Dolbo didn't ask any more, he sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that half of the three thousand elite spearmen under the command of Elu have been lost in half of this battle...... The cost is too great. ”

Shen Zhiyuan said disapprenorovingly, "It is said that it is my old department, but in fact, it is not, nearly half of them are Qian Qiaogong's people, they are unwilling to obey my orders on weekdays in the capital, and after hearing that Qian Qiaogong returned to Wu Zheng, it is even more unbearable. ”

Dolbo was still unwilling to say: "Having said that, the six hundred cavalry killed in Huling ...... It's so wronged. ”

Shen Zhiyuan's face darkened and said, "This is ...... Accidentally. Who would have thought that Yue Xiaolin would be so reckless...... It is Zhiyuan's mistake, please punish the prince. ”

Dolbo hurriedly shook his hand and said: "The wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there is still one mistake, not to mention that the forehead is already a last resort...... Don't blame yourself too much for this. ”

Speaking of this, Dolbo changed the subject again and said: "I don't pity the 600 people who voted for Wu Zheng, it's a pity that they brought war horses and firearms...... These firearms cost Amma a lot of energy and money. ”

Shen Zhiyuan looked at Dolbo and said, "Don't worry, there are some incense fires, and we can get double or even several times the return in the future." ”

Dolbo perked up and asked, "Is the forehead really sure?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan smiled slightly and said: "Success is in human favor, and defeat is also in human favor." ”

"In that case, we can let Sonny and Suke Saha go to Xuzhou?"

"It's time."

……。

Pei county. Pei County, which has experienced the war, can be said to be a mess.

However, the spirit of the people in the city is high.

Under the noses of the people, the Northern Expeditionary Army defeated more with less, and defeated the strong with the weak.

In the eyes of the people, what else is there to worry about in the Northern Expedition, it's time to reopen the world!

The people enthusiastically offered their rice, livestock, vegetables and fruits to reward the soldiers.

The victory of the Northern Expeditionary Army made them proud.

However, what really makes them happy is that with Wu Zheng's "Land Reform Order", this order really allows these people who have no land, or who have taken the initiative to "donate" land to Haoqiang, get the land they have been looking forward to for a long time, and the land that has been lost and regained.

No one will, willing to take the initiative to Haoqiang to "donate" the land they rely on for survival, donation, in order to evade taxes, only by hanging the land in the name of these tax-exempt Haoqiang, the people can avoid the overwhelmed taxes, but they must pay no less than half of the tax to Haoqiang, and Haoqiang, is to do no capital business, they can sit back and enjoy the results.

The poor must have something to hate, and the people avoided taxes in this way, causing the collapse of the imperial court's finances, which in turn would impose these swallowed taxes on them in a different way.

This is a vicious circle, the Ming Dynasty, this is how it was dragged down.

The real benefits are still those who will never have to pay taxes.

But this is not something that ordinary people can solve, they have no intention, but they do do become powerful accomplices.

However, Wu Zheng's "land reform order" forcibly solved this problem, redivided the land according to the capitation, and reduced half of the agricultural tax, which was the most hateful decree, which was forcibly implemented by Wu Zheng's Northern Expeditionary Army in Xuzhou Prefecture.

God knows, does Wu Zheng dare to do this on his own turf? Can't!

Wu Zheng didn't really dare, nor did he not want to, but the time had not yet come.

If the land reform is really implemented in Hangzhou Prefecture, I am afraid that in three or five years, the Northern Expeditionary Army will not need the Northern Expedition and will stay in Hangzhou Fu'an.

Wu Zheng is ruthless enough, and he can't do it in his own territory, so he will do it in the newly attached Xuzhou, and first make some famous names and create a group of vested interest groups, then, even if Xuzhou finally changes hands, unless the Qing court is willing to continue to implement the land reform order, otherwise, it will be a big chaos!

The people don't care which regime implements the land reform order, they only know that the land reform order has benefited them, so they have to carry it out, and if it is abolished, it will be to cut their flesh and resist!

This is Wu Zheng's intention, if he can't kill the Qing court for a while, he will also disgust them.

A regime that is often in civil strife will never be strong, and this has nothing to do with the political system, in fact, the power system is more efficient in many cases, and the key is to have a bold and far-sighted king.

Compared with Huai'an Mansion, the attitude of the people of Xuzhou Mansion towards the Northern Expedition is very different.

Another reason for this is that the composition of the people of the two provinces is different, most of the former components are the family members of the original Huai'an Erwei, and the congenital and the second guard are on the same front, but fortunately, the second guard surrendered later, which allowed the Northern Expeditionary Army to gain a firm foothold in Huai'an City, otherwise, the turmoil one after another is enough for Wu Zheng to have a headache.

Wu Zheng had no intention of the enthusiastic carnival of the people of Peixian County at this time, and at this time, he was facing this yellow camel who suddenly returned with six hundred spear horsemen.

Wu Zheng really couldn't figure it out, what did Shen Zhiyuan think...... What do you want?

"Lord Qian, Lord Shen wants to pass the word on his humble position, among the more than 1,000 lancers of Lord Qian, these 600 people are Lord Qian's henchmen, since Lord Qian has returned, then these relatives must also be returned to Zhao ......."

Qian Qiaogong rubbed his hands a little excitedly, he was short of veterans, and the arrival of this old cavalry could allow him to form the Wind Thunder Cavalry and the Xiaolin Heavy Cavalry faster.

However, Wu Zheng thought further, "What does he want?" ”

The yellow camel was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Lord Shen said...... If the prince is willing to give up Xuzhou, he can guarantee that the Dolbo forces will definitely be safe with the prince. ”

"Oh?" Wu Zheng's eyes seemed to dim. Perhaps, he would like to hear a sentence "I am in Cao Ying, my heart is in Han" coming out of the mouth of the yellow camel.

Xuzhou, it turns out that he just wants to change Xuzhou? Take 600 horses in exchange for Xuzhou, he really played a good calculation!

Wu Zheng couldn't help but be a little annoyed, in the past, he was small, but he played tricks with himself and started business, could it be that the thing "love", whether it is male or female, whether ancient or modern, will change with time and identity?

The yellow camel continued: "...... Lord Shen said that after this war, it may not be easy for the prince to buy ore and timber from the north, and the sale of tea, firearms, and clothing to the north will also be restricted by the Qing court...... But as long as Dolbo's forces exist, all this will ...... as before. ”

Wu Zheng gradually understood that Shen Zhiyuan was indeed born to his father Shen Jincai, and he was born to do business.

But I have to say that this proposal moved Wu Zheng a little.

The Northern Expeditionary Army has already gnawed out its fangs, although the Qing court was not unaware of it before, but at this time, it has torn its face, and it will naturally interfere and restrict the trade between the north and the south, which is obviously not in its own interests.

Until a better source of raw materials is found, Shen Zhiyuan's proposal is very attractive.

"What else does he want?"

“…… Ask for firearms. ”

"Insatiable!" Wu Zheng shouted in annoyance.
