The time entered the end of November, and it had been more than half a month since Runing had changed, and the city was not only not depressed because of the occupation of thieves, but was still lively and prosperous.

Early in the morning, in front of a small square table outside the city gate, many men from outside the city lined up in a long line.

Wu Shizhao led a few officers to stand aside, a man walked out of the queue, two soldiers touched him, he looked quite sturdy, so he pointed to a row of weapons, and asked, "What will you do?"

"I can use a nail rake, grab water from the next village, and fight!" The man said a little nervously.

Wu Shizhao smiled and said to the soldier: "Let him lift the stone mill, if he can lift it, he will accept it."

The man hurriedly squatted down, picked up a stone mill, and moved to the designated position according to the instructions of the soldier.

"Come and register!" Wu Shizhao saw it, so he smiled and beckoned.

After the man hugged his name and the situation in his family, the scribe finished registering, asked him to press his handprint, and then handed him two wooden rafts, and instructed: "These two signs, one is your military card, with your name on it, you can report on him when he enters the camp in three days, and the other you hand over to your family, you can divide ten acres of land."

"Understood?" The scribe raised his head and looked at the man, asked, and after seeing the man nodding excitedly, he let go of the wooden card and fell into the man's hand.

"Next!" The soldier next to him saw that he had recruited one, so he immediately called the people behind him loudly, pointed to a row of weapons again, and asked, "What will it be?"

At this time, on the streets of the city, several high-ranking soldiers wrapped in black scarves suddenly separated from the bustling crowd, came to the city gate, and pasted a notice on the notice board next to the street.

This sign is located at the city gate, and everyone who enters and exits the city gate can see it, so that the government can issue orders and want criminals.

Seeing that a new notice was posted, the nearby crowd immediately gathered around to see what General Gao had announced.

In the past half a month, notices have been posted almost every day, and the most shocking thing for the people is undoubtedly the abolition of the three salaries and the collection of the land of the clan for the people to cultivate.

At this time, literate people began to read while reading: "Recruitment order." Today, the decision is undecided, Zhongzhou is in chaos, and bandits are rising. The reader's face twitched for a moment, and then he continued, "The people are displaced, and I want to keep the peace of Runan, but my own strength is very small, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue. Therefore, I specially ordered to recruit talents, all talented people in the world can respond to the scene, and I will use them~"

After reading it, a literati spat on the ground and said disdainfully: "What kind of recruitment order is this, there is no literary talent at all~"

"It's good to be able to write like this, why don't you go to the curtain and be a staff member for General Gao?" The companion laughed.

"I don't do anything for thieves." The literati refused on the lips, but they were actually a little moved in their hearts.

Because of the war in Henan, Luoyang and Kaifeng fell one after another, the county was ruined, the imperial court no longer set up officials, and this year's township test was also canceled.

The people of the world hate the Liukou, mainly because the Liukou indiscriminately killed innocents, robbed people and property, and shouted loud slogans, but they only destroyed but did not build, and did not change the tragic situation of the people in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, nor did they solve the problems faced by the society.

Instead of freeing the people from the burden, they displaced them, lost their homes, and turned the world into turmoil.

After Gao Yihuan became the ruler of Runing, he acted differently from Li Zicheng, and began to try to solve the problems in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and has issued several notices in a row.

First of all, he divided the domain land to the people to solve the problem of the survival of the people, which won the hearts of the people, and secondly, he divided the domain land, not the land of the gentry, so it did not touch the interests of the gentry, and the gentry did not hate him.

In this way, the people of Runing supported him, the gentry did not hate him, and only the largest landlord in Runing, Chongwangfu, was the only one whose interests were damaged. King Chong has fallen into the hands of Gao Yihuan, and he doesn't dare to say anything if he has an opinion, so he can only secretly wipe his tears, so Runing is peaceful.

In Runing City, in a courtyard, several high-ranking soldiers outside, holding spears and waist poles, guarded the door straight, and inside the courtyard, Wang Shicong, Hu Dawei, and several civil officials sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun and talking.

"Wang Yanshi, I heard that Lu Fujun has already descended, Zhou Tongzhi and Zhang Zhixian have also gone to work with the high thief, and now we are left!" A civil servant had a melancholy look on his face.

Wang Shicong had a calm face and said hatefully: "I think of this thief, who is good at selling the hearts of the people, and it will definitely be a big trouble for the court in the future." Lu Fujun was also confused by him. ”

After Gao Yihuan talked to more than a dozen civil officials in a row that day, seven people have surrendered one after another to this day, and now there are only eight people left in the courtyard, who are still resisting, but they are now also beginning to panic.

The Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty, except for a small number of people, most of them were not really loyal to the Zhu family, the late Ming Dynasty was active, the emperor and the ministers were in a state of opposition most of the time, and the Wenchen was loyal to the system of the interests of the gentry maintained by the Ming court, as well as the Confucian Taoist system and legal system.

Li Zicheng sabotaged these, so the official gentry were very disgusted with the rogue, but these days, they have been a little panicked when they watched Gao Yihuan's actions in Runing Mansion.

Because the Liukou is undergoing a qualitative change, they are doing this, most of them want to win the world, so do we want to get off the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty, hurry up and get on a new ship, take advantage of his success, take a position first, teach him our rules, grasp the right to speak, let him follow the Confucian concept of governing the country, and continue to safeguard the interests of the gentry?

Several civil officials were indignant at first, but now they all had other thoughts in their hearts, Wang Shicong saw that they didn't speak, so he immediately turned his head to look at Hu Dawei who was sitting on the side, and asked, "General Tiger, what's the situation on the side of the army?" ”

Hu Dawei sighed, "Don't mention it, the imperial court has not paid salaries for several months, and the high thieves have come up and divided the fields to the silver, and almost all of them have been dropped." Now that there are 2,000 new thieves, the imperial court is afraid that there is no possibility of recovering Runing! ”

Wang Shicong asked, his mood was a little heavier, he looked up and saw that the other people in the courtyard had begun to waver, and he couldn't help but say with a cold face: "Remember to calm down, the high thief is just a thief, as long as Inspector Sun can defeat the thief, the high thief can also be captured." ”

Everyone nodded absentmindedly, now they can only wait for the results of the battle between Sun Chuanting and Li Zicheng to decide the future.

At this time, on the street leading to the outside of the city, there was a sound of horses' hooves, led by a young general who was slightly fat, dressed in silver armor, and majestic, from time to time tightened the reins of the horse and slowed down the horse, so as not to hit the pedestrians on the street.

The second brother led more than a dozen cavalry, and after running out of the city gate, he immediately grabbed the horse's belly and galloped out, behind Zhao Zhuzi and other guards who had just learned to ride horses, and followed behind him crookedly.

Not long after, the second brother came to a camp outside the city, and saw more than 100 cavalrymen practicing galloping, and from time to time some people fell off their horses, and thousands of new soldiers on the other side were practicing boxing.

After taking Runing, the second brother immediately asked Zhang to go back to report, and then ordered Zhao Zhuzi to lead the troops to respond, and asked Wu Shizhao to quickly escort the captives to Runing.

In the victory of Yuncheng, the second brother Gao shared 1,500 wounded soldiers, 1,400 soldiers, and captured nearly 700 people in Runing. Except for the more than 600 seriously injured people who were temporarily recuperating in the city, the remaining 3,000 men and horses were all reorganized.

In addition, the second brother recruited another 2,000 people in Runing, and the number of people increased by more than 5,000 at once.

The second brother Gao was originally 3,000 people, but after arriving in Chenzhou, he incorporated Chenzhou, Xiangcheng and other places, increased his troops by 1,000, and expanded his men and horses to 4,000 people.

Now, excluding his losses in Yuncheng, there are more than 9,000 people, which can be regarded as a small prince~
