didn't eat the fish and almost got fishy, Chen Zijian didn't expect that the constraints of traditional thinking on women, especially women from big families, were very serious, and he dared to destroy their reputation and commit suicide.

Of course, this kind of thinking mostly exists in the upper echelons of society, but not so much for the common people.

The mother and daughter Chen Zijian had not yet reached the point where they had to play with it, so they gave up. At most, it's just a little depressed.

Under the influence of Chen Zijian, Zhangjiacheng has a completely different development direction from the Ming Dynasty.

Later generations of British merchants once said,

"Oceania has our sheep pastures, Argentina and the western steppes of North America have our cattle, Peru sends its silver, gold from South Africa and Australia flows to London, and Indians and Chinese grow tea for us.

In a simple sentence, the latter represents the world order ruled by the British.

Chen Zijian hopes that in the future, his future generations, or others, will also say such a domineering language.

Compared with Chen Zijian's depression, Zhanjiang City at this time.

Li Hu walked with his hands behind his back and in a kind of king-eight posture, of course now he was a big man here, walking in the most arrogant posture he had ever seen before.

When Li Hu was a child, he saw a county order to collect taxes from his village, and it was in such a posture that he walked, which made a deep impression on the young Li Hu.

"You guys hurry up, you know, move everything you can here for me."

"Hey, the door over there was demolished for me, and the carving process was taken back to Zhangjiacheng, there must be someone willing to buy it, although the chief didn't look down on it, but it was also worth a few silver coins, demolished, demolished."

"The carved big bed here is good, it's demolished, why are you stunned, such a good big bed, take it back to Zhangjiacheng, don't buy it without a hundred silver coins."

"Give me a look, except for the stone and soil, give me a good look at other objects, take it back to Zhangjiacheng is a silver coin, the one who dares to lose doesn't want it, wait for the deduction."

Li Hu came in, obviously a big family in Zhanjiang City, such a big family, uh, was arrested and put on trial.

The volunteers attacked the city by force, and the people were generally invited to Zhangjiacheng, as part of the population growth, the big families who were favored by the volunteers would listen to the style of the family in advance, and if it was a good family, it would be okay to do good deeds and give alms to the people, build bridges and roads, and the volunteers would be very polite to invite them to Zhangjiacheng. If you are usually evildoers, there are those who are stubborn and bully the people.

This kind of large family belongs to the clean-up part, and the family is exterminated. The volunteers have copied all the property of such a family, and the two sides will not die or die, so naturally they will not be given a chance to take revenge.

The best way to solve these people is to try them publicly, let the people of Zhanjiang Chengyuan choose, if the people let them go, the volunteers will return all their property, otherwise don't blame the volunteers for being ruthless.

In addition to those people, the Volunteers arrested the gangsters and the like in the county town and threw them all to the mining area, which belonged to the place where the Volunteers held criminals.

Of the six major legions, except for Li Shi who stayed behind in Zhangjiacheng, the remaining five legions had different tasks, cleaning up the government forces on the Leizhou Peninsula from different places.

Zhanjiang, Leizhou, Suixi, Xuwen, Lianjiang, Wuchuan several counties were occupied.

Maoming County is in the middle of the government's power, if the government communicates consistently, and the volunteers are transferred from all sides to fight a decisive battle with the volunteers, the volunteers are at a numerical disadvantage.

Chen Zijian occupied the Leizhou Peninsula, except for Hainan Island, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, in the southernmost part, there was a lot of strategic space.

Even if the government sends troops to close together, the volunteers will not be able to form the most dangerous situation of being an enemy on all sides, of course, Hainan Island has a certain amount of government power, but the Hainan government can't even manage the Li people on the island, except for a few places, it is still a wild land.

Even if Hainan Island wants to send people to besiege the volunteers, isn't it funny to rely on some troops!

Chen Zijian stayed in the Zhangjiacheng government building, and news from the Leizhou Peninsula kept coming back in the past few days.

Relying on the strength of the volunteers, plus the government's own death, treating the military households as pigs and dogs, the attack of the volunteers went smoothly and the casualties were relatively reduced.

Xuwen County, a county under the jurisdiction of Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, is located in the southernmost part of Chinese mainland, the southwest of Guangdong Province, and the southern tip of Leizhou Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, the South China Sea in the east, the Beibu Gulf in the west, and the Qiongzhou Strait in the south. Zhang Lin's regiment arrived at its destination after a week's journey.

The main reason for rushing for so long is the drag of artillery, the net weight of the artillery is 250 kilograms, dragged by horses, the rainy weather on the Leizhou Peninsula, although the road is an official road, in fact, it is just a dirt road, how fast can it be on such a road.

Unless the volunteers occupy this place, they can only use a lot of manpower and material resources to build a cement road to smooth the road, otherwise they can only take such a dirt road.

The vanguard of the Volunteers, a squad of 100 people, each armed with a mini gun, plus horses to travel, is the essence of an offensive and defensive force in this era.

In the era when there were no cars, it was so capricious.

The vanguard intercepted those who arrived in advance and reported to Xu Wen from other places.

The Volunteers began their attack from Zhanjiang City, and if they did not intercept it, someone would go to Xuwen County to report the news, which was a tactical goal that the Volunteers did not allow.

"Captain, I noticed that a fast horse is coming."

Hiding near the high point of the road, the Pioneer Volunteers observed with a telescope and spotted the arrival of the fast horse.

"Go up, stop people, and if you have the intention of escaping, shoot immediately."

Quickly pull the horse rope and stop in front of the ambush of the pioneer volunteers, because the volunteers carried a tree to block the road, and hundreds of volunteers took aim with mini guns.

"Who are you? Don't get out of the way, what do you want to do. ”

Not far away, more than 50 people were tied, including small merchants who went to Xu Wen to sell goods, woodcutters who fetched firewood, carrying firewood to the county seat, passing by and being intercepted by the volunteers, and other people.

The Volunteers: "Don't you see it, don't you see it's a robbery!" ”

Immediately it was just a messenger, not to mention the Minnie gun, but he couldn't beat hundreds of volunteers alone, and when he saw the actions of the volunteers, he knew that it was not good, and wanted to turn around and run away.

"If you dare to run, let me down!"

The sturdy volunteers quickly stepped forward and pulled the man down before the horse ran far.

"Oops. Don't hit the masters, the little ones don't run. ”

The Volunteers scoured up the letter from the guy just now, "Hey, boy, what's this!" I still want to move the rescuers, it's useless, if it weren't for the above to prevent the people of Xu Wen County from escaping from the sea, I would care about you reporting the news and tie him aside to watch. ”

The road in front of the pioneer volunteers in Xuwen County blocked everyone's way, and as long as they passed through the temporary checkpoint, no matter who they were tied up.

After waiting for three days, Zhang Lin's army arrived. More than 300 people were intercepted, and they were tied up and thrown aside, but fortunately it didn't rain in the past few days, otherwise those people would have been uncomfortable.

Zhang Lin came over, "What's the matter, no one reported it!" ”

"Commander, make sure no one passes by."

Zhang Lin "set off, surrounded Xu Wen County, and arrested anyone for me." ”

Xuwen County, said to be the county seat, the size is worse than Zhanjiang City, the city wall is about three meters high, tens of thousands of volunteers come over, quickly surround the four city gates.

Xuwen County does not have any geographical advantages, and it is impossible to rely on geography to defend the city wall.

Inside the city.

"Little girl, it's time to greet your uncle!"

"Okay, okay, Qiao Gong and niece, please come in~" Cai County ordered the two to invite the two into the main hall, let the people serve wine and food, and were about to entertain them.

Suddenly, a soldier hurried in from outside the door;

"Report! The county commander, the thieves have surrounded the county seat, and the brothers have gone to the city wall to guard, please instruct the soldiers' faces are full of fear,

Cai Xianling originally wanted to think of a family affair for his son today, but everyone had already come over, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"What the hell is going on, is there another pirate coming ashore, just close the city gate."

Cai County Commander has been a county commander in Xuwen County for more than ten years, and there are no less than ten times a year to rob with sea pirates.

It's not the first time that pirates have come ashore, and they'll leave when they're out to loot. Xu Wen County is the face of the imperial court, and ordinary pirates dare not attack the county seat, after all, the Ming Dynasty has been squeezed for hundreds of years, and not everyone dares to challenge it.

"My lord, it's not a pirate, it's a thief, and there was a big anti-thief in Maoming County some time ago."

Cai Xian Ling was trembling, "What, don't go and guard it quickly, don't let them come in." ”

Cai County Order, as a high-level officer, knows a little more things, a few months ago, Du commanded the envoy to send 30,000 troops to encircle and suppress the anti-thief volunteers, and the result was defeated and returned, after the end of the war, the anti-thieves stopped for a while, who knew that they were here today.

Cai Xianling knew that if the anti-thief could appear here, then the several counties in front of him might have fallen into the hands of the anti-thief.

Xuwen County became the last county town that did not fall on the anti-thief, facing the sea on three sides, and the anti-thief stopped the land, Xuwen County was really a turtle in a cage, and there was nowhere to escape.

Unless you go to sea by boat, you may be able to escape, but the imperial court has long issued a ban on the sea, and Xu Wen County is often patronized by pirates, so some ships have long been robbed.

Cai Xian Ling went up to the city wall, and when he saw the anti-thief army outside, he was defeated in his heart.

"Open the door, don't make unnecessary resistance."

Hearing Cai County's order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, in the face of the coercion of the volunteers, the guards had no will to resist for a long time, after all, there were a group of people outside who were under black pressure, and there were artillery guns, so there was no guard who had the heart to resist.

In the past, pirates went ashore to rob, and the number of pirates was less than 200 at most, which made Xu Wenxian close the city gate and dare not go out to fight the pirates.

Now there are tens of thousands of volunteers, and the number of fighters is more than that of all the people in Xuwen County combined, how can this be fought.

"The lower officials open the door to welcome the victorious army, please let the people in the city go."

Compared with other civil officials, Cai Xianling does not have any literati arrogance, and anyone who is threatened by pirates more than ten times a year has no arrogance.

In the court, the civil officials can be arrogant, and they are determined to die for the sake of the common people, but it is even worse to really face such a situation as Cai County's order.

Zhang Lin: "We won't be soft on killing, who dares to resist don't blame my brother for being ruthless, I originally caught you and discounted one of your legs, since the city gate was opened, I will let you live, come and tie everyone up and send them back to Zhangjiacheng." ”

The volunteers entered the city to arrest people, but they did not encounter any resistance, and in the face of the arrest of tens of thousands of people, not many people were willing to take the lead to resist.

"Hurry up and send the news to Zhangjiacheng, and Xu Wenxian will take it."

"Yes, Captain."

Xu Wen County was successfully occupied, and the official forces on the Leizhou Peninsula were basically cleared, becoming Chen Zijian's rear.

As for whether someone from the next Guangxi Province will come over, there is no need to worry, the officials of Guangxi Province, without an order from the imperial court, dare to enter Eastern Guangdong Province at will, hehe, I don't want to be an official. Can officials casually go to other provinces, even if the provinces are suffering from the scourge of anti-thieves?

As an official, it is the right thing to guard one acre and three points of land, and the affairs of eastern Guangdong Province, as long as the volunteers do not enter Guangxi Province, there will be a matter of rebellion against thieves in Guangxi Province. I want to talk about "The Thief at the End of the Ming Dynasty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
