    Outside the city, the barracks.

    Liu Fang, the government affairs secretary, walked into the commander's tent and handed a letter to Zhao Han: "General town, urgent report from Fucheng."

    Zhao Han opened the letter, read it and put it down, frowning thoughtfully.

    Everyone didn't dare to speak out, thinking that something big happened in Fucheng.

    Zhao Han thought for a while, and seeing the serious atmosphere in the account, he smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

    Xiao Huan couldn't help asking: "But is there a riot in Fucheng?"

    "It's not that people are in chaos," Zhao Han sighed. "It's that many homeless people are farmers who lost their land and went to the city. They heard that they can divide their fields, and now they are clamoring to go back to the countryside. Once these people leave, the city will be destroyed."  If it is paralyzed, the pier may not even find a coolie."

    Xiao Huan suddenly smiled and said: "Congratulations to the town, congratulations to the town!"

    "Speak if you have something to say, fart if you have something to say, and you don't have to f*ck around me." Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and cursing.

    Xiao Huan quickly said: "The vagrants in the city are eager to return to their hometowns. Don't they all want the general town, thinking that the general town can win the country? This is what the people want!"

    "Congratulations to the town, congratulations to the town!" Civil and military officials shouted one after another.

    Zhao Han was not in the mood to accept their flattery, because he said: "Cities around the world rely on homeless people to operate. Many homeless people have been living in cities for generations. Although they have no household registration, some are hawkers, some are coolies, some are  The city cannot do without them. These people are clamoring to go back to the countryside to divide the land, and it is not good to agree, and it is not good to not agree. This is a big problem."

    Xiao Huan also became serious, and thought carefully: "It's better to issue two types of household registration, one for urban household registration and the other for rural household registration. Only rural household registration can divide the land."

    Zhao Han shook his head and said: "One person's wisdom is short, and everyone's strengths are considered. This matter needs to be brainstormed, and we will discuss it in detail in a future meeting. Today, let's discuss how to attack the city."

    Huang Yao said: "Jishui County is so big, how can more than a thousand townsmen be able to defend it? First pretend to attack a few places by force, and then send people to attack other places and beat them down!"

    "That would definitely cause a lot of casualties." Zhao Han said.

    "How can anyone survive in a war?" Huang Yao muttered.

    Zhao Han smiled. He was not afraid of death, but he felt it was worthless to die in a siege.

    Jishui County is even more difficult to attack than Ji'an Prefecture.

    The Ganjiang River is to the west and the Enjiang River is to the south. The terrain outside the city is very narrow.  Fortunately, the defenders did not have bows and arrows, otherwise they would not be able to display their troops at all. In that case, they would have to land and attack from a ship.

    The east side is still close to Taiping Mountain. If there are three thousand regular troops in the city, two thousand will be used to defend the city, and one thousand will form a stronghold at the foot of the mountain.  .

    During the Zhengde period, a city was built here, and the earth wall became a masonry wall.

    In the second year of Tianqi, urns were built outside the city gates, making it impossible to invade from the city gates.

    Really, even if there were 500 regular troops in the city, Zhao Han would not dare to show off his might.  The city wall here is 5.5 meters higher than the city wall of Fucheng. No wonder the gentry fled here!

    It's just a county seat, so it's necessary to build it so luxuriously?

    "Ican the villain talk?" Zhong Xingpu, who was so frightened that he peed his pants, couldn't hold back his desire to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

    "Let's talk," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Bringing you to discuss the matter is to let you tell more about the situation in the city."

    Zhong Xingpu shrank his head and said: "In fact, there is no need to attack by force, just build siege equipment every day. If you spread the Tianzheng of the rebel army, at most ten days and a half months, someone will open the door to offer the city."

    "Why is that so?" Xiao Huan asked.

    Zhong Xingpu explained in detail: "There are twenty-eight gentry families who have fled into the city. Each family has at least seven or eight people, and as many as twenty or thirty people, with maids and servants, and money and food accumulated by several generations.  Wealth. There are more than a thousand townspeople, most of these townspeople are from good families, and the whole family has fled to the city, and they don't know how the rebel army is doing. "

    "People are not in harmony?" Xiao Huan asked.

    "It's not just that the hearts of the people are not in harmony," Zhong Xingpu said. "Tens of thousands of people with their families and children poured in at once. These days, there are constant disputes every day. We only need to surround the city. The gentry and the rich have enough food, but the city  The small and medium-sized people are suffering, and the grain merchants will definitely take the opportunity to raise prices. There are also vegetables and meat, which cannot be transported in."

    Zhao Han has already understood.

    The enemy in the city is the reactionary forces headed by twenty-eight gentry families and supplemented by more than a thousand good families.  Not only did they come by themselves, but they also brought their families with them, and they were even accompanied by servants. The total population of all kinds was tens of thousands.

    The gentry can't live a hard life, and the good families follow suit. Tens of thousands of people really can't be settled, so they simply doveMost of them were originally deceived," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Except for those big landlords, how could I have treated a good family badly?  "

    East of the city.

    Li Musheng said in a low voice: "Brother, do it. If you don't do it, these brave men will rebel."

    "Wait a little longer," Li Chun'an said, "when the rebels start attacking the city, we will turn our backs, and we will surely seize the door and sacrifice the city with ease."

    Li Musheng said: "Looking at this, the rebels haven't planned to attack the city yet, and they probably will shout at the city for several days. I'm afraid that if they shout and shout, Xiangyong will sacrifice the city spontaneously, and we will lose the merit of dedicating the city by then."  .¡±

    "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer." Li Chun'an felt that it was too dangerous, and was afraid that half of Xiancheng would be killed by the gentry.

    "Kill!"

    Suddenly there was a shout of killing from the north of the city.

    Li Musheng was shocked: "Brother, I'm afraid the Liu family has dedicated the city, we are already one step too late!"

    "These bastards surnamed Liu were still gnashing their teeth at the rebels yesterday." Li Chunan was furious.

    "Don't talk so much, it's important to dedicate the city to grab credit." Li Musheng said anxiously.

    While they were talking, a section of the city wall near them, the gentry of the Zou family suddenly shouted: "My sons and daughters, the court is not benevolent and unrighteous, and they all follow me!"

    The Zou family is also a big family. There is an ancestor named Zou Shouyi, Wang Yangming's favorite disciple, the Jishui Zou family moved from Anfu County.

    Li Musheng became even more anxious, and suddenly raised his sword and shouted: "My uncle is a rebelhe is Mr. Zhao's high-ranking official. Come and kill the official and rebel with me, and you will definitely be able to seal your wife and son in the future!"

    In a blink of an eye, three of the twenty-eight gentry families defected, all of whom were not stained with the blood of the peasants that night.

    These guys are not sincerely following the thief, but out of the consideration of continuing the family.  At this moment, the morale of the army is floating, how can they defend the city?  Then simply do it in advance and save your own people.

    The mere three gentry families, in terms of quantity, naturally cannot beat the remaining twenty-five families.

    However, more than a thousand recruits were temporarily recruited in the city, and they turned against each other under the leadership of a few gangsters and the head of the workshop.

    The soldiers who turned against the city have surpassed the soldiers who defended the city!

    Zhong Xingpu rushed out of the city in a hurry, snatched the cardboard trumpet from the missionary officer, and shouted loudly: "Father, brother, I am Xingpu. I have already surrendered. Hurry up anyway, don't let the Zhong family have  The catastrophe of extermination!"

    Zhao Han looked at the messy city wall and said with a smile, "Siege." </div&gt
