Changsha is the source of Chu civilization and Hunan Chu culture, since ancient times is a famous historical and cultural city in China, there have been many historical celebrities in history, leaving many historical and cultural relics, and it is also the only big city that has not changed the site of the city in China's thousands of years of historical changes. << VIII{1〔〈(<{中(文网 ).

After Mo Li led the new Liao army into Changsha City, he quickly controlled the situation in the city, posted a notice and a recruitment list to restore the order of the people's livelihood.

Because Zhang Xianzhong's rebels entrenched in Changsha City for more than a month, and wantonly plundered the people, causing countless people to mourn and sing, and many people were separated and their families were ruined. This month or so has been a nightmare day in the hearts of the people of Changsha City.

After the new Liao army entered the city, all the officers and men strictly implemented the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, and it can really be said that there is no offense in the autumn to the people, and the strict military discipline makes the people of Changsha refreshed and praised.

Therefore, when the new Liao army posted the recruitment list, the people of Changsha enthusiastically came to join, some in politics, some in the army, for a while, the crowd at the gate of the temporary station of the new Liao army in Changsha City came to defect, very lively.

When he first entered Changsha City, Luo Dashan and other generals controlled Zhang Xianzhong's occupation of the Jiwang Mansion, and at that time Luo Dashan also proposed that Mo Li live in the Jiwang Mansion, because the Jiwang Mansion was spacious and magnificent.

Mo Li scolded Luo Dashan on the spot, saying that what is the difference between you and the rebels, and scolded Luo Dashan for being bloody, and pleaded guilty again and again.

Dongfang Jin, Chen Yan, 6 Chentao and others listened to it, and couldn't help but secretly praise Mo Li's sober mind and not being out of proportion.

Indeed, King Ji's Mansion is the residence of the King of the Ming Dynasty, although now the King of Ji is gone, but Mo Li is now the Governor of Huguang of the Ming Dynasty, so he is still an official of the Ming Dynasty, how can an official live in the mansion of the King of the Domain? Isn't this a great sin of treason!

You know, Mo Li is still carrying a banner now.

Besides, now that I have just entered the city, there are still many places in the city that have safety risks, and it is not suitable to live in other places.

In the end, that night, Mo Li stayed in the big tent, the temporary garrison of the new Liao army in the city.

The next day, Guan Feng sent someone to sort out the Changsha prefect's yamen, and after confirming that it was safe, he asked Mo Li to enter the prefect's yamen.

As the governor of Huguang, it is quite appropriate for Mo Li to live in the yamen of the Changsha prefect, and now that the Changsha prefect, the deputy envoy for the punishment and the procurator, the political envoy for the sub-guard of the Senate, and the Changsha general army are all vacant, Mo Li also urgently needs to live in the yamen to build Changsha's military and political system as soon as possible.

Cao Bianjiao did not catch up with Zhang Xianzhong that day, allowing him to escape. In addition to Zhang Xianzhong, who led about 10,000 people to escape, the rest of the tens of thousands of people were either killed or surrendered, and all of them were dealt with by the New Liao Army according to the severity of their crimes.

Those who committed serious crimes were to have their homes confiscated and beheaded for public disappearance, and those who committed minor crimes were transferred to farms and underwent labor reform.

There were also some people who were coerced by Zhang Xianzhong, most of whom were released to go home to continue ploughing the fields, and many of them volunteered to join the New Liao Army.

Due to the strict military discipline of the New Liao Army, Mo Li's reputation among the people is also very high, and the people of Changsha affectionately call it the Mojia Army, and many young people in Changsha enthusiastically participate in the New Liao Army and become one of them.

In just five days, the New Liao Army recruited more than 50,000 recruits. Many of these people were former Ming officers and soldiers, and many were former rebel soldiers, and they had more or less undergone some basic training, so long as they were trained more in the training methods of the New Liao Army, and then pulled to the battlefield to sharpen a few times, it would not be difficult to become a strong force in the future.

In the past few days, Moli sent Cao Bianjiao to lead 30,000 horses to the north and attack Xiangyin County together with Zhou Yuji. Xiangyin can be regarded as the northern gateway of Changsha, and if you capture Xiangyin, you can block the 70,000 rebels under the rebel army of Wang Tuo Xianling, who is entrenched in Yuezhou, and prevent it from going south to attack Changsha.

Tu Yongzhong since Xiao Lianhao's tens of thousands of horses in Yiyang by the new Liao army wiped out, the strength of the great drop, Zhang Xianzhong is still in Changsha, can also echo with Zhang Xianzhong's department, now Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by the official army, only the remnants fled to Jiangxi Yuanzhou and other places, Tu Yongzhong is even more difficult to support the defense line of Xiangyin.

As soon as Cao Bianjiao and Zhou Yuji's tens of thousands of troops arrived, they easily captured Xiangyin County, because Tu Yongzhong knew that it was difficult to resist the new Liao army, and when he saw the arrival of the new Liao army, he immediately made a decision and led the troops to retreat to Yuezhou to join the Tuo Xianling Department.

After capturing Xiangyin, Mo ordered Zhou Yuji to lead 20,000 troops to garrison Xiangyin, while Cao Bianjiao led his troops south to recover Liuyang County.

Liuyang is just a small county town, and Zhang Xianzhong did not stay in Liuyang at all, so Cao Bianjiao also took over Liuyang City without hindrance, stationed 20,000 soldiers, and trained new soldiers while restoring order, preparing to enter Jiangxi and pursue the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong.

On the other hand, Moli ordered Ma Jinzhong to lead 30,000 troops to the south with Li Guo to recover Xiangtan, Zhuzhou and other places, and the rebel Hu Jianqing and others learned that Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, and they also fled, and some fled east from Zhuzhou to Pingxiang and Yuanzhou. Hu Jianqing fled south from Zhuzhou to Hengyang, Youxian and other places with the remnants.

From Hengyang to the east, through Chaling, Youxian and other counties, you can enter the territory of Jiangxi and merge with the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong and other rebels. To the south are Chenzhou and Yongzhou, which are densely forested and difficult for the rebels to wipe out once they penetrate deep into the mountains and old forests.

For this reason, Moli stationed Li Guo in Xiangtan, and Ma Jinzhong stationed in Zhuzhou to defend Changsha. At the same time, after ordering the two to stabilize the local situation, they waited for an opportunity to pursue the remnants of the rebels.

In the past few days, various units of the New Liao Army have recruited a large number of new soldiers in the Changsha area and restored the administrative management system.

After the capture of Changsha, everything was complicated, and Mo Li was busy every day, but fortunately, Dongfang Jin, Chen Yan, 6 Chentao and Liang Junchang and others helped deal with various affairs, and gradually built up the administrative structure of Changsha City.

On this day, Mo Li was on official business at the prefect's yamen, and the newly appointed governor of Changsha, Zhou Yuanfeng, came to ask for instructions on what to do with the property of the Jiwang Mansion and the wives and concubines of Zhang Xianzhong, who were temporarily imprisoned there.

Mo Li stretched his waist, he has been busy for so many days, and today he can finally relax a little, okay, then go and see the situation of King Ji's mansion, let's talk about it, I have been in this feudal era for so long, and I haven't seen what the palace is like.

So, accompanied by the chief housekeeper Liang Junchang and Xi's staff Dongfang Jin, Mo Li came to the extremely extensive Jiwang Mansion.

Jiwangfu is located in the downtown of Changsha, looking from afar, the eaves and arches, the heavy buildings are stacked, just the vermilion lacquer gate that can accommodate two carriages to enter and exit side by side is enough to make people marvel at the momentum of Jiwangfu, magnificent, even compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing, it is not necessarily much inferior.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is full of famine, and the people are not living well, such a luxurious and terrifying palace stands here, and Mo Li suddenly remembered those two poems: Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Step into the main gate of the palace that is as high as one zhang and nine feet, and enter along the road that can accommodate four horses in the middle, and the center is the carrier hall, which is the main hall of the Ji Wangfu. After the carrier hall, the major halls are progressing layer by layer, and there is no end to the extravagance.

Mo Li looked around, looked at the majestic palace and sighed sincerely: "Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace has been made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer...... If there are a few less such palaces in the world, how can the Ming Dynasty stop at erosion. ”

"Your Excellency is right." Liang Junchang on the side didn't dare to answer these words, and while responding, he led Mo Li to walk inside. is still the same sentence, after all, Mo Li is still under the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

Dongfang Jin, who followed Mo Li, moved slightly, he had traveled for many years, he could be said to have rich experience, he looked at his face and color, and he was quite sophisticated in knowing people, Mo Li silently looked at this Ji Wangfu for a long time, although he didn't say too much, but from his eyes, Dongfang Jin faintly felt a trace of extraordinary meaning.

For this tall and majestic, solemn and majestic palace, Mo Li did not have much fear and respect in his eyes.

"Lao Liang, does King Ji have any descendants surviving?" Mo Li asked casually. After a few days of contact, Mo Li knew that Liang Junchang was an honest man, and now he was traveling to Jiwang's Mansion, so he was more casual in terms of addressing, and calling him Lao Liang was also very kind.

"Back to my lord, Changsha has been poisoned by the rebels for more than a month, many families have been destroyed, even the Jiwang Mansion has not been spared, and only one county lord has survived in the family of King Ji in Changsha City." Liang Junchang hurriedly bowed down and replied, Mo Li could be casual to him, he would never dare not be big or small: "The one who survived was the county lord of Xiangyun, who was young and had not yet left the cabinet, and after the thief entered Changsha, he forcibly accepted the county lord of Xiangyang as a concubine......"

"Huh? Was he taken captive as a concubine by Zhang Thief? Mo Li frowned and pondered for a moment, this matter is a bit difficult to handle.

"Yes, it is said that most of the other dozen or so children of King Ji were killed by the rebels, some committed suicide, and some disappeared, but this Xiangyun county lord survived, but the reason was that Zhang Thief fell in love with the beauty of the Xiangyun county lord and took her in the room."

"Oh." Mo Li replied noncommittally, thinking, no wonder it has been said since ancient times that a woman is too good-looking, sometimes it is a burden and brings disaster to herself.

Liang Junchang led Moli to the treasury of the Ji Wang's Mansion, where the countless gold, silver and jewels seized from the Ji Wang's Mansion were sealed.

The mountains of treasure made Mo Li almost dazzled. According to Liang Junchang's statistics, the value of these treasures was about 10 million taels of silver. Because there are many antique calligraphy and paintings looted by the rebels, and celebrity collections, the value of these works of art is difficult to estimate, and 10 million taels is just a conservative valuation.

Mo Li couldn't help but feel happy while being amazed, recruiting soldiers needs money, and fighting wars burns even more money, and now Huguang has been poisoned by the rebels, and there are more places to use money everywhere.

These treasures were all looted and hoarded by the traitor Zhang Xianzhong, although a large part of them must have come from King Ji's mansion, but King Ji is now missing, his family is ruined, and this wealth should naturally be confiscated.

Besides, even if it used to be the wealth of King Ji, he didn't know where to scavenge it, the most important thing is that now this wealth was seized by Moli from Zhang Xianzhong, and Moli is the governor of Huguang, so the right to dispose of it should naturally belong to Moli.

"Fill all these jewels and property into the treasury for relief and training to suppress bandits, and now the rebels still occupy Wuchang, Yuezhou and other places, and there are many places where money is needed." Mo Li commanded.

Liang Junchang nodded yes.

Now it is the warm spring of March, Changsha is located in the south, the climate is suitable, many precious bonsai flowers and trees are planted in the Jiwang Mansion, lush, the mountains and rivers are covered, the pavilions and pavilions are beautiful, such as the fairyland of the world, after the busy official business, it is indeed a rare enjoyment to walk in this landscape garden, but it is a pity that there are less beautiful smiles, otherwise it will be more perfect.

Unconsciously, Moli and others came to the east of the palace, which is where the concubines of the palace live, and the halls and courtyards are lined up one after another, with green curtains and red curtains fluttering. The winding path leads to the secluded place, and the arch corridor communicates with each other. Soldiers are strictly guarded outside the door, and it is strictly forbidden to enter or exit.

"My lord, the lord of Xiangyun lives in this hall." Liang Junchang said.

"Huh? You just said that the lord of Xiangyun County was born very beautifully? Mo Li paused slightly, and said, "Go in and report it, and say that the official has something to ask to see." ”
