Yun County, Pipa Beach in the east of Yunyang Fucheng.

The Han River, which shuttles through the east and west of Yunyang Prefecture, has a 90-degree turn here, so Yunyang has an extra Pipa Beach.

The Hanshui section here, the north is the Eighteen Pan Mountain, the south is the Monkey Cliff, and the Pipa Beach is in the middle, which is one of the famous ghost gates in the Yunyang section of the Han River. And now it has become a gathering place for Chen Jiajun to gather the displaced shantytowns.

A team of displaced people with a sad face and fear of the unknown gathered here, and the Chen family army took ten households as one and one hundred households as one guarantee, set up a chief and a security chief, and organized young and strong people to be brave. 'Bao' is the most basic unit of Chen Jiajun, and the 'township' and 'district' that go up are thousands of households and 10,000 households. Chen Jiajun is not a nomad, let alone Zhu Ming, this township chief and district head are a temporary establishment. After the team arrived in Nanyang and Runan, they were still placed separately in Bao as a unit.

This 'system' is to ensure the order of the displaced people's ranks, and also to maintain the safety of the displaced people as much as possible.

One of Chen Ming's very reassuring measures was that he did not break up the 'structure' of the displaced people themselves, but gathered small groups of displaced people into a full 'bao'; formed a 'township' with the 'bao' who knew each other as well as possible, and promoted the leaders of the displaced shantytowns with prestige, not only appointing them as security chiefs, but even making them township heads. These prestigious leaders, in Chen Ming's view, can completely absorb them into the government official system in his own general's mansion.

Even if many of them don't know a few words, that's okay.

In the future of the Chen family, the government and the court are definitely not the imperial power does not go to the countryside, and it may be difficult to directly set up a lieutenant chief who eats imperial grain like the Spring and Autumn Period, the Han Dynasty, the Tang and Song Dynasties, but the officials at the township level must definitely be set up. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, local clans flourished in China, which directly affected the government's control over the power of the whole country.

If these leaders who have become the head of the first and the head of the township perform well, or even perform outstandingly, what awaits them in the future will be a decent official position, and it is not impossible to take charge of a township, a town, or even a county.

Chen Baoguang: Almost every one of these secret camp agents is the chief and deputy head of the district, or they are responsible for supervising and managing food and materials. By the time Chen Ming returned to Yunxian County with a part of the team along the steep river, there were already more than 100,000 people gathered here in Pipa Beach, and there were 20,000 people who were brave and brave.

It is a very rough and very simple organization, but it has countered the rumors of Yunyang Mansion in recent days with the most direct facts -- Chen Jiajun is not a 'rogue', not Huang Chao in the late Tang Dynasty, not Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the late Ming Dynasty. Although tens of thousands of volunteers are almost chopping wood into soldiers, they are very similar to the rogues in history. However, the Chen family's military food, which was distributed on time and in full every three days, and the crude and simple structure, allowed hundreds of thousands of people to establish a very simple order.

With order, even a very rudimentary order, it is many times stronger than chaos.

Chen Ming spent five days selecting a total of 10,000 recruits from the volunteers, expanding the number of troops under his direct command to 20,000. The families of these 10,000 recruits were able to provide an extra pound of grain every day, and these 'soldiers' and the families of the previous six or seven thousand recruits formed the only two 'military districts' in this large army of displaced people.

"Take everything you can with you." Chen Ming gave the order very resolutely. Since those people have hope for the Manchus, let them starve to death in hope. They chose the opposite side of Chen Jiajun, and if they starved to death, they didn't blame Chen Mingxin for being ruthless and vicious.

There is indeed a shortage of food in Yunyang Mansion, and if it is looted by Chen Jiajun for such a while, there will be less food. However, since the local 'good people of the Qing Dynasty' and those shantytowns who still choose to stay in the mountains and forests, since they have made a choice, they must take responsibility for the choices they have made.

Maybe it won't take a month and a half a month, it may only take ten days or even more, after Chen Jiajun leaves Yunyang Mansion, the entire Yunyang Mansion will fall into a situation where there is no food to eat, and there should be thousands of people who will go because of this, but who made them choose the Manchu Dynasty? chose to continue to endure and continue not to resist. Chen Ming would not take care of such a person, although he could choose to distribute a part of the grain to alleviate the lack of food in Yunyang. Instead of letting ships full of grain pass through dangerous shoals that make people's heads chill everywhere.

Chen Ming's choice undoubtedly made Yunyang Mansion even worse, he transported a large amount of grain with the army, that is, he would rather sink a boatload of grain in the turbulent and turbulent waves.

Of course, all this Yunyang people have not yet realized. The big squire of Yunyang, who was shocked by Chen Jiajun, is now like a frightened turtle retracting everything in itself into the 'maximum safety' turtle shell. Especially in the north and south of Yunyang, Yunxi and Yunxian are under the nose of Chen Jiajun, and the other part of Chen Ming's southward team and the entire southern part of Yunyang Prefecture who are willing to follow the Chen family are now all gathered in Baokang, and Chen Ming did not take them back to Yunbei. Otherwise, tens of thousands of ordinary people without military training and countless women and children could turn the hundreds of miles from Yunnan to Yunbei into a long march.

From Baokang, they can directly reach Gucheng along the South Pancang River. Although the road was difficult to walk, it was more than tens of thousands of people who followed Chen Ming back to the north of Yunyang, and then hundreds of thousands of people reorganized and set off east. It is estimated that before Chen Ming walked to Junxian, the new governor of Huguang had already brought the green camp from Hunan to call.

Chen Ming didn't have much time, only half a month. Otherwise, the area in the southern part of Yunyang is obviously larger than that in the north, and the number of displaced shantytowns willing to follow Chen Jiajun is much smaller than that in Yunbei, which has nearly 100,000 people. It's because it's too late.

The displaced shantytowns in Yunbei still have a day or two to hesitate and wander, while the displaced shantytowns in Yunnan, even if they make the first decision to follow, many of them fall behind halfway, or fail to meet Chen Jiajun's team, but can only rush to Baokang by themselves.

"The people are the people, and our team is the team. Let's take action with these 200,000 people and go to Xiangyang to get the Year of the Monkey? Go first, open all the way and join the southbound team. ”

Chen Ming's purpose in sending troops to Yunyang Mansion was to attract people, but he never thought of acting with hundreds of thousands of displaced shantytowns. Chen Ming's plan has always been very clear, to break through Xiangyang before Hunan Luying rushes to northern Hubei, whether it is broken or not, and walk around the city.

Chen Ming's army went south, and the green battalion that came from Hunan would definitely not go to Xiangyang again, or even northern Hubei. In the process of Chen's army going down the Han River, before Chen Ming's troops were defeated, the people and horses of the entire Jiangnan were afraid that they would not care about going north......
