When the orders of Henan Governor Tian Wenjing were delivered to the local area, the gentry expressed the same attitude without much reading, "If you don't sell it, even if it's rotten in the warehouse, we won't sell it to Tian Wenjing!"

Tian Wenjing is almost like this in Henan, and many people hate him to the core. Even those Henan gentry who have never had any contact with Tian Wenjing were influenced by this trend.

In fact, the gentry this time was a bit unfair to Tian Wenjing. The nominal governors were superior to the general, but in fact the governors were not willing to interfere in the military. Especially when two former governors died in Shandong, Tian Wenjing was in his sixties and knew that he could not make any achievements in military affairs.

Tian Wenjing completely handed over the battle to the general of Henan Town. The only thing he was involved in was that he performed his duties as a civil servant and sent out the official documents of purchasing grain. This was really not that Tian Wenjing meddled with other people's business. By the Qing Dynasty, any rebellion had been thoroughly studied. The army could buy weapons and hoard food at will, which was no different from asking the army to rebel.

The attitude of the landlords and gentry significantly slowed down the speed of raising grain and grass. Tian Wenjing was focusing on the promotion of ditches and acres, and he didn't care about this at all. The efficiency of preparing grain was obviously not improved.

Compared with Henan's internal friction, Jiangsu is just a normal drag, and overall it is normal. However, the military's difficulties in action are all kinds of preparations, and there are not so many problems when it comes to action.

According to the previous strategy, the plan to eliminate the destruction of the troops was a fatal plan. The IQ of the people in the Ministry of War was fine, and it was easy to judge that Huo Chong was a gangster. However, most of the ordinary gangsters were occupying the mountains and becoming kings. Huo Chong's influence range was too large and there were too many people bewitched by him, which showed that Huo Chong was walking around.

In view of Huo Chong's characteristics of land-based households, the Qing army's plan was to first move along the canal and gather in the Jinan area. Then, they advanced eastward and rely on the transportation of the Daqing River and Xiaoqing River, the official army went south to break through Zichuan, Linzi and other counties controlled by Huo Chong until Huo Chong was completely solved.

Tian Wenjing knew very well that since the Fengqiu test case, his reputation among the gentry has become completely bad. His reputation among the gentry means that his reputation among the people has also become bad.

Such wars are fierce and dangerous. If the official army is defeated, Tian Wenjing will be criticized for any extraordinary actions. Especially now that Tian Wenjing has offended the gentry of Henan and offended a large number of officials. At this time, his life and reputation are entirely dependent on Emperor Yongzheng.

To put it nicely, Tian Wenjing is now a lonely minister. To put it badly, Tian Wenjing is now a lackey who can only run to the dark side. Whether it is dead or alive is all in the emperor's mind.

Yongzheng's request for Tian Wenjing has nothing to do with fighting. The emperor now only needs one thing, that is, to carry out the execution of the stakes in the acres.

Therefore, the Henan government army did act according to the imperial subordinates, but the speed was slower than the imperial court thought.

The Ministry of War believes that the Henan government troops will arrive in Jinan at the end of June, but only a part of the vanguard troops arrived in the Jinan area at the end of June. It is expected that the brigade will not be assembled until the end of July.

Huo Chong knew that marching in ancient times was not convenient, and he was surprised by the actions of the official army. At the headquarters meeting, Huo Chong ordered the troops to scatter to the main grain-producing areas of the main base areas to help the people participating in the Fu Planting Platform to rush to harvest.

This order scared a group of more imaginative subordinates. Qian Qing kept his mouth tight and said nothing, Lei Hu jumped out to express his objection, "Sir, the government army is about to arrive. We will divide the troops again. If the government army suddenly comes, what should we do?"

"Lei Hu, how many people are really following our orders now?" Huo Chong asked.

"Well, it's more than 4,000." Lei Hu replied. Although he joined late, Lei Hu gained special trust and has become a member of the core circle.

Huo Chong didn't know whether to praise the number of people or the number of people. In the end, Huo Chong simply refused to comment and continued to ask: "There are 20,000 people in the official army. The 4,000 people are not enough. At least 10,000 people can be wiped out. Where can the remaining 6,000 people be found?"

Lei Hu didn't expect Huo Chongxin to be so big that he was going to get another 6,000 people. He felt that this was basically impossible, so he said, "Sir, I thought I could pull some people."

"Of course we have to recruit people, but our equipment is very valuable and is better than the Qing Dynasty. We can just pull some people at a loss. What should we do if they run away with their equipment?"

"Then take strict supervision!"

Huo Chong shook his head slightly, "What you need to marching and fighting is to be obedient to your subordinates. Being strict in charge means that everyone has to put their strength above their own team. Instead of doing this, it is better to take advantage of helping others to harvest and select people from those who know the truth."

Lei Hu couldn't understand this. But Lei Hu was just a newcomer after all, and he didn't have time to get close to the locals. Since Huo Chong, a Shandong native, said this, Lei Hu, as a Hebei native, could not directly refute it. After all, this matter completely exceeded Lei Hu's cognition.

Seeing that no one else objected, Qian Qing asked: "Sir, how long does it take to train for 6,000 new people to be summoned?"

"It's enough to follow the brigade and transport supplies. I don't expect them to charge forward. Besides, you have to see how the army is acting like this. After all, war is a matter for both sides."

Lei Hu and other people from various counties were assigned tasks. The most important thing was naturally to help the people on Zhongfu platform harvest food quickly, and the second was to ask everyone to come out to help Huo Chong.

After rushing back to Mouping County, Lei Hu told the superiors about his meaning at the meeting and also came up with the superiors' conclusion of the meeting.

"Don't shout this time, but do practical things to tell the truth. All personnel must participate in the harvesting, especially provide agricultural tools such as sickles for harvesting. Training how to sharpen sickles and train the operation of transportation tools..."

Although Lei Hu had received training, he knew that these requirements were not nonsense, but were really trained. Even if he knew that doing this made sense, he felt uncomfortable. The government troops were all in front of him and could launch an attack at any time. He was busy in the farmland with his men. When he returned to Huo Chong, even if there was one more person, he would have more strength.

But Lei Hu is not the only one who decides in Mouping County. Lei Hu has the power granted by his authority, but this does not mean that Lei Hu can do whatever he wants. If Lei Hu doesn't obey the order, someone will immediately oppose him.

Even though he provided agricultural tools and technical services, the work was still very hard. However, Lei Hu did not expect that Huo Chong not only did not concentrate on fighting, but instead sent a batch of gloves to the ground as agreed.

Lei Hu thought the gloves made of leather and cloth were very strange to use, but the people were very skilled in using this guy. It seemed that they had not used it for the first time, but had been using it for a long time, at least for a long time.
