Chapter 773: Discernment, Provocation, and Retention

readx;

Wang Tong asked this sentence, and the people below quieted down, although these wealthy businessmen lived in Guihua City, they also had a lot of dealings with the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and on such occasions, although they were trembling, what the officials and soldiers would ask, what they should answer, there were certain rules, and there would be no mistakes according to the answers.

However, the young handsome's behavior was unpredictable, and when he suddenly asked this, these Han Minsheng leaders who were kneeling were a little confused, and they didn't dare to answer.

Niu Gengang hesitated for a while, he thought he was the number one person in the city, and now that the naturalized city has changed hands, the monks are both dead, and if you want to maintain your position, you must tie up the current nobleman, Wang Tong's question, he thought he understood, and hurriedly replied:

"Please rest assured, the people are all aware of the general situation, and now that the city is at peace, they are willing to obey the arrangement of the marshal."

Wang Tong smiled and nodded, but turned his head to ask the fat black man who said cruel things just now:

"Boss Hu has been in the leather business here for almost fifteen years, and he is also a local native, what do you think about this matter?"

The people kneeling below were all awe-inspiring, originally thought that Wang Tong was just a newcomer, but he didn't expect him to be so familiar with these leading figures, there was no announcement just now, Wang Tong directly shouted out the person's name and industry.

The man known as Boss Hu seemed to have suffered a lot from the catastrophe of the Tartars looting the Han people, he didn't notice Wang Tong calling out his name at all, and he didn't think about what it meant, but instead glared angrily at Niu Gengang in front of him, Wang Tong asked, he didn't hear it at all, or someone behind gave him a look, and then he reacted.

After a little tricking, this Boss Hu gritted his teeth and said:

"How can the people in the city endure, many people came here because of the plague on the Shanxi side, came here, knew that it was not the local hometown, encountered something, they all wanted to endure it, endure it, maybe the other party can be merciful, who thought of killing or killing, robbing or robbing, yesterday afternoon to evening, who has no relatives to suffer, who does not want to fight with their lives, the big handsome killed so many Tartars, the small ones are happy, but there are so many Tartars in the city, there are many bastard beasts who took advantage of the fire yesterday and had blood on their hands, Please make the decisions for the grass people."

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily to the ground, and before Niu Gen in front of him could speak, someone behind him had already spoken:

"In addition to drinking and wandering, the Tartars don't know anything about work and labor, we Han people bear hardships and stand hard work, thrifty and thrifty, this city is built by the Tartars, but our Han people live a better life than the Tartars, the Tartars hate the Han people for this, yesterday followed the wind and waves, scourge the Han people, but now they are treated as if they are nothing, to let go like this, how can the spirits of so many villagers in the sky be at ease yesterday"

"Ask the boss to call the shots"

"Please ask the marshal to seek justice for the Han people in the city"

Niu Gengang also felt that something was wrong, and seeing that the smile on Wang Tong's face was getting bigger and bigger, he also hissed and said:

"Da Shuai, the small outer house was also ruined by a few Tartars yesterday, and two shops at home were also robbed, Da Shuai, you want to make the decisions for the villains, and you have to make the decisions for the Han people in the city."

The atmosphere in the military tent suddenly became intense, Wang Tong put away the smile on his face, stood up and said:

"Everyone, you and others are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, but they have been bullied and ravaged by the Tartars, how can people bear it, the miserable experience of yesterday and last night is even more unbearable to hear, such a thing, no matter who comes, I have to give you justice."

The following were all kowtowing and thanking, and in a mess, Wang Tong showed a look of embarrassment, and said:

"Although we want to uphold justice, the strength of the army is limited, and we have to assist in defense and clearance, which is inevitably insufficient in presiding over justice."

There was just a look of disappointment on everyone's faces, and Wang Tong opened his mouth again:

"Justice must be done, the people have suffered personally, naturally let them get it back in person, tomorrow, please take the lead, and lead the Han men in the city to seek justice from those beasts"

The soldiers did not participate, let each family lead the people to do it, the wealthy businessmen below are all smart people, they are naturally unwilling to hear this, and they are disappointed in their hearts, but their faces will not be reflected, only the boss Hu kowtowed there and agreed, gritting his teeth to summon people to do.

The looks of the people below, Wang Tong was in his eyes, and he said with a smile:

"I just heard from you, the Tartars in the city are brutal and inhumane, and often oppress and loot the property of the Han people, this time to seek justice, the property that was looted in the past will naturally be taken back and returned to the original owner, you should not worry, if the Tartars still dare to resist, the officers and soldiers will naturally stretch out their hands to take care of it."

After saying this, the military tent was quiet for a while, and the people kneeling below exchanged glances with each other, regardless of what dignity and humility were respectful, and they didn't dare to confirm the meaning of what Wang Tong said, and someone had the courage to look at Wang Tong's expression, which could be regarded as confirmation.

Everyone's eyes suddenly became enthusiastic, and they begged for the property back, which clearly allowed everyone to let go and rob it, and the looted property belonged to themselves, and the officers and soldiers would help in case of danger.

This is a very good thing, I just felt that there was a risk and was reluctant to go, but now everyone wants to make a fortune, the more people are recruited, the more things will be robbed, and the greater the wealth, and some smart people think that if they recruit enough people and uphold justice this time, the people who are recruited will definitely think of themselves, and the officers and soldiers will definitely leave in the future, and the more people in their hands, the greater the bargain they will get in the future.

They have also dealt with the officials of the Ming Dynasty, these people dare not take responsibility, they are not willing to let the people have any power, and they are not even willing to let the people make any cheap, I didn't expect this young marshal to be so open-minded and willing to make everyone rich.

After the initial joy, some people reacted that the looting of property in the city is a business of flat wealth, and it does not require any capital, how can it be its own wealth, which is too unknowing.

At this time, Niu Gen just showed why he was doing such a big business, kowtowed a few times on the ground, and said loudly:

"Dashuai, grass people and other property to be returned tomorrow, are willing to sacrifice 30% to the labor army to repay Dashuai's saving kindness"

Listening to this, everyone reacted, hating that they were late, you also kowtow, I also kowtow, this person said thirty percent, that person said forty percent, and in the end, someone had already shouted sixty percent.

It doesn't cost them anything to rob the things left and right, and some people think that if they can marry this adult, there will naturally be endless benefits, even if they are all given to Wang Tong.

Fortunately, at this time, Wang Tong spoke, and he said with a smile:

"The Tartars looted the property of you and the people below, it has nothing to do with the commander, if the commander takes it, wouldn't it be ashamed, you can do it, if there is any difficulty, the army of the Ming Dynasty is our Han people."

Although everyone didn't know whether what Wang Tong said was true or false, they had to kowtow and praise again, and Wang Tong opened his mouth again:

"Yili Li, Uliangha, and some small tribes, Pingsuri was also oppressed by the Tatars of the Ministry of Rats in this naturalized city, this cannot be generalized, if you usually help the abuse, you must be severely punished, if you are also oppressed, then you must be treated with the Han people, everyone must remember"

Niu Gengang and the others had to agree, seeing that the time was not early, it was calculated that Wang Tong had not rested much since he entered the city, and had been dealing with official business, and everyone had to leave.

"Niu Gengang, Pan Shengcai, Tian Daqian....... a few people stay, Ben Shuai has something to say."

Wang Tong named a few people, and the others were sent out of the tent, and the people who were left behind were all puzzled, not knowing why they stayed.

Waiting for those people to leave, Wang Tong sat back in his chair and said to Niu Gengang with a smile:

"Boss Niu said that he suffered a loss, I heard that there are thousands of guards on horseback and with knives in Boss Niu's hands, and the Tartar stragglers are so blind, they dare to touch Boss Niu's industry?"

Originally, everyone was standing there, but as soon as Niu Gen heard Wang Tong ask, he inexplicably felt that his knees were weak, and he couldn't stand anymore, so he knelt directly on the ground, stunned for a while, and then explained:

"Big handsome, small people raise these people, but ...... It's just to guard against horse thieves on the steppe, and it is not under the command of the Tartars, please be clear, please be clear, please be clear......"

"Seventy percent of your guards are Han people, and thirty percent are men from various departments, but there are no people from the Answering Department, and seventy percent of these people are in pastures and farms outside the city, aren't they?"

Niu Gengang didn't expect Wang Tong to know so much, the Tartars rarely have any false positions, if they want to become a thousand-commander, then there must be more than a thousand men who can go out to fight, Niu Gengang's parents and ancestors and the first generation of Altan Khan went out to fight, and naturally they are also armed in their hands.

And in the Tatars, such armed forces are often family heirlooms, and the same is naturally true in Niu Gengang's hands, he was squeezed out by the high-level of the Ministry of Tartar because of his Han identity, but after all, his family has been working for a long time, and the business is also big, and in peacetime, the Tatars can't move him.

Niu Gengang knew his situation, and he also had a lot of precautions, his subordinates were all Han people in the north, as well as those tribal men who were not from the Altan tribe, such a force was not easy to be infiltrated by the Tatars, and it could be kept in his own hands.

In fact, the turmoil in the naturalized city, Niu Gengang's industry was not greatly affected, and the power in his hands naturally played a great role, but Wang Tong entered the city, Niu Gengang also knew that his power would be a taboo, but he was reluctant to hand it over, so he was lucky to think that Wang Tong would not know, but he didn't expect Wang Tong to be so clear.

Niu Gengang was terrified on the ground, not knowing what to do with himself.
