In the battle of Wanling, Zhexin fought in a dignified battle, easily defeated the rebels who were three times his own, killed more than 40,000 rebels on the spot, captured more than 70,000, and the remaining tens of thousands of rebels were scattered, Qian Shao and several important rebel leaders died in the chaos.

This battle basically shattered the backbone of the rebels, and the rebels who originally occupied Jixian and Lingyang immediately fled without a trace, and the rebels in other places were in panic, for fear that the Youzhou army would go south and completely wipe them out.

However, Zhixin did not do this, but continued to stay in Wanling, busy collecting those prisoners, by the way to buy the land in Wanling, and distributing the land to the people, it seems that there is no intention of going south to sweep away the rebels in one breath, which makes the rebels even more frightened, the so-called knife hanging above the head is more terrible than the one that falls.

Zhexin really had the intention of going south, but his idea was immediately blocked back by the General Staff, as for why, the General Staff did not explain, although Zhixin did not understand very well, but he could probably guess some, maybe the General Staff and the Lord did not want to advance so quickly, but hoped to do a solid job of controlling the territory in hand first, and then slowly advance southward.

Sure enough, the order that the staff received was to let Zhixin cooperate with Gu Yong, who came later, to implement the new policy and train recruits in Wanling.

Gu Yong came from Moling, due to the relationship between the rebels, the original slow progress of the new deal suddenly accelerated, in the face of the danger of life and death, the originally stubborn and conservative farmers suddenly became afraid to accept new things, the so-called poor change in a sense, in fact, have to change. It is only at the end of the road that human courage bursts out.

In just one month, what was originally difficult to implement suddenly became simpler. Except for a small number of small landlords who still resisted, the vast majority of clans and common people gradually accepted the new policy and understood what benefits the new policy would bring to them.

And that part of the small landlords who insist on refusing to give up their land, according to Fang Zhiwen's meaning, don't have to pay attention to it at all, how can they resist stubbornly under the general trend. It won't be long before they find that in addition to accepting and actively developing under the new rules. There will be no other way out, and as for the rebellion, the consequences are already in front of us.

Moling, Danyang, Shicheng, Wuhu, Liyang and other places have successfully completed the implementation of the new policy, and Gu Yong also implemented the new policy to Wanling, which has just ended the battle.

The situation in Wanling is also good. Because the war is current. The rich families have sold their land and emigrated to the stable cities in the north, Wanling City is from the south of the ordinary people who do not want to be involved in the rebel camp, after learning that the land voucher in the south can be exchanged for land near Wanling, and those who do not have land can still get land for free, these people burst out with great enthusiasm, and soon successfully completed the land distribution and recultivation work, and the entire Wanling City returned to normal production and life order in a few days, the only difference is that. There are more smiles on people's faces, and there are more children in the city. Children who used to work in the fields now have to go to school.

Everything went well, Gu Yong's mood was also good, Gu Yong in the government still had time to be lazy occasionally, make a cup of new tea and drink, while looking at the latest government bulletin and the bought business newspaper.

In the report, there are several new cities in Yanmen and Xuansu and other places that have begun construction, there are official internal information such as the increase in summer grain production in the north this year, and the price may fall slightly, as for the content in the business newspaper, there is more, but the credibility is not so high.

"Adult"

"What?"

"There was a young man outside the yamen who asked to see him, saying that he had something important to say to the adults.1

"Something big? Does this boy have a name? ”

"Lord Huiyu, the person who came claimed to be from Wu County, his name was Zhu Huan, and his name was Xiumu."

"Zhu Huan? I haven't heard of it, send him to the Recruiting Hall, let him come and see him1

Gu Yong said halfway, remembering that the Zhaoxian Pavilion didn't seem to have been built in Wanling, so he changed his words and asked people to bring Zhu Huan in, although he was just a teenager, but since he rushed to the door of the government to ask for a meeting, he shouldn't have come to make trouble, anyway, he is free now, so he might as well meet him.

The young Zhu Huan was quickly brought in, Zhu Huan looked around as he walked, not timid at all, Gu Yong saw through the window from afar, Zhu Huan's calm attitude, and couldn't help nodding secretly.

"Wu County Zhu Huan and Zhu Xiumu meet your lord."

"You're polite, please take a seat1

Gu Yong looked at Zhu Huan with a smile, it seems that he is less than fifteen years old, his figure is as tall as his face is handsome, his eyes are solemn and clear, he is a young man!

"Thank you, sir1

Zhu Huan sat down on his knees very upright, tidied up his clothes slowly, and then looked up at Gu Yong.

"Humu is from Wu County? Why did you come to Danyang County? ”

"In Xia is indeed the ancestral home of Wu County, during the rebellion of Wu County, in order to avoid chaos, fled to Danyang with the villagers, originally settled in Ningguo, a few days ago the rebels rebelled, and went to Wanling with his family 1

"I see, so what is the important thing to report to Hugh Mu here?"

Zhu Huan straightened his waist, and looked at Gu Yong with his eyes without timidity: "My lord, a few days ago, General Zhixin broke the rebels outside the city, and I also witnessed it with my own eyes, General Zhixin was mighty, and it was really happy to defeat the rabble of the rebels in a battle, but after General Zhixin defeated the rebels, he did not take advantage of the situation to go south, completely pacify the rebels, and let the rebels escape, isn't this a great opportunity to be missed in vain1."

"Oh? Humul didn't think it was appropriate? But Hugh Mu should go to General Zhixin for this matter, why should he find me? ”

"My lord, it doesn't make sense! General Zhixin is a guest army, how can he not follow the master's advice and act privately, no matter what, the adult is the person in charge in Wanling City, so he should naturally come to the adult1

Hehe, that's a good point1 Gu Yong couldn't help but smile and praised: "However, if you don't pursue immediately, or it makes sense, what Hume Mu knows may not be the whole thing, so you can't accurately judge this matter to have this misunderstanding.1

Zhu Huan nodded: "What the adults said is very true, I don't dare to be so self-conscious, saying that the adult's choice is wrong, although the big things I said here are related to this, but it is not this matter 1."

Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then asked with interest, "Oh?" What's that? ”

"The adult is also the ancestral home of Jiangdong, and you should know that there are two most troublesome things in Jiangdong, one is the clan, and the other is Shanyue."

"Hehe, the clan and Shanyue! Why are clans and Shanyue the two big troubles in Jiangdong? ”

Zhu Huan smiled faintly, knowing that Gu Yong was going to test himself, so he replied respectfully:

"My lord, the reason why the clan is a big trouble is because the clan power is entrenched in Jiangdong and has completely controlled local affairs, which will make the government decree incompatible and private power overflowing, and the state within the country is not the state. As for Shanyue, it is naturally a great trouble to compete with our people for land and profit, and never get a day of peace.1

"Well said! It's not easy to see this! Hume went on to say1

"No, my lord, the affairs of the clan have gradually changed, after the clan has been freed from the land, the control of the clan has declined, and the prestige of the government has been improved, and in the long run, the harm of the clan can be eliminated! But the harm of Shanyue cannot be ignored, and it is even more serious! I am here to suggest to the adults that they should move south as soon as possible to quell the rebellion, otherwise these rebels will collude with Yamakoshi and cause more and more harm.1

"Collusion with Yamagoe? Does Hume think this is possible? ”

"Of course it is possible, Shanyue originally secretly communicated with various clans, otherwise how could it be repeatedly suppressed? Now these clans are at the end of their rope, and in order to protect themselves, they can't do anything, and if this happens, it will be difficult for Jiangdong to be at peace.1

Gu Yong looked at Zhu Huan's slightly anxious eyes, smiled and nodded: "What Hugh Mu said is also reasonable, but this is only a possibility, in fact, there is more than one way in front of the rebels, and they can also choose to surrender, the lord is benevolent, and has never meant to force them to a dead end, and even from the beginning, the lord has no intention of crusading against them." ”

"Huh?! Why is this so? ”

"Hehe, this is complicated to say, simply put, the lord believes that the root of the rebellion is the conflict between the expectations of the interests of the two sides, but this conflict is caused by misunderstanding and poor communication, there is no need to use blood to finally solve it, now there are enough dead, therefore, we will try to use political means to solve the problem. If someone is obsessed with it or even colludes with Yamakoshi, it is self-defeating1

Zhu Huan was very shocked, he couldn't imagine that this matter was not what he imagined at all, people didn't take the rebels seriously at all, Fang Zhiwen's mind and vision made Zhu Huan even more heartbroken, but this young man would not admit defeat like this.

"But my lord, what if these people take a risk?"

"Hehe, Hugh Mu, the most important thing for us now is to implement the new policy, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and let Jiangdong develop rapidly, as for Shanyue, they can't become the climate, and even in some ways, the existence of Shanyue can make us implement the new policy more smoothly. Although the rebellion caused serious harm to the people of Jiangdong, it cannot be denied that it was the rebellion that hastened the smooth implementation of the new policy, and it was easier for the common people to convince them with facts than with words.1

"Adults can't be this"

Gu Yong looked at Zhu Huan's surprised eyes, and shook his head with a smile: "This rebellion was not induced by us, it is estimated that Jiangbei and Jingzhou, and even those in the south are stirring up, but they happened to help us, otherwise it will take at least two or three years for the implementation of the new policy to be implemented1."

So the more the mountains became more violent in the south, the more people would defect to the north, and the New Deal would win over more people, and eventually the rebels would lose all their supporters.1

"Exactly1

"Clever! Sure enough! The general of the expedition to the north is worthy of the undefeated military god 1

"Hehe, I think Hugh Mu is also good, but he is interested in joining the army! If Hume is interested, I can recommend 1 for Humu

"I can't ask for this, thank you for your help.1 To be continued......
