In Weizhou (now Daming County, Handan City, Hebei Province) on the north bank of the Yellow River,

In a large-scale clashed fort, a faint blood, fireworks and burnt smell was still faintly dispersed in the air.

Driven by swords and guns, a group of dejected Ding Zhuang were digging holes, transporting corpses one by one, and then landing them one by one; during this period, the sobs of intermittent women's suppressed sobs represent their experience at this moment.

But in the burned ancestral hall, a temporary banquet with a strong battlefield flavor was set up. On the pairing table, there were more than a dozen newly opened fish pine, sauce meat, pig trotters, braised duck, roasted beans and sugar pears, canned fruits, and a jar of mud-sealed old wine, which was all on the table.

Chao Gai, Lu Junyi and Chai Jin, who were rarely gathered together again, also sat around the table, but they had changed their identities and became the banner of such as XX Rebel Army and certain umbrella groups.

In recent years, they have their own opportunities and futures. Therefore, although they still maintain this kind of close connection, as Huaizhen's territory grows larger and their respective garrisons are far apart, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities to get together in private.

For example, Chao Gai was stationed in the Xinluo vassal guarding port for a long time, Lu Junyi stayed in the suppression area of ​​the Liaodong Peninsula, while Chai Jin stayed in the local area more often, but was arranged to wait for Gaoyou in Huainan.

This time, due to the successive wars in Pinglu Road and Hebei, experienced soldiers in most of the standby second-tier and local troops were mobilized to participate in the expansion of the army, which created the probability of them appearing in the same combat area.

Their mission this time was to be the front-runner of the army and clean up the powerful people in the name of the big and wealthy people, and then lay the corresponding foundation and preparation for the subsequent household immigration and local population management affairs in the local area.

After all, after such a long and chaotic world, except for a few examples of people who are quick to hand over the need for preservation, under normal circumstances, not many people will be willing to hand over the potential population and the number of land hidden in their own names or register them in the official registration.

Huaizhen obviously does not have enough patience and time to slowly complete long-term games and gradual transformations with these local tyrants who have been rooted in the local area in the local home court they are familiar with; simply use violence in troubled times to defeat everything and overthrow it again; anyway, some of the rebels and bandits can take the blame; and Huaizhen, which restores and rebuilds local order and solves the problem of water and fire, is always pure and flawless in morality and justice.

After losing these wealthy families with potential influence and hidden connections, as the leader's appeal and potential backbone that is enough to guide public opinion trends, even if they have any opinions and dissatisfaction, they will be in a mess without a leader. The resistance and resistance to the resettlement of foreign immigrants and the establishment of local household registration will naturally be much smaller.

After all, as a group, the animal and humans are all following. In the relatively backward productivity and social transportation and communication environment in ancient times, the so-called local geniuses and gentry classes formed by large and small landlords and powerful people rely on the social resources they have mastered, and under the influence and thinking inertia formed from generation to generation, manipulate and guide public opinion under the banner of public opinion, and even raise and privately accumulate armed and collude in the name of self-protection, support bandits and others to crack down on and eliminate dissidents, and even fight against policies and changes that are not conducive to their own interests;

It can also be said that compared with the peaceful era when the power of the regime can still play a role in restricting the confinement, none of the powerful households who survived from this chaotic era are clean and flawless. After eliminating these potential obstacles from the physical level, the potential ideological positions in this aspect also need to be occupied, replaced and filled. This is the time for the mature operating system to begin to work.

In other words, the relatively advanced (revolutionary) new militarist collective organizational life and the positive labor system to replace the traditional old-style clan and land subordinates as the link, and the backward social structure and its stale and dull ideological atmosphere will still have some vitality and development space for a long time in the future.

This is also one of the greatest achievements and long-term goals that the land reform movement, which laid the foundation for the new socialist country before and after the founding of New China in later generations, became one of the greatest achievements and long-term goals that the land reform movement, which laid the foundation for the new socialist country, was similar to the construction of party organizations in later generations, but it was just that it could not achieve such precise and meticulous comprehensive division of labor and overall mobilization from militia to women and children's corps.

Of course, most people in this world do not care about and perceive the intention and deep meaning behind it. It is because of their life experience and expertise before joining Huaizhen that Chao Gai and others were selected to take on the heavy responsibility of being shameless in this regard.

Therefore, in addition to not being killed indiscriminately, the harvest will be divided into three parts, one of which is mainly grain and unmovable crude benzene, which is used to distribute to local poor households to win over and win over people's hearts, and hire them to tear off the excess walls of the fort; the other is mainly fine, soft and expensive goods, which will become their reward; and finally, all kinds of privately stored arbor and storage materials will be left to hand over to the subsequent robbery envoys.

Therefore, their moods are more concentrated on their own development and their longing for the future.

After all, judging from the current development trend of Huaizhen, no one thinks that they will only stop at their current position, but they must also be able to seize every opportunity in time, which requires them to maintain a more long-term mutual voice and support each other.

Although, with their background and qualifications, I really dare not expect to become one of the founding heroes of the new forces, or to be an important minister or general of the other party, but I can still think about it if I release a large country or take charge of the prefecture;

Therefore, at this moment, we cannot lose the chain and miss this trend and trend.

.........

And on the south bank of the Yellow River, Dujidao is within the territory.

Although the artificial flood has retreated for many years, the traces left by many human powers are still visible everywhere.

On the Guanluo Plain, there are abandoned villages, towns and forts, as well as residual water deposits of large and small, as well as mudflats and muds formed by torrents and silts.

The only ones that could be called lush during this period were probably the wild grass and shrubs that had risen, and the greenery was scattered in the once densely populated and prosperous areas.

Only when approaching the still-destroyed Luodu City, can a large area of ​​trampled and messy fields be harvested, representing the fruits of the local garrison's nearby farming.

Wang Duanchen, the general manager of the northern capital who was patrolling the southern pass of Heyang Bridge, was also looking at the subordinates who were covered in love with her eyes. Although she comforted them gently, her mind had already flown to the distant south.

With the secret envoy from the shogunate oral order, the troops arrived for the fourth time urging him to go south as soon as possible to preside over the situation in Jiangnan and outside the ridge. The title and team of the Privy Councilor of the Privy Councilor had already been prepared for him, and he would be able to operate immediately after he got back.

However, as the leader of the army, how could he easily give up and abandon these people, follow his troops who fought thousands of miles of blood, and return alone with only a few people.

Although there was an imperial edict from the court that they had to move a unit of troops to Shannan to quell the rebellion and suppress the areas; however, the embarrassment and dilemma of even the shortage of funds for the destruction of these troops under his command were not easily experienced by the officials in the courts in the rear.

Therefore, although he knew that some of his subordinates had always been secretly engaged in music with Huaizhen and even maintained long-term private transactions, he pretended not to know and even raised points and concealed them.

And those friendly troops who openly communicate with Huaizhen and use their territory to make trouble, turned a blind eye to them, and let them go.

But this kind of thing ends and one day has to make a choice. Once the Huai Army swept over Hebei, his lonely army and former friendly troops, which were separated by a river, would not know how to deal with it;

However, the court's documents urging the movement and defense were rushing to pass one by one, but the road to return to the south and the channels for obtaining supplies were actually cut off, and it was necessary to send troops to force the attack and fight. However, in fact, the "army that could support so many people's actions," did not know where to settle.

Suddenly, a messenger who was all over his body was like a messenger who was made from sweat rushed out from Beiguan City on the other side, and then passed through the middle city of Hezhou without stopping. Finally, he appeared in front of Wang Duanchen at the top of his lungs, bringing an unexpected bad news.

"There is a change in Tongguan..."
