Chapter 266: Son, Beheading, and Prosperity
On May 12, Wang Zheng, the chief soldier of Denglai, led the Dengzhou battalion to quell the chaos caused by the Wenxiang Sect and returned to Penglai, and ten days later, Jiang Yi, the head of the Wenxiang Church, was bound to the central market and beheaded.
I thought that the Wenxiang Sect was not a Tartar, and few people should see the beheading, but I didn't think that the people were extremely active, and the central market could only accommodate a maximum of two thousand people, which could not fit at all.
This is the negligence of the Military Division, and the left and right military councils Li Yan and Guan Qingtian are slightly combined, and they are simply pulled outside the city to be beheaded, but first they have to let Shao Yong, the commander of the defenders of Penglai, lead the troops to the school field to deal with it first.
In the midst of the discussion, Jiang Yi was loaded into a prisoner cart and guarded by twenty soldiers.
Don't look at the escort, there are only twenty people, but there is no one around who dares to think crookedly, and many people are talking about it on the side.
The soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion are not ordinary people, I heard that every one of them has at least dozens of lives on their hands, and these lives are not good and risky, among which there are all kinds of thieves, and even there are a lot of them.
Just these twenty soldiers, Ming Jia walked down the street with a knife, and the slaughtering formation quieted down the noisy voices around a lot.
Today's wind is not too strong, probably because of the Xiaoice River, in May, this wind is still a little cool, many people are still wrapped in thicker clothes.
At this moment, all kinds of people gathered in the school yard and who were rushing over, I was afraid that there would be at least a few thousand people, Jiang Yi, who was trapped in the prisoner car, had no expression of fear at all, and craned his neck to look around.
"Haha, I Jiangyi also has such a time?"
Hearing Jiang Yi's shout, the twenty soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion around him did not react, without any expression on their faces, and walked into the school field with firm steps.
At this time, silence is better than sound, and the steel knives held by these soldiers in their hands glowed with a cold light, as if to warn those who have crooked thoughts.
When it comes to Penglai City now, it is no longer what it was a few years ago.
Under Wang Zheng's rule, there have been no major wars in recent years, pirates, pirates, and Dongyu are all difficult to see, and the farmland in Denglai and Denglai is basically saturated, but refugees still come in droves every day.
Even if they can't plough the fields, they are mostly reluctant to leave, looking for farms and factories everywhere to help, fortunately, the wages in these places are not lower than other places in the Ming Dynasty, and it is enough to be fed and clothed.
In addition to refugees and ordinary people, there are also many children of large families who come to watch, which also starts from the current gathering of business travelers in Penglai.
In addition to the bulk of salt goods, the goods of the Dengzhou camp were initially transported to the whole of Shandong through the Jining Yongchang Contract, and a few years ago they had a lot of transactions with the Zheng family's Ba Fujian Commercial Bank and the large Guichang of Nanzhili.
In this way, Penglai, Jining, Fujian to the south of the Yangtze River are connected into a series of trade routes, there are land and water routes, and business travelers from all over the country are stationed in Penglai City in an endless stream.
As a result, some local products from Denglai and Dae spread to Jiangnan, and the precious jade and silk from Jiangnan also entered Denglai Market, and there was a thriving scene everywhere.
Of course, there is no one person in business.
That is Fan Ruohai, he fought wits and courage with those black-hearted businessmen, and when his net worth doubled, he also continued to make deals for the Dengzhou camp, and it can be said that his current status is earned by his own efforts.
When it comes to Fan Ruohai, everyone knows that he used to be a local salt dealer in Ninghai Prefecture who sold smuggled salt, and he became bigger and bigger with Wang Zheng, and now he is involved in all kinds of transactions and transactions.
Except for some more important people who need Wang Zheng to meet in person, the shopkeepers of other large and small businesses in other places must first interview Fan Ruohai to explore the tone of the Dengzhou camp, and if the negotiation is correct, the results will be presented to Wang Zheng in the end.
Fan Ruohai is often not in Denglai, and as soon as he goes out, it is at least a month, and he even went to Datong to talk about buying horses in Dengzhou, and a few days ago, his wife went to the marshal's mansion to beg the king to fight for a time.
said that it was less to send Fan Ruohai to do some things, Wang Zheng laughed dumbly at that time, he was not familiar with these various transactions, and without Fan Ruohai, he really couldn't get to the point where he was making money today and the treasury was full.
Wang Zheng also has a wife, and it has just been rumored that she is pregnant with a son, so of course she knows the pain of the woman's family staying alone in an empty house.
But men have their own careers to do, Fan Ruohai is no exception, career depends on action to achieve success, if he stays in Gentle Township every day, he may still be a salt seller in Ninghaizhou now.
Wang Zheng naturally couldn't talk to a woman about these ideas, and when he was thinking about how to persuade him, Yu'er came to pull Fan Ruohai's wife away, which solved Wang Zheng's urgent need.
It seems that the affairs between women still have to be handed over to this virtuous helper.
Fan Ruohai only arrived in Penglai last night, and got up after sleeping for a long time, and was standing next to the platform at the moment, Huang Yang patted him on the shoulder, saying that compared to before, now he is oily and fat.
Wang Zheng on the stage also looked at Fan Ruohai and smiled, and it was obvious that others were a little blessed.
Fan Ruohai hurriedly turned around and said that it was the great joy of Zhentai, which caused Wang Zheng to laugh and wave his hand, in fact, he has been busy all over the place, and he has not been able to go home for many years, but when he thinks about it, this kind of busyness is really fulfilling and worthwhile.
It is false to say that there is no pride, and now when it comes to him Fan Ruohai, who doesn't know that he is the number one butler under Wang Zhengwang Zhentai.
Although the merchants in the entire Shandong cannot be talked about, in Denglai, Fan Ruohai has already been a stable leader with the support of the Dengzhou camp and his shrewd mind.
What, you don't know who Wang Zhengwang Zhentai is?
Then you are too lonely and unheard, you have heard of the Dengzhou camp, you have heard of the great victory of Hetuala, the heroes of the entire Dengzhou camp are all serving under Wang Zheng.
What makes the generals and landlords in various places most afraid is not this, because the Dengzhou battalion is different from Zuo Liangyu's left battalion, the left battalion is like a floating root, there is no foundation wherever it goes, and it will be over to deal with it.
The roots of the Dengzhou camp are rooted in Penglai, Dengzhou, and they spread everywhere like branches.
Since Liu Bu was wiped out by one sentence, the Dengzhou battalion in the entire Shandong can be described as a dominant one, from the infantry to the horse team, and then to the logistics of the bird artillery, almost the strongest in Shandong.
Speaking of the actual strength of the Dengzhou battalion, I am afraid that no one knows, from the lowest salt to the top soldiers, the minimum number of soldiers who can be pulled out and carry swords and guns into battle is more than 10,000.
In addition, Wang Zheng even built a small "Denglai Port" in Laizhou Bay, where a fleet of thousands of people and hundreds of large and small ships took shape.
Under the leadership of Jiang Da and Liu Si, the commanders of the left and right, this sailor has been training in Laizhou Bay for several months, and this is also the only sailor in Shandong that can go out to fight now.
No one knows exactly how Wang Zheng did all this in just a few years.
