Huang Zongxi couldn't help sighing: "That Governor Xiong is really... hard to describe."

"It's still the army in the town is so powerful that the officers and soldiers don't dare to fight at all, otherwise how could it be so easy?" Kuang Lu told the truth.

Chapter 304 [See Crazy Life Again]

Xiaoshan County, Chengxiang Town.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy is studying seriously.

Standing beside him is a straw man, who seems to be his book boy. On the forehead of this grass man book boy, there is a name - Zhu Xi.

"Wealth and wealth are things outside the body, and we are afraid of not getting them. Even if we let them, it will not benefit the body and mind at all..."

The young man was reading, and suddenly became very angry. He picked up a bamboo whip and beat the grass man, scolding: "Zhu Xi, you are hurting people again! How can wealth be of no benefit to the body and mind? After being rich, you can build bridges and pave roads, and you can help victims of disasters." , you can build a building to collect books, you can donate money to run a school. If everyone does not seek wealth, but all seek righteousness, who will the weaver Sangnong sell the silk to?"

The boy became more and more angry, so he simply stood up and beat the straw man crazily: "I'll beat you to death, you evil spirit, and tell you to mislead your son!"

The grass man had a note with "Zhu Xi" on his forehead, and was beaten so badly that he couldn't open his mouth to argue with the boy.

"It's not good, it's not good!"

A house slave shouted outside: "Jiangxi Zhao Tianwang has come to kill, Hangzhou is gone!"

In a panic everywhere, the mother asked the house slave to pack up, and wanted to escape to a more remote countryside.

The young man came to the courtyard with a whip and shouted: "Don't panic, I have inquired, Jiangxi soldiers will not kill randomly, nor will they rob floating wealth. You can settle down to your own business, and wait for the land to be released and the slaves will be released." yes."

My mother stopped panicking and asked the servants to put the things back where they were.

This mother has studied the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Four Books of the youth were taught by her mother.

The boy's name is Mao Qiling, a 13-year-old scholar, No. 1 in Hangzhou.

Everything is good, but it's a pity.

Because of the smelly mouth, he was killed many times later.I have been on the run all my life, either offending this or that.

Mao Qiling took the whip and walked quickly towards Xiaoshan County.

Xiaoshan County and Hangzhou Fucheng are only separated by a river.Hangzhou on the other side has been taken, and there is a lot of panic here in Xiaoshan. The county magistrate and Baoding Bo are deploying city defenses.

Mao Qiling came to the city and shouted: "I am Mao Dake, let me in!"

A soldier recognized his identity and immediately hung him up with a basket.

Mao Qiling found his uncle: "What else is uncle guarding? Hurry up and surrender the city, don't use the mantis as a cart, the Ming Dynasty has long been hopeless."

Mao Youlun was furious: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you! How can there be an earl who is a thief in Ming Dynasty?"

"Uncle is reluctant to part with the title of earl, for fear that it will cost the lives of the whole family," Mao Qiling said, "Hangzhou can't even hold it, but Xiaoshan County can hold it?"

Zhou Zuoxin, the county magistrate, came over and reprimanded him, "This fellow is bewitching the public with his gossip, he should be arrested and sent to prison!"

Mao Qiling was not afraid, and said to the county magistrate: "The county magistrate is from Guizhou. His family has moved to Nanjing. Why don't you think about it for his family? Since Zhao Zongzhen sent troops to Zhejiang, he must also attack Nanjing, and he will go to Guizhou in the future. The county magistrate The family in Nanjing, and the clansmen of the county lord in Guizhou, are all looking forward to the surrender of the county lord."

"There is no reason for this," Zhou Zuoxin said, pressing his sword. "The salary of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, as a county magistrate, how can you surrender to the thief? Your Mao family has been favored and treated, and you are trying to follow the thief!"

Mao Qiling said: "The people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least. Now that the people of Zhejiang are struggling to make ends meet, what are the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Emperor worth? You read sage books in vain... Oh, yes, this sentence has been deleted by Taizu , It is estimated that the county lord has not read it. The county lord should dismiss Xiangyong and go home and re-read "Mencius". I have the original version here, not the book that Taizu deleted."

This mouth is so fucking stinky, Zhou Zuoxin drew his sword out of anger, and wanted to hack Mao Qiling to death on the spot, regardless of Baoding Uncle Mao Youlun's face.

Mao Qiling was so frightened that he turned around and fled, but the soldiers did not dare to stop him, because he was the earl's nephew, and he was also the first child prodigy at the age of 13.

The battle of defending the city, which was originally very serious, suddenly became comical. The magistrate raised his sword and chased the prodigy on the city wall.

And that child prodigy, Mao Qiling, was still talking nonsense when he was running for his life: "The magistrate calms down, the gentleman speaks but does not move. If the magistrate refuses to admit it, he can argue with Wansheng. How can he go to war like a martial artist?"

"Kangsheng, if I don't kill you, the morale of the army is uncertain!" Zhou Zuoxin became even more angry.

Uncle Mao Youlun of Baoding sighed. He also wanted to surrender, but he was afraid that his house would be confiscated by Zhao Han. He had done a lot of bad things over the years.

At this moment, more than ten boats came across the river.

Although only a few hundred Datong soldiers landed, the Xiaoshan defenders felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Some Xiangyong were already thinking about running away.

Zhou Zuoxin, the magistrate, and Mao Youlun, the earl, quickly ordered to defend to the death, but they didn't care about chasing and killing Mao Qiling.

Mao Qiling still held the bamboo whip that beat "Zhu Xi" in his hand. Using the bamboo whip as a sword, he raised his arms and shouted: "Don't be stubborn anymore, you want to live, you want to divide the land, you want to be free!" body, gather towards me, and surrender the city with me!"

"Bastard!"

When Mao Youlun heard this, he was really moved to kill. He ordered: "Tie up this unclear thing, gag it and throw it into the prison!"

Mao Qiling yelled at the soldiers who came to arrest him: "Don't you want to live?"

The soldiers looked at each other, turned around suddenly, and became Mao Qiling's guards on the spot, trying to protect the one who took the lead in surrendering.

Many village braves also gathered towards Mao Qiling, occupying a large section of the city wall in a blink of an eye.

Mao Qiling shouted again: "Mr. Huang (Xu Ying) sent people to distribute "The Collection of Datong" everywhere. Even if you haven't read it, haven't you heard the truth? The world is Datong, everyone can live a good life!"

This time Zhao Han was able to easily kill through Zhejiang. Apart from his strong troops, there was another important reason, that was Xu Ying did a lot of propaganda work.

"Da Tong Ji" is everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and countless low-level scholars return to their hearts.

Even some upper class scholars like Mao Qiling advocated Datong theory.Every time the army arrived in a city, some scholars would persuade the officials to surrender, and the local officials would descend down the donkey and surrender.

"The world is one, dress and eat!" Mao Qiling shouted holding a bamboo whip.

"The world is one, dress and eat!"

"The world is one, dress and eat!"

The soldiers and Xiangyong around him also shouted, so more and more people chose to defect.

Not long after, poor scholars in the county also came to respond, and they gathered on the street to force the county magistrate to surrender.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Zuoxin threw his sword and sighed: "Forget it, let it be, if you want to surrender, just surrender!"

Mao Youlun couldn't stand upright, so he sat down and muttered, "I'm dead, I'm dead this time."

Mao Qiling and those scholars quickly controlled the walls of the city, and then opened the gates on all sides.

He walked up to Mao Youlun and said, "Uncle, I went to Hangzhou to ask Mr. Huang (Xu Ying). Although you have done a lot of misdeeds in the past, you are not guilty of capital crimes. As long as you cooperate honestly with the distribution of land, you can be released after mining for one year. "

Mao Youlun gritted his teeth: "You are so filial, you are so considerate for uncle!"

Mao Qiling smiled and said: "As a nephew, you have to think about your uncle. If your nephew is not in a critical moment and persuades the soldiers in the city to surrender, your uncle will definitely die, and the whole Mao family will be affected! Of course, the second cousin is dead. It's settled, he has a murder case in his hands, and if he doesn't kill him, it won't be enough for the people to be angry."

Kong Zhenyun stood outside the city, looking at the open city gate, feeling very uncomfortable.

As the master of the Southern Sect of Kong, he wanted to play his role.Unexpectedly, every time soldiers approached the city, before he had time to persuade them to surrender, the defenders in the city surrendered directly.

Can't you be tougher and vote after I persuade you to surrender?

Alas, heroes are useless, Kong Zhenyun shook his head and sighed, and returned to Hangzhou by boat dispirited.

"Dr. Kong!" An officer called Kong Zhenyun to a stop.

Kong Zhenyun asked, "What's the matter?"

The officer said: "There is an order from the general town. If you occupy Xiaoshan County, you don't have to go back to Hangzhou, and go directly to Shaoxing Mansion by boat."

Kong Zhenyun pointed to the soldiers who were entering the city: "Are these a few hundred people going to fight Shaoxing?"

The officer said with a smile: "With Dr. Kong's persuasion, it will definitely be won easily."

Not long after, officials and civilian husbands crossed the river to take over the newly occupied Xiaoshan County.Zhao Han didn't even bother to send farmers and soldiers to defend the city, and let the peasants guard the city directly. Anyway, he got a lot of ships in Zhejiang, and he didn't need too many peasants to transport food.

After handing over the city, Kong Zhenyun immediately went to Shaoxing with the army, and it was not known whether he could take it with only [-] soldiers.

Zhang Tieniu's partial division, united with Xu Du's rebel army, has occupied the entire Jinhua Mansion at this moment, and even ran to the east to lay down Zhuji.

In just 24 days, Quzhou, Jinhua, and Yanzhou were all occupied by the Datong Army.Hangzhou Prefecture and Shaoxing Prefecture occupy half of it temporarily.

One-third of Zhejiang is surnamed Zhao.

Next, Liu Zhu led a partial division to the south to attack Chuzhou and Wenzhou.Zhang Tieniu led a partial division to attack Taizhou and Ningbo.

As for Zhao Han himself, he took the army to Huzhou Prefecture.

If you take Huzhou, you can attack Nanzhili.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Fei Ruhe's Eastern Academy Army was fighting eastward all the way.Dongliu, Guichi, Tongling, Wuhu, Dangtu... Nanjing!

Due to the shortage of ships, Fei Ruhe could only march by land at the beginning, and the food and grass were all carried by civilian husbands.

The big ship in Zhao Han's army turned back at Guangxin Mansion, and now it has reached the Yangtze River, Fei Ruhe's army rations and luggage can finally go by water.

The Jiangxi Navy also allocated half to ensure the smooth flow of waterways, because there are officers and soldiers in Nanjing.

With a pair of crab claws, troops were sent out in two directions, attacking from the north and the south, and conquered the entire Jiangnan.

The reservation period is three months!

Mao Qiling took the scholars from Xiaoshan across the river to meet Zhao Han.

After hearing the reports from his subordinates, Zhao Han was very happy, and praised him: "You are really a young hero, one person can conquer a city!"

"The town's prestige spreads all over the south of the Yangtze River, and late birth is just an opportunity." Mao Qiling said modestly.

Of course Zhao Han knew who Mao Qiling was. The "Siku Quanshu" included 52 kinds of his works, which is the most personal works included in the "Siku Quanshu".

Just after being flattered, Mao Qiling's foul-mouthed problem came up again: "The government of the town is good, but it treats the landlord too much. Wansheng thinks that each person in the family of the gentry and the landlord should reserve at least [-] acres of land. Well, [-] mu of land is simply not enough to make a living. The town is like this and will lose the loyalty of many landlords."

"Take your time." Zhao Han didn't get angry, just smiled perfunctorily.

Why are you talking so much to a crazy student?

Chapter 305 [Same surname and different relocation]

Xiong Fenwei, the governor of Zhejiang, dared not return his troops towards Hangzhou because the mountain road was difficult to walk and he was afraid of being ambushed halfway.

Therefore, this military talker led his troops to chase and kill the partial division that Zhao Han sent out.

I have [-] soldiers, and if I cooperate with the Chun'an garrison, I will definitely be able to defeat the partial division of the [-] Datong Army!

When leaving Yanzhou City, Xiong Fenwei forcibly conscripted another [-] civilian husbands.

After traveling less than ten miles, the whole army was already full of complaints.These soldiers are actually village braves, they were all recruited from Hangzhou, Huzhou, and Shaoxing. Now that Zhao Han led troops to kill them in their hometown, how could the many village braves not be in a hurry?

And those [-] Yanzhou civilian husbands, most of whom are urban homeless people, are also strongly dissatisfied with Xiong Fenwei.

The whole army doesn't want to go to Chun'an County!

Xiong Fenwei didn't know about this, and seemed to have forgotten the word "military spirit".He felt that all the soldiers should be happy to avoid Zhao Han's army, so that they don't have to fight tough battles.

"Fu Shuai, the student has diarrhea and stomach pain is unbearable." Said the confidant.

Xiong Fenwei marched in a sedan chair, he let his slaves get off the sedan chair, and said: "We have marched for nearly ten miles, the whole army drinks water and rests for a while, you go and come back quickly."

The confidant and aide was a master of Shaoxing, and he pretended to have diarrhea, and ran to squat in the grass in a panic.Then, he ran away with the burden, so he didn't follow the mentally handicapped governor to die. Those generals were obviously ready to move.

Xiong Fenwei was sitting on a sedan chair, drinking water, when several generals came over.

"Fu Jun, I have a military report." Gan Qinwei said as he walked.

Xiong Fenwei didn't think too much, just said: "What's the military situation, tell me quickly."

Gan Qinwei said: "The morale of the army is not stable, we must find a way to stabilize it."

Xiong Fenwei asked: "Then tell me, how to stabilize the morale of the army?"

"Only one thing is needed, and the morale of the army can be determined." Gan Qinwei got closer and closer.

"What is it?" Xiong Fenwei still didn't realize the danger.

"The head of Fujun!"

Gan Qinwei suddenly drew his sword, and several other generals also drew their swords and slashed out together.

The dignified governor of Zhejiang was hacked to death just like that, without even having time to shout.

All the soldiers in the army wanted to go back to their hometown as soon as possible.See what's going on at home, maybe Zhao Tianwang is already dividing the land.

The main force of Zhejiang officers and soldiers killed the governor and surrendered in this way.

As for those generals, because they took the initiative to fight anyway and restrained the army, they did not plunder on the way back home.Therefore, they can all avoid death. After the land is divided, half of the family property is confiscated, and they can be released after another half a year of mining.

When Zhao Han heard the news, he couldn't laugh or cry again.

Xiong Fenwei, governor of Zhejiang Province, is the funniest local official he has ever seen since the army started.

Governor Xiong Fenwei was the first to be able to kill through Zhejiang so quickly!
