The landlord of Yongyang Town is really interesting!
When the tenants in the surrounding villages and towns rebelled spontaneously, the landlords here began to practice Xiangyong. Hearing that Xie Xuelong was going to suppress the bandits, they immediately sent Xiangyong there.
Now, with Xie Xuelong defeated, Zhao Han must take Yongyang Town.
Because this is the southern gate of Ji'an Mansion, if Zhao Han takes Yongyang Town as the ruling center, he can control Yongxin County in the west, Anfu County in the north, Taihe County in the south, and go straight to Fucheng in the east!
Landlords with a normal mind knew that Zhao Yan was coming to Yongyang Town, but only a few of them packed up their belongings and fled. Most of them are sitting at home waiting, not knowing what they are waiting for. Waiting to be killed to divide the land, or waiting for Zhao Han to be kind?
"Master, the rebels have disembarked!"
"Explore again!"
Xiao Wanquan was trembling all over, fidgeting restlessly in the study, a deep fear enveloped his heart.
"Master, there is a band of rebels coming straight to our village!"
"What?"
Xiao Wanquan's legs were weak, so he asked his servant to help him out, and ordered the whole family to be called together.
When Zhao Han personally led the soldiers to Xiao's house, there was already a kneeling in front of him.
Zhao Han ignored these guys, but looked up at the "Zhuangyuan Temple".
This ancestral hall is very interesting. The main entrance and the side entrance are built like three archways. There are a lot of plaques, and the content is scary enough: champion, second place, Hanlin, Huiyuan, Jieyuan, Huikui, Jingkui, Da Sima, Da Sikou, Dazhongcheng, Xuezhengall were obtained by the ancestors of the Xiao family. Glory, or the official positions held by the ancestors.
After looking up at the Zhuangyuan Temple for a while, Zhao Han finally smiled and said: "Are you going to follow the thief?"
Xiao Wanquan knelt down and kowtowed, then knelt straight and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Zhao has a heart for all people, and spreads virtuous government. I also heard that Mr. Wen went to Fucheng, but restrained all the people in the autumn without any crime. This is really a righteous teacher, how can he be called a bandit? ?Although the old man is dull, he also knows what people want or not, and today he is just serving the Ming Lord."
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Zhao Han was amused by the old man and asked, "Do you know how I govern?"
"I heard something about it." Xiao Wanquan's heart beat wildly.
This guy still has illusions in his heart, thinking that Zhao Han killed the landlord and divided the land, which was a means of gathering people's hearts in the early stage. Now that the governor is defeated, his power will increase suddenly, and he will probably make friends with the local gentry.
Zhao Han asked: "Would you like to donate the fields of the Xiao family?"
As soon as this remark came out, Xiao Wanquan felt desperate, and his illusion was shattered.
But he couldn't leave this place. There are Xiao's ancestral hall, Xiao's ancestral house, Zhuangyuan Temple, and countless lands of Xiao's. After leaving, can the Xiao family still be called the Xiao family?
But if you don't cooperate with the rebels, Xiao's family may be killed!
Thinking left and right, Xiao Wanquan kowtowed and said: "The Xiao family is willing to donate the family property and serve Mr. Zhao from generation to generation!"
"Give up all the property?" Zhao Han asked.
"Give it all!" Xiao Wanquan bit the bullet and said.
I'll go, this is not easy to handle, Zhao Han feels a little troubled, but he hopes that the Xiao family will rise up to resist.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Zhao Han suddenly laughed heartily, helped Xiao Wanquan up with his own hands, and comforted him: "The old man understands righteousness deeply, how can I disregard human feelings. How about this, the whole Xiao family, above twelve years old, no matter men, women, old or young , each person can leave 20 mu of land.¡±
Only 20 mu for each person?
Xiao Wanquan was about to cry, and forced a smile to flatter him: "Mr. Zhao is really benevolent, I am so grateful."
Zhao Han said again: "The Xiao family must divide the family and analyze the property, excluding children, there are no more than ten people in a family."
Xiao Wanquan almost fainted and wanted to bite Zhao Han to death.
Once the family is separated, people's hearts will be scattered, and his appeal will be gone.
Zhao Han asked: "Does the old gentleman disagree?"
"Yes, I am willing!" Xiao Wanquan said quickly.
Zhao Han continued: "The Xiao family slaves must all be released. Those who are willing to share the land, I will give them the land. Those who are willing to stay, all will be changed to servant contracts. From now on, don't beat and scold the servants at will."
Xiao Wanquan has nothing to say, if the land can be divided, how many slaves are willing to stay?
Zhao Han said with a smile: "I am short of talents, Mrs. Xiao can recommend his sons to be officials."
Xiao Wanquan seemed to be alive again, and he would not be afraid of losing his land if he could be an official. This traitor made a big fuss, and most likely they will be recruited from now on, and Xiao's disciples will follow suit. If the rebels really took over the world, wouldn't the Xiao family be the hero of the dragon?
Xiao Wanquan straightened his back and said: "My Xiao family has one juror, seven scholars, and children.Chongzhen six years, winter.
Officers and soldiers from all walks of life encircled and suppressed the thieves from the northwest, and the peasant army rushed out of the encirclement of ten routes of officers and soldiers while the Yellow River was frozen. Conquering Mianchi, Lushi, and Yiyang one after another, the peasant army entered the border of Henan.
The governor of Henan was intercepted by heavy troops, and the peasant army turned southward, looting Ruzhou, Xichuan, Neixiang, Guanghua, and Nanyang along the way.
Facing the pursuit of officers and soldiers, the peasant army that had merged suddenly dispersed into several groups. Not only did they wander around Henan, but they also waited for the five-way thieves in the old Huihui, and even invaded Huguang instead.
I can't take it anymore!
Thieves can be seen everywhere in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan, Henan, and Huguang. Even in Beizhili, there are small groups of peasant troops fleeing. How can the imperial court care about Jiangxi?
Li Banghua and Ouyang Zheng, who were "invited" by Zhao Han, were provided with simple tea and light food. Zhao Han did not meet with them, but only let them observe the administration with the mission team.
At the same time, Zhao Han captured Ji'an Fucheng, and the news that the governor was defeated and committed suicide quickly spread to the whole of Jiangxi.
The reputation of "Zhao Yan" is known to everyone, and it is said that he is a giant bandit who kills without batting an eyelid.
This brought about a series of chain reactions. The Tantric Sect, which was originally developed in the countryside, took the opportunity to gather people to revolt in advance, and the religious uprisings broke out in Qianshan County and Nanfeng County at the same time.
On the other side of Poyang Lake, the uprising in Duchang County also broke out ahead of schedule, and colluded with the Poyang Lake water bandits.
If the next governor of Jiangxi is also a capable minister, he won't even bother to conquer Zhao Han. The government must first wipe out the Duchang rebels. It is so important there. Whether it is from a political, military, or economic point of view, the Duchang rebels must be put down first!
