After six or seven days of bumpy carriage all the way, Feng Yunshan finally left the Guangnan Mansion in Yunnan and entered the territory of Baise Hall in Guangxi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as you enter Guangxi, there is a rushing mountain stream, which flows down the canyon to the east, and the official road leading to the Baise Hall extends along the mountain stream canyon.

It is said that it is an official road, but in fact, it is overgrown with weeds, it is estimated that there are few people walking, there are overgrown weeds along the way, and many places have been washed away by floods, Feng Yunshan has to get off the carriage and walk from time to time. Fortunately, this canyon is only a few dozen miles, and after that, it will gradually become no longer deserted, and the official road will slowly widen.

"This official road has also been renovated!" Feng Yunshan walked out of the sedan chair, said to Zeng Yuheng, deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Works who accompanied him, turned his head and asked the guide who accompanied him--- a division staff officer named Zhang Wuming next to Luo Qiongshu: "Staff Officer Zhang, how far is it from the place where the poison gas erupted?" ”

This strange name turned out to be named "Nameless" staff officer, a man in his thirties, when the Sixth Division passed through the poisonous gas swamp in Yangwanzhou, he was also present, and was almost poisoned there, so he remembered that place vividly, so he was sent by Luo Qiongshu to lead the way.

"Holy King, this has just been in Guangxi for half a day, and there should be sixty miles to Baise City. The place where the poisonous gas erupted was one hundred and twenty miles southeast of Baise City, not far from a market called Xiang Zhouwei on the side of the Youjiang River, and about five or six miles away from the bank of the Youjiang River. Zhang Wuming replied, thinking of the terrifying place where poison gas was spewed, and his heart felt cold.

"Staff Officer Zhang, don't be afraid! The poison gas should not erupt often, but gather for a period of time before it is sprayed once. Feng Yunshan saw that Zhang Wuming was a little drumming in his heart, and comforted.

"Hurry up! Within two days, arrive at your destination! Feng Yunshan ordered and sat back in the carriage. He was in a bit of a hurry to get to that place to see if it was an oil field.

If I remember correctly, on the side of the Youjiang River, more than 100 miles southeast of Baise, there is indeed a Tiandong Oilfield, which is the largest and best oilfield in the entire Baise Oilfield, but I don't know if it is there.

When all the people heard the Holy King's command, they quickly whipped up.

This time I came back from Yunan and brought back a lot of horses.

Because Luo Qiongshu wanted to clear the remaining Qing soldiers such as Lijiang Mansion, he threw the main force of the Sixth Division to stay in Yunnan. He was not worried about Feng Yunshan's safety, and a main infantry regiment of the Sixth Division of the Special Command was ordered to escort Feng Yunshan back to Guangxi. Because Yunan is close to the Tibetan area and there are more horses, so Luo Qiongshu let the main infantry regiment have more than 1,000 people, all of whom ride horses, as if they have become a cavalry.

In addition, the Manchu Qing officials who accompanied Feng Yunshan and other personnel, everyone rode horses, and for a time, in the valley of the Youjiang River, the momentum was huge, and thousands of horses were galloping.

When passing through Baise City along the way, Feng Yunshan ordered to go around the city. There was a regiment of troops stationed in Baise City, and when they saw a large group of cavalry passing by, they hurriedly sounded the alarm horn and put the whole city on alert.

Seeing that this group of cavalry ignored Baise City and went straight to the southeast, he hurriedly sent three more cavalrymen to chase after him, and followed them from a distance to reconnoiter the situation of everyone.

Feng Yunshan smiled lightly when he heard this, and said, "Raise the banner of an ordinary captive army." Just don't let people know that the king is there. "In this era, if you don't reveal your identity, it will be ridiculous if you draw out the local garrison to attack him, and he doesn't want to make an oolong incident.

As soon as the cavalry team in front of them waved the dragon banner with five stars on a red background and five stars to fight against the captive army, they knew that it was their own people. Rushed to ask that it was the Sixth Division of the First Division due to military needs, passing by here, and then returned to Baise City to report.

The vigilance of the local garrison, on the whole, still satisfied Feng Yunshan. However, it was almost to Baise City that I found that there was a large group of cavalry, and this reconnaissance ability was not enough.

Along the way, it passes through the two states of Yangwan Tuzhou and Fengyi Tuzhou.

The next day, when it was almost evening, everyone finally arrived at the Xiangzhou Weiji that Zhang Wuming said, here, it was no longer Yangwan Tuzhou as Luo Qiongshu said, but belonged to the territory of Fengyi Tuzhou.

Feng Yunshan saw that it was getting late, and it was only five or six miles away from the destination, so he was not in a hurry, so he ordered to camp next to the polder and rest for one night, and rushed to the destination early the next morning.

……

The sudden intrusion of a large group of cavalry made the people on the polder very panicked.

That is, a year and a half ago, tens of thousands of troops passed through this area, and since then, the Tusi of Fengyi Tuzhou has surrendered to the Holy Kingdom. In order to maintain stability in these places, the Holy Kingdom did not drastically change the status quo.

These original hereditary lands of Tusi, with several rounds of land reform and return to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although on the surface it claimed that the Tusi system was abolished and changed to Liuguan to sit in town, but in fact, in this barren land far away from the emperor of the mountain, Liuguan is just a virtual shell, and the actual power is still in the hands of the local Tusi.

In this regard, the Manchus could only turn a blind eye and have nothing to do.

However, half a year later, slowly, there were some changes in Bongyituzhou.

First of all, 400 soldiers came to the city of this state, claiming to be a battalion of the Chinese captive army, and they were stationed in Fengyi Prefecture in the future. Immediately afterwards, two scholars came from Zhen'an Mansion, saying that they were officials who governed Fengyi Prefecture, what county magistrate and deputy county magistrate, and asked the former Tusi to move out of the state office.

Tusi was furious, relying on the fact that he had 800 native soldiers under his command, so he wanted to kill the two scholars, but unexpectedly, the 400 soldiers came, and in only two rounds, they defeated the native soldiers under Tusi, killing more than 200 people and capturing 400 people, and the rest fled to the mountains and never dared to come out again.

After Tusi was captured, the county magistrate tried him on the street, tried it publicly, and revealed all the crimes committed by Tusi, which made the people who supported him very ashamed. Immediately afterwards, the county magistrate led people to confiscate all the Tusi family property, and distributed houses, fields, and grain to the poor people and natives in the state city, and soon won the support of everyone.

The county magistrate and the deputy county magistrate recruited local scholars and squires, recruited craftsmen, built bridges and paved roads, and did some good things for the benefit of the people, which were more and more recognized by the people.

Subsequently, towns and towns were established in the major polders, and town offices were set up to help the people, reduce taxes, and promote the good policies of the holy country.

Now that a year has passed, the life of the people in Fengyi Prefecture is getting better and better, and the people have become more and more fond of today's life. For the sudden appearance of an army, they were afraid that the days that had finally begun to get better would be destroyed again, so they hurriedly reported to the mayor of the town office and asked him to go to the state city to report and ask for reinforcements.

……

Zhang Dashan is the mayor of Xiangzhou Town, he received a report from the people in the town, saying that a large group of cavalry entered the town, he was shocked, and was about to go to the state city to report, suddenly more than ten soldiers wearing light gray uniforms of the begging army entered the town office, claiming that they were the soldiers of the begging army, and asked him to go with them, and there were big people who wanted to see him.

Zhang Dashan turned his worries into joy: it turned out to be his own person! Hurriedly followed the soldiers to the barracks next to the polder.

This man is so familiar!

After entering the barracks and being examined, he came to a wide Ming and Huang tent, and Zhang Dashan saw a person sitting in the hall, under the arch of the guards beside him, not angry and arrogant.

Wait, this! Is this it? Isn't this the Holy King! Zhang Dashan finally recognized it.

Since more than half a year ago, Zhang Dashan, who came out of the school, was appointed as the mayor of Xiangzhou Town, after two months of closed training in the school, on weekdays, he often came into contact with books that printed the portrait of the holy king. The appearance of the Holy King has long been deeply rooted in his mind.

"The little people meet the Holy King! Long live the Holy King, long live, long live! Zhang Dashan's voice trembled a little, he looked at Feng Yunshan, and was shocked, his worship of Feng Yunshan on weekdays played a role, and as soon as he knelt down with his legs, he bowed down.

"Mayor Zhang doesn't have to be polite, let's be flat!" Seeing that the local mayor was coming, Feng Yunshan treated him with a pleasant face.

This town is located in a remote Tusi land, Feng Yunshan saw that the people had no vegetables all the way, and they were all full of red light, and he was very happy to know that the people were not starving.

In his original imagination, around such a remote small polder, there are poor people, and life must be not good, but he didn't expect that he even asked a few people, and said that the town office had done a few practical things, led and helped them farm, and they were very supportive of the town office, and even supported him, the holy country and the holy king.

These rely on the mayor Zhang Dashan.

Grassroots officials who have direct contact with the people are the most important. Feng Yunshan, who came from later generations, understood this truth very well.
