Chapter 470
A few days later, just after the New Year, boats shuttled on the Yangtze River, and three thousand left soldiers quietly crossed the Yangtze River.

Zhang Yingxiang rode a war horse, and the guards behind him held the honor guard of the commander in chief, and the men and horses rushed to Hanchuan County in a mighty manner.

The reason why Hanchuan County was chosen is that Gao Yihuan did not have many soldiers and horses stationed here, and the other was that there was a noble family in the city. He contacted Huang Shu and expressed his dissatisfaction with Gao Yihuan's policies in Huguang, and hoped that the imperial court would send Gao Yihuan to the county. Drive out of Huguang.

After Gao Yihuan took control of most of Hubei, many gentry in Hubei said that he was very dissatisfied with Gao Yihuan's tax law, which made the soldiers fat and the people full and the scholars hungry.

It is not an easy task for a vested interest class to give up the interests it has obtained.

This process is often accompanied by killings and wars, without bloodshed, it is basically difficult to achieve the purpose of redistribution of benefits.

Human nature always has a selfish side. In an ideal society, people who have the vast majority of resources and wealth should take on more responsibilities, but often these people will not only not take on more responsibilities, but will My own responsibility is passed on to the ordinary poor, and it will become more and more serious until the bottom-level riots can't continue.

In the process of riots and the accumulation of grievances at the bottom, those with a little foresight may learn to make concessions, learn to compromise, and give up part of the benefits to make social improvements successful. It was bloody.

Gao Yihuan was in Huguang, clearing up the land and acres, so that the gentry and powerful could not evade taxes, and lowered the rent so that they could not charge high rents, which made some people feel that their interests were damaged and could not accept it, but if they had nothing to eat, that would be true. It's bullshit.

These people are dissatisfied with Gao Yihuan and want to subvert Gao Yihuan just because they get less than before.

Earlier, Gao Yihuan asked Chen Mingxia to deal with a group of people, causing some farsighted gentry to join Gao Yihuan.

They saw the potential of Wei Wujun and Gao Yihuan's ability, so giving up a little land tax, paying taxes honestly, and giving up part of the benefits in exchange for the opportunity to develop under Gao Yihuan's command is all a political speculation, so why not? ?

However, there are still some people who only see the benefits in front of them, see the reduction of land rent, and hold a grudge against Gao Yihuan. They only surrender on the surface, but they are actually nostalgic for Daming in their hearts, and they are ready to fight back at any time.

At this time, Zhang Yingxiang led 3000 men and horses to Hanchuan County. The county had received the news early, and [-] soldiers hurriedly reported to Xiangyang and closed the city gate.

At this time, Zhang Yingxiang and others came to the city on horseback, looked contemptuously at the top of the city, turned their heads and said: "Go and tell the people in the city to open the city gate quickly, and say that I want to go in and set up defenses."

The county magistrate on the top of the city, standing on the tower, saw the thousands of Ming soldiers suddenly killed outside the city, each with crooked armor, the team was scattered, the soldiers dragged their guns and knives, their faces were full of arrogance, they did not look like an army, It was more like a bandit, which immediately made the magistrate's forehead sweat.

The elite of the Wei Wu army fought in Henan, with 3 troops in Huguang. They had to defend Xiangyang and Jingzhou, and they had to guard against the western army from Sichuan. There are only some new recruits and the strong people in the county stationed in the garrison.

Soon, [-] left troops were deployed below the city. A guerrilla left soldier rushed to the city and said arrogantly, "Open the city gate quickly, our Zongbing Zhang is here to protect you."

The magistrate looked at the appearance of this army and knew that it was the left army on the other side crossing the river, so he dared not let them enter the city.

"This general, Hanchuan County is Han Guogong's defense area, which is garrisoned by Wei Wujun. General, it is better to station outside the city temporarily, so as not to be blamed by Han Guogong!"

Compared with Wei Wujun, Zuojun is not like an army, but more like bandits.If the left army is allowed to enter the city, the people in the city will definitely suffer.

The guerrillas of the Zuo army under the city immediately became angry when they heard this, "You motherfucker! Wei Wujun can't stand it in the south of Henan. Our Zhang Zongbing worked hard to cross the river and came to protect you. Let us freeze in the wild? Damn you, your mother’s heart will be eaten by dogs? Believe it or not, our commander-in-chief will send troops to take down your small county!"

The left army guerrilla was rampant, and Sun Zhixian's forehead was sweating, and the county was completely unable to resist the attack of the left army.

Zhang Yingxiang was riding on the horse, closing his eyes and resting his mind, but his men and horses were already clamoring, clamoring to rush into the city.

Sun Zhi County was at a loss. After all, the Zuo Army was an official army, and they wanted to enter the city in the name of assisting in defense.

When Sunzhi County didn't know what to do, a group of people suddenly came on the streets of the city, and the leader was Wang Jinshi, a well-known gentry in the county.

He is the leader of the gentry in Hanchuan County, and his family has thousands of acres of fertile land. He doesn't pay attention to the magistrate at all, even the magistrate has to be polite to him.

In the past, he had to nod his head to approve anything in Hanchuan County, otherwise the county magistrate's order would not work.

However, since Gao Yihuan took control of Hanchuan County, Wang Jinshi's life has become more difficult. Not to mention that the land under his name must pay taxes, and even the rent is not allowed to be charged more, which makes Wang Jinshi unhappy.

The land of the landlord's family is not created out of thin air. If you think the rent is high, you don't have to plant it. Restricting the rent is a bit too much.

Because of dissatisfaction in his heart, Wang Jinshi visited Beifu Fu Shangrui frequently some time ago, but was inexplicably implicated in the "Tongxi Major Case".

After experiencing this incident, Wang Jinshi saw clearly that Gao Jingzhong was a hooligan and helpless, so he kept actively contacting Ming Dynasty officials he knew secretly, hoping that the officials and soldiers would fight back.

Hearing that thousands of officers and troops had arrived in Hanchuan County, Wang Jinshi's face immediately glowed. He changed his usual low-key style, led dozens of guards, and called the respectable squires in the upper city to come to the tower.

"Sun Zhi County, it's so cold, why don't you open the city gate and welcome the officers and soldiers in?" Wang Jinshi led a group of people up the city wall, took a look outside the city, and then said with a straight face.

County magistrate Sun knew from his tone that things were not good. If there were three thousand left soldiers outside the city and the county was not united, there would be internal and external troubles.

"Everyone has heard about the military discipline of the Zuo Army. Once they enter the city, the people will definitely suffer. Besides, I can't explain it to the Korean bus!" County Magistrate Sun said with a bitter face.

Wang Jinshi showed contempt on his face, "What is the county magistrate going to do, let the left army attack the city and kill all the people?"

The gentry who came with them immediately changed their expressions when they heard this, "County magistrate, the Zuo army has a bad reputation, but it is an official army after all. Let's give what we should give and feed them well. How are you doing?"

County Magistrate Sun's face was pale when he heard the words. Seeing his expression, Wang Jinshi smashed his cane to the ground and said angrily, "County Magistrate, Zuozhen's military discipline is a bit poor, but there is no army with good military discipline now. Is Wei Wujun Disturbing the people, but a soft knife hurts more, and the tax law is more ruthless than directly robbing the gentry. In the current situation, it is better for us to spend money to avoid disasters than to annoy the left army."

As soon as he said that, he turned around and greeted: "Everyone listen to the old man, let's open the city gate and welcome the officers and soldiers to enter the city."

Dozens of guardians of the Wang family wanted to open the gate upon hearing the words. Seeing that the people defending the city were about to clash with them, County Magistrate Sun said helplessly: "Then open the gate, but the army should not enter the city. Please, Mr. Zhang Soldiers can enter the city."

The gates of the city creaked open, and the country gentry gates stood on both sides of the street to greet them. Wang Jinshi sold some firecrackers out of his own pocket and exploded them on the streets to welcome the Zuo army into the city.

Zhang Yingxiang rode on a horse, surrounded by guards, and entered the city gate. He kept clasping his hands left and right, "Fathers and elders, I, Zhang Yingxiang, will protect your safety from now on!"

Wang Jinshi was moved, and praised again and again, "Looking south to Master Wang for another year, Master Wang has finally crossed the river!"

The county magistrate Sun pretended to be brave and asked, "Mr. Zhang, South Korea is just fighting against the Eastern Captives in Henan. Mr. Zhang said that he wants to help defend. Do you want to rush to the south of Henan for reinforcements?"

Seeing his official uniform, Zhang Yingxiang knew that he was the magistrate of the county, he said hehe: "There is Han Gong in front of him, and I will sweep the formation for Han Gong, so it is better to defend Huguang and protect the people of Huguang!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yingxiang waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Take over the city defense!"

Three thousand left soldiers immediately rushed in, and entered the county in a chaotic manner~
