"The thieves in the river cannot succeed on the river. We will go further after that, and create fortresses at the waterways entering the river in Qi, An and Huangzhou, and seal off their way out."

According to Gao Yue's instructions, Yan Zhen and Lu Huan crossed the river, and in Caishan, Qikou, Huanggang, Huangpi and other important places, they began to send troops to cut down wood and set up fences to control the rush. Then, during the dry winter season, the soldiers were asked to burn grass every day, and the entire section of the north of the river was full of fireworks, with the purpose of leaving the thieves in the river without a place to stay.

One after another, a small group of thieves put down their weapons and came to surrender with their families.

Gao Yue promptly instructed: From now on, if there are pirates and mountain sheds who are willing to reform, they will not be humiliated and killed. They will be distributed to the fields on the spot, lend them oxen, medicine and seeds, let them rob them of food, and then form baojia. However, if anyone dares to give it to the government and then join the thief, they will not only slaughter their families, but also practice the law of slaughtering them.

This method is very powerful.

The implementation of Baojia can effectively strengthen the government's control over these people and implement joint seizures, which can effectively shock them. In fact, they are just farmers who are seeking food. As long as the conditions are acceptable, they can still return to farming life with peace of mind;

There is a reason why Gao Yue has distributed the fields nearby. From then on, this field, this cow, this house, this village is yours. If the river thieves and mountain sheds come to rob, you will be the first victim. You have to defend your property and protect your family: provoking reformed bandits and fighting against evil bandits has always been Gao Yue's proud skill.

The encirclement and suppression of the government army was not impatient or impatient, and was steadily advancing.

By the winter solstice, the several states where the river thieves were originally crisscrossed were gradually compressed into several areas that were not connected. The river thieves in Qihuang were the most scattered, and only Yunmengze was left in Anzhou, which was also unfamiliar.

Even if there were a small group of Jiang thieves who were lucky enough to grab one or two single cargo ships, they found that the times have changed. Merchants did not bring cash, and they didn't even have cloth, and only stacked paper coins were replaced. Jiang thieves were sitting on the deck, holding these exquisitely printed items in their hands, laughing and crying, and wondering what these paper coins could be exchanged for. They were so cruel that they could only throw them into the cold wind.

This product is wood and porcelain, so it is definitely not edible to eat it. It is impossible to sell the goods. The original backer Huaixi Town has been destroyed. Several states in Shinguang, Cai'an, Qihuang, and all village baojia system were implemented. In addition, Gao Yue had made ruthless moves to destroy Caizhou, which dared to assist the thieves to fight against the official army, and killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, so no one dared to take over and sell these goods again.

In the end, the group of thieves decided to take a chance. They decided to drag the goods in a small boat to the originally familiar village and exchange them for rice and meat at a low price. They and their families were also very hungry.

As a result, as soon as they got ashore, the people from the village saw the sound of gongs and drums, and the shouts of "There are thieves in the river!" were everywhere. Not only in the village, but also the strong men of Baojia around them all carried bows and arrows, and the guns and palladium were rushing over. The woman was urging her to help, and the armor head waved the flag there and shouted, "Go and report to the army to capture the thieves in the river, you go forward and expel them together, kill the head, and the government has a reward!"

"Here!"

Arrows flew over, guns and bullets flew over, mixed with people shouting and barking at dogs. The thieves in the river were desperate, and several people were killed immediately. The others rushed into the grass in the river and ran away in the boat, and didn't dare to turn their heads back.

When the town garrison arrived, the Baojia cut off the heads of several Jiang thieves' corpses, took back most of the goods, and handed them over to the town general for credit.

The town will be very happy and will also divide it into the village part according to the reward regulations, and also leave the part itself.

Because they also have "performance" regulations.

It’s snowing, and the days of Jiangzhe and Shantang are even harder.

Originally, they could rob merchant ships, but they would drive the ships to land on the shore without passing ships, rob and burn the streets and wells of the market towns and streets. Behind them are Huaixi selling stolen goods. They are really unrestrained and delicious.

But now they can't rob, and no one dares to take the stolen goods. The water and land are tightly blocked, and all the supplies of life cannot be in. The bodies of corpses, including women and children, are everywhere. Some are lying in the weeds on the river bank, and some are floating among the flickering ice rivers, extremely miserable.

Soon, more than 80% of the thieves in Jiangxi subjugated or were wiped out.

The rest were like insects that had passed the winter, and were killed by the cold and starving. With the help of the government, they began to surrender one after another.

Although Liu Zongyuan, the magistrate of the Guangzhou Branch Inspection Institute, although his power was not in the Yangtze River, since the beginning of winter, many mountain sheds that could not survive had begun to plunder the villages and towns under his jurisdiction. The Liuyuan official rushed to the battlefield in person to witness how the town garrison and Baojia defeated the mountain shed, and how the barefoot bodies of the mountain shed were hung up for public display.

Faced with such a cruel side in the officialdom, Liu Zongyuan's heart ability continued to strengthen.

He gradually began to understand that the world is not only Chang'an and Luoyang, nor is it just a study garden, but also in this town and town where money and flesh are circulated all the time.

"When spring is warm and flowers bloom, there will be no way for bandits to survive in the entire Huaixi area. Instead, it will be the kingly way of Duke Gao Wei!" Liu Zongyuan thought so.

This is exactly the case.

In the beginning of spring, the people along Caizhou and Guangzhou, as the roar of spring thunder, were all cheerful and told good news: The Duke of Wei was willing to share the land with us, and they were exempt from rent and tax for three years!

Gao Yue made a letter and fulfilled his promise, which was to allocate one-third of the fields left by the indigenous military soldiers who died in the Huaixi War of Praying the Huaixi Province, and allocate them to the people for free as Yongye fields. They were all drawn into the anvil base book and then taxed them three years later.

After the Jiang bandits were wiped out, merchants from all walks of life also became active. They began to use Gao Yue to pay off the debts along the land and waterways, and began to hire local people to burn soil and bricks, and build house shops: while the people farmed, they could also get a short wage, and they were all happy. Therefore, the people in Caizhou and Guangzhou were almost ecstatic about the good deeds of Wei's deity to them overnight. Now Gao Yue is in Huainan, and everyone calls him "Gao Bodhisattva", and scolds Li Xilie and the two Wus.

Therefore, the practice of the Sutra Realm was implemented very smoothly in these areas, including Shouzhou and Luzhou.

Books for all prefectures and counties after tax have also been formulated one after another.

After a lot of busyness, Liu Zongyuan felt that his career was successful and he felt enlightened.

After a day off, he accompanied his colleagues and subordinates, went outings on the mountain outside the city. When he climbed the green hills after the snow melted, he looked at the rural ruins around him and found that the farmers were full of vitality, as if they had released power that they had not had before. They had effectively laid stone tablets at the newly obtained ridges of the fields and began to happily plant grain.

Liu Zongyuan really felt that when Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang separatist, their bodies had turned into soil, and their barriers had been plowed into fields. Their reputation would be infamous for thousands of years. Outside the regular fields, the flowers and plants all over the mountains revived and grew lushly and vigorously.

The old Huaixi has been completely obscured.

The new Huaixi is unstoppable step forward on its ruins!
