This battle at the end of 1342 brought a hurricane-like shock to the major forces of Jianghuai. When Mo Rigen fled back to the important town of Luzhou with the remnants of the defeated army. The various forces that had been waiting for victory were stunned. These forces were all victims of the land reform in Chengpan. Before they sent out the troops, they kept jumping up and down, using a network of contacts to find out the date of the troops. When they learned that the postponement of the date of the army was due to the problem of food and grass, their first reaction was that Mo Rigen wanted to make money. Several forces have put together a part of the grain, grass and salaries. The upper echelons of the entire Jianghuai are united in this matter.

In the end, after thousands of waits, the court army they had been waiting for for a long time finally came out. These forces were very excited, and seemed to have seen the Huangzhou bandits who robbed their property turned into powder under the imperial court's heavenly soldiers, but Mo Rigen, who led the troops out of the city in the morning, fled back in the evening, and everyone dared not imagine the worst situation, and a squire seemed to say comfortingly: "Maybe the adults forgot something in the morning and came back to get it." It's a ridiculous reason, but no one has spoken to expose the loopholes in this flawed statement. Soon what followed proved to be terrible. After returning to the city, Mo Rigen quickly closed the city gate and presided over the defense of the city wall. Hearing this news, there was an uproar in the city, and the big families in the city sent their families one after another to inquire about the news of this expedition. Soon further bad news came, and as it was getting dark, the first wave of routs fled as if fleeing. The routs pleaded under the city. Request to come into town. But the city was heavily guarded. The forces of all parties were shocked, although they heard that the number of bandits in Huangzhou exceeded 10,000, but they subconsciously thought that they were a rabble and vulnerable. But what they didn't expect was that they actually defeated the powerful officers and troops, and in such a short period of time. So all kinds of rumors appeared in the city, what Huangzhou bandits coerced hundreds of thousands of displaced people, what the entire Jiangnan was erosive, and what bandits' magic power reached the sky. Due to the blockade of the city, only a few words came. But with the second wave returning at seven o'clock in the evening, the city was less tense. The second wave of rout was actually a prisoner released by Cheng Pan. The city wall leads to guò to hang people up and get the news. It was determined that Luzhou City was temporarily safe.

At this time, in the Luzhou City Lord's Mansion, Mo Rigen was holding a letter in his hand, and several soldiers were kneeling below. They were all hung up from outside the city to learn the news. Written on the letterhead is a thank you note. Roughly it means to thank Wang Shi for going south to suppress bandits, and also return a Lang Lang Qiankun to the place, and the good citizen Cheng Pan is grateful for the kindness of the handsome and willing to help pay 2o thousand taels of silver, but unfortunately there are many inconveniences on the way and can not be escorted in person, and ten days later, the county orders of the three counties will coordinate the transportation of this silver. After reading the letter, Mo Rigen immediately knew that Cheng Pan wanted to ease relations with the government while continuing to hibernate. After reading the letter, Morrigan broke a porcelain cup. He scolded: "Killing officers and soldiers, this is a rebellion, a rebellion." You still want to settle it with money, shaft, you are humiliating me". Mo Rigen gritted his teeth and let it out, and then his momentum fell. He closed his eyes, and the image of his troops being vulnerable to artillery fire and muskets came to mind. I estimated in my mind that it would take ten times as many troops to contend with. And the imperial court is now in a hurry to draw such a force at all, philosophy to several provincial capitals to suppress. And the Huangzhou thieves appeared under their rule. No matter what, I can't escape my responsibility. If the imperial court really wants to suppress the Huangzhou bandits, he will definitely be held accountable for the disadvantage of his rule, and he will be dismissed or killed. Moreover, Cheng Pan's actions have not yet reached the level of rebellion, and the states and counties have not lost their ...... The local taxes in Huangzhou where bandits are entrenched are normal. Cheng Pan's actions in the local area actually belong to the scope of local wealthy families, but his actions are too big and violate the unspoken rules of the major local forces.

Our Lord Mozhigen does not have the honorable sentiment of dedicating himself to the country, this sentence is wrong, maybe he has the courage to die on the battlefield, but he is not willing to accept being stabbed in the back by his political enemies. The whole family was raided, and the family members were humiliated. After receiving the assurance that Cheng Pan will not be pressed further. Although Mo Rigen knew that Cheng Pan's tiger would eat more people sooner or later. But this is the harm of boiling frogs in warm water, Mo Rigen can't care about it so much, he wants to get through the relationship above. Fight with forces that threaten you. As for Cheng Pan, when the tiger came out, it was not only himself who died anyway, he had to die one by one, in order to kill Cheng Pan first, it was too unfair to let himself die first.

After the 200,000 taels of silver were delivered five days later, the Tongguò spies made sure that Cheng Pan did not take any further action, but only after he was tyrannical in his own forces. Mozhigen gathered the old troops, replenished the army, encircled his subordinates, and consolidated his position. The above official document describes his success in suppressing bandits. Privately wrote to his boss to explain that the Huangzhou bandits had a strong military and that it was difficult to suppress them in one place, and at the same time, the Huangzhou bandits did not do anything out of the ordinary to the imperial court on the surface, and blindly oppressed them, which was afraid of causing unforeseen disasters.

The high-ranking officials of Jiangbei Province of Henan and the vassal kings were silent after receiving two letters, both public and private, from Mo Rigen, and these high-ranking officials also had their own spies. To a person like Mozhigen who leads the army in real power. The people above will not rest assured that they will grasp the news through all kinds of mixed sand and ambush methods of secret agents. The information described by these spies is basically the same as what Morrigan said. And the description of the people who followed Mozhigen to the battlefield and survived. These high-level officials knew the terrifying power of Cheng Pan's firearms. Since it is a matter within the province, these high-ranking officials do not want to stab this matter in the court and hand it over to other provinces, which is also an unspoken rule. Therefore, the high-level opinion of the province is to focus on pacification, recruit An Chengpan with a civilian position, and transfer him out of his sphere of influence. It was decided to sacrifice the interests of the original landlords of the three counties.

At the beginning of 1343, just after the end of the year, an official document was sent to Morrigan. Subsequently, the compromise treatment of the Huangzhou bandits came out. Cheng Pan was talking to Mo Rigen's messenger. Cheng Pan said: "You adults ask for so much." The envoy said: "Lord Pingzhang said that as long as the lord of Cheng Zhuang is not in the local area, within his authority, you can choose any county except the three counties to take up the county order. Cheng Pan smiled playfully: "Except for the three counties, I really have to choose." The messenger said, "The owner of the village had better stay away from home and take up a job," Cheng Pan smiled and looked carefully at the list of counties. Suddenly the finger stopped and said, "This is it". The envoy breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the main task was accomplished. The place that Cheng Pan refers to is Rugao County, Taizhou, which is now Rudong County, located on the north side of the Yangtze River estuary, hundreds of miles away from the state. The envoy secretly thought: "I see that this person has no objection" The envoy said: "This year's imperial examination, there is still a process, and then the adults will hand over the question to you, so that the owner of the village can get a meritorious name, and then I will congratulate the owner of the village on his promotion." Cheng Pan replied with a smile. The messenger continued: "I heard that the owner's firearms are sharp, can you provide them" Cheng Pan interrupted and said, "I am a good citizen, I don't know what firearms are", the messenger looked at Cheng Pan pretending to be crazy and stupid and said: "The owner of the village is too modest, Your Excellency has to give an explanation about firearms." Cheng Pan lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "I have a gap with Mo Rigen, and I want a weapon for self-defense." The messenger said: "The owner of the village can rest assured, Lord Pingzhang will arrange for peace wine, and the firearms will not be handed over to Lord Mo Rigen" Cheng Pan continued: "The price of the musket under the fire is not easy to build," The messenger said: "The firearms are expensive, and I know that the firearms are expensive, so please ask the owner to make a quotation." Cheng Pan quoted a price with a black heart, and said with a painful face: "Ten taels of silver." The envoy's face changed: "Can you be lower?" Cheng Pan said: "No, you rest for one night and take a few samples tomorrow." The envoy changed the topic again: "There are some contradictions between the owner of the village and the township" Cheng Pan said with a blank face: "It is very harmonious in Xia and the township, my lord, you heard it wrong." The messenger smiled and said nothing.

That night, Cheng Pan asked the craftsmen to build several muskets, and the arquebus smoothbore was of small caliber. The next day the messenger left with the samples. A few days later, high-ranking provincial officials test-fired muskets and expressed their satisfaction. Although Cheng Pan repeatedly lowered the quality, these muskets were still better than those in the Dadu Firearms Regiment. Then he sent someone to purchase, and Cheng Pan made an agreement with the person who came because of the lack of production. 3o handfuls per day.

After a series of aftermath treatments, the Yuan Dynasty officials handled the matter in a low-key manner. The only thing to lose is the power of the confiscated land. These forces have their own eyes and ears. The hostility towards Cheng Pan is not on the surface.

And Cheng Pan's power officially became famous in the land of Jianghuai. In a teahouse in Jiangnan, two literati talk about it. One of them, dressed in Tsing Yi, said, "Brother Liu, what do you think of the Huangzhou Gang." The person who was questioned said: "Vulgar bravery, this person is tyrannical in the countryside and is not good at recruiting talents. Success and death". The man in Tsing Yi said: "It's a pity that there is no Chen Sheng Wu Guang's ambition in the troubled times, this person has been recruited, and the world of the Yuan Dynasty will be peaceful for a period of time." The surnamed Liu said: "The chaos in the world has appeared, Brother Li doesn't have to sigh, I will wait for the British master."
