Chapter 1149: Plan Ahead
It was agreed here, after a few days of rest, Zhao Jin left with seven companies, Ji Xiang and the three companies belonging to the first regiment of the pro-guard brigade stayed, waiting for the arrival of follow-up forces, his three companies were not thin in Yizhou, and the regimental training of several granges around them had been gathered to obey orders, and even the Tian family itself organized two hundred Ding Zhuang to serve his orders.
In addition, Ji Xiang also sent a hero post through the Guò Tian family, following the example of Zhao Ziying in Xuzhou and Pizhou, recruiting volunteer riders in the eastern half of Yanzhou Prefecture.
As soon as the news spread out, many Shandong warriors came to defect in all directions, and even many of the Liaodong deserters who had been collected were eager to try, the Shandong officialdom and the military, as well as the top gentry of various provinces, all knew what kind of behemoth Zhao Ziying was, and the vicinity of Jining and Southwest Lu had seen the majesty of Zhao Ziying in the Wenxiangjiao Rebellion, and these people were naturally in awe of these places.
But for other states and counties in Shandong, Xuzhou Zhao Ziying's storage zài is not strong, Zhao Ziying's agricultural reclamation, trade system has not reached out, has not been affected by the chaos, these places feel that Zhao Ziying is just a legend, far away from their own home, don't pay too much attention, so Yizhou Tian brothers will engage in wind and rain, as a result, Zhao Jin killed people directly arrested, the eastern part of Yanzhou Mansion became respectful, and Yishui, Mengyin, Juzhou, the three states and counties and nearby areas are repeating this process.
When Xuzhou settled the grange over there, collected the Liao people, and reclaimed the wasteland, the local gentry and the rivers and lakes all felt that outsiders were grabbing land and benefits, not to mention hostile intentions, and even coveted the fat that seemed to be "helpless".
The four granges were broken and bloodbathed, the local heroes divided the fields of the grange, and those who did it felt that they had taken a big advantage, and those who did not did it were watching the jokes of Xuzhou, and felt that Xuzhou did not understand the rules and deserved such an end, no one expected that the retribution would come so quickly, and everyone was not happy for a few days, and thousands of men in armor and horseback rushed over.
Everywhere the village and the horse bandits clash, each other attack and defense, this is all there, the fight can also be said to be tragic, but these battles have rules, for example, the villages fight, everyone does not sue the official, there are officials to go to the countryside to stop, the government to track down everyone to keep each other secret, and even the fight can only be in the early morning and dusk, because there are few people at that time, there are not many people to see, the alarm will not be wide, the horse bandits attack on the village, too close to the city will not go, will not attack somewhere, because this will alarm the government, It will make the same enemy everywhere, and sometimes it can't be raided, and the hard village of the soil is really not able to gnaw down.
Who would have thought that the fighting men in Xuzhou would not have any rules at all, and they would be washed all the way through with blood, what steep cottages, and what villages that could not be splashed with water, all of them were directly broken, and then the relevant people all cut off their heads, and Lujiazhuang, which was close to the city, was washed in blood in broad daylight, and then those Xuzhou people and horses were not even afraid of the officers and soldiers, and they turned around and scattered thousands of regiments, and then they swaggered away.
As for the people of Xuzhou, they are all riding high-headed horses, everyone is wearing iron armor, and it is said that there are artillery that can break the thick walls of the gate, and everyone is a blue-faced fangs eating people and drinking blood, which is more and more outrageous legends, but I have to believe that if it is not such a demon and monster, how can it destroy the city and sweep the black and white roads here.
Originally, Xuzhou lay on his stomach and did not move, everyone thought it was a big cat, and only after waiting up did he find out that it was a tiger, after discovering such a behemoth, it turned out that those people and forces who were watching naturally understood what to do, the country has a king law, the local rules are the law of the jungle, and the local rules are the law of the jungle, since this Zhao Ziying is strong enough, then everyone knows how to do it, and the scene of Xuzhou Pizhou that kind of children joining the army appears again.
On the fourth day after Zhao Jin left Gegoudian, twenty miles north of Gegoudian, the farmland began to be rebuilt, but this time the grange was not the slightest sketch, and the fortifications and the like were readily available, and the old regimental training company in the northern district of Huai'an was assigned to be responsible.
Needless to say, all the villages related to the attack on Xuzhou Grange were completely bloodbathed, and the rest were reclaimed by the people of the whole village, and the people related to trade and agricultural reclamation in Zhao Ziying directly approached the government and asked them to issue documents to directly eat the village fields of those bandits.
This trick is the real deterrent, Yishui, Mengyin, Juzhou, these places and the surroundings are silent, although those who have been relocated to the people may have a better life in the future, but for most people here, this is to dig them up, so that they will not even have their hometown, this is the real ruthlessness of cutting off children and grandchildren, how can people not be frightened, lest they be affected.
Single-handedly, the volunteer cavalry and the light cavalry of the Zhao Ziying began to wander in the south of Qingzhou Mansion, and they ignored the wind and grass of the city and the official mansion, and the movements of the local tyrants and gentry were no longer worth caring about, and they were all staring at whether there was a large group of officers and soldiers.
When it was close to the month of Layue, there were officers and soldiers, the number was almost more than 3,000, it looked like a tired wolf, and they had suffered a lot of crimes, at least more than half of this official army were Liaodi accents, and even the general thousand were Liaodi people, according to the news from the villages along the way, they should have come by the mountain road, no wonder it was so hard.
However, the news of this officer army was not good when it was marching on the mountain road, and the movements of the day in more than ten days or even longer may not be known, and after knowing it, the movements of this officer and army were also very interesting, just taking the main road to the east, it seems that they were going to take the main road back to Dengzhou Mansion and Laizhou Mansion, and the forces of the First Brigade and the Zhao Zi Battalion in Shandong were naturally ready to fight, but this official army was as cautious and cautious as possible, so as not to have any misunderstandings and conflicts with the Zhao Zi Battalion.
The appearance of this official army in the south of Qingzhou Mansion can be said to be very sudden, but the brain is more flexible, and if you think about the events of this time, you can probably judge it, but no one took the initiative to say it, and everyone tacitly passed it.
"It should be the officials and people in Yishui and Juzhou who urgently report for help, but our actions, the officials and soldiers of the Shandong government dare not care, and only Wei Zhongxian can make them move, and it is indeed Wei Zhongxian." After the news was urgently reported to Xuzhou, Zhao Jin made a judgment.
Wang Zhaojing and Ruhui, who were also in the conference hall, both felt a little relieved, Wang Zhaojing said with a smile: "If there is anyone in the court staring at us again, then the time to do big things will be advanced, but this year is not a good time, the matter of the river embankment breach is not big, but the rumors are not small, and many people around are worried about waiting and seeing." ”
In this era, most people will not leave the area with a diameter of 100 miles around them throughout their lives, even dozens of miles in diameter, not only the poor people, even the rich gentry are like this, do not leave the local, then the channel to understand the news can only be hearsay, others say that the embankment in Xuzhou burst, there is a flood, how many people died, how heavy the loss, there are always doubts and believes, few people go to Xuzhou to see for themselves because of doubt, the more outrageous rumors become the source of the truth.
Who doesn't know that this flood is huge, washing away the city and fields, drowning people and livestock, not to mention the Yellow River disaster, so from south to north, in addition to Xuzhou and the prefectures and counties adjacent to Xuzhou, the rest of the places feel that Xuzhou's vitality is greatly damaged, this time after Zhao Ziying killed chickens and monkeys in Yishui, the suspicion became smaller.
"The matter of recruiting workers and moving to live cannot be stopped because of the Chinese New Year, and even if the money in our treasury is taken out and used, it will not be used too much." Zhao Jin admonished.
From the beginning of the autumn, the Zhao word camp craftsman hall began to recruit labor, there is no limit to the handicraft, as long as you are willing to do the work, but the scope of recruitment is limited to Xuzhou Prefecture and Xiao County, the people in the city and the villages outside the city, after the recruitment, the whole family moved to the southwest of Hejiazhuang to do work, here has now been built a large weaving field, outside the weaving field is the residence of the weavers, everywhere is a neat and continuous new village.
In addition to the weaving yard, the ironware factory is also recruiting labor, and there is also a great demand for manpower in the port and wood yard in Haizhou, and Zhao Ziying's grange in Shandong is also recruiting the people of Xuzhou to enrich the past.
Then in the demarcated area, if you want to continue to live, Zhao Ziying has to charge a variety of fees such as "safe practice", "flood control practice", "maintenance practice", etc., and the means of scraping the ground are much stronger than that of the government, but as long as you don't live in this area, these fees will not be charged immediately.
Anyone can understand Zhao Ziying's intentions, this is to transfer the population of Xuzhou Prefecture and Xiaoxian County as much as possible, the population of these two places adds up to nearly 200,000, such a migration is a huge cost, involving a heavy matter, although the people of Xuzhou have realized that work is better than farming, and it is better to work hard in Hejiazhuang than in Xuzhou, but it is still difficult for many people to understand, and many people are difficult to leave.
The common people are suffering in the city, Zhao Ziying gives them a better livelihood and a way out, in order to support their families, they can't talk about their homeland, the best example is the winery, the three big wineries in Xuzhou City are moved to Dangshan, the winery promised to take it with them, and after the house, few are willing to stay, this time the weaving yard and the workshop recruitment, many people may not be willing, but know how to choose.
