There was no word that night, the wind was calm, and there was not even a dog barking in the county. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Early the next morning, the people of the Tan family ran around to deliver the news to the clansmen, these people were very sensible, and after a night of consideration, they found that there was no other way than to do what Wang Huan requested, and resisting would only lead to the tragedy of annihilation.

After noon, there began to be people from the Tan family in the county to help the old and the young, carrying the burden and driving the car, escorting the soldiers sent by Wang Huan with their belongings, gathering at the city gate, and the Tan family scattered in the countryside rushed over to join in, slowly, the number of people outside the city gate increased, and when it was almost over, the Tan family who took the head was the county Cheng, he counted the number of people, and reported to the ancestor who was riding on a horse and holding a spear, and the ancestor nodded expressionlessly.

The Tan family converged into a long dragon, and under the leadership of the Kuizhou soldiers who led the way in front, they walked along the official road in the direction of the stone pillar, in the stone pillar, Wang Huan had already sent someone to arrange it, Qin Liangyu would break up these people and divide them into each head village according to the household, work and farm, and feed themselves.

This is a bit cruel from a modern point of view, but under the circumstances at that time, it was a very humane approach, and if Tan Wen occupied Wanshou Valley, I am afraid that anyone who has anything to do with Wang Huan will be cut off their heads.

Fengjie has a total of more than 50,000 people, nearly 10,000 people at once, vacating a lot of fields, of course, can not be wasted, Wang Huan immediately organized the newly attached homeless people to migrate to Fengjie, although Fengjie is also mountainous, but much better than the stone pillar, at least a lot of fertile land, planted properly enough to supplement Wang Huan's lack of food, reduce the number of purchases, save a lot of expenses.

Wang Huankai's conditions were very generous, the fields could be distributed free of charge, as long as they were willing to pioneer, the reclaimed wasteland also belonged to the pioneers themselves, and the fields were priceless, and this alone attracted many voluntary followers. Another condition is to exempt Fengjie from a year's field endowment, the government does not pay grain, this is great news, what you plant is your own, but you are a fool in the past, at the same time, the decree of exempting the field endowment has also been exchanged for the hearts of the local residents of Fengjie County, originally they also had the sad feelings of the Tan family's exile, and as soon as this decree came out, it was immediately converted into an incomparable support for Wang Huan.

Wang Huan set up a tablet at the gate of Fengjie County, engraved with the same pension clause as Wanshou City, this is another bomb, it turns out that there is such a good treatment as a soldier, even if the war is killed, the whole family will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives, and they can also get a monthly salary, Fengjie is boiling in the city, if it were not for Wang Huan's extremely strict requirements for participating in the Kuizhou army, he would be able to recruit a team of tens of thousands of people that month.

In September, Wang Huan was busy, from Fengjie to the east, on the west side of Daba Mountain, located in the Sichuan Basin of several other Kuizhou prefecture counties, under Wang Huan's order, they were personally from the local magistrate to the Kuizhou army, which of course has the credit of Meng Zhiyu, he wrote hard and wrote several letters to the magistrate of these counties, bluntly saying that the newly appointed Kuizhou general soldier is a dignified master, dedicated to Kuizhou, and Zeng Yingzhi and others raise soldiers like bandits, treat the people like pigs and dogs, and the soldiers are very different, This can be seen from the fact that he was exempted from Fengjie for a year, and the most important thing is that Wang Zongbing is a Confucian general, what does a Confucian general mean? It's a literati, your own people, and the world's scholars are all in the same spirit, of course, you have to support it.

So in just one month, Wang Huan recovered ten counties and one state in Kuizhou Prefecture, with a territory of thousands of miles and a population of more than 200,000 people.

Such a vast territory, Zeng Ying spent a lot of effort, county by county, paid a huge price, the number of soldiers killed in the battle alone was close to 10,000, the war was pervasive, the smoke covered the wall, the consequence of this war was that a county in eastern Sichuan was more dilapidated than a county, the people's livelihood withered, Zeng Ying sent a town general and no civilian, only concerned about exploiting the only remaining little people's fat and people's cream, those local magistrates and governors as civilian officials knew that they should recuperate after the war, but they couldn't speak, The local people experienced two military disasters by Zhang Xianzhong and Zeng Ying, which led to the extreme poverty of the entire eastern Sichuan, many villages were empty, large fields were barren, and there was a scene of the end of the world everywhere.

Wang Huan can be said to have taken over a mess, he doesn't care, but feels that a blank piece of paper is easy to paint, few people can be filled with displaced people who have migrated, less of the influence of the local clans, more conducive to their own governance and control, just use the division of land and the two troubled times of the two ways to collect the people's hearts, it is very simple to make the people's hearts attached, and establish the absolute authority of the Kuizhou army.

Anyone who compares Wang Huan with the civilian and military generals who previously controlled Kuizhou can conclude that Wang Dashan is worthy of his name, and whether it is the local aborigines or the displaced people who have migrated from abroad, they are all grateful to him.

All of this is based on strong financial resources, no money, Wang Huan is also difficult to move an inch, the importance of Tubaozhai silver mine is reflected all the time, with the increasing number of skilled miners and skilled silversmiths, Wang Huan asked Ma Chongming to expand the scale of the mine, increase the output, from two thousand taels per day to three thousand taels, which is almost the output of the ancient and modern times, there has never been any silver mine can reach, Ma Chongming almost smiled all day long and couldn't open his eyes, counting the silver ingots of white flowers and flowers.

A steady stream of new miners drove into the deep mountains of the stone pillars, intensifying mining, at this time the mine safety was very poor, often collapsed and permeable, and the dead were common, but people did not complain, rushed to sign up, for no other reason, the silver was enough.

Fengjie County is the seat of Kuizhou Mansion, the prefect has long been ignorant of where to flee, Wang Huan is also happy to have no civilian constraints at the same level, anyway, the Ming political system has been chaotic, no scruples, simply Meng Zhiyu as the prefect of the county to sign the prefect's rights, large and small civil affairs, all handed over to him to deal with, he only set the principles and bottom line, and handed over the rest to him to consider.

Meng Zhiyu was simply like a thousand miles of horses meeting Bole, ecstatic, full of energy, seriously following Wang Huan's instructions, busy with everything, and finally in order to facilitate the nearby Wang Huan instructions, he simply moved the entire county government to the general army and occupied a courtyard, the original county government had already been dilapidated and discarded.

In this way, it is equivalent to the entire Kuizhou military, political and civil affairs are in the hands of Wang Huan, he asked Qin Liangyu to send a group of reliable officials from Shizhu, stationed in various states and counties, nominally to assist the governor of Zhizhou and county, in fact, everyone knows that this is the main master, this group of officials, in the local recruitment of the people, the establishment of local armed forces, the number of more or less, not less than 500 people, named the regimental training, responsible for the local security maintenance and self-protection, by their own personal guard of the 100 people sent more than 20 soldiers as regimental training instructors, It can also be used as a reserve for the Kuizhou army, which improves the military defense of Kuizhou.

All aspects of things took Wang Huan two months, and during this time, three major events occurred in central and outside Sichuan.

The first thing, * After Li Zicheng died and occupied Nanjing, the Qing army Duoduo and Azig returned to the court, stayed in Meile Zhangjing to raise and defend Wuchang, and served as the "Governor of the Eight Provinces Military Gate", controlled the Jiangnan garrison, and guarded against the Southern Ming.

The second thing is that the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon, spread the word that all men must shave their hair and keep braids, and those who do not obey will be killed.

The third thing is that when Zhang Xianzhong and Zeng Ying confronted each other in Chongqing Mansion and could not hold each other, Li Guo, Gao Yigong, He Zhen and others who were left behind in Shaanxi by Li Zicheng's old troops took Sichuan, went south along the Yangtze River, and flowed down the Yangtze River to Huguang, intending to join the main force of the Chuang army that had stayed in Huguang.
