From Hangzhou to the north along the Jiangnan River Canal, Zhang Chao led 30,000 troops first.
Along the way, wherever Zhang Chao's banner went, the cities along the road were all attached.
Jiaxing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Qua, Runzhou.
Mid-June.
Zhang Chao led his troops to the city of Runzhou.
At this time, Runzhou was on the Zhenjiang side of the later generations, and Nanjing in the later generations was called Jiangning at this time, which was in the west.
Because the Sui destroyed Jinling, and the Jiangnan Canal started with Runzhou, Runzhou was more prosperous than Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Dynasties, during the Sui and Tang dynasties.
In the torrential rain, Zhang Chao led the army into the city by boat from the Water Gate.
Runzhou did not resist and opened the door to greet him.
Like the cities along the way, the soldiers have no heart to resist and fight, and the officials are also wavering, but the former parliamentarians and representatives of the chamber of commerce in the city, these emerging classes in the cities south of the Yangtze River, are the firm leaders of the party.
They had long been looking forward to Zhang Chao's coming north, and as soon as they heard the news that Zhang Chao's army was going north, they immediately began to be active, plotting in various secrets, admonishing officials, and so on.
Zhang Chao entered the city.
Runzhou's household registration roster, government soldier roster, government treasury money and grain roster and other important things were all sent to Zhang Chao.
The materials in the warehouses were also sealed and waited for Zhang Chao's soldiers to receive them.
Even order in the city is well maintained.
Scratch someone's back.
After entering the city, Zhang Chao also announced several orders as soon as possible.
For example, the officials all remained in their positions for the time being, and the councillors were reinstated and given the powers and responsibilities of the current councils of the imperial court.
Representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, also respected, asked them about their needs.
As for the few government soldiers in Runzhou, their identities remain unchanged for the time being.
Zhang Chao even opened the treasury and gave rewards to these officials, parliamentarians, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, and soldiers.
The number is not much, but this attitude reassures everyone in Runzhou.
Immediately after Zhang Chao announced that three days later, the four major banks will be established and open in Runzhou, and new banknotes will be issued at that time, and the gold coupons in the hands of the people can be exchanged for new banknotes.
Many of the chaotic policies promulgated by the imperial court this year have been abolished.
In general, it is to return to the state before the fourteenth year of Zhenguan.
Everything went so smoothly.
It's just that the sky doesn't seem to be a little beautiful, and it has been raining since the departure from Hangzhou.
In the blink of an eye, it rained for half a month, and the Jiangnan River was already full of water.
At this time, I entered Runzhou, and I haven't stopped.
The rain is falling, everything is damp, Zhang Chao didn't live in the Thorn Mansion, he lived in the Zhang family's own property, a very good manor villa.
The last time King Qin was king, he also stayed here.
When I went out of Beijing a few years ago, I also lived here with Cheng Qian.
It was confiscated by the imperial court before.
But now, like other Zhangjia industries in Runzhou, it is back in the hands of Zhang Chao.
The house is very big, everything is the same as before, and even some of the servants in it are still in the past.
When the servants and slaves saw Zhang Chao coming back, they were all overjoyed, and the Zhang family was notoriously benevolent and generously treated.
Everyone is willing to do things for the Zhang family, and even when they go out, they have to feel superior.
The housekeeper in the mansion came over with a bunch of account books, saying that a lot of things in the house had been copied, and most of the government had sent them back a few days ago, and some of them had not been sent back, and he had recorded them in the account books.
Zhang Chao just flipped through it casually.
"Uncle Wang did a good job, he paid some money from the account and gave everyone in the house a reward, so I thank everyone."
The housekeeper smiled and stepped back and spread the news, and the people in the house were even happier and grateful.
Due to the heavy rain for several days, the Yangtze River is also very watery.
Yangzhou, on the other side of the river, has now garrisoned 30,000 Tang troops.
It seems that the imperial court also intends to abandon Runzhou and Baoyang, hoping to hold Jiangbei. declined all kinds of requests to see, but Zhang Chao took a shower.
I took a shower and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was dark, it was afternoon, and it was like evening.
The sky was gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Zhang Chao frowned, it didn't look right this day, the water level of the Yangtze River was already very high, and the big rivers and rivers in Jiangnan Province were also full, and many places had even been flooded.
The cook in the house made a few meals he liked to eat according to Zhang Chao's taste.
After a sleep, he was indeed hungry, and Zhang Chao ate three bowls of rice in one go.
The cook saw that Zhang Chao ate cleanly, and her chubby face was full of joy.
After dinner, I took a walk, lay down under the porch and watched the pouring rain, and the rain curtain in the sky, the sky and the earth were white and white, and there was a crackling.
Fortunately, the south boat and the north horse, all the way over, he 30,000 people were by boat.
The canal is full of water, and the boat on the river is quite comfortable and fast.
If you are marching on land, the ground will be soaked in mud in this ghost weather.
The wheels of the carriage were sunk in, and it was estimated that they would not be able to get out.
In mid-June, the early rice harvest in the south was almost ready to be harvested.
But now, after days of heavy rain, the rice fields are full of water, and the rice seedlings are also lodging.
The rice is already golden and ripe, and if it is not harvested, the rice will rot and sprout in the field.
I'm afraid this season's harvest will be over.
If it goes down again, I am afraid that the water town in the south of the Yangtze River will become Zeguo.
For three days, the rain did not stop.
It seems that a big hole has been pierced in the sky, and the Milky Way has burst.
Runzhou City has also experienced waterlogging, and the low-lying urban area is full of water, generally reaching the thighs, and the water depth is even one person high.
Many homes and shops were flooded.
The officials who stayed behind began to organize the people to rescue the disaster, and Zhang Chao also sent soldiers to join the disaster relief.
The Chamber of Commerce actively raised funds and built a resettlement area for the victims on a high place, and set up tents one after another.
Grain and water are also transferred by the government, fortunately Runzhou is a big city, there is a large transshipment warehouse of the imperial court, and there is a lot of grain in the warehouse.
The officials ate and drank without worry, and their mood was stable.
"The counties of Runzhou were severely affected, with a large number of farmland flooded and houses flooded."
Runzhou Thorn Shi reported to Zhang Chao with a sad face.
"Immediately activate the disaster relief emergency plan, organize officials, mobilize the masses, and rescue the people in the disaster area.
The transfer of materials and the reinforcement of the embankment were also repaired and reinforced.
Those who should relocate the people and establish resettlement sites should also get a good grasp of it.
There are also resettlement sites, which must be carried out in strict accordance with the regulations on disaster relief and epidemic prevention and hygiene."
Zhang Chao is very calm.
In recent years, the imperial court has already had a set of strict and detailed disaster relief emergency plans, which can face all kinds of disasters.
There are detailed regulations for each disaster and how to deal with it, so that the rescue work can be made faster.
And the Yicang Shecang, which the imperial court has built in various places over the years, as well as many transshipment warehouses, also made the rescue more rapid.
The most important thing is to ensure that the people can have a safe place to be temporarily resettled, that they can have food to eat in the resettlement camps, that infectious diseases will not occur, and that they will not be instigated by those who have a good heart.
What needs to be prevented is the further expansion of the disaster.
As for post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, that's a matter of going back.
"Zhao Tingshi, I know that we have some disagreements in some places, but now we should all put these aside for the time being.
Now the top priority is to relieve the disaster and reassure the people, as an official who has read the books of sages and sages, I believe that Zhao Yuanjun can understand this."
Zhao Tingshi nodded.
Although he was forced to be coerced and attached, he was still able to reach an agreement with Zhang Chao on the issue of disaster relief at this time.
Unite to provide disaster relief and reassure the people.
The rain didn't stop.
The rain continued to rain, and it continued to rain, and more and more people were affected.
Half of the city of Runzhou was flooded.

The embankments are also in a hurry.
Zhang Chao arranged for people to strengthen the embankment, and on the other hand, he had to send troops to patrol and guard the embankment to prevent the imperial court from sending people to break the embankment.
Returning home from outside, although Zhang Chao was wearing a raincoat, he was also soaked up and down.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Chao saw a familiar figure appear in his eyes.
Hongxian stood there, looking at Zhang Chao, tears streaming down.
"You're back" "San Lang, I thought I'd never see you again."
As she spoke, Red Thread burst into tears, ran a few steps, and pounced.
Zhang Chao hugged her, and he was also very excited.
During this time, he also thought about his wife and concubines and children day and night, especially after Xiao Thirteen and Xia Hua were killed one after another, he was even more worried about them.
"Did you come alone?"
"I came back with four children."
Zhang Chao took Hongqi's hand back to the house, and Hongxian was busy wiping the rain off Zhang Chao's body, and took clothes to serve him to change clothes.
"Call a couple of kids here."
Those who came back with the red line were her four children, the second daughter Ruohua and Balang Zhang Jun, the seventh daughter Zhang Lihua and the fifteenth Lang Zhang Lu.
Ruohua is fourteen, Zhang Jun is also twelve, Lihua is ten years old, and fifteen Lang is also eight years old.
"When I was in Hanjing, Ke Jiaotou said that we would transfer them separately, and in the end they would all be separated, and the fewer people there were, the safer we were.
But I can't rest assured that I must take them with me.
Red Line hugged Fifteen Lang and said.
In the past few months, she has also been hiding in Tibet, and she doesn't even know the news outside.
The people of the shadows were afraid that she would know the news outside, so they didn't tell him about Thirteen Lang and Xia Hua.
It was also after she arrived in Runzhou that she learned that Zhang Lin, the thirteenth year of her fifteenth year, was actually caught on the road and then brutally killed.
And Xia Hua, such a cute and smart Xia Hua, was actually killed, and she didn't even let go of the nearly six-month-old child in her belly.
She is not only happy for her children, but also sad for Little Thirteen and Lu.
"It's good to be back."
Zhang Chao looked at the four children and was much happier in his heart.
Finally, four children escaped "Thirteen Niang, haven't they come back yet?"
"Not yet, because I am reluctant to be separated from my children, I take my children away, and it is not so convenient to move, and I am still working hard."
"I hope they'll come back soon."
The red line prayed for them.
She was also fortunate that Zhang Chao came to Runzhou, otherwise, she didn't know how much time it would take to escape to Guangzhou to reunite.
During the torrential rain, another 30,000 troops led by Cheng Qian who were heading north from the canal arrived some days later than expected.
After entering Runzhou, Cheng Qian heard that Hongxian had returned with four children, and he was also happy for Zhang Chao.
Then, he made a request to Zhang Chao.
"Teacher, I want to ask to marry Senior Sister Ruohua." t1706231537:
