The breeze blows the tips of the willows, and the stars blink and bend over the crescent moon.

In the garden, the evening breeze is gentle and pleasant.

Hula, a basin of cold water poured down on your head. Water dripped, between the texture of the muscles and the hideous scars on the body, flowing.

Bang, it's another pot.

Zhu wiped the water from his face with his hand, shook his head, and laughed loudly, "Happy!" ”

In the garden, not only him, Dong Shuxiao, Xu Da, Tang He and others are there, as well as Mao Gui, who has not recovered from serious injuries.

After capturing Jiaozhou, I can finally take a breath. There was food, money, horses, and shelter.

But Zhu Chongba knows that anyone can take a breath, but he can't.

In Shandong, if you want to break the situation quickly, you can't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. If you can't take the city, you will start to hold on.

It is necessary to take the initiative to attack, create a safety zone around Jiaozhou, and create a piece of depth.

"Brothers in the army, how's it going?" Zhu Chongba asked as he wiped his head and face with a towel.

Xu Da said with a smile, "Brother Chong, you took out the treasury silver of the government to reward everyone, are you happy?" ”

After occupying Jiaozhou, the first thing Zhu Chongba did was to fulfill his promise. The gold and silver of the government in the city were not touched, and they all took it out to reward the three armies.

"What about the people?" Zhu Chongba asked again.

"The general manager's security notice posted, and he personally slaughtered some robbed ruffians, the Haozhou army and the people did not commit any crimes, the people are stable, and they praise each other!" Dong Shu smiled.

During the process of the army, many scoundrels took the opportunity to make trouble, and Zhu Chongba killed and killed, and the heads were rolling.

"Let's see, there are a lot of poor people in Shandong!" Zhu Chongba was shirtless, sat on the stone bench next to a few people, and said, "Damn, the tax of the imperial court is five out of ten, and I went to the imperial court, and there is also the rent of the squire and landlord, how do you live?" ”

Saying that, Zhu Chongba paused, "Before hitting Jiaozhou, we passed by those Zhuangzi, except for the big families, what kind of life did the people live?" We thought that the Huaixi people were bitter enough, and the damn Shandong people were just as bitter. Let's wonder, they are all good men, why don't they just do it? ”

"Not being able to survive and not being able to live are two different things!" Dong Junxiao said, "Moreover, Shandong is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and the people are naturally much more honest than other places after thousands of years of education!" ”

"Bullshit education!" Zhu Chongba sneered, "I can't even eat enough, what kind of education to talk about." In our opinion, we just didn't meet the leader! ”

said, looked at Tang He, "Go and ask the poor people, are there any rich landlords near Jiaozhou?" Kill a few, distribute their property to the poor people, and spread the slogan of our Haozhou red scarves to kill corrupt officials, equal land, and exempt from taxes.

Tang He responded to the order, Dong Luxiao wanted to say something, but he still held back.

Kill corrupt officials, all land, and be exempt from taxes, this is still his suggestion to Zhu Chongba. But at the same time, he also stressed the need to be kind to the gentry.

I just knew in my heart that for these rebellious poor men, being kind to the gentry was nothing more than empty words.

"Do we know what you're trying to say?" Zhu Chongba smiled at Dong Shuxiao and said, "We are foreigners, and if we want to stand on our feet, we must have the support of the poor." In this world, the poor are dissatisfied, and the spark can start a prairie fire, so we must be the one who ignites the fire in Shandong.

Treating the squire and landlord well is a matter of standing firm. Now be kind, he thinks we're afraid of them.

We are thieves, even if the damn ones give those old people a prince, people still think about the court.

The top priority is to expand the territory. ”

Dong Junxiao nodded, "What the chief manager said, sometimes thinking about things, is still the same as the imperial court officials!" ”

Speaking of which, he thought about it and continued, "The next battle, fight Laizhou?" ”

Zhu Chongba nodded, "Yes, Jiaozhou, after the Laizhou line is opened, let's directly attack Yidu." As he spoke, his wet hands drew lines on the stone table, "With these three places, we are not afraid of the counterattack of the Yuan army, and then Binzhou and Juzhou." Then, Jinan Mansion, our idea, within two months, swept across the Shandong Peninsula. ”

"Heavy eight!" Tang He groaned and said, "Don't be in such a hurry! ”

"It's not urgent, but fast, fierce, and the Yuan army will not dare to come." Zhu Chongba said, "And the more battles we win, the more local heroes in Shandong, the more they respond, the more they will follow." ”

Several people were silent, all thinking secretly, Dong Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile and nodded.

When he was a magistrate, he started by organizing regimental training to suppress the people's army. In the early days of the rebel army, it was not very strong.

Instead, the government was caught off guard, and there are too many poor people in the world, so the snowball is getting bigger and bigger.

But now Zhu Chongba is different, all his troops are elites who can fight well, and they have a program and slogans, and a clear combat intention.

In this way, the two months that swept across the peninsula are not empty words.

Just sweep easy, what about construction?

"It's easy to build a territory, it's hard to defend it, and it's even more difficult to build, I don't know how the governor plans to manage the population territory under his command in the future?" Dong Shuxiao asked with a smile.

Zhu Chongba smiled, "Lao Dong, you are good in Huai'an, bring it, Tuntian!" ”

"Great goodness!" Dong Shuxiao said with a smile.

"You think we've been idle for the past two days!" The corners of Zhu Chongba's mouth raised slightly, "We have asked a lot of demos in the past few days, there is a large piece of land in Jiaozhou that is an official, and in the hands of the temple, we will grab it for him."

In Jiaozhou, Laizhou and other places, tuntian fields were set up every 30 miles and distributed to the poor people for farming.

Or set up Bingtun, let's let a master in Jiaozhou calculate, just from Laizhou to Jiaozhou, more than 300 tuns can be built. ”

Speaking of which, "Let's plan, Meng Yuan's set of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be exempted, and the Yuan Court of the dog day will levy five out of ten!" Whether it's Guantian or Mintian, two out of ten are enough, just enough for the brothers to eat! ”

"Congratulations to the manager, in this way, Shandong's foundation can be successful!" Dong Shuxiao is colorful.

"However, the top priority now is to fight!" Zhu Chongba's words changed, "It's okay for the brothers to rest for two days." Tiande, how many war horses did Jiaozhou City get? ”

Xu Da Zhengse said, "Eight hundred and twenty war horses, seven hundred and sixty horses and mules. We can now muster a thousand cavalry in our army! ”

"Okay, there is a horse farm in Laizhou, and there are horses in Laizhou, and none of us are afraid!"

A few people were talking, and Zhou Dexing came in from outside.

"Why did you go, I didn't see you all night?" Zhu Chongba asked with a smile.

"I'm going to prison!" Zhou Dexing sat down and said with a smile, "His grandmother's land, the small Jiaozhou City, has more than 1,000 prisoners!" ”

Zhu Chongba ridiculed Dong Junxiao, "You just said that in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, the people are honest?" ”

"It's not petty theft!" Zhou Dexing continued, "When I ask, they are all heroes who kill people and set fires, rob squires and landlords, rob homes and houses, and resist donations and taxes!" ”

"Oh!" Zhu Chongba's eyes lit up, regardless of his bare shoulders, "Let's go, take a look!" ”

Shandong is indeed the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, with more rules than elsewhere, and the people look honest.

But this place has been a place for good men since ancient times. The so-called heroes are people who do not follow the rules and dare to go out and play with their lives.

Zhu Chongba casually put on a piece of clothing and took people to the prison in Jiaozhou.

The big prisoners in the prison were all driven to the open space, and on both sides were red turban soldiers with knives and guns, bright torches, crackling.

The prisoners were all burly men, some with indifferent expressions on their faces, some with wary expressions, and some with hateful stares at the soldiers next to them.

"Look." Tang He led Zhu Chongba over and stopped outside the fence of the clearing, "These people, if they are in our Huaixi, they are all heroes who charge into battle!" ”

The prisoners also noticed Zhu Chongba and the others, although Zhu Chongba was not wearing armor, his eyes were like knives, and he was the leader at a glance.

They are indeed heroes, and those who dare to resist donations and taxes in these years are all heroes. At the very least, not afraid of death.

Zhu Chongba looked at them, and they also looked at Zhu Chongba.

Suddenly, one of the prisoners suddenly laughed and said, "What is he doing here at night?" To kill or to chop? To give a happy word, let us stand here stupidly. I said, that leader, before the killing, did you let us eat to our heart's content! ”

Zhu Chongba laughed, clicked and kicked open the wooden fence, face to face with the prisoners.

"Satisfied with a full meal? Don't want to drink? Don't want to eat meat? Don't want to find a to get two?? Don't want gold or silver? ”

"Hahaha!" The prisoners laughed uncontrollably, and some men rolled on the ground with their stomachs clutched.

"I said, aren't you talking nonsense? You think it's a man! The man who spoke just now said, "What do you think, it fell from the sky!" ”

"Let's give!"
