Chapter 214: Heaven Falls Apart (20)

"Several nearby prefectures and counties are full of refugees fleeing." Liu Shu panted and said, "I have been the county commander of Jinmen for eight years, and it is the first time I have encountered such a tricky thing. ”

The influx of refugees has put a lot of pressure on him, the commander of Jinmenwei County. Liu Shu was cautious, for fear of making a half-point difference. He hoped that the tide of refugees would subside as soon as possible, and that the Liao army, which had suffered thousands of swords, would get out of Beizhili as soon as possible.

He Tengxiao poured a cup of tea for Liu Shu, although Liu Shu was a snobbish, he was still very serious and responsible in doing things. No matter what Liu Shu's purpose is, this point is precious.

Although Liu Shu was thirsty, he had no intention of drinking tea, Liu Shu waved his hand, thanked He Tengxiao, and said: "Whether or not you can stop these refugees depends on the general." ”

Liu Shu added: "A large part of these refugees are the Hao of Beizhili, and these Hao clans have private armies, and ordinary refugees are good to say, it is these refugees who are tricky, and these Hao clans are more or less in the DPRK and China, and they don't take me, a seven-grade sesame official, in their eyes at all." ”

It is indeed a headache for the wealthy clan to avoid the war, the wealthy clan is difficult to control, and these wealthy clans are armed in their hands, once they are not properly handled, it is likely to cause chaos. No wonder Liu Shu is in a hurry like this, this group of refugees is complex and quite tricky.

Thinking of the private armed forces in the hands of these wealthy families, He Tengxiao had a bad idea in his heart.

The purpose of the establishment of the private armed forces of the Hao clan is to protect their personal safety and property, the private armed people will never be stingy with their private armed forces, these private armed forces themselves are armed to protect themselves, the better equipped the private armed forces, the more secure their security will be.

It is the nature of the wealthy family, and the private armed forces are also a part of the comparison of the wealthy people, the better your private armed equipment and the more elite the personnel, the more you can prove your strength.

Wealthy people generally bring the strongest and best entourage in the clan when they go out, in addition to ensuring their own personal safety, there are also elements of showing off.

The Liao army broke through suddenly, but there were about 200,000 troops on Jingshicheng and Beizhili, and the Qin army of Peng Chaodong in western Liaoning was also returning to Jingshicheng. These wealthy people are so unconfident?

"Lord Liu is worried about the private armies of these wealthy clans?" He Tengxiao guessed Liu Ce's concern, the refugees who fled were not a big problem, but the wealthy families and their private armed forces mixed with the refugee tide were the most difficult and troublesome problems.

"Absolutely! Extremely! Liu Shu nodded hurriedly, as if he had found a confidant, he was happy, "If it is an ordinary refugee, the town army of the Jinmen guard is enough to deal with it, it is the private armed forces of these wealthy families, they are used to being powerful and blessed on weekdays, bullying men and women among the refugees, and the refugees dare not speak out, they all come to me, the county order of the Jinmen guard, to call the shots for them, I am a small sesame official, those wealthy people don't look at me, how can I give them the right to be the master." ”

Liu Shu is also very embarrassed, he is just an outsider, not a native of Beizhili, let alone a person from Beijing, he has been an official for so many years, he knows very well that the local wealthy family cannot be offended. It is precisely because of this that the local wealthy families dare to act recklessly.

"In the eyes of these Beizhili Hao clans, you are just a seven-grade sesame official, and in the eyes of ordinary refugees, you are the Qingtian Lord, and the Jinmen guards are under your rule, if the refugees don't look for you, the Qingtian Lord, to call the shots for them, who else can they find?" He Tengxiao teased.

"Oh, my general." Liu Shu cried with a sad face, "You can torture me." ”

Liu Shu is an ordinary small landlord, how can he have the consciousness of being a master of the sky? Liu Shu's biggest dream is just to be able to make a handful of money in office, and finally return to his hometown in fine clothes and be his rich man.

"Are there any prohibited armed forces of the Hao clan in Beizhili?" He Tengxiao asked Liu Shudao.

The best way to solve the hidden danger of the Hao clan in Beizhili is to disarm them. Disarming these high-flying and domineering wealthy clans is like removing the claws of the tiger wolf, and the tiger wolf without claws and the tiger wolf with sharp teeth and claws are two different level concepts.

He Tengxiao asked this sentence, indicating that He Tengxiao had the intention to meddle in this matter, and Liu Shuxi couldn't help it. Whether he can handle this matter well is related to his future, and Liu Shu can't wait to reveal everything he knows to He Tengxiao.

The Baoding Mansion next door has already caused a disturbance caused by the private armed forces of the wealthy clan, which has aroused public anger and caused a tragedy of civil uprising. This is a result of the improper handling of refugees, and now the imperial court is busy dealing with the Liao army, and has no time to deal with this matter, but the settlement of accounts after the autumn will definitely not be faced, and the relevant officials of Baoding City will not escape their responsibilities. At least their career is over, and they are thankful that they can save their lives.

Liu Shu didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the officials of Baoding Prefecture.

"Illegal armed forces are more or less present in every race." Liu Shu said, "It's just that this is in Beizhili, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, these wealthy clans don't dare to go too far, weapons like armor, strong bows, and crossbows are equipped in the private armed forces of the wealthy clans, but there are not many of them." ”

The imperial court was very strict about strong bows, crossbows, armor, and firearms, but the wealthy still took advantage of their personal networks to secretly arm their own private weapons, and a small number of these controlled weapons were equipped. Because of the small number, it is not easy to attract attention, and most of these wealthy families have people in the court to take care of them, so basically as long as they don't do anything out of line, there will be no trouble.

He Tengxiao nodded, since these wealthy families carry prohibited weapons, it will be easy to do. A hat with a private possession of prohibited weapons and a deliberate rebellion is enough for these wealthy families to drink a pot. The officials of Beizhili knew about this, but they didn't dare to do anything about these arrogant wealthy clans, because they were mixed in Beizhili, and the strong dragon did not provoke the head snake, so they tolerated these wealthy clans for a few points.

And He Tengxiao is the guest army of King Qinwang of Liaodong, and he is not afraid to wear shoes barefoot. The wealthy family who came to Beizhili as a scoundrel also had nothing to do with him. After the Liao army returned to Liaodong, He Tengxiao also followed back to Liaodong, the He clan is one of the only remaining clans in Liaodong, and it is impossible for the Hao clan in Beizhili to go to Liaodong to find He Tengxiao to settle accounts without opening their eyes.

In addition, armor, strong bows, and crossbows are all good things that have money and nowhere to buy. Mainly because it takes time and money to make a good armor and strong bow. A good pair of armor can take months for a skilled armor maker, and a good bow can take at least three years to make a bow from the material to the final one.

These things are not taken for nothing, and in the hands of the private armed forces of the wealthy clan, the role of these things is only self-defense at best. Taking such a good thing to protect oneself is really a tyrannical thing and a bad thing. (To be continued.) )
