Chen Jiajun dispatched again, in an all-round way.

Attack Henan Province to the north, Xuzhou and Chenzhou Province to the east, and Runing Province and Nanyang Province to the south.

It's like they're going crazy, attacking all the territory they can get their hands on. What is strange is that Chen Ming, the first person in the Chen family's army, stayed firmly in Lushan and did not move with the army.

Many people looked at Chen Jiajun mockingly with the eyes of 'self-destruction', thinking that Chen Hui and Chen Ming's father and son were confused, and with Chen Jiajun's strength, even if they had laid the ground, it was impossible to hold it firmly in their hands. They simply don't have the strength to divide their forces into defense.

Until Chen Erbao of Yuncheng led his subordinate Chen Jiajun to take Linying and Fugou, and then conquered the empty Xuzhou City in one fell swoop, and after wantonly looting a handful of gentry from various states and counties, he drove chariots and horses, carrying money and grain like a hill, and returned to Yuncheng by the same way; Chen Jiajun, who entered Henan Mansion, also tried to fight Luoyang City after conquering Yiyang, Dengfeng and Songxian in succession, led cattle and sheep, drove fat pigs, and carried money and grain with carts and horses, and returned to Yiyang obediently; Many people who looked at the madness of Chen Jiajun before his self-destruction with mocking eyes suddenly realized that the father and son surnamed Chen were crazy, this is what they did intentionally.

Chen Jiajun was so big in the south, the north and the east, not at all to occupy territory, but to plunder money and grain while reducing the local help of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and also disrupting the order of Xuzhou, the southern part of Henan Prefecture, and the western part of Chenzhou Prefecture.

Don't talk about anything else, just say that the next time the Qing soldiers encircle and suppress the army, they want to be like the Buddha who has been taken off his crown, and it is convenient to go to the local area to requisition chariots, horses, manpower, and even some money, food and materials, that is impossible.

Facts have proved that the Chen Jiajun in the north and east of the two general directions, both offensive instead of defensive, Chen Jiajun did not greed for the city. But on the way to the south, Chen Jiajun seemed to be determined to take Nanyang City.

The remnants of Nanyang Town's troops and the thousands of militia groups that Nanyang Mansion desperately put together were defeated by the Chen Jiajun in the first battle of Xindian. Unless the green battalion soldiers of Yunyang Town and Xing'an Town can grow a pair of wings and rush to Nanyang Mansion City overnight, this city will most likely become the first city conquered by the Chen family's army. Moreover, while attacking Nanyang Fucheng, Chen Jiajun also took care of the credit flag town on the side.

This is an emerging commercial town, and like Zhoujiakou, Shanxi Jin merchants continue to occupy a leading position here, but in addition to the local merchants in Nanyang, there is also a Shaanxi man around him.

In terms of commercial scale, the credit flag town that is still thriving and developing is not as good as Zhoujiakou in its heyday, but there are more than 400 merchants and shops in this small town, which is much more prosperous than the general county seat.

Grain was the first industry operated by the merchants on credit. It is backed by Henan, which is one of the major grain exporting areas in North China, with at least one million stone of grain coming in and out of it every year. Then there is cotton, Henan is also one of the main producing areas of cotton, but Henan cotton is mostly exported to Shaanxi and Gansu, which are short of cotton, and the amount is exported to Shanxi and Hubei is smaller. The cotton industry is far less important than grain for the town.

Finally, there is tea, which is one of the two main sources of tea transshipment in Zhoujiakou, controlled by Shanxi Jin merchants and mainly sold to Russia and Mongolia. Chang Baoshan's trade name is absolutely loud in the credit shop town.

Below the three major industries are many industries that cannot be put on the table, such as paper, wood, sugar, porcelain, cloth, leather goods, medicinal herbs, hookahs, etc.

More than 400 merchants in the credit shop town, top half of Zhoujiakou. The Chen family pounced viciously, and the merchants of Chengqi Town, like the merchants of Zhoujiakou, knelt down softly, and the money and grain materials were carried out, so that the carriages and horses of the transfer worked hard all day long to travel between Nanyang and Ruzhou.

……

There is a saying: The big river is full of water and the small river is full.

The Chen Jiajun, who was the boss, made a windfall, and the soldiers of the Chen Jiajun who were the younger brothers, whether they were officials or soldiers, were all nourished. Especially in terms of mineral deposits, Chen Jiajun's private mine has now become a public mine of Chiguoguo, and Chen Jiajun is shouting every day to recruit and find workers.

And good food is obviously the best reward for the miners who work hard every day.

Jingkong looked at the boiled green vegetable tofu in the bowl, and looked at the dead noodle cake in his hand, although he could eat as much as he wanted, but no matter how many dead noodle cakes he wanted, he couldn't set the oily meat buns, and no matter how much green vegetable tofu he had, it couldn't compare to the meat aroma.

Just across the column of their group of prisoners of war, those 'traitors' who have taken refuge in the Chen Jiajun are holding meat buns and eating fatty yam stewed vermicelli noodles.

All the prisoners of war knew that Chen Jiajun did this to lure them, weaken their fighting spirit, and make them obediently submit. But the power of the gluttonous worms in the stomach sometimes erupts is simply not something that their weakened will can resist.

"Smack!"

The sound of chopsticks falling into the ears of the clear air, and the clear air didn't even need to look up to know that there must be someone who couldn't stand the temptation.

"Boss Jiang......"

"Boss Jiang, don't try to be happy for a while, lose your reputation for a lifetime......"

Jingkong raised his head suddenly, and it was Jiang Tianfang who surrendered, this guy's status is the same as Jingkong, he is the foreman of that group.

"I'm a famous fart. The captives are all taken prisoner, and the wisdom of the ghosts is good. Lao Tzu wants to eat meat, Lao Tzu wants to eat meat. This day's boiled green vegetables and tofu, the monks of Shaolin Temple can't stand it, and Lao Tzu still endures a fart. Jiang Tian scolded loudly, and he was not afraid of offending Jingkong, anyway, did he surrender. The clear space can bite him a bird feather!

Standing outside the cafeteria was a heavily armed mine guard, their black iron armor glistening in the sun. On such a hot day, they still didn't relax for a moment.

The entire mine was guarded by these mine guards and their two-legged dogs, and there was no room for escape.

Jiang Tianfang has given up resisting, he can't stand the food, and he can't stand the tenant hooligans who didn't dare to speak out loudly in front of him in the past, but now they are shouting at him in five and six. It is said that he has not been caught in the mine for a long time, this guy was a prisoner only captured by Chen Jiajun when he entered Yiyang, he himself is Wu Xiucai of Song County, the leader of the Song County militia who reinforced Yiyang.

With the passage of time, although Chen Jiajun's detention of prisoners of war is still strict, its use has been much relaxed. People like Jiang Tianfang did not 'reform through labor' in addition, but directly threw them into the prisoner of war army and left, but the personnel in his group should pay attention to not being from Song County.

For Jiang Tianfang, being trampled on in dignity is what he can't bear the most. And he also knew that his family had been arrested by Chen Jiajun. When Chen Jiajun broke Song County, he arrested his family, and his eldest son was thrown by Chen Jiajun to work as a coolie in the road construction team, and he was less than fourteen years old. This was told to him by the new captives in Song County.

So Jiang Tianfang chose to surrender. Whether it is the needs of food, dignity, or the needs of his family, Jiang Tianfang has no reason to continue to insist.
