241 [Attack the heart first]

Changsha Mansion City.

Yang Guanji, the county governor of Changsha, is supervising the construction of the urn city. Changsha used to have urn cities, but there were only four gates, and now there are a few more.

In the face of Jiangxi thieves, the city defense must be strengthened!

"Ji Chang," the prefect Wang Qisheng walked quickly, and said with a stern face, "Jiangxi Zhao thief has already sent troops to attack Huguang. Liling fell, and Liuyang was besieged. ”

Liling County and Liuyang County are under the jurisdiction of Changsha Prefecture and are the east gate of Changsha.

Yang Guanji asked, "What is that Governor of Hunan doing?" ”

"Raise money and grain in Yuezhou and Changde, and call on the gentry to start group exercises," Wang Qisheng said, "Governor Wang asked the Changsha gentry to also hold group exercises, and this matter will be entrusted to Ji Chang." As for supervising the construction of the urn city, it is enough to leave it to someone else. ”

Yang Guanji sighed in his heart, hugged his fists and said, "Do your best." ”

After handing over the affairs of the Wengcheng construction site, Yang Guanji immediately went out of the city and went to the countryside to connect with the gentry and wealthy families, to be honest, he wanted to be a thief at the moment.

Wang Qisheng, the prefect of Changsha, and Yang Guanji, the prefect of Changsha, are actually fellow scholars.

Yang Guanji's family was poor since he was a child, and whenever his family lacked food, his mother took him to his grandfather's house to eat, and he was discriminated against by his aunt and cousins since he was a child. But he studied very hard, and he was admitted to the Jinshi at a young age, but unfortunately he had no money to bribe the officials of the ministry.

Dignified Jinshi, who was appointed as the governor of Rugao County, just arrived in Rugao to take office, and was inexplicably demoted to the governor of Guangxin Prefecture.

He didn't offend anyone, didn't have time to speak, and didn't have time to do things, so he was demoted from the seventh-rank magistrate to the nineth-rank governor. There is only one possibility, such as the position of Gaozhi County, which was bought at a high price, and his genuine Jinshi must give way.

Tossed so far, he has been transferred several times, and he is still a seven-grade county, and his fellow scholar is already the prefect.

The hard work is all done by Yang Guanji, but the credit is someone else's.

Yang Guanji went straight to Shaping Village to meet the gentry Tao. The locals call it "Tao Rotten Valley", which means that the Tao family's rice is so much that it rots in the warehouse. The slaves at home and the tenants who farmed for them added up to tens of thousands.

The family is at a funeral, and the patriarch Tao Tianrong has just passed away.

Yang Guanji went to mourn, he was a poor man and couldn't afford to give expensive gifts, so he simply went to the mourning hall with his empty hands to offer incense.

That night, he called Tao Bangxian and Tao Bangyong brothers out of the mourning hall to discuss the group training.

Before he could speak, Tao Bangxian said: "County Zun, Changsha has built an urn city, and Tao has donated a thousand taels of silver. The imperial court has increased the assignment several times, and the Tao family has also apportioned the heaviest, is it difficult to let the Tao family pay again? ”

"No, no," Yang Guanji was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty has a will, the squire can hold a group exercise, just go to the prefect to report, and you can recruit troops to suppress thieves by yourself." ”

Tao Bangyong immediately refused: "The Tao family can only study, not fight." ”

Yang Guanji persuaded him: "The Jiangxi Zhao thief has captured Liling and surrounded Liuyang, and will soon hit the side of Fucheng." This thief wants to divide the property of a large number of fields, and the tens of thousands of acres of land of the Tao family are in danger! ”

Tao Bangxian arched his hand and said: "County honor, please go back, the Tao family will not recruit troops to fight!" ”

Tao Bangyong also got up to make a gesture, and the two brothers stopped talking and returned to the mourning hall together to keep a vigil for their father.

"Alas!"

Yang Guanji shook his head helplessly, so he could only give up, and went to find other big families the next day.

The Tao brothers, who had eight sons and several daughters, quietly discussed the matter of being a thief. The two unmarried daughters can marry the officials under the command of Zhao Thief. The eight sons, as long as they are adults, can be sent to Zhao Thief to become officials.

As for the tens of thousands of acres of land at home, they will be divided, as long as they can save their lives.

Why is it so neat?

Because during the Wanli period alone, more than 20 peasant uprisings broke out in southern Shonan. As long as the peasant army hits Changsha, it will definitely take the Tao family.

In the entire Tao family, in the early years of the Apocalypse, only four grandchildren were left with the male man. After many wars, the Tao family's more than 100,000 acres of land are now only tens of thousands of acres.

The Tao family has been killed and is extremely sensitive to wind and grass.

Now, the number of males in the family has multiplied to ten, and it is very likely that the clan will be wiped out if they are slaughtered again, so they must find a strong backer.

They sent people to Jiangxi last year to observe Zhao Han's policy towards the big clan. The situation made them very happy, Jiangxi Zhao thieves actually only needed the land, let alone robbing money and killing people, and even the grain in the warehouse would not be robbed.

"Father, uncle," said Tao Aizhi, the eldest son of the long house, "since you have decided to join Mr. Zhao, why don't you take the opportunity to make a great contribution?" ”

Tao Bangxian asked, "How to make meritorious service?" ”

Tao Aizhi said: "According to Nazhi County, the Tao family pays for group training, and when the time comes, you can lead the troops to fight back!" ”

Tao Aizhi was born in the early years of the Apocalypse, when there were only four grandchildren left in the Tao family, and he was born as a new generation of only seedlings. Therefore, he was named "Aizhi", trained strictly from an early age, hired famous teachers to teach, and sent him to Yuelu Academy to study. Although he is only 18 years old this year, he is also well-informed and resourceful.

Tao Bangxian and Tao Bang glanced at each other, but they had palpitations and were particularly afraid of the war.

Tao Bangyong said: "The military is dangerous, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it, it is better to wait at home to divide the field." For today's top priority, it is a few of your brothers, Duo Dona concubine to have children, so that the Tao family Ding will prosper. ”

Tao Aizhi said indignantly: "Uncle, the little nephew is only eighteen years old. The second and third brothers are sixteen years old, and the fourth brother is only fifteen years old. Yinghua young man, just making meritorious contributions, how can he be obsessed with women? ”

Tao Bangxian's expression was a little frightened, and he sighed and said, "You are young, and you don't know the dangers of war. Decades ago, there were more than 200 men in the Tao family. In your great-grandfather's generation alone, there were thirteen brothers in the main clan. And there were eleven brothers of the same branch of your grandfather's generation. But there have been civil unrests and countless killings, and my father saw my uncles and uncles killed. The female relatives of the family were insulted many times, and even abused to death! ”

Tao Bangyong also said: "The most dangerous time, the thieves came too quickly. My mother and I jumped into the manure tank and soaked in the dung all day, crawling with maggots, before escaping in the middle of the night. ”

Tao Aizhi has never experienced those, and he is young and vigorous, and he said categorically: "Father, uncle, why has the Tao family suffered so many misfortunes?" All because of the corruption of the imperial court, the officials forced the people to rebel, resulting in civil unrest. Now that Mr. Zhao has raised troops, Jiangxi has been greatly governed, and there has been no more civil unrest, and this is the hero who pacified the troubled times. Since my Tao family is determined to belong to it, not only to donate the soil, but also to take the opportunity to make great contributions. Yu Gong, for the people to make a life; For private purposes, my Tao family can be rich again! How can you miss such an opportunity? The eldest husband was born in troubled times, does he still have to steal his life and enjoy himself in the house with the woman all day long? ”

"Bang!"

The door was pushed open, and three teenagers entered.

But it is Tao Bangxian's second son Tao Weizhi, Tao Bang's eldest son Tao Yunfeng and second son Tao Aifeng, the youngest is only fifteen years old.

"Father, uncle (uncle) please recruit troops!"

The three teenagers knelt on the ground together.

Tao Aizhi also knelt down: "Please ask my father and uncle to recruit soldiers!" ”

The brothers were worried and happy at the same time. I am worried that I am afraid of the soldiers and will be in trouble, and I am happy that my sons are ambitious.

A few days later, the Tao family sent people to the city to report, and the prefect and the county were very surprised. In October, the Tao family recruited more than 4,000 soldiers, led by the four brothers Tao Aizhi, Tao Weizhi, Tao Yunfeng, and Tao Aifeng.

……

Liuyang.

Li Zheng was extremely depressed at this time, and sent four troops to southern Hunan, Huang Qi conquered Liling, Liu Zhu conquered Chaling, and Zhang Tieniu conquered Yuxian, only he was blocked under Liuyang City.

Feng Zuwang, the magistrate of Liuyang, although he has been promoted to a different place, the township courage he has trained is still there. Although the new magistrate has no ability, he also knows how to delegate power and hand over Xiangyong to Wang Hui to command.

Wang Hui did not come out of the city, and the hot oil, gold juice, rolling wood, and falling rocks were all ready, and the county seat of Liuyang was impeccable.

You can't storm it!

Feng Zuwang, the former magistrate of the county, not only trained the township bravery, but also repaired and strengthened the county seat.

This Feng Zuwang, who didn't learn from his father Feng Menglong, why did he come to get involved in the military?

Li Zheng looked at the city and was helpless, so he could only hope for reinforcements from the siege, but Changsha did not send reinforcements.

"Attack the city for the top, attack the heart for the bottom." Xiao Zongxian reminded.

Li Zheng asked, "How to attack the heart?" ”

Xiao Zongxian said: "The missionaries and the peasant association were ordered to first divide the fields among the families of the villagers in the city, and then let these families go outside the city to shout. If they could not find their families, they gave them their neighbors. ”

Li Zheng suddenly woke up and said with great joy: "Good plan!" ”

Make a plan and act now.

A few days later, hundreds of peasants who had been assigned to the fields crossed the moat in small boats.

"Don't shoot arrows, I see my dad!"

"My third uncle is also here, don't shoot arrows."

“……”

The guard general Wang Hui was suddenly shocked and angry, he was born in a big landlord family, his family has tens of thousands of acres of land, and he has already brought his family to the city in advance.

However, most of the villagers under his command came from small landlords, homesteaders, and some tenants.

With these hundreds of peasants outside the city, he really didn't dare to order archery, otherwise the army would definitely be in chaos.

A yeoman farmer shouted, "Brother Run, I'm your father." Our family's land has not been divided, and there are more than 20 acres. There are paddy fields, there are dry fields, and there are mountains! Don't fight for the government anymore, surrender quickly and be Mr. Zhao's soldier! ”

Another tenant burst into tears and cried, "Stone, our family has a field, and our family has a field!" There is no need to farm for the landlord anymore, our family has our own field, go home and farm quickly! ”

"Ryoko, I'm your uncle. Your father left early, and you brothers have lived a hard life since childhood. Go home quickly, your mother has divided the field, and you will quickly divide the family and the field! ”

"Big brother, I'm little sister. Women can also divide the field, and my father and mother will let you go home quickly! ”

“……”

As soon as the shouts were made, the defenders were all silent, listening intently to what the city was saying.

Wang Hui only felt cold, how could there be such a war?

He looked at the soldiers around him, except for the children of the big clan, everyone else began to be restless, and their faces were full of yearning.

How can this still be warn?

As long as they shout for two or three days, the thieves don't need to attack the city at all, and the defenders themselves will run out of more than half of them, and they may even directly open the door to surrender the city.

Wang Hui walked towards another section of the city wall, and said expressionlessly: "County Zun, borrow your head for use." ”

Zhixian's expression was frightened, and before he could beg for mercy, he was hacked to death by Wang Hui.

"Kaesong!"

Wang Hui carried the head of the county magistrate and led the townsman out of the city to surrender, this battle couldn't be fucking at all.

Li Zheng brought his troops over and said with a smile: "You are the guard general Wang Hui?" It's good to lead troops, so follow me to fight in the future. ”

"I am willing to die for Mr. Zhao!" Wang Hui knelt on one knee.

Wang Hui had only killed thieves from Jiangxi before, and his hands had not been stained with the blood of Datong soldiers. Moreover, all the soldiers under his command are the children of his hometown, and it is impossible for him to kill people in his hometown indiscriminately.

In addition to being born in a big family, he must be divided, and there is no other contradiction with Zhao Han.

Most of the Xiangyong under Wang Hui were sent home, leaving only 1,000 people as a grain transportation team. For the time being, there is no formal establishment, and it is only a temporary recruitment of grain transport auxiliaries.

After a short rest, Li Zheng sent someone to report Huang Mi's victory and discuss the next battle plan.

At this moment, Huang Qi had already left Liling, captured Lukou Town (Zhuzhou), and blocked the main water and land transportation routes.

When the news of the friendly army came, Huang Qi immediately ordered Li Zheng to go and harass Changsha. As for himself, he led his troops to Xiangtan, as long as Xiangtan was taken, he could besiege Changsha with Li Zheng.

While Lee was waiting for an order, he suddenly caught a "spy".

The "spy" knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The general spares his life, the villain is the house slave of the Shaping Tao family." My master has recruited thousands of soldiers, and as long as the generals arrive, they will inevitably fight back. If the general doesn't believe it, after arriving in Changsha, he can first go to Shaping to divide the fields, where the fields are owned by Tao. ”

Li Zheng will be suspicious, and there are big landlords who take the initiative to ask for the division of land?

(Penguin Boss's Silver Alliance will continue to be added in the future.) )
