Chapter 188: Tide 6

After one tenth, Zhou Huaian watched the last troop of troops leaving, and the city of Guangzhou, which was no longer noisy and hustle and loud, returned to peace; however, at the cost, the original population of the city also decreased by one quarter to one third of the decline. Either he joined the rebel army or was conscripted as a husband, or simply fled to the countryside to hide.

As a result, the Guangzhou market and popularity, which gradually reorganized and recovered, returned to the beginning of the arrival of the rebel army, and even had a worse decline.

As one of the accomplices, Zhou Huaian also had many three-foot-sized lists in it, so that he could roughly meet the needs of the first batch of advancers. As for the later people, he really implemented his idea of ​​making enough food and clothing, and in various names of people, he was very troubled by the places outside Guangzhou City.

Even some of the rebels originally set up by the rebels were not spared, and those who led the cows and sheep did not dig out the seeds of the rebels' breeding in the fields and took them away. During this period, Zhou Huaian even secretly sent people to send some lists, which were the results of the activities of the census team and the investigation team. Some villages may have large households and the distribution of temples;

As the saying goes, "Who is not a pitfall, just take this opportunity to do it more thoroughly, and perhaps it can reduce some collateral damage to ordinary people. Although it is inevitable that some infamous and misunderstandings will be left behind, Zhou Huaian believes that if it is not done by himself, but others will be responsible for the whole process, as long as hundreds of people who have to die and hurt the chickens as a warning to the monkey, they will pay several times the price to achieve.

More importantly, through this process that was forced to assist and observe in disguise, these processes were almost the same as those of the former government army; they made the members of their army doubt and realize their differences from other traditional rebels.

The main reason is that Wang Pan wrote a letter from the other end, saying that the name of the Rage Wind Camp could be restored and promoted in his own hands. He was already satisfied; there was no need to use such a name to restrict the further development and prospects of this military horse in Zhou Huaian's hands. This statement also made Zhou Huaian a little satisfied and at ease, which means that he had the opportunity to name an army exclusively for his own brand for the first time.

In order to obtain the qualification to stay in the army to guard the rear of the army, Zhou Huaian paid a quarter of the collection on the ship, a large amount of unplanned grain and military funds, and hollowed out the industrial potential of Nanhai County in a short period of time. The result was obtained at a huge cost and various exchange conditions. Although it was just a light temporary title, it also meant that after most of the rebels left, they would have various expedient conveniences for the local area.

Despite this, as the most valuable pearl in the Pearl River Delta Basin, the garrisoning power of Guangzhou City still had nothing to do with his subordinates; instead, it was handed over to the two front-line troops removed from Meizhou as a temporary place of rest and rest.

Because the Fujian area on the other end of the mountain bordered by Meizhou is now being attacked by Fujian Observation Zheng Ai and Chen Yan, who claimed to be the descendant of Fuzhou, fought and fought together without any time to take care of each other. Zhang, Quan and Dingzhou, which also had the same jurisdiction, were also occupied by one side, and no one could care about the peasant army outside the mountain. Therefore, these two men were able to take advantage of the opportunity to defend Guangzhou.

As for the broken Meizhou itself, it was included in the defense zone of Nufeng Camp as a symbolic compensation. In theory, it would be enough to send people from Heyuan City to take over the camp they left behind. Although this is just a small military prefecture with a record of only tens of thousands, it is still a key and hub that later generations guard the junction of Fujian, Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces.

A Sanhekou Dazhai between the middle of the inland mountainous Jiaoling Pass and a coastal hills just controls the main land routes to Qianzhou (now Ganzhou, Jiangxi) and Zhangzhou, central Fujian respectively. The reason why it is the main rather than the only one is that it is the only place where business travelers and large groups of people can be accessed; although there may be some mountain roads, hunting roads, and shabby trails, it is a bit difficult to use them to pass the army.

Of course, as the last ambassador of the newly established Guangzhou Left-behind Office, the last ambassador of the field, he also had to continue to stay here, and challenged the many chores including the half-finished farming, the management of the wounded and the sick.

In addition, we also need to assist Lin Yan, who was the commander of the sauna and iron, to sort out the situation in the local area; because after most of the rebel army marched north, they almost emptied all the things that could be taken away from the local area with all their might. Therefore, many short-term deficits and unsustainable messes were left behind.

At the very least, the bartering trade with Annan is absolutely impossible; otherwise, as the actual military leader, the current Guangzhou Left-behind Commander Meng Cai, the remaining few severely damaged garrison troops would go hungry and even cause trouble.

However, after the Huang Chao army in charge of Guangzhou was not used as a deterrent, whether Annan was willing to continue to maintain such mutual relations in trade rather than creating other variables such as family members? Zhou Huaian was really not optimistic about it.

The first battle report from the front was also sent to Canton with the enemy that the rebels first encountered.

...........

Compared with the military towns in the north that are constantly attacking and fighting, the court is not located in the southern governors. Observing and managing the people are undoubtedly a model of weakness and long-term loss of war. In fact, the greatest significance of the existence of the armed forces under their command is to prepare for theft, as well as to ensure the timely collection of taxes and labor for the court, as well as the possible rapid suppression of civil unrest and tax resistance.

Of course, this is just the most ideal situation; under daily circumstances, these military quotas often act as examples of generals losing money, as well as minions and lackeys who make money by officials at all levels.

In a sense, Huang Chao's decision to force his troops to go north was a sign of several "thunder and light raindrops". In a sense, he had the effect of unexpectedly attacking him in an unexpected way. The state troops and united soldiers stationed along the way were almost defeated in front of the unstoppable rebel vanished at the front of the unstoppable rebel vanguard.

As the deputy general of the camp and the Hunan Observer, Li Shi, the grandson of Li Sheng, a famous general of the former dynasty who claimed to be 50,000 yuan, was one of them. He obtained this prominent and glorious position through the strong recommendation of the prime minister and governor of Jingnan.

Although he is known as the origin of a family family, he also knows his own affairs. He certainly does not have his ancestors who have accumulated merits and become the Prince of Xiping. The only martial arts and heroic martial arts that Li Taiwei, who is known as "a magnificent talent", "good at responding to changes" and "a stalemate in Jingyuan" has passed down many martial arts and heroic martial arts;

That is, through his natural wealthy body, he sang to a group of civil officials, and his generous means of making money, which he claimed to be "ancient heroic spirit", so he each praised the reputation of the famous descendants of the clan. Therefore, he was proficient in some skills in reciting poems, and even more so as to strengthen his body by using a gun to make a stick;

However, he still had some family generals left by his ancestors and the origin of his troops. Therefore, even when talking about military affairs with big talk, he was very organized and amazing. He even personally repelled and captured the achievements of thieves entrenched in the mountains and fields as a halo bonus for his daily famous generals. Therefore, when the prime ministers in the court thought of a loyal choice that could share the worries of the court, he immediately ranked first in the preferred position.

Despite this, he spent a considerable amount of money to manage his fortune and bought the most valuable female musician in the West City. He gave his favor to the old Wang Tang, who was known as Sanlezhai Old Master and was very beautiful, and received the final recommendation; and the official was awarded the Taining Jiedushi who was dedicated to the town of Weifu.

He then took advantage of the opportunity to replace the heroes who had wiped out Wang Xianzhi before. In the name of pursuing the thief power and preparing for the bandits, he was awarded the deputy commander of the thief camp and the Hunan Observer. He led the 50,000 troops and Tumen assigned by the court to sit in Tanzhou (now a high-ranking official in Hunan), and had both reputation and real profit.

Therefore, he made up his mind early on to earn back his reputation and wealth that he had spent on this long-term business in Fengyun, and was worthy of being a descendant of the famous family of the nobles who were good at managing the family, and would not be suspected of losing his family business.

Therefore, when he heard that the many thieves entrenched and dormant roads outside the ridge suddenly crossed the dangerous line of the mountains and ridges of Guizhou - Quanyiling Pass, one of the five ridges. He rode the flood between the Lingqu Canal in summer and the Xiangjiang River, and advanced with thousands of ships collected. In a blink of an eye, he broke the Lingling, which was under Yongzhou, and then trapped the Yingdao of Daozhou, Yongyang, and began to besiege Hengyang City, Hengzhou's capital, and a series of urgent requests for help.

Almost immediately fell from the banquet where he was talking and drinking happily, then jumped up quickly, leaving behind many guests and subordinates desperately, and ran into the curtain with a mess of wine and meat that was blown away and disappeared. Then, after a long time, a bright-faced military officer came out to pass the message, announced the end of the banquet and went to the middle hall of Yacheng to discuss matters.

Because there were several messengers from Guizhou before, and the thieves were almost rushing north, and even some of the official troops who fled from Guizhou were also rumored to hold this theory, so he was extremely alert and alert for a while; however, the thief power in the rumor had not arrived for a long time, and his slackness towards the literati in his heart spread again;

For this reason, he even ordered the killing with some impatient moments. Many officers and soldiers who fled back from the south but did not want to serve the country, but instead "spoken the public and pretended to be shocked" were kept in front of him. Therefore, after suddenly receiving this news, he felt a little distressed and embarrassed. The expenses he had spent in this position had just been recovering for a short time.

Therefore, the first thing he thought of after confirming this news was not to rule out more spies or to order reinforcements to set off, but to gather the wealth, gold, treasures, and other things he had started in office, and to make the first move to the north secretly overnight to avoid the disaster of the thief;

With his leadership, the entire Tanzhou city was like a big stone poured into boiling oil. Before dawn, the officers and officers from top to bottom were also rushing to the top to the bottom to perform their families and goods to the truant and horses rumbled north out of the city for refuge;

Then their collective reactions led to panic among the officials, wealthy merchants and wealthy families in the city; so in a panic that all kinds of people were in panic, the scholars and women who fled north across the Xiang River were blocked from the road.

Then as this symptom spread, the owners, ministers, Fengwengs, gentry, wealthy businessmen, and many families who were not worthy of wealth, but who also considered themselves "personal clothing" or "gentlemen" to escape from it, and rushed to the school. Although most of them were frowning and looked deeply troubled, they also made several people in Tanzhou City happy.

First of all, those servants who feasted their pockets, although they had only such sesame power, could nag a lot of temporary extra money from the rich and powerful people who were in the process of these opportunities;

The second is the hotel owners and vacant house owners. With the continuous influx of these "refugees", the residences in the city became nervous. Even the haunted houses, abandoned houses that could not be rented for many years, and even the huts that were repaired were rushing to be.

As the population surged, not only did the rent soar, but even the food and food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and other things soared, which made local residents not only feel the rice, pearls, and firewood, but also brought a lot of mental torture.
