Chapter 521: A Chopstick and a Chopstick

"Your Excellency."

"The three people in front of the city gate are the backbone of the rebellion in Anton Wei this time. The one on the left, called Chen Zhan, turned out to be one of the hundred households of the Thousand Households after Anton Wei. The one in the middle, called Zhao Sanming, is the general flag of the Qianhu Office of Anton Wei. The one on the right, called Liu Xing, is an ordinary military household in the Thousand Households of Anton Weizhong. ”

When approaching Andong City, Yin Fengyi said in a low voice.

Hearing that Zhang Zhun was coming, the three backbones who launched a rebellion in Anton Wei, Chen Zhan, Liu Xing, and Zhao Sanming, all stood at the city gate to welcome Zhang Zhun's arrival. Behind them, there were several hundred other military households. The faces of these military households are not very good, the clothes on their bodies are even more ragged, and many of them are disabled. Obviously, they should be the poorest group of people in Anton Wei's life.

Anton Wei has more than 100,000 military households, and now only a few hundred people welcome Zhang Zhun's arrival, which shows that the military households here are not very welcoming to Zhang Zhun's arrival. Or maybe there is a deep taboo in some aspects, and he doesn't dare to come out to welcome Zhang Zhun's arrival. Well, Zhang Zhun seems to smell the feeling of Lingshanwei again. It seems that Anton Wei has a lot of things to do on this trip.

"Lord Governor!"

"Lord Governor!"

"Lord Governor!"

The three of them saluted Zhang Zhun one after another.

"Hmm."

Zhang Zhun nodded noncommittally, snorted softly in his nostrils, and then jumped off the horse.

There was no special look on his face, and he felt a little cold. This expression was specially shown to these three people, and he wanted to put a little pressure on these three people. On the way, Zhang Zhun had already listened to Yin Fengyi's detailed introduction to the basic situation of Anton Wei. Anton Wei has a lot of situations, and the three people in front of him have unshirkable responsibilities.

"Everyone! I'm Zhang Zhun! ”

"I heard that something happened to Anton Wei, so I came over to take a look!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely support you! No one can use force against you! The housekeepers of King Lu's Mansion, as well as the soldiers led by Ni Pet, have all been driven away by me! As long as I'm here, as long as the Tiger Army is here, I absolutely guarantee everyone's safety! ”

Zhang Zhun had a very cold attitude towards Chen Zhan, Liu Xing, Zhao Sanming and others, but he was very enthusiastic about the military households behind them. He knows what these military households need most now. What they need most is a sense of security.

Sure enough, the hundreds of military households behind were greatly relieved when they heard Zhang Zhun's voice. It seems that the shadow of King Lu's Mansion on their hearts is still very heavy. After all, the Lu Wangfu was no one else, but a relative of the emperor. Offending the emperor's relatives, the consequences were too serious. If it weren't for the support of the Tiger Army, the heads of these people would have been hung up for public display.

Zhang Zhun randomly picked a military household and asked in a deep voice, "Are you afraid of King Lu's Mansion?" ”

The soldier said hesitantly, "Don't be afraid...... A little scared ......."

Zhang Zhun smiled loudly and said arrogantly: "Don't be afraid! As long as the Tiger Army is here, you don't have to be afraid! I have already expelled King Heng, and it is not a great deal to expel another King of Lu! If he provokes me, I will take you directly to Yanzhou Mansion, so that he will not be able to stay in Yanzhou Mansion! ”

The soldier's eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Zhang Zhun in disbelief.

Expelling King Lu?

It's horrible!

Zhang Zhun had already laughed and went into the city.

As the largest guard house in Qingzhou Prefecture, the scale of Andong City is quite large. Zhang Zhun roughly estimated that the area of the city was at least about 20 square kilometers. At that time, such a city could be regarded as a relatively large city. Therefore, there was plenty of space in the city to arrange places such as houses, shops, warehouses, barracks, stables, and official residences. Some areas even look a little empty.

Most of the buildings, including the gates and walls, are in a bit of disrepair. It's also commonplace. The serious decline of the guard system will naturally seriously affect the construction of the acropolis. Zhang Zhun took a closer look at the surrounding city walls, and saw no shadow of the cannon, presumably it was demolished again to sell for money. The streets in Andong City are also full of potholes, all of which are dirt roads. The bluestone slabs laid on it seem to be gone.

The official residence of the commander of the guard of Anton Wei is located in the north of the city and occupies a large area. The official residence is a typical courtyard-style structure, and the outer walls are all red walls and blue tiles, which are solemn and imposing. This official residence of the commander of the guard, Andong Wei's military household called it the "Little Forbidden City" behind the back, and it is said that it was built in imitation of the Forbidden City of the Beijing Division. Strictly speaking, such a building is prohibited. It's just that in this year, there are so many things that no one has the energy to take care of them.

After Zhang Zhun came to Andong City, he naturally lived in the Little Forbidden City. The original owner of the Little Forbidden City was naturally expelled from the sky. In the meeting hall of the Little Forbidden City, Brigadier Zhang summoned Chen Zhan, Liu Xing, and Zhao Sanming to discuss issues related to land reform. The source of all Anton Wei's problems lies in the land. As long as the land problem is solved, other problems can be easily solved.

According to Yin Fengyi's report, Anton Wei's biggest problem is that some military households are not enthusiastic enough. Especially those tenants who had land to cultivate. However, this part of the tenants has the highest status in Anton Wei and is the core backbone of Anton Wei. They did not support land reform, and Chen Zhan, Liu Xing, and Zhao Sanming were unable to fully implement the "Juntian Order".

Of course, the fear of revenge from the Lu Wangfu is also a very important reason. After all, it was none other than the Lu Wangfu, which had a very strong presence in Shandong, that occupied the most of Andongwei's land. It is naturally a good thing to get your own land. However, if the Lu Wangfu counterattacks and counterattacks, it may not be a good thing. King Lu is a relative of the emperor, and ordinary officials are completely different, if you offend King Lu, the counterattack of the officers and soldiers will be very violent. Whether they can stop the counterattack of the official army, to be honest, many military households have no confidence.

The 40,000 acres of land in Andongwei of the Lu Wangfu are the best, and the grain output is also the highest. Most of the fields were cultivated by Anton Wei's military households. They have changed from military households to mere tenants. This part of the military households is considered to have vested interests, so they are not very active in supporting the rebellion initiated by the three people. They feared that if the rebellion did not succeed, they would lose their work and lose more than they gained.

People are selfish, and it is not surprising that these tenants have such concerns. When Zhang Zhun rebelled in Fushan, the enthusiasm of some tenants was also not very high. However, Zhang Zhun didn't want this part of the tenants to make a move at all, so he directly took Fushan City. It was a foregone conclusion, the raw rice was cooked and cooked, and this part of the tenants had to follow Zhang Zhun away.

The current Anton Wei, the rebellion is a bit unruly, and he wants to implement the Juntian Order, but he has not implemented it to the end. However, if the Junda Decree was not implemented, the rebellion they launched would have to be quickly suppressed. Even if it is not suppressed, everything will soon return to the way it was. Some military households want to keep the status quo, and some military households want to change the status quo, and this is the focus of the contradiction.

Topographically speaking, Anton Wei is too close to Yanzhou Mansion. The imperial court has always stationed heavy troops in Yanzhou Mansion. Anton Wei had any troubles, and the officers and men acted very quickly. For example, this time Anton Wei rebelled, and the officers and soldiers reacted very quickly. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Tiger Ben Army and the shock of the Ming officers and soldiers, the current Andong Wei would have been purged a long time ago.

Anton Wei also has a big problem, that is, there is not enough land. Anton Wei has a population of more than 100,000 people, but the fields are only about 400,000 acres. In other words, in order to implement the "Uniform Field Order" in Antonwei, each person will not be allocated five acres of land, unless the mountains are included in it. However, in the northwest of Andongwei, there are Wulian Mountain mountainous areas, with high mountains and dense forests, infested with bandits, and even if they want to reclaim the land, there is not much land that can be cultivated, which makes the enthusiasm of the military households to reclaim the land not very high.

Because of the lack of a strong organization, military households were very divided on the distribution of land. Some people want to divide the land immediately, while others want to continue to wait and see. Chen Zhan, Liu Xing, and Zhao Sanming have different opinions. Since everyone can't condense into one heart, of course things are very troublesome.

Yin Fengyi wanted to invite Zhang Zhun to come, and a very important reason was to suppress the differences between the three people. Each of the three has its own supporters, and if they can't be united, Anton Wei will still be scattered. This is not in the interests of the Tiger Army. Anton Wei's geographical location is very important, and Zhang Zhun will definitely find a way to control Anton Wei in his own hands.

Sitting in the conference hall, Chen Zhan, Liu Xing, and Zhao Sanming were all silent. Since Zhang Zhun arrived, the three of them obviously felt the pressure that Zhang Zhun gave them. Even, they could feel that Zhang Zhun was a little dissatisfied with the three of them. This dissatisfaction does not come from denying their abilities, but from their differences. I believe that Yin Fengyi must have told Zhang Zhun about the differences between the three of them.

Zhang Zhun glanced at the three of them and said bluntly: "I want to know, what is the purpose of your rebellion?" ”

All three remained silent and did not speak.

Zhang Zhun stared at Chen Zhan with shining eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Zhan, you speak first." ”

Chen Zhan said slowly: "I want land." ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "You originally have land." ”

Chen Zhan's expression was a little embarrassed, and he stopped talking.

He turned out to be one of the hundred households of Anton Weihou's Thousand Households, and he did have more than 100 acres of land under his name. The population of his family is not more than twenty people, and the reason for asking for land is indeed insufficient, no wonder Zhang Zhun's tone is a little cold. In fact, Zhang Zhun was indeed very annoyed that Chen Zhan opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhun's face sank, and then said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Chen Zhan hesitated for a moment, the expression on his face kept changing, as if he wanted to find other excuses, but in the end, he couldn't resist Zhang Zhun's pressure, and finally said with difficulty: "I...... I want to get ahead. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded casually and said coldly: "This is a good reason, I believe in you." As long as it's human, who doesn't want to get ahead? What's so bad about that? ”

Chen Zhan's expression was a little strange, but he felt relieved. It's not always nice to expose your true thoughts. However, in front of Zhang Zhun, there is an exception. If you want to get Zhang Zhun's support, you must let Zhang Zhun understand his true thoughts.

Zhang Zhun turned his gaze to Liu Xing and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xing, you say." ”

Liu Xing was very straightforward and said without hesitation: "My family is the poorest, I don't have any land, I just want land." According to Hu Benjun's "Juntian Order", a total of eight people in my family are eligible, and they can be allocated at least 40 acres of land. As long as I can give my family forty acres of land, I will be very satisfied. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded casually and said coldly: "I believe in you too." ”

He turned his head to look at Zhao Sanming.

Zhao Sanming said: "I just want to kill Qiao Yunshi, I hate him!" ”

Zhang Zhun looked at him for a moment, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Okay!" Now that everyone has spoken their hearts, I won't embarrass you. The three of you, one wants to get ahead, one wants the field, and the other wants to kill and take revenge. Indeed, everyone's aspirations are very different. But just because you're so different doesn't mean you don't have a common language. ”

"Chen Zhan, if you want to get ahead, what do you think is the most important condition? To get ahead, the most important thing is to have a group of people who support you. In such troubled times, no one can do it alone. Even if you have the courage of Lu Bu, you will not be able to withstand the tide of enemies in the end. Why can I, Zhang Zhun, sit on the top and talk to you? It's because I have a group of loyal subordinates. Why do you want others to follow you? You can't give benefits to others, why should others sell you their lives? ”

"Liu Xing, do you want your own field? There's no problem with that. But have you ever wondered how you keep the field after it's in your hands? Will the officers and soldiers let you get these fields smoothly? On your own? Or is it by the power of many people? Ni Pet's 3,000 soldiers, can you stop it alone? ”

"Zhao Sanming, you killed Qiao Yunshi, what are you going to do? Qiao Yunshi is Anton Wei's guard commander. You killed a big man who is a good third grade, what do you think will happen to you? Hanging your head in public? Raiding the house and exterminating the family? Do you think it's possible for the court to let you go? ”

"Whether you want to get ahead, protect your fields, or save your own lives, you can't do it alone. A chopstick is easy to break, and a pair of chopsticks is difficult to break, such a simple truth, I believe you all understand. You are three chopsticks, and Anton Wei's other military households are hundreds of thousands of chopsticks. It's easy to cut off your three chopsticks. However, hundreds of thousands of chopsticks are twisted together, and even a machete cannot be cut! ”
