Glancing at her, Liu Fangfei said: "Don't cry, wait in the pride with peace of mind, and soon, you will know that I am not lying to you." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Hearing this, Miss Meng looked at Liu Fangfei carefully with teary eyes, and saw that she was serious, so she retracted her head back to her arrogance in disbelief.

There is no need to repeat what happened next, Miss Meng returned to Governor Meng's mansion, the ransom of 200,000 taels was returned, and the captured officers and soldiers also returned to the camp smoothly, and it can be said that the result was very satisfying.

Meng Zhifu and Chen Sheng, the military commander, praised Zhao Guohua, and Song Zhixian was full of praise for Zhao Guohua's joint defense team.

In Yang Degui's mansion, the county seat of YX, the Yang father and son are discussing ways to deal with Zhao Guohua.

"Dad, this Zhao Manzi's joint defense team seems to be standing." Yang Rui said dejectedly in the house.

As soon as the news that the joint defense team defeated the bandits in Jinggangshan spread throughout Yongxin, the Yang father and son naturally knew the news. Yang Degui sighed and scolded: "The bandits in Jinggang Mountain seem to be also famous, and the reputation they have broken through for many years has been beaten away by a rabble, and the mud can't support the wall." ”

"Dad, what do you say you should do in the future? Do we still have to continue to go to Yongxiangzhai to buy soap and shampoo to help Zhao Manzi make money? Yang Rui asked indignantly.

"If you don't buy soap and shampoo, what are you going to sell in those shops? Do you sell needlework and thread? Yang Degui reprimanded.

Yang Rui said angrily: "I am angry when I see the people and cars who go to Yongxiangzhai to buy soap and shampoo......

"You, you really can't hold your breath, you are still a man, don't you hear the saying that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, at present, we can't move him for the time being, but as long as we keep an eye on his every move, when he doesn't do things well, take the opportunity to make trouble, hit with one blow, and eat up his industry." Yang Degui said coldly.

"Daddy! I listen to you. Yang Rui said.

Looking at him, Yang Degui said: "In this world, you can't do big things without power, like dealing with this Zhao Manzi, if we have the power in our hands, we want to arrest him and put him in prison, it's not just a matter of words, in a few days, I plan to go to the Beijing Division to do some activities again, and see if I can find a county governor in the southern coastal area for you." ”

Yang Rui's bones were crisp when he heard this, and he said flatteringly: "Dad, you are worthy of being a prefect, and you can see far away." ”

"Of course, if my father hadn't offended the person in the court, he might have been the governor of a province by now......" Yang Degui said, smirking proudly.

In the Yamen of the Hundred Households of Jinyi Wei in Ji'an Mansion, Tang Zhengming of the Hundred Households was sitting on a chair listening to the report of Feng Sheng, the head of the banner.

This Tang Zhengming is a descendant of the founding hero Tang He, Chinese New Year's Eve, thirty-five years old, medium height, thin face, very shaved, rotten nose, deep sunken eyes, thin lips, covered with a large forehead and high cheekbones.

He knows how to use the ancestral fists and feet of the Tang family, relying on the descendants of the Tang family, relying on the Yu Yin of the Tang family, he was sent to JX Ji'an Mansion to be a brocade guard hundred.

He has been a Jinyi guard in Ji'an Mansion for three years, and he has no merit, but he is also not at fault, just a gangster.

Jinyiwei is a famous spy agency of the Ming Dynasty, formerly known as the "Gongwei Division" established by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, in charge of the emperor's honor guard and guards. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu (1382), the Jinyi Guard was replaced. In order to strengthen the centralized rule, Zhu Yuanzhang specially ordered him to take charge of the prison and gave him the right to inspect and arrest, and set up a department of suppression and pacification to engage in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities.

The town and the town division is divided into the south and the north town of the department, and the two towns have five guards under the department, and their commanders are called thousands of households, hundreds of households, general flags, and small flags, and ordinary sergeants are called captains and wrestlers. Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that after his death, the next generation of emperors would not be able to control the civil and military warriors, so he pretended to use a number of excuses to raise several prisons and slaughter all the civil and military heroes who assisted him in fighting the world.

Later, in order to calm the anger of the public and restore the influence, in the twentieth year of Hongwu (1387), Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the burning of Jinyiwei's torture equipment, and the prisoners were transferred to the Criminal Department for trial; At the same time, he ordered that all the inner and outer prisons should be tried by the three legal divisions, and the Jinyiwei was abolished. When the Ming Dynasty became the ancestor, the Jinyi Wei was restored again, and the Beizhen Fusi specially dealt with the edict.

In the Ming generation, Jinyiwei has always existed. They were directly subordinate to the emperor and could arrest anyone, including relatives of the emperor, and conduct closed interrogations. He also participated in the work of collecting military information and plotting against enemy generals, such as collecting a large amount of Japanese military information in the Wanli Korean War.

It was not until 1661 that the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty officially ended its 290-year history.

Jinyiwei was originally stationed in Beijing, and later there were Jinyiwei in various provinces and important strategic places. Jinyiwei is distributed all over the country, and there are thousands of households in each province, and the officials are called thousands of households, and the other places are generally hundreds of households. These are on the surface, and the secret agents are distributed all over the country, and the total number of Jinyi guards is about 100,000.

From the prince, Zaifu, to the peddler's pawn, as long as Jinyiwei wants to know, he can't escape.

"You said the number of people in the joint defense brigade is already 3,000? Really? Tang Zhengming stared at the general banner Feng Sheng and asked.

Feng Sheng is forty years old this year, and he is in charge of finding out the news in the Baihu Office. His face was round and fat, like a pumpkin, with a pair of provocative ears, and a pair of small dripping eyes under his short broom eyebrows.

Being stared at by Tang Zhengming's gaze, he shrunk his neck and said, "It's indeed true, I heard that the prefect Meng Liangchen and Bingbeidao approved it." ”

"Teng" stood up, Tang Zhengming's eyes flashed a gleam, he walked back and forth in the room, thinking about the consequences of this incident, after walking for a while, he suddenly stood up and asked Feng Sheng: "Why did the prefect Meng Liangchen and the military commander Chen Sheng approve a joint defense team of what kind of Lao Shizi was established by Zhao Guohua, and also agreed to the scale of his recruitment of 3,000 people?" ”

Hearing Lord Tang Zhengming of Baihu ask this, Feng Sheng said: "My lord, here's the thing, the daughter of Governor Meng went back to her grandfather's house to visit her relatives and was forcibly taken up the mountain by bandits in Jinggang Mountain......... He told the story in detail.

After listening to Feng Sheng's detailed explanation, Tang Zhengming touched his bottom and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that there are so many stories in this, so this matter is also a special case, since this matter was agreed by both Meng and Chen, then we Jinyiwei will ignore this matter for the time being, although we are not afraid of the two of them, but after all, everyone is in the same place to do things, and it is still necessary to have a good relationship." ”

"My lord, how do we go next? Will they continue to monitor or will they not interfere with each other? Feng Sheng asked.

Glancing at him, Tang Zhengming said, "What are we Jinyiwei doing?" It is His Majesty's eyes and ears and minions, although we say that we don't care about this matter for the time being, but we also have to let the two of us know that we are good, and we can't do good things without leaving a name, and that Zhao Guohua, I heard that he is a rich man, and soap and shampoo are what he sells......" Speaking of this, he paused.

Touching the short sideburns on his chin, he blinked his eyes: "We are known as Jinyiwei, naturally we also love cleanliness, clothes must be clean, hair must be clean, this soap and shampoo, everyone also needs it, wait for you to take a few brothers to the joint defense team to talk to Zhao Guohua, what about me, go to Meng Zhifu and Chen Bingbei for a cup of tea......" As he spoke, Tang Zhengming laughed.

"What your lord said is, I'll do it." Feng Sheng bowed and bowed, and walked out lightly.

After returning from Jinggangshan to suppress bandits, Zhao Guohua began to get busy again.

Now the number of people in the joint defense brigade is more than 3,000, and the daily affairs are much more than the previous more than 500 people, the last time he went to Jinggangshan to suppress bandits, in order to keep the secret of the Type 81 automatic rifle from leaking, he just brought 500 veteran members to Baolong Pass, and the rest of the team members were placed at the bottom of the mountain, led by Sun You and Cheng Chong to continue training.

After calculating his monthly income and expenses, Zhao Guohua sighed, selling soap and shampoo can earn 40,000 taels of silver a month, but the living expenses of the villagers in Mingfeng Village and the wages of the workers account for almost half of the income, and the salary and food of the 3,000 joint defense team go to 8,000.

The cost of gunpowder for training every month is 1,000, and 2,500 taels of silver will be allocated to Qinglongzhai in Jinggangshan every month in the future, which is only 7,800 taels per month.

"It does cost money to raise the army, and it is better to save money than to open source, it seems that we have to find another source of money......," Zhao Guohua sighed.

Because he couldn't find a suitable person for a while, Sun Fu became Zhao Guohua's personal staff officer, and followed Zhao Guohua every day. At this time, he listened to Zhao Guohua's words and said: "Captain, there is something I can't think of clearly, I want to ask the captain to tell me something." ”

"Well, you and my brother, you're welcome, say, what's the matter?" Zhao Guohua said with a smile.

Looking at him, Sun Fu said: "It's the matter of Qinglongzhai in Jinggang Mountain, it's not that we can't beat them, why don't we exterminate them in one go, but keep them, and give them silver every month?" ”

After listening to Sun Fu's words, Zhao Guohua stopped laughing, looked at him, and said, "Who do you say are those people who occupy the mountains and become bandits?" ”

After thinking about it, Sun Fu said: "Most of them are farmers who have no land to grow or can't afford to pay the imperial court taxes. ”

"Then why can't they pay the court taxes?" Zhao Guohua continued to ask.

"The taxes of the imperial court are too heavy, and the rich and powerful people who have a lot of land and land do not pay taxes, and the taxes of the imperial court are pressed on the heads of the people who have no money and power, and they can't afford to pay the taxes, so they have to go away." Sun Fu said sadly.

"That's right! Most of the people in Qinglong Village in Jinggang Mountain are also such people, in order to live, although they have done some bad things before, but they are not too bad, can they not kill or not, after all, it is the world that forced them on this road, we can't kill indiscriminately. Zhao Guohua said.
