There is nothing to say about confiscation. But there is a specific difference in the payment of powerful people.
If you torture and plunder all the powerful people, you would be making an extreme mistake. If you do not make any distinction between the powerful people at the beginning of the uprising, then you will give back some of the power you can win to the enemy when the power is still very weak in the early stage.
Weaken yourself and strengthen your enemies.
So Zhang Chong gave the torture team three standards: those with a bad reputation, the richest, and those with someone in the family earning two thousand dan. In short, the above three categories are all Zhang Chong cannot win over, so they are naturally enemies.
Then the torture team, led by the powerful children of Hu's mother's family and four other families, went to each family to check according to these three criteria. Anyone who did not meet the above three standards would be given a yellow flag and a letter of "goodness" written on it.
The word means that the other teams should not disturb you.
But this "goodness" flag is not given in vain. Each family that receives this flag must pay a tribute of one hundred thousand. The one hundred thousand does not have to be money, it can also be other gold, silver, millet, chickens, ducks, etc.
Livestock were used as offsets. Then, those with a bad reputation and those who were resentful among the poor households in Guizhou Province were punished with high wages.
As for the poor and independent Guizhou Province in the city, the Taishan Army still set up recruiting flags in various urban areas. The strong ones entered the camp as soldiers, and the weak entered the old camp under the supply camp and were responsible for winning food. And regardless of the old or weak, their family members were recruited into the camp.
Set up a battalion and be raised by the army.
One more thing, after the city was broken, the family members of the Fenggao soldiers who died in the battle outside the city, except for a few who committed suicide in fear, were all taken over by the Taishan army and raised as before.
Zhang Chong, the leader of the Ququ, said that although Fenggao camp is an enemy, they are all good men. The children of good men cannot be abused like pigs and dogs. They must be raised with kindness and tell their fathers how dead they are.
. Tell them that their fathers chose to charge and die for their lives.
What do you mean by the accumulation of roads in the battlefield? You know the country of Xu by attaching importance to one's spirit and neglecting one's life.
