Zhang Rui only stayed in Zhaoqing City for eight days, leaving behind a thousand bandit troops to train newly recruited recruits. Then he led his troops to Qingyuan City.

Regarding the government affairs of Zhaoqing City, Zhang Rui explained to Liu Muxiu, who came. Everything is based on stability, and Zhang Rui has not made any major changes.

After two battles, Zhang Rui's bank and granary still have some family background. Unlike other peasant rebel armies, Zhang Rui's bandit army was much tighter in control. All the teams must join the army to supervise and guide, and those who dare to violate the military discipline of the anti-bandit army will not be tolerated.

It is precisely because of this that the bandit army did not harass the ordinary people after attacking Zhaoqing City. Even two days after Zhaoqing City was laid, there were still some people who didn't know that Zhaoqing City had been replaced.

Now, the recruits in Wuzhou City and Zhaoqing City have not been trained well, and Zhang Rui can only rely on the former veterans and the green battalion soldiers who have taken refuge.

Everything has not yet been decided, and there is no general who can stand alone. Therefore, Zhang Rui also had to lead his troops to the battle, and as for the place where he fell, he could only let Liu Muxiu behind him take those scholars who came over to get it.

As long as there are no major problems with the policy, the rear is almost stable. At present, there is no policy on the part of the bandit army to damage all parties, so no squire will risk cutting off his head to cause trouble for the "anti-thieves".

The slogan of "two buckets per mu" has been publicized in the past few days, so that many poor people who have no land and no land have seen hope.

Especially when they heard that each of the recruited soldiers could get a share of 20 acres of land, the recruitment office was even more overcrowded these days. If it weren't for Zhang Rui's standard to select troops, maybe the bandit army could easily recruit 50,000 troops.

Even so, the recruitment of new recruits for the bandit army is constantly increasing.

At this time, the recruits recruited by the bandit army were more than 1,200 recruits in Wuzhou City (mainly because Zhang Rui had almost recruited all the troops in Wuzhou City in Zhilian Mountain. ）

Because Zhaoqing City is far away from Wuzhou City, it recruited more people, and 20,000 people were recruited in eight days.

At the same time, the recruitment work has been smoother with the suppression of bandit troops with the power to destroy the entire Zhaoqing District.

During the attack on Yangjiang County, Yang Shen, the chief soldier stationed in Yangjiang, was completely unaware of the tactics of suppressing the bandit army, and the army he led was instantly defeated, and he himself was killed in the charge.

It's really embarrassing to think that a general soldier of the Great Qing Kingdom was killed like this. It is precisely because of this that many poor people and those who are committed to anti-Qing people are enthusiastic. Many people didn't even need the propaganda team of the bandit army to publicize it, and they consciously cut off the ugly braids.

Since Yang Shenmo, the commander-in-chief of the Yangjiang garrison, was killed, the Qing army had no strength in Zhaoqing Mansion to stop the footsteps of the bandit army.

The musketeers led by Li Guozhong and Zhang Zhishan descended in several ways. The continuous surrender of the green battalion soldiers along the way made Zhang Rui's bandit army continue to expand.

For the surrendered green battalion soldiers, the method of suppressing the bandit army is to be incorporated first, and then ask for money and land and then choose by themselves, but it is certain to follow the siege.

The green battalion soldiers who kept surrendering all the way made the bandit army that went south to pacify Zhaoqing City even more overwhelming.

Originally, there were only 2,000 musketeers and 600 cavalry to suppress the bandits, but when they were brought back, the strength was 30,000, not counting some of the troops sent to stay in the counties.

At this time, Zhang Rui's territory has been laid, Wuzhou Mansion, Yulin Prefecture, and Zhaoqing Mansion.

If Li Guozhong hadn't received Zhang Rui's order to return to Zhaoqing when he wanted to fight Zhanjiang, Zhanjiang would have let Li Guozhong beat him down.

Zhang Rui had to transfer back the musketeers, because he needed to attack Qingyuan City, and after fighting Qingyuan, he could go directly to Guangzhou City.

At this time, the bandit army occupied Wuzhou Mansion, and the news of Zhaoqing Mansion had reached Guangzhou City.

Heaven and earth will be the general rudder

"Did you hear that? That Zhang Rui has already laid down Wuzhou Mansion and Zhaoqing City. I heard that he has already led troops to fight Qingyuan City, and according to his ability, maybe Qingyuan has been defeated. Qin Xialu said excitedly to Liu Sixteen

"Where can I not hear about it, now the whole city of Guangzhou knows about it, and I heard that Hong Xiguan and they are ready to go over to him." Liu Sixteen also replied excitedly

"No, and this Zhang Rui is very good, I heard that they have land in every household, and they only need two buckets of grain per mu." Qin Xialu said teasingly

"Lord Qin Xiang, is this true?" Another Heaven and Earth Sect under the hall, Li Muhe, the incense master, asked

"Yes, Lord Li Xiang, they said it when they recruited soldiers. Surely there is nothing wrong with that! Qin Xialu replied affirmatively to Li Muhe

"Every household has a share of land? Is that possible? It won't be an acre of land for each household! Li Muhe asked with some confusion

"How is it possible, Lao Li, you love to think blindly. What they said was that every family without children would be given five acres of land. Liu Sixteen replied to Li Muhe's statement a little unbearably.

"Brother Sixteen, this is at least five acres per household, where did he get so much land for us to share?" Li Muhe asked

"You don't have to worry about that, you've already been asked this question. Their answer was that Liaodong, the hometown of the Tartars, where there was not much but a lot of fields. ”

"I heard that the fields there are all fertile land, and they are all black soil. As long as the seeds are thrown away, there is no need to fertilize the good land. That's why the Tartars didn't let us go there, and they planted wicker over there, and cut off their heads as long as they dared to cross the wicker. Liu Sixteen replied

"Is there really such a good land? If that's the case, those Tartars really damn it, such a good land is wasted. Li Muhe said angrily, and knocked his fist on the stool he was sitting on as he spoke.

"What other good things can the Tartars have, there are still few people who kill us, and it's all to say anything about the Manchu family all day long." Qin Xialu echoed Li Muhe and said

"Sixteen, do you think this Zhang Rui can succeed?" Li Muying asked after taking a puff of cigarette

"Helmsman, at present, this Zhang Rui is indeed capable, if he can't do things like this, then it will be difficult to overthrow the Tartar court." After listening to Li Muying's words, Liu Sixteen thought carefully and said

"You can't be wrong to say that, and no one can take down two mansions so quickly. Do you think we should also take refuge in him? Find a way out for our brothers? Li Muying asked

“
