In Pingyang City, Huo Cun, who was wearing armor and hanging his arms, was holding a slight hand in one hand, and personally inspecting and checking many captures and prisoners, feeling a little sigh and sigh;

His first step was to seize eleven mountainous cities and towns including Changping and Guangfu in the Shanwai area; to gradually seize more than 280 large and small copper pits under the name of Pingyangye, which is also affiliated to Guiyang Supervisory, and nine silver fields including Maoshou, Baizhu, Jiuding, and Dafu.

However, after searching the industries occupied by the Chen family and liquidating the relevant people, the local miners and Shanding were also mobilized. When they heard that the great fortune Chen Yanqian had already escaped, they actively guided and guided him; requesting the rebel army to completely eradicate the disaster of this "long-term suffering in the local area".

Therefore, after 7 or 8 towns and towns were unstoppable, not only did they acquire many silver tins and red copper ingots accumulated in the local area and took away before they could take them away, but they also rushed to Pingyang City, located in the belly of the Shanzhong Basin.

Then a pioneer discovered that there was an internal strife in Pingyang City; and the door was wide open and people fled, so Huo Cun simply led his people to rob the city gate and then made plans; it turned out that except for some rioters and vagrants who were robbing on the street, the resistance and resistance encountered were almost slim;

So when he couldn't wait for the rear team to catch up, he held several times the flags and rushed towards the inner city of Zhoucheng with only the remaining seven or eight hundred people around him. As a result, the inner city gate also easily changed hands as a result of the scattering of a small number of defenders.

It was not until he entered the vicinity of the state yamen where the governor was located that he found two people confronting each other with swords and guns; but at this moment, Huo Cun, the caution and intent in his bones of the old rebel army, once again gained the upper hand.

He just suppressed his eager deployment and refused to break in, but he also made people sneak into the rooms near both sides and shot a few arrows at each other; then he successfully provoked the fire of the confrontation and on the spot.

After the two sides of this battle were killed and exhausted, they rushed into the government office as a new force, defeating and suppressing the remaining troops of both sides. They killed hundreds of enemies on the spot and captured more than a thousand people, while the rebel army suffered only more than a hundred casualties. Huo Cun also got a magic arrow on his shoulder.

Then he asked people to beat gongs and drums to carry out martial law and clean the streets; he was busy until the battalion of support who rushed from the mountainous areas that night, and was able to arrive at the city of Pingyang and join the forces in the city of garrison.

However, it was only through interrogation of the enemy soldiers in the city that they knew; the confrontation between the inside and outside the government was some of the Guiyang Tu Group soldiers left by Chen Yanqian in the local area, and the united children of the state were the leaders. Chen Yanqian, who was the leader, unexpectedly did not escape back to Pingyang City.

Therefore, after these local united children received the news of his failure, they started to clamor and stirred up and robbed the troops from the camp, but they merged with the Guiyang Tutuan who came to suppress it for several times to form a confrontation. However, they also took advantage of the Taiping soldiers led by Huo Cun, a third party who attacked Pingyang City.

But next, Huo Sheng was surprised by a signal from his subordinates who guarded the prisoners.

"You want to join my rebel army?"

He looked at the arrogant man who was tied up with his hands in front of him.

“It’s…”

Although his face was covered in dust and covered with dry blood, he had a sense of determination and stubbornness in his eyes.

"It is also for us to unite our children and others to ask for a first place."

“Why is this again…”

Huo Cun said slightly surprised.

"Governor Dong gathered together to protect his hometown and ensure that the people were at peace... and gave me a place to settle down and establish a life. This is kindness."

The man said without hesitation.

"And if the old thief Chen harms our benefactors, he will be incompatible. If your subordinates can drive out the old thief, they will have our own place to use our skills."

"Then do you know what my rebel army wants...and how they act?"

Huo Cun, however, did not care about the Tao.

"Of course, it is a special purpose of placing the gentry's house and leading the poor and wealthy people to do things,"

The man said something indifferent

"We have not done this kind of thing under the old governor, and we cannot miss your business... as long as we can avenge Lao Thief Chen."

"What about after you take revenge?"

Huo Cun sighed in his heart.

This is what Guantou once said, "The blind mover who is the purpose of acting with narrow personal grace and small righteousness." Among the rebels in the past, there are also many such people, but most of them are still objects that can be fought for and transformed. Therefore, Huo Cun also saw a certain shadow of the past and was willing to say a few more words to him.

"Or it's enough to just avenge old thief Chen..."

"Then what I think is what I should do as you said..."

The man said in a little puzzled manner.

"Join our rebel army, but we want to avenge the poor people in the world and more thieves like Chen, like the old thief."

At this moment, Huo Cun became more and more tempted.

"It's not enough to repay the personal grudges of the family. What we need to do is to overthrow the court and create a long-term activity in the new world."

"we......"

The man thought for a while in confusion before speaking.

"You don't understand this very well. Isn't it just killing officials and rebelling? In addition to the old governor who is still a decent person, there are many dog ​​officials and evil officials in this world. Can I be killed with the rebel army? "

"Of course you can't kill it casually..."

At this moment, Huo Cun suddenly felt a little powerless and helpless.

"In addition, we cannot loot or humiliate the people privately... Everything obtained from the army is returned to the public and then dispatch it."

"What are you doing here? Why are you more nagging and troublesome than the official army?"

The man couldn't help but complain.

"Let's just ask, can you control your food and fullness, and you can wear it, and you can still pay the salary?"

"have...."

At this moment, Huo Cun was so depressed that he just wanted to curse, and all the feelings he said were in vain.

"It will take some time to investigate and observe the results afterwards..."

"That's fine..."

The man said with a happier face.

"I thanked the rebel army on behalf of those united brothers. As long as I give food, clothing and salary, I can do whatever I want to do...

"If any dog ​​raises a dog in the future, it will be a bad deed that harms the people... Let's take one for the rebels to catch up with one for the other..."

.........

In Guiyang City, Zhou Huaian did not expect that when Huo Cun led his troops, he unexpectedly took down Pingyang County, the prefecture city of Chenzhou.

In ancient times, Chenzhou was located in the southeast of Hunan Province, located in the area where the Nanling Mountains and Luoxiao Mountains intersected, and the Yangtze River System and the Pearl River System were diverted. "The beauty of Hengyue in the north and the rush of Wuling in the south" has been the "throat" of the Central Plains leading to the coast of South China since ancient times.

As the prefecture, Pingyang City is located in both a "place that military strategists must fight for" and a "place of beautiful culture". It borders Jiangxi Ganzhou in the east, Shaoguan in Guangdong in the south, Yongzhou in Hunan in the west, Hengyang in Hunan in the north, and Zhuzhou in Hunan in the north, and is known as the "southern gate" of Hunan.

This result, which far exceeds the expected value, somewhat disrupted his next calculation and layout; at least since he has succeeded, this is something that can echo each other in the mountains and outside the mountains, so it cannot be easily discarded.

However, after the plan is now unplanned, it not only has to bear the needs of maintaining and renovating tens of thousands of household registrations in the country; at the same time, it is located at the other end of the east-west long basin with Pingyang City, Daozhou's Yingdao, Ningyuan, Yongming, and Jianghua counties, which must be taken down as a relatively complete response to the geographical success of entering Hunan (observation envoy).

Fortunately, Daozhou has been attacked by the partial divisions of the rebel army from the Northern Expedition, and the local forces are relatively broken and empty. There is also a small rebel army stationed in Zhouchengyingdao County; therefore, in this direction, the map can be temporarily suspended.

The first thing is to divide troops to support Huo Cun in Pingyang City, and initially mobilize and utilize the local population and material resources; then control several mountain passes between the eastern foot of the Luoxiao Mountains in Hunan, located to the northwest of the basin, and the Mulianjiu Mountains in the north; in order to ensure that there is no danger for the time being.

In addition, due to the development of transportation and business travel, the local area is also a place where culture and education gathers, and there are many scholars. For example, the family of Liu Zhan, the Minister of Justice and the Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall, settled here. In order to take the long-term stability plan in the future, it is necessary to take the opportunity to bring them all to Guangzhou for re-education and transformation, so as to reduce the resistance and troubles of local transformation.

This so-called arable land home that has long been famous and disguisedly controlled the local area is the most troublesome. They create resistance and confrontation for the rebels, without any open force; as long as they make some private statements symbolically or spread some doubts and slanderous remarks, they can give the rebels a symbolic and private statement to the rebels.

Therefore, we can only use the liquidation process when we just seized the city, and use lightning speed to force these potential hidden dangers and root causes of right and wrong, and to force them to be sent away without seeing them in a quick way;

When they arrived in Guangzhou, when they were unfamiliar with their local connections and reputation, they were basically useless. They could slowly make and identify them, and they could be transformed and utilized later.

It feels like the result of the plan being unable to keep up with changes and having to run around or be exhausted to cope with it; so the survey team, the census team and the work team, were even less than enough.

However, a regional fragmentation transformation experiment is being carried out in Lianzhou, and it cannot give up halfway or make it into a piece of rice. Zhou Huaian once again felt a serious worry and pain of being a leader of the regime and not enough talents and staff.

Of course, if he is willing to relax some standards and requirements for the selection and training process, it may be alleviated; or even take some measures of compromise and concession: just like the general practice of most local forces that emerged in the late years of the traditional dynasty.

For example, continue to tolerate and allow the gentry, wealthy and powerful people in those places to maintain most of the status quo, and keep it on its own. As long as you regularly collect money, grain, and labor; then you can lead your subordinates to hide in the city and enjoy all the established situations with great time and worry.

Without having to go around and work hard like this, there are always endless things and endless problems to solve; but after he unexpectedly came to this confused era and carried the fate and sustenance of so many people, was he just to take the old path that most people have taken again?

Therefore, he could only spend more time teaching himself the people who were selected in an urgent manner, so as to quickly produce batches of barely available emergency personnel as much as possible.
