"Emperor, we are here, Shishou County, this is Shishou Mountain, as long as the captured general cannon in Jiangling is moved, the Yangtze River channel can be locked. This river is the Huarong River......"

Gu Junen was in the lobby of the Shishou County Yamen at this time, facing a map found from the Shishou County Yamen, explaining the battlefield terrain to Li Zicheng.

The county seat of Shishou and the nearby Shishou Mountain, as well as the portport that guards the junction of the Huarong River and the Yangtze River, are now occupied by the Dashun army who crossed the river.

Although the deployment of the Ming army in the above-mentioned areas was false, although the local officials were also ordered to launch regimental exercises, but because the Dashun army divided the fields and land in the north of the river, the poor peasants in Shishou and Huarong counties across the river were all red-eyed and looking forward to the king, and it would be good if there was no armed uprising, and they could still be pointed to to hold regimental exercises?

Moreover, the landlords and gentry in Shishou and Huarong counties also slipped and ran away - except for Huang Shu, who really offended Zhu Cihong, where are there still landlord class intellectuals who have defected to the king? Seeing that the landlords and old fortunes in Jiangbei were all bankrupt and ran to Jiangnan empty-handed to beg for food, the landlords, rich peasants and profiteers in Shishou and Huarong counties all ran to Wuchang Mansion with floating wealth. Without this group of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, how can the regimental training arms be pulled up? It has also become a peasant self-defense army......

Therefore, there are only a few Fu Biao soldiers of He Tengjiao in Shishou and Huarong counties, and the two county towns plus Shishou Mountain and the two key places at the port, there are only less than 2,000 people in total. The tens of thousands of troops of King Chuang came over, but of course they were crushed at the touch of a button.

"Huarong River?" Li Zicheng heard a familiar name, and asked with a smile, "Is Huarong Dao near here?" Cao Cao almost chopped up the surname Guan there! ”

"Emperor, that Huarong Dao is not in the south of the Yangtze River, but in the north of the Yangtze River," Gu Junen said, "Now it belongs to Jianli County." When Cao Cao ran from Wulin to Jiangling, he took the Huarong Road as the closest, but he had to pass through a swamp. As a result, when the road was muddy and impassable, the soldiers were ordered to cut reeds and artemisia grass to fill the road, and the soldiers trampled on others and fell into the mud, and many people died. ”

"I know this, but the surname Cao met the surname Guan in Huarong Road," Liu Zongmin interjected on the side, and his eyebrows fluttered, "But this surnamed Guan's righteousness, Cao Cao is kind to him, so he can't chop it with a knife, so he let Cao Cao live...... If the amount is Guan Yunchang, he will chop the surname Cao with a knife! ”

Gu Junen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, it was all a blind compilation surnamed Luo, why did you believe it?

Li Zicheng laughed: "Then Cao Cao didn't you take someone to hack to death?" ”

This Cao Cao is not Cao Cao, but Luo Rucai, the thief who is attached to Li Zicheng, because he is cunning, so he has the bandit name of Cao Cao. It's a pity that no matter how much he can calculate, he can't count Li Zicheng, and he was killed by Li Zicheng in the eleventh year of Chongzhen and annexed the team.

When a few people were laughing, a voice came from outside the door: "Emperor, Guangshan Uncle Liu Ye arrested Shishou Zhixian and said that there is an urgent military report." ”

Guangshan Uncle Liu Ye is Liu Tichun, he is the old battalion general under Li Zicheng, and the official worships the right battalion and the right standard General Guoyi. Shishou and Huarong counties were fought by him with his troops.

"What important military affairs can a county magistrate have?" Liu Zongmin shook his head, with a look of disdain.

Gu Junen said to Li Zicheng: "Emperor, why don't you ask the minister." ”

Li Zicheng agreed without much thought, and instructed: "If this magistrate asks for an official, you can watch and give him a ...... These days, there are fewer scholars who have taken refuge in the forehead, and they are all exiled from Shaanxi and Zhongzhou, and there are almost no scholars and officials who know the local situation in Jingchu. ”

"Yes."

Gu Junen answered, turned around and went, but after a while, he saw Gu Junen with a few soldiers, escorting a white-faced official in a green robe, this person was in his thirties, white and fat, with a goatee, his face was full of horror, and after being escorted up, he sat on the ground with a puff, and his mouth was trembling and scolding: "Niang Xipi's robber, Ni (I) Tao Xingjin does not surrender, does not surrender ......"

He spoke a Zhejiang official dialect with some dialects and local dialects, Li Zicheng had a hard time listening to it, so he asked Gu Junen: "Second Army Division, what's going on?" Did he come down or not? ”

Gu Junen shook his head, "Emperor, it's not good......"

Bad again? Li Zicheng's heart trembled, why is it not good? What's going on again? Won't it be that Xiangjing City is lost?

"What's wrong?" Li Zicheng asked busily.

Gu Junen pointed to the fat magistrate beside him, "Emperor, you can ask him!" ”

"You know the county quickly," Li Zicheng shouted angrily, "Is it that the Zhu thief broke the Xiangjing City?" ”

"No, no, no, no...... I don't know. Zhixian just shook his head.

"Tao Zhixian," Gu Junen interjected, "how did the Zhu thief rectify the riverside gentry and profiteers who fled to Wuchang?" ”

Tao Zhixian was stunned, but he didn't think that this was a military secret—people who were a little well-informed here in Huguang Jiangnan knew it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took out the official land of Wuchang Mansion to exchange for the title deed of the Jiangbei landlord, and one acre of official land in Wuchang Mansion was roughly exchanged for twenty acres of Jiangbei land deed...... Moreover, the Jiangbei landlords after the change of land must settle in Wuchang. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also expand the city of Wuchang so that they can live in the city.

In addition, all the people in the fallen areas of Jiangbei were demoted to Xiucai, and the land was also inventoried in the entire territory of Huguang, and the officials and gentry were to pay grain in one piece. ”

Li Zicheng still didn't quite understand, and looked at Gu Junen.

Gu Junen raised his voice: "Tell me quickly, how is Prince Zhu Thief going to dispose of the land in Xiangjing, Nanyang, De'an, Chengtian, Hanyang, Jingzhou and other prefectures?" ”

Tao Xingjin Tao Zhixian saw that Gu Junen was also a little angry, and hurriedly replied truthfully: "The prince has issued an order to dictate the fields in Xiangyang and Nanyang, and at the same time admit that the plans of the Liukou in De'an, Chengtian, Hanyang and Jingzhou Jiangbei and other places dictate the fields, no matter who owns the fields, after the recovery in the future, they will not be asked, and the farmers who have obtained the land only need to pay a small amount of ransom rice in the next five years to get the official land deed......"

What the? What the? Li Zicheng's face turned blue, his lips trembled slightly, he had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and there were many murderous, shameless and despicable wicked people, but none of them could be compared with Zhu Cihong, the bastard prince...... He's the crown prince! The prince of the scholar landlord, his own king divided the land to the peasants, if he, the prince, got back the land, he should return the land to the scholar landlord! He's right to be the master of the doctor!

How could he admit the Juntian result of Dashun...... He's black and black!

"Eh, I always thought that I met a treacherous and murderous prince of the Ming Dynasty," Li Zicheng stomped his feet, "I didn't expect to meet a robber prince who eats black and eats black!" ”

"Emperor," Liu Zongmin was still confused, shook his head and asked, "The prince of the Zhu family is not black...... He didn't swallow up the land that everyone went out of, why did he eat black and eat black? ”

Li Zicheng pressed his big forehead and thought: Who are his subordinates! He is clearly a wise and martial founding emperor, why can't he meet a group of civil and military generals who really have the talent of Wang Zuozhi?

Everyone under his hands is a fucking fool!

I don't know if there are many talents on Zhu Cihong's side? Thinking of this, Li Zicheng suddenly pointed to Tao Zhixian, who was trembling on the ground, "You tell me that I will let you go, and if I say something wrong, pull it out and kill it!" ”

This county magistrate named Tao Xingjin is really unlucky...... He is just a lifter, and he didn't have much chance to be an official, but his family has money, so he spent money to buy a magistrate and sent someone to Shishou County to "recover the cost". But I never expected that before the first magistrate of the county was finished, the general trend of the world would change drastically.

Originally, he could have abandoned the official and fled, but he was reluctant to buy the capital spent by the official...... It's good now, the life of an official is in danger!

In order to survive, Tao Zhixian had no choice but to explain honestly, "Then, Nani (I) will talk about it...... This, land plus farmers is an industry, and uncultivated land is nothing! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not hack the land of the gentry and landlords, but hacked the land along with the tenants! ”
