When the battle under the city of Yangzhou was finally decided, Zhu Youlang's Northern Expeditionary Army was advancing vigorously, and at the end of March, a battalion of new troops arrived at the city of Kunming. The gates of the city were opened, and there was not a man on the head of the city.

"Second company, go up and touch the city gate building."

"Yes!" Zhao Gongfan stood up and saluted, coordinated for a short time, and after assigning tasks, the entire company touched a section of the city wall. The New Army warriors, armed with swords, stabbed everywhere, but did not find a single piece that resembled meat.

After surveying the entire section of the city wall, Zhao Jingfan asked each platoon to arrange sentry posts. The whole company was ordered to close the team.

"Report sir, there is no one in the city gate building!"

Subsequently, this new military battalion, which served as the vanguard, carefully touched the key points in the city, and sent heralds to attract a second battalion--- in the plan of the division staff, and it was enough to garrison two battalions and the division headquarters in Kunming.

Seeing the familiar banner of the Ming army, the people put on incense tables with crying voices to welcome the Ming army entering the city.

After entering the yamen of the former governor of Yunnan and briefly cleaning up the markers related to "I am the Qing Dynasty", Gao Wengui met with the representatives of the gentry who had been waiting for a long time here. After giving the gift slip to Chang Kaishen, a logistical staff officer, they were introduced by a tall soldier to the yamen, the governor of Yunnan, who had changed hands several times.

"Last time, Your Majesty hunted in the south, and he couldn't bear the hunger of the people, leaving behind a large amount of food, and the students and others were unforgettable!" A middle-aged man wearing a melon skin hat knelt down, and the others also kowtowed.

Gao Wengui saw that this painting style was wrong, and it was obviously a "good thing" done by Long Live Lord (this move directly caused the Qing army to have enough food to chase after him, and it led to a chain reaction in history, such as Mopan Mountain, Yongli abandoning the country, and the difficulty of cursing water), how did I thank me? Without knowing what to do, Gao Wengui decided to go back first: "What are you doing here?" If you want to worship, you should also worship Your Majesty, I am just Your Majesty's pawn. ”

After speaking, Gao Wengui himself knelt down and kowtowed to the south.

After completing this set of rituals, Gao Wengui directly asked about the food situation in the city (he didn't expect the Tartars to be as kind as the Long Live Lord): "Didn't the Tartars burn the grain when they were far away?" ”

At the mention of the Tartars, several older gentry burst into tears, "The East Captives are really leading beasts to eat people!" After the last battle of Mopan Mountain, there were only a few thousand people in the city, and when they saw the recovery of the king, they thought they were lost, so they slashed and killed in the city, and they specially picked the lifeblood of each family, and the boys cut it! If I hadn't heard that Master Wang was about to arrive, this Kunming City would have to be dressed in white! Even if there is a thick wall in my house, I have injured a few distant nephews. ”

Gao Wengui immediately said that he could use a military doctor to help treat him: "There are military doctors under the army, and other people who see a doctor are normal, but the cure with knives and guns is not bad, if you don't dislike it, you can send it for diagnosis and treatment." ”

"Where do you dare to dislike it? The grass people are here to thank the lord for those two nephews! When the gentry heard that Gao Wengui was willing to save people, he kowtowed even more.

"Ahem!" Gao Wengui coughed a few times, suddenly remembered something, interrupted the conversation with the gentry, and said that he would "talk about it in seven days", of course, the food on the gift list of each family is enough to eat for half a month according to the standards of the old army, even if it is the new army, it can eat for almost ten days, and it has nothing to do with them for a while.

Neither Zhu Youlang, Yang Zai, nor Gao Wengui expected that the Northern Expeditionary Army would be able to march so quickly, and according to the operational plan of the General Staff, part of the divisional staff combined with some gentry to form the "Military Administration Hall". As a governing body for temporarily maintaining social order, the Military Administration can barely drag the mess to the officials sent from the south.

……

In the lake water dug out by hand next to Dianchi Lake, there is a small island in the middle of the lake where various flowers and trees are planted. The island is connected to the outside by only a rowing boat, and the beautifully decorated villas by the lake are the property of Mo's, a large family in the city. The nearest shore is also twenty or thirty paces away, and if you speak in a normal voice, there is no possibility of leaking secrets.

"I heard that since the emperor fought in the south, because the cultural context was cut off, I listened to the bewitchment of those martial artists, and I didn't want to see us anymore. This is even more true of those warriors, since the two wars destroyed Burma, it is said that the original Burma territory has been changed to the territory of those people. ”

The Mo family's voice was particularly harsh. This garden was originally also the belonging of a side branch of King Mu's Mansion, and during the Chongzhen period, this family fell, and this garden was put out; The man, who was still a teenager at the time, remembered how his father had obtained a garden from the family at a very low price. During the Hongguang period, his father died, he was in charge of the whole family, and after defeating several side lines, he walked on thin ice in Shadingzhou, Sun Kewang, and Yongli (Li Dingguo), and he was able to keep this family business.

Now, Yongli is making a comeback again, and in the face of another round of reshuffle of power in Kunming (and even the whole of Yunnan), it's time to do something! His own family used to be a jinshi, and the children of business also had some shops in Yunnan Fucheng. According to comprehensive information sources, after Yongli went to Myanmar, there has been a lot of change in domestic policy.

"After Dongyu came here, he circled our land I don't know how much, who didn't have a few Zhuangzi circled? But I heard that those who came from the south also enclosed the land. ”

Of course, this gentleman naturally won't say how much "ownerless" land his family occupies--- thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates, which one should not borrow grain? After the donkey rolled a few times, the land of the yeoman farmer continued to gather into his hands.

However, the people who can sit here are all famous people in the vicinity of Kunming, and who has not done this kind of thing?

Land is their lifeblood.

"However, looking at the past few days, no one in the yamen has said anything about the land."

As soon as these words came out, several old ladies who were better than monkeys and had a Vesuvius expression on their faces slowly opened their mouths.

"Where does Wufu know anything about civil affairs?"

"Da Ming still has a king's law."

"If you really want to do something, you will also send officials from the south."

While retorting, several people began to think about the family's land--- the principal sent by him was so short-sighted and stupid as a pig, maybe he could give someone a set, and then everyone divided his land together?

This kind of history has happened countless times in the past in thousands of years in China, and it will continue to happen in the future.

"Cough, cough" The host coughed twice, as if he saw the thoughts of these families, and brought the topic back to the topic, "This is the time for the return of the king and the waste to be revived. ”

The words are nice, and the inner meaning is nothing more than to influence the policies and guidelines of the Yunnan Prefecture and even the Yunnan political envoys and yamen as much as possible, and try to ensure that their existing interests are not infringed upon.

Everyone nodded in agreement, but no one spoke again. In the face of the former Qing army's bravado, and having seen with his own eyes the strict appearance of the new army when it entered the city, he knew at a glance that it was by no means an ordinary person: in these years, which family does not have a soil enclosure and does not have a team of 100 people? The coaches of these families also taught some gun and stick skills, and there was no queue training, so in front of the official army (whether it was the Ming army or the Qing army), they were as weak as a layer of paper, and they could only guard on the earthen fence.

However, these officers and soldiers who entered the city were all so rich that it was useless to stuff money into them--- not even to wear torn clothes! Everyone still has shoes on their feet to wear (the consumption of soles is very fast, and most people don't wear shoes except straw sandals at this time), and the fast guns are fired very quickly, and when the sword is practiced, it seems that the whole scene is a replica of a mold! If the table is directly lifted in the yamen, these forces can only frighten the tenants with dung forks and hoes, and what is the ability to resist?
