Mo Qian didn't expect a high school to be taken so easily, at the gate of the West City, Wang Guozhen and a group of county officials knelt on the side of the road to respectfully welcome Mo Qian into the city.

When Wang Guozhen raised his head, his eyes involuntarily turned to Qian Dayou, who was over thirty years old.

He got to Qian Dayou's horse in a hurry, and said flatteringly: "Shanggao County Cheng Guozhen, I have seen King Mo!" ”

Qian Dayou's face turned cold and said: "You recognize the wrong person, I am not the king, this is the king of my family!" ”

Wang Guozhen was embarrassed when he heard that he recognized the wrong person, but he quickly reacted.

He looked at Mo Qian, who had a lot of money.

When he saw Mo Qian riding a white horse, Wang Guozhen was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that King Mo, who stirred up the storm in Jiangzhong, was so young, seeing that he was only twenty years old, so young, he was already an anti-king who occupied the land of Sanfu, it was terrifying.

Wang Guozhen hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again: "Surrender to Wang Guozhen, meet King Mo!" ”

Mo Qian rode on the white horse and stared at Wang Guozhen with a smile and asked, "What about the county?" ”

Wang Guozhen raised his head and replied: "Chen Zhixian has already fled to Gao'an last night!" ”

"Oh? Chen Yi ran away, why didn't you run with the county? ”

Wang Guozhen's eyes rolled and replied: "I have heard the name of King Mo for a long time, and I have great admiration for the king in my humble position.

Today, the king of Xingyi Shi extinguishes the tyranny, which can be said to conform to the will of the people and the mandate of heaven, and the people of Ruizhou are willing to eat pot pulp to welcome the righteous teacher. ”

Mo Qian couldn't help laughing after hearing this, he pointed at Wang Guozhen with a horsewhip and said: "You guy, the official is not very good, this fart is first-class, okay, Ben Shuai sent two civil servants to assist you, temporarily appointed you as Shang Kochi County, and sat in the rear for Ben Shuai, whether you can save your life depends on your own performance!" ”

When Wang Guozhen heard this, he knew that there was a play in life, so he quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

Mo Qian didn't care about him, he led a large army into the city, and according to the custom, he first sent people to occupy the county government and the treasury, and then posted a notice to calm the people.

A group of Xiucai Gong who came with the army also began to play their role at this moment, and each Xiucai Gong took 50 soldiers to each town and township to establish township yamen, and immediately began to implement the Juntian policy.

Whenever Mo Qian conquered a land, he would send people down to the three levels of towns and villages, first sending Xiucai Gong to publicize the policies of the rebels, and then attack the local landlords.

If there are landlords who don't want to hand over their fields, the talented men will send troops to raid their homes directly, which can be described as a tried and tested trick at present.

Wherever the rebels went, the people would not oppose at all, and the squire landlords who wanted to oppose did not have the ability, and these talented men had soldiers around them, and the squires and landlords did not have the force to dare to resist.

If there are really landlords who are not afraid of death, they dare to gather hundreds of people to resist, and the county will then send troops to exterminate them.

More than a dozen talented dukes soon spread to various towns, and most of them were the children of the squire and landlord class of Yuanzhou.

Their whole family was dragged to the stone field to work as coolies, for the sake of the lives of the whole family, no matter how reluctant these rich children were, they had to follow Mo Qian on the expedition.

Among these people are the sons of Yuan Yesi and Pan Shiwen.

Yuan Yesi can be described as a big landlord class in Yuanzhou, with 10,000 acres of fertile land at home, and there is also a rice shop in Yichun City, and the business can be said to be prosperous.

Yuan Yesi's eldest son, Yuan Zeshuang, is 25 years old this year and has already started a family, while his second son Yuan Zezhao is just in his early twenties.

Both of them are talented and famous, and they have not yet been admitted to the lifting of people.

Both brothers were sent by their father to follow the army, and they underwent a brief seven-day training in a school in Yuanzhou.

The so-called training is that the lecturers in the rebel army explain to them the policies and future goals of the rebels.

The lecturers are all scholars, they are all old men in the rebel army, and they followed the marshal to rebel when they were in Wentang, and they can be described as veterans.

These people get a lot of money every month, and their daily task is one thing, that is, to go to various places to explain Juntian policy.

In addition, they are also responsible for the training of the new recruits of the rebels.

The two brothers, Yuan Zezhao and Yuan Ze, had been attending classes in school for seven days, and they had already memorized Mo Qian's Juntian Ce.

The so-called Juntian policy is in the final analysis six words: fight local tyrants and divide the fields!

The slogan is also very simple, that is, everyone has a field to plant, and everyone has food!

Mo Qian didn't make any messy propaganda outlines, it was straightforward, simple and direct, and his Juntian policy was to let the people all over the world have land to plant, so that the people could have food to eat and clothes to wear!

This is the ultimate goal set by Mo Qian.

The two brothers listened to the class for seven days, and their brains were washed by the lecturers, and they can now be said to be extremely respectful of Mo Qian's set.

After the brothers arrived in Gao'an with the army, they were assigned to the villages of Mengshan and Chencun as village chiefs.

The two of them each took ten volunteer soldiers to set off, and on the way, the elder brother Yuan Zeshuang said to his younger brother Yuan Zezhao: "Zezhao, observe for a few days for my brother, and I will see that those who can win the world in the future will definitely be handsome!" ”

Yuan Zezhao nodded and agreed: "My younger brother also feels this way, when the marshal occupied Yuanzhou last year, I thought that this person could succeed, but unfortunately my father was stubborn and had to collude with the government."

This time, my father listened to the bewitchment of the Pan family and wrote a letter to Nanchang, which is why I suffered this difficulty, I hope my father can see the situation clearly this time and stop daydreaming! ”

Yuan Zeshuang sighed and said: "Yes, I hope that my father and his old man can wake up, but you and my brothers still need to work hard, to govern the party for the handsome, and when the term expires next year, if they can pass the assessment, their father and they will be able to come back from the stone field!" ”

"Well, brother, let's work together!"

The two brothers parted ways at the fork in the official road facing the rising sun and walked towards a new starting point in their lives.

Mo Qian occupied Shanggao'an, and it took only three days to complete the administrative affairs of Shanggao, he appointed Wang Guozhen as the temporary magistrate of Shanggao, and sent two Xiucai as assistants to him to assist him in handling Shanggao's official affairs.

If Wang Guozhen worked diligently during the days when he was in the upper county and could govern this place for him, then his little life would still be kept.

If he dared to be corrupt and pervert the law, the two assistants around him would tell Mo Qian the matter as soon as possible, and Mo Qian would naturally take the head of others unceremoniously.

The reason why he was temporarily appointed to Kochi County first was actually because there were too few civilian officials in the rebel army who could take charge on their own, and the experience of many village and town mayors was not enough, and it still needed time to precipitate, so Mo Qian was relieved to hand over such a large place as the county seat to them for management.

But these are not problems, as long as those talented men have enough work experience at the grassroots level, when he conquers the entire Jiangxi, they will have a place to use at that time.

Three days later, Mo Qian once again led the army to continue eastward, along the cotton water all the way to the east, straight to the capital city of Gao'an.

The 7,000-strong army left 500 in Shanggao, and the remaining 6,500 men arrived in the afternoon of the next day, one after another, outside the city of Gao'an.

At this time, Tao Luzhong, the prefect of Gao'an, was already so frightened that he stood at the head of the city and didn't know what to do.

Three days ago, when Chen Yilian of Shanggaochi County also fled Gao'an, Tao Luzhong had already learned the news that Shanggao had been captured.

Three days ago, he sent a letter to Nanchang by speedboat, and personally delivered the letter for help to Lu Xiangsheng, the premier of the five provinces and the governor of Jiangxi.

Lu Xiangsheng, who had just collected enough military salaries and rations in Nanchang, was preparing to recruit troops, buy horses and train soldiers, and was shocked when he received a letter asking for help from Tao Luzhong.

He slapped the table angrily on the table in the governor's yamen and scolded: "What a thief, he really knows how to send troops at the right time, this guy clearly deceived me Lu Xiangsheng has no soldiers to use!" ”

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was so angry, his lieutenant general couldn't help but step forward and ask: "Dashuai, do you want to ride a fast horse to Yunyang and transfer our 30,000 brothers to Jiangxi. ”

When several other officers heard this, they also echoed and said: "Yes, Marshal, it will definitely be too late for us to train our troops, so it is better to quickly transfer the Tianxiong Army to the south, so that we can have a chance of winning!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but ponder for a while when he heard this suggestion, and then he shook his head and said: "No, the rogue in Shaanxi and Henan provinces is extremely difficult to exterminate, I promised Hong Chengchou to leave the 30,000 Tianxiong army to him to exterminate the rogue bandit, and now it has only been less than a month, let's take the 30,000 soldiers and horses away, so wouldn't it be a pit for Hong Chengchou?"

Moreover, although His Majesty did not explicitly say in the Holy Decree that he wanted me to stay in the Tianxiong Army, the father-in-law who delivered the decree also hinted to me, hoping that I could go to the post lightly.

The meaning of this is obvious, the rogues in the north are much more serious than the bandits in Jiangxi, and nearly half of the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Tianxiong Army are cavalry, and only in the Central Plains can they exert their maximum combat power.

Now that we are transferring them to Jiangxi, we can't give full play to the combat power of these 30,000 soldiers and horses, so it is better to stay in Yunyang and let Hong Chengchou use them with confidence, so as not to let people say that I am Lu Xiangsheng stingy. ”

Adjutant General Tan You said: "But Marshal, we have four thousand new troops at the moment, and none of them have had military training. ”

Tan You's words stopped Lu Xiangsheng, he knew that Tan You was right, with the strength he had in his hands now to confront Mo Thief head-on, he couldn't have any chance of winning, once he sent troops, not only could he not win, but he would be defeated.

Even Huama Liu was almost wiped out by the Mo thief, what kind of person is Huama Liu, he is the chief soldier of Anqing who was sealed by the imperial court, although there are many rabbles under him, but at least three or four thousand regular soldiers are there.

The combat power of these people is not low, such an army was defeated by a group of peasant troops, so you can imagine how powerful the rebels in Yuanzhou are.

If Lu Xiangsheng is given a year to train his troops, he Lu Xiangsheng is ninety percent sure that he will be able to clear away the bandits in Jiangxi. 、

It's just a pity that Mo Qian didn't give him time for Lu Xiangsheng to train his troops, he fought this time difference, he wanted to let Lu Xiangsheng have no time to train his troops, so that he could be invincible.

At this time, Zhu Zhichen and Lin Zhen, who heard the news, also hurried over, and as soon as the two entered the governor's yamen, they said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Lord Futai, Ruizhou must not be lost, please send troops immediately!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng, who was full of sadness, saw that two high-ranking officials were coming, and asked curiously: "Two, you have also received the news of an emergency in Ruizhou?" ”

Zhu Zhichen breathlessly said: "I just received the news from my humble position, Lord Futai, Ruizhou must not be lost, we must send troops to save it!" ”

"Why is that?" Lu Xiangsheng was a little puzzled.

Zhu Zhichen explained: "Lord Futai may not know that Ruizhou is the place where the grain is stored in the granary in Jiangxi, and the official grain of the three prefectures of Yuanzhou Linjiang and Ruizhou is stored in the Ruifeng warehouse in Ruizhou.

Last year, the Mo thieves rebelled in Yuanzhou, and the grain in Yuanzhou could not be harvested, but the summer and autumn grains of Linjiang Mansion and Ruizhou Mansion were stored in Ruifeng warehouse.

Now there are 50,000 stones of rice in Ruifeng warehouse, once these grains are obtained by Mo Thief, then who else is his opponent in Jiangxi?

Furthermore, if Lord Futai does not send troops to rescue him, and if he turns back to the imperial history of the court to impeach Lord Futai and the enemy, how should the Lord answer him? ”

Zhu Zhichen's words woke up Lu Xiangsheng, who was hesitating, by the way.

Ruizhou is in a hurry, and he Lu Xiangsheng must not save him, otherwise, once the 50,000 stone grain in Ruifeng Cang is robbed by the thieves, then he, the governor of Jiangxi, will be impeached by the Yushitai madly.

The imperial historians would talk about his inaction and give him eye medicine in front of the emperor.

Although Lu Xiangsheng has a straight personality, it doesn't mean that he is stupid.

He immediately realized the key factor in this, he got up and said to Tan You: "Order troops immediately, and rush to help Gao'an tomorrow!" ”

"Yes!"

Lu Xiangsheng's side has just made plans to send troops, and Mo Qian on Gao'an's side has already begun to attack the city.

Since the construction of Gao'an City in the sixth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the history has been more than 1,800 years.

The development of the urban area has reached today, and the urban area has crossed the cotton water.

Gao'an is divided into two cities, north and south, the north city is located in the north of Mianshui, and the southern city is in the south of Mianshui.

There are two bridges connecting the two cities.

The bridge on the west side is a pontoon bridge, and the bridge on the east side is a chain bridge.

Two bridges connect the four gates of the north and south of the city.

Most of the government yamen in Beicheng, the government office, the county government, the county school, the academy, the examination shed martial arts field, etc. are all in the north city.

In the southern city, there are many residences, and there is no official yamen except for a sub-county of Gao'an County.

Mo Qian divided the 6,000-strong army into two armies, and the 3,000 troops went directly to the west gate of the northern city.

Another 3,000 men attacked the southern city in 2,000, and 1,000 people blocked the bridges in the north and south in Mianshui, cutting off the roads in the north and south.

This can frighten the prefect Tao Luzhong and the prefect Jin Rui.

When the rebels besieged the city, the two of them happened to be in the north city and the other in the south city.

Zhixian Jinrui was in Nancheng, and there were not even a hundred people around him, and when he saw that the rebel army had thousands of people, he was frightened on the spot.

He immediately sent people out of the city to cross the bridge to find Tao Luzhong to save his life, but the messenger said that the pontoon bridge was sealed and people could not cross at all.

Jin Rui stood on the city wall and looked at it, and found that there were really anti-thief soldiers in the Mianshui River blocking the two bridges.

Jin Rui shouted: "The sky is going to kill me, the sky is going to kill me!" ”
