Is your father a cultivator?To give you such a name.

After the introduction, Tang Yuqi invited Zhao Han into the city.

Zhao Han waved his hand and said: "No need, marching quickly. The army rests here for half a day, and will continue on its way tomorrow morning. Mr. Tang, the most urgent task is to take over the city, and then determine the household register and divide the land. All rebel brothers, you can help clear the register and divide it. Tian, ​​these things need your support.”

Tang Yuqi said: "Don't worry, Zongzhen, I will definitely get things done!"

Li Yu suddenly said: "General Town, can I go out with the army?"

"Okay, your name is auspicious." Zhao Han said with a smile.

Smiling and laughing, Zhao Han suddenly realized that this fucking is the author of "Meat X Group", the teacher spent two lectures in class to explain it!

Of course, it is definitely not "Meat X Group".

Li Yu is a playwright first, and then a family, and he can live a wealthy life with the royalties.

He hit it off with Pu Songling, who was a friend of Grandpa Cao Xueqin.Among Li Yu's friends, there are more than 800 people with written records.From the prime minister to the trafficker, it covers more than 200 states and counties across the country.

This is a platinum prolific best-selling author with friends all over the world in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

In fact, he is a doctor and a scholar.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they refused to be officials.He built bridges and paved roads in his hometown for water conservancy projects, and the dams he built were still used for irrigation hundreds of years later.In the process of building the canal, I was made things difficult by Hao Qiang, lost the lawsuit, and became disheartened, so I switched to writing.

The army stayed in Lanxi County for half a day, and continued on their way in the early morning of the next day. The newly dispatched [-] forwards had almost arrived at Yanzhou Prefecture.

After entering the mountainous area, the scenery on both sides made Zhao Han frown.

Most of the scattered farm houses on the hillsides are dilapidated, and the eaves are covered with weeds and no one has cleaned them up.

Zhao Han called Li Yu over: "Even if it is a hillside dry field, but it is adjacent to the river, it shouldn't be like this. I see that at least half of these farm houses are left unattended. Could it be that everyone in the family has died?"

Li Yu replied: "There has been a severe drought for many years, and the government has paid heavy taxes. It is difficult to survive. This is not the case here, it is the case everywhere in Zhejiang. Other places, the whole family died, and their own neighbors occupied their houses. But this is a remote village. After the farmhouse was abandoned, few people took it seriously."

"Just talk about the village where your family is located. How many people died in the last severe drought?" Zhao Han asked.

Li Yu said: "There were not many deaths in the first year of the severe drought. In the second year of the severe drought, there was famine everywhere. Only because of the government's pressure and the landlord's exploitation, the people's only rations were also taken away. They either fled to Hangzhou and Shaoxing, or fled to Jiangxi. Countless people starved to death. One person fell down, and there was no body the next day. In the village where Wansheng lives, as far as I know, three people have eaten human flesh.”

"Oh." Zhao Han sighed.

Li Yu continued: "This year is fine, there is no drought in Zhejiang. But the government tax is heavier, and many poor scholars can't solve the problem at home. Therefore, Xu Zikou (Xu Du), the leader of the Yishe, stood up and raised his arms. Scholars from more than ten counties in the prefecture responded to each other."

In this uprising in central Zhejiang, many scholars were hungry.

Yishe, which belongs to the branch of Fushe, aims to expel the traitors in the court and select talents to revitalize the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, these scholars were forced to rebel collectively.

Zhao Han blamed himself a little, maybe he should have come last year, and captured Zhejiang earlier, so that many people would not starve to death.

The farmhouses on the bank were empty, and Zhao Han's heart was also empty.

A dilapidated farm house means the death of a whole family, and Zhao Han hates this kind of situation very much.

Halfway through the journey, a small boat came, but it was the vanguard who sent information back.

Zhao Han opened the letter and saw that it was the army recruited by the Governor of Zhejiang, who had already stationed in Yanzhou Prefecture, blocking the main road to prevent the Datong Army from going straight to Hangzhou.

Chapter 303 [Soldiers kill through Zhejiang without bloodshed]

Officials of the Yanzhou government have already run away ahead of time.

There is only one Yanzhou Tuiguan and one Jiande magistrate left.

The war is imminent, Xiong Fenwei, the governor of Zhejiang, is paying homage to a memorial archway in the city.

It was Sanyuanfang in Shangren, the only Sanyuan and No. [-] Scholar in the Ming Dynasty-there was another one who was removed from the list.

Worshiping the sages is just one of them. If Xiong Fenwei wants to gain the support of the Shang family, he must show enough respect for Shang Ren.

I don't want your respect!

The merchants were about to cry. They would rather wait for the land to be divided than accompany the governor to resist.

The Shang family's hometown is in Chun'an County, and those who moved to Yanzhou Prefecture all make a living by doing business, because there are not many acres of land in Yanzhou!

Since the family has no land to divide, why resist Zhao Tianwang?

"Fu Jun, Bandit Zhao is here!"

The worship ceremony ended hastily, and Xiong Fenwei hurried to defend the city.

The military talker, who had impeached several Ministers of the Ministry of War, hurried up the tower and saw the fleet coming from Dongyang River (Lanjiang).

Not long after, the fleet suddenly turned and went straight to the west.

The vanguard of 3000 people didn't care about Yanzhou, a strategic place where the three rivers converge.

Going upstream along the river, the next city is Chun'an, and the next city is Huizhou!

There belonged to the headquarters of Huizhou merchants, and many merchants secretly informed Zhao Han.If you go there, you can seize the city. After Huizhou is captured, all Huizhou merchants in Yangzhou will definitely come here.

"This is, going to Chun'an?" Xiong Fenwei muttered.

Chen Liangbi, the magistrate of Jiande County, said: "I must go to Chun'an, but I don't know if Chun'an can be kept."

Chen Liangbi was more unlucky. He should have been reused. When the Qing soldiers went south, he supported the defense of Nanjing alone.But in this time and space, Chen Liangbi was released because his hometown had been occupied by Zhao Han.

Xiong Fenwei said confidently: "It doesn't matter if Chun'an is lost. As long as the capital city of Yanzhou is still there, the Zhao thieves will not dare to go straight to Hangzhou. This is the main road where the three rivers converge. If they leave without taking Yanzhou, the Zhao thieves will be in danger of being cut off. .”

Chen Liangbi hesitated to speak, and didn't know how to refute.

The more Xiong Fenwei said, the more confident he became: "The bandit Zhao is a man who knows how to fight. He can't tolerate any loss of food and morals, so he will definitely attack Yanzhou's capital. As long as he storms the capital, he will fall into the trap. Our army lacks training and dare not go out to fight in the city, but The preparations are sufficient, the defense of the city is more than sufficient, and the bandits of Zhao will lose their troops and generals in Yanzhou."

"The Fu army is strategizing, and Zhuge Kongming's resurrection is nothing more than that!" Yanzhou pusher Feng Bingqing said flatteringly.

Xiong Fenwei smiled and looked at the river, stroking his beard quite contentedly.

At noon the next day, Zhao Han's main force arrived.

Zhao Han took out the binoculars, observed the situation, and said directly: "Look for the ships along the way, don't care about this city, go directly to Tonglu County."

Therefore, the overwhelming main fleet did not stay in Yanzhou Fucheng, but went down the river to Tonglu, taking all the ships along the river with them when they left.

Looking at the clean surface of the river, Xiong Fenwei was dumbfounded, and muttered to himself, "Why didn't Bandit Zhao come to attack the city?"

Attack a fart city!

Yanzhou Fucheng is located at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, facing the river on three sides and mountains on one side.The officers and soldiers are still well-prepared here, stationed in a large army to defend the city, and will attack forcibly if their brains are sick.

As for the grain road...

Chen Liangbi, the magistrate of Jiande County, sighed dejectedly: "Fu Shuai, we have been cut off from food supply, and our escape route has also been cut off."

"This... this..." Xiong Fenwei was so anxious that he almost burst into tears, "This is so good!"

Yanzhou City is located between the mountains, except for the three rivers that communicate with the outside world, there is only one mountain valley that is feasible.

Now, the southern side has been occupied by Zhao Han, and the western side has vanguard troops to attack. Zhao Han went to the northeast side by himself, taking away all the ships on the river by the way.The channels of the three rivers were all blocked by Zhao Han, and the army recruited by the governor of Zhejiang was directly trapped in the isolated city of Yanzhou.

You can also walk, from the mountain valley, slowly cross the mountains and cross the river to go back to Tonglu. By then, Tonglu County has already been defeated by Zhao Han.

Of course, you can also walk west along the river to chase the [-] vanguard troops that have become part of the division.Even if they catch up, they will probably be beaten up and wiped out in Chun'an County, which has not yet formed Qiandao Lake.

In the corner of a section of the city wall.

Two military officers are discussing secretly, they are all hereditary generals of the Weisuo.From childhood to adulthood, he has only fought sporadic small groups of rebels, and he doesn't even bother to support his servants. He only has a group of bullying domestic slaves under his command.

This time Xiong Fenwei recruited troops to defend against the enemy, but due to the lack of military officers, he recruited all these people to make up the number.

Gan Qinwei knocked the shredded tobacco into the pipe, lit it and took a few puffs, then sighed and said: "This Xiong Fujun, he talks about military affairs in a clear way, so he is just talking about military affairs on paper."

"Give me a puff," Chou Shan took a puff, and said, "We are doomed. No matter where we go, we will be waited for by the Zhao thief, and maybe we will be ambushed halfway. If we defend Yanzhou city , the Zhao bandits will go straight to Hangzhou, and when they hear that their hometown has been captured and the fields are still being divided, the whole army will be defeated without fighting."

"Fuck off the governor," Gan Qinwei said through gritted teeth, "Let him garrison troops to defend Hangzhou. He insisted on bringing out the army, saying that he was guarding strategically important areas. Fortunately, Zhao thief swaggered past and didn't meet many people all the way to Hangzhou." A soldier. Maybe it only takes half a month, and the city of Hangzhou will be taken by him."

Qiu Shan lowered his voice: "Now we have only one way to link up with the military generals, join hands to kill the governor, and dedicate Yanzhou City to the thief Zhao. With this credit, maybe we can save our wealth and lives, after all, we bullied the military households so much It's miserable, Zhao thief is helping the military household to speak."

Gan Qinwei said: "Then contact each other separately, and don't let the news out."

……

Zhao Han's main force arrived in Tonglu County in a blink of an eye.

As soon as he landed and put on a posture, the magistrate of Tonglu County surrendered directly, because he had only a few hundred Xiangyong under his command.

Zhao Han sent out a partial division to attack Xincheng, Fenshui, Yuqian, and Changhua along the river, and led his main force along the Fuchun River to attack Hangzhou.

This is the fourth time he has divided his troops, and he doesn't pay attention to the Zhejiang army at all.

The main force of Zhejiang officers and soldiers is all in Yanzhou City.Without a ship, it is difficult to travel by land, and I put myself in a dead end.

Zhao Han thought it was funny when he thought about it, the governor Xiong Fenwei was simply insane.

Before he dispatched troops, he never dreamed that the enemy coach could make such a showy operation.This is like playing LOL, the five enemies are all squatting in the dragon pit to ambush.Our army did not go to fight the dragon, but only sent one person to block the pit, and the rest gathered and rushed straight to the high ground.And the five idiots on the opposite side were stuck in the big dragon pit and couldn't get out.

When Zhao Han's army arrived in Hangzhou, the officers, soldiers and commanders were still arguing about where to go.

Shi Wancheng, the prefect of Hangzhou, sat on a tall and sturdy city tower, watched the enemy fleet approaching the river, and couldn't help sighing: "Are you waiting to surrender?"

"Don't dare." All the officials answered quickly.

Shi Wancheng smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, Zhao Bandit is not a person who kills indiscriminately. My hometown Xiangtan was occupied last year. The tribe wrote to say that Zhao Bandit only divided the land and didn't take any of the family's floating wealth. Even if they borrowed food, they would issue an IOU. "

All the officials were dumbfounded.

"Surrender if you want, I will take you to surrender together." Shi Wancheng smiled sadly.

All the officials immediately said: "I would like to follow the Fu Zun."

Shi Wancheng sighed and said, "Oh, I can't control the tyranny of the Hangzhou Mansion. The villain still needs to be tortured by the villain, so let Bandit Zhao come and punish him severely!"

This magistrate is a gentleman.

When he was the magistrate of Huizhou, because of the timber produced in Huangshan, the eunuch party taxed 3 taels of timber every year.Shi Wancheng took the magistrate of She County to visit and investigate in person, and found that the annual tax of 3 taels would make the timber merchants lose their money.

At that time, the eunuch party was powerful, Shi Wancheng didn't dare to provoke him, and he didn't want to be a minion for the tiger, so he simply hung up his seal and resigned from office and returned to his hometown, but was dismissed by the eunuch party.

This old man has a lot of deeds, and even the magistrate doesn't accept money as a rule.

The former governor of Haining, Wu Zhongyan, ordered to investigate because of his many evil deeds.As a result, the governor was dismissed instead.

The people were so angry that they surrounded Wu's house, they were convicted of rebellion by the procuratorate, and a bunch of people were arrested and imprisoned.

When Shi Wancheng took office in Hangzhou, he immediately arrested Wu Zhongyan and refused the Wu family's bribe of two taels of silver.The lawsuit went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was asked to try it again, and the Wu family also had people in the central government.He resisted the pressure from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and cut Wu Zhongyan off.

Now, there are pirates on the sea, they often go ashore to plunder, and the military equipment is swallowed up by the soldiers. The Zhejiang Navy is already rotten.

On land, Zhao Han came to kill again, and the governor took all the troops away, and even emptied the Hangzhou government treasury.

There are also tyrants who do many evils, colluding with the procuratorate to fight against the magistrate, Shi Wancheng has long been disheartened in the face of a lot of bad things.

Then surrender, anyway, the hometown has been occupied, and the clansmen have already been thieves.

Shi Wancheng ordered the door to be opened to offer the city, this move made Zhao Han dumbfounded.From Quzhou to Hangzhou, directly killed Zhejiang lazy, and did not fight a single battle. Only a few wounded in the army were sick with colds.

"Zhu Zi'an dares to follow the thief!"

On another section of the city wall, Li Quantai, the Zuo Buzheng of Zhejiang Province, was furious when he found out that the rebels had entered the city.

Li Quantai said to the officials and Xiangyong around him: "My sons, follow me to kill the thieves and drive the rebels out of Hangzhou City!"

"Kill!"

Li Quantai personally raised his saber and charged with his soldiers, preparing to fight the rebels in the streets.

As he rushed, he found that there was no one around him.

"Come back, come back and kill the thieves!" Li Quantai turned around and shouted, suddenly felt sad, sat down on the ground and wept.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Wancheng, who surrendered the city, accompanied Zhao Han to this place.

Shi Wancheng pointed to Li Quantai and said, "General Town, this is Li Zhuowu's nephew."

Li Zhi's nephew?

From what he looked like, he was actually a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Han ordered: "Don't worry about him, just let him go if you want to go."

Zhao Han left with his troops, Li Quantai slowly got up, staggered towards the outside of the city, and went back to his hometown to live in seclusion.

Zheng Sen followed behind Zhao Han, looked at the bustling streets of Hangzhou, and said in disbelief, "Such a magnificent city, why did you take it like this?"

Zhang Jiayu said with a smile: "There are not many soldiers in Hangzhou. The main force of the officers and soldiers in Zhejiang were all taken by the governor to defend Yanzhou. I don't know where they have returned to at this time."
