Chapter 392: Incompetence
When Liu Shisan arrived at Zhenhe Manor, the outpost of this manor had not yet sent back the news that there was a large flow of people nearby, but the rebellious slaves could only pass through here according to the signs, that is, the way home.
Since there is no sign of crowding, it means that Liu Shisan himself did rush to the front of the other party, and incidentally, everyone took six horses to transfer, and four horses were tired to death on the road. Liu Shisan's two years in the process of the captivity of the thirty-three guards, but he did not lose his martial arts.
Therefore, the physical condition is maintained quite well, Zhenhe Manor is the main road of communication between Guanwai and North Korea, and the distance from the nearest Ming army barracks is about one hundred and thirty miles, which can be said to be a very important hub. However, it can also be seen from here that Tie Dan is not good at military affairs.
Jiang Feng finished fighting the Tile Thorn Mongols, but arranged for the troops to arrange defenses near the military town of Daming and at both ends of the Taer River Valley, and the other garrisons were handed over to Tie Dan to deploy, since Tie Dan and Jiang Feng separated, they have been really migrating craftsmen near Tianjin Wei to recruit new soldiers.
Later, he bought a manor outside the Guan, and he was a qualified landlord and manor owner, and even a businessman, which can be said to be excellent, but marching and fighting these are really laymen.
After Jiang Feng arranged the garrisons in various places, there were still about 1,500 mobile forces that could be deployed by Tie Dan, and the combat effectiveness of the Jiang family army was indeed very strong, and the formation of 400 people could stop more than ten times the enemy with cold weapons under the condition of sufficient ammunition and complete fortifications. Tie Dan still understood this, and as a result, he split the 1,500 people into four teams.
Defending the four largest manors of the reclamation respectively, he meant that through the garrison of these soldiers, he firmly controlled these large estates with a size of more than 50,000 people. However, the current situation outside and inside the Guan, whether it is the guards or the Han Min, only Jiang Feng's force can be relied on, without Jiang Feng, the glory and wealth in his hands will disappear. They themselves will fight desperately for Jiang Feng, and they don't have to think about any loyalty.
In other words, as a qualified general, to use his army to firmly control the vast and sparsely populated place outside the Guanwai, the most important thing is to hold the traffic artery, the survival of the manor outside the Guanxi is inseparable from the entry and exit of goods by water and land, if you hold the traffic artery, it is undoubtedly to choke the lifeline, you must know that there are so many people outside the Guan, all the salt needed is supplied by Jiang Feng.
As long as you guard these dangerous places such as passes, the entire outside the pass can only be obedient and obedient, but Tie Dan obviously has no such knowledge.
Jiang Feng also knew that Tie Dan was not worth relying on militarily, but when he left Guanwai, the threats around him and the potential threats were not likely to attack in the near future, so he was ready to wait until the new people were sent to redeploy the arrangements, and no one thought that those supple and gentle slaves outside the Guanxi would actually start a rebellion.
So after Liu Shisan came to Zhenhe Manor, he brought a few people with him, and in the manor, there were more than 30 guards who had just returned from the grassland, and 200 regimental training.
The field area of Zhenhe Manor is not large, and there are not many slaves here, but the way to make money in this manor is similar to that of the Jurchen tribe in the past, selling the special products outside the gate to the Guannei to earn this difference. Therefore, the Han people who were taken in here were not used as slaves to farm, but as merchants.
The guards are all fiefdoms with pastures on the grassland, and these guards of Zhenhe Manor were unexpectedly elated after receiving this gift, instead of resisting this because of the delay in making money from commerce as Zhou Weiren thought.
For the guards of Zhenhe Manor, their business with Guannai is close to saturation, although the share of this manor's participation is not too large, because a lot of business is monopolized by the big businessmen in Huazhou and Guannai, and the guards are just behind others, drinking soup.
After knowing that they were going to rotate on the grassland, they immediately turned the road and the grassland into their own sales routes, and the guards of Zhenhe Manor all took various specialties purchased in the customs and sold them to the Hermes-Epitek and the guards of each manor along the way, and even the troops of Huazhou. It made Tie Dan choke, thinking why he didn't see this opportunity to make a fortune.
Anyone who is engaged in this kind of industry, don't expect to have any combat effectiveness at all, the guards of Zhenhe Manor are very despised among the warriors outside the Guan, and the guards of Zhenhe are called the "Zhenhe Horse Gang", and the Horse Gang has never been about the armed forces, and they are generally traders.
What was in front of Liu 13 was such a force, when he came here, seeing that the people in the manor were as usual, Liu 13 thought that these guards and the regimental trainers had already been prepared in their hearts, and they were calm and calm here, but they didn't expect that the leader of several guards would lead him into the house with a smile, serve him good tea, and ask Shangguan what the purpose of coming here is.
As soon as this sentence came out, it was Liu Shisan, who was out of breath, who was stunned, he put the tea that had been brought to his mouth on the table, and said:
"Don't you know that there are rebellious slaves coming here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the tea bowls in the hands of several guards sitting under Liu Shisan's head couldn't hold them, and they fell directly to the ground, and one of the round middle-aged people said in a trembling voice:
"My lord, my lord, what you said is true."
Several guards behind Liu Shisan, because they were all rushing all the way, but the military situation was urgent, even if they were physically exhausted, they couldn't go down to rest, and they sat there quite rudely in this discussion room, seeing the cowardly performance of these guards in Zhenhe Manor, each of them showed a look of disdain on their faces.
Liu 13 This is the first time to come to the area outside the pass, but his guards are familiar with the road outside the pass, so they were selected to lead the way, they know the guards outside the pass very well, in their hearts, although these guards outside the pass are still far behind the Jiang family, but many people are much stronger in personal bravery, and most of the Jiang family army are foot soldiers.
However, the guards are all skilled in equestrianism, and they even went up to the gate to seek money for their lives, and they were brave and desperate, no one thought that the guards would have such a nest.
The guards also didn't save face at all, and the two of them directly whispered behind Liu Shisan's back and said:
"When I was in the Taal River, those brothers were fierce generals, which was too wasteful, and it was really humiliating."
Although the voice was small, Liu Shisan, who was close, heard it clearly, and suddenly turned around and glared at a few mouthy young guards, those guards shrank their heads, and they didn't dare to say more, Liu Shisan turned around for fear that the guard knights in Zhenhe would not be able to hold their faces, and wanted to say a few words to drag back the scene, but they didn't expect that the guards and knights were already panicked and gathered together to talk quietly, thinking that they didn't hear the slander behind at all.
Seeing such a scene, Liu Shisan's heart was also a little angry, Jiang Feng's subordinates, whether they were soldiers or regimental training people, all paid attention to a martial arts first, such a wreck in front of him really didn't know how to be selected, and he didn't care about the problem of face, Liu Shisan asked coldly:
"What? Didn't our manor receive a warning from the other manor's pillar of fire? ”
When the people below heard this, they didn't panic, and the round man showed an embarrassed look on his face, and said in a low voice:
"My lord, we have that manpower here, and that one is insufficient, so I haven't sent out to see the police for a long time."
Although the face of the person on the side was embarrassed, he immediately spoke:
"My lord, our manor is too small, you brought six people, why don't we go to other manors to take refuge for a while?"
Hearing this, Liu Shisan's face suddenly became gloomy, according to reason, people who do business must be accustomed to observing words and feelings, but the one who spoke did not have any consciousness, and still chattered there:
"Actually, the villain has another way, this is one hundred and fifty miles away from the Ming Dynasty's guard, we can rely on it......"
Liu Shisan's face relaxed, he didn't speak, he just pulled out his waist knife and put it on the table on the side, although the Korean slave who was about to come in the distance was a threat, it was far less murderous than Liu Shisan's murderous spirit in front of him, and the cold light of the weapons on the table was terrifying.
The few guards sitting in the room were actually very strong, or to put it more ugly, these people were all wide-hearted and fat, what kind of courage could they talk about, looking at Liu Shisan's appearance, they all swallowed and foamed involuntarily.
The room fell silent, and Liu Shisan asked coldly:
"A few people didn't know what they did a year ago, thinking that if they mixed well in the customs and ate well, no one would come to this bitter cold place, and now you have money and officials, do you want to enjoy peace? If there is chaos outside the border, you will still be worse than before......"
After being quiet for a long time, looking at the several guards behind Liu Shisan, who stood up with murderous faces and weapons in hand, the leader of the guards of Zhenhe Manor said dryly:
"Protecting the land and protecting the village is exactly where our duty lies......"
