    The army of Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu was taking advantage of the whole process.

    Only the three cities of Hengyang, Leiyang, and Hengshan were difficult to conquer for a while because Liao Sheng led troops to garrison them.  But before the city was besieged, Liao Sheng led the main force to leave, intending to sneak attack and cut off Huang Yao's food supply.

    Then, Liao Sheng's entire army was wiped out, Hengyang slaves revolted, and the defenders of Leiyang and Hengshan fled.

    Zhang and Liu went to eight cities in a row, and they only fought in the surprise attack on Ling County.

    In other places, either the officers and soldiers surrendered quickly, or the bandits fled watching the wind, and it was a joy to pick up the city for nothing.

    However, the missionaries, officials and peasant associations who were with them all sighed and complained.

    Because these eight cities were all ravaged by bandits, the work of restoration and reconstruction was exhausting.  The villages and towns are withered, the land is barren, and the people have to hide in the mountains. They have to recruit refugees to divide the fields and cultivate them, and they have to immigrate from Jiangxi.

    These eight places, not only cannot bring in financial revenue this year, but Zhao Han has to pay for food to restore people's livelihood.

    The two went down the river and went straight to Chenzhou.

    As long as they take down Chenzhou and then take down Yizhang, they can enter Guangdong and go east and west with Fei Ruhe, beating Guangdong officers and soldiers regardless of their heads.

    ?In the evening, camping, Zhang Tieniu ate his dinner and said, "Old Liu, I don't know if Chenzhou is a good place to fight."

    "You have to fight a few tough battles, and you can't expect to win all the way." Liu Zhu said.

    Zhang Tieniu said: "I also want to have a good two games. Huang Yao and Li Zheng have a lot of fun."

    "Yeah, even Changsha has been taken down." Liu Zhu said with emotion. He also just received the news two days ago.

    Zhang Tieniu smacked his lips and said, "I don't know what happened to that kid Ruhe."

    Liu Zhu guessed: "It probably won't go very well. I heard that the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi has suppressed bandits in Guangdong for the past few years, then went to Guangxi to suppress bandits, and returned to Guangdong to suppress bandits last year. He fought for several years in succession.  Pigs can become powerful, let alone those officers and soldiers."

    The two chatted for a while, and after dinner, it was already dark, and Liu Zhu left his job and went to tour the camp.

    The next day, in the afternoon, Zhang Tieniu ordered the whole army to stop camping and sent spies to the city of Chenzhou to inquire about the news.

    An hour later, the spies came back with dozens of people.

    Zhang Tieniu asked suspiciously, "Are these all here to join the army?"

    The spies replied: "He came to sacrifice the city."

    "Another city for nothing?" Zhang Tieniu always felt weird.

    "Not one city," the spies muttered, "They have six cities in their hands."

    "Six cities?"

    Zhang Tieniu was speechless for a moment, and Liu Zhu was also dumbfounded.

    In this year and month, does Xiancheng have to engage in wholesale?

    I saw a man stepping forward, leading dozens of people to kneel down and shouting: "Xianghualing Liu Xinyu, leading miners, Yao people and tenant brothers, presents Chenzhou, Guiyang Prefecture, Yizhang County, Linwu County, Guidong County, Guizhou  Yang County, ask Tianwang Zhao to preside over the division of the fields!"

    Two states and four counties are indeed six cities.

    Zhang Tieniu swallowed, and asked, "Where is the thief leader Xiaobawang who fled south?"

    "Dead," Liu Xinyu replied, "More than 30,000 bandits went south and were ambushed by my troops. The entire army has been wiped out."

    Liu Zhu asked curiously, "What did brother do before?"

    "Mining." Liu Xinyu said.

    The name Liu Xinyu is really not made up, it belongs to a historical figure, and it should have made a bigger fuss.

    Between Guiyang Prefecture, Linwu County, and Lanshan County, there is a three-way zone, which was called Lequan Township in the Ming Dynasty, and Jiahe County a few hundred years later.

    In the mountains, there are big families named Li, Peng, Xiao, He, and Chen.

    Officials are not allowed to enter, so don't even think about collecting taxes.

    If any prefect or county magistrate dares to send people into the mountains to collect taxes, the bodies of the officials who went into the mountains will not be found.

    Especially the Li family, who moved to the mountains in the early Ming Dynasty, and the whole family moved here to avoid chaos, and almost annexed 90% of the fertile land in Lequan Township.

    ? These big clans in the mountains are lawless, ignoring the majesty of the court, and even more ignoring the lives of ordinary people.

    The tenants, miners, and Yao people suffered terribly.

    In the eight years of Chongzhen in history, miner Liu Xinyu raised his arms and responded to tens of thousands of rebels.  They set out from Chenzhou, attacked the city and seized territory along the way, all the way to the city of Changsha, and almost killed Hunan directly.

    After three years of trouble like this, the imperial court finally dispatched troops to conquer.

    You heard me right, the peasant army went from Chenzhou to Changsha, and it took three years before Emperor Chongzhen finally mobilized his troops to quell the chaos.

    the.

    A walled building is a bunker, and its main purpose is to guard against bandits.

    The methods and methods of peasant association work here must also be adjusted.

    There are many places, a walled building represents a Hakka family.  Both the clan land and the surrounding buildings are public-owned, and the clan members farm the family's land as tenants. The land rent is relatively low and it must be returned to the public. There is no too bad economic oppression.

    Of course, the clan is very powerful, and the patriarch holds the power of life and death.

    In addition, clansmen who have been separated for a long time cannot farm the land.  These people had a miserable life, and they wanted to be oppressed, so they could only move to Huguang and Jiangxi, and ran to the mountains to cultivate wasteland.

    Zhang Tieniu only cares about fighting, he doesn't need to think about these issues.

    When the magistrate came to the outside of Lechang City, the county magistrate got the news and hurriedly boarded the tower to check.

    ?Including the grain transporters, civilians accompanying the army, and Liu Xinyu's troops, there are as many as 18,000 people.

    The county magistrate was dumbfounded. There are less than one thousand defenders in the city. What the hell is this?

    That night, Zhixian ran away with Yin Zi.

    The next morning, Zhang Tieniu sent people to fill up the moat, and suddenly the city gates opened wide, and the chief secretary and Dian Shi led two groups of yamen servants to offer the city to surrender.

    "Damn it, it's a waste of a city. Can't we fight it with a knife and a gun?"

    Zhang Tieniu was actually a little depressed, this is the fifteenth city he picked up.
