The little colonel frowned when he heard the questioning and said coldly: "Are you questioning the credibility of our Hou Ye?" Or do you feel that there is some powerful force behind it that is qualified to play tricks here? ”

He pressed the knife and shouted: "Don't talk about the fuck." Execute orders honestly. Otherwise, don't blame me for disposing of you according to military orders. ”

Under the comfort of the nine gods of Jiangnan, Lu Shisang finally endured this breath, and ordered his subordinates to open the money pouch he carried with him, put it on the ground in a row, and let the border army inspect it.

The border army searched very carefully and quickly, but they picked out the things with gold and the symbols used by the Khitan nobles, and did not take a second look at the other unmarked jewels and jade contained in the money bag, no matter how precious they were. This made Jiangnan Jiushen and the others couldn't help but be surprised.

It seems that people really don't want to steal our treasure. What does this mean?

The little colonel waved his hand and said, "Okay." ”

Beckoning to order a Yu Hou, "You take them to the inn outside the city to change their clothes." Remember, anything with the mark of the Liao people cannot be allowed to have them. ”

Marquis Yu solemnly agreed, beckoned a team of border troops over, and said to Lu Shinang: "Please." ”

At this time, Lu Shisang also understood.

There are rules in the Great Song Dynasty that people are not allowed to have gold, and it is a sin to hide it. It's just that gold is loved by everyone, and it is difficult to really ban it, and there are many people who have private collections. The government is not strict in prohibiting it, as long as it is not a large amount of gold, no one will care about you. Over time, many people ignored this regulation of the imperial court.

The seizure of gold by the Cheongju border army was really the execution of the king's law.

Otherwise, if you want to win money, those precious eastern jewels that you carry with you are more valuable. Why didn't the border army take it?

Understood.

Understandable to understand, still uncomfortable in my heart. It feels indescribably awkward.

But where is the official who doesn't love money?

I can only sigh lightly.

Lu Shisang didn't dare to ask the border army for the confiscated horses, those silver, copper coins, ginseng and other property, which really angered the border army, who were already impatient. provoked the fire of the people and slaughtered them, the backbone of the sect who had finally survived from the tiger's mouth, and killed them here, saving worry.

On second thought, who doesn't love money?

The monks, who are known as the four major emptiness, are still open-minded when they see money. If you have no power and no money, ask for a signature, and those so-called monks will not pay attention to you.

We love money ourselves.

The Qingzhou border army did not take the opportunity to clear us, and did not deprive us of the most precious harvest we gained from going north, not because of high discipline and lack of love for money, but because Marquis Wencheng was strict with the army.

Those goods should be regarded as the reward for the labor of the border army to save our lives.

It's worth exchanging money for life.

Can be exchanged for life. It's already a great blessing. It's stupid to be lucky to survive, and to force too much is stupid.

The members of the Moroccan sect who had just experienced a life-and-death crisis were still in shock at the moment, and they could especially appreciate the preciousness of life, so they could think about it......

Lu Shi Nang forced a smile and asked Na Yu Hou: "Dare to ask my lord, can't we change back to Han clothes?" ”

Yu Hou glanced at Lu Shisang strangely and said, "Naturally, you can." ”

Then he ignored Master Lu and led the small team of border troops to lead the way in front.

The 777 members of the Moroccan Sect had no choice but to carry their money bags and silently follow them out of the Golden Lock Pass, and walked suspiciously towards a large inn in the distance.

on the city walls.

Han Shizhong, who was on duty at the Golden Lock Gate, took off his hooded helmet and watched as the group of Moroccan members drifted away. He pardoned Siwen to Jing Mu Qian, who was standing beside him and was also staring at the members of the Mo Sect: "Hmph, Fang La, this gang of traitors is really blind and deaf when they are officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and they really hide themselves deep enough and secretly, and no one knows that they have been planning to rebel for a long time?" It's really the Hou Ye who doesn't care about the flow of war horses. Let the rebel grow? ”

Hearing this, Yu Siwen couldn't help but laugh.

In this special period, he, the chief instructor of the training of the Cheongju Army, specially inspected the Cheongju border on behalf of the Hou Ye this time, and checked the security, military discipline, and horse dealers in various places. This time, it just happened to be in time for the Mojiao looting gang to return.

As a veteran of the army who has been with Marquis Wencheng for a long time, he is as clear as Han Shizhong, the backbone confidant of Hou Ye, and the real purpose of Hou Ye's border opening policy.

Assemble war horses for the four armies of Cangbei by reasonable means. The addition of war horses to the Great Song Dynasty is only one of the bright aspects of the purpose.

Hou Ye's plan was discussed with his younger brother when he was presiding over the military administration of Cangzhou. There is a plan in advance. Engaging in border customs and opening up to trade, and encouraging non-governmental forces to sell horses in disguise, in order to deal with the accountability of the Liao State, the means are simple, and they are also secretly played in the Ouchi, which has been approved by the emperor in advance to be tried in Cangbei, but in fact it is widely planned.

When Hou Ye was in charge of Cangzhou, he took advantage of the strong support and advantages of his hometown to rectify the rule of officials, reorganize the military and military training, and severely crack down on local tyrants and inferior gentry and bullies.

Therefore, the nobles in the army who carried out surveillance on behalf of the emperor, such as Shi Fulian, the commander of the army, and the important officials who were loyal to the imperial court, lacked a wide range of eyes and ears and sources, and only knew more about the things under their noses, and with their eyelids facing upwards, they were accustomed to keeping a close eye on the dynamics above, and they were almost blind to the grassroots affairs that were far away from them.

Hou Ye took advantage of this to let the intelligence network and Li Zhu's business escort force widely and implicitly and euphemistically publicize how rich Cangzhou was, how easy the money was, and how peaceful and happy the people's lives were, and constantly attracted people to work and start businesses here and move their families.

In order to make the business at home better, the merchants from all over the country who deal with Cangzhao business also inadvertently promote the beauty of Cangzhou when they brag about how good Cangzhao's goods are, which further expands the attractiveness of Cangzhou, causing more people who dare to break through or are forced to desperately seek their way to Cangzhou to find a way out. Instead, migrants from the south flocked to the East China Sea, where there was vacant land.

With a steady stream of population replenishment in Cangzhou, and grassroots civil servants in counties, townships, and government offices secretly helping each other to cover up or getting used to population movements and ignoring population changes, Zhao Zhuang was able to quietly emigrate overseas in large numbers from families who came to look for work.

The hard-working and hard-working people from the northwest are the focus of the Cangzhao Group's efforts to attract immigrants.

The barren land of the northwest is difficult to feed the vast population. The population is slowly declining, and the government in the northwest is not concerned. But little by little, the poor land occupied by poor households has been released, so that those who lack land to grow can have more land. It gradually alleviates the survival embarrassment of the people in the northwest.

However, the Cangzhao clique has gained a large number of people from the northwest who love the Han nation and have a much stronger patriotic passion, sense of honor, and fighting courage than the people in the interior, and the overseas regime has a stronger and more stable popular base, and the northern and southern armies also have the iron backbone to fight.

Cangzhao Group needs more people in the northwest to support the backbone of the country, and indirectly repay the great sacrifices made by the people of the northwest for so many years for the Han nation, and the strategic goal is also to vacate a large number of northwest regions after reunification, so that it can naturally restore the ecological environment. The plan is to continue to attract a large number of people from the Northwest.

Today, Cangzhou is under the surveillance and control of a group of rotten officers and ruffians led by Zheng Juzhong, and it is inconvenient for a large number of immigrants.

Zhao Gonglian pretended to be a horse thief through the army and entered the Liao State to plunder. After openly and honestly strengthening the ties of interests with the supervisors and backbone generals of the other three military states in Cangbei, and further strengthening the understanding and interests between them, they finally subdued the three military states and opened the passage for immigrants to Cangbei.

The Cangzhao Group's forces in various places turned to publicize the benefits of Cangbei.

However, many of the officials below are not from the Cangzhao Group. Marquis Zhao does not have the local roots and influence control of his hometown Zhaozhuang here, so he cannot replace a large number of these officials with his own people as he did in Cangzhou. It is difficult for large numbers of immigrants to hide from the world.

In order to cover up the disappearance of a large number of foreign populations in the flow of people, large chain inns jointly built by the military and civilians appeared.

Through this hand, Marquis Zhao skillfully strung together the local military and political officials, rich and powerful forces in the countryside, and twisted them into a rope with the army, sharing the considerable benefits brought by the huge flow of people and the prosperity of commerce formed by the opening of the border gates. It is also natural to form a situation of jointly safeguarding the leadership of the four military states in Cangbei and supporting the leadership of the state capital.

Who wouldn't support things that benefit the country and themselves?

Even if they collude with the powerful in the DPRK and China, the local officials who secretly oppose Zhao Gonglian will not make trouble in this matter and cut off their own financial routes.

The huge floating population formed by opening up quickly paralyzed the nerves of the locals. The interest attracted the attention of the local 'idlers'. The four military prefectures have also continued to transfer troops, reorganize the army, plant the army, and recruit heroes recruited by the people, and the army has continued to come and go. Confuse the situation further.

No one will be aware of the scattered and intercepted population of immigrants presided over by the Divine Machine.

With a large number of people coming and going every day, who knows where the outsiders go? Who will pay attention?

Left, normal.

Do not leave. Left behind, possibly competing with the locals for profit. The locals weren't happy.

In this case, you just have the heart to pay attention. I can't figure it out, I can't grasp it. If you want to catch it, you have to have that force.

In this way, the entire Cangbei has formed a larger and more hidden immigration channel than Cangzhou.

All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted.

Zhao Gonglian was in charge of Cangzhou for a few years, leaving the Xiang army that was planted and withdrawn according to the imperial court policy to the cronies and backbones, and the rest of the people quietly emigrated, and continued to reorganize the army, and justifiably transferred the generals who could not be used to the border to exercise in a disguised way, and promoted followers, leaving only a few senior officers such as Shi Fulian who could not be killed casually, firmly controlled and subdued the army's heart, and waited for the imperial court to support Zhao Gonglian to leave Cangzhou's hometown, approved the Cangzhou army and the Qingzhou army to change guards in equal amounts, and took away all the forbidden troops who were united and condensed around him. His family also immigrated from Cangzhou before Zheng Juzhong's arrival.

The remaining forbidden army, which could not be rectified and subdued, was thrown to Shi Fulian to guard the Cangzhou border pass.

Officers and men in the army are not allowed to go home to visit their relatives casually. The military salaries sent home by the Cangzhou army were sent home by Zhao Gonglian's logistics department, which was actually gathered in Zhaozhuang. The relatives over there received the same amount of money from the local people in Xinguo, and the logistics department only got some military family replies from time to time to deal with the soldiers. The soldiers did not know that their relatives were already overseas.

Marquis Zhao used the Cangzhou army, which was actually his own army, to deter Qingzhou, and completed the elimination of Qingzhou's unbearable forbidden army and generals.

Then, under the convincing and vigorous cooperation of Gao Jiguang, the son of the noble and noble people sent by the emperor to monitor, Zhao Gonglian used horses to prosper the border economy, and in the form of the army pretending to be horse thieves, he incorporated the backbone leaders of the generals in the army who were further identified as unable to accept and use them into the horse thief army to force them to sacrifice or get rid of the Liao State, but reported to the imperial court in the name of sacrificing themselves in patrolling the border passes, quickly completed the complete control of the army, and emigrated the families of the horse thieves by various means.

At this point, the original Cangzhou army brought by it can already be successfully retired.

In order to keep the secret of the army pretending to be horse thieves and robbing the Liao State, and for follow-up means, these soldiers were trained by a single independent battalion.

In order to prevent the imperial court from replacing himself at any time, Zhao Gonglian sent this army and the original Cangzhou army, together with the looted horses, property, weapons and equipment, and Tian Hu's subordinates, directly from the border pass to the sea and loaded them onto the ship.

This is also to further seal the secret.

The Cangzhao navy has never plundered Cangbei.

The Cangbei people, including the army, did not know the power of the pirates, and under the scandal that the imperial court deliberately concealed the annihilation of the Jianghuai Naval Army, they did not know that the Great Song Dynasty no longer had decent warship transports, and thought that the ship that came to pick them up was the transport ship of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Cangzhou army would not suspect that the Marquis of Zhao, whom they trusted deeply, turned out to be the biggest thief in the Great Song Dynasty, and they would be deceived by them.

After eating and drinking well and sleeping well on the boat, they went to Jeju Island in a daze, and then incorporated into the Ma Bu Army of the Cangzhao Northern Army.

Missing soldiers are not reported.

The four military prefectures incorporated the elite of the reserve forces that had been prepared by the people in the jurisdiction and the people from all over the country who came to join the army one after another, and continued to use the power of the imperial court to train their own troops.

Zhao Gonglian and his subordinates are already familiar with this hand.

Just as they did in Cangzhou in the past, those who took the initiative to vote, whether you were really a good man or a spy arranged by someone with a heart, all continued to be trained in a separate battalion, and in the name of being convenient for contacting their families in case of death in the war, they logged in in detail about their home addresses and relatives, and sent their own radio stations to the Cangzhao Intelligence Network to secretly verify.

This is also to facilitate the family immigration of these soldiers who will be identified as reliable soldiers in the future.

What is false is what is fake. After this verification, most of the spies will be exposed, and they will be deceived and thrown away with the merchant ship to show their skills.

In short, I don't want to return to the mainland.

It doesn't matter if you hide it deeply, you can't find out. War tests everything.

The missing personnel are not in a hurry to make up for it, and they are slowly absorbing voluntary soldiers from all over the country.

Zhao Gonglian's prestige and faith are all famous, the future is immeasurable, whoever follows him has a good life and a good life, the Great Song Dynasty has so many people, so many people have no chance to get ahead, the people want to build military merits by force, and the heroes who enthusiastically come to sign up for the army are gathered in this place in Cangbei, but there are a lot of people.

There is a new army that can be called upon at any time to contain the Liao army, and the four military states in Cangbei are not afraid of the emptiness caused by the lack of troops at the border pass.
