Shi Dakai continuously used the strategy of besieging the city to send reinforcements, first asking Shi Xiangzhen to bluff to besiege Nanchang, and mobilizing the tired Qing army in Jiujiang, which was not very numerous. After that, he ordered Shi Zhenlun to lead 5,000 men and horses brought by Tianjing to storm Jiujiang, and once again mobilized the Qing army to return to the old nest. However, Shi Xiangzhen's main force has been lurking, waiting for work. This time, not only did Jiang Zhongyuan, the mortal enemy of the Celestial Empire, die under the sword of the Heavenly Army, and hated the Southern Wangxue, but also easily took Jiujiang City.

As soon as Jiujiang succeeded, Shi Dakai immediately waved his army to advance by land and water, and annihilated more than 10,000 defenders in one fell swoop in Tianjiadu, the fortress of the Qing army's river defense. The Heavenly Army drove straight into Qizhou and Kehuang Prefecture to coerce Wuchang. In the face of the mighty and invincible Celestial Army, the Qing officers and men in the three towns of Wuhan were disheartened and had no fighting spirit. The Celestial Army again occupied Wuchang, Hankow, and Hanyang.

After careful consideration, Shi Dakai decided that Hu Yihuang would sit in Anqing and peep into Nanchang, and run the Wuchang area by himself, and the Yamen, the governor of Hubei, would become his line. In accordance with Lin Haifeng's Jianyi, he abandoned the previous practice and strictly implemented the policy of not cracking down on local tyrants and bad gentry who were not guilty of crimes and heinous crimes, and protecting the interests of the poor and poor people while protecting the enlightened gentlemen and wealthy households. At the same time, basic organizations at the village and township levels were established, with each village setting up a villagers' self-defense unit and a township self-defense regiment. In addition, preparations have been made for the establishment of local troops, and a three-in-one military development strategy of field, local, and people's self-defense armed forces has been tried out on a trial basis.

He still has reservations about Lin Haifeng's construction of this practice, that is, this qiē is limited to the area around Wuhan after all. He wanted to try it first.

When he received Lin Haifeng's letter about Shi Zhenji, Shi Dakai didn't seem to be surprised, gently put the letter on the table, picked up the teacup casually, and flicked the floating leaves with a bowl, his eyes glanced at Shi Zhenlun, who had just interrupted the conversation, "Go on with yours." ”

"In the past few days, the development of the Self-Defense Forces and Self-Defense Corps has been very smooth, and the people have understood the reason for defending themselves, and they are very interested. The situation of recruiting local soldiers is also good, after all, it is better than before not leaving their homes. It's just that the silver taels collected are too small, and the total amount of gold and silver collected by the treasury of the three prefectures is less than 600,000 taels, so I'm afraid there will be no way to help Tianjing. Shi Zhenlun looked a little depressed, if it was in the past, the first thing he did when he entered the city was to send people and horses, according to the situation he had, he designated a large household to pay two taels of silver, as little as 30,000 or 50,000, and as much as 100,000 or 200,000, how could it be so miserable today.

Zhang Suimou walked to the table, and saw that King Yi had no intention of objecting, so he picked up King An's letter, and while leaning in front of him to look at it, he muttered, "Actually, this crime is extremely evil, and it is not easy to conclude for a while, and it is natural to levy grain and send salaries." "He is short-sighted, and it is hard to imagine how difficult it must be for him to fight the enemy on the battlefield. But he fought so hard, from Jintian to the present. Fearless in the face of the bloody battlefield, and there is a culture that changes at the opportunity, this is what Shi Dakai loves about him.

"There's nothing like this, it's forbidden, and you have to do it wherever you say." Shi Da smiled, "Starting tomorrow, the customs yamen will be built to collect customs duties from merchants." It is necessary to earnestly protect the legitimate merchants in the city, and for the time being, they should not be taxed, and second, they should be supported. There are also those people who rent the land of the rich households, so you have to organize people to intervene in it, and you must implement the rent reduction one by one. To tell the truth, this king had a lot of land in his family back then, and he also did it when he put money in the field, but this king has never bullied the weak, can you say that this king is guilty because he is rich? The king's property has been accumulated for generations, and he has never taken it by chance. ”

Shi Zhenlun shook his head, "Those rich households with land are renting their fields just to collect rent, and ask them to rent their land one by one, so it's no wonder that they are not in a hurry." I'll have to worry about it. ”

"Haha, you're right." Shi Dakai sat the teacup on the lid of the bowl, and pointed at him with one free hand, "If you are not happy and afraid, if the tenants are in a hurry and sue you to our yamen, you will be a bully, then I will force you to do it, and if you don't agree, I will take your property." As long as the majority of the people believe that you are the worst sin. ”

Shi Zhenlun blinked his eyes, thought carefully, rubbed his hands and smiled, "Alas, I think that in order to collect rent, Da Nian Gen'er came to collect debts, and at that time, who cared about other people's lives and deaths." Now that I think about it, I can really be regarded as a local tyrant. ”

"Your Royal Highness, this" Zhang Suimou carefully read the letter from King An to the Wing King, and handed the letter to Shi Zhenlun casually, looking at His Royal Highness the Wing King who was still talking and laughing, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and his words were not good, "What is this?" How can you say kill and kill? ”

"Kill whom?" Shi Zhenlun only glanced at the contents of the letter roughly, and immediately jumped up, "Your Highness, this is not good!" ”

"Why not?" Shi Dakai glanced at him.

"Anyway, it's not good, the eldest brother will come in a while, and he won't be reluctant!" Shi Zhenlun threw King An's letter on the tea table to the side and shouted. The eldest brother he said was Shi Xiangzhen, and both of them were Shi Dakai's brothers. At that time, the Shi family had 2,000 people in the Jintian regimental camp, although there were not a few people who could recruit habitual fighters, but Shi Zhenji was more outstanding and young, so he won everyone's love. Especially Shi Xiangzhen, who can be called the first fierce general of the Celestial Empire, has taught Shi Zhenji good martial arts since he was a child, and he regards him as a pearl in his palm. He was put into the newly formed Red Army precisely because they all had greater expectations of him.

"Give me King An's letter and respectfully put it here!" Shi Dakai put down the teacup in his hand heavily, and his face suddenly became cold.

Seeing Shi Zhenlun gently put King An's letter in front of King Yi with both hands, Zhang Suimou sighed in his heart: Why is His Royal Highness so confused, this is obviously King An wants to use Shi Zhenji as a paving stone? But he didn't dare to say it, and he still remembered what the Heavenly Wing King had warned him on the ship just after leaving. "Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King An sent this letter so urgently, I am afraid that I also hope that His Royal Highness can quickly intercede with King Dong for Zhenji. He thought that since Tianjing had abolished the separate library system for men and women, he should allow intermarriage at will, as we do now. ”

"How can it be the same?" Shi Dakai said coldly, "We do not interfere in the private affairs of the people, but the Heavenly Army still has to abide by the rules of heaven. ”

"It wasn't right to make this rule in the first place." Shi Zhenlun puffed up his arms and danced, "Hundreds of concubines who allow you to be kings, but they don't allow other people's husbands and wives to reunite, and they don't allow others to marry. We joined the God Worship Society, not a monk temple or nunnery! ”

Shi Dakai stared at him deadly, his Adam's apple squirmed up and down for a while, then he suddenly stood up and laughed loudly, "You guys, you are purely misinterpreting the teachings of the Heavenly King. He raised his hand and pointed at Shi Zhenlun, "What the Heavenly King said in the Heavenly Rules about abstaining from lust is not saying that it is forbidden to combine men and women. As for the temporary, it is just to meet the needs of the moment, and no one has said forever. Didn't you hear the news from Tianjing, isn't the Celestial Empire slowly changing? Everything takes time. But no matter what, there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, just after a settlement, they coveted the love of men and women, and lost their fighting spirit. Think about that King Li Chuang, and then look at what Zhenji did, I think you should understand a little. ”

Shi Zhenlun wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Shi Xiangzhen, who was swept in like a whirlwind.
