Chapter 1017 Chennan Farm
The disarming of more than 200,000 Western Army made the Gan Army quite nervous, but the Western Army had lost its fighting spirit and the disarming process was very smooth and there were no accidents.
On the side of the Xiangjiang River, the soldiers of the Western Army lined up to disarm and then received food under the surveillance of the Gan Army.
After a group of prisoners had finished their meal, Ganjun read out the policy, and then was escorted away by Ganjun. More than 200,000 people were detained in forty camps respectively.
Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Wenxiu and others pretended to be ordinary soldiers, mixed among the prisoners, holding a bowl of rice, squatting on the ground and eating.
At this time, a military training instructor stood in front of many Western Army prisoners and said loudly: "Are there any officers here? I will treat prisoners with great benefits, and officers can enjoy special benefits! Now that an officer can stand up, have good wine and meat?"
Several officers among the prisoners stood up, thinking that they were not doing evil in the country anyway.
Seeing this, the instructor said to the many prisoners: "Is there any? If you don't come out now, you will be found out in the future and you will be severely punished!"
After hearing this, several more people stood up. Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu looked at each other and continued to lower their heads to eat.
They are not that stupid, so they won't fall into the trap.
Seeing that no one had stood up, the instructor ordered the soldiers to take away the officers who stood up, and then said to the guards: "These prisoners are all taken to the Cennan Farm to be placed!"
What should be done with more than 200,000 prisoners is a difficult problem, that is, they cannot be detained forever, and they need to be incorporated, resettled, and released as soon as possible, but they cannot let go of the big fish.
At this time, Gan Chao first conducted a simple screening, then placed the prisoners on various farms, and sent cadres to conduct political review of these Western Army prisoners.
Some soldiers will be incorporated and three military towns that are good at fighting in the southwest mountains will be reorganized to deal with the remnants of the Western Army.
Of course, the officers hidden among the prisoners must also be identified and pulled out for transformation.
The Gan Army captured too many Western Army. Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Wenxiu and others hid among the prisoners, and the Gan Army did not discover it immediately.
At this time, Gao Huan had no time to carefully investigate the prisoners, but instead put his experience on the situation and took advantage of the situation to pursue and seize the territory of the Western Kingdom.
As some of the defeated Western Army fled in scattered areas, the news of the Western Army's defeat gradually spread in the Battle of Changsha. The southwest earthquake struck and the subsequent impact of the Changsha battle soon emerged.
Because the main force of the Western Army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties, Zhang Xianzhong was also unaware of his life and death, which made the Western Army unable to organize troops to confront the military.
At the same time, a food crisis broke out in the Western country, miners' uprisings occurred everywhere, and people rioted, causing chaos in the Western country, and the Western court was unable to solve the problem.
After the news of the defeat of the main force of the Western Army reached Jingzhou, the besieged Jingzhou defenders gave up their resistance and surrendered to the Gan Army, which allowed the Gan Army to recover Jingzhou, a major city in Huguang without any hesitation.
Gao Huan then ordered Li Pingyuan and Wang Jingde to lead the army to continue westward and attack into Sichuan.
At the same time, Yuan Zongdi led his troops to recover the major prefectures and counties in western Hunan. Hao Yaoqi and Xu Heihu led their troops south to recover southern Hunan, and chased the defeated troops into Guangxi, and attacked Ainengqi with Ding Qirui.
After the Gan army occupied the entire Huguang, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Wenxiu and others were forced by the Gan army soldiers to walk northward and headed to a farm on the bank of the Censhui River near Lizhou.
Lizhou is located south of Jingzhou in the north of Changde. Because it was once located on the front line, and to the east was Dongting 800 miles, floods often flooded, so the fields were abandoned by large areas.
Gao Huancai accepted the suggestion of Song Xianshu, gathered the captives of the Western Army to the Jingzhou section of the Yangtze River and around Dongting Lake to produce during farming and manage floods in the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake in leisure.
After all, the Yangtze River is dangerous in Jingjiang. Ganchao specializes in managing money, which consumes a lot of money. There are 200,000 prisoners, most of whom are young and strong, and they can save a lot of money by just working.
Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Wenxiu and others were assigned to the Cennan Farm. The farm had high walls, barbed wire on it, and a fierce yellow dog. He proudly raised his head and stared at the prisoners entering the farm like sentry.
After entering the farm, a secretary immediately separated the prisoners. The young and strong went to open land and farm, while the elderly and disabled raised chickens and fed pigs.
At this time, the secretary looked at the list and glanced at Liu Wenxiu. He saw that he was a strong young man, "I'm in good health, go to the first brigade to farm!"
When Liu Wenxiu heard this, he walked towards a large group of people, and Zhang Xianzhong followed him.
When the secretary saw this, he hurriedly shouted, "Old man! Stop, you can't stand it even if you are old enough to go to the production team. Go to the pigpen to feed the pigs!"
"Feed the pig!" Zhang Xianzhong was furious and roared in his heart, "I am the emperor of the Great Western world, please let me feed the pig!"
Seeing that he was dissatisfied, the secretary couldn't help but frown. The two soldiers behind him immediately held the wooden sticks in their hands tightly.
Seeing this, Liu Wenxiu hurriedly said, "This military master, this is my father. He wants to be with me, so please be content with me."
Liu Wenxiu grabbed Zhang Xianzhong and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Your Majesty, be patient!"
The secretary said annoyed: "Do you think this is your family? This is the labor reform farm of the court. Do you do whatever you want?"
Zhang Xianzhong had a dark face and tried to calm his anger, but could only surrender shamefully, "I am willing to feed the pigs, I accept the arrangement!"
The secretary said coldly: "Hmph! This is almost the same!"
Zhang Xianzhong then walked to the breeding group, and the secretary continued to reader list and grouped, but he always felt a cold look, looking at his back, and when he turned his head over, he found nothing.
The farm grouping was completed quickly, and the five thousand prisoners were divided into more than 30 production brigades and several breeding livestock groups.
Zhang Xianzhong was born into a poor family. He was smart and stubborn since childhood. He started a small business with his father and made a living by selling red dates. He also suffered a lot.
However, after becoming the leader of the peasant, Zhang Xianzhong began to eat and drink without worries. After becoming the Emperor of the West, he lived in a palace and ate the delicacies of mountains and seas. He had not experienced the hardships of the people for many years.
After a few days, Zhang Xianzhong repaired pig pens, cut pig grass, and cooked pig food. The most disgusting thing was that he had to clean the pig pens and deal with pig manure, which made Zhang Xianzhong unbearable.
"Your Majesty, how are you doing recently?" During dinner in the evening, Liu Wenxiu sat next to Zhang Xianzhong and smelled a stinky pig manure and almost vomited.
Zhang Xianzhong said in a dark face: "Wenxiu, wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. When I was able to uprising and overthrow the Ming Dynasty, I can now uprising and overthrow the Gan Dynasty. Gao Huan is so unpopular, I am planning to launch an uprising here!"
Liu Wenxiu was shocked when he heard this. In the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters were caused by the people. Now, there is no such problem in the court and there is no basis for an uprising.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I have to make a long-term plan for this matter!" Liu Wenxiu said: "I've been in the production brigade for several days. Although I work hard every day, I found that what we do is to open up land and farm, build water conservancy, and build dams and flood control areas. They are all good things that benefit the country and the people. But in recent years, we only know how to compete for hegemony, not solve problems for the people, and have separated from the masses. I think I already know the reason for our failure!"
Zhang Xianzhong raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but feel heartbroken, knowing that Liu Wenxiu must have been listening to the secretary's lecture. "Wenxiu, don't be brainwashed by the brigade secretary!"
...
Chengdu, the residence of Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin.
When Zhang Xianzhong went to war, he asked the crown prince Zhang Jianxiong to supervise the country and Wang Zhaolin to assist in the administration.
In recent days, food shortages in Sichuan have become increasingly serious, and uprisings have broken out in various places. However, Zhang Xianzhong took away the main force of the Western Army, leaving only a small number of troops in Chengdu. Wang Zhaolin was short of troops and was unable to quell the rebellion, so he could only watch the rebels in various places become bigger.
This made Wang Zhaolin very worried. He couldn't sleep all night, but there was nothing he could do.
At the third update, the city was pitch black, and only patrolling soldiers were patrolling the city walls and the main streets.
Because the prices of food in the city soared and the people were unstable, strict curfews were imposed in the city to prevent accidents.
At this time, the street was silent, and a group of cavalry galloped past the street. The sound of horse hooves woke up the people on both sides, causing people to speculate about what had happened.
The cavalry ran to the prime minister's mansion, then turned over and dismounted, and reported urgently, "If there is an urgent military situation, I need to present the prime minister!"
At the third update, most of the people in Chengdu were already asleep, but the Prime Minister of the West, Wang Zhaolin, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the Chengdu night sky in the middle of the night.
"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!" Suddenly a voice sounded, interrupting his thoughts.
Wang Zhaolin frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
"Huguang urgent military information!" The subordinates outside the house reported urgently.
Wang Zhaolin's heart was terrified. He opened the door himself. When he saw the military newspaper in his subordinates, he snatched it. He looked at it with the candlelight in the house. He was like a lightning strike, and he leaned back straight.
"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!" Seeing this, his subordinates were full of shock. They wanted to help him but were one step later. Wang Zhaolin had already fallen to the ground.
