Chapter 1192: The Taigong of the Shang Family

Yang Zhaoji, the chief soldier of the Daimyo Army, has rushed out with the escort horse team, and most of the Xuanfu horse team has fled, and the Shanxi border army has experienced on the battlefield in the end, as soon as the cannon sounded, the Shanxi border army began to kill the north gate, and killed the two roads of Henan and Shandong, and grabbed a way for themselves, when they rushed out, the Xuzhou regimental training had not yet arrived, but they only had dozens of horses to escape, and the other foot soldiers watched Xuzhou come up bravely, and decisively knelt down and surrendered, without any fighting, and no one died in the battle.

The most unfortunate thing is the regimental training of Weihui Mansion, their morale is much stronger than that of ordinary officers and soldiers, but the name of this Luwang Mansion can't scare those general adjutant generals and generals, looking at the strength is good, they were directly arranged to the east of the Zhuang Wall, let them and Xuzhou soldiers and horses to fight hard, if they can meet it, it is good to say, but they were directly defeated in the shelling, only one hundred and ten people escaped, and the surrender of physical and mental collapse, a few have been frightened crazy.

The officers and soldiers can escape, but Shangjiazhuang can't escape, their roots are in this Shangjiazhuang, as well as the fields and industries around this Shangjiazhuang, leaving this, Shangjiazhuang has any meaning, so the three who go are famous, and they may be able to make progress in their careers in the future, and the people who stay are the majority, not that they are reluctant to go, but realize that they can't go, the officers and soldiers have been defeated like this, and where can they escape, I am afraid that they will be caught by others and come over to ask for rewards.

"Master Jin, the princess of the Shang family asked to see him, and said that he had a few important words and wanted to report it." A family member came to ask for instructions.

Zhao Jin was riding on a horse to inspect the battlefield, making arrangements at any time, hearing the words of the family, Zhao Jin nodded, got off the horse and waited, when the fight began, he felt that everything was very fast, but after the fierce battle, he felt that this Shangjiazhuang was still not small, it could be stuffed into the earthen fortress of 20,000 people, and there were sufficient supplies and storage, of course, it would not be too small.

Yucheng County, near Shangjiazhuang, has a population of only more than 20,000, and the nearby Xiayi County and Yongcheng County are like this, and there are only more than 40,000 people in Shangqiu County, Fucheng, and the Zhuangzi Fort of a wealthy family can actually reach a similar scale, and there are more than 20 such Zhuangzi Fort in the area of Guide Prefecture, which is just a manor for the gentry, but in fact this is the real local government, and the life and death of the surrounding people and households are determined by these manors, and then these manors are the masters of the area they control.

In the peaceful season, these wealthy clans and the government sent down by the imperial court to govern the place, exploit and share the fertilizer, once the troubled times, these wealthy clans will rely on the manor and fortress to divide the land, or seek self-existence, or annex the vertical and horizontal, the ambition is getting bigger and bigger, they are the real big harm in the place, with them, no one can go deep into the people, there is no way to completely mobilize manpower and material resources, can only negotiate with them, delineate the share.

Regardless of their current relationship with Zhao Ziying, in the long run, Zhao Ziying will not allow them to exist, although Zhao Ziying and them have something in common at the moment.

Zhao Jin was thinking there, the prince of the Shang family had been brought over, and he could see that the prince of the Shang family was followed by two people, looking like a lady of the lady, the prince of the merchant was seventy-five years old this year, and his foundation Zhao Jin knew very well that in fact, there was no need for internal guards to investigate, and there were enough rumors.

The prince of the Shang family has a position of commander of the Suiyang guard, but the ancestors have not been able to get the position of steward for several generations, and they have been defeated from generation to generation, and the generation of the prince of the Shang family has guarded a hundred acres of land, and only the prince of the Shang family and his younger brother are struggling to survive, and the hundred acres of land are still forcibly occupied by a thousand households in the guard to do private land.

At that time, the younger brother of the grandfather of the family was studying, and seeing that the family was difficult, he was ready to give up his studies and come back to farm as a tenant together, but the grandfather of the Shang family beat his younger brother to let him study with peace of mind, and he went out to make a living, some people said that he went to traffick illicit salt, and some people said that he went to the grass for Kou, anyway, he has been providing for his younger brother to be admitted to Xiucai, and the fame of Xiucai is not in the eyes of the commander of Qianhu and others, but the rent of this hundred acres of land has been reduced by thirty percent, and there are deputy Qianhu who wants to recruit the younger brother of the Taigong of the Shang family as a son-in-law.

However, the prince of the Shang family let his younger brother marry the only daughter of a Xiucai in Yucheng County, this Xiucai's family is well-off, and he can be regarded as a wealthy family in Yucheng County, his younger brother went out to study after half a year of marriage, only to go for a month, and his wife returned to his parents' house, but he entered the thief in the middle of the night, and the whole family was killed by the thieves, and the floating wealth was also robbed.

This Xiucai family has a cousin, and he also has to come over to compete for the family property, but two days later, when he was walking, he was covered and broke his two legs, and the family was also thrown into a dead dog, and he immediately did not dare to continue to fight for property.

The weight of a person is amazing, and even more on the rumors behind the Shang family, after gaining fame, the hundred acres of land will be returned immediately, but the two Shang brothers refused to give up, a complaint hit the city of Guide Fucheng, and went to the provincial capital, the thousand households had to admit planting, and cut out half of the field, in fact, these thousand households were also ready to be ruthless, never thought that the Shang family Taigong could also gather more than 100 Ding Zhuang to fight, so he could only admit it.

At this time, the Shang family has begun to take advantage of the two places in Yucheng County and Xiayi County, and used relatively generous conditions to attract a group of military households in the guard, adding to each other, and becoming a tyrant in the local area, in exchange for many people, this should be a blessing in the fish and meat township, but the Shang family has always urged his younger brother to go to school to test for fame, and after taking the exam twice, he got the Jinshi, first to go out to the county, and then return to the household department to be an official, and finally to be a four-grade Zhishi.

After the Jinshi, the Shang family can already run rampant in the Guide Mansion, the two brothers help each other, the Shang family Taigong got the real shortage of the Wei house, the younger brother relied on the money supplied by the family, and handed over in the Beijing Division, so that the Shang family was more powerful in the local area, and when the younger brother of the Shang family Taigong became the Beijing official Qingliu, even the Guide prefect had to be polite to each other, not to mention others, Suiyang Wei inexplicably died two commanders, and the commander who forcibly occupied the Shang family's field also died in vain.

In this way, year after year, the Shang family has such a scale, the Shang family has an ancestral training, no one in the family can enjoy peace, a martial arts is ready to inherit the post of the guard, and a scholar of literature and science is famous for the family to provide shelter, such a civil and military situation, there are officials on the official face, and there are people in the local area, so it is naturally more and more inflated.

Now the Taigong of the Shang family is already the generation of the great-grandfather, the grandchildren already have two lifters, and the children and nephews are three lifters and a jinshi, Suiyangwei's management of the fact is firmly maintained in the hands of the Shang family, two-thirds of the fields in Yucheng County and one-third of the fields in Xiayi County are in the hands of the Shang family, and they are the number one wealthy family in the place.

But the Shang family is not the sole hegemon in Guide Mansion, and in Suiyang Wei also has to share the real lack of this management with several families, because in Guide Mansion, or in the whole of Henan, most of the local tyrants are like this, Wei was born as a world official, and then his children studied for the imperial examination to achieve fame, each other is Olympic aid, support each other, and make the scale of the family business bigger and bigger.

This is also a special place in Henan, if there is no local strength, no official support, it is easy to be annexed and annexed by the vassal king, the king of the Ming Dynasty, etc., it is a more fierce and huge monster, if it is not for a tyrant like the Shang family, there is no scum left that has been swallowed a long time ago, and the Guide Mansion is such a dozen large and small tyrants in charge.

"The government peels off a layer, they have to peel off a layer, if you count the officials and servants, then you have to count the first layer, some places in Henan also have to count the vassal kings, that is, the fourth layer, so peel off the layer, the people have nothing left, either to be cattle and horses, or to flee, in such a situation, they can't mobilize real combat power, and they can't compete with us." Zhang Hubin also came to Zhao Jin's side, and Zhao Jin explained in detail.

"In the place where Xuzhou controls zhì, there is only our layer, we go deeper, as much as possible to avoid the increase in the middle, and then we also prosper industry and commerce, in addition to scraping the land, another source of wealth, and this source of wealth is far greater than the income from farming, this is where our Zhao Ziying is strong, the same hundred farmers, we can mobilize dozens of men at any time, and they can't, they can't delay the farming, otherwise there will be nothing."

Just now, it was like this, everyone was bloodstained and dusty, but this Shang family prince was not very contaminated, and the two women he brought with him were also very clean, and he could even see that he had deliberately dressed up before coming, and they were actually twin sisters with outstanding appearance, looking sixteen or seventeen years old, which made people very eye-catching.

"Everyone is beautiful, they have been providing for them since they were children, and they don't worry about anything to eat and wear, and they know how to dress up, so they naturally look good, Hubin, do you remember when we passed by those villages? What are the girls like in there? Zhao Jin sighed with emotion, and then asked Zhang Hubin.

"The face is yellow and thin, and I can't see men and women, that is, the Zhuang Ding of our own grange looks decent." Zhang Hubin replied decently.

Zhao Jin and Zhang Hubin's question and answer did not whisper, and the frightened Shang family prince flashed a relaxed look on his face after hearing it, but the twin sisters were terrified, but they couldn't help but look at Zhao Jin, these three people had one thing in common, and they were all quite surprised by Zhao Jin's age.

"If you have anything to say, can you just say it?" Zhao Jin said to the prince of the Shang family.
