Yu Zhilong pondered carefully, deliberated repeatedly, and then wrote back to Ji Xiancheng, allowing him to move the camera. The last time Linqu was besieged, not only did the Jing'an military department stay in Linqu suffer a big injury, but the local people's livelihood was also hit hard, and now they can't stand the active siege of the second Yuan army. Instead of being trapped, it is better to take the initiative to attack at the right time.

It's just that you need to be careful! At the same time, Yu Zhilong ordered Ming Shijie to lead the Intelligence Department to fully cooperate with Ji Xiancheng's operation.

Zhao Shi and Yu Zhilong also delegated power. just told him not to fight in vain and not to be greedy for merit. Everything is mainly aimed at stabilizing the local situation, especially trying to win over the local gentry and literati, and on the premise of taking care of the peasants and merchants, as far as possible not to touch the interests of these local gentry.

As for those wealthy families who stubbornly follow the Yuan court, and even those who disobey the yang and yin, and secretly accept the Yuan court, Yu Zhilong directly ordered Zhao Shi to naturally sweep away the leaves with the autumn wind, and it is not a pity to destroy the family and slaughter the family!

Wu Side is an illiterate general, unable to effectively control Yishui City, Xie Lin and Cheng Shilin are busy in Linqu, Yu Zhilong can't find a more suitable candidate for a while, so he simply ordered Zhao Shi to temporarily directly govern Yishui and Juxian.

During the setback of the siege, the Jing'an army did a lot of sweeping outside the city.

Yu Zhilong ordered Yu Shichang to destroy the hardcore subordinate forces near Rizhao, confiscate all the estates, pastures, and salt farms of the local inferior gentry and large Mengse households, and also issued an Anmin document, and re-signed land deeds with landless and landless farmers, displaced people, artisan households, etc., and distributed a large amount of land, cattle and sheep, and farming tools one by one, which really made the people of Sixiang cheer. Most of these goods and cattle were disbursed in the form of low-interest loans for several years, so that poor households and small landlords could recuperate. In the past two days, there have been many young and strong people who have served in front of the army, which has greatly supplemented the losses of the Jing'an army.

Among them, these young and strong mixed with a lot of seaside boat households.

According to the Yuan Law, ship owners can only eat and live on the sea, and they are not allowed to have real estate, houses, or acres on land, and all income comes from the sea. According to the current poor fishing conditions and narrow boat facilities, poor boat owners cannot go out to the ocean at all, and it is rare to catch many fish and shrimp. Therefore, in terms of the misery of life at that time, the situation of these poor boat owners was worse than that of those salt households!

After Yu Zhilong came, he issued a decree to allow boat owners to live ashore, allow them to freely transfer nationality, buy land, buy land, and even marry foreigners.

This selection model is very different from that of the Yuan court, and even from the previous dynasties. Undoubtedly, it is great news for those farmers, small merchants, boat owners, artisan households, and broken households. Isn't it just to get ahead and get a good background for your children? For a while, their surging enthusiasm for joining the army and killing the enemy was even Yu Zhilong's dumbfounded. This is also the strength that Yu Zhilong currently relies on the most.

On the fourth day, twilight fell, and Yu Zhilong ordered Mingjin to retreat, and the siege of the city was fruitless on this day. Yu Zhilong's heart was slightly anxious.

Mu Chun's face was dark, and his collar receded like a tide, he was lucky today, but he was only slightly injured. Qu Bo was more unlucky, and when he was fighting in the city, he injured his arm and couldn't go to the battlefield for a while.

Jin Yan had already prepared hot soup and hot meals in the camp, and was busy greeting the soldiers who had been fighting for a day to wash, eat, treat the wounded, and the camp was suddenly busy.

In the past few days, there have been many wounded and dead in the Jing'an army, and hundreds of wounded soldiers have been sent to the rear camp for medical treatment, although the shape is rather miserable, but because the rescue is relatively timely and effective, and the bereavement is also generous, the faces of the wounded soldiers are not much depressed.

After the initial diagnosis, the seriously wounded soldiers were immediately sent to the Houying Health Center for treatment, while the more seriously wounded soldiers were carefully treated by military medical officers and transported to Wujiabao by horse-drawn carriage for recuperation. Lightly injured soldiers are treated and bandaged, and then temporarily returned to the camp to recuperate.

All wounded medicines, stretchers, and miscellaneous servants required were dispatched by Meng Chang in the center, and all matters in the camp were done in an orderly manner at this time. Old friends Kong Ying and Jin Yan knew that he liked simplicity and did not want to indulge in redundant things.

Yu Zhilong saw that he was calm and unchaotic, and had the style of Xie Lin and Fang Xue, so he nodded secretly.

Yu Zhilong has been secretly observing and studying Kong Ying, Meng Chang, Jin Yan, Tan Ye, Kong Bi and other newly attached people these days, they are young and strong, or they are good at literature or martial arts. If it is carefully cultivated, it will surely go further. For example, Meng Chang is meticulous and informal, and the logistics chores of the Jing'an Military Department can be done in an orderly manner under the dozen or so big and small leaders he leads, which is really not easy! Speaking of which, these things will be the content of a logistics staff in later generations.

Yu Zhilong thought of Fang Xue, who stayed in Linqu, and under Xie Lin's training, he was calm and calm, and he was not inferior to Meng Chang.

Yu Zhilong briefly inspected the camp, accompanied by Kong Ying, and after vigorously encouraging and comforting the wounded, he returned to the Chinese military tent and was about to enter the tent to rest, when he suddenly got a news that a person claiming to be Cui Hu outside the camp asked to see him.

"Cui Hu?" Yu Zhilong is quite unfamiliar with this name. Asked again, the soldier reported: The man claimed to be a member of the Rizhao clan, and he used to have an old friendship with General Zhao Shi. Today, seeing that the Jing'an army was blocked from attacking the city, I came to help.

Only then did Yu Zhilong remember that when he ordered the scout to go south to the mountain road at the three-way junction, the scout had encountered Cui Hu leading a team to sell illicit salt. At that time, they left a message for each other, and they have not been in touch again. Unexpectedly, Cui Hu took the initiative to come to the camp to contact today.

Zhao Shi had a relationship with him, but Yu Zhilong didn't know him, so after thinking about it, he asked the guards to bring him in.

Soon, a big man in blue clothes and cloth shoes came in with the guards and met Yu Zhilong.

Cui Hu lowered the corners of his eyes along the way, carefully observed the style of the Jing'an Army in the camp, and secretly commented on it.

Cui Hu took the initiative to take out a short blade from his arms outside the tent and handed it to the guards who searched him. However, the Jing'an army still searched his body carefully, and only after there was no weapon to carry it, did he let him go.

"Rizhao Cui Hu has seen the general!" Cui Hu entered the tent, muttered, and bowed down. Lao Jing stood quietly behind Zhilong's side.

Yu Zhilong is the head of the army, although he is young, but the hard battle, the big battle has been fought several times in a row, the life and death Shura field has turned a few times, and now he has gradually had a majestic appearance, at this time he is clearly dressed in armor, sitting in the military tent, seven or eight guards on both sides stand according to the sword, and it is not angry and self-assured.

Yu Zhilong gave him a seat, first thanked him for the salt on the mountain road, and then asked him about his origin today. Cui Hu couldn't help but be moved in his heart. He is a local salt lord in Rizhao and profits from smuggling salt. When Yamauchi and the Jing'an Army scouts met by chance, and after the two sides explained the reason, Cui Hu wanted to take care of the old people's feelings, so he just randomly ordered his subordinates to broadcast two mules and give the Jing'an Army a few picks of coarse salt. At that time, he did not expect that the Jing'an army would soon attack Keyishui, Juxian, Wulian and other places, and soon attack Rizhao City.

The Jing'an army was completely different from the style of the previous Xiangma and Liukou, and attacked the county government and other places along the way, and by no means plundered all the assets of the rich and gentry, and wantonly looted and distributed the seizures of the Yuan court's official mansion. Instead, they tried not to harm the interests of the middle and lower classes, and even distributed a large number of seized cattle, sheep, livestock, and land to them. Regardless of official land or private land, the upper limit of land rent must be approved, and the land property shall not exceed 30%; If it is a disaster year, the tenant can also be exempted from paying or less of the current year's land tax, and the land rent will be postponed to the next year; For the local gentlemen who are known to be clear, the Jing'an Army is mostly sincerely invited and entrusted with important positions; The restraints of the troops and horses are tight, and it is rare to hear of things that disturb the people, even if there are some, and then there are strange things about the soldiers who have violated the discipline being detained, punished in public, or punished!

When the Jing'an Army arrived in Rizhao, many dilapidated salt households along the coast received help from the Jing'an Army, and the family could finally take a breath and have a glimmer of life to survive. There are some people under Cui Hu, and the thoughts of buying land and doing small business are beginning to surge in their hearts.

Speaking of large-scale trafficking of illicit salt, since ancient times, it has been a matter of licking blood with a knife head and being precarious. If there is a more stable way to eat and wear, who wants to come out and do this business?

What the Jing'an Army did is quite fresh in the eyes of the world, but from Yu Zhilong's eyes, this model is extremely rough! After all, the Jing'an Army was created and lacked the backbone strength to govern and build the army, so it had to borrow a large number of retained Yuan court officials, and at the same time transfer a small number of veterans of the Jing'an Army to use them as the core to enrich the local officials.

But for Cui Hu and others, this model of rebellion has been a great eye-opener. The interests of the homeless people, the heads of the Qian, the small merchants, and the small and medium-sized landlords were not only not affected, but were also greatly taken care of. Many wealthy families and businessmen have been reused or allocated because their evil deeds are not obvious, or because they have been cleared by the local government; Now the people everywhere have heard the news, and even the military spirit of many Yuan court soldiers has also been affected.

There are dozens of large and small salt farms along the coast of Rizhao, which belong to the government and the private property of the powerful, and the salt households engaged in boiling and drying salt, including 10,000 households, and there are also thousands of people who sell illegal salt together, which are divided into more than a dozen large and small groups, and Cui Hu's group of people is a relatively large share.

Since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, there have been many evils in the government, and officials at all levels have pursued fame and fortune like bloodthirsty mosquitoes and flies. The people at the bottom are miserable. In order to hand over the layers of exploitation to the government, the salt households worked hard for a year, and they couldn't get a few copper plates. In order to make a living, it is not uncommon for large numbers of salt farmers to flee or engage in private salt trading.

Since the Jing'an army reached Rizhao, Cui Hu has closely observed, pondered repeatedly, and weighed the pros and cons before taking the initiative to visit Yu Zhilong today.

In the past two days, the Jing'an army has attacked the city in a hurry, and the sound of fighting can even be heard from more than ten miles away, and people from near and far have already spread the word. Cui Hu led his cronies to quietly investigate many times in the past few days, and saw that the Jing'an army was in a predicament, so he came over to offer advice.

Sure enough, Yu Zhilong waited for him to sit down, and after a brief greeting, he asked him what he meant.

Cui Hu hurriedly got up and bowed: "I have heard that General Fei is Gao Yi, General Zhao Shi is brave, and Cui and his brothers are full of admiration. Knowing that General Fei captured Rizhao and helped the local public, our small people were happy and jubilant, and they were all willing to serve General Fei's dogs and horses! ”

Yu Zhilong stroked his knees and smiled: "The Jing'an army is willing to drive blood for the common people, and it is really a blessing for our army to be able to get the help of strong men and your countrymen." ”

Xiangzi is hometown, Yu Zhilong said so, this is a metaphor for himself as Cui Hu's fellow villager.

Cui Hu was moved, and bowed again: "General Meng Fei's blue eyes, Cui is unforgettable!" Seeing the army under the city today, I thought about the general's distress. Cui has been in and out of Rizhao City all the year round, and he has some secret relationships with the city, so he is not willing to work for General Fei, or he can help him. ”

Yu Zhilong was overjoyed, the siege of the city in the past few days, the soldiers were killed and wounded, although the damage in the city was not low, the will and strength of resistance were declining, and the city would be breached sooner or later. However, seeing the various departments being consumed in the city, Yu Zhilong's heart ached.

"If you get this city, Cui Zhuangshi can be said to be the first merit!" Yu Zhilong stood up happily, helped Cui Hu up, and sat arm in hand with one side. Cui Hu didn't dare to be it, shirked it several times, and reluctantly did it in the next one.

"I don't know what to do?"

"Don't dare, now that the inside and outside of the city are completely cut off from the Tartars, the little one has a plan, and he is willing to present it to the adults. If you can really help adults, it is a blessing! ”
