Chapter 375: Bai Guangen who was skinned and filled with grass

Bai Guangen is not dead, and like most generals, he wears two layers of armor.

A layer of iron armor and a layer of cotton armor, the bullet pierced through the iron armor, also pierced the cotton armor, and broke his ribs, which penetrated into his right chest, but did not hurt his heart.

When he was carried in front of Qin Chuan, Bai Guangen could still endure the pain and turn over and sit up, and then knelt on the ground.

"General Qin, the little one is willing to surrender, and he is willing to die for the saber mountain and the sea of fire."

Qin Chuan didn't speak, but only quietly looked at the three generals who surrendered from Liukou to the Ming Dynasty, then from the Ming Dynasty, and then from the Liukou to the Manchu Dynasty.

"General Qin, little ......"

"Tell me, how many Guan Emperor soldiers and how many people you have killed." Qin Chuan waved his hand impatiently to interrupt him.

Hearing this, Bai Guangen's face changed: "General, the two armies are fighting, each with its own ......"

"Since each is his master, let it be dragged down and cut down...... No, peel the skin and fill the grass, hang it on the bank of the Yellow River in the ditch, and show Hong Chengchou on the other side of the river. ”

"Yes."

The two Guan Emperor soldiers put up Bai Guangen's arms.

Bai Guangen shuddered for a while: "The general spares his life, the little one is willing to tell the truth about the military situation on the other side, please spare the general." ”

Qin Chuan ignored him and just looked at him expressionlessly.

Soon, Bai Guangen was taken away.

"General, there are more than 400 prisoners, what should I do?" Feng Wubao on the side lowered his head and asked with one hand on his chest.

"Slaughter them all, avenge Eleven and those brothers, cut off the heads of those corpses, and insert them on the bank of the ditch for Hong Chengchou to see."

"Thank you, General."

Feng Wubao knelt down on one knee and solemnly saluted Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan didn't stop him, he only asked, "Have you found Eleven's head?" ”

"Found it."

"That's good, Liu Youzhu will temporarily take over your defense area, you first escort the corpses of Eleven and those brothers back to Xingxian, I will lead the troops to the north, personally sit in the town, let your eldest brother and a few brothers go to Xingxian to meet you, and escort Eleven's corpse back to Fengjiazhuang together."

"I'll give you half a month, after the funeral of the eleventh, first recuperate at home for a few days, and when the time comes, you will immediately return to your respective defense areas, we still have a lot of battles to fight."

"Thank you, General."

Feng Wubao saluted gratefully.

"Go ahead."

"Yes."

After Feng Wubao left, Qin Chuan called Bobcat and Liu Youzhu again and gave them a careful order.

He asked the lynx to stay in Linxian, responsible for the defense line along the Yellow River in Linxian, and to support Yongning Prefecture at any time.

Liu Youzhu stayed in Xingxian County, temporarily took over the defense line along the Yellow River in Xingxian County, and supported Tuenogou at any time.

At the same time, Qinchuan sent people back to Loufu and notified all departments to come to Yongning Prefecture and Linxian County to establish an administrative management system, measure cultivated land, and resettle the people.

With Wang Jizong, Wencheng and others, after more than two years of continuous optimization and adjustment, Qin Chuan has established a complete set of administrative institutions and an efficient civil administration system.

This set of administrative institutions refers to the government organs of the Ming Dynasty, with a number of functional departments at the same level, all of which are directly responsible to Qinchuan, the military and the government are separated, the financial taxation is independent into a department, and agriculture, industry, commerce, etc. are also independent of a department, abolishing conscription and raising agricultural taxes.

Now, Qin Chuan only needs to lead his troops to fight, occupy the territory, and the administrative agency behind him will quickly take over the territory and establish an administrative system in the local area.

One of the advantages of separating the military from the government is that the military will not face too many bullshit problems, and the administrative organs will not have to worry about defense, military rations, and conscription.

It's just that Qin Chuan is now facing a very serious problem: there are too few talents.

His administrative structure needs a lot of talent, and as his territory expands, so does the shortage of talent.

The so-called talent is a literate person, and if he can't even read official documents, he will naturally be unfit for office.

However, most of the scholars in these years were gentlemen, and the poor people could not even afford to buy books, and they had to work in the fields every day for a mouthful of food, and few people had the opportunity to read.

Most of the gentlemen in the governance were copied by Qin Chuan, these people would not work hard for themselves, and the gentlemen outside were also offended by Qin Chuan, and few people were willing to serve him, Feng Gongniu in Yongning Prefecture was an exception, Xiao Kaihe and others in Yongning Prefecture were exceptions.

The school didn't teach the talents that Qin Chuan needed so quickly, and in just two years, he couldn't learn anything.

Therefore, Qin Chuan still had to recruit from the original scholar class.

Although the scholar class at the end of the Ming Dynasty was the main culprit in the land annexation and hollowing out the country, there were still many enlightened people and righteous gentlemen.

If you want to recruit these people, you have to have more benchmarks.

For this reason, Qin Chuan also handed over a very important thing to the ministries: to entertain Wu Fu well, and let the various departments send a few people to take him around, to see the people's livelihood in Loufu, Lanxian, Jingle, Lanzhou and other places, and to see the development of agriculture, industry, commerce and other industries. 315 Chinese Network

Wu Fu learned the set of heaven and earth monarchs, heaven and earth should be put in the first place, heaven and earth should be feared, and then loyal to the monarch and the country, and finally the relatives and teachers.

It's not so easy to get him to work sincerely, but if you give him a walk around his own territory, maybe you can impress him.

If one lap doesn't work, take a few more laps.

……

After arranging the defense, Qin Chuan continued to go north with 2,000 Guan Imperial troops on the same day, and arrived at Tuiwogou two days later.

Feng Yilong deliberately took Feng Qiwolf and Feng Thirteen Ying out of the camp for five miles to greet Qin Chuan.

After a few words of care, Qin Chuan brought Bai Guangen's human skin and two thousand-level human head up.

Seeing the human skin and several carts of human heads, Feng Yilong, like Feng Wubao, suddenly knelt down on one knee and arched his hand towards Qin Chuan: "Thank you General for avenging Eleven." ”

"Thank you, General, for avenging Eleven."

Feng Qiwolf and Feng Thirteen Eagle also hurriedly knelt down and thanked them together.

"Eh, since you have followed me, you are your own brother, and Eleven is also my brother, why should you say thank you for avenging your brother? Get up. ”

"The fifth brother has already transported Eleven's body back to Xingxian, you should also go back, send Eleven, by the way, the brothers will reunite for a few days, and return to the ditch in Fifteen days."

"Thank you, General."

"Let's go explain the defense, and then hurry back."

"Yes."

Feng Yilong saluted Qin Chuan gratefully, and then took his two younger brothers back to make arrangements.

Qin Chuan took over the defense of Tiwogou with 2,000 Guan Imperial troops, and then asked people to fill Bai Guangen's human skin with grass and stick it on the bank of the Yellow River, and the heads of the 2,000 Ming troops were also inserted on the bank.

……

Hong Chengchou has been waiting, waiting for Feng Yilong to divide his troops.

According to the news from Bai Guangen, he had successfully crossed the Yellow River and entered the area of Xingxian County, and not long ago he had just surrounded Luoyukou Village and killed more than 300 thieves who came to help, including a thief army general named Feng Shiyidiao, and then successively encircled and suppressed Zhaojiaping and Kangning Town, beheading more than 600.

There are not many thieves in Xingxian County, only more than 1,000 troops, and they have been chasing behind Bai Guangen, but they can't catch up.

It stands to reason that in this case, Feng Yilong will definitely send troops to aid Xingxian, so as not to let more villages fall to Bai Guangen.

When Feng Yilong transferred some of his soldiers and horses, he could cross the river and storm the ditch.

Maybe the casualties will be very heavy, but his own strength is several times that of Feng Yilong, as long as the other party divides his troops, his chances of victory will be much greater, and it is worth a try.

As long as he can cross the river, he can take advantage of the opportunity of Qinchuan to go south and take Fuxing County and Baode Prefecture one after another. Hequ County is waiting.

However, Bai Guangen has been making trouble in Xingxian for several days, Feng Yilong was indifferent, and even his younger brother Feng Shiyi Diao was killed by Bai Guangen, and he did not divide his troops to hunt down Bai Guangen.

Hong Chengchou had to look at the river and sigh, helpless.

After a few days of confrontation, Hong Chengchou knew that this was not the way, and hurriedly sent someone to secretly cross the river and inform Bai Guangen to withdraw his troops.

If you don't leave, it'll be too late.

It's just that the morning after Hong Chengchou sent people out, he saw Bai Guangen.

Early in the morning, a personal soldier ran into the courtyard and whispered a few times in front of Hong Chengchou's house.

Hong Chengchou frowned and opened the door of the house, and his face changed drastically when he heard the military report from the pro-soldier, and he hurriedly rushed out.

When he arrived at the river, Hong Chengchou took out the telescope he had purchased from Francois and aimed it at the opposite bank.

After only a few careful glances, Hong Chengchou's face changed greatly.

He saw a human skin, which looked a bit like Bai Guangen.

He also saw the dense crowd of human heads by the river, which were inserted into the river with wooden sticks in a neat and orderly manner.

In the ditch, in front of the flag of the word "Feng", I don't know when a big flag with the word "Qin" was erected, which kept fluttering in the wind.

That human skin is undoubtedly Bai Guangen.

The dense human heads by the river must be his 2,000 subordinates.

And the "Qin" character will be the flag, indicating that Qin Chuan has arrived at the ditch.

After looking at it with an ugly face for a long time, Hong Chengchou suddenly put down his binoculars and sighed inexplicably.

"Stick to the river and wait for the opportunity."

"Yes!"
