In one day, the tens of thousands of rebels stationed around Huairen were swallowed up by the commander, and there was not even a bit of scum left.

Tens of thousands of rebels, after careful selection, of which 25,000 soldiers have become real soldiers under the commander's command, equipped with the most neat weapons and equipment. And under the order of the commander-in-chief, large-scale training began to be carried out with Huairen County as the center.

Not only that, the 5,000 elite rebels who were carefully selected among them quickly drove to Datong Mansion to fortify the road that must enter Huairen, blocking a possible attack on Huairen by the Tiger and Par Army. Integrate the troops for yourself, train the troops, improve your strength, and buy time as much as possible.

When the rebels took advantage of this rare opportunity to expand their strength, Wei Zheng was not idle.

Of course, this is not that Wei Zheng intends to take the initiative to attack the rebels, but that Wei Zheng should seize the time, digest the results, further enhance his strength, and prepare for his future Datong Mansion.

As a result, Datong Mansion, which had just experienced a bloody battle, immediately fell into a strange situation.

The two armies at the junction of the enemy's defense and the territory should do their best not to touch the interests of the other side, so as to prevent unnecessary fighting.

In the defense areas of both sides, they should seize the time to train their troops and expand their military strength......

Just when Datong Mansion slowly fell into this superficially calm situation, Tuntian, which was related to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, eating and drinking, was promoted by Wei Zheng and ......

According to the order of Zhou Shuyuan, the envoy of Datong Xuanfu, the Tuntian soldiers, composed of thousands of displaced people, under the protection of the Tiger and Leopard Army, carried rudimentary tools for famine. Depart from Datong City. Go to your own Tuntian area.

A village less than twenty miles away from Datong City. Because of the drought every year, there is no grain harvest. The village, which was still inhabited by thousands of people, became empty because of the famine.

As for the thousands of acres of fertile land around the village, due to drought and lack of water, the villagers fled and all of them were abandoned.

However, this situation has completely changed since yesterday.

Under the leadership of a Wu Haw Par Army. Hundreds of displaced people have moved into the village.

It took a day to clean up the huge village. Early the next morning, more than 200 young people among the hundreds of displaced people, under the leadership of the Tiger and Leopard Army, left the village with rudimentary tools for land reclamation and began to open up the wasteland.

Because of the promise of the General Military Guard: Before the beginning of spring next year, no matter how many fields are reclaimed, half of the land will be owned by them.

Not only that, but the General Military Office also drilled a deep well for every 50 acres of land for free. Let everyone have water to water the land and grow food. Feed yourself...... What I need to pay is only a tax of 30 catties of grain per mu, and in addition, there is no other harsh and miscellaneous taxes.

Such a good opportunity, of course, everyone will not let go.

Therefore, after arriving at the designated location, more than 200 young people have made full efforts to reclaim as much wasteland as possible.

Not to mention, it only took two days for more than 200 acres of land to be reclaimed.

On the morning of the third day, when everyone was working hard to reclaim the land as usual, an accident happened. A group of more than 100 people, armed with sticks and cold weapons, like a group of hungry wolves that have gone crazy, rushed towards these homeless people without hesitation.

After rushing to the front of him, he didn't ask anything, he just raised his weapon and greeted the homeless.

Although these homeless people had twice the numerical advantage, because they were unprepared, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of homeless people were killed and knocked to the ground by the Jiading Guardian who rushed up. When the remaining displaced people realized the danger and raised their farm tools to fight back under the organization of several Haw Par Army officers and soldiers. The number of people on both sides has been equal.

However, because the homeless people were holding farm tools in their hands, and the Jiading Nursing Home was holding either sticks or cold weapons, the melee lasted less than a stick of incense before ending in the disastrous defeat of the homeless.

In the face of the more than 200 homeless people who fell to the ground with their arms or legs in front of them and let out a burst of wails, the head of the courtyard who was holding a ghost-headed knife walked up to everyone and shouted with an arrogant face.

"Listen to me, you untouchables... The land here is owned by the king's foreign family. It's deserted, but it's not a borderland. Therefore, you cannot cultivate the land here. Today, we are just giving you a small lesson, if you don't leave here, continue to reclaim the land here. Wang Yuanwai not only wants to break everyone's legs, but also sends everyone to the official mansion and let you all suffer lawsuits..."

"Brothers, go, go back and tell the king, we have taught these untouchables a lesson..."

After the homestay carried the wounded away, the homeless people who were lying on the ground wailing also slowly endured the pain and got up from the ground, took the wounded with them, and retreated to the village step by step.

At the same time, the news was quickly sent to Datong Province by the Haw Par Army, which was responsible for protecting the displaced people.

Datong General Military Office, although Zhou Shuyuan wore the official hat of Datong Xuanfu Envoy, he still insisted on working in Datong General Military Office. Similarly, Wang Peng, who has been appointed as the envoy of Datong Xuanfu and is in charge of Tuntian, also lived in the General Military Mansion and worked in the Yamen of the General Military Mansion...

After receiving the news from the Tuntian Point, Wang Peng's first thought was that the Tuntian plan of the General Soldier had begun to be resisted by the forces of the local gentry.

didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and directly sent the news to Zhou Shuyuan.

After listening to Wang Peng's report, Zhou Shuyuan, who had a solemn face, asked directly: "Wang Tongzhi, do you think it is possible that this so-called Wang Yuanwai is likely to deliberately make trouble for us......

Wang Peng shook his head and replied helplessly: "My lord, the lower officials can be sure that the purpose of this Wang Yuanwai is to stop us from Tuntian." As for the reason he put forward, the judgment of the following officials should be true. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Peng seemed to think of something, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, you may not be particularly aware of the local situation in Datong Mansion..."

"Because of the annual drought, a lot of land in Datong Province was not harvested a few years ago. Without food, ordinary people cannot survive. As a last resort, the people can only exchange the land in their hands for food..."

"But who would have thought that this drought would last so long... After all the land in his hands was exchanged for food, he still didn't meet a good year. As a last resort, these people who had lost their land had to leave their homes and become one of the many displaced people in the Ming Dynasty..."

"In order to facilitate management, most of our tuntian sites are located in villages that have been abandoned by the people. These villages are ostensibly deserted, but in fact there is a lot of land that has been taken into their own hands by various means by the local gentry a few years ago. ”

"The officials and gentry and landlords of the entire Datong Mansion know that Tuntian was organized by the chief soldier. Under such circumstances, these local gentry still dare to come and make trouble, which means that they really have real evidence in their hands..."

"Otherwise, with the current status of the General Military Mansion in Datong Mansion, it only takes one sentence to make these officials and gentry ruin overnight... Therefore, Xia Guan affirmed that the reasons put forward by this Wang Yuanwai were all true. ”

"Not only that, but in the coming period, there will definitely be other tuntian sites that will be attacked and obstructed by the local gentry. Because, once our tuntian plan succeeds, the large amount of grain hoarded in the hands of these gentry and landlords will become worthless. And their influence at the local level will be weakened to the lowest point as a result. ”

Zhou Shuyuan nodded, and his already dignified facial expression became even more dignified at this moment.

After taking a deep breath, he replied to Wang Peng: "Now it seems that we have all far underestimated the series of problems that Tuntian may face. As for the issue at hand, when there is evidence in the hands of Wang Yuanwai, we must not blindly deal with it. Otherwise, we will lose the support of all the gentry and landlords in Datong Province, and even lose the hearts of the people..."

"Let's go, let's go meet the chief soldier and see if the chief soldier has any good opinions..."

In the lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion, Zhou Shuyuan and Wang Peng respectively said their intentions. Wei Zheng's face did not show the solemn expression that the two imagined, but a trace of fierce murderous aura.

After slamming his fist clenched because of anger on the table in front of him, he scolded loudly: "These selfish gentry, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of these people..."

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng's tone changed directly, and he said coldly: "Since these officials and landlords want to oppose me, watching tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of homeless people starving to death, and are indifferent, then I will let them also taste the despair of people who are not helped in their predicament..."

After feeling the fierce murderous aura emanating from Wei Zheng's body, Wang Peng, who was standing in front of him, didn't care that he was a newcomer, and directly persuaded Wei Zheng: "Please calm your anger......The lower officials think that when there is evidence in the hands of the local gentry, we must not be brutal." Otherwise, we will push all the officials and gentry and landlords in the entire Datong Mansion to the opposite side..."

"You must know that these officials and landlords are all people with great influence in the local area, and once we become opponents with them, then we will lose the support of the people in the entire Datong Mansion..."

"Besides, not all of them are selfish people... We must not confuse them. ”

After casting a look of appreciation at Wang Peng, the murderous aura on Wei Zheng's body quickly disappeared.

Then, he said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, although I am a soldier, I also have brains, and I will definitely not do anything..."

"What you said is very reasonable, we must not mix up these gentry and landlords. In this case, then I, Wei Zheng, will give them a salute first and then soldiers....If they know the current affairs and have a view of the overall situation, then they are my Wei Zheng's friends. However, if they don't know the current affairs, then don't blame me for being unkind..." (To be continued......)
