In the Battle of Wanling, Zhe Xin easily defeated the rebels who were three times more than him. He killed more than 40,000 rebels on the spot and captured more than 70,000 prisoners. The remaining tens of thousands of rebels were scattered. Qian Shao and several important rebel leaders died in the chaos.

In this battle, the rebels basically broke the backbone of the rebels. The rebels who had originally occupied Jixian and Lingyang immediately fled without a trace. The rebels from other places were in panic all day long, fearing that the Youzhou army would go south and completely wipe them out.

However, Zhe Xin did not do this, but continued to stay in Wanling, busy packing up the prisoners, purchasing Wanling's land, and distributing the land to the people. It seemed that there was no intention to go south to wipe out the rebels in one breath, which made the rebels even more panic. The so-called knife hanging above the head was even more terrifying than the one that fell.

Zhe Xin really wanted to go south, but his idea was immediately blocked by the General Staff. As for why, the General Staff did not explain. Although Zhe Xin didn't understand very well, he could probably guess something. Perhaps the General Staff and the lord did not want to advance so quickly, but hoped to make the territory under control first and then slowly advance southward.

Sure enough, the General Staff received an order to cooperate with Gu Yong who arrived later to implement the new policy and train new recruits in Wanling.

Gu Yong came from Moling. Due to the rebels, the new policy, which was originally slow to progress, suddenly accelerated. In the face of the danger of life and death, the originally stubborn and conservative farmers suddenly became daring to accept new things. The so-called poverty is changed in a sense, in fact, it is necessary to change. Only when the end of the road can people's courage burst out.

In just one month, the things that were originally difficult to implement suddenly became simple. Except for a small number of small landlords who were still a little resistant, the vast majority of clans and people gradually accepted this new policy and understood what benefits the new policy would bring to themselves.

And the small landlords who insisted on refusing to give up their land, according to Fang Zhiwen's meaning, did not have to pay any attention to it, and how could they resist under the general trend? Soon after, they will find that there will be no other way out except to accept and actively develop under some new rules. As for the rebellion, the facts will be in front of them.

Moling, Danyang, Shicheng, Wuhu, Liyang and other places have successfully completed the implementation of the new policy, and Gu Yong also implemented the new policy to Wanling, which had just ended the battle.

The situation in Wanling is also good. Because of the war, the wealthy families sold their land one after another and immigrated to the stable city in the north. Wanling City is an ordinary person from the south who is unwilling to be involved in the rebel camp. When they learned that they could exchange land near Wanling with certificates from the south, and those without land could still obtain land for free, these people burst out with great enthusiasm and quickly completed the land allocation and replanting work. In a few days, the entire Wanling City restored normal production and living order. The only difference is that there were more smiles on people's faces and more children in the city. Children who had to go to work in the past must now go to school.

Everything went well, and Gu Yong was in a good mood. Gu Yong, who was in the government office, still had time to occasionally slacket off and cook a cup of new tea while watching the latest government notices and the business newspapers they bought.

In the notice, several new cities have begun to be built in Yanmen and Xuantu. This year, summer grain production in the north will increase, and prices may fall slightly, etc. Official internal news. As for the content in the business newspaper, there is more content, but the credibility is not that high.

"grown ups"

"What's the matter?"

"There is a young man outside the yamen who asked for a meeting and said that there was something important to report to the adults!"

"What a big thing? Does this boy have a name?"

"Report to the master, the person who came claimed to be from Wu County, named Zhu Huan, and his courtesy name was Xiumu."

"Zhu Huan? I haven't heard of it. Please send him to the recruitment hall. Let him come and see him!"

Gu Yong was halfway through his words, remembering that the Recruitment Hall seemed to have not been built in Wanling, so he changed his words and asked someone to bring Zhu Huan in. Although he was just a young man, since he rushed to the government office to ask for a meeting, he probably wasn't here to make trouble. Anyway, he was free now, so he might as well meet him.

The young Zhu Huan was quickly led in. Zhu Huan looked around while walking, not timid at all. Gu Yong saw from a distance through the window. Zhu Huan's calm attitude couldn't help but nodded secretly.

"Zhu Huan and Zhu Xiumu of Wu County paid a visit to the Lord."

"You're polite, please sit down!"

Gu Yong looked at Zhu Huan with a smile. He looked less than fifteen years old, with a tall figure and handsome face, and a clear and clear eyes. He was a handsome boy!

"Thank you sir!"

Zhu Huan knelt down very well, slowly tidied up his clothes, and then looked up at Gu Yong.

"Xu Mu is from Wu County? Why did he come to Danyang County?"

"Zhixia is indeed from Wuxian. During the rebellion in Wuxian, in order to avoid the chaos, he fled to Danyang with his fellow villagers. He originally settled in Ningguo. Recently, the rebels were in rebellion, and Xiaxia went to Wanling with his family!"

"So that's it, so what big thing should Xiu Mu report to you?"

Zhu Huan straightened his waist and looked at Gu Yong without any timidity and said, "Sir, General Zhe Xin broke the rebels outside the city a few days ago. I have also witnessed it with my own eyes that General Zhe Xin's mighty and defeated the rebels in one battle is really satisfying. However, after General Zhe Xin defeated the rebels, he did not take advantage of the situation to go south and completely quell the rebels and let the rebels escape. Wouldn't this be a great opportunity to miss out on the good opportunity!"

"Oh? Xiu Mu thought this was inappropriate? But Xiu Mu should go to General Zhe Xin to argue about this matter, why look for me?"

"Sir, it's not up to par with the reason! General Zhe Xin is a guest army. How can he not act privately without following the master's opinion? No matter what, the master is the head of Wanling City. Naturally, he should come to find the master!"

"Haha, that's right!" Gu Yong couldn't help but smile and praised: "However, if you don't pursue it immediately, it may make sense. What Xiu Mu knows may not be the whole of the matter, so you can't accurately judge this matter, so you will have this misunderstanding!"

Zhu Huan nodded: "What the lord said is very true. I dare not overestimate myself. It is wrong to say that my choice is wrong. Although the major thing I mentioned is related to this, it is not this!"

Gu Yong was stunned, and then asked with interest: "Oh? What's that?"

"The lord also lives in Jiangdong. You should know that there are two most troublesome things in Jiangdong, one is the clan and the other is Shanyue."

"Hehe clan and Shanyue! Why are clan and Shanyue two big troubles in Jiangdong?"

Zhu Huan smiled faintly, knowing that Gu Yong was going to take the exam, so he replied respectfully:

"Sir, the reason why the clan is said to be a big trouble is that the clan forces are inconsistent in Jiangdong and have completely controlled local affairs. This will cause the government to be out of orders and private rights to be flooded. If there is a country in the country, it is a big trouble. As for Shanyue, if we compete for land and profit with our people, we will never be able to get peace for a day, it will naturally be a big trouble!"

"Well said it! It's not easy to see these! Xiu Mu continued!"

"I hope, my lord, the clan affairs have gradually changed. After the clan has left the land, the control of the clan has declined, and the prestige of the government has been improved. In the long run, the clan's harm can be eliminated! However, the harm of Shanyue cannot be ignored, or even worse! Here I want to suggest to the adults that they should be sent south to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, otherwise these rebels colluded with Shanyue and the harm will become more and more intense!"

"Collecting into Shanyue? Does Xiu Mu think this is possible?"

"Of course, Shanyue had secretly communicated with clans from various places, otherwise how could it be destroyed? Now these clans are at a loss and cannot do anything to protect themselves. If this happens, Jiangdong will be difficult to be peaceful!"

Gu Yong looked at Zhu Huan's slightly anxious eyes and nodded with a smile: "What Xiu Mu said makes sense, but this is just a possibility. In fact, there is more than one way in front of the rebels, and they can also choose to surrender. The lord, benevolent, never meant to force it to death. Even from the beginning, the lord had the intention to attack them."

"Ah?!Why is this happening?"

"Haha, this is complicated to say. Simply put, it is the lord who believes that the root of the rebellion lies in the conflict between the two sides' expectations of interests. However, this conflict is caused by misunderstandings and poor communication. There is no need to use blood to finally resolve it. Now there are enough people who die, so we will try our best to solve the problem with political means. If someone is obsessed with it or even colludes with Shan Yue, it is seeking death!"

Zhu Huan was very shocked. He didn't expect that this matter was not what he thought. He didn't take the rebels seriously at all. Fang Zhiwen's mind and vision made Zhu Huan feel even more worried. However, this young man would not admit defeat like this.

"But sir, what if these people take the risk?"

"Haha, let's see, the most important thing for us now is to implement the new policy, so that the people can live and work in peace and make Jiangdong develop rapidly. As for Shanyue, they cannot become a climate. In some ways, the existence of Shanyue can actually allow us to implement the new policy more smoothly. Although the rebellion has caused serious harm to the people of Jiangdong, it cannot be denied that it is the rebellion that accelerates the smooth implementation of the new policy. For the people, it is easier to convince them with facts than with their mouths!"

"Sir, this is it?"

Gu Yong looked at Zhu Huan's surprised eyes and smiled and shook his head: "This rebellion was not something we tempted. It was probably Jiangbei, Jingzhou, and even the people in the south who were disturbing it. However, they happened to help us, otherwise it would take at least two or three years to implement the new policy!"

"So that's it. Therefore, the more violent the mountain is in the south, the more people will be sent to the north. The new policy will win more people, and the rebels will eventually lose all their supporters!"

“That’s exactly that!”

"Great! It's true! General Zhengbei is worthy of being the undefeated military god!"

"Haha, I think Xiu Mu is not bad either, but I am interested in joining the army and becoming an official! If Xiu Mu is interested, I can recommend it to Xiu Mu!"

"Huan is unsuccessful, thank you for your support!" (To be continued...)
