Chapter 617 After the War

The past three months can be summarized as "no danger".

First, Zhao Maoding's "Huang Army" besieged Suiyang County, and at the same time, they divided their troops to ambush the official army led by the deputy general Xiangfu. Zou Chenbao's teaching troops were divided into three groups, seizing Loushan Pass and besieging Tongzi County. The third group of people invaded Songkan in the north, and the momentum was huge. Not only did the entire northern Guizhou become a mess, but even the officials, gentry and people in Qijiang and Nanchuan counties were panicked, fearing that the war would sweep from northern Guizhou to eastern Sichuan.

Han Xiufeng asked the Zunyi Prefecture's alternate magistrate Jiang Binglin to recruit 2,000 Yongzhuang to assist Suiyang with the food and salary from Sichuan to Guizhou. Wu Kuixiang was worried that the Yongzhuang he temporarily recruited in Songkan was useless, so he drew more than 100 people from each regiment to serve as the chief of the sergeant, and even asked the regiments to bring all the shotguns brought from their hometowns to them.

Jiang Binglin, like Wu Kuixiang, Chen Hu and others stationed in Songkan, did not disappoint Han Xiufeng. Just when Zou Chenbao's envoys besieged Tongzi County, he led two thousand soldiers to bravely defeat Zhao Maoding, who had just won a big victory and even killed Zhao Maoding, the deputy general of Zunyi Association, and could only lead the remaining troops into the mountains and forests, and it is said that he was hiding in a place called Man Wang Cave.

For the bandits, the battle situation on Tongzi is also "taking a sharp turn for the worse".

At the beginning, the fight was very smooth, and Loushan Pass took it without any effort. Tongzi County was about to be captured, but they just didn't listen to the warnings conveyed by Wu Kuixiang through the mouth of the peddler and pawns, and insisted on attacking Songkan. As a result, more than 3,000 people were shot by several rounds of guns from the Baojia Bureau of Ba County and the Yangjiao Tuan and were knocked out of their armor and ran away with their heads in their arms.

How could those civil and military students missed this opportunity to make achievements? Seeing that the bandits were defeated, they led their brave men to take advantage of the situation to chase them. Wu Kuixiang and Chen Hu only knew that it was Chen Tianru's head. When they realized that other groups followed them and were worried about the ambush of the bandits among them, they could only bite the bullet and lead two groups of firearms to chase them.

This pursuit ended at Tongzi City. Zou Chenbao and other bandits who were besieging the county town were caught off guard and were immediately defeated. Pan Changsheng, who was stationed in Hongguan, saw that the Songkan camp was empty, and was worried that more than 100,000 stones of salt and grain would be taken away by the rioters or even burned, hurriedly led Yongzhuang to enter Songkan.

At the same time, some rioters who took advantage of the situation began to harass Baishagang, Shui Niutang and other places. As a result, they were well prepared by Liu Shanyang, Chen Buxun, Ge Erxiao and others, who were stationed along the Songkan River, and the local gentry training organized by the local gentry to cry and cry for their parents.

The serious battle lasted for thirteen days. At the invitation of the Zunyi Prefecture, Tongzi and Suiyang County Chief Hall, it took two months to help the officers clear the remaining bandits, killing and capturing three or four thousand bandits. Due to the war, the Chongqing-Guizhou business road that had been blocked for three months was opened again, and the situation in northern Guizhou was completely reversed.

If you have a great victory if you have a good fortune, you will be rewarded if you have any achievements.

If the victory is not reported, and the group leader and regiment warrior who did not report the bandit suppression efforts, the soldiers would not be able to be brought. The reason why Han Xiufeng was not reported the victory for a long time, nor did the group leader and regiment warrior who had made contributions in Zhebao was because the new Sichuan Governor Huang Zonghai was worried about the safety of eastern Sichuan, so he sent his friend Li Yanggu, who had just found out a wrongful case, to come to Yangjiao Camp again.

Although Li Yanggu did not say it clearly, his attitude was very clear: East Sichuan was under Sichuan's rule, and the contribution of the Sichuan delegation training was Sichuan's contribution. This memorial for the victory should be written by the National Taiwan Master. The head of the group who helped prevent and block the enemy and even helped to quell the rebellion should be provided by the National Taiwan Master Master Master!

Considering that the frequent guarantees were not good, Han Xiufeng simply followed the situation and asked him to handle the matter with full authority. He would give him the credit as he wanted. However, the official documents were sent from Yangjiao Camp to Chengdu, and there was a reply from Chengdu and sent it again, which wasted a lot of time.

Han Xiufeng couldn't sit still anymore, so he invited Li Yanggu to the commander's tent and said bluntly: "Mr. Li, it's already the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. The regiments are in charge of going home for the New Year. But they have just made military achievements, so we can't let everyone go back like this, otherwise there will be wars in northern Guizhou or other places, and it will be difficult to summon them to help prevent the blockade!"

Li Yanggu was as anxious as he said apologetically: "Mr. Han, it should be soon. Wait for three or five days at most. If there is no news in another five days, you should ask me."

"You are asking, it's easy for you to say. Can I, Han Xiufeng, hit you Mr. Li's board, or can I cut you Mr. Li's head?"

"Sir, please calm down. Wansheng didn't expect this official document to go so slowly."

Han Xiufeng was not as easy to talk to before this time. He found a letter and a document sent by the military bureau from the court, and said coldly: "This letter was sent by Mr. Jiang, the governor of Guizhou. The document from the military bureau was transferred from Guiyang. Mr. Li, please take a look first."

Li Yanggu was shocked and hurriedly got up to take the letter and official documents and read it.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, I’m even more anxious when I look at it.

Before, thinking that Huang Zonghan could not recommend too many people at once, Han Xiufeng drafted a list of the leader and brave men who had made contributions to the military army in suppressing the bandits, and handed them to Zhu Youzeng, the governor of Zunyi, and asked Zhu Youzeng to report to Jiang Xuyuan, the governor of Guizhou.

Jiang Xuyuan knew very well that if Han Xiufeng's Sichuan East Coach was not helped, not to mention whether the county towns such as Tongzi and Suiyang could be defended, even Zunyi Prefecture would be lost. How could he dare to disappoint Han Xiufeng, so he sent 600 miles to rush to report a lot of people on the list, and personally wrote a letter to express his gratitude. After receiving the report, the emperor also approved it all, and the Military Affairs Office had sent a document to reward him.

To prevent blocking efforts, Liu Shanyang, a juren from Jiangbei District, Sichuan, was awarded the title of magistrate.

He used his efforts to suppress the thieves to reward Chen Hu and Lan Ling, the chief minister of Zunyi Xie Zuoying Dushi.

He was awarded the title of Qianzheng Ge Erxiao and Lan Ling for his efforts to suppress the bandits. He was awarded the title of Qianzheng Ge Erxiao and Lan Ling. He was awarded the title of Qianzheng of the Right Camp of Zunyi Xie.

To help suppress the thieves, he rewarded Chen Tianru, a supervisor of Ba County, Sichuan Province, with the eighth-rank top belt.

To suppress the thieves, he rewarded Zhang Biao, a student of the Chaling Supervisor in Hunan, and was the eighth-rank top belt.

To suppress the thieves, he rewarded Li Tianbao, a supervisor of Ba County, with the eighth-rank top belt.

...

The Guardians in Guizhou not only approved the full approval, but even gave more than a dozen real shortcomings. Chen Hu transformed into the Zunyi Associate Zunyi Associate to be upgraded in Guizhou, Ge Erxiao became the Qianzheng General of the Right Camp of the Zunyi Associate to be upgraded in Guizhou, four Wujiansheng who worked hard to suppress the thieves and more than a dozen brave soldiers who "fighted and fought bravely" became the chief of the Zunyi Associate to be promoted, the Qianzheng General of the Foreign Commissioner and the Foreign Commissioner.

There is no news in Sichuan until now. Li Yanggu felt very uncomfortable and put down the official document and said angrily: "Mr. Han, Xiangfu is incompetent, and the entire army of Wangcao was wiped out. At this time, Lord Jiang asked Chen Dusi to transfer General Ge Qian to Guizhou. It was clearly planned to let Chen Dusi and General Ge Qian help rebuild the second camp of Zunyi Association, which was clearly a corner of our Sichuan East Army regiment training!"

"Mr. Li, people go to high places and water flows to low places. You and I cannot stop people's future."

Han Xiufeng paused and said meaningfully: "Besides, this is not a bad thing for me in eastern Sichuan. Think about it, if Songkan is the gateway to northern Guizhou, then Zunyi is the gateway to Songkan. If Chen Hu and others recruit hundreds of soldiers to guard Zunyi in Songkan, you and I will save a lot of worry in the future. After all, it is not a matter of one day or one night to eliminate the bandits in Guizhou. I guess I will have to suppress it for two or three years."

"That's right, they are our people from East Sichuan after all."

"Now, how can I care about these things? If I only care about myself, I, Sichuan, still have to help Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan and even Liangjiang at the same time?"

"What the lord said is that I have cooperated with several provinces in Sichuan, and now I have to pay not only money, but also people!"

"If you want to talk about people, you have already left. Are there fewer Sichuan soldiers in Liangjiang and Huguang?" Han Xiufeng asked back, and then changed the subject: "We are off topic, so we will get back to the topic. I dare not let the people below know the official document transferred from Guizhou, otherwise it might cause a lot of trouble. Mr. Li, if you want to say that there is no news in Chengdu, I, Han Xiufeng, really don't know how to explain to the people below."

"Yang Gu knows, Yang Gu understands, don't worry, you won't wait too long, at most three or five days."

"Okay, I'll wait for another five days. If there is no news in another five days, then please ask Mr. Li to Xuan this official document on my behalf!"

...

After sending Li Yanggu away, Han Xiufeng returned to his rented home in Yangjiao Village.

Mr. Fei was sitting in the main hall, accompanying Duan Dazhang and Mr. Sun Wu who came to visit relatives and friends the day before yesterday to have tea and chat.

As soon as he saw Han Xiufeng, Duan Dazhang asked with a smile: "Zhixing, what did Li Yanggu say?"

"What can he say? After all, this is something that is too urgent to come."

"If there is no news from Huang Zonghan, how can you explain to the people below?"

"This uncle can rest assured. Whether it is the supervisory group below, the gentry and businessmen who are helping the grain station, Xiufeng explained that they should be able to listen. Besides, they will never be less than their duty, but one day earlier and one day later."

"Lao Wu, look, this is the wind of the general!"

Duan Dazhang laughed and then murmured: "Huang Zonghan is also a capable official, and he is still in charge. He has less than a year since he was in office. He first investigated the unjust case, and then made a fuss with the court. As soon as the provincial examination was over, he asked to convert the more than a dozen civil and military provincial examinations I donated in Sichuan to five permanent quotas. The emperor actually agreed and immediately won the hearts of the scholars. But he reported the victory and won the news for such a big event, but he had no news for a long time. It was really strange to think about it."

"Maybe it was because the official document was delayed on the road." Master Sun Wu pondered.

Duan Dazhang shook his head: "Why didn't the Guizhou official documents be delayed? I don't think this matter is that simple."

Han Xiufeng smiled and said, "Uncle, Fifth Master, I guess Lord Huang is probably planning to send someone to pass the order."

Master Sun Wu reacted and couldn't help asking: "Zhixing, do you not worry about Huang Zonghan saying this?"

"What's wrong with him? If he guessed correctly, he was targeting these thousands of war-capable soldiers. He didn't send a trustworthy person to send an order or a few trustworthy people to help with the camp affairs. He felt uneasy. After all, Huguang is in trouble and Changmao is in trouble, and Guizhou is in trouble. It is said that the Miao people and Hui people in Yunnan are also ready to move. No one knows whether my Sichuan will follow the chaos. Not only is my Eight Banners Green Camp in Sichuan not only has great use, but has been drawn out long ago. If something happens, where will he transfer troops to suppress the chaos?"

The more Duan Dazhang thought about it, the more reasonable it made, and he couldn't help but sigh: "As the governor, he cannot lack a soldier under his command."

"But isn't this a robbery of your military power?" Master Sun Wu asked in surprise.

"Fifth Master, I am not only not afraid of him sending personnel to seize military power, but I am also a little worried that he will not send personnel."

"How do you say this?"

"Because before the battle started, these thousands of brave men were just a group of mobs, and the court would not worry, and the Taiwan-Making Office would look down on them. But now that a war has just been fought and won, the court would not think that these thousands of brave men were a group of mobs. If the Taiwan-Making Office did not send personnel to help with the camp affairs and came to the Prime Minister for the Grain Station, wouldn't these thousands of brave men be brave? My situation would be the same as that of Zeng Guofan and Lord Zeng."

"It's true!" Duan Dazhang agreed deeply and couldn't help but laugh: "The more you can't be proud of yourself, and you can't have a grudge with the governor like Zeng Guofan. Huang Zonghan wants to give him military power. Anyway, you, the Minister of the regiment training, can't be long."

"I'm afraid that a fool will be sent. At that time, maybe a general will be incompetent and exhausted the three armies." Master Sun Wu said with a frown.

"You are always assured. After all, we are still a group training team, not a village chariot, nor a green camp. Those supervisors are very clear about preventing and blocking bandits. Protecting the country and the people are the top priority, and they cannot be transferred with just a document. In addition, before Zou Chenbao came to Songkan, I asked Wu Kuixiang to use the mouths of the local people to warn the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. As long as they do not commit Songkan, we will remain silent."

Han Xiufeng paused and continued, "But they didn't believe it and had to come and provoke us, so Wu Kuixiang and Chen Hu gave them some color. It can be said that they were already beaten and were afraid of being beaten! In the next two or three years, they should not dare to commit Songkan again, let alone enter our eastern Sichuan."

Speaking of this, Mr. Fei Er, who had not interrupted the conversation, couldn't help but smile and said, "Wu Kuixiang and Chen Hu did not restrain the leaders of the group who were eager to make contributions, and they followed them to the city of Tongzi. Now that I think about Chen Tianru and other leaders of the group were defeated by mistake, otherwise how could they kill the chicken and scare the monkey like now?"

"Second Master, you always say that you are rebelling. It is not killing the chicken to scare the monkey, but killing the monkey to scare the chicken."

"Yes, yes, it's indeed a killing monkey to scare the chicken!"

"But although Chen Tianru's gang of stinky boys made great contributions, they could not just stop the matter of not following orders and leading brave men to chase Yu bandits without authorization. I have already recalled them. If you have merits, you will be punished. Tomorrow morning, they will be organized into the "Rouble Head Battalion" as before, and give them rules so that they can know the consequences of not following orders."

"What should Chen Hu and the others do? Let them go to Zunyi to take office after the New Year, or wait for news from Chengdu to let them go to Guizhou?"
