When Zhu Jiabao, who was in Hefei, heard the news, he was so angry that he almost cursed. Now he was commanding the Qing army and the Anqing Revolutionary Army to fight in full swing, and he could not withdraw even a little force to stabilize the Huoshang riots. However, the situation in Huoshan County was not optimistic and he could not ignore it, as his hair turned white a few times.

At this time, Xu Lizhen, who had been suppressed by his suspicion, stood up and took on this task: "Sir, I have a supervisor in charge of Wu Chu, who comes from a family of officials, and can lead troops to Huoshan to quell the rebellion. I hope you can allow it!"

Zhu Jiabao breathed a sigh of relief. Some people were willing to come forward to push the tank. However, he did not dare to be completely relieved by the person recommended by Xu Lizhen. Later, he transferred the supervisor to take a detailed look at the information of Wu Chu, and summoned Wu Chu in person. He found that there was no problem with this person. He was relieved to ask him to lead a battalion of less than 500 troops to Huoshan to quell the rebellion. Considering that the remote areas of Huoshan Mountain were everywhere, no one was willing to become an official, so he simply appointed Wu Chu as the magistrate of Huoshan County and commanded Huoshan County to respond to military and political affairs.

What made him feel strange was that shortly after Wu Chu led his army to leave, Xu Lizhen found him and handed over his resignation, saying, "I am old and weak, and I am not enough to deal with the errand." Finally, he begged the governor to let him go home and retire to the countryside. Because the war with the Revolutionary Army was in a state of anxiety at that time, he did not have the heart to pay attention to why Xu Lizhen did this and nodded in recognition of his resignation.

After Xu Lizhen resigned from office, she immediately brought her family to Shanghai to live a life of luxury apartment...

Wu Chu (the younger brother of the revolutionary martyr Wu Yue) led less than 500 elite patrol battalions to Huoshan, easily quelling riots in Huoshan County and defeated several bandit forces in a row. Even the bandit forces who originally designed to kill the former county magistrate Liu Chuangu were defeated, and the momentum was shocked and intimidated the night of the night. The public security in Huoshan was actually very good.

After sweeping the riots in the territory, Wu Chu was firmly appointed as the county magistrate of Huoshan County. He had five hundred elite soldiers under his command, and the gentry and landlords in various townships were grateful for their life-saving grace. At the beginning, the government was supported by most of the gentry and landlords. But gradually, the gentry and landlords were angry and discovered that the actions of the new county magistrate were completely harming their interests.

Reduce rent and interest rates? Isn’t this a joke? The land rent of mud legs has been reduced, so will their income be reduced as a result? Wouldn’t it be a scramble for food in their jobs?

The world is big, but not as big as your own!

Therefore, taking advantage of the convenience and connections of the local tyrants, the gentry and landlords of Huoshan County did not dare to confront Wu Chu on the surface, but secretly used all kinds of means to do everything they could, trying every means to block the new county magistrate's administration. The relationship between the two sides used their means to be stiff and cold to the freezing point, and the atmosphere in the county was even more tense!

At this time, the bandits who had been "defeated" by Wu Chu's army and disappeared for a while suddenly emerged again. Taking advantage of the tense relationship between the county government and the gentry in various places and were neglected to prepare for the situation, they suddenly broke out and robbed several township landlords' houses in a row, and then stole the robbed food, gold, silver and money and returned to the deep mountains to the "title's nest".

The gentry and landlords were shocked. For their own wealth and life, they did not care about the filth between them and Wu Chu before, and hurriedly prepared a generous gift to the county town. They first gave Wu Chu a generous gift, and then gave it a stingy and flattering. Recently, they begged the county magistrate to send troops to wipe out the bandits this time, and they must be eradicated. They will definitely thank them afterwards...

Wu Chu, who was so angry that he could not let these stingy people go so easily? He accepted all the generous gifts, and under the expectations of the gentry and landlords, turned around and changed his face, and flatly refused the request of the gentry and landlords. The army led by Yan Dao had other things, and he really couldn't get away. The landlords and gentry were shocked and begged hard, but Wu Chu ignored them at all. Anyway, he just wanted to let them go: I want me to send troops, but I have no way to do it!

However, he did not do anything. When the landlords and gentry were disappointed and resentful, they gave them the right to recruit guards and purchase weapons and ammunition on their own, hoping that they would protect the town from bandits themselves.

Although the gentry and landlords were angry when they saw this, they scolded Wu Chu for being too bad, but they had to bow their heads under the eaves. Seeing that the county magistrate would never send troops to help, they had no choice but to leave on their own, and then recruit soldiers, horses and purchase weapons and ammunition. The silver and money were spent like flowing water. They felt so distressed that they kept muttering in their dreams at night, "My money, my money."

However, a remote area like Huoshan is too poor. How much financial and power can the gentry and tyrants who can run rampant here? The people they can recruit are just some bad people, either young and strong refugees who have lost their land, and the yamen are destiny who gather in the mountains and forests to become kings. Such personnel may be good to deal with ordinary bandits, but it would be good to deal with the "bandits" who have been trained and experienced the test of war. It would be great to save a life. Still want to defeat him? Go dreaming!

Unfortunately, the refugees and outlaws who had long been confused by the white ocean could not know about this? They touched the ocean in their pockets, carried the birds and guns bought by the squire and landlords for a "big price", and rushed to the forest where bandits frequently appeared. The two sides met unexpectedly in the deep mountains and dense forests. Then there was a burst of "crackling" battle. The local militia organized in a hurry could not withstand the bandits' sharp firearms and skillful mountain combat skills. They were completely defeated before they could persist for a long time, and then they were wiped out under the pursuit of the bandits!

In order to revenge the "innocence" of the gentry and landlords, the bandits rushed down the mountain to loot the gentry and landlords who had the most recruitment efforts. Amid a burst of crying and begging, the bandits roared away with the looted property, leaving only the gentry and landlords who were in a mess and crying and crying...

Now, the gentry and landlords really couldn't stand it. Although they were very scattered every time the bandits robbed, as long as they were safe and had no danger of money and their families, they did not see any violations of their families. It was a rare "bandit" who abides by the rules. However, the huge losses of money really made them unable to bear it. They could still grit their teeth and persevere once or twice, but with more times, they all had the danger of transforming from landlords into poor and lower-middle peasants. How could they not make them frightened and panic all day long?
