Seeing Zhang Zhun's proclamation, Cao Wenheng, the governor of the river, immediately couldn't sit still. Zhang Zhun actually wanted to forcibly apportion, in the name of controlling the river, didn't he want to roast him on the fire? Those big families in Huai'an Mansion, who doesn't have a background? Seriously, if they crooked their mouths on the top, they could remove him Cao Wenheng from the position of the governor of the river. Zhang Zhun did this, it was simply to push him Cao Wenheng directly into the fire pit!

Regarding Zhang Zhun's lion mouth, Cao Wenheng was also stunned. An acre of land apportioned a tael of silver, and only Zhang Zhun dared to speak. According to the calculation of leviing one tael of silver per mu of land, at least a few million taels of silver can be collected, and it may even exceed ten million taels. Is this possible? Even if Emperor Chongzhen repeatedly raises salaries throughout the country, it can't exceed 10 million taels a year, let alone just one place in Huai'an Mansion?

Cao Wenheng felt that Zhang Zhun was simply crazy. If Zhang Zhun didn't go crazy, it would be Zhang Zhun deliberately forcing these big families to rebel! It is conceivable that there will be no big families to respond, and they will definitely connect in series to fight against Zhang Zhun together.

Zhang Zhun is a dragon crossing the river, although it is powerful and chilling, but after all, this is the ground of Huai'an Mansion, and the ability of the head snake is also very strong! Thinking of the forces involved behind those big families, Cao Wenheng felt that his head was more than ten times bigger. Once there is a war in Huai'an, the situation will inevitably be a mess.

After thinking about it, Cao Wenheng felt that he still had to talk to Zhang Zhun. He didn't sleep all night, and his heart was always up and down. It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Cao Wenheng mustered up the courage to ask to see Zhang Zhun, and the result was quickly approved. After Cao Wenheng came in, Zhang Zhun was now listening to his concubine Liu playing the piano, as if he didn't know that the crater was about to erupt.

Zhang Zhun waved his hand, so that Liu Ru was temporarily evasive, and said neatly: "Lord Cao is in a hurry, it seems that there is something important", Cao Wenheng said eagerly: ", Lord Dudu, such an apportionment must not be!" Xia Guan felt that it was better to take more gentle measures. Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Lord Cao, please sit down and talk." ”

Cao Wenheng had no choice but to sit down diagonally.

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "What is Lord Cao worried about? Cao Wenheng said eagerly: "Have you considered that once these people rise up against Huai'an Mansion, there will be chaos, and at that time, all the states and counties in Huai'an Mansion will be in chaos, and people's livelihood will be seriously damaged." Even this Huai'an City may not be peaceful. This is probably something that the Governor does not want to see. ”

Zhang Zhun said disapprerovingly: "What is the confusion that Lord Cao said? Cao Wenheng said nervously: "Those big families must be connected in series." They add up to a lot of them. Second, Cao Ding, under the command of the governor of Caoyun, will also be incited to rebel. Near Huai'an City, there are 20,000 or 30,000 Caoding, and once they make a mess in Huai'an City, they are afraid that they will be destroyed. Third, the soldiers of Huai'an Mansion also have a close relationship with these big families, and they will also be instigated. ”

Zhang Zhun listened to him quietly, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "I can understand the first and third articles, but this second tea ...... As the governor of the river, can't Lord Cao control these Caoding? Cao Wenheng's face turned slightly red, and he said with a slightly unnatural expression: "The Governor of Caoyun and the Governor of the River are two different institutions, and Cao Ding does not belong to the jurisdiction of the lower officials. Zhang Zhun nodded, and said slowly: "What if I appoint Master Cao as the governor of Caoyun and the governor of the river?" Does it have the power to govern Caoding? ”

Cao Wenheng shook his head and said, "You don't have such power. ”

Zhang Zhun said disappreciatively: "Who has such power?" ”

Cao Wenheng bowed to the north and said with a solemn expression: "There is only the emperor." ”

Zhang Zhun seemed to turn his mouth over, and he didn't seem to be very interested in Emperor Chongzhen. However, he didn't have too much contempt, just said slowly: "Okay, since you have no way to manage those Cao Ding, I will handle the affairs of Cao Ding." ”

Cao Wenheng said eagerly: "Please also think twice!" Huai'an Mansion can't afford to be in chaos! If Cao Ding, the guards, and the soldiers join forces together, it will be unfavorable to the adults, and I am afraid that the adults will bring more than 1,000 people......"

With a faint sneer on the corner of Zhang Zhun's mouth, he said disapprerovingly: "Master Cao, how do you think they are compared to the Tartars?" ”

Cao Wenheng's mouth was stuffed with a duck egg, no, it was stuffed with two duck eggs. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. There were many thoughts that turned around in my mind, but in the end, I didn't say them. It's not that he doesn't want to say it, he really doesn't know how to say it.

He had served as the governor of Jiliao, and had confronted the Tartars in the north for more than a year, and although he had not achieved anything, the myth of the invincibility of the Tartars could be heard almost every day. It is a well-known fact that the Tartars are ferocious and powerful. However, the Tiger Ben Army defeated the Tartars, or defeated the Tartars led by Huang Taiji himself.

When the news about the victory of the Tiger Ben Army in the battle of Beizhili first reached Jiangnan, everyone thought it was a joke and thought that the Tiger Ben Army was bragging. However, as time passed, they had to believe that the Tiger Ben Army had indeed defeated the Tartars, and indeed defeated Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji, who was ambitious to go south and was ready to burn and loot, finally threw away his armor and escaped empty-handed.

This information has been confirmed from the imperial court. Although the imperial court was very reluctant to admit the merits of the Tiger Ben army, it made many revisions to the battle report, pasted gold on the face of the imperial army as much as possible, and pasted most of the results on the imperial army.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are too many problems in this. The combat effectiveness of the imperial army, everyone is not unclear, how can they destroy so many Tartars? Yesterday, I was beaten by the Tartars all over the ground looking for teeth, and today I suddenly came to a big victory, "Cut thousands of levels, the contrast is too great, and a fool won't believe it!"

As a result, the more the court whitewashed the results of the battle, and the more it seemed to want to cover up, the more people with a heart believed that it was indeed the Tiger Ben Army that defeated the Tartars. I am afraid that this point is absolutely unthinkable by Chen Xinjia, the new secretary of the Ministry of War. He originally wanted to boost the prestige of the imperial army, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect.

How can these Caoding, guards, and soldiers in Huai'an Mansion be compared with the combat effectiveness of the Tartars? According to Cao Wennei's estimate, as long as there are 3,000 Tartars, it is enough to be able to rampage in Huai'an Mansion. The combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Army is stronger than that of the Tartars, and Zhang Zhun brought more than 1,000 people, is it necessary to rampage in Huai'an Mansion?

After a while, Cao Wenheng said cautiously: "What does Lord Du mean, if they are disobedient, they will be solved by violence?" ”

Zhang Zhun said indifferently: "If they don't use violence, I won't use violence either." If they use violence, why can't I use violence? ”

Cao Wenheng was speechless.

You know you're going to be violent, you're really a thug, how can God favor someone like you? Alas, people are on the chopping board and have to bow their heads! Cao Wenheng only dared to complain quietly in his heart for a while, but he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't even dare to show it on his face. He began to wonder what he would do if he took refuge in the Tiger Army, so as to meet the requirements of the Tiger Army.

Because Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan, Qiao Yunsheng, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Tinglin, Huang Daozhou, Li Lian and others have successively joined the Huben Army's Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and become the so-called "traitors" of the imperial court. So many people have taken refuge in the past, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to follow the past.

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Actually, Lord Cao, I think that the problem of Huai'an Mansion does not need to be violently used at all, and it can be basically solved with just a notice." ”

Cao Wenheng didn't believe his nonsense, frowned, and didn't speak. He served as the governor of Hedong in Huai'an Mansion for many years, and he knew very well how deep the water here was. Zhang Zhun crossed the river and obviously underestimated the complexity of Huai'an Mansion.

Footsteps suddenly came outside, but Liu An came in a hurry. Liu An obviously had an urgent report, and his head was full of heat, but seeing Cao Wenheng present, he cautiously retracted the words that came to his mouth. Cao Wenheng got up to say goodbye with interest, but was stopped by Zhang Zhun reaching out.

Zhang Zhun said quietly: "There are no outsiders here, you just say it!" ”

Liu An said uneasily: "Liu Handa and others publicly stated that they refused to pay the apportionment, and concentrated their families to openly confront. They also sent people to Cao Ding and the garrison to incite them to make trouble, and the people in the city seemed to be a little confused, and they didn't know what had happened. ”

Cao Wenheng's face changed suddenly. What he was most worried about was indeed coming. Those guys who are backed by big forces are really going to fight violently. In Huai'an City, the three religions and nine streams are mixed, and there are armies under different command systems, once the chaos breaks out, the mob kills people everywhere and sets fires, and it is strange that Huai'an City does not become a blank land.

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "All the people on the list, are they all involved?" ”

Liu An said bitterly: "Yes, they are all involved." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said calmly: "I know, I'll deal with it." Here's a notice, you get someone to transcribe 500 copies, and you can quickly go to all the states and counties. Liu Hang, bring the original notice to ......", Liu Hang came out of it and handed Liu An the original text of the notice.

As soon as Liu An saw the content of the announcement, he was immediately stunned. In this notice, Zhang Zhun said righteously that because the large families in Huai'an Mansion refused to take the initiative to apportion, he decided to eliminate them. There is nothing special about the words of the announcement, but this announcement is from the hands of the Tiger Army, so it naturally has a bloody taste.

In the notice, Zhang Zhun also unabashedly called on the poor people of Huai'an Mansion to rise up against the "rebellion" of various landlords. Yes, Brigadier Zhang characterized the reaction of those landlords as a rebellion. Zhang Zhun promised that after quelling the rebellion of these people, the Tiger Ben Army would implement the Juntian Order throughout Huai'an Province.

According to the relevant provisions of the Juntian Order, all the people in Huai'an Prefecture, whether they are homeless, refugees, local residents, or Caoding, military households, and foreign garrisons, as long as they are more than three feet tall, can get at least five acres of land!

"Death!"

"Why am I so stupid?"

"Zhang Zhun is going to kill people and establish authority, and smoothly implement the Juntian Order!"

Liu An had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and finally realized Zhang Zhun's sinister intentions.

Killing people is actually attached to the Tiger Ben Army, but it is not the real purpose. The real purpose of the Tiger Ben Army is to smoothly implement the Juntian Order. If those big families want to pay for water treatment, they don't give it, and when the tiger army exaggerates it like this, the people's hatred will rise immediately, and they will definitely vent their anger at those landlords.

In normal times, maybe these big families can barely support one or two, or even use violence to suppress the troubles of the poor people, but now, the poor people have the support of the Tiger Army, and their strength has suddenly increased a lot. Obviously, the end result must be that these landlords will die at the hands of angry people.

Huai'an Mansion is about to change!

The Tiger Ben Army is going to take control of Huai'an Mansion!

Zhang Zhun didn't go to participate in the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce at all, but took advantage of the road to take the life of Huai'an Mansion. Inciting the people to kill people with knives and casually controlling Huai'an Mansion is Zhang Zhun's real purpose. Those poor people, after killing those landlords, naturally had no choice but to follow the Tiger Ben Army with all their hearts.

"I see......"

Cao Yaheng also reacted at this time.

For Zhang Zhun's sinister intentions, the Governor of the River was deeply despised. Such methods are too violent and bloody. It's just that contempt is contempt, and he can't do anything but despise. Even his contempt did not dare to show it publicly. "Those angry people will also see him as a target to be eradicated."

Zhang Zhun's announcement was very clever, including all those Cao Ding, military households, and foreign garrisons, and removed the reinforcements from all the big families in Huai'an Mansion at once. In fact, most of those Caoding and military households are poor people, living on a little bitter monthly food, and they have no land of their own.

For the reality, their hearts are actually very dissatisfied, but no one leads them to make trouble. Now "Zhang Zhun wants to give them the land, where will they still oppose the Tiger Army?" If you don't pick up swords and guns, it's not bad to follow the Tiger Ben Army into battle.

As for the foreign garrisons, most of them are also bitter, and the money and food they get every month is even less than that of Caoding. If he could get the land and improve his future life, Cao Wenheng believed that they would be the first people to cooperate with the Tiger Army.

Damn, it's really xxx terrible. Huai'an Mansion fell into the door of the Tiger Ben Army in such an unclear manner. When everyone stupidly thought that Zhang Zhun was going to Yangzhou Mansion to kill, he was killing in Huai'an Mansion. Poor officials at all levels in Huai'an Mansion all stupidly ran to Suqian to welcome Zhang Zhun's arrival. Where did they greet the Governor? It's a wolf!

The Tiger Ben Army controls Huai'an Mansion, will Yangzhou Mansion be far away? Yangzhou Mansion is finished, will Nanjing be far away? If Nanjing is finished, will Jiangnan be far away? Under the inducement of Juntianling's big murder, the defection of the poor people in the lower classes was almost inevitable. The army of the imperial court is not the opponent of the Tiger Army, and can only watch the power of the Tiger Army spread to the entire south of the Yangtze River.

Without Jiangnan, the imperial court could not support it. In the past, it was said that the imperial court would move the capital, abandon Beijing, move the capital to Nanjing, and continue to resist stubbornly. Now it seems that this trick will not work either. The Tiger Ben army has occupied Nanjing, where are you going to move? Like Emperor Tang Ming, moved to Sichuan? Over there, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others are also very active!

"The court is finished......", Cao Wenheng said bitterly to himself in his heart.

Sure enough, five hundred announcements were posted, and the boiling Huai'an Mansion was even more boiling. But this time, it's a complete boiling from the bottom up. The ordinary people of Huai'an Mansion do not have land, who doesn't want to have their own land? Unspeakably, they organized themselves in a surging crowd and joined the ranks of the Tiger Army.

The first to defect was indeed the military households of Huai'anwei and Dahewei. It's like Zhang Zhun's Aoshanwei, all the fields of Huai'anwei and Dahewei have been encroached upon by the officers, and the military households responsible for the communication can only be tenants for the officers, and their lives are tight and miserable.

Stimulated by the Tiger Army, some of the lower-level soldiers met to riot. They killed their superior officers, and then established the Huai'an Fu City Defense Army, consciously accepting the leadership of the Tiger Ben Army. After the selection of the Tiger Army, a total of 3,000 people were selected, and after the rebellion of the Huai'an Mansion City Defense Reed Army, Cao Ding also followed backwards. It's almost a given. Even if Cao Ding's monthly food is barely passable, why is there no field to attract people, isn't it? They usually don't dare to have their own land, but now with the help of the Tiger Army, this wish has the possibility of coming true, and the price they need to pay is very, how can they have the possibility of refusing?

Cao Ding's upper-ranking officers, now that they were not good, immediately fled to Yangzhou. Without the command of the officers, the Cao Ding people were naturally even more chaotic. In the end, most of them chose to lay down their arms and wait for the arrangement of the Tiger Army. Only a small number of people tried to cause chaos, but they were all killed by the soldiers of the Qizi battalion of the Tiger Army. As a result, Zhang Zhun easily made an announcement and disintegrated more than 20,000 Cao Ding.

Without the military households, without Caoding, the soldiers of Huai'an Mansion are not fools.

Most of them are also poor. With such a good opportunity, it would be strange if they didn't follow suit. The commander of the soldiers felt that the limelight was wrong, and also fled back to Fengyang, fled back to the Central Capital Detention Division, and then desperately asked for help from Nanjing.

"Asking for help from Nanjing?" , Zhang Zhun smiled coldly with disdain.

It is indeed naïve to expect Nanjing to come to the rescue of Huai'an Mansion. Nanjing will take care of its own affairs. Last time, he only had a few hundred people, and he dared to attack Nanjing City, and now that tens of thousands of troops are in hand, what resistance can Nanjing City have?

Military households, Cao Ding, and soldiers defected one after another, and the big families in Huai'an Mansion immediately felt that something was wrong. Their first instinct was to run away. However, they were too slow. When they now packed up their gold and silver and tried to run away, they suddenly saw that they were already surrounded by soldiers of the Tiger Army.

When Zhang Zhun Hao was moving south, the Minzi Battalion and Taozi Battalion of the 6th Army of the Huben Army had quietly moved south from Shandong and entered Huai'an Mansion in a big way. Because Zhang Zhun attracted everyone's attention, almost no one noticed their existence, so the Minzi Battalion and the Taozi Battalion easily completed the encirclement of the target.

Three days later, more than 300 people, including Liu Handa, Zhang Dabao, and Lin Shuen, were sent to Huai'an Mansion. Their family property was also confiscated by the Tiger Army. Their fields were also all taken over by the Tiger Ben Army and were ready to be redistributed. Zhang Zhun immediately announced that he would implement the Juntian Order in the whole of Huai'an Prefecture.

Regarding Zhang Zhun's announcement, the poor people of Huai'an Mansion naturally raised their hands and feet to welcome. When the news came, Yangzhou Mansion in the south and Fengyang Mansion in the west had a large number of poor people fleeing. Especially Fengyang Mansion, almost in groups, came over, and the days over there were indeed too sad.

At this point, whether it is Cao Wenheng or Liu An, there is no idea of swaying. The Tiger Ben army has made a move, and they have no way to retreat at all. However, they still have some concerns about surrendering the Tiger Army. The main concern is a bad reputation.

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Call Liu An." ”

Liu An came to Zhang Zhun, knelt down with a pop, and stammered: "Lord Dudu, ......", Zhang Zhun said lightly: ", you still continue to serve as the prefect of Huai'an Mansion." Liu An hesitated for a moment, and verbally thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Dudu, for your trust." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said: "This is Liu Hang of the Ministry of Political Affairs, he is your direct boss, and in the future, you will work under his leadership." ”

Liu An hurriedly stood up and saluted.

In fact, he has already met with Liu Hang, but he doesn't know Liu Hang's specific position, let alone Liu Hang's power. Only now did he know that this young man had much more power than he did. There has been a bloody lesson in the past, and he doesn't dare to despise anyone in the Tiger Ben Army in the slightest.

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Your main task is to distribute the land to the hands of the people in the short term. ”

Liu An hurriedly agreed.

Liu Hang did things in a hurry, and immediately took Liu An to work.

At this time, 6 Yidian happened to send the latest information: Zhou Zhengyu had led the Third Fleet of the Navy to successfully blockade the Yangtze River and cut off the connection between Yangzhou and Nanjing. Yangzhou Mansion has become a turtle in an urn.
