Chapter 523: Crossroads, Three Regardless, Horse Thief

The 40,000 acres of land owned by the Lu Wangfu were divided into a huge farm, which was managed according to the farm model of Lingshanwei. This kind of treatment mode is still relatively acceptable to those tenants. Anyway, they were passive and did not actively participate in Anton Wei's rebellion.

All other military households will be allocated land according to the standard of three acres of land per person. According to Liu Hang's statistics, excluding those tenants, there are always 110,000 military households with a height of more than three feet, and a total of more than 300,000 mu of land is needed for distribution. If someone is not willing to stay in Andong Wei, they can apply to relocate to Laizhou. Each family that relocates to Laizhou Mansion can receive a settling-in allowance of three taels of silver.

Those officers who have a lot of land must divide all the fields under their names within the time limit, and the fields in each person's name cannot exceed 50 acres, otherwise they will be confiscated. Those officers in the west of the city, under Zhang Zhun's deterrence, finally chose the path of compromise. To kill the Tartars and be suppressed are all unacceptable to them. I had no choice but to choose the only way out.

In fact, Zhang Zhun's Juntian Order still gave these people a way out, and there was no need for them to resist to the end. Ordinary officers are all wives and concubines, and as long as the fields under their names are distributed to their wives, children, and even relatives, they will definitely not exceed the standard of 50 acres. In general, the meat still rots in its own pot. If it is suppressed by the Tiger Army because of this, it will not be worth it.

After these people succumbed, Liu Hang's work no longer had any resistance. Liu Hang's work was completed, and the Tiger Benjun was in Andongwei, which can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold. Most of the military households, after getting their own land, still care very much. After all, from now on, except for the tax of forty catties per acre of land, all other production belongs to oneself. Three acres of land, not too much, no less, as long as you work hard to support yourself and your family, it shouldn't be a problem.

Antonwei's land reform caused a shock in the surrounding area. Rizhao in the northeast, Juzhou in the north, and Ganyu in the southwest all have different degrees of undercurrents. The most disturbing is, of course, Yanzhou Mansion in the west. It is said that Li Maofang, the governor of Yanzhou Prefecture, was anxious and angry when he learned that Zhang Zhun controlled Anton Wei, and immediately wrote several pieces of the song and reported it to the imperial court, demanding that Zhang Zhun be dealt with seriously.

Huai'an Province to the south is also tense. If Anton Wei's chaos spreads to Huai'an Mansion, it will be troublesome. The political structure of Huai'an Mansion is relatively special, and the Yamen of the Governor of Caoyun and the Yamen of the Governor of Fengyang are all here, so naturally it is not the turn of the prefect of Huai'an Mansion. The head of the household department and the governor of Caoyun and the governor of Fengyang is Yang Yipeng. When Yang Yipeng received the news that Zhang Zhun appeared in Andongwei, he could only sigh helplessly, and then asked his staff to draft a chapter and ask the court to deal with it.

Yang Yipeng and Zhang Shenyan have a very good relationship, and after Zhang Shenyan served as the prefect of Dengzhou Prefecture, the two have been exchanging letters. For the Huangxian War, Yang Yipeng knows a lot of insiders. He knew very well that with the strength of the army under his command, it was impossible to fight Zhang Zhun hard. Zhang Zhun actually used inferior troops to clean up so many tartars, and also surrounded the two slave chiefs and Kong Youde in Dengzhou City, such an ability, Yang Yipeng thought that he couldn't do it.

However, Yang Yipeng was unwilling to allow Zhang Zhun to expand his territory so unscrupulously and fan the flames everywhere. For "Juntian Order", Yang Yipeng is very resistant. Because the fields under his name are thousands of acres. If it is divided equally by Zhang Zhun, then it will be okay? Since he couldn't beat it, and he couldn't sit idly by, he had to ask the court to come forward. Let's see what instructions the court has.

In the Qingzhou Mansion in the north, the reaction was even more strange. Well, it's strange that there is no reaction at all in Qingzhou Mansion, as if you don't know what is happening in the south at all. The newly appointed governor of Qingzhou Prefecture naturally learned about Zhang Zhun's power from Song Degang. At this time, he will not come out and be bored with himself. Anyway, Anton Wei belongs to the Wei Institute and belongs to the jurisdiction of the Shandong Metropolitan Division, and there is no need for Qingzhou Mansion to take care of it.

As for the Shandong Dusi...... I'm sorry, but the commander of the Shandong Metropolitan has already gone to Beijing, and it is said that he has gone to recognize his ancestors and returned to his ancestors. The relationship between Tian Daren and Guozhang Tian Hongyu is getting better and better. Since the commander is not there, there is naturally no one to deal with Antonwei's affairs. Everything, let's wait until Lord Tian comes back.

In addition, there is intelligence that the horse thieves in Wulian Mountain also have new moves. For the horse thieves in Wulian Mountain, Chen Zhan and the three of them were a little nervous. They don't know if the Tiger Army can deal with these horse thieves. After all, at their level, it is impossible to have a very good understanding of the Huangxian War.

Zhang Zhun suddenly said quietly: "Tomorrow, you will go to the crossroads with me." ”

Chen Zhan and the others were taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Lord Dudu, by all means, by no means." I can't go to that place on the crossroads, I can't go there! ”

Zhang Zhun said curiously: "Why can't you go?" ”

Chen Zhan hurriedly said: "My lord, that crossroads town is a den of horse thieves!" ”

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "Horse thief's den? ”

Chen Zhan hurriedly explained.

It turned out that most of the horse thieves in Wulian Mountain were hiding near Crossroads Town. Originally, Crossroads was inhabited, but after the horse thieves took control of it, the original residents either became horse thieves, were killed by horse thieves, or fled Crossroad Town. Over time, Crossroads became a den of horse thieves. Rumor has it that there are at least two or three thousand horse thieves in Crossroads Town.

If the officers and soldiers came on a large scale to encircle and suppress them, the horse thieves would leave the crossroads and hide somewhere else, and when the officers and soldiers had left, they would return. The geographical location of Crossroads Town is not good, and it is impossible for a large number of officers and soldiers to be stationed there, and after staying for a while, they must leave. As soon as the officers and soldiers left, it became a bandit den again. If the number of officers and soldiers is small, the horse thieves dare to ambush them halfway, causing a large number of casualties to the officers and men, forcing the officers and men to retreat.

Crossroads, crossroads, meaning that they extend in all directions, and you can go in any direction. The horse thieves hiding here can go north to Juzhou, west to Linyi and Feixian, south to Ganyu and Haizhou, east to Rizhao and Anton Wei. It is located at the junction of Qingzhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, and is also on the verge of Huai'an Mansion in Nanzhili.

Because horse thieves at the crossroads are very rampant, people from the outside world gradually talk about the crossroads. An Dongwei's people did not dare to reclaim the land in the direction of Wulian Mountain, because they were afraid of encountering these murderous horse thieves. In fact, if there is no threat of horse thieves, there is no problem for Anton Wei to reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland.

After listening to Chen Zhan's introduction, Zhang Zhun frowned and said slowly: "The crossroads are actually a good place, if it is occupied by horse thieves for a long time, it will be a pity." We're going to find a way to get back in control of the crossroads. ”

Zhao Sanming said a little strangely: "Do you know a lot about the cross road?" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded casually and said casually: "Well, I do know a little about the crossroads. Crossroads Town has a vast area and a large amount of arable land, which can be used as a supplement to Antonwei. The local mountainous area is also very suitable for the development of a green economy. For example, the mountainous terrain around Crossroads is a great place to grow crops such as peanuts. ”

Coming from later generations, he does have an impression of this crossroads town. Because, this is Junan County, the old revolutionary base area. Cross Road Town is the future Junan County Government Station. When receiving patriotic education, Zhang Zhun once spent some time in Junan County. During the Eight-Year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Junan was known as "Shandong Little Yan'an", and the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries such as Luo Ronghuan, Chen Yi, and Gu Mu worked and fought here. In August 1945, the first provincial government under the leadership of China, the Shandong Provincial Government, was established in Dadian Town, Junan County, and the first Youth League branch of Shandong Province was also established here.

For some information about Junan County, Zhang Zhun still remembers it vividly. Junan County is very rich in natural resources, and the industrialized operation of agriculture has begun to take shape. There are more than 30 kinds of minerals that can be mined, including gold, silver, iron, copper, barite, fluorite, alum stone, graphite, purple sandstone, dolomite, granite, quartz stone, etc., and the grade is high, the reserves are large, and it is easy to mine. Among them, the reserves of barite and fluorite are the crown of Shandong Province, graphite is rare in the province, and the reserves of high-quality purple sandstone are more than 100 million cubic meters, and the reserves of granite are more than 1 billion cubic meters.

Junan County belongs to the warm temperate monsoon zone semi-humid continental climate, suitable for the growth of crops, is an important grain and oil production base in the country, in the 21st century, the establishment of peanuts, yellow tobacco, silkworms, wicker, vegetables, apples, chestnuts, tea, pigs, cattle, sheep and rabbits and other ten major characteristic industries, of which peanut yield, total output ranked first and second in the country respectively, more than 300 agricultural industrial and commercial enterprises have been set up, and the process of agricultural industrialization has been accelerating. It has been rated as a large county of commercial grain in China, one of the top 100 counties in oilseed, fruit and meat production, a peanut production and export base county and a key county in the province's apple, silkworm and tea production, and is China's "hometown of willow weaving", "hometown of peanuts", "hometown of chestnut", "hometown of tea" and "hometown of stone carving art".

If I am not mistaken, Junan County in later generations should have more than one million acres of cultivated land, as well as a large amount of graphite that may be used to make Mini bullets, as well as high-quality quartz sand needed to make glass. If Crossroads Town can be included in the jurisdiction of Anton Wei and vigorously reclaim the wasteland, the cultivated land in Crossroads Town alone can meet Anton Wei's needs.

At the same time, Zhang Zhun also attaches great importance to the geographical location of Crossroads Town. As I just said, this is the junction of two provinces and three provinces, and the traffic is very superior. The garrison in Crossroads Town, whether it is north, south, or west, is very advantageous. In order for the Tiger Ben Army to exert pressure on the Yanzhou Mansion, it is very necessary to station a battalion of troops in Crossroads Town.

Liu Xing frowned and said, "Lord Dudu, the horse thieves on the other side of the crossroads are really rampant. In the past, the government sent an army of 5,000 troops, but it was impossible to exterminate all the horse thieves. Your current army is less than a thousand, so I'm afraid of ......."

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "It's okay, I'm a professional in dealing with horse thieves, and it doesn't matter if I have fewer troops." Which of you will go to the crossroads with me? I need a guide. ”

Liu Xing raised his hand and said, "I'll go!" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said briefly: "Okay!" ”

He immediately made arrangements, and Yin Fengyi with a contingent of troops continued to defend Andong City to prevent the attack of horse thieves, and at the same time continue to ensure the deepening of land reform. Zhang Zhun himself, with a team of troops and a sniper team around him, went to the crossroads town together.

For this operation, Zhang Zhun had no intention of concealing it at all. All preparations are open and not confidential. Soon, the entire Andong City knew that Zhang Zhun was about to march to the crossroads. For a time, Anton Wei's military households had everything to say. Most of the military households obviously did not have much hope for Zhang Zhun's operation. Even, some people think that Zhang Zhun took three or four hundred people to the crossroads town, which was simply to send him to death. The horse thief of Wulian Mountain will definitely not let Zhang Zhun come back safely.

On the morning of the tenth day of the first month of September, Zhang Zhun took the tiger army of more than 300 people and officially marched to the crossroads town. In the afternoon of the same day, they entered the Wulian Mountain area. In terms of topography, Wulian Mountain is high and densely forested, and the terrain is dangerous. The road is so narrow that even unicycles are difficult to navigate. Only horses can walk slowly. On both sides of the road, there are high hills and dense forests. If the horse thieves were hiding in it, they wouldn't be able to find it on the way.

For the sake of safety, Dugu Hunt and others are quietly exploring the way in front. With their spearheads, they walked on the peaks on both sides, searching for horse thieves who might be lurking. However, strangely, along the way, Zhang Zhun did not encounter any horse thieves. Until dusk, when the sun went down, the mountains became gloomy, and there was still no sign of horse thieves.

Liu Xing felt that something was wrong, and reminded Zhang Zhun uneasily: "Lord Dudu, the horse thief may be trying to lure us deeper." ”

Zhang Zhun said disappreciatively: "It's okay." ”

Liu Xing said with some worry: "Lord Dudu, in case we are surrounded by horse thieves at the crossroads......

Zhang Zhun said casually: "Then let them surround them." ”

Liu Xing rolled his eyes and had nothing to say.

From Antonwei to the crossroads, most of them are rugged mountain roads. One moment uphill, one moment downhill, twisting and turning, going around and around. In one day, it will definitely not be possible. At night, the Tiger Ben army camped in the mountains. The campsite selected by Zhang Zhun is somewhat special, surrounded by slopes, without too many trees, and the view is relatively open. The warriors cut down the few trees and set up camp, and there were no more obstacles around.

Liu Xing felt that the uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. Such a camp is very vulnerable to attacks and encirclement by horse thieves. Zhang Zhun was only surrounded by three hundred and four people, but the horse thieves could dispatch thousands of people. Once surrounded by horse thieves, they have no danger to defend, and the situation must be very bad. He hurriedly reminded Zhang Zhun: "Lord Governor, we are camping here, and we may be attacked by horse thieves." ”

Zhang Zhun still said disapprerovingly: "It's okay." ”

Liu Xing said anxiously: "Lord Dudu, this is not a joke. ”

He said that a few years ago, officers and soldiers had surrounded and suppressed the crossroads, and there was a contingent of officers and soldiers, also starting from Antonwei, and also camping in the mountains. As a result, they were attacked by horse thieves that night. Hundreds of officers and soldiers were killed by horse thieves, and even the thousands of generals who led the team were killed.

Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "I am the Metropolitan Governor, and I am much more powerful than President Qian." ”

Liu Xing felt anxious and worried, but he didn't know what to say. He felt that Zhang Zhun's military knowledge was simply not as high as his. Camping in such a place is a dead end! I really don't know how Zhang Zhun got to where he is today.

Liu Mang, who was next to him, really couldn't look past it, and interjected: "Brother, don't worry, I dare to guarantee that the horse thieves will die as many as they come." ”

He is also a self-acquaintance, his own surname is Liu, and Liu Xing is also surnamed Liu, so he is simply called brother. Liu Mang didn't know what tricks Zhang Zhun had to arrange a campsite here, but he knew very well that Zhang Zhun must have his own reasons. If the horse thief comes, he will have to walk around without food. Seeing Liu Xing in such a hurry, he couldn't help but interject.

It's a pity that Liu Xing is really a little nervous, and Liu Mang's words can't ease his uneasiness. He said anxiously: "You don't know how powerful horse thieves are. At the beginning, the officers and soldiers dragged tiger squatting cannons over. As a result, even the tiger squat cannon did not block the attack of the horse thief. ”

Liu Mang shook his head and said: "The tiger squat cannon with bird feathers, what is the use." Brother, you go to sleep obediently, and don't let Lord Du see our jokes. ”

Liu Xing said anxiously: "You ...... The horse thief is coming, and we're all going to be finished! ”

He was blushing and had a thick neck, and he was really anxious.

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Come on, Liu Mang, do your job, your brother is also kind." ”

Liu Mang said: "Brother, no, Lord Du Du is laughing at you!" ”

With that, he walked away with the tiger on his back.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a dull gunshot rang out.

Zhang Zhun and Liu Mang both subconsciously looked to the west. Gunshots came from over there. If I'm not mistaken, the sentry post should have been shot. Since the lurking post has fired, it must have been a horse thief.

Liu Xing's face changed suddenly. said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, no, he said that the horse thief would come, and the horse thief really came. It's over, it's over, in such a place where there is no danger to defend, once they are surrounded and attacked by horse thieves, they will all be finished.

"My lord, the horse thief is coming, due west."

Sure enough, a moment later, the Minzi battalion was coming to report on the bones.

"Good time!"

"Liu Xing, let's go to the front and have a look!"

Zhang Zhun said casually, and then followed Shangguan to the front.

Liu Xing's heart was up and down, and he hurriedly followed behind Zhang Zhun and also walked to the front.
