Chapter 149: Envy
Luo Rucai watched the Xingtian Army's craftsman camp lively, and saw truckloads of coal and iron entering the craftsman's camp, and boxes of built weapons and piles of farm tools were built by the craftsmen of the craftsman camp and transported to various places controlled by the Xingtian Army, and he couldn't help but salivate a little bit.
Now he finally knows why Xiao Tianjian has developed to such a point in just a few years, the Xingtianjun is so good at managing the territory, and the things produced by this craftsman's battalion are the foundation of a strong army!
Thinking that he has been fighting in the north and south for so many years, but he has never established such a territory of his own anywhere, he used to wonder why the Xingtian Army was able to gain a foothold in the small Jinnan, but after he arrived here, he realized that the original Xingtian Army did not just rely on buying people's hearts, but laid their foundation solidly.
If only this place could be his! He had also led his troops to Lushi County before, but he was just chased out of Tongguan by the officials and soldiers at the beginning, passing through here, but he didn't expect that there was so much coal and iron here, if he had known earlier, how could it be Xiao Tianjian's turn to occupy here?
"Big boss, this Xingtian Army doesn't take us seriously! The big boss has also been here for more than two months, but the man surnamed Xiao has always turned a blind eye, so he is so hungry and full of food and let us dry here, and he doesn't give a piece of armor, what is his intention? If you want me to say, the big boss will simply pull up another pole here, or leave here and pull it down! Save on their faces! A man who followed Luo Rucai also looked at the craftsmen's camp in and out with envy, and said to Luo Rucai.
Luo Rucai turned his head and waved his hand: "You can't say that, didn't the high leader also say it recently?" During this time, their Xingtian Army fought very fiercely with the government in the area of central Henan, and captured several prefectures and counties in a row, and now the soldiers have already entered the territory of Junzhou! So it's natural that Xiao is not available! We are now sheltered under the wings of others, so they are still providing us with food and drink, so you don't have to be full of slander anymore!
Walk? Where is it so simple? You must know that I have heard that the eight kings have been forced by Xiong Wencan to surrender to the imperial court at the moment, and now there are two dog officials Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting staring at Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, has also recently fought with them between Sichuan and Shaanxi, and now the only one who can fight against the government is Xiao Tianjian's Xingtian Army!
Let's go? Where can they go? Xiong Wencan is in Xiangyang, isn't our defeat in Yunyang bad enough? Unable to go south, to the east? Didn't the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution just suffer defeat in Kaifeng Mansion and Guide Mansion and run back to Jiangbei? To Shanxi? Lu Xiangsheng, the killing god, is in charge of Xuanda Shanxi's military affairs, are we still at a loss in Jiezhou? Heading west back to Shaanxi? Where are Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting waiting for us!
After we arrived here, we have only lived a few days of stable life, and if we go now, we will be destroyed by Xiong Wencan if we are not careful, so for now, we still have to look at his face under the eyelids of his surname Xiao, and let's talk about it in a few days!
But this junior is too arrogant, he actually left me Luo here for so long, I want to see how he settles us!
But on the other hand, I have to admit that his surname Xiao is indeed a capable person, and he has risen and grown to such an extent in just a few years, look at their craftsman camp, if we also have such a craftsman camp, who are we afraid of in this world? ”
The Collapse of Heaven General glanced at the craftsman camp of the Xingtian Army again, and he was also envious to death, and suddenly whispered to Luo Rucai: "Big boss, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to take this Lu County and pull it down?" Wouldn't we have a foundation in this way? Won't this artisan camp become ours? ”
Luo Rucai was startled after hearing this, and immediately looked around, fortunately he was followed by a few of his henchmen, so he hurriedly scolded the Collapse General with a heavy face: "Shut up!" Have you forgotten what this place is? How can I, Luo Rucai, do such unfaithful and unrighteous things? Although Xiao Tianjian was a little slow to treat me, but after all, we are running to join him now, and he didn't sit idly by after all, and gave us some grain every now and then, how could I, Luo, take advantage of him to fight with the government in front of him and take the opportunity to copy his back road?
What's more, if according to what you said, if we copy his back road, how can this surnamed Xiao sit idly by? You must know that this Xingtian Army is not a vegetarian, over the years, how many generals of the official army have been defeated in their hands, once they turn their faces, how can we be his opponents? You know, now we only have three or four thousand brothers left, and we can't beat him! Even if this Lushi County can be grabbed, we may not be able to hold it! In the end, you will be kicked out! On the contrary, he offended a killing god again!
No one is allowed to say this kind of thing again! Be honest with me, what you have done recently has already hurt the Xingtian Army, and the local leaders here have not complained to me, so you better restrain yourself! Don't fucking trouble me! ”
After hearing this, the Collapse of the Sky quickly bowed his head and said yes, but his face was disapproving, and he turned his head and said, "Didn't you just rob a few big households?" We have robbed not 1,000 big households over the years, I'm afraid there are 800, what is it to grab a few more big households? Didn't they rob the Heavenly Army? I heard that when they fought Yongning, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were copied out from the house of King Wan'an alone, not to mention in Shanxi, when they conquered Zezhou City, I am afraid that there were millions of taels of gold and silver copied out! Now it's up to us! Why? ”
Luo Rucai shook his head and said, "That's it! The big families here should have been cleaned up by their Xingtian Army a long time ago, and the rest are just small fish and shrimp, and they won't kill them all, right? At present, all these big families in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army have already belonged to the Xingtian Army, and it is always unreasonable for you to rob and kill! If you can't be idle, you can bring some brothers these days, you might as well go to Nanyang Mansion and take some wild food! Save me here! ”
After hearing this, the Collapse General nodded and agreed, but let him take people to Nanyang Mansion to eat now, he didn't want to think about it, I heard that since the surrender of the Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, during this time, Zuo Liangyu of Huguang has led his troops to move to the Nanyang area, and the troops are said to be tens of thousands. So he would rather lie in the territory of Lushi County than go to charge such a big egg now!
After Luo Rucai took people around, he galloped towards them on the way, this time he was also idle, so he simply took the collapsed sky and other cronies to the north of Lushi County to walk around, and what he saw along the way made Luo Rucai quite shocked.
In his impression, Lushi County last passed through here, although it was not said that it was a hundred miles of red land, but it was basically dilapidated, a large number of farmland had long been abandoned, and it was normal for dozens of miles to be uninhabited, but this time he came here again, what he saw was a different scene, the original large number of abandoned land has now been reclaimed, and planted with grain, although it is now a cold winter and a moon, but everywhere in the farmland, most of them are covered with green wheat seedlings, Even if the land has not been planted with wheat, it is clear that it has been deeply cultivated in advance, and after this winter has accumulated enough snow water and fertility, grain can be planted immediately at the beginning of the next spring, and the autumn will certainly be a good harvest.
And those villages that have been abandoned in large numbers are now restored to a vibrant scene, and you can see the smoke in these villages from a distance, which is extremely difficult to see in the southern part of the Shanxi River at present, although the people's clothes are still tattered, but there are a lot of less dishes, and there is a sense of satisfaction on their faces, and what surprises Luo Rucai is that although it is not said that it is not closed at night, but the ground is also very stable, It is common to see a large number of farmers in various villages and villages, under the leadership of some Xingtian soldiers, shouting to kill the earth-shattering martial arts training team at the head of the village.
Such a scene shocked Luo Rucai and his party, the current scene in Lushi County, placed in the territory of Daming, is basically a paradise, they are a little confused, how capable is this Xiao Tianjian, he can actually manage such a scene.
In their original consciousness, the rebellion is nothing more than robbing the big households, killing the officials and gentry, gathering between the mountains and forests, and opposing the imperial court and the government, and most of what they do can be said to be destruction, but they rarely consider construction, hitting a county town, it is enough for them to eat for a few days, and after eating up, they will march towards the next goal, no one thinks about staying in one place, waiting for the officials and soldiers to come and suppress them.
But Xiao Tianjian is obviously very different from their approach, Xingtianjun is obviously occupying territory, laying down a land to operate a land, and then using these territories they occupy to feed their soldiers and horses, and at the same time using these acquired resources to continue to expand their territory, in this way, it is like a snowball getting stronger and stronger, first in Jinnan, and now Xiao Tianjian has led his troops to Henan, what is the next step for him to do? Luo Rucai secretly pondered as he walked, for Xiao Tianjian, he gradually began to look down on him so much, but thought about his approach during this time, and felt that it was a bit excessive, when he returned to his camp, he found a few of his subordinates and said to them: "It's not a way for us to go on like this here, do you see if we also move our nest, it's time to go to Ruzhou to meet the surnamed Xiao?" ……”
And just after Luo Rucai led a few subordinates to the north of Lushi County to go around and go back, the meticulous work of several Xingtian troops relaxed, stopped tracking and monitoring them, and turned back to report the situation to their upper peak.
