In September, the weather is getting cooler, like smoke and rain, and a few yellow leaves occasionally fall in the lush green shade of Yuelu Mountain.

Han Qian stood under the gazebo, the wind swept in the smoke and rain, and he could already feel a little chill when he blew his face.

"No one knows the death of Shen Shaojian, even the two eunuchs who served him before his death were killed by the cane in front of the palace gate the next day for stealing private belongings...... "A young man from the Xi clan sent back by Feng Yu reported the news they had collected during their time in Jinling.

Han Qian nodded, and the young man of the Xi clan in the cloak went down the mountain and fell into the smoke and rain.

Han Qian sighed slightly, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought......

Although Shen He was destined to die, in order to make him look like he was recovering from his time in Tanzhou, Han Qian ordered the use of a great tonic in the medicine given to him, which was actually overdrawing his last bit of vitality in advance.

Shen He failed to survive August, and Han Qian can also be said to have helped Anning Palace behind his back.

In the past two months, the Tanwangfu and Hunan marching troops have also made every effort to reorganize the forces of the eight states in Hunan after the reduction of the feudal domain.

The five prefectures of Yue, Lang, Tan, Shao, and Heng were recovered, and a total of 40,000 prisoners were captured, plus the soldiers and horses attached to Zhang Han, Gao Long, Miao Yong and other generals, there were nearly 6,000 people.

Of these 46,000 people, there were about 26,000 township soldiers who were drawn into the army, and the people in Xingtai finally decided after discussion to let 11,000 township soldiers return to their homes to ensure that the agricultural affairs of the prefectures would be affected by the war as little as possible, and the other 15,000 township soldiers who remained by drawing lots were incorporated into the newly established state battalions in Langzhou, Yuezhou, Tanzhou, Shaozhou, and Hengzhou, and were preserved as the necessary armed forces for maintaining local law and order and basic defense.

The appointment of state commanders, soldiers and horses, and even military attachés at the grassroots level was mainly held by military attachés and veterans from the Dragon Bird Army.

The veterans of the Dragon Bird Army preferred to return to their hometowns and reunite with their families after the war, and even resisted being selected to be transferred to the prefecture battalions as grassroots military attachés.

Even if their families are resettled, a large number of veterans who are brave and brave but do not know a few big characters, do not have enough time for training, and have a very poor ability to adapt to the unfamiliar environment, it is difficult to expect them to be able to coordinate the complex relationship with the local clans and the township soldiers, and the contradictions between them and the local and township soldiers are also endless.

This also led to the fact that the combat effectiveness of the state battalions was rather limited.

However, at present, it is necessary to ensure the absolute control of the local government and prevent local dissenting intentions, which is also a method that must be implemented.

At this time, Jinyunlou supervised and spied on the place in the name of searching for rebellion, and it became an indispensable supplementary means to control the prefectures and counties.

In addition to Jinling and the people who secretly sneaked to Shu and Liang to spy on the news, Jinyunlou's supervision of the eight prefectures in Hunan was also recruited from the captured township soldiers by the end of August to expand to 400 people.

In addition to the township soldiers, there are more than 20,000 captive soldiers, who are the soldiers and horses of the military government directly under the jurisdiction of the Ma family, and these people, together with more than 130,000 people from their families, are naturally organized into the military government soldiers of the Dragon Bird Army this time.

The former Tanzhou military government in Taojiang, Ziyang, Ningxiang and other places has a total of more than 900,000 mu of grain fields, and naturally the original military households are still responsible for farming.

Due to the short duration of the war along the Dongting Lake, the major cities such as Tanzhou, Yueyang, and Hanshou were almost recovered without much military disaster, and the damage to agriculture and urban handicrafts was minimized, and did not cause a devastating blow.

In the past two months, Jinling has also dispatched a large number of civilian officials to fill the vacancies created by the punishment and purge of rebels, and the situation in the counties along the Dongting Lake has quickly stabilized.

Although the city was trapped at the time of the Tanzhou Festival

The direct inspection of the embassy was extremely limited, but with the in-depth liquidation of the rebel civil and military generals, more than 800,000 acres of grain fields and mulberry fields, more than 6,000 houses, more than 300 pawn shops and warehouses, three shipyards, six iron mines, six coal quarries, 12 weaving yards, and more than 60 large and medium-sized water mills were inspected.

In addition, more than 90,000 slaves and maids were raided, as well as rebels and families who were demoted to slavery.

260,000 stone of grain and other goods were confiscated, and more than 5 million yuan of money was confiscated.

There is no doubt that the money and grain confiscated were confiscated as public funds for Hunan Xingtai and Zhuzhou, as well as for the army support of the Dragon Bird Army.

Twenty or thirty iron mines, shipyards, weaving institutes, coal quarries, and more than 10,000 officials, slaves, and maids of vassals were all under the jurisdiction of Xingtai and operated by Zhang Qian, with Zhang Qian as the supervisor.

In addition, more than 40,000 officials, slaves and maids were organized, totaling more than 7,000 households, as well as more than 300,000 acres of grain fields and mulberry fields, to further expand the scale of the military households and military government tuntians of the Longque Army.

So far, the cantonment military government under the jurisdiction of the Tanwang Mansion has been expanded to ten, with a total of 60,000 military households, nearly 100,000 strong and brave, and more than 2 million mu of grain fields.

This also means that the war of cutting the feudal domain has reached this stage, and the scale of the military households and tuntian directly under the jurisdiction of the Tan Wangfu has more than doubled.

Regardless of the extreme situation when the war broke out, the Dragon Bird Army had to maintain a standing combat strength of about 30,000 people on a daily basis, which was almost at the level of one out of three, which was equivalent to each Ding Zhuang of the military government, and the average annual military service of nearly four months, and the purchase and repair of military armor were all the responsibility of the soldiers themselves.

In addition, every 10 military households had to support one mule and horse, and they had to pay a certain amount of land tax according to the head of the household.

This is still quite a heavy burden for ordinary soldiers.

However, as far as the Tanwangfu and Hunan Xingtai are concerned, maintaining an elite combat strength of 30,000 people and a local state camp of about 30,000 people, as long as a large-scale war does not break out, it is enough.

In addition to 200,000 acres of grain fields, mulberry and hemp fields and more than 2,000 households of officials, slaves and maids directly classified as the private property of the Three Princes Tan Palace, there are also nearly 300,000 acres of grain fields, mulberry land and nearly 4,000 officials, slaves and maids are used to reward meritorious generals.

With the support of the three princes, Han Qian and his father Han Daoxun were still designated as the first contributors to the reduction of the domain, ranking ahead of Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, Zheng Hui, Marquis of Zhenyuan, Yang Jian, Shen Yang and others.

In addition to the houses in Tanzhou City, Han Qian and his father Han Daoxun were also rewarded with more than 6,000 acres of grain fields, 200 households, slaves and maids, and 300 soldiers.

This time, 8,000 soldiers were also recruited and transferred to Shaozhou by lottery from the newly added cantonment military government and more than 30,000 soldiers, and they were transferred to Shaozhou, where they were incorporated into the Zuolongque Army and accepted Li Zhihe's command and training.

At this time, Li Zhihe was on the southern front, in addition to directly commanding the newly formed Zuo Longque Army, he also controlled the state camps in Shaozhou and Hengzhou, and was temporarily fully responsible for suppressing and resisting the remnants of the rebels who fled into Yongzhou.

Although the number of soldiers and horses under Li Zhihe's control at this time was as high as 23,000, more than three-quarters of them were surrendered and captured, and it is difficult to say how much combat strength there is, and it is difficult to launch a large-scale offensive against the Yongzhou rebels from Wuzhiling in a short period of time.

However, in addition to the more than 15,000 elites of the Right Dragon Bird Army resting in Tanzhou City, the more than 3,000 generals of the Naval Division of the Ship Army, the 3,000 elites of the Chenzhou Fan Battalion under the command of Xiying, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Tanzhou Prefecture Battalion, after the ancient post road over the Xuefeng Mountain was opened, the distance from Qianyang County to Wugang County in Shaozhou was shortened to 130 li.

Jinling is calm for the time being, and the three princes are sitting in Tanzhou, mainly to stabilize the situation in Hunan.

Military and political affairs are assisted by Shen Yang and Xinchang Hou Li Pu, while Shen Yang has Wang Lin, Zhang Qian and others and conspiracy, Li Pu has Wen Ruilin, Chai Jian, Li Chong and others and conspiracy, and Han Qian participates in the military as a counselor, but he is not the busiest.

After the affairs of Jinyun Tower were sorted out smoothly, the third prince ordered Han Qian to go to Shaozhou to assist Li Zhihe in reorganizing the military garrison on the southern front.

No matter what changes occur in Jinling, Tanzhou as a base camp cannot afford to lose, and the remnants of Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia, who retreated to Yongzhou, have always been the trouble of Tanwangfu and cannot be underestimated.

After receiving the exact news of Shen He's death, Han Qian was ordered to set off from Tanzhou and rush to Wuzhiling in the south of Shaozhou to meet Li Zhihe to help rectify the defense of the southern front, and strive to launch an offensive against the Yongzhou rebels after winter, so as to give an explanation to Jinling.

Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia led the remnants of more than 100,000 people to flee into Yongzhou.

Although Emperor Tianyou's ruthless suppression of the Tanzhou rebels made these two rebels have no choice but to become trapped beasts and resist stubbornly, although after these two rebels fled into Yongzhou, they also quickly and successfully controlled the two big cities of Yingyang and Lingling, and their troops were stronger than Li Zhihe's troops, but due to the shortage of materials caused by so many men and horses eating and drinking Lazar, as well as the sharp contradictions with the local forces in Yongzhou, they were also unable to turn their heads and attack the Chu army stationed in Shaozhou and Hengzhou.

For the time being, the two sides can only continue the stalemate.

The southern part of Yongzhou is the whole state under the jurisdiction of Liu Yin, the king of the South China Sea, and according to the current information, a considerable number of generals and ministers in the Qingyuan army in the South China Sea are afraid of the strength of the Chu army, and strongly do not advocate rash action.

Although Liu Yin, the king of the South China Sea, had gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Guizhou, south of Quanzhou, there was no sign of contact with Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia's rebels, let alone sent men or materials to directly reinforce Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia.

After Han Qian and Li Zhihe met, he saw that the defense of Wuzhiling and Shishiling (located at the junction of Yongzhou and Hengzhou) had nothing to worry about, so he rushed to Wugang County, Shaozhou.

In addition to the eastern exit of the Xuefeng Mountain Post Road is located in Wugang County, Han Qian needs to borrow the road from Wugang County to return to Qianyang, and this time he was rewarded with 6,000 mu of grain fields, deducting the 3,000 mu of Longya City and the nearby 3,000 mu of land, there are also 3,000 mu of grain fields located at the exit of the Xuefeng Mountain Post Road in Wugang County.

This grange was originally the private property of Shaozhou Thorn Shi Luojia, and after the confiscation, it was Han Qian who asked the three princes to choose his reward there.

The farmers in the grange were naturally wrapped up by Luo Jiawei and fled into Yongzhou, and Han Qian came over this time to resettle the two hundred official slaves and maids who were given to his father and son.

On September 12, when Han Qian and his entourage rode into the territory of Wugang County, when they could see Wugang County at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain, they also saw a group of people and horses, about a dozen people, coming out of Wugang City and slowly rushing towards them.

Guo Qi'er, who was in charge of the scout's front road, galloped back with the two of them, and announced: "The Wugang County Commander, the county lieutenant and others went out of the city to greet the adults!" ”

Song Zenai, the commander of Wugang County, was an official directly sent by Jinling in mid-July, and he had no friendship with Han Qian, but Song Ze did not dare to slack off at all to Han Qian, the popular man next to the third prince; And the new lieutenant of Wugang County is Han Chengmeng, the eldest son of Han Daoxun and Han Qian's cousin.

In the eight prefectures under the jurisdiction of Hunan Xingtai, except for the officials of the two prefectures of Chenxu basically remained unchanged, except for Yongzhou, which was still under the control of the rebels, the other five prefectures and forty counties, in more than two months, a total of 300 high-quality officials were filled.

In Wugang County, Han Chengmeng, as the county lieutenant, was not only responsible for assisting the county commander Song Ze in arresting robbers and bandits and maintaining the county's security and security, but also responsible for training and commanding a county soldier of 500 people.
