For a while, under the city of Chenxian, the situation is changing rapidly, and a fierce battle is about to begin.
Originally, the main general under the city wanted to take advantage of the intelligence error of the Qi army to take the opportunity to infiltrate the city and seize the city.
It's just that he didn't expect that Taishou Hu Tai would see through his plan, resist to the death, and step up the deployment of defense.
At this moment, the main general has lost the last patience and has decided to launch a final attack.
"Taiping soldiers, you are all good sons of heaven, attack the city, kill" Suddenly, under the attack of the Taiping general, the Taiping sergeant resolutely launched a fierce attack and attacked Chenxian.
Yes, this army dressed in civilian clothing is the Taiping army that attacked Chenxian County.
As for the Taiping general, it is Peng Yue, a famous general in the early Han Dynasty, who was born randomly.
This ancestor, known as guerrilla warfare in later generations, personally planned this invasion of the Taiping army.
As for the surprise attack on Chenxian, it was also written by Peng Yue, who had already expected it when he persuaded Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East.
As long as the Qi army heard of the Taiping invasion, it would definitely mobilize troops from Chenxian County to help.
Peng Yue is worthy of being a famous general, and he can be regarded as having a thorough understanding of Gao Qi's thoughts, which is why he is now in Chenxian County.
"The Qi army in the city listened, this general is the governor of the Eastern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, named Peng Yue."
"Now the king of the east has led a large army to the city and take Lingnan directly, not only that, but the king of heaven has also led the heavenly army to come."
"Acquaintances of the Qi army soldiers quickly abandon the city and surrender, as long as you don't resist, wherever I go in the kingdom of heaven, it will be a happy land."
For a while, due to the revelation of the lie, Peng Yue also simply had a direct showdown, trying to scare back the enemy with an overwhelming superiority in troops.
However, the effect of this move is also obvious, except for the two thousand sergeants of the regular standing army on weekdays.
Whether it is the county soldiers who are in charge of law and order on a daily basis, or the people who are drafted, their emotions have been affected.
In fact, due to its proximity to Lingnan, Chenxian County still heard of the scorched earth policy implemented by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in China "Yes, yes, the last time I went to Lingnan to do business, I saw what the Kingdom of Heaven did."
"The Taiping army carried out a scorched earth policy in its territory, resolutely suppressed the landlords and gentry, nationalized all land, and then promulgated it to our poor people."
"What Brother Li said is reasonable, in the realm of heaven, it is indeed a happy life for our poor people."
Suddenly, the people who were recruited were encouraged by Peng Yue's words, and their emotions were mobilized.
Taishou Hu Tai suddenly felt a thorny feeling, knowing that if the people in the city were bewitched by the Taiping army and a riot broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After thinking for a long time, Hu Taiqi's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, drew his sword and stood on top of the city tower, roaring; "Fellow villagers and elders, do you really want to betray Daqi and return to the Taiping Rebellion?"
"It's true, my Daqi garrison in Chenxian County at this time is weak, and it may indeed be weaker than the rebels outside the city."
"All the villagers are afraid, these officials can understand, people, there are times when they are afraid."
"But this official wants to warn you a little, you have to make a good choice, if you don't choose well this time, after this battle, whether you will be dealt with by the law of Daqi, that is not for this official to have the final say."
For a while, Taishou Hu Tai directly moved out of the laws of the Qi State, and there was one of them, once anyone who participated in the rebellion was found, his whole family would be named a traitor, and he would be sent into slavery, and he would never be a man This method of joint sitting was established by Gao Qi and Bao Zheng after layers of deliberation, and after Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling and other important ministers were combined.
The reason why the punishment is so harsh is also a major move by Gao Qi.
Because Gao Qi wanted to use harsh criminal laws to put an end to the treason of the people and officials under his rule.
Indeed, with Taishou Hutai's reminder, the minds of many people who were already active began to gradually extinguish.
The main thing is that many people are shocked by the harmfulness of this rebellion's cool method, and they don't dare to move.
After all, it is very easy to cooperate with the Taiping army and seize Chenxian County.
I am afraid that if the Taiping army can't resist the subsequent retaliation of the Qi army and is defeated, then it will not be these people who have rebelled Immediately, Taishou Hu Tai changed his kind expression as if he was in a different world, and said, "Fellow villagers, but you don't have to worry. ” "As we all know, since the founding of the King of Qi, all the people under his rule have had a shortage of food."
"Take our Chenxian County as an example, where do you still have surplus food and families with children still send their children to county middle schools to study."
"It can be seen that living under the rule of King Qi is not oppressed, you have to think about the consequences clearly" "If you get through the difficulties with Daqi this time, and then get a richer reward from Daqi, otherwise, just wait to accept the fiercest anger of the King of Qi."
For a time, Taishou Hu Tai also had something extraordinary, and his words could be described as extremely skillful, which could be described as a combination of grace and power, rigidity and softness.
After thinking about it carefully, in the end, many people still fell silent, and they all chose to support Qi by default.
Occasionally, there are some ill-intentioned people, but they don't dare to show it In fact, the reason why these people were bewitched by Peng Yue's words was, in the final analysis, influenced by the scorched earth policy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
After all, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was governed by religion, and its main body was ordinary people, and its policies were all beneficial to the people.
Almost in the Lingnan area, they are suppressing the landlords and gentry and safeguarding the interests of the people.
Because, where did the soldiers of the Taiping Army come from, they were wantonly coercing the people.
But the path taken by Gao Qi is completely different, Gao Qi knows that in order to truly build the country and create the foundation of all nations.
It can't take the extreme road of the Taiping Army, whether it's a family or a landlord and a wealthy family, they can't be suppressed all at once.
In this way, it will only accelerate its self-destruction, and the gains outweigh the losses Gao Qi's countermeasure was to suppress the clans and balance the power of the landlords and gentry.
The big family, to put it bluntly, is a huge and prominent force formed in the court for generations as officials.

This was the case with the Guanlong nobility, the core area occupied by Li Tang.
Due to the extremely heavy voice of the family in the court, over time, a situation will be formed in which the royal power is sidelined and the family interferes in the government affairs.
This is the situation of the dominance of the family, as for the landlords and squires, because they do not have much say in the court, they do not pose the slightest threat to the royal power.
However, if the landlords and gentry are not suppressed, once their local power is stabilized, they will be completely entrenched and intricate, and they will become the real local overlords.
Just like in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a situation where the landlords and gentry had a huge power, although they could not threaten the imperial power, but they also made it impossible to convey the decrees of the court.
This is because, as long as the decree of the court is transmitted to the local officials, the county officials want to display their ambitions, and when they show their strengths, they will be interfered with by the landlords and gentry, resulting in the inability to carry it out.
It is precisely because whether it is a landlord, a squire or a family, it is not good for the country Therefore, after thinking and meditating, Gao Qi will use the family and landlords to restrain each other when suppressing the family and the landlord.
Gao Qi is convinced that as long as the royal family can play this balance well, then the national fortunes of Daqi will still be as stable as ever Because, as long as this is the case, neither the family can threaten the imperial power, nor can the landlords threaten the locality.
After all, the magistrates at the local county level are all the talents of the families employed.
Peng Yue couldn't help but see that the people who were originally in turmoil in the city were silent at this time under the words of Taishou Hu Tai.
For a while, Peng Yue sighed bitterly again and again, and said: "Alas, a big country is a big country, and the governors of a county are all such talented people." ” "This invasion of my heavenly kingdom, the odds of victory are slim."
At this moment, when Peng Yue found out that every county in Qi Country had such talents, he couldn't help but secretly think about it, and he was hardly optimistic about his own chances of winning.
After all, the talent base of the Qi State was so strong that it wanted to shake its rule with a peasant army composed of a group of commoners Originally, Peng Yue also wanted to use his own strength to try to shake the huge Great Qi Empire, but now the general affairs have dispelled his belief.
However, Peng Yue will certainly not give up on the matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, and will do the final fight.
Immediately after, Peng Yue slowly retreated, raised his sword, and shouted: "All departments listen to the order and attack the city in turn." ” "Take the city, take the city" Immediately, in an instant, the generals of the Taiping Army couldn't help but encourage the sergeants under their command, and immediately launched an attack.
Suddenly, the situation was surging, and a large number of Taiping soldiers rushed towards the city.
Its cloud echelons, crossbowmen, and sword and shield soldiers attacked the city wall in the same batch Since the Taiping army was planning a surprise attack, in order to save time, they only traveled lightly and quickly, but did not carry large offensive equipment.
Therefore, based on the fact that large siege equipment such as well rails and rushing vehicles were not prepared, it was obvious that the Taiping army would fight very fiercely in this battle.
Immediately, Hu Tai also immediately began to give orders, and all the troops were ready to defend themselves.
As for the rest of the people, under Hu Tai's instructions, they began to transport the materials to defend the city in an orderly manner.
For a while, the head of the city was also busy, blocking the Taiping soldiers who were besieging the city.
It's just that although the Taiping soldiers are strong and the soldiers are strong, Chenxian is a strong city.
In the past, Yue Fei used Chenxian to resist Feng Yunshan's onslaught for dozens of days, and now, Chenxian County has been strengthened, and its strength is extraordinary.
Moreover, in addition to the fact that the Taiping army lacks siege equipment to attack the city, its difficulty cannot help but increase by several points.
For a time, under Peng Yue's command at all levels, the fierce offensive and defensive battles also officially began.
However, although the difficulty of its siege has increased greatly, the strength of the Qi army is too small, and it is under the continuous fierce battles.
Chenxian County is still precarious, and it seems that it may fall at any time.
The situation has reached a situation that affects the whole body, and the great chaos at the end of Sui is called :
