Chapter 234 Land of Two Counties
The war in Huaishui County ended quickly. After all, the so-called security regiment was only composed of a group of foreign soldiers. After they killed Zhang Yi, the former commander of the security regiment, they completely severed their relationship with the locals. Not supported by the people.
Therefore, in the face of the independent regiment's attack, they were basically defeated at the first touch, and although the defeated soldiers who fled around did not die on the battlefield, they had no good fruit to eat.
When they were caught by the people carrying farm tools, they basically all died in a very miserable state.
As for the Dao of the Three Emperors, this cult is a bit tricky. Tang Ziyou, the master of the great altar, has really fooled many people. Instead of helping to hunt down the members of the Dao of the Three Emperors, these ignorant believers even took the initiative to protect and cover up the members of the independent group. Caused a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, the core member of the Three Emperors Dao named Song Dagu, under the careful care of the Special Investigation Office, was greatly moved physically and mentally, so he took the initiative to confess several secret strongholds and hiding places of the Three Emperors Dao.
Soon, Tang Ziyou, the master of the Great Altar of the Three Sovereigns, was snatched out of a cave by the soldiers of the Independence Regiment.
The altar master who once stood in front of the stage, bluffing and deceitful, with an inscrutable expression, is now a frightened little old man in a mountain village, his legs are trembling and his crotch is wet.
However, this old guy still has a lot of reputation in Huaishui County, and in the hearts of those believers, he is still the powerful figure who can summon gods and ghosts.
This will not work!
Lin Hongfei couldn't allow such a powerful figure to exist in Huaishui County.
Therefore, Chu Liangyi decided to behead Tang Ziyou in public.
Moreover, he also released news that Tang Ziyou had always claimed that he was the reincarnation of Maitreya, and that he would not die if his head fell off.
This time, he cut off Tang Ziyou's head, and if Tang Ziyou survived, Chu Liangyi would kowtow to Tang Ziyou in public!
On the day of the beheading, there were crowds of people around the execution platform, including many believers, who wanted to witness the moment when Tang Ziyou performed a miracle.
Then, they were disappointed.
Provoking Tang Ziyou's bloody head with a bamboo pole, Chu Liangyi announced sharply: "From now on, no one in Huaishui County will be allowed to preach in the name of gods and ghosts. Once discovered, they will be executed immediately!"
"Tang Ziyou, that's their fate!"
Seeing that even the master of the great altar was finished, the remaining members of the Three Emperors naturally did not dare to stay in Huaishui County any longer. They hurriedly packed up their bedding and escaped from Huaishui and Jiangbei overnight.
Because they heard that the county magistrate Chu Liangyi was under the command of Chief Lin Hongfei, the Jiangbei guard.It seems that this place in Jiangbei cannot stay anymore!
With the return of Huaishui County, Lin Hongfei only had Bei'an and Pingcheng counties left. Originally, Lin Hongfei planned to take it slowly and recover the two counties peacefully.
But now time can no longer allow Lin Hongfei to do this. He must completely control the entire Jiangbei region before the war in Zhiwan.
At this moment, in the study, Lin Hongfei and Wu Yongquan were sitting opposite each other across the desk, and Hu Yitong from the Special Investigation Department was standing next to him.
Hu Yitong said slowly: "According to the information we found out, there are more than 1300 members of the militia in Bei'an County. Zhang Baoqing, the commander of the militia, is the second son of the local Zhang family.
"Besides, He Shuzhong, the magistrate of Bei'an County, is the nephew of Governor He Taikang. If we attack Bei'an County, it may attract the dissatisfaction of Governor He."
"The other is Pingcheng County. There are more than 1000 people in the security regiment in the county. The commander of the security regiment, Chen Zeyuan, was a former Qing bandit. After being recruited, he served as the head of the Pingcheng County regiment. .”
"The local county magistrate, Pei Feng, was originally a former Qing Ju. After the Republic of China, in order to gain the support of the local big families, Chen Ze took the initiative to elect Pei Feng as the county magistrate."
"These two people have a culture and a military. They have been operating in Pingcheng County for many years. It can be said that they have deep roots and deep connections."
"If force is used against them, I'm afraid the resistance they will encounter will not be too small!" After Hu Yitong finished speaking, he stepped aside and waited for Lin Hongfei's inquiry.
At this time, Wu Yongquan frowned, showing a hint of embarrassment: "I didn't expect that the two counties of Bei'an and Pingcheng would be so difficult. This is not at the same level as our previous enemies!"
Lin Hongfei said slowly: "Not only that, Songshan, Renle and other places took the initiative to attack us before, and we sent troops to attack, which can be regarded as a famous teacher."
"But Bei'an and Pingcheng haven't committed any misdemeanors. It's just that I gave orders, and they were perfunctory, at best, ineffective."
"Sending troops to attack in such a name is not a good reason!"
"Furthermore, rashly sending out troops and triggering a war will also arouse the resentment of the local people. After all, the two counties of Pingcheng and Bei'an have been relatively peaceful over the years, and the lives of the common people have been quite peaceful."
"By doing this, we gave the local gentry an opportunity to incite the common people to make trouble."
"At that time, things will not be easy to handle!"
Wu Yongquan sighed lightly: "Indeed, this is really a troublesome matter!"
At this time, the study room fell into silence, and even the breathing of the three of them was very clear.
After a long time, Wu Yongquan slapped the armrest and cursed: "Damn it, don't think so much, I think we should stop looking forward and backward, and directly press the soldiers, whether they like it or not."
"Which big and wealthy gentry dares to challenge, just kill him directly, not one family, two families, two families, three families!"
"Trouble is trouble, anyway, we have more people with guns, so come and kill as many as you want!"
"I don't believe that there are still people who dare to fight against our men!"
Hearing this, Lin Hongfei suddenly figured out something, he tapped his fingers vigorously, and said: "Yongquan, don't say it, these few words of yours really reminded me."
"I was always worried that the gentry would incite the common people to make troubles and add trouble to us, so I have been reluctant to take the initiative to attack others."
"As soon as you said that, I suddenly came back to it."
"Why do these common people make trouble with the gentry? Isn't it because the gentry control the people's land, food, and IOUs?"
"So, if we slaughter these troublesome gentry and divide their property among the people of the two counties!"
"At the same time, some fields will be spared, and some people will be relocated from Songshan, Renle, Huixian and other places, and the land will be distributed to them for farming for free."
"In this way, the local people can be divided, and the people will expect us to fight against the landlords and landlords, and give them the land."
"As for the people who migrated from other places, in order to avoid losing their hard-won land, they will follow us wholeheartedly."
"In this way, the land of these two counties is ours!"
