Although Lian Qin Road is located on the seashore, it is indeed a lonely and poor place at this time, and the scenery of Qiongya Road in this era is definitely better, but Zhu Jinglun is not interested in these two places for the time being, and it is really meaningful to compete for Huichao Jiadao. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With the pacification of Gao Lei Yang Dao, Zhu Jinglun felt that he had the strength to forcibly expand here.

The military operation in Gao Lei Yang Road made Zhu Jinglun see a problem, the people are too poor, the Pearl River Delta is not bad, but there are still rebellions, didn't Chen Jinyu just start from Sanshui and capture Sihui and other places.

Gao Leiyang and other areas in western Guangdong, even in later generations, are the poorest places in Guangdong, here characteristics, one is many mountains, the other is road insurance, the result of these two situations is poverty, the other is easy to chaos.

Although the economy of Huichao Jiadao is relatively good because of Chaozhou's proximity to the sea, close to the Pearl River Delta, and rivers such as the Meijiang River that are connected to the sea, it is still relatively poor, and there are many mountains is a big reason, and the other reason is that the people here have always been strong, and there is an allusion in the officialdom called "the tide people are difficult to govern", which is that it is difficult for people in this area to rule, and it is difficult to govern the civil affairs here. The most famous one is Han Changli, and Han Yu once governed here and made achievements.

After Zhu Jinglun put down the rebellion in Gaozhou Mansion, he not only collected and surrendered 10,000 peasant troops, but all of them were dispersed and transferred to the East Battlefield in Guangzhou for training.

Not only did these peasant armies deal with it in this way, but even the officers and soldiers of Gao Leiyang Dao did the same, not only transferred the regimental brave led by the local staff general Fang Yao to the eastern field for training, but also sent Fang Yao and other regimental brave officers to the military academy, and even the green battalion was pulled here for training as long as it did not break up, and the officers were sent to the military academy.

The incident of Gao Leiyang Road sounded a wake-up call for Zhu Jinglun, not all parts of Guangdong are the same as those in Guangzhou, and the people's feelings in various places are very different, and they cannot be dealt with in one size fits all. In order not to make soldiers have an inferiority complex, he has always insisted on a high salary, even if in the end, due to economic pressure, he only gave two taels of silver to the newly recruited Eight Banners and Xin'an recruits, but it was still higher than a coolie.

But Gao Lei Yangdao's situation made him understand that a very important reason why the wages of coolies are so low is that there are still many people who want to be coolies but can't get them, and they can't find a livelihood at all, so they can only go to a dead end.

Therefore, he was willing to surrender these almost unorganized peasant armies, and temporarily abandoned the principle of organized clan soldiers that he had insisted on. But at the same time, it also changed the principle of high salaries, and only gave these people a military salary of one tael a month.

But in order to give them a hope, so as not to always feel inferior, tell them that they are not regular soldiers, and after completing the training, they will not be allowed to go to the battlefield, but only responsible for carrying supplies, etc., as long as they can be soldiers for one year, and if they want to be regular soldiers, they will be regular soldiers, and they will also get the salary of regular soldiers. After that, according to the rules, step by step, he was able to get the highest salary of five taels.

This kind of one-two-by-one soldier is just to draw some of the local displaced people away, so as not to continue to put pressure on the social order.

That's how the things of Gao Lei Yang Dao are done, so similar to the situation of Gao Lei Yang Dao, what should I do with Huichao Jiadao, where there are many mountains and little land, the land is barren, and the people are poor?

Continue to follow the rules, there is no rebellion here for the time being, and there are no rebels, but there are quite a few green battalions.

Wen Sheng was here to be Zhizhou, his son Wen Xingrui is also here, his family is a rich family, Wen Xingrui donated the official title of Zhizhou, when his father was killed by the Taiping Army, he and Du Si Zhuo Xing joined forces to attack the Taiping Army, and finally drove Shi Zhenji's Taiping Army out of Jiading Prefecture, which was regarded as revenge for his father, and then because of merit, the government let him help with military affairs in Chaozhou, with thousands of regiments in his hands, and Zhuo Xing, who partnered with him, was promoted to Chaozhou General Soldier.

During this time, Zhang Baoming had frequent contact with these two people, and the relationship was already good, mainly because the two of them saw that the army brought by Zhang Baoming was really good, and they didn't want to provoke them, and in addition, it was suitable for some strange fellow villagers.

The Hakka people in Heshan and other Wuyi areas were brought over from the Huichao area during the Kangqian period, and the first batch came from Dapu County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Zhang Baoming brought thousands of Hakka people to Chaozhou, and constantly climbed the relationship, and the same clan and the same clan, a clan relationship network spread bigger and bigger.

Although Zhuo Xing is a Chaozhou person, Chaozhou is an area where Hakka people and Chaozhou people live together, and he is even related to Zhuo Xing, and Zhuo Xing really pays attention to these things, and his correspondence with Zhang Baoming is even more frequent.

Historically, when Zhuo Xing was later responsible for quelling the Tu Ke fighting, because he had a certain affection for the Hakka people, in the process of placement, he was considered by the local people to have the intention of "protecting the Hakka people", and even intercepted and killed the Zhuo Ying soldiers.

Zhuo Xing's real name is Zhuo Huakai, and he was born in poverty in Jieyang County. When he was a child, he looked burly and different from ordinary people, and he also liked to make friends in the rivers and lakes, play boxing and playing sticks, and his martial arts were outstanding, and he became the leader of the group.

Such a person, in this era, will definitely not be able to keep to his own farm, either pull the pole to rebel, or suppress the rebellion to soar. Zhuo Xing chose to join the army, he was brave and wise, brave and good at fighting, and successively fought in Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi. The Qing court even rewarded the crown with a flower feather and the title of "Geliangye Baturu", and was awarded the title of Chaozhou General Soldier for his merits, and rewarded three generations with a product canon.

At this time, Zhuo Xing had more than 3,000 henchmen in his hands, many of whom were his friends in the rivers and lakes back then, and they had a good martial arts, and they were the most powerful troops in Huichao Jiadao at this time.

Zhang Baoming knew that Zhu Jinglun wanted to control Huichao Jiadao's army, but he really didn't want to do anything with Zhuo Xing, and he felt that he couldn't persuade Zhuo Xing to take the initiative to give up the army.

Not to mention, Zhuo Xing is a kind of person who really eats this set, although he shouts and scolds more than once, but in the end he was forced by his friend to be angry, and took his men to Guangzhou for training, and he himself was invited by Zhu Jinglun to study at the military academy, seeing what happened to Zhuo Xing, Zhang Baoming was worried about him in turn, and met Zhu Jinglun, hoping that Lord Zhu would not turn his face and be ruthless, if he wanted to kill Zhuo Xing in the end, he was willing to die for Zhuo Xing.

Zhu Jinglun laughed at Zhang Baoming's small belly and chicken intestines, but he was not annoyed, and kowtowed one after another, please Zhu Jinglun must not be untrustworthy.

Zhuo Xing compromised, Wen Xingrui only had 2,000 people in his hands, it was the Fujian Tuanyong he recruited from Fujian's hometown and the Chaoyong recruited in Chaozhou, and he was also a character honed by fighting with death, he was not like Zhuo Xing, who was already high in the general army, and was just a regimental training assistant, he was also a donor, and he had always wanted to find a way out but couldn't get it, he could have relied on his father, but his father died, and in the case of his own future and Zhang Baoming's coercion, and Zhuo Xing as an example, he also brought people to Guangzhou.

Wen Xingrui is different from Zhuo Xing, he is a scholar, although Zhu Jinglun also sent him into the military academy, but he was particularly concerned about him, telling him that he would be a civilian in the future, this is what Zhang Baoming promised Wen Xingrui, this is also what he is most concerned about, this kind of rich children who study, still have a deep idea of valuing literature and light martial arts, after having this kind of guarantee, he is very happy to study in the military academy, and threw all the regimental courage to Zhu Jinglun for training.

The two most powerful troops of Huichao Jiadao were surrendered by Zhu Jinglun, and the remaining green battalions of the Qing army were either scattered as birds and beasts a long time ago, or they were eating and waiting for death in various places.

In fact, it is not easy for the green battalion soldiers, who wants to be inferior if they can live like a person? These people served as soldiers just to eat, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, even the meager salary could not be guaranteed, so most of the green battalion soldiers actually had to work on the side jobs to make a living, some were working on the docks, some were colluding with gangs to open casinos, etc., and some were smuggling opium and other things.

Therefore, what matters to these people is not whether they are willing to go with Zhu Jinglun, as long as they give money, they don't care, what matters is that they have the habit of soldiering oil, but for the sake of local safety, Zhu Jinglun still accepted these people in, one or two silvers per person, and then let the officers train fiercely, anyway, when will they learn the rules, when will they let them out, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to correct their inferiority, the French foreign army never refuses to come from scum, Zhu Jinglun has no reason not to train them.

The Taoist platform, the army, and even the financially important customs of Huichao Jiadao were all controlled by Zhu Jinglun, and this area could be regarded as included in Zhu Jinglun's territory.

The places that the entire Guangdong Province can control at this time, and the places that are worthy of its own control, are basically in the hands.

Before he was ready to tear his face with Bai Gui, or with the Qing court, Zhu Jinglun temporarily chose to wait for the opportunity, temporarily stopped the pace of expansion, and stabilized his mind to focus on internal affairs.

And began to cautiously watch the movements of his neighbors around him over the past year.

The performance of the Taiping Army this year has been up and down.

With the fall of Anqing and betrayal by traitors, King Chen Yucheng, one of the two pillars of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was captured by the Qing army.

At this time, the only one in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who could control the scene was Li Xiucheng, a general.

At this time, Li Xiucheng had already captured Suzhou, Xichang, Hangzhou and other rich areas in the south of the Yangtze River, and established a Sufu Province, and the Qing army's Jiangnan camp had long been pulled out, and there were basically no enemies in the Jiangnan area.

Li Xiucheng can be said to be a soldier with enough food, relying on the wealth of Suzhou and Hangzhou, he also smuggled 20,000 or 30,000 foreign guns from Shanghai, and his firepower was unprecedentedly strong.

But his strategic direction is a little confusing, he attacked Shanghai twice, knowing where there are foreigners, knowing that foreigners will oppose it, knowing that foreigners are not easy to provoke, he still attacked Shanghai twice.

Especially when the second attack on Shanghai was made, the Hunan army had already captured Anqing and there was no danger to defend on the periphery of Nanjing, so they still forcibly attacked Shanghai. (To be continued.) )
