Pingding Hanzhong County

For some reason, Zhang Xiu, who was on the city wall, saw the frustration of the front of Chen Lin's army, and there was no joy in his heart, but there was a deep sense of crisis at the moment when Gao Shun's rear army was dispatched. Sure enough, Gao Shun's rear army pressed, not only did Zhang Xiu's front 3,000 troops retreat one after another, but even the 1,000 men and horses behind were impacted, but this time Gao Shun was not a passive defense, but an attack.

The trapped camps fell one by one, but Zhang Xiujun disappeared in rows and was trampled on the ground, followed by the advance of Gao Shun's army. Zhang Xiu was defeated, and he was not complaining about the defeat, because Chen Lin defeated him head-on, and he was unwilling to be defeated because this was the most proud sect guard. In the end, there were only more than 2,000 people fighting on the battlefield, most of them were Chen Linjun, Zhang Xiu looked at the slaughter that began to fall below, and rose up.

Chen Lin heard Zhang Xiuming Jin, and immediately ordered Gao Shun to retreat, Chen Lin was not happy in this battle, because the army of 4,000 is not surplus of 2,000 people, and Cai Yang is even more miserable, only 200 people come back. Kneeling heavily, Cai Yang cried in front of Chen Lin: "Lord, the last general is incompetent." Yang Ren next to him originally thought that Chen Lin didn't want to make meritorious contributions to himself, so he didn't let himself go, but now he felt a little unbearable in his heart.

Gao Shun also came to ask for guilt immediately after the whole army returned, and saw Cai Yang kneeling on the ground, Gao Shun hurriedly knelt down: "Lord, this battle is Shun's command, all are Shun's faults, please punish the lord, Cai Sima is not guilty in this battle." Chen Lin saw that the victory was so desolate, and saw that Gao Shun and Cai Yang blamed each other, and did not shirk their responsibilities, so they were in a better mood. So he hurriedly helped the two of them, and while relieved, he said: "How can there be no wounded and no death in the war, besides, our army is victorious, and all the generals and soldiers fought for the pacification of Hanzhong, and they all died well." ”

According to statistics, Cai Yang has more than 200 people, only 1,400 of the 3,000 trapped camp remain, and 3,000 enemies have been killed, which is the worst time in the history of the trapped camp. Jia Xu said to Chen Lin at this time: "Lord, Zhang Xiu has been defeated, I wonder if Zhang Xiu can surrender as agreed?" Chen Lin was in a very bad mood, and said loudly and angrily: "He dares, hum, the generals and a certain will go to have a look." As he spoke, he led everyone to the city wall, and seeing that Zhang Xiu was still there, Chen Lin personally shouted: "General Zhang, how is it?" ”

Zhang Xiu's face was full of sadness, and he thought of something for a while, but he became impermanent, and announced to everyone in the city: "Come down." "Zhang Xiu's descendants suffered heavy casualties, most of them were ordinary soldiers defending the city at this time, all of them were from Hanzhong, and when they heard Zhang Xiu speak, they suddenly shouted Long live. When Zhang Xiu heard this, he laughed at himself even more, and shouted at Chen Lin: "Lord Taishou wants to be kind to the people who surrender in the city, they are all innocent people." ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he knew that Zhang Xiu was acting according to the contract, and shouted: "General Zhang is relieved, this official is the official of Hanzhong's parents, and he will treat the people in the county well." Zhang Xiu laughed after hearing this, and suddenly quickly drew the knife, wiped it to his neck, and a stream of blood splashed out, Zhang Xiu's body fell down with a bang, and fell under the city wall. Zhang Xiu's movements were as fast as lightning without warning, not only Chen Lin couldn't expect it, but even Zhang Xiu's cronies couldn't stop him. A group of cronies shouted: "Heavenly Master, Heavenly Master, etc." Dozens of guards drew their swords and killed themselves, falling like rain down the city wall.

For a while, everyone in the city and under the city was dumbfounded, and Chen Lin sighed: "There are also loyal people who are anti-thieves, and they were like this in Anyang before. The generals knelt down urgently, willing to go to the soup for Chen Lin. Zhang Xiu was dead, and before he died, he ordered to surrender, and the gate of Nanzheng City was opened after a while, and Chen Lin hurriedly ordered Chen Ze and Yang Ren to enter the city to control the four gates, and take prisoners, there were 12,000 people.

Chen Lin asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe, this Nanzheng has finally been captured, but there are too many prisoners, it is not difficult, just let it go to build the road." It's just that among them is the guards who repair the Wudou Rice Sect, and there are more than 800 people who go out and are disabled, these people are deeply confused by the Five Dou Mi, and they can't turn back, I don't know what Wen He has to teach? "Ordinary captives are naturally easy to deal with, but more than 800 of Zhang Xiu's 4,000 guards escaped, and Chen Lin was a little difficult.

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "The lord can't let these people go, and he can't bear to slaughter them, so why don't you send these 800 people and Zhang Xiu's corpse to Luoyang." "The rice thieves in Hanzhong have finally been pacified, Chen Lin should play to the imperial court, and at the same time, he should also put forward the personnel appointments, and the consent of the imperial court will be officially valid, and let the imperial court help deal with the matter of the eight hundred prisoners. At this time, Yan Pu had already come to Nanzheng, and hurriedly said: "The lord can't be, these people are all from Hanzhong County, if this is handled, at least 800 families in Hanzhong regard the lord as an enemy." As long as the lord treats them equally and treats them like other captives, not only these people will be grateful to the lord, but even the people of Hanzhong will praise the lord's benevolence and righteousness. ”

Chen Lin knew that Yan Pu was more important than internal affairs, and he was more concerned about the management of the people of Hanzhong in the future, so he also agreed to Yan Pu's suggestion. At the same time, he ordered the whole county to start a large-scale water conservancy project, open up wasteland and reclaim land, and restore production in Hanzhong County as soon as possible. He also ordered Jia Xu to write a recital, report it to the imperial court, and report the appointment of a cadre.

The battle of Hanzhong lasted half a year, and was finally exterminated by Chen Lin, at this time, many scholars in Hanzhong County were cleared, and Anyang and Nanzheng were not left, Chen Lin was secretly happy about this situation. Blank to get a lot of land, Chen Lin ordered Shangyong and other places to move the displaced people to Nanzheng and other places again, and mixed with the local people.

Half a month later, Chen Lin held the first political meeting of Hanzhong County in Nanzheng, and the high-ranking officials of the nine counties and the civil and military officials of the county government were all present. Whether it was Chen Lin or the local scholars, they all knew that this would be a redistribution of power in Hanzhong County, and everyone present was all looking forward to it and fearing it.

Chen Lin is naturally sitting in the right position, now Chen Lin has more and more majesty of the superior, Chen Lin did not speak, the hall was silent, Chen Lin was very satisfied with this. Coughing, Chen Lin first asked Juncheng Yanpu: "Zhizhi, tell me about the current situation in Hanzhong County." As early as when Zhang Xiu surrendered, Chen Lin immediately ordered Yan Pu to register the fields of the people of the whole county and enter them into the government. At this time, Yan Pu came out of the queue: "My lord, now there are 73,218 households in Hanzhong County, and 398,421 people; The per capita land is less than two acres. When Yan Pu said this, he deliberately glanced at the scholars present, and the scholars who were seen avoided one after another. Just because the per capita land in Hanzhong County is less than two acres, I am afraid that the local scholars have occupied a lot of fertile land, just like when Chen Lin was in Runan, there was no less.

Although Chen Lin also hated these scholars, he said at this time: "Well, now that the official has taken office, there are many new homeless people, and there are tens of thousands of them, and they are increasing day by day, and the fields in Hanzhong are a little less. Zhizhi organized officials as soon as possible, led the people to open up wasteland, and everyone must have land to plant in the coming year. Chen Lin's scholars present relieved the siege, but then said: "My Hanzhong County is located in a basin, fertile for thousands of miles, but the population of less than 400,000 is less. ”

The reason why Chen Lin said this was to prevent the Shi clan from holding too many private slaves, and Chen Lin could ignore the existing fields, but Chen Lin did not allow the Shi clan to hide a large number of people. As soon as Chen Lin's words came out, with a terrifying ruthlessness, the scholars couldn't help but feel worried in their hearts. Chen Lin even threatened the way of inducement, so after saying this, he added: "The official does not care about all the domestic slaves, fertile land, and assets of all ethnic groups today, but the number of domestic slaves must also be reported to the government. The government encourages business, and the tax rate for business is one-third of the agricultural tax. As soon as Chen Lin said this, everyone was excited again, now Chen Linding's agricultural tax in Hanzhong County is twenty taxes and one, so isn't the commercial tax sixty taxes one. Although all the scholars look down on the merchants, but which scholar clan is not a big deal, Chen Lin can be regarded as giving a great discount to the Hanzhong County scholars.

After saying this, Chen Lin began to appoint the county personnel, most of which remained the same, which made everyone at the scene happy, and they were worried that Chen Lin would unload the mill and kill the donkey. Now it's okay, one by one, at the same time, Chen Lin also appointed his father as the commander of Anyang County, Yang Kai said that it was the order of Nanzheng County, and how Yang Ren was the general who led the first army alone can be regarded as an explanation of the second Yang in Hanzhong.

Chen Lin even moved more than 10,000 people from Runan to Yangping Pass and established Yangping County, so that Hanzhong officially became ten counties, which was also realized through Yang Ci in Luoyang, so it is easy to say that there are people in the court. Yangping County took Yangping Pass as the city and built it inward, responsible for defending Yangping Pass

According to the current tax revenue of Hanzhong County, excluding the county military use of the ten counties, Chen Lin can only form a regular army of 5,000 at most. And Chen Lin has a thousand cavalry, which is equivalent to two thousand foot soldiers, so Chen Lin had to pay out of his own pocket to raise soldiers. Now that Chen Lin has officially allocated military power and trapped three thousand camps, he is naturally still Gao Shun; The cavalry is officially famous: wolf riding, one thousand, must be Chen Ze; Chen Lin's guards remain unchanged; Cai Yang and Yang Ren each received 1,000.

Yan Pu strongly opposed Chen Lin raising too many troops, but Chen Lin knew that the current situation was different and he had to be guarded by heavy troops, so he did not accept Yan Pu's suggestion.

After sending everyone away, only Jia Xu remained, Jia Xu said: "Lord, now that Hanzhong County is newly determined, it is advisable to recruit talents and cultivate life, but Xu must remind the lord not to relax his vigilance, there are tens of thousands of Yi people in the Qianliba Mountains in the south of Hanzhong County." "There are no less than 30,000 Yi people in Bashan, these Bashan Yi, deep in the mountains, can go out of Hanzhong County in the north, and can now appear in Ba County in the south, and the Han people in these two counties often have contacts. Jia Xu always felt that such a group of people was an uneasy factor, and hoped that Chen Lin would pay attention to it, and it was best to accept it and use it for his own use.

Just when Chen Lin was in a good mood when he pacified Hanzhong County, a sudden report came and sent a shocking news: Yang Ci died of illness.
