After resigning Su Sanniang, Feng Yunshan led the guards back to Guiyang City, and the acting temple Bo Shu Jiang Zhongshu led two messengers, running over with sweat, seeing Feng Yunshan, he said happily: "Holy King, the messenger from Yongzhou Mansion has something important to report!" ”

After following Feng Yunshan out of Daozhou for more than a month, Jiang Zhongshu lost a little weight, a little less scholarly, and more lean. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The messenger was talking about news from the capital city of Yongzhou. Xiang Rong, the commander of the Qing demon, led thousands of Qing troops, carried 2,000 people, and carried a large number of supplies, and went north by boat from the capital city of Yongzhou and marched to Changsha. A large number of squires in the Yongzhou area followed him and took refuge in Hengzhou Mansion.

So, Xiang Rong, the demon head, actually gave up Yongzhou Mansion and rushed to Changsha? It seems that the Qing Demon is determined to win the Changsha City conquered by the Taiping Army, and he must have been under great pressure to make Xiang Rong give up the Yongzhou Mansion City and rush to Changsha. But from another angle, Feng Yunshan couldn't help but worry about Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing. Since Xiang Rong chose to rush to Changsha, he must have felt that he would definitely be able to recover Changsha, and such a credit was greater than the occupation of Yongzhou Prefecture, so he would choose this way.

However, the hateful thing is that Xiang Rong, as the messenger said, carried the people and a large number of supplies, and many squires followed and fled to Hengzhou. Feng Yunshan guessed that if Xiang Rong delayed for so many days, he must have looted all the Yongzhou City, requisitioned all the people in the city, moved all the squires, and turned Yongzhou City into an abandoned empty city for himself. This Xiang Rong is a fierce opponent, so resolute and ruthless.

But I still had to take it. However, since the Qing demon did this, he had to take advantage of it, and it happened that the squires of Yongzhou Mansion fled, and the fields left behind were guarded by tenants, so there was no resistance to taking the opportunity to confiscate their fields. It just so happened that a while ago, He Jianji sent someone to report that not only the land of Daozhou and one prefecture, but also the fields of Jianghua Yongming and Ningyuan counties had been inventoried.

At that moment, Feng Yunshan decided to rush back to Daozhou in person to preside over the land reform in the area of Daozhou.

Originally, Feng Yunshan wanted to carry out land reform after occupying Daozhou, but later found that his territory was too small, and the people in the Daozhou area thought that he would be driven out sooner or later. Even if the people also support the division of land and land, he does not dare to divide it, who knows that one day the Manchu government will come back again, it will become a big crime of banditry.

It's different now! Not only were several counties in the Daozhou area occupied by the Taiping Holy Army, but even Guiyang, Chenzhou, and even Guangdong and Guangxi were occupied by the Taiping Holy Army, and the Holy Army's strength was also much stronger. All these can give the people confidence to trust. I feel that this is really going to change, and the government will not fight back. Besides, so many places divide the land, even if the government really comes back, if it wants to be investigated, it will be too involved to be investigated. The cleverness of the common people, Feng Yunshan can imagine. Now, with the might of the Taiping Sacred Army's offensive, the conditions are ripe for land reform in the Daozhou area.

Before leaving, there are still some things to decorate.

Feng Yunshan asked Huang Yiyun, the chief of the Holy Army, to be in charge of the management of the land of Guiyang and Chenzhou, and asked Chen Shuitai, Liu Youqing and others to assist in a game. Feng Yunshan asked Chen Shuitai to search for miners everywhere, and then took all the prisoners sent from all over the country into the mines, and under the supervision of the holy soldiers, they mined all the useful mines that could be mined nearby.

Liang Litai was ordered to be responsible for commanding the remaining 14,000 holy soldiers in Chenzhou and holding the land of Chenzhou. Waiting for the opportunity to go north to capture the two counties of Leiyang and Changning in Hengzhou, attract the Qing army, and by the way, connect the two capitals of Chenzhou and Yongzhou.

On the day he was about to leave, a brigade commander of the Holy First Army escorted Ye Mingchen, the acting governor of Liangguang, to Guiyang, along with nearly 2,000 Qing prisoners. The brigade commander explained that the 5,000 Qing demons led by Ye Mingchen were all annihilated, but after being stunned by the poisonous smoke, nearly 2,000 people failed to wake up, and the remaining 3,000 selected nearly 1,000 soldiers who were forced to join the Qing soldiers and incorporated them into the Holy Army, and the remaining 2,000 Qingyong were sent to Guiyang to work as miners.

Two thousand Qingyong were captured, and Feng Yunshan was not interested in seeing them. There are so many mines in Guiyang that are short of people, and there is no need to use free labor, so they directly send it to Chen Shuitai and let them mine under the supervision of the holy soldiers.

For Ye Mingchen, Feng Yunshan definitely wants to meet him, and he is going to do some experiments on him.

"Brother Shengbang, bring the bottle of medicine that this king made out the day before yesterday, be careful not to break it. Go and meet the Qing demon head Ye Mingchen. Feng Yunshan shouted.

A sturdy man immediately flashed out of the house, it was Liu Shengbang, the guard of the imperial forest. A few days ago, Liu Shengbang's body injuries had been healed, so he returned to Feng Yunshan's side to protect him.

"Holy King, is this the bottle?" Liu Shengbang saw Feng Yunshan two days ago, and used the thing called Yi * Fan and others to tinker with a few bottles and cans, and then packed up and packed more than a dozen porcelain bottles.

Feng Yunshan saw a porcelain bottle with "mini pills" written in ink, nodded, and walked towards the backyard of the state government.

"His subordinate Qiu Chaogui was added as the commander of the brigade in the rear division of the Holy First Army. Ordered to escort the demon head Ye Mingchen to arrive! A lean man stepped forward and saluted, it was the brigade commander who escorted Ye Mingchen.

"Brother Qiu has worked hard all the way! This demon still refuses to reveal any information? Feng Yunshan asked. When the messenger reported the news that day, he mentioned that Ye Mingchen was extremely stubborn, no matter how insulted and whipped by the holy army, he didn't say a word, and he was stopped by the holy soldiers guarding him several times when he wanted to die.

"Back to the Holy King, this demon head is very tough, and we can't let him speak."

Feng Yunshan didn't say anything more, just let Qiu Chaogui go to the side to rest first. He walked towards Ye Mingchen, who was tied up and locked in a wooden cage by Wuhuada.

Liu Shengbang stepped forward, opened the wooden cage, and pulled the people inside. He looked like an old man in his sixties, with a sparse beard on his chin, his eyes closed, his mouth open, and some dry bloodshot at the corners of his mouth, it was Ye Mingchen.

Seeing Ye Mingchen, who was less than fifty years old, actually looking like this, Feng Yunshan knew how unkind the holy soldiers were to him along the way.

"Ye Demon Head, open your dog's eyes, in front of you is the Saint King of my Taiping Holy Army, I have come to see you!" Liu Shengbang patted the wooden cage and shouted.

Feng Yunshan waved his hand at Liu Shengbang, looked at Ye Mingchen, who opened his eyes and looked at him, and smiled: "Lord Ye, I can't imagine such a day, right?" Speaking of which, Feng is still a native of Huaxian County, Guangdong, and the adult is Feng's parental official. ”

"Listening to your tone, you are also like a scholar, why do you do such an insulting thing to the prince of heaven and earth? If you get lost, listen to Zhao'an, dismiss everyone, and serve the court, Ye Moubao will be prosperous and rich in your life. Ye Mingchen's voice was hoarse, but he persuaded Feng Yunshan to come.

"Hahaha! Lord Ye is really ridiculous! Defecting to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and being a slave to the Qing chieftain is what a scholar should do? Feng Mou is anti-Qing, not for glory and wealth, but for the people of the world, and no longer be a slave of the Qing demon for generations! ”

"That being the case, needless to say! If you want to kill, you can kill it, Ye is waiting for you in the underworld! After Ye Mingchen finished speaking, he closed his mouth and eyes, and no longer looked at Feng Yunshan.

"Lord Ye, I advise you to obediently tell you the distribution of the Qing Demon forces in Guangdong Mansion that you know, so as not to suffer hardship!" Feng Yunshan shouted.

Ye Mingchen ignored it, as if he hadn't heard it.

Feng Yunshan gestured to Liu Shengbang and said to Ye Mingchen: "In this case, Lord Ye, Feng will personally send you on the road!" After speaking, he said to Liu Shengbang: "Shengbang, feed 2 pieces of the highly poisonous medicine to Lord Ye and send him on the road!" ”

Ye Mingchen opened his eyes, his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Come on!" After speaking, he took the initiative to open his mouth and swallowed the 2 pills handed over by Liu Shengbang into his abdomen.

After a while, I saw Ye Mingchen shaking his head, as if he felt dizzy, and then he collapsed to the ground in a daze. After another while, Ye Mingchen seemed to be beating faster, panting, and the pupils in his eyes began to expand.

Feng Yunshan and Liu Shengbang looked at each other and smiled. It's done!

"Lord Taiwan, you are so young and you don't have much merit, why are you promoted so quickly?" Feng Yunshan asked softly on the side.

"Ye.. Loyal to the monarch....loyal to the monarch, more than ten years to calm down... Quelling the rebellious party and anti-thief uprisings in dozens of places, suppressing and killing the rebellious people... Nearly 200,000, sharing the worries of the monarch's father, is it not a great achievement? Ye Mingchen, who had his eyes closed, sleepwalking, half-sat up, and smirked as if showing off when he talked about his merits.

"Lord Taiwan, some people say that the defense of Guangzhou City was arranged by General Guangzhou. I don't know how the troops around Guangzhou City are arranged? Do you have the right to transfer? ”

"Nonsense. Mutern that dog....east.. West, although it is a good ...... A few years of Guangzhou generals, but the Guangzhou armament is still used... Kangxi Ye....The old system, or when the official took office as governor........ suggested that the imperial court strengthen ...... Guangzhou Haikou and estuary patrol. The more Ye Mingchen spoke, the smoother he became, and his mouth no longer stammered, "There are Humen, Chaozhou, Nanao, Qiongzhou, Gaolian, Yingde and Huizhou outside Guangzhou, each with a town marked by a general army led by a general army to garrison, with a total of nearly 30,000 green battalion troops. In the city of Guangzhou, the east city is the Yamen of the Governor of Guangzhou, the Yamen of the Governor, the Secretary of the Administration, the Gongyuan, the Guangzhou Fuxue, the Money Bureau and other civil official districts, and the West City is the military general area of the Guangzhou General Office, the Deputy Commander Yamen, and the barracks of the banners. From the twenty-first year of Daoguang, the green battalion soldiers went out of the city, and the prevention and control of the city was all defended by the Eight Banners, with a total of nearly 4,000 people. The Eight Banners were mainly stationed in the area from Guide Gate to Dabeimen, and the Han people could not enter the mixed residence, with the Eight Banners of the Han Army in the north and the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the south. ”

"Lord Taiwan, I heard that General Guangzhou controlled the troops of Guangdong, so didn't Lord Taiwan become an ornament?" Feng Yunshan asked seductively again.

"Nonsense! He Muten only commanded the Eight Banners garrison banner soldiers, and only controlled the Nanshaolian Zhenbiao and the other seven towns together with the Governor, Guangzhou City Guard Association, Sanjiangkou Association, Huanggang Association, Luo Ding Association, Zengcheng two battalions each, Nanxiong Association and Qinzhou one battalion, Leizhou Zuoying, Qianshan, Yongjing, Lianyang, Huilai, Xiaoping, Chaoyang, Lianzhou, Danzhou, Wanzhou, Heping, Sihui, Nafu, Yong'an, Xingning, Pingzhen, Chaozhou City Shou, Shicheng, Yangchun, Sanshui, Xuwen, Suiyao and other battalions. Supervision, caressing, and raising standards are not under his jurisdiction. ”

Feng Yunshan was secretly amused when he heard it, this Ye Mingchen was really hard-mouthed. Obviously, in addition to his own direct supervision, caressing, and promotion, the rest of the green battalions are almost all under the command of the Guangzhou general, which is said to be controlled together, but the Guangzhou general is a Manchurian, a military attachΓ©, and a long tenure, so he must be better than him in the green battalion.

"Lord Zhengtai, do you know what are the important places of the Guangzhou City Flag Soldiers?" Feng Yunshan asked directly.

"That's all there is in the Banner Soldier City, as well as an arrow dojo, a horse ring and a school field. As for the outside of the city, there are several important places. The Eight Banners Artillery Field is in Yantang in the east of the city, and the gunpowder magazine is in Guanyin Mountain. Well, what do you ask for? Who are you? Yes..... What have you done to me? Ye Mingchen suddenly opened his eyes, his face was pale, and he looked at Feng Yunshan in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

Feng Yunshan saw that he came to his senses and knew that there was no point in asking again, so he ignored him and asked Liu Shengbang to tie him up and stuff him into a wooden cage, and then left.
