After Li Zheng led his troops to occupy Raozhou City, the counties of Raozhou Prefecture had an order of sending troops. First, go to Fuliang County first and occupy Jingdezhen; Second, go to Dexing County again and occupy Yinshan Town.

Yinshan produces silver, originated from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties.

In the Tang and Song dynasties alone, more than 100 million taels of silver were mined, and it was called "the first mountain of silver smelting in the Tang Dynasty".

The Ming Dynasty also continued mining, but by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it was reported that the silver mines had been depleted. Dry up a ghost, the Qing Dynasty is still mining silver here!

"Phew!"

Suddenly there was a copper whistle in the mountain, which was a warning from the mountain search team.

Moreover, the first whistle came to an abrupt end, and it was obvious that a soldier of the Soshan team had been killed.

"Phew! Sigh! Sigh! ”

The rest of the mountain-searching team members followed closely to blow the whistle, and Li Zheng immediately asked people to blow the military horn and quickly stop the army between the valleys.

"Kill!"

Seeing that his tracks were exposed, the ambush soldiers in the mountains immediately killed.

These ambush soldiers are all the gentry and heroes of Dexing County, and they are recruited by the villagers and miners. There are not only miners who mine silver, but also miners who mine copper, tin and iron, and in addition to silver mines, Dexing County also has the largest open-pit copper mine in Asia!

Under Li Zheng's command, there were only 1,000 regular soldiers, 2,000 peasant soldiers, and 4,000 baggage convoys.

And those gentry are strong and armed, but there are more than 20,000 people!

There is absolutely no possibility of compromise between the two sides, especially the powerful who occupy the silver and copper mines. They colluded with eunuchs and civil officials, and even the imperial court dared to fool them. They know very well the preciousness of copper and silver mines, and Zhao Han will definitely confiscate them, this is a situation that will never die.

More than 20,000 ambush soldiers rushed down from the mountains on both sides.

Because he was discovered by the Soshan team in advance, he did not enter its intended ambush point, so he rushed over and delayed a lot of time. Li Zheng had already finished forming a formation, and he was waiting for the enemy to come and send him to death.

"Raise your bow!"

"Raise the gun!"

These ambushes were completely unruly, and they ran away halfway through the rush, coupled with the rugged terrain, they ran from east to west.

In the early stage, there were missionaries and peasant associations, who planned to go to Dexing County to preach the idea of Datong. The vicinity of the county seat was relatively smooth, but after entering the mining area, most of them were driven away, and a few were killed.

The gentry spread rumors everywhere that the Zhao thieves in Luling wanted to kill the people of Guangdexing, and then forcibly recruited peasants and miners to fight.

"Woohoo!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Bows and arrows and firearms were fired one after another, and the ambush soldiers who ran at the front were immediately frightened and scattered in all directions.

Another round of firing, more than 20,000 enemies, all of them were scattered.

They were forcibly drafted and were reluctant to fight for the gentry. If the ambush is successful, there may be enthusiasm, but if the ambush fails, then run away, and the fool is willing to fight for that money.

The mountains were all over the field, all of them were routed, and Li Zheng only captured a few hundred of them, so he ordered the pursuit to be stopped.

After the interrogation, the troops immediately divided into three ways and went to find the trouble of those gentry and heroes.

Li Zheng personally led the troops to a place, and this powerful man actually built a soil building. It's just that the house slaves all ran to set up an ambush, and there were not many people in the tulou to defend it.

Li Zheng asked people to come forward and shout: "If you surrender, you will only be punished." If you resist, kill them all! The house slave brothers inside, after you surrender, you can get a share of the land! ”

"Don't believe the nonsense of the thief, the thief will kill us all!" Haoqiang in the tulou hurriedly shouted.

"Brother houseslave, it's time to come out and divide the field! Mr. Zhao's rule is that each person can divide four acres of paddy fields. If the paddy field is not enough, two acres of dry land is counted as one acre of paddy field, and each person can be allocated eight acres of dry land! The house slaves and peasants around the capital city of Raozhou have been allocated fields. The hard-working brothers in Fuliang County are also already dividing their fields. We passed through Leping County, and Leping County is also dividing fields. Mr. Zhao was born as a domestic slave, and he will not treat you badly! ”

"Don't go out, I'll see who dares!"

“……”

The people here may not know that Raozhou is dividing the fields.

However, Leping County is next door, and the news of Leping's division of fields has more or less been spread.

The house slaves guarding the tulou will be suspicious, mainly because they dare not imagine such a good thing.

But it was enough to be suspicious, and when Li Zheng ordered an attack on Tulou, most of the house slaves were unwilling to resist.

"Kill him!"

But it was the sons of this powerful family who led people to defend all parts of the tulou.

In one of them, a house slave secretly opened the door, and the son of Haoqiang immediately ordered the killing. However, only a few henchmen made a move, and the rest of the house slaves were so frightened that they retreated.

The Datong rattan players climbed up the ladder, and there were only a few henchmen and slaves who were still resisting there, and the rest were all unable to work.

Outside the tulou, the shouting never stopped: "Slave brothers, we are all hard-working people, don't work hard for the landlord." Isn't it good to keep your life and divide the land and farm it? Hard-working people don't beat hard-working people, kill landlords, kill inferior gentry, kill heroes! Kill, all the miserable people rise up and rebel! The land is ours, and the world is ours! Kill me! ”

"Kill!"

When the Datong soldiers attacked the tulou, they immediately rebelled against the house slaves and aimed their weapons at Haoqiang and the dog's legs.

More and more house slaves rebelled, and the inside of the tulou soon began to fight, and with the first Datong soldiers, the two gates of the tulou were opened.

As soon as the gate opened, the battle was basically over, and all that remained was to hunt down and capture.

If there is anyone who resists, kill them on the spot, and all those who do not resist are tied up. This family belongs to the recalcitrant generation, all the men are arrested and mined, the women are assigned to unmarried soldiers, and the children are sent to almshouses, and at the same time, they have to reform their minds.

After the Tulou was occupied, it served as Li Zheng's temporary command post, leaving the baggage troops to garrison the Tulou.

After a brief rest, Li Zheng immediately led his troops to the next house, and this time there were many domestic slaves who surrendered to Cheng as guides.

Li Zheng had already been beaten out of anger, and he occupied Raozhou Prefecture, Fuliang County, and Leping County, but he did not encounter much resistance. This gentry of Dexing County was strong and bold, and he had killed several missionaries and members of the peasant association before, and today he killed three soldiers who searched the mountains, and killed one and wounded several in the attack on Tulou.

The second target does not have tulou, just an ordinary mansion compound.

This time, there was a house slave shouting from Toucheng, which was more convincing. The house slaves in the house quickly rebelled, killed the master and ran to open the door, and after Li Zheng finished dealing with it, he immediately ran to the third Haoqiang.

As long as it is a series of troops to set up an ambush, none of them can escape, and now it is impossible to surrender and sacrifice land, Li Zheng is going to completely sweep away the inferior gentry and powerful forces in Dexing County!

Because it is so important, there are silver mines, copper mines, iron mines, tin mines, and this place will serve as Zhao Han's coin minting center.

……

When Fei Yinghuan returned to Lead Mountain, it was snowing heavily, and it was already a cold winter.

The prefect of Guangxin is called Xie Lijing, a native of Guizhou, and a disciple of the heart of the king of Qianzhong. Historically, he belonged to the anti-Qing righteous soldiers, and was appointed as the governor of Sichuan by Sun Kewang, and after being defeated and captured, he was unyielding and died on hunger strike.

Guangxin Mansion is the farthest away from Zhao Han's territory, and it has little influence here.

Xie Lijing tried his best to help the hungry people in Zhejiang this year, but he only tried his best, and many of the hungry people starved to death, and a number of them froze to death in the winter.

Hearing that the Zhao thief was constantly expanding his territory, Xie Lijing immediately persuaded the gentry to pay for the recruitment.

A few years ago, Zhang Yinghe recruited thousands of soldiers, and the gentry of Guangxin Mansion contributed money and people. As a result, thousands of soldiers and soldiers had no news of the expedition to Jishui, and a few who ran back also spread the word that Fei Ruhe was a thief.

Now that Xie Lijing is recruiting troops again, the gentry are unwilling to toss anymore.

They will definitely not be able to defeat the Zhao thief, and the Zhejiang disaster will not be able to escape, so they can only stay in their hometown and resign themselves to fate. Especially in Leadshan County, there are many gentry who do business and open factories, and they can live even if their land and property are taken away.

Xie Lijing tossed for two months, and only recruited more than 1,000 villagers.

When the news of the occupation of Anren by the Datong Army came, the more than 1,000 villagers quickly fled to only a few hundred.

Fei Yinghuan returned home, and Fei Yuanyi was shocked: "You are a good official in Fujian, what are you doing when you come back?" The thief is coming! ”

"Father, I'm here to deal with this." Fei Yinghuan said.

Fei Yuanyi urged: "You go back to Fujian quickly, buy more land in Fujian, maybe the Fei family will have to move in the future." ”

Fei Yinghuan said: "Father, Ruhe is the second general Zhao. ”

"If ......," Fei Yuanyi said in shock, "the rumors are actually true?" Didn't you write to say that Ruhe had gone to Fujian? ”

"It's just a secret." Fei Ying Ring Road.

Fei Yuanyi asked, "Who is Mr. Luling Zhao?" ”

Fei Yinghuan replied: "Zhao Han." ”

"Zhao Han?" Fei Yuanyi trembled, he was really afraid, he had framed Zhao Han in the first place!

Fei Yinghuan said: "Immediately ask the patriarch to convene the entire Fei clan to discuss!" ”

"Okay, okay." Fei Yuanyi was surprised and delighted, surprised that Zhao Han became the leader of the anti-thief, and happy that his grandson became the number two anti-thief.

A few days later, the Datong army had occupied Guixi, only one Yiyang County away from Lead Mountain.

Henglin Fei's ancestral house, representatives of the Fei family's various branches came to the meeting.

Fei Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Fei clan, and Fei Yuanlu, the head of Hanzhu Academy, these two old men are still alive. It's just that Fei Yuanzhen is so old and decrepit, he has to be supported by a maid when he walks, and his ears are a little inaudible.

After everyone arrived, Fei Yuanzhen's teeth fell out, and he said with a full mouth: "Then the Zhao thief is coming, this thief is fierce, the officers and soldiers beat him, and I Fei Shi don't have that ability." For the sake of today's plan, we can only donate the land and keep other industries. If anyone refuses to donate the field, I am afraid that the entire Fei clan will be harmed. ”

Someone agrees, someone is unhappy.

Those who agree to donate land have businesses and factories at home. Fei originally started by doing business, and on the whole, the income from commerce and industry far exceeded the output of land.

Those who do not agree to donate land will mainly rely on land income.

"Let me say a few words." Fei Yinghuan stood up.

Those who do not agree with the donor of the land are happy, because Fei Yinghuan is the whole Fei family, and he has done the biggest job as an official. They wanted to rely on Fei Yinghuan and go to Fuxian County with floating wealth to buy property and land to become landlords again.

The land property can't be sold, and no one buys it no matter how low the price is, because they all know that Zhao Han is going to divide the land.

Fei Yinghuan said: "My first suggestion is for the Fei clan to change the patriarch. ”

What's the situation?

Everyone was a little confused when they heard it, and the patriarch Fei Yuanzhen was still smiling because he didn't know what Fei Yinghuan was talking about behind his ears.

Fei Yinghuan approached and shouted: "Luling Zhao thief, it's Zhao Han!" ”

Others didn't know who Zhao Han was, but Fei Yuanlu was dumbfounded, he was too impressed by the "Hanzhu Debate".

Fei Yuanzhen finally heard the voice this time, and continued to stroke his beard and said: "Whether it is Zhao Han or Zhao Yan, they are all surnamed Zhao, I am afraid it is the remnant of Zhao Song." ”

It was obvious that the patriarch had forgotten who Zhao Han was.

Fei Yinghuan could only shout again: "Zhao Han, Hanzhu debate, remove the student status!" ”

Zhao Han ...... Zhao ......" Fei Yuanzhen's eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly remembered the good thing he had instigated Fei Yuanyi to do.

didn't lift it in one breath, Fei Yuanzhen collapsed in his chair.

"The patriarch fainted!"
