Chapter 3

In the fourth year of Yuanyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1089), Huang Chao raised his anti-flag

He asked his two infantry divisions to divide into a squad of 100 people, each team was equipped with 10 artillery soldiers, and brought [Single Type 1] field artillery, hand bullets and medicine bags.

A total of 60 teams attacked the surroundings according to the established route.

Whenever I encounter a village, the team goes straight to the largest landlord's residence in the local area. As for who the landlord is, it has been investigated in advance.

As for the materials retrieved from the landlord's house, they were transported to the pre-planned base, preserved, collected the land deeds and burned in public.

When encountering a landlord who resisted, he would throw a bullet into the high gate courtyard, then use field battle to bombard people, drive them away from the courtyard wall, dig holes and stuff them into the wall, and with a bang, he would blow him up the entire wall, and then throw a round of bullets, and the infantry went in to replenish the guns.

Kill all the people in the wall, and no one is left. If you enjoy the benefits of the crime, you are also accomplices, so there is no distinction, and there is no time to distinguish.

After the landlord killed or tried publicly, 10 young and middle-aged people were selected from the angry crowd, forming a joint army to do some auxiliary work such as transportation.

Huang Chao's team was rampant all the way, and Dengzhou (now Yantai City, Weihai City) was wiped out within half a month.

After that, Huang Chao did not continue to fight outside, but calmed down to deal with internal affairs.

He fulfilled his promise.

The poor peasants in Dengzhou were both happy and scared. They knew that Huang Chao was better than the imperial court, but that was a rebellion after all. Can such a good life last long?

Such concerns didn't last long.

After Huang Chao's army used a volley of cannons to destroy Qingzhou and Mizhou, which had finally organized the officers and soldiers who were known as the 100,000 army, everyone's worries disappeared.

After this battle, Huang Chao did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but continued to deepen his efforts in Dengzhou.

Military, he merged the First to Fourth Divisions into the First Army, named Qinglong, and promoted Huang Shang to commander and awarded the rank of lieutenant general.

Among them, the Fifth Division was independent and renamed the Academy of Sciences, with Huang Zhong as the rank of dean and lieutenant general.

Later, 20,000 orphans were recruited to form the Second Army. All officers of the Second Army were transferred from the First Army. Some orphans with excellent performance in the Second Army were also transferred to the First Army, which roughly guaranteed that each army had 6 full divisions of 3,000 people.

The Second Army was named Baihu, and Huang Rong was appointed as the commander and the rank of lieutenant general.

The Third Army and the Fourth Army are composed of newly recruited young and middle-aged people in Dengzhou. Each army has only 10,000 people at the moment, named Zhuque and Xuanwu. The commander of the Third Army is Huang Xiang, with the rank of Major General, Huang Long, and Brigadier General.

Politically, Huang Chao implemented military control throughout Dengzhou, and the armed forces with live ammunition went directly to every village, took over the rights of each clan, and his tentacles went deep into every person.

In the autumn harvest a year later, he really only collected 10% of the food from the farmers, and did not take any more. Some farmers who were too poor even had 10% of the rent.

Looking at the grain piled up in the house, the farmers who had never lived such a good life completely returned to their hearts. From the bottom of their hearts, Huang Chao would not be defeated by the court and live a hundred years old. Many people even put Huang Chao's new words in their homes and knelt down day and night.

After knowing that Huang Chao discovered it, he stopped the storm of Jiansheng Ci.

At the same time, Huang Chao vigorously rectified the sanitation situation and established thousands of public toilets in Dengzhou. While irrigating with farm fertilizer, he collected soil and nitrogen to prepare black fire.

The Academy of Sciences has just broken through the large-scale preparation of three acids and two alkalis, and the fertilizer plant is under construction.

Because Dengzhou is near the sea, there are many fishermen who make a living by fishing. These fishermen usually risk their lives to go out to sea to fish, but even if they catch fish, they cannot sell for the price. They have to withstand the oppression of the court, landlords, and bullies. Their original life was even harder than tenant farmers.

Huang Chao swept away the three mountains pressing against these miserable people, and purchased the fishing catches made by these fishermen at a conscience price without limit. In addition to sending them to the army to supplement protein for soldiers, he also sent them to factories to make salt fish, canned fish and other goods, and sold them all over the country.

Although Huang Chao is a rebel, he appears to be in the same power as the court.

However, the businessmen and Dengzhou from Qingzhou and Mizhou have never stopped trading. Trucks of soap, glass, high-quality liquor, refined sea salt, sugar and white paper are transported out of Dengzhou and sold to noble scholars and doctors who are good at enjoying life.

Trucks of coal, iron ore and grain were transported back to Dengzhou.

Not only land transportation, but also sea transportation.

Huang Chao made generous concessions, allowing all the businessmen who did business with him to make a fortune.

Even after he raised the flag high, he did not stop sending money to Qingzhou Prefecture, Mizhou Prefecture, and Kaifeng Prefecture.

After the autumn harvest, the second wave of encirclement and suppression troops of the court finally arrived. This time, the cannons swayed and the officers and soldiers ran back with their feet.

Huang Chao's army chased after him, and did not kill anyone. He captured all those who could be captured alive. In the end, he captured 20,000 prisoners. No one on his side died, and only more than a dozen unlucky guys sprained their feet because they ran too fast.

Huang Chao took advantage of the situation to expand his territory and occupied Qingzhou and Mizhou together.

The two prefects would rather die than surrender, and they were very honest.

So Huang Chao took out his gun, shot one by one, and sent them to Zhao Kuangyin to go to the death.

Now the court finally understood the seriousness of the matter. Huang Chao, the rebel, had occupied the entire Shandong Peninsula. Next to it was Daming Mansion. Two more steps were taken down, and Kaifeng was.

The court was panicked, and while quickly drew troops from the northwest Datong Prefecture and Yan'an Prefecture, he sent an imperial envoy to surrender Huang Chao.

Huang Chao was too lazy to pretend. Not to mention surrendering, the imperial envoy could not even enter his territory.

He didn't want to delay any more. He was afraid that the Liao Kingdom and Xixia would take the opportunity to invade Song Kingdom. The people would not suffer in this way.

So he decided not to develop slowly anymore and to talk about it in one step.
