"Anyone who dares to cry will be dealt with like this." Li Huajing didn't take the matter in front of him to heart at all, and after giving the order, he continued to talk with Liu Zhigan.

The guest soldiers also looked as usual, most of them were from Caozhou, and before Liu Zeqing withdrew from Shandong, they had looted in the Caozhou area, killing and wounding more than 1,000 local people.

The slightest disobedience is to cut people and kill people, and even if it is an obedient people, as long as the guest soldier moves his mind, poking and slashing is either death or serious injury.

They don't even have any scruples about their hometown, they are already a group of humanoid beasts, that is, they burn and loot in Shandong, do all kinds of evil in Huai'an, and later follow Liu Liangzuo to slaughter Jiangyin, slaughter Jiangnan, of course, there are Manchurian Eight Banners who kill people in Jiangnan, but the ones who do the most evil and kill the most are the Han officers and soldiers under Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo!

The crying in front of her gradually stopped, and the head was still rolling on the ground, the old woman's family did not dare to come forward to collect the body, how could others dare to approach?

The guests still beat and scolded, urging these homeowners to leave quickly, and the slightest delay was a beating, and soon more than 1,000 people from more than 200 households left like a tide, and no one dared to stay for a moment.

"These pariahs." When Liu Zhigan saw that the errand was finished, he said with a smile: "I'll go back and talk to my uncle first, and the next thing depends on Brother Li." ”

"Wrap it up on me." Li Huajing smiled: "Isn't it the same as having fun with hundreds of people to catch thousands of masters?" Don't worry, within three days, Zhun Bao will arrest Qi Fuzi, and within ten days, Zhun Bao will raze this place to the ground. ”

"That's for the best." Liu Zhigan said with a smile: "If the construction period is not delayed, my uncle will be happy." The man who is good at building gardens is a fool, we can't make mistakes in everything, but he doesn't dare to be accommodating. ”

Li Huajing smiled: "He dares to be accommodating, but the uncle will not spare him, and if he can't be dragged down to the hall to be skinned." This house has to build more than 200 rooms, and the garden alone is twenty or thirty acres large, and it is necessary to bring in living water, and it is necessary to dig a corner of the city wall to bring in the water from the outer river, and then fill the wall foundation after it is filled. ”

"Uncle doesn't know what to think." Liu Zhigan complained: "Liukou has killed the emperor, sat firmly on the throne of the Beijing Division, and will go south at the end of this year and early next year, no matter how fast our mansion is built, it will take half a year, and if you live in less than a few months, you may have to abandon it, so why bother doing this?" ”

"Didn't Uncle say it?" Li Huajing said indifferently: "The current emperor is supported by the uncles, and the Son of Heaven is the protégé, what's wrong with the uncles enjoying some blessings?" Brother, you see that this is a waste of money, it is not worth it, for the uncle, whether the rogue comes and has other plans, or goes south to watch, the money to build this mansion does not matter. With the uncle's current strength, even if he arrives in the new dynasty in the future, he will be the position of Uncle Hou, what is it to build a mansion, and what is it worth wasting some money and food? Brother Mo looks at the current situation with his previous thoughts, with the current status of the uncle, he will build a big mansion in one place, do the people in the place dare to fart? Don't talk about the locality, who in the court dares to come out and make irresponsible remarks? Those of us who are subordinates of our nephews and nephews honestly serve our uncle, and we don't care about other things! ”

Liu Zhigan originally said it casually, but he really didn't understand it.

Because Liu Zeqing's deepest plan is not to hide from his cronies and nephews, in the future, Liu Zeqing plans to cross the river all the way to Zhejiang, and also to find a big mansion with sufficient money and food to settle down, when fleeing south, the newly recruited army can ignore it, and bring all the battalion heads led by the core generals, with 20,000 or 30,000 people as the base, and when they arrive in Jiangnan, they still do not lose the pattern of a strong domain and a strong town.

When the time comes, the money and grain will be levied, and the people will be coerced in the locality, and another 180,000 troops will be in hand.

Continue to wait and see in Jiangnan for a while, if Li Zicheng really has the possibility of winning the world, then he will directly lead his troops to surrender.

Even if he can't be the Marquis of the new dynasty, he will surrender with an army of 100,000, at least he will have to be named a general, or he can become the general soldier of a town, and when the time comes, with the large amount of money and food looted, the old Liu family will not be poor for ten lifetimes.

This is Liu Zeqing's plan, Liu Zhigan just couldn't figure out his uncle's plan to flee south, why he had to waste people's and material resources to build a mansion in Huai'an, and then he faintly understood that even if it was for a few months of pleasure, wasting 108,000 yuan of money, grain and silver, wasting thousands of masters' people's power, and even killing hundreds or thousands of people, it didn't matter to Liu Zeqing.

"It's still Brother Whale who understands." Liu Zhigan clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Then I still have something to ask Brother Whale." ”

"Our own brothers." Li Huajing smiled and said: "If there is anything to talk about, my brother can help him, and he will definitely not refuse." ”

"That salt lord named Yang Shili, does Brother Whale know?"

"Yes." Li Huajing said: "At the beginning, the uncle wanted to pull him and give him a general, but this guy pushed three and four, and wanted a deputy general." There are only a few soldiers under his command, and the deputy general is what he dares to think? If the uncle didn't want his stove and business routes, as well as the relationships and friendships behind him, how would he be worthy? I really don't know what to do. However, later, he didn't send someone to Huai'an again, and he was willing to serve, and the uncle indiscriminately allowed him a guerrilla, planning to send someone to Yancheng to take charge of Yang Shili and his stove households, and then take care of the business road that produces salt, and he can get 35,000 silver a year...... Give a guerrilla, it's almost the end. That Yang Shili can't even beat a seaside military household, and he sent more than 1,000 heads to those poor military households for nothing, so embarrassing, I feel that this guerrilla is too high, give him a governor, garrison, it's almost enough. ”

"I'm not going to take care of that." Liu Zhigan smiled and said: "He is also content with a guerrilla, Brother Whale doesn't have to call me, I don't want to speak for Yang Shili." This man surnamed Yang sent a master over and brought me two thousand silver, saying that he wanted to ask me to speak in front of my uncle, and go to Yuntiguan as soon as possible to kill the surname Min. The surname Yang said, the surname Min is eloquent, good at training, and won the hearts of the people, and now he is being promoted Yantai guerrilla and Yunti Pass garrison, if we ignore it, I am afraid that it will become our henchman in a year or two. He said that he had asked his uncle to send troops before, and his uncle also agreed, hoping that I could beat the side drum and send troops as soon as possible, so as not to raise tigers. ”

"What the fuck is this?" Li Huajing scolded with a smile: "He suffered a loss and wanted to take revenge, since our uncle accepted the surname Yang, he will definitely stand up for him." But in order to get us to send troops early, I really made up all kinds of nonsense. Raising tigers? The man surnamed Min is really good at training, and he is also a fierce general, is his two or three thousand people enough? Our uncle has an army of 100,000 troops, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers, a poor military household by the sea, a hereditary family of thousands of families, how much background can it have, and it can turn the sky upside down if you raise some soldiers and horses to defeat bandits and pirates? With his ability to be bigger than the sky, he can't turn out the palm of our uncle's hand. This Yang Shili is rude when he speaks, and the uncle knows about it, and he is afraid that he will peel his skin. ”

"That's why I didn't tell my uncle." Liu Zhigan smiled and said: "We all know my uncle's temper, if I relay the words surnamed Yang, I am afraid that his old man will be annoyed and even I will have to beat me with a military stick, I am not willing to take this risk for two thousand silver." ”

Liu Zeqing's temper is extremely conceited and arrogant, but also self-righteous and cruel, tyrannical and insidious, it can be said that it is a completely negative collection, and it is also the culmination of the scum among the soldiers when the Ming Dynasty reached the end of the world. All the advantages and strengths of the generals of the Ming army are not at all, and the shortcomings and shortcomings of the generals of the Ming army are not pulled down by Liu Zeqing.

Even if Yang Shili was a kind reminder, Liu Zeqing would think that he looked down on himself, and if he didn't get it right, he would really slaughter and skin the person who reminded him.

Liu Zeqing's stubbornness is self-serving, cruel and murderous, even his henchmen are afraid and afraid, and it is also a loss that Yang Shili took the path of Liu Zhigan, even if he changed Li Huajing, he would have been sold a long time ago.

Li Huajing was a little puzzled and said, "Why did that brother mention this?" ”

"There are some words under the surname Yang, I am a little tempted, thinking about whether I should do it earlier."

Liu Zhigan said: "The method of drying salt with the surname Min was originally available in Fujian, and most of them were self-imposed by the seaside. The surname Min gathered thousands of people, excavated more than 100 salt ponds, our Huai'an Mansion Zhu family for the surname Min salt goods, for him to open the way to ship, after listening to Yang Shili said, I sent people to the Huai River and Fucheng Shuiguan, including the Lixia River Canal area to monitor, found that as Yang Shili said, the Zhu family out of the amount of salt is very large, almost the entire Huai'an Mansion salt merchants combined, not necessarily as much salt as the Zhu family. On the big rivers and canals, almost every day, there are Zhu family's salt ships full of salt goods out of the north, to the north is to return to De Nanyang Kaifeng, there are also Xuzhou to Shandong, most of them are to use the Cao boat along the canal to the north, the Zhu family is to open up the joint along the river, now the Cao Yun is broken, only short-distance merchant ships dare to go on the whole canal, the Zhu family's salt ship is the farthest, the greatest courage! More salt ships are through the canal south to Yangzhou, across the river along the river to Jingxiang, salt goods are mainly out of Huguang, a small amount out of the south of the Yangtze River. I calculated for them, it was almost more than 200,000 catties a day, and I heard that this amount will rise again. Brother Whale, more than 1,000 taels a day, more than 30,000 a month, nearly 400,000 a year, which is higher than the military salary given by the imperial court to our town. Although Huai'an is large, there are many prefectures and counties, and the population is large, but this place can not be compared with Yangzhou, let alone compared with Songjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, the local area is not rich, even if the grain is not stopped for a year, the cash income is limited. Now there is such a ready-made way to make money, Brother Whale, do you want to rob this salt farm? ”

"What's there to think about here?" Li Huajing glanced at Liu Zhigan with strange eyes, the kid in front of him was very polite to him, but if he changed to an ordinary general, he could see Liu Zhigan's chin and nostrils, even if he was very polite to them. And this kid is ruthless, what happened just now was handed over to Li Huajing to host, and Liu Zhigan came alone, and the scene of vacating the house had to die at least dozens more before it was finished.

Even killing hundreds or thousands of people is no pressure for Liu Zhigan, and he can do it casually.

Is there anything to be afraid of such a ruthless person?
