    ,

    Outside Nanchang City, the officers and soldiers barracks.

    The local officers and soldiers in Jiangxi have fled back home one after another, and now there are more than 300 people left.  The ones who didn't escape were all guard soldiers who had nothing to worry about, and they were also enslaved by the chief when they fled back.

    In addition, there are more than 1,600 Guizhou Tengjia soldiers!

    The number of pacesetters for the governor of Guizhou is actually only 1,000 people. This quota was set in the 43rd year of Jiajing.

    However, since the governor can have pacesetters, there have been various excesses due to actual conditions.  For example, Weng Wanda fought against Mongolia. At one time, there were tens of thousands of soldiers. They trained first and then asked the court for instructions. Some governors simply didn't bother to ask for instructions.

    Zhu Xieyuan trained 2,000 pacesetters in Guizhou, which was a full 1,000 more than the quota. As long as he could win the battle, the court didn't bother to take care of it.

    These Guizhou Tengjia soldiers were left in Nanchang by Zhu Xieyuan, mainly to defend Nanchang Fucheng.

    However, after Xiong Wencan inspected Jiangxi, due to insufficient money and food, the treatment of Guizhou soldiers plummeted.  At this time, at least they could be fed. As soon as Xiong Wencan left, the Guizhou soldiers simply had a full meal and a hungry meal.

    If this continues, at most two or three months, more than a thousand Guizhou soldiers will definitely mutiny, or risk running outside the city to plunder.

    "Stopstop"

    The officers and soldiers guarding the barracks became weaker and weaker, retreating as they spoke.

    Huang Yao smiled and said: "The guard is dividing the fields, I will let you go home. From now on, there will be no military households, you can all be farmers, and no military officer will dare to bully you. After returning home, everyone will be able to share the fields."

    The officers and soldiers guarding the battalion were stunned, then knelt down and cried: "Bodhisattva bless the general with a long life!"

    Huang Yao said with a smile: "Go back to the camp and tell your comrades, let them come and get a bucket of rice, this is your severance pay."

    Several officers and soldiers in charge of the battalion ran immediately, shouting as they ran: "Everyone has come out to collect the rice. Once you have received the rice, you will go home and divide the fields!"

    Facing the collar rice and the land distribution, these officers and soldiers had no resistance, and instantly turned into Mr. Zhao's supporters.

    Not to mention that they are in the military camp outside the city, not to mention that their number is only more than 300, even if more than 3,000 people are standing on the tower at this moment, they will open the city gate and join the rebels enthusiastically.

    The surrounding areas of Nanchang Mansion are under control, and the Jiangxi government cannot collect taxes. Naturally, these soldiers will be hungry.

    More than 300 guard soldiers, each received a bag of rice, kowtowed to Huang Yao, and went home happily.

    Huang Yao continued to walk in, and Fei Chun followed behind with someone pushing the cart.

    More than 1,600 Guizhou soldiers had already put on rattan armor and formed a formation with weapons when they were receiving rice from the guards.

    These Guizhou soldiers used to be slaves of the chieftain, and it was Zhu Xieyuan who rescued them.  They don't recognize the imperial court and only obey Zhu Xieyuan's orders.

    They also didn't trust the Jiangxi rebels, thinking that Huang Yao was coming to kill them all.  I don't know the place of life well, this is Jiangxi, and there are more than 1,600 Guizhou soldiers, no one escaped, and they all formed formations to fight to the death.

    Looking at the Guizhou soldiers who were obviously starved and emaciated, but still daring to fight for their lives, Huang Yao's mood was extremely complicated.

    He fought bloody battles in Lion Mountain for several days, and the biggest casualty he suffered was caused by the surprise attack by these Guizhou soldiers.  He both hated and admired each other, and his emotions were very entangled.

    Fei Chun pointed to the small cart behind him and said, "Take the food to light the fire and cook. We will fill our stomachs first. Each person will receive five hundred copper coins, and those who are willing to continue serving as soldiers will come to receive them. From now on, you will be Mr. Zhao's soldiers."

    The Guizhou soldiers looked at each other and began to relax their vigilance.

    Huang Yao shouted: "The leader stands up!"

    A Guizhou soldier stepped forward.

    "What's your name?" Huang Yao asked.

    The man replied in Guizhou Mandarin: "It used to be called Chihei, but Master Zhu gave him the name Chihuchen."

    Chihei means "dog meat".

    The slaves plundered or bought by Yi chieftains are collectively called Chihei.  Gradually, Chihei even became a surname, and many descendants of slaves were named Chihei.

    The Chi Huchen in front of him didn't even know which race he belonged to.  They may be Han, Miao, Yi, or Zhong. Anyway, they were captured by chieftains when they were very young, and then recruited by Zhu Xieyuan as soldiers.

    "Zhu Xieyuan has died of illness. Would you like to work for Mr. Zhao in the future?" Huang Yao said, "As long as you are obedient, you will have sufficient rations and military pay on time. If you want to settle down, you will be given the land. If you have the ability, you can do it yourself  Go up and ask for a wife."

    Chi Huchen ran back to discuss with the officers and quickly made a decision.

    In fact, they had no other choice. Once Zhu Xieyuan died, he would be a child without father and mother.

    "Willing to give Zhao?, Is it my brother's son-in-law?  "

    Fei Yinghuan nodded and said: "This winter, my son-in-law will occupy the entire territory of Jiangxi, and next year will send troops to southern Hunan and Guangdong. I can't hide my identity, so I just left with a seal and came to meet an official before leaving Fujian."

    ?Zheng Zhilong's mind was turning back and forth a thousand times. If the Jiangxi bandit Zhao really occupied Guangdong and southern Hunan, wouldn't he be sitting on two and a half provinces?

    Fei Yinghuan added: "After my son-in-law captured Guangdong and southern Hunan, he will send troops to take Fujian."

    Zheng Zhilong's expression became serious. The Guangdong sea area is his territory, and the Fujian sea area is his core.  If the Jiangxi thief Zhao can really occupy Fujian and Guangdong, he will have to deal with them frequently in the future.

    "What can I teach you, brother?" Zheng Zhilong asked.

    Fei Yinghuan handed over a letter: "This is a personal letter from my son-in-law to an official."

    Zheng Zhilong is also literate. When he saw the first sentence, he couldn't help laughing.  He and Fei Yinghuan called him brother and brother, while Zhao Han called him "brother" in the letter, so I don't know what to say about this seniority.

    In his letter, Zhao Han said that the ocean is very important. After he took over the world, he planned to drive away the red barbarians in Luzon and Malacca (Malacca).  We have to go to Tianzhu. Zheng Zhilong can be the commander of the navy, and he can also be a prince at sea.

    Zhao Han directly asked Zheng Zhilong, Dinghaigong, Zhenhaigong, Jinghaigong, Kaihaigong Which of these titles does your brother prefer?

    This question made Zheng Zhilong's heart beat wildly, and his blood boiled suddenly.

    Although Zheng Zhilong was recruited by the imperial court to dominate the South China Sea, his official position was only "Guerrilla Defense".

    ?That night, Zheng Zhilong tossed and turned, got up in the middle of the night and wrote a letter, which Fei Yinghuan handed over to Zhao Han the next day.
