Three days after this meeting in Jincheng, the news of Zhu Feng's death came, and he was attacked and killed on the way, and died in the mountains not far from his home.

When Shen Zhezi got the news, he was still discussing the detailed rules for recruiting troops with various families in the township, and the news was handed over to him and directly spread in the banquet. After learning the news, everyone was half sighing and half regretting, and there were many people who expressed apprehension or thoughtfulness, but they did not linger on this issue for too long.

There is no lack of chaos under order, and there is also order in the midst of strife. Shen Zhezi did not send someone to rob and kill Zhu Feng, if he had such an idea, there was no need to let him go at all. As for the hands of whom this person died, there is no need to delve into it.

Zhu Fengqi is not a mediocre person, he was a strong native when he was alive, and his death would bring a lot of variables. The first reaction of these villagers here after receiving the news is not to grieve for it, but to do their best to direct the variables in a direction that is beneficial to them.

Therefore, soon, there was no shortage of people who expressed their heartache and expressed their willingness to do their best to sweep the countryside and arrest the murderers, so as to prevent the villagers from being harmed by the strong beams again.

But after a while, this part of the enthusiastic people found that the atmosphere was a little delicate, and many villagers in the banquet looked indifferent and showed little interest in it, and several Huainan officials, including Shen Zhezi, were also silent. In this way, it was shown that they seemed to be a little too out of place, and they all sat down in disagreement.

"Wang Shi has been fighting for a long time and is tired, but such evil things have happened in the township, he should have worked tirelessly to annihilate the opposition, but now that the northern captives are in great trouble, they really dare not move lightly. Fortunately, the proposal to recruit troops in the township has been decided, and it is necessary to rely on the villagers to promote this matter as soon as possible, and the new army will be formed, and the countryside will be dispatched immediately to kill the thieves and thieves, so that the villagers will not suffer for a long time. ”

Zhu Feng died at such a moment, either someone was ambitious and wanted to annex him, or someone wanted to sacrifice with this head. But how to deal with this matter is actually a test of Shen Zhezi's agreement with these township sects.

There is no evidence in everything, and the facts are the most convincing. Of course, Shen Zhezi can also be more domineering, taking advantage of the leaderlessness of Zhu Fengzhi's group of dragons, he directly led the crowd to break through the dock wall and take all his wealth. It will make the viewer suspicious, and everyone is in danger.

Therefore, this kind of local matter still has to be handed over to the villagers to solve, of course, Shen Zhezi can't stay out of the matter, and said with a smile to a few villagers who are quite strong and have shown obvious joy: "Now in the town, there is also a shortage of households. This time, if you can collect the people who are wandering and eating, you should still focus on relief and appeasement, and don't kill too much in the countryside. ”

After everyone heard this, they were naturally busy expressing their positions, praising the gentleman for being benevolent, which can be regarded as an agreement to divide Zhu Fengqi's people. As for how the final harvest should be distributed, it is also a test of each other's bottom line.

For the execution of these local tyrants, Shen Zhezi has full confidence. It must be known that his family itself is a local tyrant Wuzong, and in his early years, he was ruthless when he used Wang Dun's momentum to clean up dissidents in the township, and he was almost buried alive by the villagers after following the rebellion halfway.

When the tacit understanding of the villagers to protect is broken, no matter how strong the Haozong portal is, it can't fight the vast sea of the masses. Zhu Feng's death was like a signal, and the situation in the countryside around Shouchun was detonated almost instantly.

The dock wall owners with a little strength and ambition have dispatched one after another, in the name of suppressing bandits, and pounced on the long-coveted target. And those weak and cowardly people are also scrambling to get closer to Shouchun and surrender to Chengcheng in order to seek refuge.

Shen Zhezi is like an experienced hunter, always sitting firmly in Shouchun, dispatching troops, and always controlling the brawl within a certain scale. Once there is a slight outrage and there is a suspicion of indiscriminate killing, the rangers will be immediately mobilized and the momentum of attack and suppression will be launched.

The brawl started suddenly, and it ended quickly, and in less than a month, the Sixth Army had been formed, and even the garrisons in the defense area had formed an approximate scale. At the cost, the small dock walls that were still in the middle of nowhere in the countryside are almost gone, some have been annexed, and some are completely attached to Shouchun.

The Dingkou in the hands of the county government has skyrocketed during this period of time, and at least more than 10,000 Dingkou households have been naturalized. And after the chaos ended, all the armies also reported the results of the suppression of bandits, and they took nearly 20,000 households in Dingkou.

Of course, these people have not yet returned to the county government, and they need to wait until Shen Zhezi fulfills his promise, and those dock wall owners who have the last laugh will obediently sacrifice the population. If Shen Zhezi broke his word and became fat, then it is conceivable what the attitude of these dock wall masters who have grown up in the chaos is.

And Shen Zhezi did not dwell on this problem, and when the Liangjun side's assets came again, he immediately sent people to count the armor, swords and other ordnance, and sent them to each army. At the same time, for those who took the initiative to take refuge in the small dock wall, Shen Zhezi did not break his promise and win all the people, but demarcated the Tuntian area and gave them a semi-independent status.

The newly built six armies were completely composed of the Huainan people, and at the same time, they were also led by the local villagers. But in fact, the only ones who are really independent and completely outside the control of Shen Zhezi are the three armies.

One of the armies was Ling Zhuo, the lord of the dock wall, who saw the opportunity quickly and quickly changed his attitude. But he was detained in Shouchun by Shen Zhezi in the name of discussing the military affairs of the township, and in the past there was a fight in the township, but he failed to make a difference. But Shen Zhezi still granted him the position of military master, after all, he was also a representative of the dock wall master, and his strength was completely undamaged.

There is also a military lord Li Cang, with a beggar army background, brave and good at fighting can be described as a fierce general, originally Zhu Feng's subordinates, Zhu Feng after his death gathered a part of the dock wall to guard the villagers to besiege, and at the same time handed Shouchun a letter of surrender, so that it was preserved, inherited a considerable part of Zhu Feng's old department.

The last case is a bit special, named Feng Ju, compared to the background of other dock wall owners who have more or less wandered here, this Feng Ju was born and raised in this realm, and the history of the family business can even be traced back to the Later Han Dynasty. This Fengjiawu wall stands in the north of the west of Shaobi, and most of the more than 1,000 households are blood relatives of the same clan, but there is a little color of the big dock wall in Hebei.

These three people stand in their own villages, although they also receive military horns, but they are not intimate with Shouchun, and have a strong independence. Although they obeyed the orders of the county government, it was impossible for Shen Zhezi to use the dispatch like an arm.

As for the other three military masters, one of them was that Qiao Qiu, who was originally an old general when Dai Yuan went north to clamp down on Zu Li in the early years, and later Dai Yuan was killed by Wang Dun and defected to the Yuzhou army. When Zu Yue led the people to rebel, he broke away from Zu Yue with Huan Xuan, but he did not go away, but he was far away. After Shen Zhezi entered the town, he was invited to return to the royal system.

There is also a person named Han Cheng, who is a local villager who led Guo Yu's troops into Shouchun earlier, and he himself does not have too strong troops, but because of this merit, he also recruited some villagers to form a military horse.

As for the last one, Shen Zhezi simply appointed his protégé Tian Jing, really because these local dock masters couldn't pick out a candidate who could convince the public and had both talents. As for the other Huainan villagers who have military merits, they were also selected by Shen Zhezi to be incorporated into the army, which can be regarded as rain and dew.

In the past month, clearing the countryside and recruiting people into an army, and when the dust settles, there is no doubt that Shen Zhezi's control over this realm has greatly increased. It is no longer a dock wall, unconstrained, although there is still a bit of disharmony, such as the three armies that are independent of the defense of the Huainan Army.

But to be able to build a clear and clear order in such a short period of time is quite rare, and there is no need to force perfection. Now in the vicinity of Shouchun, plus the crowd of the three armies, the Huainan Army has more than 50,000 soldiers with regular banners!

And between Liangjun, Hefei and Liyang, if the war requires, more than 10,000 reserves can still be transferred one after another. But in this way, it will inevitably affect production and operation. Therefore, at the moment, there is no rush to draw adjustments and form an army.

Even so, the forces that Shou Chun had gathered had reached a limit. In fact, if it weren't for the chaos in which each family donated more than 100,000 grains, Shouchun would already be in danger of running out of food.

A few years ago, the Shen family poured all their wealth into Liang County, and even if there was some surplus, it was exhausted in the first war of Huainan. Fortunately, now that the pattern of longevity has been completed, Shen Zhezi can focus on draining the financial resources of the people of Jiangdong.

A year ago, in order to compete for time, and the situation in Jiangbei was not clear at that time, the Shen family could only move to the bottom of the warehouse and develop it alone. Although his family presides over the Wuzhong Business Alliance and Duzhong Dingcang, those participants also have interests, and when it is obvious that there is no prospect of returns, if the Shen family insists on going its own way, the result can only be self-defeating.

But now it's different, now the important town of Shouchun has been restored, and Huaishui is a solid defense. Shen Zhezi was in charge of more than 50,000 soldiers, and there was no military disaster in the entire Huainan.

Moreover, after this purge, the number of people in the control of the county government has also surged, and it has suddenly reached several times, reaching more than 200,000. Of course, a considerable part of it is still in the hands of the dock wall master who is attached to it, which is also the room left by Shen Zhezi, and he doesn't want to do things desperately. As he stays in Shouchun for a long time, this part of the people will definitely be gradually naturalized through various channels in the future, and will no longer be sheltered in the door.

In any era, population means wealth. What's more, the geographical environment around Shouchun is extremely superior, and the degree of development is even better than that of Huiji. As long as you take a little time off, you will have a steady stream of harvests.

The Wuzhong Business Alliance has been operating for many years, at least those families in Wuzhong have long been accustomed to the operation of squandering their wealth and rolling profits. Especially sitting in Huainan, it is the Shen family, which is the leader of their Wuzhong, so there is no need to even mobilize, as early as the beginning of the spring tide, there are a large number of people in Jiangdong who go north by boat to find wealth opportunities.

When these people arrived, the people of Huainan Township were in full swing. They saw with their own eyes that even if the horses arrived in Jiangbei, they were still so bad that they were bubbling, and those dock masters couldn't turn the sky, so their confidence was undoubtedly greater.
