Although for this result, some people said on the spot that it was impossible, or whether it would be that Zhou Huai'an was too dark at night, in fact, he misrecognized something; But with the seizure of the instruments and canes that had been escorted one after another, and the heads of carts and carts as proof, those who shouted the loudest or jumped the most mightily could not help but keep their mouths shut; Shameful and embarrassed, he hid in the crowd.

"Good monk, I'm finally right to look at you"

Wang Pan laughed with joy over his shoulders.

"You really have the ability, it's faster than me."

"What's going on?"

"It's just a little bit of work and preparation on a daily basis."

Zhou Huaian smiled and said to himself

"But I didn't want it to come in handy."

A moment later, at the temporary military meeting, after listening to Zhou Huai'an's selective description.

"Look, look. Which"

Wang Pan said loudly to the left and right of all kinds of complicated expressions and reactions.

"On weekdays, you are always told to follow the rules and regulations."

"But I always talk to me about trouble and burdensomeness,"

"As a result, when things come to an end, there will inevitably be mistakes and baskets."

"If it weren't for the monk who brought the back camp to plug the leak, I'm afraid that this hard work would have come to naught."

"Tell me how to reward the monk brothers."

As a result, Zhou Huai'an was somewhat unexpectedly given a temporary appointment and new powers, that is, the daily duty of each sub-battalion and the implementation of military orders, and the responsibility of daily inspection and correction; There is an expedient deal with the fire commander and below on the spot, and the team can be detained and treated.

Although this is an errand that inevitably offends people in private, there are also some considerations and plans of Wang Pan; But for Zhou Huai'an, who is far from here, it doesn't matter; On the contrary, it can also facilitate his next actions and preparations.

Although there were twists and turns and losses in the process, in any case, this Chaoyang City had completely fallen into the hands of the rebels. Along with the whole process, there is probably also this coastal area in Chaoyang County and even several states, and the last formed armed force has been wiped out.

At the beginning, in addition to the local wealthy people, there were hundreds of official eunuchs, large households, wealthy gentry, ship merchants, and heads of lines; Gathered in this Chaoyang City, they all fled from all directions. Now, together with their soft wealth and relatives and slaves, there are probably thousands of people, all of whom have been blocked in this tooth city by the rebels, which is quite a huge gain.

Although they seemed to be tragic, in an atmosphere of despair and desolation, they took on the posture of scattering their wealth, and planned to recruit new men to do the stubborn thing in the corner; But the local inhabitants of the city are not all fools, and after the destruction of the orthodox official army and the gathered earth regiments, no one is willing to be the first bird of this mantis arm as a car;

On the contrary, some people began to speculate out of the city, in the name of preserving the Li Shu who was coerced in the city, and conducted private contacts and negotiations with the rebels, hoping to seek some follow-up benefits and capital for themselves in the situation after the rebels entered the city.

As a result, after the last bit of domestic slaves and the meager armed resistance of the temporary patchwork of the nursing home were scattered, these groups that were disguised from the inside out were all gone, and in the despair and powerlessness of the sky falling, they were completely captured by the rebels.

In the later rough identification, it was found that there were many big fish with hidden identities, such as the local salt and iron judge and the court patrol envoy, as well as a newly appointed "Chaozhou Thorn History" who crossed the sea from Fujian, and the official subordinates and confession documents he brought. As for other figures with titles such as Sima, Changshi, Bei Driver, Master Book, Joining the Army, and even county commanders, county lieutenants, and county officials, there are as many as 20 people.

There are also dozens of other leading figures with eunuch or Zhishi backgrounds. It looks like the previous stage of the township clean-up operation, which in disguised has driven and forced the nearby states and counties to have a certain weight, as well as the existence of relations and origins with the government, to gather here; However, the next step of the rebel army's clean-up work in the place saved a lot of energy.

However, when the heads and prisoners were counted afterwards, it was found that a few people had escaped or disappeared, such as an officer and army general who should have appeared among the captives, and several people, including a capital head, etc.; On the wall in the north of the city, several ropes were also found that fell straight under the city, as well as two bodies that fell to death and were abandoned; It seems that at the same time as a major breakthrough in the city, there were other people who fled from here overnight, and some ran straight into the mountains and forests towards the north.

However, the rebels have no desire to continue their pursuit, after all, in these mountains and forests, they are still the home of all kinds of poisonous insects and plagues, as well as all kinds of local people. For the time being, the rebels have no intention of making contact or clashing with them.

The identities of these officers and soldiers who appeared on the coast of Lingdong in the city have also been further confirmed;

They arise from the situation, which can be said to be the result of many inconsistencies, full of the probability of some kind of coincidence; Because among them, there were not only the pioneers of the rebuilt Quanzhou Army and the Zhangzhou Army who crossed the sea from Fujian in the north, but also the crusaders from the Guiguan Economic Strategy Envoy in the west, and the border guards under the leadership of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate/Jinghai Jiedu Envoy;

It can be said that after the advance scouts sent by several parties landed on the coast one after another, and were echoed by the local groups of local soil regiments and village soldiers, they easily overthrew and destroyed the already extensive and disorderly occupation of the rebel army on the local surface. It was only later that there were inevitably some uneven fat distribution and contradictions in the local area, so they divided their troops and did several ways to "pass through the thief atmosphere" and "recover the lost land".

Among them, the largest force is the Zhangquan coalition army from Fujian, which has more than 2,000 fully armored infantry and horses; Later, he successively received some support and supplements from Cui Xuan, the observation envoy from eastern Zhejiang, from the sea, and also sent corresponding follow-up officials and subordinates to maintain the situation of recovering the ground. Therefore, in the later development, it occupied almost half of the dominant situation among these officers and soldiers; As a result, it occupies the most territory and confers the most official positions.

Among them, the most elite and good at fighting are the border guards under the command of Zeng Gon, the envoy of the Protectorate of Annam in the west; Although there were only more than 800 people led by a tooth general, they were completely unable to resist the rebel troops who were several times or even more than ten times the number of the rebels stationed in the local siege and uprooted villages.

The second is the 1,000 soldiers sent by Li Zhan, the envoy of Guiguan Jinglu, most of whom are soldiers and native soldiers from the local prefecture, although they are more than brave but cruel and murderous, and the military discipline is also the most corrupt; As a result, many conflicts soon arose with the local government, and after several internal strife, they fled and dispersed, and finally became a vassal of the Annam soldiers. Therefore, among the three main forces of the official army, I will accompany the last seat.

However, compared to the Lingdong area, which is located in the plain area of the Pearl River Delta and is relatively densely populated; Although there are more than 30 prefectures under the name of Lingxi Zhuguan, there are many mountains, few lands, relatively barren and many sparse hukou; In addition, the intricacies of the barbarism contain a large part of the force; Therefore, they did not have enough spare strength to organize more troops and support to come, but ordered them to take their own money and food on the spot.

Therefore, although they were ordered to disrupt the rear of the rebel army, they lacked follow-up support and supplementation, and were basically in the dilemma of dying one less and one less; Therefore, in order to compete for interests with the Fujian military horses, they could only use the remnants of the local army and the elite recruited from the local regiments to make up the numbers, and they divided their troops to seize the cities in several places, and the specific combat effectiveness also declined significantly.

It's just that to Zhou Huai'an's surprise, he seems to have fought with him twice unintentionally; The first time was actually in the offensive and defensive battle of Changle County, and the officers and soldiers who captured the gatehouse by night attack and were beaten back by themselves were one of them;

Then, in the battle of attacking the camp that could not be won by fraud the night before, the cavalry and infantry in charge of the vanguard were composed of the only remaining more than 300 Annam soldiers in the city, more than 100 Guizhou (now Guilin) raiders, and a number of personal guards; Therefore, the fight is full of resilience and sophistication, and there is also some courage to go forward and succeed.

After all, according to his understanding of this era, these border guards of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, often called "Long March athletes", are the earliest group of professional soldiers in the military system of the Tang Dynasty, and their service period is often much longer than that of other officers and soldiers; In particular, the Protectorate of Annam, where they were located, was at the forefront of high-frequency military conflicts against the barbarians and against the Nanzhao all year round.

Therefore, even among the people from all walks of life in the world where the imperial court is weak and full of disputes, it can be regarded as a very advanced existence. You must know that the source of the Pang Xun Rebellion, which disturbed most of the world, was a group of Guizhou soldiers who had overserved and wanted to return to their hometown in Xuzhou on their own.

If it weren't for the men and horses of the rear battalion being mobilized by him in advance, the bonus of defensive counterattack would be carried out according to the well-prepared fortifications; I am afraid that in the face of these enemies who have come from the camp in the south of the city and are fighting to the death, they will also be a little mysterious and sad; The least proportion of casualties has to be counter-wounded.

However, for Zhou Huai'an, whether it is these Fujian soldiers and horses, or Annan soldiers, these events do not seem to be in the historical records that he knows; Is it because the scale is too small, the impact is too limited, or the relative geographical isolation of the Lingnan region is submerged in the long river of history and is unknown? Or is it because of his own appearance, there have been subtle changes in the line of historical events here.

Of course, this is not without potential opportunities and benefits, at least he has at least more than 300 prisoners in his rear camp. If you can absorb the upper part in the subsequent ideological transformation and labor; Even if it can't be used directly, but as a ready-made teaching and guidance, it is still beneficial to improve the combat effectiveness and organization of this team.

After all, as far as Zhou Huai'an knew, in the process of transferring to war, there were actually many examples of the peasant army under Huang Chao directly absorbing and absorbing those defeated officers and soldiers, but most of them were mainly middle and lower-level officers and soldiers; Although this brings many potential hidden dangers and instability, such as the escape and anti-water time after the battle; However, it has also increased the degree of regularization and organization of the army under his command in disguise.

For Zhou Huai'an, the vision and lessons from later generations are enough for him to have all kinds of means to make people surrender and methods to cut off the way back, to slowly concoct and transform, adjust/teach these captives.

In the following time, three teams, including the investigation team, the census team, and the task force, were dispatched to cooperate with the various divisions of the rebel army that controlled the key points in the city, and to deal with the reactionary forces of the old regime and their henchmen. lackeys, carrying out a series of routine processes of liquidation, torture and public trial;

Although there are also such anachronistic voices in this process, such as a new gang leader named Li Yuyuan, who offered to slaughter the city or wash the streets, to vent well; But soon these leaders who knew the taste of the marrow at the beginning, with caring eyes for the mentally handicapped and expressions of "you don't want to be ashamed, I still want to be faced", were sent to the labor brigade to guard the reformers.

As a result, trials and executions were carried out in batches and in batches almost every day; Goods and supplies were also shipped out of the mansion compound and gathered in the garrison of the rebels. Every day, a large number of people in the city are mobilized, either voluntarily or not-so-voluntarily.

Tempted and driven by the distribution of supplies on the streets, they gathered around the designated venue; Then witness, expose and denounce these with their own eyes, which have always been hidden under the camouflage of sanctimony and the transcendent identity of the superior, all kinds of connivance and instruction of the minions, the common people, the remnants of the people, the official figures and the wealthy families are extremely accomplices.

However, after being busy with many affairs outside the city to clean up the mess, Zhou Huaian unexpectedly received a new task, or a disguised compensation and reward; It was to lead the rear battalion under his command, which was still in good condition, together with a little mobile force drawn from other sub-battalions, to form a partial division to go to the coast, so as to recover the remnants of the officers and soldiers who might stay at the seashore to meet them.
