Jining City is not the first time Lei Hu entered the city. As a native of Hebei, Lei Hu has been to the capital. The magnificence and excitement of the capital are definitely not comparable to Jining City. However, Lei Hu's complacent at this time was much better than entering the capital. After all, this was the first city that had to open the city gate for Lei Hu under the violence of Lei Hu.

Walking on the streets in Jining City, smelling the remaining smoke in the air, seeing the street scene of every family closing their doors because of fear. The perception of deciding others' fate made Lei Hu feel great joy.

The defenders of Jining City fought hard outside the city, the city top and the Han army, and eventually ended up almost completely destroyed. The Han army then entered Jining City with almost no resistance.

Although there are not a small number of more than 700 people, they are not conspicuous in Jining City. The population of this state city is far more than 700.

Soon, all the important places were controlled, and various news came back one after another. Lei Hu heard news that the magistrate committed suicide and the officials fled while walking. When the door was directly exploded by explosives, Lei Hu continued to listen to the news.

The smoke of gunpowder disappeared. Lei Hu and others entered the gate. Looking at the airs that were shaken by the explosion, Lei Hu's face became gloomy. He muttered in a low voice in his mouth. Unexpectedly, there was not much money left in the warehouse in Jining City.

However, if the flies are small, they are still flesh. Lei Hu ordered the silver in the warehouse to be transported away. Since there is no silver in the warehouse, the officials' houses must be searched. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss to be dispatched this time?

Angry in his heart, Lei Hu shouted: "Those corrupt officials are plundering people's wealth and ointment, and it's time for these guys to repay them!"

Although it was very powerful when the agitation was promoted, Lei Hu did not have any particular anger at the officials plundering the people. What about Qing officials? It is normal for this to do it.

Here Lei Hu hurriedly asked someone to go to the warehouse to transport paper, files, documents, etc., especially fish scale books and other things. If these things are lost, Jining's generation will not be able to collect taxes well in the future.

Although he will leave soon, Lei Hu does not think that this time he leaves forever. If he can conquer Jining for the first time, he will definitely conquer the second time until the city completely surrenders to Lei Hu and is possessed by Lei Hu.

Here, the staff noticed that there were many idle men watching the fun appeared on the street. Perhaps because the Han army was strict in military discipline, they did not violate the people after entering Jining City. So some people dared to watch the fun from afar.

But when the staff officer wanted to ask whether these idle men were willing to be porters, the idle men scattered. This disappointed everyone. Many of the things to be transported this time were paper things, which were quite heavy. There must be people responsible for transportation.

Lei Hu continued his work. He thought the matter would probably end like this, so he quickly sent someone back to Mengyin County and asked Mengyin County to send a porter as soon as possible.

As soon as the person left, he reported here that a large amount of silver was found in the homes of several major officials, all in tens of thousands. Especially the magistrate's family, even 70,000 taels of silver were found.

Lei Hu thought about it and thought that this might be the robbed Shandong tax silver. An official could not have brought tens of thousands of taels of silver to take office. However, Lei Hu felt a little uncertain. It is said that the Shandong governor could get millions of taels of silver in a year with all kinds of filial piety.

Huo Chong arrested two Shandong governors, and Li Shude is still in the prison of the Han regime. Regarding the acceptance of filial piety, what Li Shude said really opened the eyes of young cadres.

Maybe the same is true for this magistrate?

After temporarily handing over the work here to someone else, Lei Hu hurried to the magistrate's house to see it. After seeing the money, Lei Hu discovered clues in the money. If it was someone else's filial piety, there would be rules.

This is what Li Shude and the captured officers told about it.

So what we received in the end should be the majority of the scattered silver, and the standard official silver of dozens of taels and one ingot is the minority.

The silver found in the home of Jining Prefecture, who had committed suicide, was mostly the official silver. The silver was neatly arranged, with many markings on it.

Lei Hu immediately ordered the family members of the prefect and several major officials to be arrested for interrogation. He originally wanted to use the so-called "Huo Chong sent someone to rob the official silver" as an excuse to send troops to Jining City. The reason is very simple, and they have been framed, so why not come here in person?

However, the matter is not complicated. As Huo Chong expected, the matter involving the Qing government must have been a lot of collusion between people within the government. Now, these people are not only colluding, but also in such a chaotic Shandong, too many people want to make a fortune from this chaotic situation.

Lei Hu didn't expect that just when he was in a dilemma for the manpower of transport, Huo Chong had sent someone to inform him that more than 2,000 transport teams had set out from Mengyin County. Lei Hu had to prepare quickly and organize the transport teams.

Seeing this, Lei Hu sent another message, 'Two thousand people are not enough, please send 10,000 people.'

On the ninth day of the third month of the fifth year of Yongzheng, Huo Chong called Jiang Song in Linzi, the largest city during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

After calling me last time, Jiang Song, a native of Shandong, no longer cared about some wonderful relationships at the moment. As a major rebel in Shandong, Huo Chong is a priority target for the government to be wiped out.

Jiang Song himself is a member of the government, and he is also a person who has a deep relationship with the case of "Huo Chong plundering the government's salary".

It is very abnormal, but there is nothing abnormal about the hostile two sides who can sit together and talk with each other with confidence.

After listening to Huo Chong briefly introduced the incident and interrogation. Jiang Song's face was already much gloomy.

"Master Huo..."

"Call me Mr. Huo. I think being called Mr. Huo is like I want to rob a house." Huo Chong corrected it a little.

If possible, Huo Chong hoped to completely change the name others called him. The Qing Dynasty was full of strict registration systems from top to bottom, and this system was full of barbaric tribal atmosphere. It was reflected in culture, which was the barbaric name.

Fourth Master, Eighth Master, Thirteenth Master, Fourteenth Master. These names seem to be fine in the Qing Dynasty. But in the entire history of Chinese civilization, they are just names that are so brutal that they are quite barbaric.

The royal family is called this, it can be said that it is unfair and nonsense.

Where is decent? Where is decent?

Jiang Song was not used to calling Huo Chong with "Mr. Huo". After all, calling someone else's husband was a decent, elegant and respectful title in the Qing Dynasty. Huo Chong's power and the rebel identity of Huo Chong made Jiang Song feel that the three words "Mr. Huo was really not easy to express.

But that's the situation at the moment. Huo Chong not only had the advantage over Jiang Song at this time, but also gave Jiang Song help. After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Song said: "Mr. Huo, can you let me interrogate the prisoners?"

"Please give yourself." Huo Chong agreed readily.

Jiang Song was famous for handling cases in Jinan Prefecture, and arresting theft was his strength. However, Huo Chong never did anything illegal, so although Jiang Song knew about Huo Chong's name, he had no chance to attack Huo Chong.

At this time, we cooperated with Huo Chong, and Huo Chong had no scruples about who to arrest him. Jiang Song could fully interrogate and torture all kinds of torture. The young cadres of the Han regime who were responsible for surveillance were dumbfounded. They could not have imagined that there were so many torture methods.

After more than a day and night interrogation and torture, Jiang Song came to the conclusion and asked Huo Chong whether he could send some of the "people who escaped from Jining" to the territory of Jinan Prefecture.

Huo Chong admired Jiang Song's attitude very much. If he did not mention his position, there were so few officials of this era who were worthy of making friends with. For example, Jiang Song was one of them. Many officials were even forced to show their integrity due to strong pressure.

From Huo Chong's reign to the present, all the officials have abandoned the city and left. Even because they dared not fight and did not go to the city to defend. However, the officials did not run away, but chose to commit suicide or wait for arrest.

In this regard, Huo Chong used to mock the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ye Mingchen of the Qing Dynasty. This guy was unable to fight against Britain, but he refused to leave. He was captured by the British and returned to the colonial India, locked in a cage in a zoo, and sold tickets for people to watch.

I used to think that those people were ridiculous, but at this time I became the one who killed Qing officials, but Huo Chong felt that the Qing officials were really interesting in this regard. At least they performed much better than the Kuomintang officials in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Afterwards, Huo Chong held a meeting to summarize. The first performance was on the way, especially Li Zhongtai, the person in charge of Mengyin County. Li Zhongtai was able to mobilize the people to provide transportation capacity to the troops, which played a huge role. In particular, Li Zhongtai was mobilizing rather than forcing, which was a better performance.

More than 20,000 people provided transportation capacity in segments, and the manpower mobilized from other places allowed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and one hundred thousand kilograms of materials to be well transported.

Looking at Lei Hu's somewhat unhappy expression, Huo Chong turned his head and said to Lei Hu: "Everyone thinks that I am the hardest one. Especially those who fight, I think this is even more so. If it were someone else, I would make some sense. As for Lei Hu, the Han Dynasty's attack on the Huns, the history books clearly state how many horses died along the way of the Han Dynasty. Do you think those horses died in battle or on the way to transport supplies?"

After hearing this, Lei Hu was a little unhappy, but he expressed his agreement with Huo Chong, "What Mr. said is that logistics has a great impact on the war."

"Yes. Nowadays war is no longer the point where you can get up with a stick. Lei Hu, the current war is about internal strength. Whoever can mobilize the people and do a good job of internal production will have more internal strength. If you have used artillery, you should know how useful this thing is. The reason why I didn't send you more transportation capacity from the beginning is to give you a chance to make a comparison."
