The entire riot in Yuanmou County lasted for two days and two nights.

At the most dangerous time, the county government was breached, and the lobby was washed away.

But for two days and two nights, the rioters did not approach the cell door.

Throughout the course of the riots, more than half of the people in the county were involved.

Coupled with the crowds from the neighboring towns, there are more than 60,000 people concentrated in the entire Yuanmou County.

The riot continued until noon on the third day, and all the people in the city who were guarding their duties had been secretly removed from the city, and the last moment came.

After sitting in the West Flower Hall for two days and two nights, the military advisor Wan Lian, although his eyes were red, his spirit was not reduced, which made Zhang Yuxiu, who was also a scholar, admire him so much.

Qiu Boming hurriedly ran in from outside and shouted, "Strategist: After receiving the message from the golden eagle, no one has entered the city for two hours. ”

Wan Lian waved his hand: "Close the city gate!" Order the tiger squat cannon on the city wall to open fire, and no one who enters the city will have to live." ”

"Really killed?" Zhang Yuxiu still didn't believe it.

"Of course!" Wan Lian nodded affirmatively.

"Don't you think it's hurting the heavens?" Zhang Yuxiu's eyes twitched.

Destroying an old system and establishing a new order is a necessary process, and no one can stop it. Without killing these people, those slaves would never have been able to really stand upright. ”

Wan Lian took a breath, then leaned back in his chair: "This is the price of change, and it is also the trend of history. Peaceful evolution is all a fool's dream. Someone has to be a butcher, so start with me, from Yuanmou County. ”

Shaking his head, Zhang Yuxiu was a little discouraged: "Put it on me, I can't do it." ”

"That's why Ibikui has lived so long. Wan Lian had already closed his eyes, and it seemed that he was really tired: "If it were me here, Wu Bikui and his son would have been dead a long time ago, and those slaves would have died at least 100,000 less." Wait until tomorrow, when everything is clean, and that's when you can show off your skills, isn't it?"

Zhang Yuxiu was also a little helpless: "You are a butcher, and you will leave after killing people." Then I will be the savior, and the good name of the future will be mine, and you will bear the notoriety for a lifetime. It seems that let alone getting on the thief ship, as long as you see this broken ship of yours, you can't get out. ”

"It's good that you understand. ”

Wan Lian muttered a few words, and the earth-shattering sound of cannons outside, the screams of those people before they died, seemed to have no effect on him, because there was already a slight snoring.

When Wan Lian woke up, it was already the second watch in the evening, but the first order he gave when he found Qiu Boming was a gag order:

"This matter is completely closed, especially not allowed to say anything in front of the lord to kill more than 75,000 people at one time, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! Of course, it still has to be reported, and the death toll is about 10,000. If the lord asked, he would say that the scene was too chaotic to count it at all. Let's do it. ”

The outside world did not know about the crazy purge of slave owners of all sizes in Yuanmou County, at least not very clearly.

This is the genius of Wan Lian.

He pushed the boat down the river, deliberately creating opportunities for those people, so that the rebels had the illusion that they would soon be able to achieve their goals, so they desperately rushed to the county seat.

As everyone knows, the county seat is a real hell, and once you come in, you can't get out until the next life.

Not only did the rebels send themselves to hell, but they also exposed their own nests, and as a result, they put the whole family in it.

The more than 75,000 people reported by Qiu Boming were only those killed in the city. God knows exactly how many people were killed in the homes of those large and small slave owners.

In fact, there is another person who knows that this person is Zhang Yuxiu, because he has a yellow register of household registration in his hand.

After Zhang Yuxiu's preliminary calculation, there are now slaves left in the entire Yuanmou County, and the total number is about 210,000.

"Enough. Wan Lian waved his hand: "Yuanmou County is barren and poor, and there are more than 200,000 people. Besides, there are still 80,000 people on my side, which is already close to 300,000, and Yuanmou County can't settle down. So, you can't stay in the place of Yuanmou County. ”

"Resettle all the remaining slaves, build new villages, straighten out the village administration, and adjust the crop planting plan, first of all, to solve the problem of food. ”

"In addition, you have to consider the problem of Zhennan Prefecture, that is, the overall planning of the nine counties. You're the head of the land, and I can't catch up with you in this regard. ”

At this moment, Qiu Boming shouted: "The lord has arrived-"

Xiong Chu also had dark circles under his eyes, and he hadn't slept for a few days, but he was in good spirits, and he entered the county Yaxi Flower Hall under the guidance of four lanterns.

Wan Lian directly introduced Zhang Yuxiu, and after introducing Zhang Yuxiu's expertise, he continued: "Raising the army and the people, guarding one side, I am not as good as him." Intrigue and murder, he is not as good as me. The specific arrangement depends on the Lord's public will. ”

"Mr. Zhang, you know the current situation very well, and even I don't understand what the future will bring. Xiong Chu smiled and said, "The brothers below are going to do this, and I can't stop it." Now except for Wuding County and Yao'an County, half of which are not in our hands, the entire Zhennan Prefecture is almost the same. ”

"Not long ago, Zhennanzhou was still saying that it was impossible to divide the lineup, and it took a great talent to preside over the overall situation. Now there are nine counties that need to be managed, and they are basically a province. If my point of view is different from the past, it will be called Zhennan Province. The supreme governing body is called the Governor's Office, which is in charge of the military and civilian power of a province. Is Mr. Zhang willing to give in?"

Zhang Yuxiu shook it to the ground: "My subordinates thank you for the grace of the lord, and I will do my best and die!"

Waving his hand, Xiong Chu said to Wan Lian again: "Military Division, I have received news that the situation of Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan is very bad. Now it has been surrounded in Wufeng Mountain, Taohong Dam, and Exiangling, and its defeat is imminent. Will Zhu Xieyuan's 70,000-strong army enter Shuixi?"

Zhang Yuxiu said: "My lord, I have received news from the northern merchants here, and the people in Shaanxi and Gansu have been surging and have swept the world, and the attention of the imperial court may move north. ”

Wan Lian said with a smile: "It was wishful thinking that Yu Chongming and An Bangyan wanted to replace the advanced social system with the backward slave system. It is absolutely impossible for the common people to welcome slave owners to their own territory and then become slaves again. ”

"So Extravagant Chongming and An Bangyan can't stand anywhere, and it is only a matter of time before they fail completely. If their main force of 100,000 had already been surrounded and completely annihilated, Zhu Xieyuan should have transferred his troops to the north instead of wasting time here in Shuixi. ”

"After all, the emperor Taiji of Jianzhou is eyeing the tiger, and the people of Shaanxi and Gansu are changing one after another, and the imperial court cannot but have some scruples. Although we occupied the prefecture and county, we did not kill a single officer or soldier. As long as those scholars are not stupid, I think this kind of goodwill court should understand. ”

Zhang Yuxiu also smiled and said: "My lord, as long as the people in the court have a little brain, they will understand that our preservation is good for the court." Because we are actually implementing the national policy of reforming the land and returning to the river, and it is more thoroughly implemented than the imperial court. ”

"There is no doubt that because of our existence, the toast here will point the finger at us. Until we are eliminated from this hidden danger, those toasts who are ready to move will no longer have the energy to rebel. ”

"In this sense, because of the appearance of the lord, the imperial court can reduce the garrison of Yunguichuan by more than half. This is a huge military mobile force, and thus has a certain strategic counterattack capability. ”

Xiong Chu smiled: "Since the two high-ranking talents see it this way, then it's good, that's good." Now that the national crisis is at hand, I really don't want to go to war with the imperial court. Since the imperial court does not trouble me, we will calm down and do a good job of our own one-third of an acre, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

No wonder Xiong Chu is happy that he hasn't slept for a few days, because there are indeed several things to be happy about.

The first is to take advantage of the fire to rob, and finally get a piece of land where you can settle down and settle those slaves according to your own wishes.

Although the imperial court just has no energy to deal with itself for the time being, it is always worth being happy to have a piece of territory that has the final say.

Secondly, through guò exchanges, Zhang Yuxiu is also a fellow practitioner, and he is very proficient in people's livelihood issues, especially to understand the situation in the Nanban region, it is impossible for Xiong Chu to be unhappy.

Thirdly, and most happily, the two generals who had surrendered, Atsorotse and Visori, not only stood firm in their positions during the entire period of the riots, but also took advantage of the situation to carry out a second purge of the standing army, dealing with more than 2,000 men again.

When Prince Xiong came to inspect the troops at noon the next day, more than 30,000 people with very pure composition had already been divided into 12 phalanxes and neatly arranged outside the east gate.

The so-called sign of very purity is that there are no children of leaders in it, all of them are troops composed of Gaxi, the purest "serf army", and the only thing lacking is generals at all levels.

After appeasing Azorize and Wei Shiori, Xiong Chucai said to Wan Lian: "Military Division, what is your plan for the future construction of the army?"

Wan Lian shook his head: "We seem to have more people now, but there are not many people in a few key positions." In any case, the number of people has more than doubled, and the promotion of a group of generals is the most important thing. It is also necessary to straighten out the chain of command so as not to disrupt the war in the future. ”

Xiong Chu nodded: "After five or six years of combat testing, the army management system implemented by the imperial court is not suitable for large-scale wars at all, at least it is much worse than that of Jurchen Tartars." We can't go down the old ways, we need to innovate. Whether it is the guard system or the barracks system, they are all mechanical models that restrict combat effectiveness. ”

Wan Lian said with a smile: "The lord pointed out the essence of the problem, which is also the root cause of the repeated defeats of the Ming army. Therefore, we want to build a real army, which has nothing to do with the common people. This is a professional army, not a half-army, half-peasant military bloc. ”

"The root cause of the defeat of the imperial army is to learn the mode of operation of those toasts. This is a great step backwards, even inferior to Qin Shi Huang back then. Qin Shi Huang was able to sweep the world because he had a million standardized army, an army that did not need to farm, and an army that was not dragged down by his family. ”

"My point of view is that the generals must manage the army, so the command hierarchy must be redivided. Specifically, it includes the three levels of lieutenants, schools, and generals, and the so-called 100 households, 1,000 households, and 10,000 households are abolished. One school with five lieutenants, one general with five colonels, all independent combat units. ”

"In the past battles, I asked Huo Lianshan, the chief officer, and Xiong Kaishan, the deputy commander-in-chief, to lead a battalion of troops, which is to gradually improve this system. Now they have all been honed and have the ability to take charge of combat on their own. ”

"The division is very simple: 480 men for a lieutenant, 2,400 for a colonel, and 12,000 for a general. Depending on the enemy's situation, commanders at all levels can send lieutenants, colonels, and generals to lead the troops. ”

Xiong Chu smiled slightly: "I am very much in favor of your hierarchical approach, now Huo Lianshan, Xiong Kaishan, Sima Cheng, Fan Tao, Yang Hu, Duan Peng, Qiao Rushan, Nali Burai, Yaspur, as well as the newly joined Azorize and Wei Shiori, can all be appointed as captains, commanding 2,400 people to fight independently." ”

At this moment, Qiu Boming, the commander of the town military camp, rushed over and shouted: "Lord Qiqi, military advisor: something big has happened in the east!"
