Yu Zhilong didn't know that Pan and Huang had fled to the county seat at this time, and told the county Cheng and others. After he had completed the registration and distribution of land deeds and materials in Liujiazhuang and completed the reorganization of the troops, he informed Zhao Shi of Hujiazhuang again of the division of fields and the reorganization exercises.

Because Qian Zheng participated in the division of land and the signing of the title deed from beginning to end, and was literate, Yu Zhilong simply sent him to bring a few people over to help. It took a day for Hujiazhuang to do things according to the rules, and it was basically over.

During this period, Huang Er and Hou Ying squirmed and came to Yu Zhilong and Qian Zheng's side, and when they saw that Qian Zheng was busy, the two glanced at each other and said haha: "Xiucai, busy?" Qian Zheng didn't raise his head, and glanced at them: "Well, didn't you see it, come and help?" ”

Huang Er and Hou Ying hurriedly waved their hands: "We are illiterate, so you can do this!" The two of us just had a fight. Seeing that Qian was busy registering people's names with a brush under the sun, the number and location of household registration and acres, etc., the forehead slowly oozed a few fine beads of sweat under the autumn light, Huang Er flattered and turned out a sweatshirt to wipe the sweat for Qian Zheng, and Hou Ying took out a fan for Qian Zheng like a trick. This posture is clearly like two dogs serving the stewards of large households.

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Say, what's the matter? Qian Zheng asked casually while enjoying himself.

Huang Er waited for this sentence, and after hearing this, he leaned down happily and whispered: "Xiucai, there are so many fields, is there any share of us?" How many acres can there be? Hou Ying's ears also stood up beside him, and the fan couldn't help but shake more slowly.

"What, you want to divide the field too? Brother Yu said, all these lands are given to the people of Zhuangli, and we old brothers don't have them! "Huang Eryi was anxious when he heard it." No, why don't we have a share of our brothers with so many fields? After all, we've all done our part! Brother Yu doesn't think about our brothers? "If you say no, no, Brother Yu is over there, you go and ask." Qian Zheng said impatiently. The registration of these hundreds of households is not a trivial matter, there are almost no people in the scout team who can read and break words, and Yu Zhilong and Qian Zheng can't trust those Liu family stewards, so they have to rely on Qian Zheng to do things with a few soldiers who are slightly literate and ink.

Seeing Yu Zhilong standing on the side and watching the process of dividing fields and things with concern, Huang Er and Hou Ying looked at each other, no longer tired of Qian Zheng, and then came to Yu Zhilong's side and said with a smile: "Little brother, I heard Xiucai say that all these fields were given to the people of Zhuangli?" ”

"Yes, what's the matter?" Yu Zhilong was a little curious.

"Ahem, there's nothing wrong, Brother Hou Ying wants to ask if you can leave some of this fertile land for us old brothers?" Huang Er didn't say anything about himself, and mentioned Hou Ying's name.

Hou Ying was anxious when he heard this: "Two, you are not authentic, didn't you ask it?" After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Yu Zhilong would blame him, and then said: "Little brother, I just have this question, and I don't mean anything else!" ”

"Oh, it's going to be divided into acres." Yu Zhilong understood, at the beginning, he and Zhao Shi discussed the distribution of acres, and finally felt that it was better to give all these parts to the local farmers, and he was just passing by now, what was the use of asking for these acres of acres that could not be carried with him?

But it doesn't seem like everyone thinks so.

Huang Er used to be a tenant, and due to natural disasters, his family borrowed lamb interest, and in the end, he was unable to repay the profits, so he had to pawn the land clean. Now seeing these hundreds of families happily receiving the land deeds, my heart is itching and I can't bear it.

Yu Zhilong knew that most of the brothers in the scout team were bankrupt farmers, who loved money and land, and it was natural for them to do so.

After pondering for a while, Yu Zhilong said softly: "We can't protect our day and night now, even if we have our own acres of mountains and forests, how long can we keep it?" Second brother, you are also from a farmer's household, if you want to farm on a piece of land with peace of mind, you must first have a stable world, we are people who want to fight the world in this troubled world, why rush for a while? ”

"You see, these farmers who divide the land are our future food and clothing, and our food and clothing will fall on them, and we will recruit soldiers, and the soldiers will have to eat food and pay them, where do these come from? Do you still want to rob it, even if you rob it once or twice, do you want to do it all the time? We haven't been able to develop before, why? Because in the eyes of the people of the world, we are rogues, no one wants to be a robber, and no one wants to join the gang, so I think about it in the future is to change, we want to fight the world, but not for their own lives and wandering around thieves, so this outside the body also please let go of the brothers, and when there is a foothold, there will be a return! ”

Yu Zhilong's words have been said several times during the march before, but they are not as direct as they are today, in the past, they mostly emphasized military discipline, not to disturb the people and harm the people, but now they have clearly proposed to recruit troops. Yu Zhilong had an in-depth discussion with Zhao Shi about these words, Zhao Shi fully supported him, Yu Zhilong had not yet talked to Wu Side and others, but this Huang Er and Hou Ying were found first.

"Although the big guy doesn't have a land share this time, those silver can't be short of you brothers! After a while, we will go to where the money is being collected! Yu Zhilong then laughed.

Hou Ying was just hot-eyed, knowing that there was some truth in what Yu Zhilong said, although he didn't understand it very well, he also knew that it was not the right time to buy land now, so he patted Huang Er vigorously on the back and said, "I'll just say, Brother Yu is a thousand households, how can he take care of us old brothers!" You kid is just anxious! Hurry up and see the drills of your men. ”

Huang Erniu glared at Hou Ying, and said unconvinced: "What's the matter, it's just me, aren't you too?" Before he finished speaking, Hou Ying took him by the arm and left, "Little brother, don't blame! It's all this—" Huang Er still wanted to argue, but Hou Ying's big hand directly covered his mouth.

Watching the two leave, Yu Zhilong shook his head slightly, thought about it, and couldn't help but smile again. It's time to talk to everyone

Don't think about it anymore, Yu Zhilong called the leader of the pro-soldiers, this person is also an old man in the scout team, named Sun Xing, twenty years old, not only clever, but also knows a few words, and Yu Zhilong has a similar personality. Yu Zhilong originally wanted him to serve as a hundred households, but Zhao Shi suggested that most of the old brothers in the scout team had already served as a hundred households and the general banner, and there were not many people around Yu Zhilong who were familiar with him, so arranging a close person who was familiar with the relationship between the upper and lower levels to serve as the captain of the pro-soldier team was conducive to implementing Yu Zhilong's control and command of the troops, and Sun Xing was a more suitable person.

Yu Zhilong asked Sun Xing for his personal opinion, Sun Xing didn't care, he followed the main general, and in the future, he would have the opportunity to go out and take charge of the army. So Sun Xing was appointed by Yu Zhilong as the captain of the personal soldiers, with a hundred households, and there are only more than 20 personal guards now, and a few of them are still selected from the drive mouth to be strong and have some martial arts.

Yu Zhilong ordered him to bring a captive Yacha, named Ming Shijie, Ming Shijie himself did not flow with the dirt, after Mu Chun's introduction, his people were available, Yu Zhilong and after a conversation with him, Ming Shijie was greatly surprised and impressed by Zhilong's ambition, and finally made up his mind to take refuge in Yu Zhilong.

From the previous understanding, I knew that Ming Shijie was able to eat the public meal only after taking the relationship of a hundred households of the Han army in the city, and both of them were local clans, and they were distant relatives in the clan. On the relationship, Ming Shijie should call Mingxiong the uncle. The Ming clan is a small clan in the city, with few people and declining, often suppressed and bullied by the big clan, fortunately, Ming Xiong is brave and brave, good at leading soldiers, and has performed well in the military and horse performances of various departments in Yidu many times, but I am not good at drilling camps, and I have only been a Han army for many years. But with Mingxiong's care, the Ming clan's life in the city was better.

Yu Zhilong inquired in detail about the situation in Linqu County, including the names and temperaments of the existing Han army and hundreds of households, the daily training of the Han army, the number of Han soldiers, the height of the city wall, the materials for building the city, the temperament and talents of the county Cheng and the county Dalu Huachi and others, and the local merchants and dilapidated forces.

Yu Zhilong asked a few people in Linqu County, and after a few oral comparisons, a global map of the county basically emerged.

With a detailed understanding, Yu Zhilong immediately summoned Zhao Shi and hundreds of households to discuss here. The formation and training of the troops are temporarily taken over by the general flags.

The topic of the discussion is one, how to take Linqu County as soon as possible.

The nearest big city from Linqu county is only the Yidu Zhishu in the north, the two are about fifty miles apart, all the way is mostly flat land, the march is about a day, if you count the time for the Yidu garrison to gather and prepare, it is estimated that it will take two hours. However, most of the garrison of Yidu Zhisu has been transferred to the south, and the rest are mostly chasing Liu Zhengfeng's department at the end, and the available soldiers and horses in the city should be insufficient, so in two to three days, Linqu County will not have a large number of surrounding officers and troops to reinforce. Tai'an, Yizhou and other places are far away, and even if there are troops to help, it will be a few days later.

Compared with the officers and troops who were far away, the rebels near Linqu City were a small threat. Because the large households have recruited troops to protect themselves, or set up villages to defend themselves, the total number is quite a lot. If the volunteers from each village are gathered in the city, it will not be easy to solve it. Therefore, Yu Zhilong hopes to take Linqu County as soon as possible.

Yu Zhilong first introduced the situation he knew, Zhao Shi proposed that Ming Shijie sneak into the city, and privately contact Mingxiong to rebel against Mingxiong, the original quarry drove the mouth of a few broken people in the city, and some of the surrendered volunteers of Liujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang had relatives and friends in the city, etc., and sent them into the city in batches, each contacting relatives and friends who are familiar with each other. Yu Zhilong and the others all agreed.

Everyone discussed and finalized the details, Yu Zhilong finally decided on the plan, and everyone had to disperse to prepare. At this time, it was nearly noon, and it was the second day of seizing Liujiazhuang. The details of the various works entering the city will set off according to the plan.

When everyone had decided to dissolve the meeting and prepare separately, they suddenly rode a fast horse, and the scout rolled the saddle and dismounted, and hurried to Zhilong to report the military situation that had been urgently discovered. Seeing his urgency, Yu Zhilong was shocked, could it be that the official army knew the news here, and he made a move so quickly!

The scout reported closely, and the news was not the movement of Linqu County, but the scout suddenly found a large number of rebels on the nearby mountain road in the southwest, and the banner of the rebel army turned out to be the handsome banner of Meng Qing's old thief! Looking at the direction of his march, it was obvious that he wanted to intercept Liu Zhengfeng's way out of the mountain in the mountains.
