Chapter 230 0227 [Send troops to Zichuan! 】

"Uncle, this is the outline of the essay."

Liu Qi said, took out a piece of paper and handed it over.

Seeing this, Xie Ding felt dumbfounded.

Han Zhen has even prepared an outline, and he will comply if he gets it right.

After taking the outline, Xie Ding glanced at it quickly, with an expression that was indeed true.

The so-called crusade is nothing more than the fact that the officials of Zhao and Song Dynasty were ignorant and unethical, and imposed excessive taxes and expropriations, so that the people were in dire straits... and so on.

There is nothing fancy about the opening chapter. Looking through the slogans of past dynasties and generations, it is basically the same routine.

The point is, what are you going to do next?
That's the top priority.

In short, if everyone follows you in rebellion, what benefits will they gain?
Although it is very realistic, the essence is like this. It is useless for anyone to rebel against you.

Oh, I was a cow and a horse in Zhao Song, and I was still a cow and horse in Hanzhen, so didn’t my motherfucker rebel in vain?

For example, when King Xiaobo of Sichuan rebelled, the slogan he shouted was: I am sick and the rich and poor are unequal, but now it is for you to balance it out.

The core selling point is just three words, both rich and poor!

I, Wang Xiaobo, want to lead the poor farmers in Shu to live a good life!

As soon as this slogan came out, it immediately won the support and response of the people in Sichuan. Most of the prefectures and counties it went to were defeated without fighting.

Without spending a single soldier, the people in the city spontaneously killed officials and officials, and opened the city gates to welcome Wang Xiaobo into the city.

This is the effect of the slogan!
At the same time, you need to clearly understand what kind of basic class you are fighting for.

Don't try to bring all classes into a united front. This is impossible. He, Han Zhen, is not gold, silver, and copper, and he cannot be loved by everyone.

When you strive for the interests of one group, you will inevitably offend another group.

Therefore, we must know how to choose.

Han Zhen's basic base is a subordinate official!

Supporting subordinate staff, improving their treatment, and opening up pathways for their promotion will inevitably offend the scholar-bureaucrat class and the vast majority of scholars.

Therefore, the outline given by Han Zhen was mainly aimed at the core of propaganda for subordinate officials.

As for the poor people, they also fought for it, such as easing corvees and reducing taxes, abolishing exorbitant taxes and so on.

After all, the interests of the poor people and subordinate officials do not conflict, and they can fight for it together.

Of course, what Han Zhen gave was only an outline, and it needed someone with outstanding literary talent to express it in thought-provoking and resonant words.

In terms of literary talent alone, Zhao Ting, Liu Mi and even Chang Yukun are not bad.

You can think about it with your toes. If you can stand out from 30 to [-] people and get the top grade of Jinshi in high school, will your literary talent be poor?

There are two reasons why we insisted on letting Xie Ding write the book.

One is to force Xie Ding to take sides.

The second is to use the Xie family's reputation in the world to appease the scholars.

Although there is a conflict of interest, one cannot offend one party too much.

I, Han Zhen, am not targeting scholars. You see, the Xie family has spoken for me.

Putting away the outline, Xie Ding muttered: "I need to consider it carefully and hand it over to you on a civilized day."

Since it is written by him, it must strive for excellence. It must not only be thought-provoking, but also draw lessons from classics to establish a foothold for the core appeal.

Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that scholars all over the world would underestimate his Fuyang Xie family?
Liu Mi waved his hand: "It's okay, uncle, you write first, and I'll go to Boxing first."

"Take a break and don't work so hard."

Looking at his nephew's weather-stained cheeks, Xie Ding couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Liu Qi boasted: "It doesn't matter, now I have practiced the Taoist secret method, and my body is as strong as an ox and as fierce as a tiger."

He didn't want to waste a moment now, he just wanted to capture Boxing quickly so that he could join the county magistrate.

Seeing that he couldn't resist him, Xie Ding had no choice but to tell him, "Then just go ahead."

Liu Qi nodded, cupped his hands and said, "My nephew is gone. The county officials and the people still need to be comforted by my uncle."

Xie Ding glared at him fiercely and scolded: "I have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten. Do you need you to teach me how to do things?"

"hey-hey!"

Liu Qi shrank his neck and sneered: "Uncle, I'm leaving."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Just as he was about to step through the gate, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Uncle, where is Zhuo Benna?"

Xie Ding's heart trembled, and he hurriedly advised: "Although Zhuo is pedantic, he is not a treacherous person. Don't hurt his life."

However, Liu Qi shook his head and said seriously: "Uncle, this person is extremely pedantic, and there is no telling what trouble he will make if he is left alone. Now is a critical moment, and we cannot be soft-hearted!"

Hearing the chill in Liu Qi's tone, Xie Ding couldn't help but sigh slightly.

My nephew has really grown up.

Xie Ding waved his hand: "Zhuo Ben is hiding in the backyard."

Liu Qi winked at the team leader behind him, who immediately understood and led several cavalrymen towards the backyard.

Not long after, the team came back with a bullet in their hands: "Report to the battalion commander, Chief Zhuo Ben has been executed!"

"go!"

Liu Qi waved his hand and walked out of the county office first.

Outside the county government office, Chen Dutou and others who were kneeling on the ground heard footsteps and turned to look.

When he saw the head in the captain's hand, he was horrified.

When he looked at Liu Qi again, his eyes were filled with fear.

When he came to Chen Dutou, Liu Qi paused and said condescendingly: "Chen Dutou, let's have a private relationship, don't blame me for not reminding you, don't do anything stupid. Otherwise, even if I have the intention, I won't be able to keep you waiting!" "

"Thank you, Xiaoyanei, for reminding me."

Chen Dou swallowed his saliva, cupped his hands and thanked him.

"Go find my uncle, I have an errand for you."

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he got on his horse.

Captain glanced at Chen Dutou, threw Zhuo Ben's head into his arms, and smiled: "I reward you!"

After holding the head in his arms and watching Liu Qi and others leave, Chen Dutou looked at a loss.

He still doesn't know what happened.

At this time, a government servant behind him trembled and asked: "Du...dutou, what should we do now?"

"I don't know either!"

Chen Dutou replied angrily, then stood up and walked into the county government office holding the head in his arms.

When the government officials saw this, they also stood up and followed him.

At this moment, the county government hall was crowded with six subordinate officials, all of whom looked at Xie Ding with fearful eyes.

After Chen Dutou came in, Xie Ding pressed down his hands.

The subordinates shut their mouths one after another, and the noisy hall immediately became quiet.

Looking around at the crowd, Xie Ding slowly said: "I have voted for Han Zhen and am no longer an official of Zhao Song!"

Whoa!
There was an uproar in the lobby.

Xie Ding has been in office for more than a year, and his character and temperament are already known to subordinate officials like them.

With conscience in mind, I can praise a good official without any burden.

But the magistrate, who had such an upright temperament and an honest official, suddenly told them that he had become a traitor.

This shocked them greatly.

Xie Ding pressed his hands again, faced the worried eyes of the subordinates, and said comfortingly: "You don't need to worry, County Magistrate Han is different from ordinary rebels, and will not kill subordinates indiscriminately. On the contrary, he attaches great importance to subordinates , the subordinate officials in Linzi and Yidu not only have their monthly salary increased several times, but if they perform well, they can participate in the lock-up examination and serve as officials for one term!"

An uproar broke out in the lobby again, and the subordinate staff gathered together in twos and threes, talking and whispering in low voices.

This news is simply more shocking than the case of Xie Zhixian surrendering to thieves.

Can a subordinate staff become an official?
In addition to being surprised, these subordinate officials felt their heartbeats speeding up and their breathing a little short.

After a while, the discussion gradually subsided, and the supervisor took a step forward, half believing and doubting: "Xie Zhixian, is... is this really the case?"

Xie Ding laughed at himself: "Although I have surrendered to the thieves, I still have some credibility."

"The magistrate forgives me, but being humble is not what I mean."

Oshi hurriedly explained.

The fame accumulated by the Xie family in Fuyang over the past hundred years is intangible and intangible, but it is present all the time.

Thinking of this, Ashi was immediately convinced.

The subordinates behind him didn't care that there were so many, they were all ecstatic.

It was true!

Under Han Zhen, these lowly subordinates could become officials!

Seeing this, Xie Ding took the opportunity to add more firewood: "I want you to know that the current magistrates, county magistrates and chief registrars of Shouguang and Changle counties are all subordinate officials who have stood out in the lock-up examination. They Previously, I was just like you and others, all subordinates, but now I am serving as an official and benefiting the whole country."

hiss!
The subordinate staff took a deep breath and felt their blood rising.

County Magistrate Han is truly a hero!A tax collector couldn't help but ask: "Zhi... Zhixian, what should we do now?"

Now that Master Zhuo is dead, there is a real shortage of officials in Qiancheng County!

Xie Ding ordered: "For the time being, you and others will perform their duties as usual, assist me in managing the county, and appease the people. At that time, County Magistrate Han will have his own arrangements."

"Humble to take orders!"

All the subordinate officials responded with their hands raised.

Everyone's spirit is completely different from before, and they are full of energy.

Seeing this scene, Chang Zhixian couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Han Zhen is really a good trick.

"County magistrate, where am I?"

Just then, a voice sounded.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Chen Du holding a bloody head on his head in the corner of the lobby, wanting to cry but without tears.

Who would want to hold a dead man's head when he has nothing to do?

But he didn't dare to throw it away casually, so he could only bear to hold it in his arms.

Xie Ding ordered: "You lead the fast class officials and Zhuo Zhu's head to the large and wealthy merchants in the county, and invite them to come to the county government office for a talk."

"Humble and obedient!"

Chen Dutou hurriedly agreed and led the officials on the fast shift out of the county government office in a hurry.

The shock effect of Zhuo Ben's head was extremely good. In less than a quarter of an hour, the city's high-ranking families and wealthy businessmen rushed to the county government office one by one with frightened faces.

Xie Ding has been an official for more than [-] years, and he is far from the stupid young man with sophisticated methods like He Juan.

After a series of beatings, all these people were captured.

Of course, the means is on the one hand, and his identity on the other.

Fuyang Xie’s golden name is still very useful.

In this way, Qiancheng County fell into the hands of Han Zhen in an extremely smooth process.

……

The next day.

In the early morning, Wei Da, who received Han Zhen's military order, was filled with excitement.

After arranging the soldiers to organize the army, they also explained some matters about the gunpowder workshop, and then set up horses and rushed to the county town.

When he came to the county government office, he went straight to the lobby and found Changzhi County.

Wei Daben was not good at words, so he went straight to the point: "Changzhi County, this is the troop deployment order that the county magistrate asked me to forward to you. There are [-] Qingzhou Army officers and soldiers in the military camp, and a total of [-] in Xiaowang Town and Songshan Village. Xiangyong can also be called."

After receiving the order and hiding it close to his body, Chang Zhixian said seriously: "Excuse me, Dutong Wei, please tell the county magistrate that I will do my best to fulfill my mission!"

"must!"

Wei Da arched his hands.

He likes the current atmosphere very much, where military and civilized people are equal.

Unlike the Zhao and Song dynasties, warriors had a low status and bowed before civil officials, like lackeys.

"The military situation is urgent. The commander of this capital must retire first!"

"Wei Dutong, walk slowly!"

Seeing Wei Da's leaving figure, Magistrate Changzhi sighed with a complicated expression.

The battle concerning wealth and life is finally coming.

Han Er, you must win!

Compared with the anxiety in Changzhi County, all the subordinate officials in the county government were surrounded by a fanatical atmosphere, and they went about their business one by one, as if they were risking their lives.

Without him, there would be a war!

After this battle, there will be a real shortage of hundreds of officials.

Now, I want to ask who is the most belligerent under Han Zhen's rule?

Not common people, not high-ranking families, not even officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, but subordinates!

In the past two months, Han Zhen has received more than one report jointly signed by his subordinates.

Ask him to send troops to capture Qiancheng, Boxing and Linyi counties.

……

Just as Changzhi County was sighing, Xiao Wu led a thousand infantry and arrived at the foot of Linyi City.

Han Zhen, who was far away in the Yidu military camp, was now wearing dragon-patterned black light armor and ascending to the high platform of the school ground.

On the campus of Nuo University, flags were fluttering, and four thousand heavy armored cavalry, six thousand infantry, and four thousand auxiliary soldiers were fully armed and ready to go.

The uniform black armor glows with a fascinating cold light under the winter sun.

The gathering of evil spirits seemed to make the surrounding temperature even colder.

Han Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, his heart filled with pride.

Fighting with each other is worthy of being the ultimate romance for men.

After a while, Han Zhen spoke slowly and said loudly: "A hundred thousand Western troops are coming, are you afraid?"

"Hahaha!"

No one answered from below, but there was a burst of laughter.

From top to bottom, the Qingzhou Army is filled with the atmosphere that I am the best in the world.

Even the rotten Guardsmen soldiers will be infected and affected by this atmosphere unknowingly after joining.

This atmosphere was created by the dozens of veterans in Xiaowang Village who followed Han Zhen with their swords and guns.

It is the victory of more with less, the victory of hundreds of horses against thousands of enemies, accumulated bit by bit.

This atmosphere became even more intense after witnessing a deadly weapon like a firearm.

They really couldn't imagine what kind of army could stop the indiscriminate bombardment of firearms.

Western Army?

What I am fighting is the Western Army!

Han Zhen smiled slightly and said in a chatty tone: "The weather is getting colder and colder. The thatched house at home can't block the cold wind. It's time to change to a brick house. My wife, children, and children have been wearing clothes for a long time, so it's time to change into something new. I’m wearing thick cotton-padded clothes. My parents are old, so hoeing the frozen soil in spring has become more and more laborious.”

Suddenly, Han Zhen raised his voice and shouted: "Do you think we should buy a cattle for our family?"

"Should!!!"

More than [-] soldiers roared in sympathy, and the horrifying sound stung their eardrums.

With enough to eat, warm clothes and, if possible, a plow ox, that would be perfect.

This is the simplest vision of the people at the bottom!
Han Zhen shouted: "Then use the swords and guns in your hands to build a brick house, a set of warm and thick cotton clothes, and a farm cow of your own for your wives, children, your parents, and yourself." !”

"We, the Qingzhou Army, will be rewarded for their merits. The members of the army will truthfully record the merits of each of you. All you need to do is to raise the steel knife in your hand and kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!!!"

The eyes of the soldiers on the school field were blazing with fighting intent, and they roared in unison again.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "Send troops to Zichuan!"

An hour later.

Han Zhen was riding on a war horse, with a five-meter-high banner behind him.

There is a gold pattern on the black background of the Dahu, and a white Korean character written on it!

Four thousand heavily armored cavalry, lightly armed, followed closely behind.

After that, there are [-] infantry, [-] auxiliary soldiers led by Nie Dong, and a convoy transporting ordnance and baggage.

This time the army traveled lightly, because food had been continuously transported to Sunjia Town more than a month ago.

At that time, we only need to recruit them from Sunjia Town, and there is no need to recruit them from Yidu or Linzi, which are two or three hundred miles away.

As for Liu Qi and Xiao Wu, after completing the military orders, they will rush to Zichuan on their own to join the army.

The army had just left the barracks and had walked less than a mile when they saw a dark gathering of people on the official road ahead.

A quick look revealed that it was Zhao Ting and other government officials and subordinates. Mayanmin and Su Wenhuai were also among the crowd.

Han Zhen raised a hand, and the messenger immediately understood what was happening and shouted: "Stop the whole army!"

As this military order was passed down, the entire army stopped immediately.

Riding a war horse and approaching the crowd, Han Zhen looked solemn and said: "Why are we stopping the army from going out?"

Zhao Ting, who was wearing a red official robe, took a step forward, bowed and said sincerely, "We are here to bid farewell to the county magistrate and all the soldiers. I would like to wish the magistrate in advance a triumphant return!"

Zhao Ting's words came completely from the bottom of his heart, without any hint of flattery.

Now, he was completely tied to Han Zhen's chariot, and even his family members traveled thousands of miles to pick him up from Shu.

Therefore, he sincerely hopes that Han Zhen can win, and he must win.

"Congratulations to the county magistrate on his triumphant return!"

As soon as Zhao Ting finished speaking, a group of officials and subordinates behind him bowed and saluted and shouted in unison.
