Sure enough, they found a money kiln under the bed of the Laiwu prison envoy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, Zhao An was letting his team members get copper coins from the inside out, and several people were busy together.

He laughed and said to Captain Mu Mu: "Old Mu, you always say that 'rats are all saved for cats', and I just realized the joy in this today!" Ha ha! ”

Captain Mu Mu saw that almost all the copper coins were rusty, and some of them had rusted into a big lump.

In the end, I was busy for a long time, and even with some bronze utensils, it could be about 5,000 yuan, which weighed about two tons.

Captain Mu Mu looked at the pile of money and said with deep understanding:

"These are just the equivalent of commodities, and they have been embezzled and snatched by hard work, hoping to possess them forever, but how much can they be used in the end?!

Money is not guilty, but people's hearts are guilty------"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Zhao Antong's heart turned over, he thought, when he asked people to salvage the silver collar just now, no one else saw ------ kill the Laiwu prison envoy's entire family, and no one could find out, so he just said it, there was nothing else to refer to.

He smiled dryly and said, "Exactly, exactly." People die for money, birds die for food, and such people only see what they see in front of them. ”

Captain Mu Mu said: "Commander Zhao, this statement is reasonable, I have written it down." ”

Zhao An's eyelids jumped, and he didn't say much.

They picked out some copper coins that could still be used, and packed the rest and sent them back to Liuqiu Island for recuperation.

Then, they took the home of the Laiwu Inspector as a station and began to discuss the defense of the place.

The problems encountered by Zibo City are similar to those of Laiwu City.

Zibo is located in the middle of Shandong Road, bordering the Yimeng Mountains in the south, Binzhou City in the north, Weizhou in the east, and Jinan City in the west.

It's full of hills and jungles.

During the Great Song Dynasty, Linzi County belonged to Qingzhou; During the Dajin period, Linzi County belonged to Yidu Prefecture; By 1266, Linzi County had just been incorporated into the Yidu Administrative Region.

The Zibo City area is the choke point connecting the Central Plains and the Shandong Peninsula, and if it can be defended, the enemy from the north can basically only take the sea route to the Shandong Peninsula.

Of course, the owner of Zhang Guoan also knows that the mineral concentration here is relatively high, and important minerals such as coal, iron, bauxite, and refractory clay are mostly concentrated in the central region.

So, both from a geographical and mineral point of view, it is necessary to take full possession of this place!

Captain Bowie sent Captain Merozie, who was considered to be the most steady.

When they arrived on a rapid march, no one fled here, but the county surrendered!

It turns out that this place is relatively close to Binzhou City, and the people on both sides often move around not to mention, and they also have relatives and friends living in the two cities.

Therefore, some people in Zibo City are still aggrieved, why didn't they bring me and others in the first place?

Originally, the people in Binzhou City were not as wealthy as our county, but now they are better off than me, and they don't have to pay all kinds of taxes and goods------ and there are people who run away to the Shandong Peninsula in private.

The magistrate of Zibo is from a small family, and there is no way to be promoted, not to mention, and every year he is made desperate to die by the collection of tax fees and miscellaneous taxes, and sometimes he has to pay his own money to make up for it.

Above, he was scolded like a dog by the chief; Below, those big businessmen did not pay much attention to him, and some of the most vicious mine owners spoke ill of him, threatening him with the miners making trouble at every turn.

This magistrate is too boring, but he can't resign and go------ where can he go?

If he runs to the Shandong Peninsula publicly, will people think he is a fine worker?

If he is caught, the whole family is finished.

Therefore, he sometimes looks forward to it, begging people, you come and occupy the city!

It's not my fault that I can't stop you------

As soon as Captain Merozie's cavalry arrived, they were greeted by the men.

The happiest person is probably the magistrate here, because he can't complete the tax collection task this year, and he will definitely not be able to run away if he is scolded.

This is good, if the tax is robbed by the pirates, don't blame me!

When Captain Merozie announced that they would be permanently stationed here, and like the Shandong Peninsula, they would not charge any taxes, the magistrate of Zibo was overjoyed, so good!

Even if they fail in the future, they are not wrong, it is not that he took the initiative to surrender to the enemy, but that he was captured!

If you don't fail, you'll be better, and you finally don't have to worry about those idle things------ but if you really don't have the official position of the magistrate, you don't feel very good in your heart.

When he was in a dilemma, Captain Mei Lezhi announced again, let him still be the magistrate of the county------ had already investigated in advance, this official was quite upright, and the official reputation was good in the hearts of ordinary people.

The magistrate of Zibo was overjoyed, he had heard that Liuqiu appointed a student of the Great Song Dynasty to take charge of the county, and thought that the official was the easiest official in the world, as long as he was not required to collect taxes, what was not easy to do? !

The magistrate of Zibo came to confidence, and he made a gesture at Captain Mei Lezhi and said, "General Mei, can you get the same treatment as the magistrate of the Shandong Peninsula?!" ”

Captain Merozie agreed without thinking about it, and treated fairly, which is one of the philosophies of the island.

"You're going to get more help here," he said------

Sure enough, when Zhang Guoan Island Master received their summary report, he drew three circles together with a compass, and decided to give up the wall-based defense, which was too restrictive to development, since he had come to this point, let go of himself, expand the scope of defense, and dare to let the opponent enter his circle!

His advice to the half-sized people was a 16-character policy: adapt measures to local conditions, deploy defenses reasonably, protect yourself, and strike at the enemy.

He increased the supply of supplies to the three cities and let them operate on their own.

It's time for more people to make their own choices.

Now the entire Shandong Peninsula has also become their supply base, not to mention Liuqiu Island.

When they had completely taken possession of the three cities, Captain Bao Wei immediately issued a second order, telling them to divide their forces to take over the other areas, and not to let go of any corner of the Shandong Road.

They want to achieve the integrity of the entire Shandong Road, leaving no hidden dangers, and it is better to be monolithic.

Captain Guo Beyu asked Captain Zhang Depei to take Mizhou City with five warships, and at the same time asked him to lead his team members to the Zaozhuang area.

The other fleet landed in Xihaizhou, where they had already contacted the governor in advance, and the Great Song government had agreed in advance.

The Xihaizhou area belonged to Huainan Road during the Taizong period of the Great Song Dynasty, and was later occupied by the Jin State.

During the period of Gaozong of the Great Song Dynasty, Haizhou was restored to the Great Song Dynasty, and a few years later, it was ceded to the Jin State.

It was not until 1220 that Haizhou returned to the Great Song Dynasty again and was renamed Xihaizhou.

But there are some peculiar circumstances at the moment.

The city of Xihaizhou was indeed under the control of the Great Song Dynasty, but the northern part of it was forcibly occupied by the Tatar bandit group, which belonged to one place and two systems.

The governor of Xihai Prefecture is often depressed, but he is helpless.

Because when Li Tan was in rebellion, an army of the Great Song Dynasty set out from here to meet Li Tan, but the Tatar army was beaten violently and fled back in embarrassment, while the Tatar army followed and occupied a large piece of land in the north, which was integrated with the Shandong Road.

Previously, the Stream of the Navy did not bother there less, but the damage was not great, and it did not touch the root of the Tatars.

This time, Captain Guo Beyu demanded that the captain of the feudal battle must eliminate the Tatar forces in that place.

According to the previous investigation, there were no cavalry, less than 500 soldiers.

But at such a level, the governor of Xihai Prefecture did not dare to recapture it privately, for fear of taking on the responsibility of starting a private war.

Where does the navy care about this, they do not allow themselves to have Tatar forces behind them!

There can be ahead, so that they can attack and defend, so that they can always take the initiative. (To be continued.) )
