Chapter 551: Cutting Flesh and Rubbing Oil

Qi Jiguang and Yan Hong made up their minds to expand their recruitment, and Yan Hong sent people down to publicize some policies, such as three cents a day for military salaries, no arrears, discounts, and a salary for 30 days, etc., and soon nearly 300 people were willing to join the army.

Qi Jiguang took a few henchmen to screen them one by one. According to the recruitment standards of Zhejiang soldiers, after some scrubbing, Qi Jiguang really picked out nearly eighty people, which met his recruitment standards. This is a small number, but it is the backbone. In the future, the large-scale expansion of Zhejiang soldiers will definitely not be implemented in accordance with the strict standards of Yiwu recruitment, and those recruited at this time can be used as officers in the future. In fact, a few years later, when many people quarreled with their mother-in-law, they beat their chests and said: "At that time, Lao Tzu was dragged down by you, if I hadn't been thinking about you and the child, I would have reported my name at that time, maybe I would be a general now." ”

Yan Hong's side, with 3,000 main troops in battle, he was even more confident, before the banquet, he carried a gun and a stick, and first forced Geng Dunru to spit out all the embezzled Geng Shaoquan's property, and made flowers and the dowry money of Geng's second daughter. If those industries are still reversed, they must be handed over to the treasury, but because Geng Dunru has done something from it, after his rinsing, the money is equivalent to being taken out of Geng Dunru's hands to make the dowry of two Geng Jiazhai women, and this money is naturally surnamed Yan.

Then there is the armor that the Geng family has privately hidden. Yan Hong, out of his own habits, has always opposed the people's own arming outside the imperial court system. Especially the local tyrants like the Geng family are powerful, and having arms is an unstable factor in the imperial court. Therefore, he immediately ordered the collection of ordnance, and all kinds of contraband stored by the Geng family, such as crossbows, iron armor, and standard ordnance in the army, were all confiscated, and even the weapons that he had built himself before. Most of them were also confiscated. Where is a strong bow. It was also received in the hands of Zhejiang soldiers. This time, the Geng family was completely pulled out, and they didn't have the strength to fight with others in a short period of time.

As for the fact that Gengjiazhai has no weapons, how to resist it in case of another invasion by the Japanese Invaders, this is not something that Young Master Yan has to consider. It's really not good, you can pick it with a hoe and a stick. It is not uncommon to have a case of beating a Japanese to death with a stick. Even if you can't play with a stick or hoe, then you have to blame Geng Shaoquan for not having long eyes and offending Master Yan.

As for those disputed fields, Yan Hong really wanted to be a good person. According to the demarcation in the contract, the boundary monument was moved back and the land in the neighboring village that had been occupied by the Geng family was returned. Anyway, all the land owned by the Geng family is their own, so it will not be said to infringe on the vested interests of a large household and cause a backlash. Although Yan Hong himself is not a good official with clean sleeves, he really doesn't want to occupy the ill-gotten wealth of the neighboring village. If you rob someone, you will return it to others.

Unexpectedly, the more than a dozen family patriarchs around him originally wanted to bring Tian back, but at this time they changed their minds, not only did they not want to, but they also wanted to join their own clan. The fields that were close to the Geng family's fields were also sold to Yan Qincha.

They are well-heard. knew the tricks played by Geng Dunru, and secretly scolded himself for being confused. What a great opportunity this is, why do you look at it yourself? Compared with that bit of land, it is the most important thing to get to the knot. This is Yan Ge's grandson, a ruthless character in the court who can speak, if he doesn't stammer now, do you want to stutter in the future? Especially the old man Hua of Huajiazhuang, he has sent someone to find Huayuexian's father, so that he can hurry up and have a relationship with his daughter, since your daughter let Qin Cha sleep, you have to fight for some benefits for our Huajiazhuang. In this way, even the good and the bad, Yan Hong has more than 5,000 acres of land under his name.

After the banquet was over, Yan Hong summoned the group to the ancestral hall of the Geng family and said another thing that made them very happy: You can continue to do what Geng Dalang did in the past, and I am the backer. Only then did these people understand that the Qin Cha was willing to be their backer and sell salt! In the past, the heads of the more than a dozen families and village elders who fought endlessly and never stopped, but now they are like old friends for many years, calling them brothers and brothers, and making friends. After all, Yan Qin has something to say, and in the future, everyone will share the money according to the amount of salt they contribute. In the entire Taizhou Salt Road, only they are qualified to sell illicit salt, and if others dare to do the same for a living, the government will spare him.

What a lucrative trade in the smuggled salt trade, who wouldn't want to do it in the past? But who has the courage to dominate the Taizhou Salt Road? Yan Hong introduced them to a heroic group of Wenzhou martial arts, and everyone can help each other and help each other in the future. Zeng Shifang, Zeng Daxia, Dragon into the Sea, Dragon Old Hero, etc., are all big names on the Wenzhou Salt Road, and now Wentai and Taiwan have joined forces, and the natural wealth will roll in in the future. In this way, it was Geng Dunru, who originally felt that he had lost his wife and broken his soldiers, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

Of course, Yan Hong also has the conditions to send his own people in the salt selling team. Everyone thinks this is normal, after all, Yan Gongzi can't be a backer for nothing, he must take a cut. So isn't it normal to send your own eyeliner in the team and audit the accounts? How did they know that Yan Hong was in the private salt team to arrange Jinyiwei and began to investigate Banzhou.

In the past, Banzhou was the iron cylinder of the Yang family, and Jinyiwei had no organization or members in Banzhou, and the imperial court did not have any information about it. In fact, it's not just that, it's the same in all the areas where the feudal rule and the Tusi are set up. This time, Yan Hong wants to sell salt to tie up with Banzhou, and he wants to nail it in. Of course, the most direct factor in this is what Xia Zisu said, Zhang Qingyan will be married to the Yang family in Banzhou by the master. Niang Xipi, dare to pry Lao Tzu's corner, this time it doesn't matter if it's true or not, Lao Tzu wants to make you Banzhou unhappy!

As for the fact that as a high-ranking official of the imperial court, accepting the donation of the people's land led to the loss of the imperial court's land endowment; Supporting the sale of illicit salt, resulting in the loss of salt tax in the imperial court, is it a little sorry for the bullfighting suit on his body? There is no need to worry about this, anyway, the eldest prince Yan has made such a great contribution to the imperial court, it is simply a matter of helping the world, what does it matter if he is a little bit corrupt? With me and without me, it's just a matter of not letting the court suffer, right, ah?

So, after the major events of encroaching on people's land and selling illicit salt to dig the corners of feudalism and damage the public and self-enrichment were arranged, Yan Hong turned back to the house. Today, Hua and Geng Ernu were guarding by their side, and they even killed giants like Xin Wulang. He naturally expressed something. In addition to feeding the second daughter, he also promised to save Geng Jinling's father's life and give him dozens of acres of land so that he could have food. Geng Jinling was greatly moved when he heard this, and tried to ask again: "Although my brother is a bastard, but my little nephew, who is only four years old this year, can he ......?"

Hua Yuexian was afraid that Yan Hong would turn his face, so he hurriedly said, "Sister, what are you talking about?" The master can spare his father, it is already an extrajudicial grace, how can he not be satisfied? Master, the girl is young and ignorant, don't take it to heart. ”

Yan Hong smiled: "What are you afraid of? Am I that fierce? Let's do this, since Jin Ling brought it up, then I'll think of a way. When this kid grows up in the future, if he seeks revenge on me, it will depend on whether Jin Ling can keep me. He thought to himself, joke, your father is so arrogant, he will not be treated by me. Even if you kid is really Simba, Lao Tzu is not a scar.

Geng Jinling saw Yan Hong agree, and let out a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, master, I will ask for this child's life, and in the future, I will raise him as your family slave, and we will teach him some skills, and I will contribute to you in the future." As for revenge or something, my eldest brother is to blame, what revenge is there to say? ”

In the early morning of the next day, everyone left Gengjiazhai and returned to Taizhou, where Geng Dunru and other patriarchs and village elders lined up to see each other. Originally, I thought that this time I was fighting for the land, and the Geng family and the various ethnic groups were fighting each other, and they didn't know how much money they would have to spend on each other, and they even had to meet each other. Unexpectedly, now everyone has become a person in the same boat, and in the future, not only will they no longer fight, but they will also help each other, and the world is unpredictable. Among them, Hua Yuexian's father was the most affordable, Qin sent him 300 acres of land, and gave him 500 taels of silver, which was considered to have completely bought Hua Yuexian and cut off this relative.

Huayue Xian's father, who was not angry, took the money and food, and first danced happily and ate and drank. When he woke up, he slapped himself in the mouth again, and when others asked, he cried: "I hate my own short-sightedness, if I raise my girl for another two years and don't let her go out, and now I sell a girl's body to Qincha, how worthless is it?" Finally, there is a baby, sold cheaply, sold cheaply. ”

Yan Hong's side once Geng's family came down, not only made a fortune for himself, but also made war achievements, and even used two beauties, so that Geng Shaoquan was green from head to toe, and his heart was also happy. When they returned to Taizhou, Ye Guochen and Han Chunting saw that Qin was almost unharmed, and the Zhejiang soldiers also returned victorious, so they rejoiced first. After inquiring carefully, I knew that Qi Jiguang and they had broken the truth of 5,000, and they were even more relieved and congratulated one after another. With such a big victory this time, as a local government, it is indispensable to share the credit, which is probably enough to offset the previous sin.

Along the way, Yan Hong also inquired about Qi Jiguang's battle. learned that Xin Wulang and others did not know enough about the Mandarin Duck Array, and as a result, they lost a big battle in Taiping and hurt their vitality. And the nearly 1,000 Beilu troops that attacked Xinhe did not achieve the expected combat purpose. First of all, Mrs. Wang ordered the female dependents to put on military uniforms and deceive Zhejiang soldiers, frightening them to think that the main force of Zhejiang soldiers was here, and did not dare to attack, wasting precious time. As a result, at night, Mrs. Wang commanded the soldiers and horses in the city and the female soldiers she trained to go out of the city to raid, and the Japanese who killed them were defeated and lost.

By the time the Japanese finally reorganized their ranks and wanted to counterattack, the Taiping side had already finished fighting, and Xin Golang's defeated troops and the main chasing troops of the Zhejiang soldiers had arrived. As a result, not only was the siege of the new river lifted, but it also brought the Japanese to a ruin. Mrs. Qi has not come out since she passed the door, and she is very worried in her heart, always afraid that her husband will ask for a concubine. Now that I want to win this big victory, there is no shortage of wine and meat in the place, and between the banquets, don't play some tricks on me. Therefore, she took advantage of the victory in Xinhe, and also took her henchmen female soldiers to chase and kill the defeated soldiers with Qi Jiguang, and monitored her husband by the way. This lady will be slightly not general, husband and wife join forces, how can there be the benefits of the widow.

Since then, the Japanese have fought several battles in a row, all of which were unfavorable, and the result was only defeat after defeat. They tried to flee from Elephant Mountain, but the ship had already been routed by the Fujian Navy with the cooperation of Western pirates such as Chrissy. So he had to run towards Taizhou, and finally on the way to Taizhou, he encountered Yan Hong's ambush again, and finally the whole army was annihilated. (To be continued......)
