Yongzheng ran away, Yinxiang ran away.
However, the salt merchants of all sizes in Yangzhou City could not escape.
Within Yangzhou, the bureaucrats of all sizes could not escape.
They were all under control.
This Shing Wong Temple was simply a natural prison.
How should he put it?
Zhang Mu really wanted to thank Emperor Yongzheng.
Otherwise, it would not be easy to control these bureaucrats.
However, for Zhang Mu, the most important thing now was to control the city gate and the entire Yangzhou City.
It was not difficult to achieve these two things.
One was the armory, and the other was the granary.
Twenty people were in charge of guarding the Shing Wong Temple.
A hundred people were responsible for controlling the armory.
The 100 people were responsible for controlling the granary.
At the same time, the remaining 80 people quickly mobilized and organized the rioters who had entered the city to receive food.
Zhang Mu was not idle at all.
He directly took out the seal of the Yangzhou magistrate.
He wanted all the petty officials in Yangzhou City to listen to his orders.
The Green Army soldiers in the city were also confused. They did not see anything else but the official seal of their superiors, so they obediently listened to Zhang Mu's words.
Although they were rebels, the seal in their hands represented their official status. These petty officials wanted to kill the rebels, but they could not figure it out.
He only said that the rebels were attacking the city, and the officials had no choice but to open the granaries to release food.
Order began to stabilize.
They registered, queued up, and received food.
Of course, there were also some criminals who wanted to fish in troubled waters. They were also dragged out by Zhang Mu and beaten to death on the spot.
There was still a need to have the necessary force to deter them.
If his methods were not ruthless enough, he would not be able to deter them at all.
in troubled times, heavy laws were used.
"Hello, Samuel. Those who are willing to join us can stay. In total, no more than 3,000 people can join us!”
Zhang Mu glanced at the commoners who were still collecting food and quickly said,""At present, how many people are willing to join us?”
"There are quite a lot of them. Many of them can't live anymore and want to follow us!”Su Sanhao quickly said,"However, according to your instructions, we have to be young and strong. Either our parents are dead or we have brothers at home!"”
With both parents dead, he had no worries. The barefoot were not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. As long as he joined his team, he would always be able to fight and kill.
As for those who had brothers at home, they would be given an extra portion of food.
As long as the protection measures were good enough, it would not harm his family.
Zhang Mu nodded.
Su Sanhao had recruited quite a number of people, and a considerable number of them had already been assigned tasks, mainly to help maintain order.
It was absolutely impossible to expect them to go into battle and kill the enemy.
Even if they were asked to maintain order, they were still lacking.
Fortunately, they had changed into Qing soldiers 'clothes and had weapons in their hands, which made them more dignified.
With the old leading the new, the situation could still be considered stable.
Of course, Zhang Mu still killed one of the rapists on the spot.
It was a knife that directly split the person in half from head to toe.
This could be considered establishing his might.
For the time being, Zhang Mu had stabilized the hearts of the people in Yangzhou City.
Yangzhou City had entered a state of military control.
All the ships at the dock were under control. A portion of grain was transported to the ships. In addition, there was also silver. However, Zhang Mu was not in a hurry. The richest salt merchants in Yangzhou were in his hands. Why would he be afraid that he could not squeeze oil from them?
In fact, if possible, Zhang Mu really wished that he could not leave and directly lead these tens of thousands of rioters to raise the flag and start fighting.
However, Zhang Mu's rationality told him that he absolutely could not.
Yangzhou was a place with no danger to defend.
Moreover, it was an important economic area. If he occupied Yangzhou, the imperial court would definitely arrange for heavy troops to attack. He would have no place to defend himself.
Tens of thousands of people, only a few thousand could go to the battlefield.
The Qing soldiers only needed to charge and they would be able to destroy him like wood.
This group of people simply could not be organized.
How much time could the Qing government give him?
If he followed the Grand Canal, it would take at most half a month for the army to arrive at the city. He would not be able to resist the Invincible General Cannon. He could not possibly kill hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the imperial court alone, right?
For these disaster victims, Zhang Mu's method was to give them food. Bring enough rations and go home obediently. Don't think about rebelling.
Rebellion is not suitable for you. You can only take as many people as you can.
After entering Maolin, it was Jiangxi with many mountains. It was the most suitable place for him to develop his team and deal with the imperial court.
Strike the landlord, divide the land.
Gathering people's hearts, as long as there was enough time, he would definitely be able to nurture an elite army.
It would not be so easy for the Imperial Court to deal with him.
"There's more!"
Zhang Mu glanced at Su Sanhao and said slowly,""I also need to rope in the intellectual group. It's best if it's those who have studied but haven't become officials. Find this group of people and bring them all away!”
"Chief, why are you looking for them?"”
Zhang Mu shrugged and said slowly,""What else can I do by teaching you how to read? Do you want me to teach you all to read and write? "These people who have studied and failed to become officials will not be so resistant to us. As long as we give them a little respect and status, they might be able to serve us. When we have culture, we will make these stubborn people get lost!”
"Alright, I understand!"”
At this moment, Liu Yongjiang ran to Zhang Mu and said,""Chief, Chief!"
Zhang Mu's gaze fell on Liu Yongjiang. He looked at the excited Liu Yongjiang and thought,""The Invincible Divine General Cannon can be used?”
"Yes, yes, we still have more than 30 rounds!”Liu Yongjiang said excitedly.
"Good, good!" Zhang Mu laughed.”
He took a deep breath and slowly said,"Yinzhen, Yinxiang and the others have escaped from Yangzhou City, so they will definitely not be satisfied. Next, they will probably mobilize the Green Army to take back Yangzhou City. With this cannon, we can definitely give them a ruthless blow!”
The longer he stayed in Yangzhou, the more benefits he would receive.
With this Invincible General Cannon, Zhang Mu couldn't help but laugh. He wanted to leave a deep psychological trauma for Yinzhen.
