After the Jinling Incident, the elite of the Chuzhou army crossed the river to the south, but the soldiers and horses were mainly gathered in a corner of the eastern foot of Baohua Mountain, and the battle of Jingshan Nunnery did not deviate from this area.

Not counting the two counties of Dantu and Danyang, to which Runzhou belongs, except for the 50,000 or 60,000 old and weak women and children who fled to the east and south in Taowu, Jiangcheng County has been the most affected at present, and almost 60,000 or 70,000 people have fled to Jinling City for refuge, especially in the eastern part of Jiangcheng County, where the villages are almost empty.

However, there has been no major disturbance in Pingling, Lishui, Yong'an, Wuhu, Dangtu and other counties in the south and southwest of Jinling, let alone the counties under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou in the south.

Maoshan is connected to the three counties of Danyang, Jintan and Liyang in Runzhou, and the three counties of Jiangcheng, Lishui and Pingling to which Jingzhao Mansion belongs to the west.

Jiang Cheng didn't say that there are more than 30,000 hectares of grain fields in Lishui and Pingling counties, and about seventy percent of them are Zhuangtian controlled by the family gate valve; Of the more than 200,000 people, almost seventy percent of them are slaves and maidservants controlled by the family or sharecroppers with slightly higher status than slaves and maids.

Since the Chishan Army protected nearly 50,000 women and children and withdrew from Maoshan, even if the Chishan Army still focused on propaganda in the early stage, mainly to attract slaves and maids to take the initiative to vote, the family gate valves in these two counties were also vigilant for the first time - from Shang Hu's personal experience, it can also be seen that the family gate lords are anxious and worried about the restlessness of slaves and maids, and at the same time strengthen the personal control and monitoring of slaves and maids.

Since the late period of the former dynasty, Jinling, as the embassy of Shengzhou Jiedu, has experienced not too many wars, but it is also deeply troubled by bandits.

Lishui and Pingling counties have basically built quite strong walled forts over the years, and the tradition of requisitioning slaves and maids to guard the village has also been formed, so this is also destined to the Chishan Army to really officially go out of Maoshan for large-scale grain conscription, and it will not be smooth sailing.

At present, Zhao Zhen, the envoy of the Chuzhou army, not to mention the three cities of Danyang, Jintan, and Liyang, also led 3,000 elite cavalry to cruise and move on the eastern flank of Maoshan Mountain.

Although the Chishan Army has also obtained 14,500 war horses from Danyang City, the problem is that there is no cavalry training for half a year or more, and even if the newly formed cavalry generals of the Chishan Army can barely ride horses, it is completely impossible for them to be qualified to compete with the elite cavalry of Chuzhou in the flat field.

In order to prevent the elite cavalry of the Chuzhou army from suddenly going around to the west flank of Maoshan to intercept it, Han Qian planned that Zhao Wuji, Feng Xuan, Dou Rong and others would take turns to lead their troops, and the range of activities would be limited to 30 miles away from the main peak at the eastern foothills.

At the same time, it is necessary to set up beacon fire points and lookout posts at high points such as Maofeng Peak, Lei Ping Peak, Qingjin Peak, and Canglongbei, so as to ensure that the activities of the Chuzhou army on the eastern flank of Maoshan can be detected in a timely manner, and once it is found that its elite cavalry has signs of circling the western flank, the beacon fire point will be lit with wolf smoke, and they will be notified that the soldiers and horses that have entered the western flank area will be withdrawn in time or that troops will be dispatched from the north and south flanks to intercept and entangle.

Of course, the elite three battalions currently led by Zhao Wuji, Feng Xuan, and Dou Rong have 800 generals in each battalion, mainly because of the temporary lack of middle and high-level military attachés, and they are overstaffed in numbers.

At a closer distance, the women's battalion led by Kong Xirong and the juvenile battalion led by Wei Chang had to arrange for auxiliary transportation of personnel and the placement of personnel.

Han Qian also demanded that Lin Haizheng, headed by Lin Haizheng, supervise the battalions before each sortie must do a good job of reconnaissance and prediction of the enemy's situation, as well as make a specific and detailed action plan.

In the first few action plans, Han Qian will personally participate in the formulation of the action plan, in order to reduce omissions and standardize the relevant operations.

Even though Yao Xishui has not had the opportunity to have in-depth contact with the battalion over the years, he is also familiar with many military books, and knows what it is like to be the commander of the army when the battalion is in charge, and secretly feels that Lin Haizheng, Zhao Wuji, Feng Xuan and others are the descendants of Han Qian who have been cultivated over the years, and they are rough in pen and ink, so they may be able to manage the army so tirelessly according to Han Qian's requirements.

At present, the Chishan Army can only pull out more than 3,000 soldiers and horses to fight, and it is only composed of three battalions, and Han Qian also has a lot of energy to take care of it.

However, the Chishan Army has really completed the establishment of the five capitals and 25 battalions of the First Army, and Han Qian's army still needs to be so cumbersome to manage the army, is it okay?

In Yao Xishui's opinion, maybe Han Qian is more suitable to be a military advisor who has to worry about everything, and embarrass him as a general, right?

In this world where martial arts are in charge, this is somewhat of a gratifying thing for Yao Xishui.

Otherwise, Han Qian's scheming is so deep and unguardable, if he is a natural commander of the army, how terrifying would it be?

Hearing Han Qian and the generals discuss the formal arrangements for requisition of grain and slaves the next day, Yao Xishui was a little bored in his heart, and said: "Just these things, I think Master Hou will be willing to cooperate with you." ”

"Hou Ye Li has scolded me so much in the past two days, I don't believe he can turn the corner so quickly," Han Qian glanced at Yao Xishui and said indifferently, "If he is really willing to cooperate, Miss Yao, you asked Hou Ye Li to come to me in person." ”

Yao Xishui secretly hated in his heart, didn't Han Qian ask Li Pu to bow his head with him, how could Li Pu be willing to bow his head easily?

However, she thought in her heart that the cavalry guards of the County King's Mansion were stationed in Xiaomaofeng in the west, and when the time came, they would just go to find the target by themselves, so why should they be at the mercy of Han Qian?

Seeing that Yao Xishui was silent and didn't argue anything for Li Pu, Han Qian just glanced at her and didn't say anything more, so he asked Lin Haizheng and Zhao Wuji to prepare according to the proposed plan, and asked Yao Xishui again: "Miss Yao is here on behalf of the concubine, but if you want to stay here, you have to return to Lishui City?" ”

There was a painting boat parked in Lishui City in the evening Red Mansion, Yao Xishui believed that he couldn't hide it from Han Qian's ears and eyes, so he didn't feel any fuss about Han Qian's words, and said: "It's rare to get along with my father-in-law, as long as Lord Han doesn't drive me away, I will stay in the mountains for two more days." ”

"Miss Yao knows in her heart that the current situation is sinister, and if she makes a bad move, she will be ruined." Han Qian was noncommittal about Yao Xishui's decision to stay in the mountains, but warned her not to be full of thoughts of conspiring with Li Pu to drag him back.

"Cherish water is not such a person who knows how to lift." Yao Xishui said.

Han Qian nodded, watching Zhang Ping and Yao Xishui retreat first, he walked to the front of the porch and looked at the white clouds in the mountains.

The fierce reaction of the family gate valve did not surprise him, and if there was any rich grain in the place, it was also controlled by the family gate valve and hidden in the granary of the strong family fort of the family gate.

Under such circumstances, since it was guaranteed that enough grain and other necessary materials could be collected, and the personal control of the slaves and maids by the family gate lords was to be lifted, the only way to force the family forts of these family gate lords was to blast open and smash open the family forts of these family gate lords, and suppress all the resistance and bloodshed.

War is always bloody, and there is no warmth with affection.

However, this time he completely stood on the opposite side of the family's gate valve.

In the eyes of the family's gate valve, he will be a big thief and a big thief.

Han Qian had been mentally prepared for this for a long time, but it was not easy to ensure that he could smash the gate of the family as quickly as possible and help him open the gate of the family as much as possible, and to ensure that the casualties did not get out of control.

It is necessary to do extremely tedious and meticulous work before and after the event.

Under the covetousness of the elite cavalry of the Chuzhou army, it is impossible to calmly build siege weapons to attack after surrounding the walled city, but a strong walled city defended by two or three hundred people, if you don't want to suffer heavy casualties to the point of getting out of control, how can it be stormed in a day or even as short as half a day?

Therefore, in a short period of time, they will select the most severe and brutal family gate valve to exploit slaves and maids as the target.

Since the Jinling Incident, not a single grain of grain from Jiangdong Prefectures has been transported into Jinling City, and the grain and other materials needed by Jinling City have mainly relied on the import of surrounding counties for several months in a row.

At this time, the price of grain in Jinling had only risen to 20 yuan per stone, which was not very terrifying, but for ordinary civilians, the previous spring famine had already been extremely hard.

The family gate lord still has food in his hands, but seeing that the Chuzhou army is strong, he doesn't know how long the war will drag, even if he doesn't have the intention of hoarding Juqi, he will control the supply of rations to slaves and maids more harshly.

The war has not spread, but the contradictions between the family lords in Pingling, Liyang and other counties and the slaves and maids at the bottom and the poor have been tense for several months.

Especially those family gatekeepers who usually exploit slaves and servants, and tenant farmers are the most severe, and the internal contradictions are actually on the verge of breaking out.

Of course, if there is no fuse, no one to guide and organize, under the threat of war and two strong armies, except for a few bloody violent people who will resist sporadically or flee but it is difficult to succeed, most of the slaves and maids will still meekly submit to the slavery of the master's family, so that in the end, like docile sheep, they are all driven into Jinling City.

Xinchang Hou Li Pu, Li Xiu, Li Zhen and others, standing in their position, the Xin clan will naturally regard those slaves and maids who dare to run away or even dare to directly pick up swords and soldiers to resist the master's family as rebellious ministers and lowly people, and it is difficult to deeply understand that the most essential and fundamental contradiction within the family gate valve is the most powerful weapon to resolve the current crisis.

And Han Qian wanted to do this fuse, not only to encourage the slaves and maids in Liyang and Pingling counties to tear up and burn their wedges, drag their families and their mouths to retreat to Maoshan with them, but also send people to Wuhu, Dangtu, Yong'an and other counties where they were temporarily beyond their reach to stir up wind and waves, catalyze the contradictions between the low-level slaves and maids and the clan of the gate lords, and guide them to resist the family gate valves, smash open the granary, steal grain and other materials and flee to Maoshan.

Of course, Han Qian now also has to realize that there is no turning back for him in the future, even if he sometimes has to compromise and not back down, it must be temporary, otherwise he may be abandoned by the forces that support him at this time......
