"My lord, if you want those squires to obediently take out the money, it's useless to just post notices."

Su Yi was a little disappreciative and said, "Then what good advice do you have?" ”

Zhang Hongsheng said with a smile: "Lord, on the one hand, you asked Ma Bin to post a notice at the gate of the county government, so that the people of the whole city know that you reached out to those powerful and squires to ask for silver not to fill their pockets, but to strengthen the city defense of the county and protect their lives." In this way, the demand for money will be louder among the people. ”

"But ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Hongsheng changed his words, "This is far from enough, the lord might as well send a team of soldiers and horses to attack Shangjun County......"

Before he finished speaking, Scar shouted angrily: "Hongsheng, what are you talking nonsense? Sending troops to attack Shangjun County, are you crazy? The garrison of Shangjun County is the brother of the cottage, and you let our own people fight our own people? ”

Su Yi's heart moved, he hurriedly stopped Scar's angry shouting, and said to Zhang Hongsheng: "You go on." ”

Zhang Hongsheng nodded, didn't bother to pay attention to Scar's questioning, and said, "We can contact Ma Bin in advance and send a team of soldiers and horses to feint to attack Shangjun." When the lord first began to raise money, those powerful and squires would definitely shirk in every possible way, and at this time, although the people also hoped that the imperial court could strengthen the city wall for them, they would not openly stand on the side of the government to fight against those powerful forces. ”

"If the bandits' soldiers and horses attack the city, almost break through the city, and even kill some people in the city, then their call to strengthen the city wall will be even higher, and the squires who are unwilling to fund the construction of the city wall to the government will become the target of public criticism, and will be scolded by the people of the entire county! At that time, wouldn't it be easy for the lord to clean up these notorious recruited squires? ”

Su Yi nodded, it was rare for this dog-headed military advisor to put forward a reliable suggestion, although this strategy was shoddy, but the effect was significant.

At the very least, the people of Shangjun County would not suspect that the bandits attacking the county seat were sent by Su Yi. Even if some squires guessed the doorway, they didn't dare to bring it up rashly.

Once the bandits attacked the city, causing great casualties to the people, those squires who were unwilling to invest in strengthening the city wall became the target of the entire county, and when the time came, they were too busy to take care of themselves, how could they dare to stand up and question Su Yi.

That's a good suggestion. Su Yi admired Zhang Hongsheng a little at this time, and his gaze at him also had a little appreciation.

In fact, Su Yi didn't know that Zhang Hongsheng's grandfather was the village head, although his grandfather was only a village head, but he was very good at greedy for ink and silver, embezzling the collective property of the village, and the most famous point was that Zhang Hongsheng's grandfather decided to collect silver from every household in the entire village in order to build a wooden fence on the periphery of the village.

At first, many families did not agree to give up this money. As a result, his grandfather colluded with the village chief of Lincun, and Lincun sent more than 20 young adults, all of whom covered their faces, pretending to be bandits outside, and with Zhang Hongsheng's grandfather secretly helping, these "bandits" lit a fire outside Zhangjia Village to make trouble, and even threw torches into the village, almost burning up the village's grain stock.

Wait for these "bandits" to retreat. Zhang Hongsheng's grandfather then proposed to the villagers to build a fence to strengthen the village's fortifications. Not many people dared to stand up against it, which impressed Zhang Hongsheng.

The so-called burned grain was actually secretly transported back to his own warehouse by Zhang Hongsheng's grandfather, but he claimed to have burned a lot by bandits, but in fact it was all moved into his own home.

Zhang Hongsheng grew up under the protection of his grandfather since he was a child, and he was exposed to it. Naturally, he also learned some about his grandfather's methods.

Su Yi quickly adopted Zhang Hongsheng's suggestion, sent Fang Jing with a team of bandits, pretended to sneak attack Shangjun County, and at the same time sent someone to contact Ma Bin and let him go with Fang Jing. Play a fake scene of bandits attacking the city.

After Fang Jing got the order, he took a group of bandits down the mountain to kill them mightily, most of these bandits were taken refuge in other cottages, or they were the rogues who had newly returned to the Peach Blossom Village, these people had a strong banditry, and at a glance they knew that they were bandits from the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges.

Because Ma Bin got the news in advance, he intended to let the Xiangyong led by Meng Hai avoid them, and then Ma Bin went to the barracks to inspect under the pretext of rectifying the soldiers and horses.

Fang Jing had led a group of rogues to ransack Su Yi's team, and almost knocked down Su Yi's team at that time, such a gangsterly team, under his leadership, was almost a group of hungry tigers who did not choose to eat, attacking the weakest West Gate of Shangjun County.

As a result, there was no suspense, Fang Jing rushed into the dilapidated West Gate without encountering any resistance, and even some wise rogues smashed the weak city wall of the West Gate during the impact. When these bandits entered Shangjun County, the people of the entire county were stunned.

So a brutal and inhumane wreak broke out in the upper county.

Hearing the news, the white body caught up with the street was quickly defeated, and these murderous bandits began to storm the courtyards of some squires.

These squires sent their private soldiers to fight the bandits, but they underestimated the fighting power of the bandits.

The bandits who came down the mountain from Fangjing were all murderers who pinched and killed people in the mountains without seeing blood, where were the ordinary squires and powerful private armies their opponents, and the people who were killed on the spot turned on their backs, and these bandits were brutal and rushed into the squire's house for a while.

The entire Shangjun County became a mess, but fortunately, Ma Bin arrived in time and drove these bandits away with the garrison of Shangjun County.

After this gang of bandits withdrew from the county seat, the streets of the entire Shangjun County were in a mess, like a little girl who had been ruined, and the people of Shangjun County came to the gate of the county government one after another, accusing the government of inaction, so that these bandits were killed in the city.

Ma Bin was also in tears, while he showed Su Yi's notice to the people, he alluded to the fact that many squires in Shangjun were unwilling to pay for the repair of the city wall, so that the already angry people were even more angry, and they even ran to the gate of some squires to accuse each other loudly.

One of the hot-tempered members was furious, he rolled up his sleeves angrily, ran to the gate and shouted at the people: "You are also the people of Shangjun County, and you also have a share in reinforcing the city wall of Shangjun County, why do you want Lao Tzu to pay, why don't you pay?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he was immediately drowned in the saliva of many people.

For the reinforcement of the city wall in Shangjun County, these people support it, and they want them to pay for the repair of the city wall themselves, they don't support it, but they strongly support it if they want the rich and powerful people in Shangjun County to pay for it.

This is the people in troubled times.

They are unwilling to spend money to strengthen the city wall, these people feel that it is justified, and the rich and powerful squire forces in Shangjun County are unwilling to spend money to strengthen the city wall, they feel that the other party is simply extremely vicious. (To be continued.) )
