When the news that Xie Muguan, the key to the mountains, had already changed hands, it was noon on the third day.

However, a pursuing force led by Wang Yanzhang led several key points in Jiuyi Mountain, and was able to attack Guanzhai in one go. He defeated Chen Yanqian's remaining troops who were defending Chen Yanqian and killed thousands of people. Only Chen Yanqian, who saw that the situation was not good, ran fast, collapsed along the mountain road and died in Hunan again.

The spread of this news in Guiyang City also represents the momentary prestige in the local area, and the long-term driving of officials and civilians to run around, claiming to be underground governors, Chen Yanqian and Chen Daguanren, who were almost no longer able to have the opportunity to return to Guiyang for the future and expectations.

Amid the cheers and shouts of cheers under the city wall, the miners who had been publicly tried under the guidance of many victims, their heads and supervisors were cut off one by one, hung on the edge of the city wall, and they became new and old scenery that stood upright or struggled hard.

Many other people who were shackled and cried loudly under the city wall were the mine owners, the accomplices and lackeys of the supervisors. This is also the main result of the search and search work carried out in the past few days around the main mining areas in the three counties.

The person in charge of the public trial was Chai Ping, the deputy who seemed to be a little shameless and brave; although due to the haste of time and limited staff, there were inevitably some fallacies and omissions, or they were simply overcorrecting, or they were slandering and over-involving.

But Zhou Huaian would not hesitate or regret it; after all, this is one of the prices that he must pay to destroy the decaying old order and establish a new order for himself on this difficult and dangerous road he has taken.

Compared with the infamy and criticism of "family crying" or "several families crying" that caused a few people to suffer and die, what he cared more about is that more people no longer need to "cry thousands of families" and "cry all the way", and the dignity of survival will be maintained for generations.

As for the possible mistakes and collateral damage in the pursuit of ideals and beliefs, to avoid the contradictions and oppositions used to escape the cruel struggle and real suffering that overturned an old class; and even leave endless troubles and hidden worries for one's career and prospects, it is just an excuse for hypocrisy and weakness in the Bourgeois style of later generations;

I am sorry for the vast number of poor people who can fight for and mobilize and live in dire straits and slaughter, and I am sorry for the countless rebel soldiers who fought bloody battles and sacrificed their lives on the road to pursuit.

"Congratulations to the Lord, for getting this barrier, Lingnan will be free from worries from now on."

Ge Congzhou, who was patrolling the city, also loudly congratulated him.

"Even if you advance to Hunan in the future, it is unknown..."

Because, this means that since ancient times, three of the Five Ridge and Four Holes have fallen under the control of the Taiping Army led by Zhou Huaian. The remaining Yuecheng Lingda/Gu Ling channel is actually within the sphere of influence controlled by the rebel army. Therefore, as long as a small number of capable troops are used to guard and guard, they can be closed for a period of time in the future and have spare time to sort out the situation and internal affairs in Lingnan.

"It's just a long-term and grand plan to survive for the people, and it has taken another small step."

Zhou Huaian, who was thinking this way, nodded slightly and pointedly.

"There are still many things that we need to work harder in the future. Especially to continue to make use of the current good situation. It is better to contribute to the rebel army's career in the Ridge..."

“What the Lord said is very....”

"That's what the leader said..."

"Stay foresight, we will do whatever you say..."

The left and right generals are also full of approval and response.

On the other hand, there are tens of thousands of miners in the three counties of Guiyang who have been engaged in mining for generations; they have fallen into the control of the Taiping Army; at least compared with those farmers under the small peasant economic system, they have a concept of collective and organization, and are known for their hard work and courage. As long as they are properly mobilized and transformed, they can become a good potential source of troops and mobilization basis.

You should know that in the past, the powerful people like Chen Yanqian used the natural geographical closure of the place to control the entry and exit of various places with private soldiers; then further squeezed and differentiated them by monopolizing food, cloth, salt and other people's livelihood needs; thugs and supervisors used to monitor and control their personal bodies, and were unable to turn over for generations.

Even if there is occasional resistance, it can be suppressed through blockade and siege, divided and disintegrated and collapsed; even if someone fled into the mountains and forests, there are also Mo Yaoman, who is familiar with the mountains and forests, and they will be recaptured for help. Therefore, although there are some bandits in the local area, they are basically powerful households who are engaged in activities for their backers.

Anyway, there are many lynchings and tortures here, and the whole family will be killed when the signs of resistance are moved. The managers and supervisors of the lower accomplices can do whatever they want. Even if foreign merchants and travelers are robbed, they will be killed and thrown into the abandoned mine cave, there will be no news. Not to mention secretly insults or disguised as bandits, they will go to nearby prefectures and counties outside the mountain to plunder the population, and fill the mine with young men and women.

Therefore, through just these public complaints and trials, more than 3,000 miners were recruited and collected in Guiyang. Local young and strong people from mountain people were born in the territory of Guiyang. Although most of them had malnutrition to varying degrees, the overall quality of their spirit was still better than those who could not directly serve in the army and needed some time to cultivate and recover.

In this way, the structure of the four local supplementary camps was built and filled.

Then, there were nearly 2,000 former soldiers rescued from the mines. Driven by the willingness to avenge revenge, most of them took the initiative to join the Taiping Army. Although most of them were in a bad state, the situation they used to suppress and clear the local situation that they suffered was basically no problem.

After the accumulation of these and other things, Chai Ping's previous defeats and injuries in the Battle of Guiyang were suddenly replenished and there were still many Kang Yu; in addition, Zhou Huaian brought the Fifth Battalion personnel who were basically full and did not suffer much loss, and the soldiers under the Taiping Army in Guiyang could be used in one go, which reached more than 12,000 people at once.

Therefore, as the saying goes, if you get Long and look for Shu, you should pursue the enemy with courage and not seek fame and learn the basic principles of being overlords. Zhou Huaian still understands quite well. At this point, will he still stay for the New Year if he never dies?

"In fact, there is no need to say anything about Hunan in the future."

Therefore, thinking of this section, Zhou Huaian continued to tell the generals under his command.

"Now there is a chance to try the chat. But I wonder who would lead his troops to go..."

"At least in Pingyang County on the other side of the mountain, there are also hundreds of mine pits of all sizes and a large number of miners;"

"It would be a good thing if they could be successfully launched and occupied, or most of them were moved back;"

"No matter how bad it is, it cannot be kept in vain. It will become the help and evidence for the old Chen thief to recuperate or make a comeback."

"Although I am not talented, I am willing to work hard to go... to live up to the cultivation of the leader..."

This time, the deputy commander Huo Cun took the lead and asked for a request.

"Okay, that's you..."

Then, Zhou Huaian said with a little annoyance and reluctance on the left and right, and sighing eyes and expressions.

"I will give you two battalions a complete set of soldiers and equipped with enough mules and horses, and five garrisons will work together for the follow-up... I will bring you enough grain and machinery for three months to use for Zibo."

"When you can gain a foothold outside the mountain, the subsequent supporting food and supplies will be forwarded through Xie Muguan's Grain Terminal Courtyard soon."

"For the sake of cheap things, I will then report to the Ministry of Residence, and you will be promoted to the rank of Chief Commander in advance, and you will be the general of Xie Muguan Town."

Zhou Huaian added

"In addition, you may choose to use the personnel of the survey team, the work team and the census; at least you must make the enemy's rule chaos and not have a moment of rest and rest for a while."

"Subordinates, respect their teachings and will never let them down."

Huo Cun clasped his fists and politely politely;

The expressions and eyes of the other generals turned into some unconcealed envy and even more obvious regret in the rustling sound; and Ge Congzhou, as a sworn brother, was also extremely relieved, after all, this was the eleventh chief lieutenant under the six chief clerks of the rebel army.

"Don't feel envious of others, either."

Zhou Huaian glanced around and said until the sounds spontaneously calmed down.

"Risks and opportunities have always coexisted and shared good fortune and fortune, and only need to be seized by those with ability and courage."

"If you want to kill the enemy and repay the reward, you don't know that there is this place. The current situation in Lianzhou is also a place where you have great potential..."

"I just want to do my best..."

Ge Congzhou shouted immediately.

"Follow the Lord to clear the demonic atmosphere and make the world clear..."

As the saying goes, it is the principle that morale and people's hearts are available; in the days after Huo Cun's ruler's leaving, Lianzhou was still in a faint blood color; but it was the act of liquidation and trial, which gradually spread from relatively densely populated cities and towns to nearby villages.

This was also a try by Zhou Huaian, to see how far and the extent of the transformation and liquidation of the local area could be implemented under the catalysis of his full efforts. The geographical nature and military advantages of the vassal states were sufficiently closed, which was enough to make him confident that he could block the flow of news and personnel, and avoid affecting and affecting the overall atmosphere in other places under the rebel army.

For example, after being attacked by more than a dozen large and small village characters in one go, the few Mo Xieman who had not yet been attacked in the Dazhai leader also sent people to beg for mercy and beg for peace; they were willing to hand over hundreds or thousands of young men and women to serve as labor, and hand over the people who fled to hide and the price of going down the mountain to open the market in exchange for a coexistence situation where the rebels showed mercy.

In the quiet Guiyang City, Zhou Huaian also received a message requesting a visit, but was a representative of local travelers stranded. In addition to mining and smelting-related businesses, there were also many other business and demands in Guiyang, which led to a steady stream of business travel.

These people mainly sell salted fish produced in coastal areas, which is a very affordable and cheap specialty in the mountainous areas; then buy or replace it with some mountain goods and take it back to the plains or coastal areas;

This is actually a disguised act of evading inspections, which is a scattered ball-like salt trading, but it is not within the scope of the rebels' severe crackdown. Therefore, Zhou Huaian did not hesitate to see him and asked about some news about the areas outside the mountain.

"I'm looking for virtue in the Jin Dynasty, and see the general..."

But he was a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, thick hands and feet, and spoke with a strong mountainous voice. It is said that he was also one of the victims who had been harmed by Chen Yanqian.
