"Zheng Er Pin ......"

After listening to Wang's article, Zhang Junwu, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but gasp for his generosity. Because, as the secretary of the military department, he is also the second grade in terms of grade.

If Wei Zheng also becomes a member of the second grade, then in terms of grade, Wei Zheng is already on par with them. The only difference is that Wei Zheng is a magistrate, and he is a Beijing official, so in terms of power, he may surpass Wei Zheng.

However, the shock was shocked, and Zhang Junwu still affirmed very cheerfully: "It's just the second grade." I don't believe that a powerful general with tens of thousands of elites in his hands can still be free from the emperor's suspicion if he has been leading troops outside......

Just when all the forces of the imperial court began a new conspiracy against Wei Zheng, the redemption plan of abandoned land in Datong Mansion was already in full swing.

The original Wang Yuanwai was not wrong, and under the temptation of several times the benefits, the official gentry and landlords, who had been deeply disappointed in God, almost did not report the slightest hope for the current drought. Without the slightest hesitation, he went directly to the General Military Mansion with the title deed to exchange for silver.

As more and more land deeds of Datong Mansion fell into the General Military Mansion, a large amount of silver, like flowing water, quickly flowed out of the General Military Mansion.

Seeing that the 200,000 taels of silver he had drawn from the Tiger and Leopard Army were about to be exhausted, Zhou Shuyuan, as the chief butler, became anxious.

I went directly to Wei Zheng and wanted to ask why the so-called 'wool from the sheep' plan had not yet been launched.

After learning of Zhou Shuyuan's intention, Wei Zheng was not in the same hurry as he imagined. Instead, he unhurriedly took out a list and handed it to Zhou Shuyuan, who was puzzled.

Looking at the list of dozens of names and addresses written in his hand, Zhou Shuyuan directly showed a puzzled expression on his face.

With a puzzled face, he asked, "My lord." You're ......"

Wei Zheng did not hesitate. directly explained: "These are some of the official gentry and landlords in the Datong Mansion. And that's not all. These people have not yet made a deal with our General Military Office, do not give us the General Military Office face, and hold those wastelands that have no effect in their hands like treasures. ”

"In addition, I also learned that almost half of these people have families who are here to stop us from tuntian. deliberately held the field in his hands and did not sell it to our general military office......"

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng's body directly exuded a trace of murderous aura.

Seeing this, Zhou Shuyuan seemed to understand something. Facing Wei Zheng, he asked thoughtfully, "My lord, are you planning to take these people and get silver and wasteland from them......"

"However, these people just didn't sell us land, and they didn't break the law. How can we get the silver and land from them, is the general going to send troops to rob them directly......"

Wei Zheng shook his head and denied: "Of course I won't rob it." We are officers and soldiers, not bandits. Now I finally have a territory of my own. And began to develop. I don't want to be noticed by the imperial court because of these trivial matters, and force the imperial court to transfer our Tiger and Leopard Army out of the hard-earned Datong Mansion. ”

The puzzled expression on Zhou Shuyuan's face became even thicker. With a puzzled face, he continued to ask, "What does the general mean?" ”

After a strange smile flashed on Wei Zheng's face, he replied to Zhou Shuyuan: "Military, have you forgotten the predecessor of our Haw Par Army, that is, the old business?" ”

"The current Datong Mansion is full of rebels eyeing each other. It is very normal for one or two rebels to enter our Datong Mansion and then burn and loot in our Datong Mansion. Since these gentry and landlords do not support us, then our general military office has no reason to protect them, and since they do not protect them, it is normal for them to be plundered by the rebels. No matter who it is, it can't be said that our Datong General Military Mansion is not doing ......."

At this time, if Zhou Shuyuan still didn't understand Wei Zheng's thoughts, then he would be in vain as a military advisor.

As a result, a trace of the same weird smile also appeared on Zhou Shuyuan's face. He asked Wei Zheng, "My lord, I don't know who you plan to let do this..."

"Wang Feng... Wang Feng's brain is flexible, decisive, and does not drag the mud and water... Let him do this, there will definitely be no tail left....you immediately take this list to Wang Feng and ask him to transfer a battalion from the Haw Par Army to carry out the mission. ”

"As for the goal of the mission, let's first pick out the five companies with the worst reputation among the common people from this list. Sue sù Wang Feng, when acting, you must not drag mud and water, kill those who should kill, burn the house if you should burn the house, and you must not be polite. As for the grain and silver that were snatched, they had to be brought back with nothing left, and if there were not enough men, pack horses were drawn from the baggage camp to help them transport them..."

Zhoujiabao, less than 30 miles west of Datong City, covers an area of more than 10 acres, is made of large stone masonry, up to two zhang of earth fort, is very eye-catching built in the village, and other thatched houses in the village form a very sharp contrast.

In this earthen fort, there is the largest landlord within a radius of dozens of miles, the Zhou family......

Because the ancestors of the Zhou family used to be officials, and the current head of the Zhou family is a very greedy and ruthless person. Taking advantage of the drought for three consecutive years, tens of thousands of acres of land with Zhoujiabao as the center and a radius of dozens of miles were all mastered by the head of the Zhou family, and became the veritable emperor of Zhoujiabao.

In order to avoid the depreciation of the large amount of grain hoarded in his hands after the start of the Tuntian plan of the General Military Mansion, after receiving the notice issued by the prefect's yamen, the head of the Zhou family made the decision to refuse to trade with the General Military Palace.

Not only that, but after the so-called court officials moved out and promised a lot of benefits to the Zhou family. The Zhou family's idea and decision to refuse to make a deal with the General Military Mansion became even more resolute.

As the night began to envelop this Datong Mansion, the head of the Zhou family, who had had dinner, was under the service of the third aunt, fantasizing that he would be valued by the court officials and let the Zhou family flourish in his own hands.

A series of explosions like thunder suddenly reached the ears of the head of the Zhou family.

Before he could react from his astonishment, the closed door of the room was pushed open from the outside.

Seeing that the head of the family was still naked on the bed, the official who rushed into the room didn't care about any dignity, and rushed directly to the head of the house and shouted: "Master, something happened....bandits, bandits have entered our Zhou family...."

The head of the Zhou family sat up from the bed abruptly, and asked with a shocked face: "Bandits, how is it possible....this is Datong Mansion, and the General Military Mansion has just eliminated 10,000 elite rebels, how can there be bandits..."

Perhaps to confirm his suspicions, as soon as he finished speaking, a deafening shout of killing reached his ears under the cover of night....

"Kill....kill into the Zhou family, rob money, grab food, rob women......"

"Ah....really a bandit...."Hearing this, an exclamation quickly came out of the mouth of the head of the family. Not only that, but the facial expression, which was still full of suspicion just now, turned pale in an instant, just like the changeable weather.

looked at the equally frightened official in front of him, and listened to the shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer to him outside the door.

After only a moment of stunned thought, the head of the family reacted from his panic. Then, he shouted loudly to the official family in front of him: "What about the family and the guard, let them immediately kill the bandits out of Zhoujiabao and protect Zhoujiabao..."

The official shook his head and replied: "Master, it's too late....The rebels have already entered Zhoujiabao, and the hundreds of Ding Nursing Homes we have trained are not opponents at all....Let the family and the Guardian Courtyard immediately escort the master out of Zhoujiabao, and save your life."

"How could it be so fast, but there is a two-zhang high city wall around Zhoujiabao, how did the bandits get in..."After a shocked expression on his face again, the head of the family asked loudly.

The official shook his head and replied: "Master, the old slave doesn't know....After hearing a few explosions, I saw that the two-zhang high city wall was blown open a few gaps, and hundreds of bandits, like wolves, poured into our Zhoujiabao along the gaps, and killed people when they saw them...."

"Oh no, we must have been too careless during this time and let the bandits take advantage of the loophole....then what are you still doing in a daze. Immediately gather the family, bring the soft, and protect me from the back door....hurry...."At this time, the head of the house also began to be anxious. After showing a trace of remorse on his face, in order to save his life, he roared loudly directly at the housekeeper.

It turned out that before the general army of Datong Mansion, in order to prevent the rebels from burning and looting after entering Datong Mansion, as long as there were powerful officials and gentry landlords in the entire Datong Mansion, they all built their homes into fortresses and trained their families to protect their homes. Defend yourself against bandits who may appear at any time.

However, after the good news of the annihilation of tens of thousands of rebels quickly spread in Datong Province as the Datong General Military Office won a great victory in Datong Province, most of the officials and gentry and landlords believed that as long as the Tiger and Par Army was in Datong Mansion for one day, the rebels would not dare to attack Datong Mansion at will.

Since Datong Mansion is safe, then you will be safe.

As a result, in order to save money, these gentry and landlords began to relax their training in the nursing homes of their families. And the Zhou family in front of him is one of them.

As the commander of the secret operation of 'wool out of the sheep', Wang Feng saw this loophole and decisively decided to launch a night sneak attack on the target of the operation, that is, the Zhou family in front of him.

Taking advantage of the lax defense of the Zhou family, under the cover of night, the explosives package was secretly buried at the foot of the city wall of Zhoujiabao.

Detonate explosives and blow up the walls. Then, without any preparation from the Zhou family, they rushed into the Zhou family.

Wang Feng is confident that with the three hundred battle-hardened soldiers in his hands, as long as he can rush into Zhoujiabao, there will be no suspense in the next battle.

So, the Zhou family, which was prominent for a few dozen miles, appeared in front of him. (To be continued......)
