Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In terms of the area of ??the city, Ganzhou City is only half the size of Nanchang City.

    As for the city wall, the foundation stone of Ganzhou City was poured with molten iron to prevent it from being destroyed by flooding of the river.  There is a drainage system in the Northern Song Dynasty in the city, and it is not afraid of floods that are rare in a century.

    Surrounded by rivers on three sides and a moat on one side.

    Most of the cities in Jiangxi are of this kind.  Facing the river on both sides and facing the river on three sides, all kinds of structures are all masonry structures, which can be called a nightmare for besiegers.

    Zou Weilian sat on the platform of eight mirrors, where Su Dongpo wrote eight poems, but now he has no taste for poetry.

    More than 600 fire attack boats have been prepared long ago, just waiting for the enemy's navy to throw themselves into the trap.

    The place where the three rivers meet is the city of Ganzhou. The river to the north of this place is more than a mile wide.  Unless the rebels are stupid and learn from Cao Cao's iron rope horizontal boat, it will be difficult for more than 600 fire attack boats to be effective.

    Only after passing the confluence of the three rivers, no matter whether you enter Gongshui or Zhangshui, the river will be much narrower, and then it will be conducive to fire attack.

    However, Ancient Sword Mountain will not pass!

    Because of the navy of Gujianshan, there are only two missions this time.  One is to transport people and food, and the other is to stop any ships from going north. It is enough to cruise in the north. Why take the risk of sailing into Zhangshui or Gongshui?

    "Fu Shuai, there are scholars crossing the river from Gongshui."

    "Bring him here."

    Not long after, a scholar was brought to the eight mirror stage, and he couldn't wait to meet him: "Master, please send troops quickly, if it is too late, it will be too late!"

    The place where Zou Weilian stands is the best place to see the scenery. You can look down on the river and even faintly see the camp of rebels on the opposite bank.  He frowned and asked, "But what happened to the rebel?"

    The scholar said: "The rebels are inciting the common people to form peasant associations to force the landlords to reduce rent and interest rates. The peasant associations refuse to accept any loans with an interest rate of more than three percent and force the landlords to hand over the leases.  They also have to remove barrel noodles and waste winter animals, it's simply lawless!"

    Bucket noodles, similar to the fire consumption of the government.

    ? If the tenant pays rent to the landlord for one stone, one bucket will be taken for the loss of the surface of the barrel, and the actual rent is one stone for one bucket.  And it still uses a special big bucket to collect rent!

    Anyway, the landlord has countless ways to squeeze out the grain in the hands of the tenants, and then force the tenants to borrow usury.

    Day after day, year after year, almost every family owed debts, and the tenants were essentially reduced to serfs.

    Hearing what the scholar said, Zou Weilian instantly felt over.

    Although he tried his best to restrain the soldiers and did not go to the surrounding villages and towns to plunder, he seemed to have treated the people very well.  But compared with the rebels who formed farmers' associations, reduced rent and interest, removed barrel noodles, and abolished winter animals, Zou Weilian's good governance is nothing!

    What's more, the Fujian soldiers are already disobedient, and have sneaked out to rob twice this month.

    ?Let the rebels do this, it is estimated that it will only take a month or two, and the surrounding countryside will be completely occupied by the rebels. He led his troops out of the city as if entering an enemy-occupied area.

    Zou Weilian asked: "Are you going to let the rebels form a peasant association?"

    The scholar complained: "The rebels have a team of 50 soldiers, escorting those officials (the backbone of the peasant association), and they can confuse the common people with a few words. If the landlord resists, he will be searched for public trial. There was a landlord in the same village of Wansheng.  The clansmen and slaves suppressed the peasant association, and were immediately defeated by those bandits, and the house was ransacked that afternoon! And"

    "And what?" Zou Weilian asked.

    The scholar said in horror: "Moreover, the rebels also trained farmers and soldiers in the villages and towns where the Wannong Association was formed. They used Qi Wuyi's mandarin duck formation, using bamboo, sickles, kitchen knives, and pot lids as weapons. One day the rebels left  , these unruly people can also win against the landlords, only the officers and soldiers can come forward to crusade."

    Zou Weilian was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it, and there was no old example in the history books.

    This is sowing the seeds of rebellion. Even if the bandits are beaten back now, as long as the officers and soldiers leave Ganzhou, I am afraid that the local farmers will spontaneously revolt.

    Could it be possible to kill all the little people?

    Zou Weilian stood on the stage of eight mirrors, looking at the camp of rebels on the other side, feeling so depressed that he couldn't tell anyone.

    He turned around and looked back at Yugu Terrace on Helan Mountain, and murmured Xin Qiji's words: "Under Yugu Terrace, there are so many people crying in the clear river waterWho is this pedestrian?"

    If Zhao Han was present, he would definitely say: "Of course it is the people who are suffering."

    A few days later, all the officers and men in the city knew what the rebels had done.

    Chen Ting, general soldier of Fujian Province and champion of martial arts, came to see him: "Fu Shuai, you are afraid of the Zhao bandits, but I am not. Let me cross the river and kill all the traitors!"

    "Don't be arrogant," Zou Weilian reassured, "Master Zhu has already given a warning, and after receiving his military orderThe light aimed at the other side of the river.

    There is always a chance to attack on the river bank that is more than ten miles long.

    Moreover, the anti-thief navy did not dare to sail past the confluence of the three rivers, and the upper reaches of the river were all the territory of the officers and soldiers.

    Chen Tingdui set up an ambush upstream, as long as the anti-thief sailors from Gujianshan dared to come to the Gongshui River to cruise, hundreds of fireboats would be dispatched immediately.  And the sailors of the officers and soldiers can also block the back of the rebels from Zhangshui, so that the rebel sailors can't escape even if they want to!

    Only 3,000 people were left to guard the city, Chen Tingdui went upstream to smuggle 5,000 people first, and the rest of the troops swaggered across the river from the front.

    He just wants to lure the rebels, no matter the navy or the army, they all have to fall into his trap.

    At night, 5,000 smugglers crossed the river one after another.  Due to the large battle, they were discovered halfway through the crossing, because there were sentinels sent by the peasant association along the river.

    It doesn't matter to the officers and soldiers, the place of smuggling is far away from the camp of the rebels, and the main force of the rebels will be unable to stop them for a while.

    As for the anti-thief sailors, if you dare to make trouble, don't even think about going back. More than 600 fire attack ships are waiting.

    The peasant association here began to remind the people to move by beating gongs and drums.

    It's a pity that the farmers' association has just been established, and its appeal is insufficient. Many farmers are disobedient and hide at home and refuse to come out.

    After 5,000 officers and soldiers successfully crossed the river, they immediately plundered villages and towns with torches.  They looked down on the poor and poor people, just killed a few when they passed by, and then went straight to the mansions of those big families.

    Guest soldiers from other provinces are more ruthless than rebels!

    How ruthless it is, you can refer to Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang.  Not to mention stealing money, but also engaged in massacres, the killings were too extreme, and even foreigners couldn't stand it.

    If Chen Tingdui wants to gain a firm foothold in Jiangxi, he must let every Fujian soldier under his command earn money to be a landlord at home!  </div&gt
