The problem of desertion became more and more serious, and both Pan Zenghong and Yao Xi were in a hurry.

Yao Xi even personally beheaded a general who was in charge of keeping vigil on the city wall last night, and wanted to maintain military discipline in this way.

But he never thought that it would backfire, and that night, not only the low-level officers began to run away, but even the generals at the level of thousands of households took the lead in running away.

This time, more than 600 people went directly, Mo Qian did not refuse to come outside the city, as long as he went out of the city and surrendered, he would accept it, and he would definitely do what he said, and he would definitely give money if he said that he would give money.

Many of the defenders of the city received the news that the brothers who had surrendered earlier had received a silver bounty, and that the officers' bounties had been doubled.

Where could the officers and soldiers who had not paid their salaries for a long time be able to resist Mo Qian's financial offensive, but in just three days, the 5,000 defenders ran away by 20%.

As soon as Pan Zenghong and Yao Xi saw the situation, they knew that the general trend had gone, and Pan Zenghong wanted Yao Xi to ask for 30,000 taels of silver, make up the military salary for the remaining 4,000 soldiers, and give bonuses.

But Yao Xi, who has always loved money like his life, rejected this proposal on the spot, and the two broke up unhappily.

At this time, in the camp of the righteous army, a group of officers and soldiers who took the lead in going out of the city to surrender directly to Mo Qian, hoping that Mo Qian could attack the city.

Zhu Sizu, the general of the thousand households who came to surrender, said to Mo Qian: "King, now launch a siege, the defenders in the city will definitely open the city and surrender!" ”

"Why is General Zhu so sure?"

Zhu Sizu said: "The king doesn't know that many brothers in the defenders of the city have actually wanted to go out of the city and surrender a long time ago, but because their families and relatives are in the city, if they go out of the city alone, the relatives in the city will inevitably be killed by Governor Pan, so they don't go out of the city to surrender."

But if the king launched a siege, he would definitely cooperate with the opening of the door and surrender, but the king still needed to promise a small thing. ”

"What's the trifle?" Mo Qian asked with a smile.

"As long as those who surrender in Kaecheng will not remember the old sins, in this way, the defenders in the city will definitely be grateful for the king's mercy, and they will not resist!"

Mo Qian was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, according to what General Zhu said, attack the city, but there is one more thing to add, that is, the surrender of the city, and the arrears of military salaries will be paid by the governor himself!" ”

When Zhu Sizu heard this, he admired Mo Qian even more.

He knelt down on one knee and took the initiative to ask for battle: "King, I am willing to lead my subordinate brothers to take the lead!" ”

"Accurate!" Mo Qian waved his hand and agreed!

The rebels organized an attack again, Zhu Sizu personally risked the arrows, regardless of life and death, and rushed forward with a knife, and the defenders of the city were stunned for a moment when they saw that the person was Zhu Sizu.

Zhu Sizu took the opportunity to shout: "Brother Guanjun, I am Zhu Sizu Qianhu, King Mo said, those who surrender in Kaicheng will not correct their crimes, and the military salary will be made up, brothers, what kind of life do you sell for those dog officials, King Mo is benevolent, open the city gate quickly, let us enter the city!" ”

Several generals defending the city in the city saw that the person who came was their old partner, and they immediately began to hesitate in their hearts.

Several thousands of households looked at Yao Xi and Pan Zenghong, who were commanding on the point platform.

"Brothers, what do you want to do?" One of the thousand households asked the others.

"What should I do, the future of wealth is in front of me, if you don't surrender, will you follow these two dog officials to death? If there is a kind, come with me, tie up those two dog officials, and surrender in Kaesong! Qianhu Chen Shizhong directly showed his knife.

"Okay, since Brother Chen is willing, brother, I will accompany you, let's go!"

The three Qianhu brought more than 100 of their subordinates to the point general platform located in the center of the southern city wall.

Pan Zenghong and Yao Xi saw this group of people coming over fiercely, and immediately had a bad premonition.

Yao Xi scolded the three of them: "Chen Qianhu, what are you doing here? Want to rebel? ”

Chen Shizhong said with a dark face: "Lord Yao, my brothers have not been paid for almost a year, but Lord Yao has been living a chic life all day, the concubines in the family have married nine rooms, and the glorious gift has been given to more than a dozen cars, Lord Yao, the brothers now want to borrow the heads of you and Master Pan to use to give thousands of our brothers a future, you two should not object, right?" ”

"Are you really going to rebel?" Pan Zenghong had an iron face, and his tone was scared and angry.

"Damn, the emperor is still hungry soldiers, you two dog officials embezzle military salaries, embarrassed, Lao Tzu has long wanted to eliminate harm for the people, come here, chop them off for me, and cut off their heads!"

More than 100 loyal subordinates brandished knives and killed them, and the soldiers around Pan Yao and the others hurriedly resisted with knives, but the disparity in numbers was too great, and more than 30 soldiers died after a while.

Chen Shizhong took two heads and sent orders to the whole city, and soon stabilized the situation in the city.

After getting the military power, Chen Shizhong and the three of them opened the city gate with their heads in their hands, and the three of them personally went out of the south gate of the town to greet the rebels.

After five days of siege, Ganzhou was successfully taken.

After the capture of Ganzhou Mansion, Nankang County, Nan'an Prefecture in the south, learned the news, and without waiting for the righteous army to kill, the magistrate personally came to Ganzhou with the print to beg for surrender.

Mo Qian accepted the surrender very happily, and sent someone to send a message that as long as the Southern Jiangxi region surrendered, he would not be killed.

When the rest of the counties in Southern Jiangxi heard that Ganzhou had been broken, they knew that the resistance had become futile, and Mo Qian also very skillfully used the name of the governor of Jiangnan, this official position is at least officially canonized, and the rest of the counties surrendered directly without saying a word.

Half a month later, the entire territory of Southern Jiangxi was pocketed by Mo Qian, and only the Yangmingshan bandits in the middle of Dayu County and Chongyi County were left in the whole Southern Jiangxi region.

Hades always took more than 4,000 bandits to hide in Yangming Mountain, and Hades always wanted to take advantage of Mo Qian and the official army to fight under Ganzhou City for a few months, and then he took advantage of the weakness to enter.

Unexpectedly, the rebel army took Ganzhou in only five days, and took the entire territory of Ganzhou and Nan'an in 20 days.

Hades immediately realized that the next target of the rebels would be himself, and he immediately returned to his lair with four thousand bandits.

Taking Nangan, of course Mo Qian would not let go of a group of bandits in his rear, he ordered that the 30,000 army set off in four or three ways.

All the way from Chongyi County to the south, all the way from Dayu County to the north, all the way from Ganzhou City to the west.

The three-way army directly surrounded Yangmingshan, and the five bandit leaders heard that the army had arrived in Yangmingshan, and then they knew that King Mo was not easy to mess with.

The five leaders held a meeting in the cottage, and the pig woman was the first to jump out and say: "Big brother, I just said that this King Mo is not something to mess with, I heard from the businessmen in the past, people now occupy half of the territory in the south of the Yangtze River, the army below is more than 100,000, we are only 4,000 brothers, how can it be his opponent."

It's okay if we go directly to him, at least each of our brothers can mix a thousand households, this is good, the cottage is surrounded, we will definitely die this time. ”

The maid on the side was always unhappy when she heard this, he said: "Hmph, the third child, you don't want to rely on the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige, our Yangmingshan is high and dense, and his surname Mo is not familiar with our terrain, if he wants to destroy us, I am afraid that he can break his teeth!" ”

"What do you mean, old five, if you didn't pick up the eldest brother to see the surnamed Mo, hoping that he would follow us in Ganzhou, would the surnamed Mo be able to send tens of thousands of troops to fight us?"

"Yo, according to what you mean, it's all my fault, if we don't go to him, he won't come to beat us, right, third child, I'm afraid you're not kicked in the head by a donkey, right?"

"Holy shit, you dare to scold me!"

"What are you scolding, you want to fight, come on!"

"Come on, let's go outside to compete, whoever doesn't dare to go is the grandson!"

"Grass, it seems that our cottage is going to have one less leader, go, go out with me!"

With a bang, Hades slashed off a corner of the table.

"Have you had enough of the noise? If you don't make enough trouble, you will continue to quarrel, the enemy is now, and you are still arguing here, and the mud can't support the wall. ”

After saying this, the maid and the pig were both blushing instantly.

The fourth knife always stood up and said: "Okay, we have been brothers for more than ten years, can we use knives and guns, now we are discussing how to defend the cottage, if the surname Mo really hits, we have to finish playing!" ”

"What is there to discuss, the soldiers will block, the water will come to cover the earth, the surname Mo dares to come, I will fight with him with a knife!"

"Okay, then let's do it, brothers!"

"Its profits are broken!"

.....

At the foot of Yangming Mountain, Mo Qian looked at the peak at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, and listened to Zhu Sizu's explanation.

"Wang, this Yangming Mountain is not called Yangmingshan, Zhengde Dynasty, Wang Yangming exterminated the bandits in this mountain, and established Chongyi County, in order to commemorate Mr. Wang Yangming's achievements in this place, the local people will call this mountain Yangmingshan."

Mo Qian nodded after listening, "I didn't expect that Mr. Yangming actually came to suppress the bandits, and the governor admired Mr. Yangming very much." ”

An officer and soldier on the side, Qianhu, hurriedly interjected and said: "Mr. Yangming is here to suppress bandits, bringing peace to Nanjiang for nearly a hundred years, and now the king is also suppressing bandits in this mountain, and he will definitely be able to bring peace." ”

This sycophant shot was very well placed, which made Mo Qian a little happy.

Mo Qian didn't bother to blame this general, but turned his mind to business.

"How many bandits are there in this Yangmingshan?"

"Back to the king's words, there are less than 5,000 people, these people were scattered in other mountains before, and somehow, they all gathered in this Yangming Mountain."

"It's not good, we don't have to go to find it one mountain after another, and this time we will directly catch it all!" Yi Jiu, who was standing behind Mo Qian, was eager to try.

Mo Qian glanced at the generals, he originally wanted to hand over the task of attacking the mountain to a few generals who surrendered, so as to see their military qualities.

But after seeing Yi Jiu's expectant eyes, Mo Qian wavered.

Recently, Mo Qian has heard a lot of rumors in the army, saying that the general Yi Jiu is the oldest qualified general, and now the other three generals are sitting in the position of the general soldier, and even Gong Chengkang, who came later, has also become the general soldier, but Yi Jiu is still only a general.

Mo Qian knew that this was Yi Jiu's hope that he would give him a chance.

On this expedition, I was able to bring Yi Jiu to this expedition, just to promote this veteran.

Mo Qian stared at Yi Jiu and said, "Brother Jiu, the main task of attacking the mountain is handed over to you!" ”

When Yi Jiuyi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Xie Dashuai, don't worry, don't kill these bandits, Lao Jiu has no face to come to see Dashuai!"

At midnight, the mountain attack operation officially began.

The army launched an attack from the southeast, south, and northwest of Yangmingshan at the same time, and more than 30,000 troops spread all over the mountains, shouting and killing shook the leaves on the trees one after another.

As the main attacker, Yi Jiu led his three thousand brothers, rushed upwards as if they were not killed, killing all the way from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and connecting the bandits to seven checkpoints.

Although there are more than 4,000 bandits in Yangmingshan, to put it bluntly, they are actually a group of rabble, and their combat effectiveness is at least eight grades lower than that of the rebels.

Even the recruits of the New Sixth Battalion can kill all the way to the top of the mountain, and the group of bandits they fight are holding their heads and running away.

Hades and the other five people thought that they could still rely on the steep mountain peak to block the attack of the rebels, but they didn't expect that as soon as they made contact, the four thousand men and horses were in chaos.

The battle lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, and more than half of the four thousand bandits were killed and wounded, and the girl who had the most arrogant attitude before the fight was always frightened by the terrifying combat power of the rebels.

The rebels were a small group of five people, some specialized in killing, and some specialized in beheading, and the maid was always terrified.

The Ganzhou officers and soldiers who fought with them before were not worthy of carrying shoes for the righteous army.

At the beginning of the day, Yangmingshan all fell into the hands of the rebels, and the five bandit leaders were all arrested except for the knife and Fantian, and the other three were all captured.

The three of them were tied up and caught in front of Mo Qian, looking at the three who had become captives, Mo Qian smiled and said, "Three bosses, what else do you have to say?" ”

The boss Yama always spat at Mo Qian and said: "If you become a king or lose a villain, you can kill if you want to, why bother with it!" ”

The spit stuck to Mo Qian's shoes, and Mo Qian was immediately annoyed.

"Take it down, and behead it in Ganzhou at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon!"

The bandits who had plagued Ganzhou for decades were wiped out by the righteous army, and the people of Southern Jiangxi couldn't help but run to tell each other.

The remaining sporadic bandits, after learning the fate of the king of Hades and others, immediately changed into the clothes of the people, returned to the village, and began to farm honestly.

After the execution of the bandits, Mo Qian began to carry out land reform in Ganzhou.

Juntian Ce was posted in the four gates of each county, and Mo Qian also began to arrange local officials, from the town mayor to the magistrate, as well as a set of judicial teams, all of which had to be established as soon as possible.

As soon as Juntian Ce was announced, it instantly caused a sensation in the southern Jiangxi region, and the people reported to the local government one after another, saying how many fields and how many industries a certain landlord's family had.

The local officials were puzzled, and they couldn't imagine that the people of Southern Jiangxi were so enthusiastic.

After inquiring, I learned that the people of Nanjiang were living too hard, and Nangan was a mountainous area, and almost all the land was in the hands of a few landlords.

And there is a layer of contractors under the landlords, these people are called tenants, ordinary people farming and collecting grain, they have been exploited by the landlords, and now they have to be taken away by the contractors.

Therefore, there are many people in Ganzhou who work as farmers to farm during the day, and become bandits who block the road at night.

Why, it's just that the poor can't get by!

After Mo Qian learned of this situation, he immediately ordered that all the tenants and landlords should hand over the land and grain within three days, and if they did not pay, the whole family would be beheaded!
