Chapter 109: I see
Gao Huaiyuan sat in Ganzhou, divided the soldiers and horses under his command into several branches, let the generals lead, and attacked separately, more than two months, he basically shook down the people in the area of Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road, and severely punished a large number of greedy magistrates and a large number of big landlords who oppressed the people, spit out a large number of land they forcibly annexed, and returned it to those people, and exempted the local people from the heavy miscellaneous taxes, so that the people have nothing to complain about.

When he was doing these things, he didn't care about his status at all, even if it was a relative of the emperor, as long as it was verified that they forcibly annexed the land of the common people, he still pressed their necks and spit it out, and he held the military power in his hands, although these local tyrants were not convinced, but they did not dare to confront it head-on, so they could only honestly follow his requirements and spit out the land they had seized and return it to the people.
After some rectification, the people of Jiangnan West Road praised Gao Huaiyuan as Gao Qingtian, even if some people wanted to make trouble, they gradually lost their mass base, and they could only become bandits, and they couldn't become any atmosphere.
However, Gao Huaiyuan did this, and at the same time offended a large number of Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road and other southern wealthy families, the reason why these people can be powerful in the local area, in fact, to put it bluntly, there are people in the court, but Gao Huaiyuan hit them with such thunderous means, so that they did not dare to disobey, they could only ask people to continue to sue in the capital, and for a while, all kinds of complaints flocked into the capital like snowflakes.
However, after these papers arrived in the capital, they were all pressed down by the Criminal Department or the Political Affairs Yuan, and even some of the papers presented in front of Zhao Yun were left in the middle and not issued, as if the court did not see these people's complaints at all.
However, at the same time, the imperial court issued an edict and strictly ordered all localities to begin to ban the people's newspaper, and once it was found that anyone dared to print, distribute, or circulate this people's newspaper, they were all punished as serious crimes, and for a time a terrifying atmosphere was set off in all parts of the country.
As soon as the imperial decree was issued, they all began to roll up their arms and sleeves, and sent messengers, arresters, and village warriors to raid the people's newspapers along the streets, and after collecting them, they burned them in a concentrated manner, and Jiangnan East Road and Jinghu South Road also confiscated two workshops that printed people's newspapers, and arrested some personnel responsible for distributing these people's newspapers.
This incident also caused a shock between the government and the opposition, and the common people did not understand why a popular newspaper they liked to see on weekdays would attract such a strict ban by the imperial court, but no one dared to face the disobedience to the holy decree in this matter.
Gao Huaiyuan went out of Ganzhou City under the pretext of patrolling that day, stopped in a small village, and was soon taken to a very inconspicuous courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed in cloth immediately welcomed him into the house, and Erhu immediately arranged for his own soldiers to strictly guard this small village.
Humble Zhang Fang see the lord! After the middle-aged man welcomed Gao Huaiyuan into the house and invited him to take a seat, he quickly knelt down and said to Gao Huaiyuan.
Don't be so polite, get up and speak! After Gao Huaiyuan glanced at this Zhang Fang, he stretched out his hand to let him get up.
Zhang Fang hurriedly stood up and carefully stood in Gao Huaiyuan's subordinate position.
You've done a good job this time, and you're tired! Gao Huaiyuan praised him politely.
Don't dare to be, this matter is all arranged by the peak, the small one is just implemented according to the plan, and the lord praises it! Zhang Fang hurriedly bowed down and said.
You don't have to take credit for Judge! I naturally saw your credit, if it weren't for your risk to surrender to Chen Sangun this time and win his trust, then I wouldn't have put down the Chen Sangun Rebellion so easily this time, your credit is yours, I won't see it!
But now the matter has basically been calmed down, many people in the rebels know you, and you are hiding in this place, obviously not very safe, today I want to come to see you, in addition to telling you, you should not stay here for a long time, I have arranged a boat for you in Quanzhou, and arranged someone to escort you to Quanzhou, you take the boat to Haizhou immediately.
You go directly to Liu Chengyi in Haizhou, he has already arranged everything for you, and you will do things on Liu Chengyi's side in the future!
Gao Huaiyuan said to Zhang Fang with a smile.
When Zhang Fang heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him: Thank you for your humble position, and you will definitely do a good job in Haizhou!
It turns out that this Zhang Fang is the Tian Kebang who gave advice to Chen Sangun some time ago, and he has already changed his appearance at this time, if ordinary people don't look carefully, they will definitely not recognize him as the Tian Lao Dao who was deeply trusted by Chen Sangun, in fact, Zhang Fang is a subordinate of Jia Qi, who was mainly responsible for the intelligence system of Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road and other places, and he was the first to find out about Chen Sangun and Zhang Mowang's plan to rebel, and notified Jia Qi in advance, this time Jia Qi wanted Gao Huaiyuan to recover as soon as possible, arranged for Zhang Fang to join Chen Sangun's hands as a veteran of Tian Kebang, helped Chen Sangun to strategize, and provided Chen Sangun with a lot of financial help, which made Chen Sangun grow stronger in a short period of time, and the defeat of Liu Qi and Yao Yuzhong at the beginning, there was also Jia Qi's intelligence system to do tricks in it, so Liu Qi and Yao Yuzhong were defeated.
It was also this Zhang Fang who sent all the information of Chen Sangun to Gao Huaiyuan, and deceived Chen Sangun to concentrate most of his troops and confronted Gao Huaiyuan in Jizhou, and also let Chen Sangun Chen soldiers in Jiangbei, and made his cronies defect, set fire to Chen Sangun's grain on the south bank of the Enjiang River, and burned the pontoon bridge on the Enjiang River, which eventually led to Chen Sangun's defeat and capture.
Gao Huaiyuan's extermination of Chen Sangun this time, in fact, most of the credit was due to the intelligence provided by Zhang Fang secretly, so that he was always very clear about the deployment of Chen Sangun's troops, and adopted countermeasures to defeat Chen Sangun's rebels in one fell swoop.
And Zhang Fang also quietly left Ganzhou City when the army was about to arrive in Ganzhou, and hid in this inconspicuous village, so that the rebels in Ganzhou were leaderless, and a large number of defections were turned under the influence of the inner line, and the city was begged to surrender, so Gao Huaiyuan would so easily put down the rebellion of Chen Sangun and Zhang Demon King.
Therefore, Zhang Fang has made a great contribution to Gao Huaiyuan this time, when the situation is settled, Gao Huaiyuan will naturally not forget Zhang Fang, a hero, so he specially came here to meet Zhang Fang, and arranged his retreat, let him go to Jingdong to do things, after he was recognized in the province, he was caught by the imperial court and ruined his big event.
After Gao Huaiyuan ordered Erhu to arrange the most reliable subordinates to send Zhang Fang away, he pretended to visit the people in the Ganzhou area, and then returned to Ganzhou City.
As soon as he returned to the city, he had not yet sat down, when one of Judge's men hurried to his temporary marshal's mansion and was recruited into the secret room by Gao Huaiyuan.
After listening to the report of Jia Qi's subordinates, Gao Huaiyuan frowned and sighed again: So from your point of view, what does this matter mean?
This Jia Qi's subordinate bowed down to Gao Huaiyuan and replied: "Lord Qi, our Jia Lao (everyone in Gao Huaiyuan's intelligence system calls Jia Qi Lao) thinks that the current official family has begun to guard against you! This ban on the people's newspaper is just the first thing the official family does, I am afraid that if this continues, the official family, Zheng Xiang and others will have new actions!
Jia Lao also found that Zheng Xiang and Jiankang's guard Ma Junsi have been in close contact recently, and they have also had close contacts with Chen Zhen, Chen Zhen has been in and out of the palace many times recently, but because many of our people in the palace have been transferred out of the palace, I can't find out what Chen Zhen said to the official family when he entered the palace!
But recently, there are very few people in the court who are very abnormal in the court to impeach adults, and there are many Wenchen who have written to ask for merit for the lord, Jia Lao and Mr. Ji have already met, Mr. Ji said that these people who ask for merit for the lord are basically not people from the lord's department, and they are now writing to ask the saint to be crowned king for the lord! Mr. Jia and Mr. Ji both think that there must be a conspiracy behind this matter!
When Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he immediately tightened his brows again, stood up and turned around the secret room a few times with his hands behind his back, and then his brows stretched.
Looks like they're trying to kill me!
Sure enough, within a few days, the imperial court sent a proclamation eunuch to Ganzhou City, announcing the appointment of Chen Boots as the pacification envoy of Jiangnan West Road, replacing Gao Huaiyuan to be responsible for suppressing the remnants of the rebels on Jiangnan West Road, and let the 20,000 elite soldiers of the palace who went south with Gao Huaiyuan temporarily stationed on Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road, and let Chen Boots dispatch to quell the chaos, and asked Gao Huaiyuan to return to Beijing immediately, saying that the saint wanted to seal Gao Huaiyuan Yunyun.
After Gao Huaiyuan received the order, he couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart, and his heart really came
After he handed over the affairs at hand with Chen Boot, who rushed to Ganzhou, and ordered his subordinates to come over to consult Chen Boots, Gao Huaiyuan led three hundred soldiers and embarked on the road back to Beijing.
On the way, he received an urgent report from Jia Qi again, saying that the imperial court had transferred 30,000 soldiers and horses from Jiankang Mansion to the Beijing Division, and in the name of Gao Huaiyuan, the 20,000 soldiers of the Dianqian Division would go south to quell the chaos, and the Beijing Division was empty, and the Ma Military Division was temporarily transferred back to the Beijing Division to defend Gyeonggi.
After Gao Huaiyuan saw this urgent report, he immediately put it on the candle flame and lit it, and then threw it on the ground and crushed it into ashes.
(Merry Christmas to the brethren!) )
