Chapter 488 Shangyu Zhu Family
The territory occupied, as long as it was a local tyrant family that did not flee in time, was wiped out; The Yellow Turban Army killed countless people, but it won the support of the people.
Not to mention the generous salary, just saying that joining the army will get 20 acres of permanent tax-free land, which makes the people yearn for it infinitely.
After the resettlement of the people in the three counties of Wu County, there is still a large amount of arable land, and the population will be replenished by migrating from other places after that.
The topography of Huiji County is mainly hilly, several mountains are arranged in a northeast-southwest direction, and the rivers are dense, forming many small alluvial plains, which are also enough to accommodate the local people.
Re-registered, the population of each county has more than doubled, which made Gao Shun very surprised, most of the wealth created by those hidden populations had been occupied by local tyrants without compensation, and the government had lost so much benefit.
All the people have become free people, with land, it is equivalent to having fixed assets, life has hope, production enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, and it is the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army that allows them to live a good life.
Shangyu County is a different look, after the county seat of Shanyin was occupied, the land outside Shangyu City was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, the Zhu family and the county commander were trapped in the city, Shangyu became an isolated city, and morale was low.
The Zhu family is not stupid, and they saw the doorway, this is because the Yellow Turban Army did not attack the city and deliberately let them go, otherwise, they would have been finished long ago; Even Shanyin City has been conquered, not to mention the small county town of Shangyu.
So they discussed surrender with the prefectural commander.
The county order is not stupid, he had to look at the face of the Zhu family before, but now he is mainly based on the Zhu family, and he can only act according to the will of the Zhu family.
Of course, the confidence of the Zhu family is not only the nearly 10,000 soldiers in the city, but also because of the family's famous general Zhu Jun.
They negotiated with the Yellow Turban Army, but they didn't want to surrender to the Yellow Turban Army, otherwise, what face would Zhu Jun have to survive in the world?
However, they also realized that it would be very difficult to negotiate with the Yellow Turban Army, you know, Zhu Jun had killed countless Yellow Turban Army at the beginning, and now that the Yellow Turban Army has hit his doorstep, can he not retaliate?
But now they have no way out, Zhu Jun's fiefdom, Qiantang County, has been occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, after which the Zhu family will lose the money and grain from Qiantang County, and there is no need to continue to live here, so, if possible, they prefer to make a deal with the Yellow Turban Army, abandon local interests, and let the Yellow Turban Army let them go.
The family agreed to send people to San'in City to negotiate with the Yellow Turban Army.
Gao Shun did not come forward, for fear of being recognized, and it was Qian Feng, the Taishou of Huiji County, appointed by Gao Shun to negotiate with the Zhu family.
The people of the Zhu family came up and threatened: "The head of my family is the Marquis of Qiantang, and now he is doing things for the Champion Hou, if your army is not good for my family, the army of the Champion Hou will definitely go south to retaliate." ”
Qian Feng sneered and said: "Hmph, the champion Hou is thousands of miles away, this is not his jurisdiction, you better lower your posture honestly, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite." ”
The man, still arrogant, said, "Let us go, the house and the land are yours, and you must not hinder anyone who wants to go with us." ”
Qian Feng said sarcastically: "If it weren't for the fact that the champion Hou treated our Yellow Turban Army surrendered believers well, do you feel that you are qualified to negotiate terms with us?" I'm afraid you don't even have a chance to stand in front of me, you know, how many believers did your Zhu family kill us in the first place? Those are all people who can't survive, your family is a marquis, and it was the lives of hundreds of people in exchange! It's rare that we don't retaliate, and it's rare that you still want to leave calmly? ”
The people of the Zhu family were taken aback, the Yellow Turban Army really held a grudge, his face turned sallow, his attitude immediately changed, and he asked in a low voice: "Qian Taishou, then how can you let us go?" ”
Qian Feng achieved his goal and decided: "Hmph, the number of people who leave cannot exceed 100, each person carries no more than the same money, and three days of rations, if you agree, you will implement it accordingly, there is no room for negotiation, please do it." ”
The Zhu family was very disappointed with the outcome of the negotiations, and if they had known that this was the case, they should have evacuated early, at least they could keep most of the money and food, and take away most of the loyal soldiers, which was better than having nothing.
They were too self-righteous before, and they felt that if they evacuated, they would be sorry for the face of the famous general, and they even wanted to fight against the Yellow Turban Army.
Some people want to lead troops to break through, but thinking of the large number of cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, in the field, they will definitely become the target of slaughter, besides, now that the Yellow Turban Army has adopted such a policy, how many soldiers are willing to leave and are willing to work hard for their Zhu family?
But most people still hope to leave safely, and now is not the time to fight; As long as they go north to join the head of the family, Zhu Jun, I believe that in a few years, their Zhu family will still be able to restore their previous glory.
Soon, the county commander and other officials sent by Gao Shun, 2,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry arrived in Shangyu County, and took over Shangyu County together with the troops previously stationed outside Shangyu City.
The county commander, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant and others were also very happy, they were finally able to leave here alive, as for the money, it was all outside the body, and it was better than anything else to be able to save their lives.
The Zhu family reached a reconciliation with the Yellow Turban Army, and the happiest thing was the Zhu family's private soldiers, their families were all in the local area, and they had already enjoyed the benefits brought by the Yellow Turban Army, so that they would not have to fight with the Yellow Turban Army, and they would not have to owe the Zhu family affection.
The people of the Zhu family, including those from the government who were willing to leave, were driven out of the county seat after strict inspection.
There was an elderly man in the Zhu family, who had difficulty moving, and only after continuous pleading was he allowed to take away two donkey carts.
With reluctance, everyone was forced to leave, their hearts were full of unwillingness, and they were full of hatred for the Yellow Turban Army.
After they arrived at Qu'a City quickly, they immediately asked to see the governor Liu Xuan.
The news brought by the Zhu family is more comprehensive and detailed than the news brought by Chen Yu.
The strength of the Yellow Turban Army far exceeds Liu Xuan's imagination, this is not an ordinary Yellow Turban thief to make trouble, but organized, premeditated, and learn the lessons of previous failures, fight steadily, build a stable rear, and form a full-time army, and the strength will be even stronger.
And they are more flexible, no longer aiming to kill officials and local tyrants, but to pay less and reap more actual benefits, which is even more difficult to deal with.
Even the hatred for the Zhu family can be given up, what else can't be given up?
At this time, Liu Xuan's troops were deployed in Danyang County to prevent Yuan Shu's attack, and the eastern army was empty.
Yuan Shubing divided into two routes, and had entered Yuzhang County and Xin'an County, and gained a large amount of territory in Xin'an County.
The forces that have not yet been mobilized are the four major families of Wu County and a large number of local tyrants; If they don't actively resist Yuan Shu's attack, whoever rules Jiangdong will be inseparable from their support anyway, but this Yellow Turban Army is different, their enemies are not only the government, but also all the scholars and local tyrants.
Therefore, Liu Miao sent people to invite representatives of the four major families and some local tyrants to come to Qu'a to discuss matters, and asked the Zhu family and Chen Yu to tell the information of the Yellow Turban Army in Huiji County in detail, hoping to attract their attention and concentrate on counterattacking.
The Zhu family and Chen Yu gladly accepted Liu Xuan's arrangement.
However, to Liu Xuan's disappointment, the first choice of half of the local tyrants was not to resist, but to flee.
Only the four major families did not want to give up their ancestral land, and their will to resist was very resolute, which drove some local tyrants to stay.
With the support of the four major families, Liu Miao is already satisfied.
The Zhu family felt that they had completed their mission, and after receiving a gift from Liu Xuan, they took a boat north to Guangling County, took Xuzhou, and went to Jizhou.
