Wubao was born from the local people in order to resist the Khitan invasion, and now it has become a fortress for local wealthy families to gather forces against the government, and when Lu Long ruled Yingzhou, he was also based on these Wubao to manage. The combination of the owners of the Dock Fort, who was both a local official and a clan ruler, made their control over the people at the bottom extremely tight, and also extremely hidden.

Because they rely not only on the law, but also on kinship, blood ties.

This is exactly what you talk to him about the law, he will talk to you about family and blood, you tell him about family and blood, and he has to move out of the Tang Dynasty to compete with you. Anyway, the mouth is two skins, no matter how you say it, Li'er is all on their side.

Li Ze is committed to fighting such a powerful clan, and he will never allow such a deformed monster to exist under his rule. And the owners of these dock forts are much stronger than those clans in Chengde, they have people, food, soldiers, and support from Lu Long, as soon as they found out that Li Ze's policy was to dig up their walls, they immediately rose up to resist.

And Li Ze's response to them is naturally only a stick.

Liu Chenglin took his soldiers to find the door one by one, and if he didn't open the door, he smashed the door, of course, once the door was smashed open, the people inside basically had no good end.

Yoo Sung-rim is the perfect performer of violence, and he is responsible for smashing doors and killing people.

Huang De is the best candidate for the aftermath, and in the midst of the blood, he appeared on the scene.

After Liu Chenglin's passing, of course, the powerful lineage of the clan will no longer exist, and their heads will become something that intimidates others, and they are generally hung high above the dock fort. However, a dock fort has hundreds of households, and many control thousands of households, which is almost the size of a county, and basically every household will have village soldiers participating in the battle, from this point of view, it is natural that everyone is guilty.

But the land still needs to be planted. And these docks are surrounded by fertile fields.

The land was first taken over to the imperial court. Regardless of whether the land is a wealthy clan or a small family, once found guilty, the land will be confiscated.

Next, Huang De imitated Li Ze's Tuntian practice.

Each of these convicted families was granted a certain amount of land for a period of three years. In the first year, 90% is paid, in the second year, 70%, in the third year, 50%, and in the fourth year, the legal rent is restored to 30%, and after five years of planting, the land is re-registered as the farmer's own.

In the name of punishment, people are exploited in a grand manner, but it gives people endless hope, after all, no matter how hard it is, it will only take three years of hard work, and there will be hope for the future, right?

But as long as there is still hope, it is natural that they will no longer bend their necks against the powerful government.

The reason why Li Ze admires Huang De is that this person's grasp of policy is not conformist, but flexible above the bottom line to conform to local reality.

Those who can do this are good officials.

The day after arriving in Yingzhou, Liu Chenglin returned triumphantly with this song from Houfangyu. No matter how strong the local forces are, their stubborn resistance is basically futile when they encounter the organized state violence machine.

Hou Fangyu, the son of a wealthy family in the past, now has a cracked mouth on his face, his ears drooping and frostbite, and when he saluted Li Ze with his fists, his hands were also scarred.

The metamorphosis is taking place in this former noble son.

Thirty-eight were killed and one hundred and three wounded, of whom more than forty were frostbitten during the march and during the assault on the fort.

This is Liu Chenglin's loss in attacking Wubao this time.

"Yingzhou, in the future, will definitely be the first place where we will fight with the Lu Long Army. After these dock forts are taken, they will play a very important role for us. Commander, please see, this is the dock fort that we have taken down so far. Liu Chenglin stood in front of the map, holding a silver charcoal and poking black dots on it. A chain is slowly taking shape.

"Next, we're going to build a few new dock forts here, here, to make this chain perfect." Liu Chenglin turned around and looked at Li Zedao: "After Yingzhou is returned to us, it is conceivable that the Lulong people will inevitably instigate the Khitan cavalry to come and harass again and again, even if the two sides officially start a war in the future, we can also rely on these dock forts to build a complete defense line." Therefore, the existence of these dock forts is still very necessary. ”

"So this time I brought you Li De's Rangers." Li Ze pointed to Li De behind him, Li De stepped forward and down, and hugged his fist at Liu Chenglin.

"Within one to two years, we will expand the number of Rangers to about 3,000. In this way, you have a cavalry army that is strong enough to compete with the Lu Dragoons. ”

Liu Chenglin had seen Li De's cavalry destroy the camp left behind by Zhu Hai in Cangzhou, which was indeed a strong army.

"The remaining three dock forts are all close to the border of Mozhou, and they have thousands of village soldiers, and now we have confirmed that Lu Long has a regular army into these dock forts, so it will be more difficult to fight them, and in winter, it is obviously not suitable for launching large-scale battles, so we can only wait until after the spring of next year." Liu Chenglin Road.

"Okay, let's let them help us get the spring sowing away first, and then go and clean them up!" Li Ze said with a smile.

After the military discussion was completed, everyone retreated one by one, and only Li Ze and Liu Chenglin were left in the room. Li Ze informed Liu Chenglin of a series of agreements reached with him in Zhenzhou between the imperial envoy and the envoy Lu Long.

originally thought that Liu Chenglin would be furious when he heard the news that the imperial court was going to let Liu Ruyan enter Beijing, but Liu Chenglin was only silent for a while before asking: "Is this matter imperative?" ”

Li Ze nodded.

"Now the purpose of the imperial court is very clear, if my mother and Ruyan do not go to Chang'an, they will set up a stumbling block for us in the matter of merging the town, although this does not prevent us from actually acting, but if this title is not taken down, it will give the truth, and it will also give some people who are interested in the states of Chengde have the opportunity to get up and down. This will inevitably cause us some unnecessary trouble, and there is no need to have internal friction. ”

"More importantly, I need to have my own base in Chang'an, and my goal is not only in the north. For me, Zhang Zhongwu is almost about to become a dead snake now, but how he moves after beating this dead snake is the most important thing. After navigating the world, Chang'an is the core point. ”

"It is a clever idea that the General Qianniuwei Mansion is located in Chang'an. Gongsun Changming joined the army as the secretary of Qianniu Wei and presided over the affairs of the general's palace, and he was also an excellent candidate. "Liu Chenglin said." If the marshal wants to go through the world, the Son of Heaven, he must be in his hands. Coercing the Son of Heaven to order everyone, this matter has already been done. There are indeed a lot of bargains. ”

"That's exactly what I was going to do!" Li Ze laughed: "So Cheng Lin agrees?" ”

"I'm going to send some men to protect Ruyan!" Liu Chenglin Road.

Li Ze smiled and nodded: "Naturally, there is no problem with this, the Qianniu Wei General's Mansion is located in Chang'an, and the General's Mansion can have five hundred soldiers according to the regulations, and your family general will receive a title in the Wei Mansion." ”

"Five hundred is not enough!" Liu Chenglin said: "Once something happens in Chang'an, this bit of manpower is a drop in the bucket." ”

"There are only five hundred people on the surface, and there will naturally be more in the dark, but it takes time to arrange, first let Gongsun go to Chang'an to lay a good foundation, and then Tu Hu will follow, and then the follow-up manpower will be slowly inserted." Li Zedao.

"That's great!" Liu Chenglin nodded: "It's just that in this way, your wedding will be held in Chang'an, and the emperor will personally give the marriage, and the main marriage will be a big face, but my eldest brother can't come to attend in person." Tomorrow in the spring, I will clear Yingzhou. ”

"It doesn't matter if the person is not there, the key is that the gift is to arrive. Chang'an Qianniuwei General's Mansion was newly established, and everything was lacking. Li Ze spread his hands and said.

Liu Chenglin laughed: "You are a big family, and you actually beat me for the idea of a small family, it's just that, I only have such a girl, so naturally I will do everything." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Li Ze said happily.

"Thank you for it, it's not necessary, it's serious for me to hug my nephew early." Liu Chenglin is colored.

"I think it's better to give birth after the age of twenty." Li Ze didn't finish a word, looking at Liu Chenglin's eyes again, he could only shake his head helplessly, in this era, people who became mothers at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and became grandmothers in their early thirties, how did they know the danger in this!

Summer insects can't talk about ice, and well frogs can't talk about the sea.
