"Farm and eat!"

"Farm and eat!"

The rebels shouted even louder, and even the veterans lost their minds and gradually lost their proper formation.

Of course, there is no need to maintain formation anymore.

"Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~~~~~~"

"Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~~~~~~"

The sound of suona resounded on the battlefield, and the rebel army became completely fanatical, and even Fei Ruhe's Chinese army also charged.

Xie Xuelong's Xiangyong has collapsed across the board.

Xie Xuelong originally wanted to lead the Chinese army to hold the ground, but at this moment he was scattered by the rout.His eyes were red, he suddenly drew his sword across his neck, turned to look at the north and said to himself: "Your Majesty, a minister is not responsible for the king, can the king be responsible for the minister?"

Xie Xuelong, who was supposed to jump into the river in Nanjing to die for his country, committed suicide outside Ji'an more than ten years in advance.

Knowing that Xie Xuelong was defeated and committed suicide, his staff member Li Zongxue, who was far away in Bailuzhou, also resolutely jumped into the Ganjiang River to commit suicide.He did not die for the country, but followed his benefactor, and the court had no affection for him.

Chapter 117 [Catch a Wild Book]

Looking at the two corpses in front of him, Zhao Han sighed and said, "Bury them. The dead are the most important, and they will be safe in the ground."

"Please bury it generously!"

Ouyang Zheng cupped his hands suddenly, and said: "Loyal ministers and righteous men, don't neglect, I will write epitaphs for them."

Zhao Han sneered: "You think you are noble?"

Xiao Huan couldn't help but said: "Zongzhen has the world in mind, and such loyal ministers and righteous men should be buried generously."

"If you give them a generous burial," Zhao Han pointed to the corpses of Xie Xuelong and Li Zongxue, and then pointed to the remains of the rebel army in the distance, "Should I give all my soldiers a generous burial? Are people with mud legs inferior to officials? I said bury them." , the dead are the most important, I can't do the thing of exposing corpses to the wilderness!"

Xiao Huan hesitated to speak, he had gradually figured out Zhao Han's way, and knew that it was useless to persuade him at this time.

Zhao Han ordered: "Buy ordinary coffins for them, and erect a stele in a serious manner. As for anyone who doesn't like it, he can pay for Feng Shui by himself, and move the graves of these two people to replace the stele. I won't stop it."

"I'll pay for it!" Ouyang Zheng said immediately.

"what ever."

After Zhao Han finished speaking, he walked away and came to the body of his soldier.

In the massive battle involving thousands of people, the rebel army suffered over a hundred casualties, but only six were killed, more than ten were seriously injured, and the rest were all slightly injured.

Zhao Han announced: "The dead were burned to ashes and brought back for a good burial. Tomorrow, I will send troops to attack Yongyang Town and change the Xiao's ancestral hall there into the Hall of Heroes. From now on, all soldiers who died in battle will be enshrined in the Hall of Heroes."

Although cremation was not the mainstream in the Ming Dynasty, it would not be rejected. Officials and merchants who died in other places could be burned into ashes and brought back to their hometown for burial.

Xiao Huan's complexion was a bit strange. Although his hometown is not in Yongyang Town, the Xiao family there is considered to be of the same clan as him.

In this Luling County, the surname Liu is the most, the surname Wang is the second, the surname Li is the third, and the surname Xiao is the fourth.

"Do you have an opinion?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

Xiao Huan said with a smile: "Zongzhen is joking, what can I say? I will keep the Xiao's ancestral hall, and I will not be able to enter it in my life."

Zhao Han said to the other soldiers: "This time, the seriously injured and disabled will all enter the nursing home and do some work within their ability. Those who died in battle and have no children, if they meet orphans in the future, they can be raised in the nursing home and change their names and surnames. They spread the incense, and the land will be distributed to their adopted sons!"

As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers were convinced.

Xiao Huan even secretly exclaimed, admiring Zhao Han's method of buying people's hearts.

If you are alive, you can divide the land, if you are disabled, someone will take care of you, if you die, you can enjoy the temple, and if you have no children, you can still pass on incense... If this is done, why worry about the soldiers?

Ouyang Zheng stared at Zhao Han, and shouted in his heart: This evildoer in this troubled world!

"Your name is Wu Yong, right?" Zhao Han walked up to a wounded soldier.

Wu Yong showed a simple and honest smile: "Back to the main town, I am Wu Yong."

Zhao Han patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "In the future, lead the troops well, don't rush blindly. This time, you will be granted the land first, continue to be the commander, and then you will be promoted next time for meritorious service. Remember, you must learn to write. Literacy three hundred!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zongzhen, for appreciating the fields!" Wu Yong subconsciously wanted to kneel.

Zhao Han scolded: "Get up, the army is not allowed to bow down!"

Wu Yong quickly stood up and saluted, with one arm across his chest, this is a military salute invented by Zhao Han.

The military salutes in the Ming Dynasty can be roughly divided into four types: kneeling directly, bowing hands, bowing hands on both knees, and bowing hands on one knee.

How to do it depends on each other's military positions and whether they are wearing armor.If you're wearing armor, it's not convenient to kneel down. You usually kneel on one knee, or stand and clasp your hands.

It was quite chaotic anyway, Zhao Han looked awkward, and changed everything to one arm across his chest.

Zhao Han walked up to another soldier: "Your name is Wang Biandan?"

"Hey, I'm Wang Biandan." This guy was very happy, but Mr. Zhao still remembered him.

Zhao Han encouraged: "You are the one who joined the army in Baisha Town. Our territory cannot reach Baisha Town for the time being, but we will be able to go back one day!"

Wang Biandan was excited when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up straight and saluted as a soldier.

Seeing Zhao Han walking slowly, calling out the names of soldiers one after another, the worry on Ouyang Zheng's face became more and more serious.

This anti-thief leader is a natural general, but unfortunately he cannot be used by the court.

Zhao Han turned around suddenly: "Captain Xiao, you are in charge of logistics and transportation. You have been very busy these two days. All the confiscated warships were brought back, just in time to transport troops and food."

"Do you want to pay for the redemption?" Xiao Huan asked.

"Who did you buy it from?" Zhao Han asked back with a smile, "Those ships are all military supplies we captured. Whoever dares to ask for them, let them find the governor, and if they dare not go on the road, send them to see the governor! "

Xiao Huan cupped his hands and said, "I understand the humble job!"

Zhao Han corrected: "Don't call yourself a lowly position, there are no lowly people in our army."

Xiao Huan immediately stood up straight and shouted loudly: "Understood!"

Xiao Huan, Fei Chun, Huang Shunde and others were as tired as gray grandchildren, counting and arranging various logistics materials, and they were in a daze for two consecutive days.

Before leaving, Zhao Han called Zhang Yin, the dead eunuch's leg is still not healed.

"Congratulations Zhang Zhenfu, you are going to recover Ji'an Fucheng." Zhao Han said with a smile.

Zhang Yin sat on the bench, bowed his head and said, "Everything depends on Mr. Zhao. From now on, I will be Mr. Zhao's dog."

"Don't talk about these useless things, do you believe this?" Zhao Han handed over a letter, "Help me pass it to the eunuch in charge of Jiangxi."

"Definitely hand it over, definitely hand it over." Zhang Yin said again and again.

According to Xiao Huan's intention, he wanted to bribe the eunuch guarding Jiangxi with a lot of money, and he also wrote a secret letter with a brilliant literary style.

Zhao Han directly changed the letter, and the content was easy to understand: You will be your eunuch, and I will be my rebel.If you send troops to Luling County, I will lead them to Nanchang Mansion.I have withdrawn from Ji'an Fucheng. It is a big gift for you. Whether you accept it or not is up to you.

After reading Zhao Han's redacted secret letter, Xiao Huan couldn't laugh or cry.

But it must be admitted that threats may be more effective than bribes!

At this moment, Zhao Han cut to the chase and said, "Zhang Zhenshou, how about we set up a territory?"

Zhang Yin asked: "How to divide the territory?"

"Xuanhua Township, Yongfu Township, Dongdu Township, and Tianxin Township, these four townships are under my jurisdiction," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Don't let the government come to these four townships to collect taxes, and I will not idle around to attack Fucheng."

There are a total of eight townships in Luling County, and Zhao Han directly allocated half of them!

Zhang Yin's eyeballs rolled wildly, and he shied away: "I can't be the master of this, it is the matter of the magistrate of Luling County."

Zhao Han was easy to talk to: "I don't make things difficult for Zhenshou Zhang, you can tell the new county magistrate. If the new county magistrate doesn't want to, just kill him and replace him."

"Hehe, I must tell you, I must tell you." Zhang Yin was terrified when he heard that.

Zhao Han said: "I will leave tomorrow, we will meet again by fate."

"Goodbye, goodbye!" Zhang Yin quickly apologized and agreed with a smile, he never wanted to see Zhao Han again in his life.

Zhengde six years, mid-November.

Zhang Yin, the eunuch guarding Ji'an, recruited local soldiers to fight bravely, and finally drove the traitor Zhao Yan out of Fucheng!

Of course, there is also the credit of the guarding eunuch in Jiangxi.

As for other officials, they were all considered heroic martyrs, including governor Xie Xuelong.

The dead are the big ones, if the eunuch bites on Xie Xuelong, the Donglin party will not let it go, it will definitely arouse public outrage.

Before Zhao Han led his troops to leave Fucheng, thousands of people dragged their families along, willing to follow the rebels.Zhao Han accepted all the orders, and promised to divide the land, anyway, he has no shortage of land now.

The thieves from Xuanhua Township ran around, and took away a large number of Yongfu Township, leaving a large area of ​​unclaimed land, which was just short of people to resettle and farm.

The land allocation policy has been adjusted. People who have reached the age of 12, regardless of gender, can be allocated three mu of land (based on the standard of medium-sized fields).

If you still want to divide the land, you have to make meritorious service.It doesn't have to be military meritorious service, civil servants can also be counted as meritorious service points, and ordinary villagers can also be credited for doing official affairs.

This kind of practice cannot last long, and there will definitely be no place to divide it in the future, but it is very suitable at this stage.

Moreover, there is an upper limit to the number of individual land allocations, and if the amount is exceeded, other things will be rewarded, such as money, food, official positions, and so on.

As soon as Zhao Han's fleet entered the Helu River from the Ganjiang River, it collided with Li Banghua's boat head-on.

"Seize the boat, arrest people!" Zhao Han ordered immediately.

Xiao Huan asked: "Didn't Zong Zhen say that he would not rob merchant ships?"

Zhao Han said with a smile: "That's a fart merchant ship, so shallow draft and not afraid of losing money?"

It was Li Banghua who heard that Xie Xuelong's army was wiped out, so he asked Xiangyong to disband on the spot.Because those brave men were originally recruited nearby, Li Banghua only had more than 30 soldiers with him.

Today, there are still more than 20 soldiers of Li Banghua's soldiers, all of whom returned home on a large ship, and took off their flags to disguise themselves as merchant ships.

Li Shangshu is indeed a great talent, but he forgot the waterline of the merchant ship, he should get some stone ballast.

Zhao Han has been in Qianshan Hekou Town for several years, and has seen countless merchant ships. A merchant ship with such a shallow draft must be a loss to his grandma's family.

So suspicious!

Li Banghua was surrounded by a crowd, he could bend and stretch, and said humbly: "This military man, this old man is a merchant from Yongxin County, and he is going to Ji'an to buy goods."

Zhao Han boarded the ship with his soldiers and asked, "What business do you do?"

"Buy and sell some paper products." Li Banghua is very familiar with all kinds of paper products, after all, he is a literati.

Zhao Han questioned, "Are you going to buy goods with an empty ship?"

Li Banghua suddenly realized that he had exposed himself.In fact, it is not considered an empty ship, there are still a few stones of grain in the cabin.

"Catch it!" Zhao Han ordered.

Li Banghua had no weapons on him, and his subordinate soldiers were also hiding in the cabin. There were only two nephews by his side, and he was captured by the rebel army in an instant.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Tell me, what is your background?"

Li Banghua kept silent.

Xiao Huan boarded the boat quite excitedly: "General Town, this is Mr. Li Mengan, the former minister of the Ministry of War." After finishing speaking, Xiao Huan bowed respectfully, "Wansheng pays homage to Mr. Meng An!"

Li Banghua didn't say anything, just stood and waited to die, he didn't even bother to scold the rebels.

Zhao Han didn't know much about Li Banghua, so he asked, "How is this person?"

Xiao Huan replied: "The talents of the country are the ministers of the country."

"Then come back with me," Zhao Han said with a smile, "let the other people on board go, and let them go home to report that Mr. Li was invited by me as a guest."

This unexpected harvest is simply inexplicable.

Chapter 118 [Weak landlord class]

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 normal minds 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!"
