Chapter 316: Unexpected, Where is the ambition

There are two farms standing in Guide Mansion, and everything is very different. At the beginning, Li Zhenhai thought that the Shandong business was a fool. When the war was in chaos, it was justified to buy more gold and silver in his hands. How to buy land to cultivate?

Who would have thought that Shandong had two thousand unified operations and was solemn and stern, "refugees" "farmed" in the fields on the north and south sides of the Yellow River, and at the same time absorbed the landless refugees in Henan as Zhuang Ding.

The government is naturally happy to see such a farm, but it cannot provide any protection. Although Li Zhenhai and his group are rich in Guide Mansion, they are not able to suppress the entire Guide Mansion. Many people have to cross the border to make money, and they are powerless.

Moreover, Li Zhenhai and his group of people were waiting for outsiders to open these two farms and then pick up cheap ones. After all, oxen and farm tools are all in short supply at this time.

After Lingshan Trading Company sold a large number of weapons to Li Zhenhai and others, Li Zhenhai defeated two thieves who were intending to enter their own territory. He also thought that his strength had become stronger and his mind gradually became wild.

Before Li Zicheng returned to Henan, Lao Dangdang wanted to enter Guide, and the two places that were the first to be hit were the two farms. According to the so-called rules on the Tao, Lao Dangdang also sent someone to inform Li Zhenhai, saying that he wanted to enter your Guide Mansion to seek food, and hoped that his brothers would be able to do it.

Li Zhenhai refused this on the surface, but arranged an envoy to find the other party in private, saying that if the scope was limited to those two farms, Li Zhenhai would not interfere.

The purpose of the old Dangdang is to these two farms. In the chaotic and poor Henan, these two farms have become mouth-watering fat meat.

At this time, the farm was only half a year old. Lao Dangdang led nearly 30,000 people to come. The farm actually mobilized more than 5,000 people to fight. The core was naturally the two thousand "refugees" from Shandong.

The battle was short and it took a whole morning. Thirty thousand refugees were beaten by 2,000 professional soldiers and more than 3,000 armed farmers on the scale. More than 10,000 people were captured. Lao Dangdang and hundreds of subordinates ran back to the Kaifeng Prefecture area. This battle was not recorded in the official archives.

If you want to check it out in detail, you may only find it in some unofficial records, saying that there was a fight between the people in Guide Prefecture at a certain time.

After this battle, all the forces of Guide Mansion, all the big and small, knew who Guide Mansion had the greatest strength now, and Li Zhenhai was also stunned. According to the combat power shown in the battle with Lao Dangdang, it would be easy for these two soldiers from the farm to destroy him.

I was really frightened when I remembered that I had made a decision on land in the past, but Lingshan Trading Company seemed to have no idea about this and continued to provide Li Zhenhai with weapons and various supplies he needed.

Although the military force of the Tuntian Village was powerful, it was not aggressive. The force was only used to protect it, and the more than 10,000 prisoners were also assigned to slaves. They cultivated on the land outside the Tuntian Village and the Tuntian Village. Li Zhenhai was also the biggest force in Guide Mansion, and there were still officers, soldiers and bandits watching around.

Li Zhenhai needed a large number of weapons and supplies to maintain his armed forces. Lingshan Trading Company had a great appetite. Most of the unowned land in Guide Mansion was turned into land and land. Since it was for unowned land to be replaced with weapons and supplies, the price was naturally very low. The fields that the Jia family could move quickly were not enough. Those unowned lands were fine, so they could not move the industries of the rich landlords.

There is no land. Lingshan Trading Company began to demand population, and a large number of unowned land. Even if there are more than 10,000 serfs and recruited large number of refugees, the manpower will gradually be insufficient. The conditions for Lingshan Trading Company and Li Zhenhai are that if the refugees are caught in the military farm and become military farms, they can still be discounted for the money in exchange for various products he needs.

Henan has never shortage of refugees. After hearing this, Li Zhenhai first cleared the entire Guide Mansion. Many small and medium-sized refugee teams were defeated by him and sent to the Tuntian Village.

The military farm is a melting pot. When refugees enter it, they will become semi-serfs who abide by the rules and work hard to make ends meet. If they wander outside, they will have the possibility of starving to death at any time. These semi-serfs and serfs will be selected as members of the village guard team.

At the same time as the hard military training site, the treatment will also improve accordingly. The Zhuang Ding, who entered the village protection team, was already devoted to the military farmland.

The strength of the Tuntian Village increased like a snowball. However, Li Zhenhai was responsible for doing the foreign war. Li Zhenhai and his group arrested refugees everywhere and sent them to the Tuntian Village. Soon, the refugees took the initiative to find the Tuntian Village to join.

Whether it was selling land deeds to Lingshan Trading Company or arresting refugees to pay off gold and silver, Li Zhenhai and his gang had no obvious strength growth, and the supplies of weapons were consumed in foreign and large battles against the mainland.

Moreover, Li Zhenhai discovered that even the farmers controlled by his subordinates had gone to the Tuntianzhuang to be tenants, which was equivalent to reducing his strength.

But he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with the two Zhuangzis of Guide Mansion. The other party's strength has now expanded greatly. It would be extremely easy to eat him, Li Zhenhai.

The key to the problem is that Li Zhenhai also needs to buy weapons and supplies with Lingshan Trading Company. The battle between the internal and external forces will make Li Zhenhai become enemies with the forces of all parties. He also has his own family and family business in Tuocheng to protect. If he wants to let go now, he will be dead.

Moreover, the refugee brigades outside Guide Mansion also saw the cheapness. As long as they did not pass by the direction of the two farms and came to attack other places, they would not care about the farms.

There are many refugee gangs in Henan, but these gangs are not united and there is no question of unity. Some are poor people gather together, some are local tycoons gather to protect themselves, and some are related to the White Lotus Sect and other sects, attacking and annexing each other.

Li Zhenhai is not very powerful. The Guide Mansion is still calm and is regarded as a place with oil and water, especially the canals that are close to the canal and are adjacent to Shandong and Nanzhili provinces. It is very valuable in terms of territory and location. The refugee gangs in Kaifeng and Runing are all staring at this place.

Since the military farm cannot be touched, it is also good to swallow Li Zhenhai's group and have a place to settle in Guide Mansion. Although Li Zhenhai bought excellent weapons from Lingshan Trading Company, he still retreated step by step in the face of fierce enemies, not to mention that the officers and soldiers also wanted to suppress the thieves.

The helpless Li Zhenhai had to ask for help from Lingshan Trading Company, saying whether the Tuntian Village guard team could provide support. Lingshan Trading Company was responsible for contacting Li Zhenhai's shopkeeper, who was in charge of contacting Li Zhenhai. At least Li Zhenhai felt this way at that time, and the shopkeeper said that Tuntian Village had little relationship with the Trading Company.

After saying this, Li Zhenhai almost wanted to draw a knife to kill people. Of course, the shopkeeper's leader was all murderous intent, and he didn't look like a good person. If he draws a knife, he might not be killed by anyone. After the shopkeeper of Lingshan Trading Company rejected Li Zhenhai's request, he "kindly" made another suggestion. Your soldiers under him have no combat power. There are some retired soldiers from the army in my Lingshan Trading Company. How about training?

Even though I knew it was poison, I had to close my eyes and swallow it, otherwise my family business would be destroyed, so I had to pinch my nose and accept these "old men" who were less than thirty years old.

The old soldiers entered his army less than two months ago, and the situation was very different. Li Zhenhai found that the people under his command of the villages were brave, and suddenly they looked like an army.

Since then, Li Zhenhai has never suffered any losses when fighting outside, and has won several battles. The refugees and thieves in the surrounding prefectures and counties no longer dare to come to attack Guide Mansion.

However, the land was indeed poisonous. Li Zhenhai found that he could no longer control his subordinates' arms. Lingshan Trading Company began to issue orders to him in the form of "suggestions". Li Zhenhai did not dare to ignore it. It was still a trivial matter to cut off supplies. It was inevitable that someone would cut off his head when he was sleeping.

The entire Guide Mansion gradually became a vassal in Shandong. It took about a year to go. Lingshan Trading Company was not a good person in the eyes of the rich people in these places, but a monster. This monster can sell you any banned materials, but you only need to have some relationship with this monster.

Lingshan Trading Company will gradually penetrate in. At that time, the things that Lingshan Trading Company will give you will be from Lingshan Trading Company, and your land will also become from Lingshan Trading Company.

This method of controlling localities through economy was used to Li Meng in the trading of private salt, but was learned by Lingshan Trading Company.

At the beginning, Li Zhenhai was not convinced and always planned to endure it. He then made plans when he had the opportunity.

Guide Mansion is close to Kaifeng Mansion, and the news is circulating quickly. After the news that Li Meng had 20,000 soldiers defeated the thieves and 100,000 soldiers, Li Zhenhai immediately had no intention of not being dissatisfied.

News on land is always slightly faster than water. When Li Mengdi Shandong soldiers were sailing south, thousands of left-hand soldiers on both sides of the official road in front of Zhaopizhai Ferry were nailed to death. This incident also reached Li Zhenhai's ears.

King of Chuang and Zuo Liangyu, these are all existences that Li Zhenhai needs to look up to, but they were defeated by the Shandong soldiers under Li Meng. This ending made Li Zhenhai's unyielding intentions disappear and he was trembling.

The most important thing for him now is not to save his own strength, but to save his life. He only now knows that if Shandong wants to deal with him, it is like killing an ant.

So on the way back to Shandong, Li Zhenhai hurriedly told Lingshan Trading Company that he wanted to surrender, but he did not surrender to Guide Mansion, but to the Shandong general.

Not to mention that a leader of a thief wanted to recruit an amnesty, he was in contact with the business bank. This fact was ridiculous, but both sides took it for granted and immediately chased him along the Yellow River and the canal transport. He soon contacted Li Meng on the ship.

After Li Zhenhai was recruited, he should be called Jia Dashan. Although his power was insignificant to the Jiaozhou Camp, Li Meng had read the articles of Lingshan Trading Company. Jia Dashan's subordinates were known to have more than 10,000 soldiers, but after training, there were only more than 1,000 people who could meet the standard of ordinary soldiers in Jiaozhou Camp, which was the size of a battalion.

With such strength, Jiaozhou Camp recruits soldiers in Shandong and can be summoned from a village in a few hours. However, Jia Dashan is a wealthy family in Guide Mansion, and his surrender shows that Guide Mansion has completely entered its own control. Under the complex situation in Henan, it is extremely important to have such a bridgehead that has emerged.

Li Meng was very satisfied with his subordinates. He once mentioned that the army relied on water transport, and Shandong troops went to all directions. What they relied on was the canal transport, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. At the same time, they should also beware of the other party coming from these places and controlling Guide Mansion. It happened to be the road from the Yellow River to Shandong and the Huaihe River, so Guide Mansion should find a way to control it.

After he finished his order, he thought he was waiting for the chaos in Guide Mansion. Shandong soldiers and horses entered in the name of quelling the chaos, just like the current two Huaihe land. Who would have thought that Lingshan Commercial Bank and the Tuntianzhuang would not use weapons and use this economic method to accomplish this. It was really surprising.

Jia Dashan arrived in Jiningzhou one day earlier than Li Meng. Jia Dashan is also a powerful man in Henan. He has seen a role in the market, but after coming to Jiningzhou, he still sighed that Henan is so chaotic, but Shandong is so peaceful. Jiningzhou is even more prosperous and prosperous.

It was the world of Ming Dynasty, why is Shandong like a paradise, and Henan like hell? It is really unbalanced. Jia Dashan has a lot of words to deal with Lingshan Trading and Tengtianzhuang. I also vaguely heard them say that on the ground of Shandong, there are all the governors, governors, and even those vassal kings. The only effective place is their general Li Dashu.

Jia Dashan often wondered if he surrendered to Li Meng and recruited him, could Guide Mansion become what he saw after entering Shandong?

After all, since the establishment of Tuntiantianzhuang in Guide Mansion, the chaotic places have become much more peaceful.

Thinking about seeing Li Meng the next day, Jia Dashan was really uneasy. Early the next morning, someone came to lead him to the Qing Military Hall to wait. This place turned out to be the yamen of Jining Guard. Later, the layoff was made, and when the troops from Jiaozhou camp were stationed, they regarded this place as an official hall.

After waiting in the side room for two hours, it was said that Li Dashan had arrived. Jia Dashan hurriedly went with the guards who came to greet him. Walking in the corridor of the Qing Military Hall, Jia Dashan suddenly felt a little discouraged. He was in his forties and should go home and live a good life. Why do you have so many thoughts? It is not easy to have peace in troubled times. It would be too much to ask for anything else.

The government recruits the government. There are 10,000 people who are recruited, and it is good that there are 500 people who can be recruited. Moreover, the leaders who are recruited are given a non-interesting official position. Jia Dashan doesn't want anything, just want the other party not to have too much appetite and just swallow himself in one breath.

As soon as he entered the main hall, the personal soldier flashed aside and whispered:

"Just Jia, my boss is here to join the head."

Jia Dashan looked up and found a young man sitting in the middle with some generals standing on both sides. Is this Li Dashen so young? Those generals are also young, but seeing these generals dressed in costumes, the last one should be the Qian Zong.

President Qian is not worth much elsewhere. The President Qian is almost a mess in the Ming army, but Shandong soldiers can be the leader of the first battalion of President Qian. Among the military farms in Guide Mansion, there is also a President Qian, with a very high status. Those who have seen themselves are extremely arrogant in front of the President Qian, are extremely respectful in front of the President Qian.

All the characters in this place have to stand at the bottom. It seems that the young man in the middle is indeed Marshal Li. Seeing that the other party is so young but has such a status, and he is in his forties and is just a thief leader. Jia Dashan was even more discouraged, and the person next to him urged him in a low voice.

He was suddenly shocked and knelt down quickly. While apologizing, he reported his name to his family, and said that he was obsessed with the evil spirit and deserved death. He only asked the general to be kind and give him a chance to reform himself.

Jia Dashan’s words are just common routines for recruiting peace. Those words that should be said were long ago. Since they can kowtow in this main hall, it must be the government that accepts recruiting and takes a formality.

Next, it's Li Meng's words, which are just words like mercy in the current saint. Jia Dashan knelt on the top, but heard the young man above say in a warm voice:

"Jia, a Tuocheng, Guide Mansion, has a loyal and righteous heart. The court should reward him highly to show his mighty reward tomorrow. I think he should be a garrison!"

Jia Dashan knelt there. When he heard the word "guarding", he no longer cared about the etiquette. He looked up at the young man in shock. The official of the garrison of what level was the garrison, and the big leader who was recruited with 50,000 troops was given the title of garrison.

At present, the soldiers and horses in my hands are almost all under the control of Shandong. So what's the strength at all? Why is he given such a high official title?

But no matter what the other party intends, giving this official title is equivalent to reaching the top of the sky. Although the Jia family is a big clan, no one has an official position. There are no clans in both civil and military affairs, so no matter how large the scale is, it is just a rich man.

But Jia Dashan was in garrison and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was glorious in his ancestors. Jia Dashan was stunned for a while, but burst into tears. He just kowtowed to the ground and thanked him.

As soon as Li Meng said this appointment, the military generals standing on both sides of the main hall were also a little surprised. Wang Hai was the chief of the personal barracks, and he was just a garrison position. "Li Zhenhai" Jia Dashan was just a surrendered general with a weak power. How could he have such a high position?

Jia Dashan kowtowed desperately, thanking Li Meng for his kindness with a crying voice. Originally, these things should be civil servants or internal supervisors. But on the ground in Shandong, how dare others reach out to these things? Since Li Meng was given a surrender, Jia Dashan was the kindness of Li Meng.

"Jia Shoujie's family is a prominent family in Guide Mansion, and they are good people. The reason why he went astray was because he was confused. Now Henan is extremely chaotic, and the same is true for the area of ​​Huaibei, Nanzhili. Such gentry went astray. Our imperial soldiers should have the intention to cure diseases and save people. Those who have repented must accept them happily..."

The generals had already figured it out that even if Jia Dashan was promoted to the garrison, he was at best an external general, without much real power. It was nothing to worry about.

But Li Meng's words made everyone a little confused. His own general is not a person who says the scene. However, after Li Meng finished speaking, he smiled and turned back to Yuan Wenhong behind him and said:

"Mr. Yuan, today's handling is written into a statement and hand it over to the place to be distributed in other places. We must do it with care!"

Yuan Wenhong nodded quickly and agreed. Most of the generals in the main hall were military generals who only knew how to fight. What Li Meng said just now was a little bit like that.

Jia Dashan was kneeling down in the hall and could no longer control himself. A rich man had seen any market, and at this time the high position of Chad was already so excited that he cried.

This sudden change in identity and status, and a person, even the family behind him, has changed his fate at this moment. How can ordinary people not react to this impact?

Most of the generals and officials standing in the main hall were humble from humble origins. They were all so glorious that they could not imagine that they could have today. Seeing Jia Dashan’s excitement, everyone felt a little moved, and for a moment, the exclusivity of the mind became much weaker.

Yuan Wenhong stood respectfully behind Li Meng, recalling the words that the silent reciter said just now, and considering what words to express them so that people in the local area can understand them.

Yuan Wenhong knew the allusion of a thousand-month horse bone. Jia Dashan, who had been taken down, was this "horse bone". This is indeed a very ordinary strategy.

However, Yuan Wenhong, who has always claimed to be smart, also praised that such ordinary strategies are indeed very effective when used here.

The provinces under the Ming Dynasty were under the jurisdiction of the provinces, and nearly half of them were in chaos. The refugees were seeking survival, the landlords protected themselves, and the government troops conquered and attacked each other. Several forces were entangled and grew and fell.

If Jiaozhou Camp wants to succeed, it would be too thin to rely on the land of Shandong Province, the people of the farmland and the tens of thousands of soldiers. If you want to take advantage of the chaos, Li Meng is now the general of the court and the official status, and naturally has an irreconcilable position with the bandits.

The officers and soldiers were subordinates of the court. Since Li Meng was the general of Shandong, he was demarcated. If he stretched out his hands to other places, it would be too ruthless.

The remaining land is the powerful people in this place. There were Donglin scholars in the imperial examination and many generals in the army. Except for Jiangnan and Zhili in the north and south, the landlords and powerful people in most places did not have any chance to enter the officialdom, and could only be a local tyrant for generations.

But these people are the real rulers of the local area. They have land and human resources to gather a large number of Zhuang Ding Township heroes. These powerful people are like fencemen. The court's righteousness and the division between officials and thieves are basically useless to them. Only those who are good for themselves will they be willing to follow.

But Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion, Zhang Xianzhong, and Cao Cao and Luo Rucai said that the soldiers and teams they led were extremely hated by the powerful landlords in the local area, and the refugees were like locusts and needed the food and grass stored in the homes of the powerful landlords to supply military supplies, so when both sides encountered it, they would definitely be a situation of dying.
To be continued...
