Chapter six hundred and seventieth
The morning sun shone with thousands of rays of rays through the mist. The crystal dewdrops in the green grass rolled to the ground and penetrated into the dry soil. The colorful birds were parked on the lonely trunks, and their gurgling eyes stared at the smoke and dust rising in the distance.
The black battle flag spread out towards the rising sun, and the sword and shield totems on the military flag were bathing in it and shining brightly. The soldiers of Nanchuan, covered with black armor, were thrusting forward with their heads raised and their chests raised. They were lined up in a row of five, forming a black column that was beyond the limit, cold and vast.
The uniform steps made a dull sound, and the friction of the iron armor and iron tools further highlighted their strict military discipline. This was an iron-blooded tiger and wolf army moving forward in silence. Their monstrous fighting spirit pierced the sky and made people frightened.
The villagers next to the road hid far away in their homes, secretly looking at this unique army through the gaps in the door. Their eyes were full of curiosity, and there was no chaos and noise in the past. The silent atmosphere made the people feel very uncomfortable.
The well-equipped Nanchuan soldiers embarked on the land of Qinghe Province and began their new journey. They came to save the people of Qinghe Province. In the dark years of the past, they experienced wars and sufferings. From now on, they will enjoy a peaceful life like the rest of the people in the Nanchuan Army-controlled area and will no longer be invaded by bandits.
Under the command of the officers, the Nanchuan soldiers wearing sword and shield badges on their chests posted Anmin's notices all over the villages and towns passing by, and told the people of Qinghe Province the news of the arrival of the Nanchuan Army. The Nanchuan officials who followed the Nanchuan Army also entered various regions and announced that the areas captured by the Nanchuan Army were officially included in the control of the Nanchuan Army.
In order to form an actual occupation of Qinghe Province, Lin Chuan specially selected more than 500 officials at all levels to act with the Nanchuan Army. Every time he seized a town from the Red Turban Army, he actually controlled one town and appointed officials to take jurisdiction to achieve actual control.
These officials carefully selected by Lin Chuan were all loyal to the Nanchuan Army. After years of experience and polishing, they were very pragmatic. After being assigned a new occupied area, they immediately began to register the people of various villages and towns, form local guards, and faithfully implement the entire system of the Nanchuan Army.
The officials in Nanchuan who have just arrived in various places do not collect taxes or pay food, but only register to appease the people, gradually dispelling the resistance of the local people. They walked out of their hiding places and returned to their homes. The local situation gradually stabilized.
A series of moderate practices of the Nanchuan Army in the occupied areas spread rapidly. The people who were exploited and plundered under the rule of the Red Turban Army were full of doubts when they heard that the Nanchuan Army did not plunder and did not pay food, but they were full of expectations for the arrival of the Nanchuan Army.
In many Red Turban Army controlled areas, the most common topic the people talk about is the Nanchuan Army, discussing the strict military discipline of the Nanchuan Army and the policies that the officials of the Nanchuan Army had dreamed of, but these are just hearsays, and they only dare to discuss secretly in private. They were full of expectations and longing for the Nanchuan Army.
The intelligence personnel of the Nanchuan Military Intelligence Department located in Qinghe Province also took action immediately. They were in the enemy-occupied areas all year round and naturally knew what the local people were looking forward to most, so they became active in villages, towns, taverns, and places with a lot of people, spreading the goodness of the Nanchuan Army.
The entire Qinghe Province is like a pile of dry firewood that has been exposed to the sun for a long time. It only takes a little bit of Mars to burn quickly. The local red scarf soldiers and officials also felt this change that scares them.
Originally, the Red Turban Soldier regarded himself as the local master and plundered the people's money, food and property without restraint. Facing the Red Turban Soldiers holding swords, the people did not dare to resist and could only serve them obediently. However, there have been changes in recent days. Although the people still dared not resist, the look they looked at the Red Turban Soldiers with a little hatred and murderous aura, which made the Red Turban Soldiers very uneasy.
Although they were holding swords in their hands, when they walked on the street and faced the cold gazes that came from all around, they couldn't help but want to escape. They were now plundering and even dared not act alone, and they did not dare to go alone in the places where the people gathered, for fear that they would not come back if they went.
Although the Red Turban soldiers in many areas have heard that the Nanchuan army has fought, after all, Qinghe Province has a wide area and cannot fight for a while, but all kinds of strange things have happened one after another.
A red scarf soldier who was vigilant was inexplicably wiped off his neck. In order to avoid panic, the officers announced that he had fallen to death by walking. A few days later, several red scarf soldiers who went out to collect food were attacked by wild animals, and their bodies remained. Then some garrisons drank and died of drunkenness. All kinds of strange things were happening, and the local red scarf soldiers were panicked.
Although Liu Wencai, the leader of the Red Turban Army, proclaimed himself emperor in the Kare Province and established the so-called Red Turban Dynasty, the Red Turban soldiers in the Qinghe Province felt that their days were getting harder and harder, as if all kinds of things had changed overnight, and they could not say what had changed.
The Red Turban soldiers became more and more panicked and depressed. The officials and officers were hiding in the houses of guards, discussing their own way out. The scattered soldiers, who were unattended, secretly took off their military uniforms and took off their Red Turban soldiers. They felt danger and uneasiness.
Although the Nanchuan Army had not arrived yet, the strong pressure had forced the Red Turban Army of Qinghe Province to start to be in chaos. Originally, the Qinghe Province was under the jurisdiction of Wutiance, the Northern King of the Red Turban Army, but with his defeat, he went to the Black Iron Fortress to ask for help and never came back, causing panic among the local Red Turban soldiers.
Although Liu Wencai, the leader of the Red Turban Army, was brothers and brothers with Wu Tiance, he was always guarding against Wu Tiance. Now that Wu Tiance returns to the Black Iron Fortress, he will naturally not give him a chance to make a comeback. He took advantage of his chance to become emperor and kept Wu Tiance by his side. Wu Tiance has completely lost power.
Liu Wencai appointed a confidant to arrive in Qinghe Province to manage the military and political affairs of Qinghe Province. However, most of the Qinghe Province were originally Wutiance's troops. Those who were abolished were abolished and those who were dismissed were dismissed. The Red Turban Army of Qinghe Province had actually begun civil strife.
The Red Turban Army was originally not as elite as the Nanchuan Army. Now, with the disagreement of soldiers and generals in Qinghe Province, the Nanchuan Army is as powerful as entering a deserted land. Sometimes when he heard the Nanchuan Army coming, the Red Turban Army guarding the town fled in a hurry. In fact, the Nanchuan Army is still hundreds of miles away, so after arriving, they received almost unprepared towns.
