On January 7, after the New Year, Lanling County got another piece of good news.

"Tell your lord! The people of Giant Whale Island are coming to surrender with the county guard, because Jiang Zi is trying to abandon the island and escape, and his subordinates are all rebelling! ”

Wang Lanling felt a little surprised, he didn't think about this, mainly because he thought that Jiang Zizheng would be able to leave here smoothly, and he didn't think about anything else.

"In this way, it seems that he is usually too bad for his subordinates, and his subordinates have complaints."

Wang Lanling felt that there was no risk in escaping, the technology of the empire's ships was not bad, and it was actually safe to sail along the coast.

"Is anyone coming?" Wang Lanling wanted to know more specific things.

The messenger quickly said, "Yes! Hai Kuotian, the guard of Giant Whale Island, personally came over with his humble duties, while Jiang Zizheng's family was escorted on the road by soldiers and arrived later. ”

Wang Lanling stood up and said, "You and I will go out to greet you." ”

"Yes!" Gong Yueman and the others quickly got up and walked together.

After winning the battle against the imperial army, the morale of the army, the people, and the officials of Lanling County temporarily stabilized, and the line of struggle with Wang Lanling as the core was firm.

There are more and more people who come to take refuge, and there are actually not many talents in Shanhai County, who have been abandoned pioneers for decades, and some people have long been full of complaints about the imperial court.

In addition, the treatment here is really good, many people quickly call for friends after coming, and through the good road system, more and more people are recruited to come.

When there are more people, there are talents, and Wang Lanling is a meritocrat, and he also needs people to help him manage the vast territory of four million people.

Hai Kuotian is a man in his forties, wearing shabby cotton clothes, although the Jiang family has gotten a lot of benefits from Wang Lanling, but the Jiang family all over the world thinks that it is a good quality for his subordinates to endure hardships.

Therefore, Giant Whale Island has not enjoyed the benefits of scientific and technological progress, and how much money Jiang Zizheng is greedy for is his own business, and it has nothing to do with his subordinates.

Some people always think that if their subordinates have not seen the world, they will not have ambitions, and they will continue to live their previous lives day after day.

The truth is true, but not everyone can provide this kind of stable life day after day, and one day it will be overturned by people outside.

The general procedure is to wait here in the communication room first, put the guns and weapons on your body here for safekeeping, and then wait for Lord Wang to decide whether to summon or not.

Hai Kuotian was sitting next to the radiator here in the communication room, and when he leaned against the heater and looked at this extremely luxurious-looking room, he heard footsteps outside.

Hai Kuotian quickly stood up, and after more than ten seconds, he saw a young man wearing a military coat, as well as a number of scribes and generals who seemed to be officials, appeared at the door.

Wang Lanling glanced at the communication room, and quickly said with a smile: "This is too small, general, please come out, come with me to see the outside world, please." ”

Wang Lanling invited Hai Kuotian to come out, and at the same time, the hundreds of cadres behind Wang Lanling quickly got out of the way.

Forget it if you change it to an ordinary person, for the kind of martial arts master who is a great grandmaster at a glance, Wang Lanling really doesn't have the courage to be in the same room.

High martial arts does not mean that the ability to protect others is also high, Wang Lanling's subordinates basically know how to do kung fu, but in this communication room, which is not particularly large, it is really three steps of blood, and the world is shocked.

Hai Kuotian had no idea of hitting Wang Lanling at all, he quickly knelt down and said, "Yes!" Descend to the sea and open the sky to meet the Marquis of Lanling! ”

Wang Lanling behaved very calmly.

"The Marquis of Lanling is a thing of the past, my current title has nothing to do with the imperial court, if you want to continue to bow down to the imperial court and continue to work under the Jiang family, I will not be reluctant."

"You don't need to bow down to anyone here, please come with me to the main hall to speak."

Hai Kuotian quickly stood up and bowed in response: "Yes!" ”

The group soon arrived at the meeting hall of the county government.

Wang Lanling sat on the main seat, and Hai Kuotian sat on the seat farthest away from Wang Lanling, but could face Wang Lanling.

Near Wang Lanling, there are many cadres in Lanling County, and two meters behind the cadres, there are soldiers standing guard.

From some of the people who surrendered, Wang Lanling already knew that before he rebelled, the people of Jinshan County and Muzhou Mansion wanted to assassinate him, so they cherished their own lives even more.

So far, Wang Lanling has not established a system that can continue to develop, he has only opened up the wisdom of some people, if he dies, it will be difficult for these people to continue to continue the goal set by Wang Lanling.

Even if they are united, it is estimated that they will use Rengui or Boyan to embark on the old feudal road.

So Wang Lanling knows very well that the most important thing here is himself, he is gone, everything is empty talk.

Hai Kuotian didn't know Lord Wang's caution, he only felt that he was valued at this time, and he experienced the luxurious treatment that only the famous generals in the story could have.

"Lord Qiqi, there are 27,000 soldiers and 450,000 people on Giant Whale Island, and there are firearms factories, ship repair shipyards, fishing grounds, and tanneries on the island."

When Wang Lanling heard this, he said: "I see, what I heard before was that there were more than 100,000 people there, and in the past ten years, there have been four or five hundred thousand people. ”

Hai Kuotian quickly said: "It's all a good thing done by the previous county guards, our people there can't eat enough, every family can't support a few children after giving birth, the grain planted has been taken away, and the soldier's salary has been in arrears for many years!" ”

There is no harm if there is no comparison, Jiang Zizheng has successfully completed the peaceful evolution, and forcibly pulled more than 100,000 people from the level of rich landlords to the level of poor households, but the appearance of Wang Lanling has made many people find that they are not living a life of human beings!

No matter how closed the news of Giant Whale Island is, it can't stand Wang Lanling from sending people to the island to bribe Jiang Zizheng several times, and these few times it has disturbed the morale of the military and the people.

These islanders are all frogs at the bottom of the well, and they only see the bitter salt workers in the salt drying field next to them, so they also think that the outside world is like this.

In fact, Giant Whale Island is much better than Shanhai County, although it also belongs to the cold area, but it is much warmer than Shanhai County, the winter is not so long, and the area is about the same as Hainan Island, but it is colder.

Because the old man dies quickly in the cold zone, the generation on Giant Whale Island is basically young and native.

This time Jiang Zi was running away, and his subordinates didn't know how good Longzhou was, and they couldn't understand what kind of thoughts and feelings it was to go to the dragon boat to enjoy happiness, and they didn't feel that they were following Jiang Zizheng to escape by boat to Lanzhou, which they didn't know, so they all reversed.

Those who can't survive during the Chinese New Year have even more thoughts of rebellion.

Wang Lanling nodded and said: "Like a righteous man like a general who thinks about the people, we will naturally not forget your merits. ”

"I'll send someone to send some food and clothing over now, whether it is an officer or an ordinary person, there must always be a cotton suit to keep warm, officers like you have been treated so harshly by those people, you can imagine how bitter the people on the island are."

Hai Kuotian said with tears in his eyes: "The whole island is looking forward to Wang Shi for a long time! ”
