Chapter 158: Chaos

After the city was broken, the soldier Cao Changhou Zheng rushed into the temple to find Zhang Ju, who was too guarded, and learned that Zhang Ju had gone from the west gate with four hundred old soldiers.

He couldn't take care of his wife and children at home and the money and silk of the full treasury, so he hurriedly went to chase Zhang Ju and wanted to go with him. But suddenly, a group of prisoners stopped Xicheng Street, and they were looking for a county official with a ribbon there, and they would be stabbed when they found it.

When the city was broken, the sword and pen officials and guards who were in charge of guarding the prison temple were crushed, and then these prisoners smashed the wooden flail and fled. Many of these prisoners were good, and many of them could not pay the substitute money, so they were sent to the prison temple by the soldier Cao Chang, and then tortured by those pickled county officials, who were now full of anger and vowed to take revenge on those pig and dog swordsmen.

As soon as the soldier Cao Changhou was stopped by these people, he immediately turned his horse's head and hid in a treasury on the side of the street. This place is a treasury, and not long after Hou Zheng hid in it, these prisoners smashed the door and broke in.

At this moment, Hou Zheng had hanged himself on the beam in the warehouse, but the prisoners who were anxious carried him out of the street, and divided the body of this man in the street, and some of them were red-eyed, and even ate his flesh.

And Li Xiang, the county lieutenant who guarded the city, was originally guarding the tower of the east city, but later the gate of the east city was broken, and he retreated to the county guard with the rout, and he wanted to continue to resist. And Wang Zhangbu, who had already rushed into the city, happened to be attacking the county guard, seeing this person running with a rout, looking at his seal, he knew that he was a main general, and immediately besieged and killed this bureaucracy, and his head was also sent to Zhang Chong to report his merits.

When Zhang Ju's secretary Shi Bianwei was in the city, he came to Zhuge Jue and wanted to take him out with him. Taishou Zhang Ju has already loaded the car in Taishou Mansion and is about to flee from the West City Gate. Bian Wei remembered Zhuge Jue, and hurriedly ran over, so he wanted to take him with him.

But Zhuge Jue directly refused Bian Wei's invitation, in addition to giving Bian Wei his own Zhang's book sticker and letting him escape for his life, while he was still in the office and planned to be loyal.

Bian Wei was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and was about to persuade again, when he heard the footsteps outside, he didn't dare to stay longer, and ran over the wall to Zhang Ju's convoy, and then ran away from the West City Gate together.

The footsteps outside the office are indeed Taishan soldiers, this group of soldiers is a Shi belonging to Jinquan, at this moment, under the leadership of their generals, they are searching for the Juncheng Temple, and they will give a knife when they see the soldiers.

In the end, Zhuge Jue held the sword and killed it, shouting as he ran:

"Don't kill my subordinates, my Han Zhuge Jungong is also."

When the Nash saw that the county official was holding the army, he was about to squeeze the seal to death, and the local guide was heard shouting:

"Gao Tou, this is a good officer."

Then Nashi's knife stopped in front of Zhuge Jue's neck, and if he was one step too late, this good official would really fall to the ground.

Zhuge Jue was also frightened, but then he was ashamed of his fear, and he raised his sword again to stab this general, and then the sword was knocked off by the other side, and then he was tied up, and then he was tied, and he heard that the general said:

"I haven't tied up a good official yet, have I? It is also our gift to give this good official to Qu. ”

Zhuge Jue was tied up here, and the other Cao chiefs of the various offices were either disguised and disguised, or hid in the people's houses, or hanged themselves in the room, or were killed with soldiers, in short, there were more than 100 officials in the Cao Mansion, and there was not one in ten.

And in this process, Zhang Chongjun's offensive continued. When Wang Zhang captured the office, Li Damu fell to the west city, Dian Wei took the south city, and Ding Sheng took the east city. Zhang Chong ordered the heavy soldiers to cook food outside the city, and each batch was sent to the city, and then the various departments took turns to eat.

It is precisely thanks to the abundant and timely military food, after the soldiers are full, they have maintained a fierce offensive, and finally in the afternoon of this day, the whole city of Fenggao City was occupied by the Taishan army.

After capturing Xiafenggao, Zhang Chong ordered all the troops outside the city to enter the city, and suppressed the possible Haoqiang to make a rebellion. The stations of each ministry are as follows:

Zhang Chong's headquarters was stationed in the county office, Guan Yu's headquarters was stationed in the county governor's office, the baggage battalion was stationed in Sucang, the Shengku Yousi was stationed in the Qianku, in addition, Wang Zhang moved his army to the arsenal, Li Damu was stationed in Xicheng, Dian Wei was stationed in Nancheng, Ding Sheng was stationed in Dongcheng, and Chen Huan was stationed in Beicheng.

After entering the city, Zhang Chong immediately blocked the four people, and was not allowed to kill the people in vain, and at the same time ordered all departments to restrain the army and strictly defend their own jurisdiction. The baggage team remade rice and sent it to the various departments. When the soldiers had eaten enough, they seldom fainted and disturbed the people. After that, the first night of entering the city ended under the watchful eye of the generals.

In the early morning of the second day of entering the city, Zhang Chong ordered another order, and Shi Fan Chang signed a document by the secretary of the office, and the whole city stopped killing. In the event of an enemy, all units could not kill privately, and they were all handed over to the newly established military court Cao, and the new Cao chief Zhao Da was tried for trial. In addition, in order to prevent the traitors and evil parties from setting fires, all departments took responsibility to cooperate with the residents of the Lishe to prevent fires, and quickly set up a capable patrol team to deal a heavy blow to the evil parties cruising in the city.

When the new order was issued, all ministries followed the order. Since entering the city, all the departments have not broken into the people's shops, and they all live on the long street, even at night. However, the baggage team has already sent overnight firewood and grass cutting for each department, which can withstand the cold of the night.

So when the people in the city woke up in the early morning, they saw these so-called thieves sleeping on the streets like this, and they would rather sleep on the grass than enter the people's houses.

The military discipline of the Taishan Army was not cultivated in a day. If discipline is to be deepened, the backbone must take the lead. At this point, the backbone military officials of all departments support Qu Kui and respect the cause of the Taishan Army from the heart. They are generally the same as Zhang Chong, they are all from poor families, either from Shanliao or bankrupt peasants, and they can accept Zhang Chong's military discipline from their hearts.

Don't disturb the people, don't demolish houses, don't rob millet. The poor do not rob the poor.

As for the vast number of Taiping soldiers, they have the constraints of their respective military officials, so they can put an end to the violation of discipline, and more importantly, because of the implementation of the sacred treasury system, these soldiers have clothes and food, everyone is the same, everyone is warm, and there is no incentive to risk punishment to rob the people.

Since ancient times, those who have not been strict in military discipline have been deliberately indulged in by generals, mostly because the army lacks food, and when people are hungry, they are not people, they are animals, and animals are not reasonable and rational. This is also since entering the city, Zhang Chong has issued two orders in a row to let the baggage team make food for the whole army, in order to ensure that military discipline can be implemented.

Since Zhang Chong entered the city, he has repeatedly issued orders to enforce strict military discipline, and indeed achieved great results. Not only did the four people quickly settle down, but later the baggage team recruited the lonely people in the city to repair the city wallings, and after the first batch of people who entered the recruitment really received money and food, the rest of the people were enthusiastic to recruit.

At this time, the people of the whole city did not welcome the Taishan army that entered the city, and at least did not oppose it.

Originally, Zhao Da, the head of the military law, also suggested that in order to facilitate control, the people of the whole city should be trained to train the Shiwu, five households and one army, and ten households and one tithe. In this way, each household can manage and supervise each other.

Zhang Chong thought about it and refused, their Taishan soldiers had only entered the city, and it was not appropriate to be too disciplined by the people, which would arouse disgust. Moreover, there is a shortage of civil servants at present, and it is not practical to organize a military force for the whole city.

Zhang Chong looked at Zhao Da's position on the people, and secretly said in his heart that it was no wonder that Qin II died.

Zhang Chong knew in his heart that it was very simple to quickly stabilize the people, that is, if you don't interfere with their normal life, they can continue to live, and they won't care who is in charge. Therefore, when Gaozu entered the customs, it was only three chapters of the law, which stabilized the people's hearts.

But Zhang Chong does not intend to let the people lock themselves up and live their own lives, in his governing philosophy, in the future, he will carry out a series of reforms to the four people, which is a toss for the people, but if this day is not tossed, it will not be good.

But now there is no hurry, before the foundation of mutual trust between the Taishan army and the people is completely established, do not do anything superfluous, and the more you do it, the more wrong it is.

After pacifying the people, the second major thing Zhang Chong did when he entered the city was to torture and enrich the holy treasury.

After Zhang Chong entered the city, he collected millions of money, 600,000 stones of grain, 400 horses from the treasury of Fenggao, and seized countless ordnance, including 300 collars of large armor and 1,000 leather armors.

And now that the city is settled, Zhang Chong plans to torture Haoqiang. Zhang Chong has his own set of strategies for torture. First of all, it is natural to seize the money and grain from the government treasury, and because the county officials are losers, they have nothing to say about confiscating their family property. But for Haoqiang, this torture must be specifically different.

If you torture all of them, you are making an extreme mistake. At the beginning of the uprising, if you don't distinguish between the powerful and powerful, then when the early strength is still very weak, you will retreat some of the forces that can be fought for to the enemy, weaken yourself, and strengthen the enemy.

Therefore, Zhang Chong gave the torture team three standards, the one with a bad reputation, the richest, and someone in the family who did 2,000 stones, in short, the above three categories were all things that Zhang Chong couldn't win over, so he was naturally the enemy.

Then the torture team under the leadership of Hu's mother's family and the other four Haoqiang children anyway, went to each house to check according to these three articles, and if they did not meet the above three standards, they would give a yellow flag with the word "good" written on it, meaning that the rest of the teams should not disturb.

But this "goodness" flag is not given in vain, and each family who receives this flag will have to pay a tribute of 100,000 yuan. The 100,000 yuan is not necessarily money, but can also be offset by other gold and silver, millet and corn, chickens and ducks, and large livestock. Then those who have a bad reputation and are resentful of the poor households around them will be tortured.

As for the poor and lonely leaders in the city, the Taishan army still set up recruitment flags in various urban areas, and the strong entered the camp as soldiers, and the weak entered the old camp under the heavy camp, responsible for winning food. Moreover, regardless of the old and weak, their families were recruited into the camp and set up a separate battalion to be raised by the army.

One more thing, the family scrolls of the Fenggao battalion soldiers who died outside the city, after the city was broken, except for a few who were frightened and hanged themselves, the rest were taken over by the Taishan army, and then raised as before.

Qu Kui Zhang Chong said that although Fenggaoying is an enemy, they are all good men, and the children of good men cannot be abused like pigs and dogs, so they must be raised and told that their parents died like this. Tell them that for the sake of their lives, their fathers chose to charge and die.

What is the road on the battlefield, and the country knows Xu Guo with heavy spirits and light life.

But do you know the ribbons? Alas!
