When a few coalition bandits who were afraid of death and often deserted in the battle, when Xu Jiajun did not pay attention to the battlefield, they took advantage of the night to crawl back to Orange City, and learned that the old nest was taken away. From the mouths of these bandits who picked up a life, the bandits in Orange City and even near White Lotus City got a shocking news.

That is, the Black Wind Village, which was originally run by the two Xu brothers, after his son took over the cottage, he wiped out the Tu family and the Jin family. The nearly 1,000 bandit coalition organized by Jin Muhao also fell into the hands of the Xu family army without return. For a time, the prestige of Xu Jiajun made all the bandits active in the vicinity fearful.

As for Zhu Sandao, the commander of the Juxiang City Defense Battalion, who also wanted to take advantage of the fisherman's profit, he was also half frightened to death after getting the news. I am afraid that this powerful Xu Jiajun will look for him to avenge his father's murder that day. Where are they still scheming about the millions of wealth that Xu Jiajun stole from the Jin family?

The battle of Junfeng Mountain made Xu Jiajun's prestige on the road, and it also made the people of Baofeng Town, who felt that Xu Jiajun was afraid that he would not be able to win in this war. After realizing that Junfeng Mountain, which is the closest to Baofeng Town, with Xu Jiajun as the town, I believe that ordinary bandits dare not go to Xu Jiajun's territory to rob it!

began to return to Baofeng Town from the place of refuge, and began to farm and beg for a living as usual. As for the landlords in Baofeng Town, who were weaker than the Tu family, when they learned that the village chief of Huangjiazhuang had a very good relationship with the leader of Xu Jiajun, they sent people to contact him. I hope to hand over some benefits every year, so that Xu Jiajun will not fight their ideas.

In the face of these small landlords, who mostly engaged in trading rather than the butchers, who exploited the people's land rents for profit, Xu Bin specially received these landlords who had been invited and had to come over hard. After learning that Xu Bin not only did not accept their filial piety, but offered to cooperate with these merchants and landlords, hoping to run some commercial transactions together.

If the landlord who does not have enough money to expand the workshop, he can even get funding from Xu Jiajun, on the condition that Xu Jiajun is given dividends. This win-win method makes the small landlords in Baofeng Town happy and often relieved.

With the support of these small landlords, Xu Jiajun began to draw some soldiers and began to station in various villages where soldiers had joined Xu's army. The soldiers of the Xu Jiajun who came out of the village were responsible for forming the villagers' self-defense force. And the direct leader of the Self-Defense Forces has no doubt that it is Xu Jiajun.

The militiamen who have excellent training results in the Self-Defense Forces will be recommended by the self-defense captain of the village to enter the regular troops of the Xujia Army, where the training conditions are more difficult, but the welfare benefits are impossible for the young people of the town to refuse. With the villagers' self-defense forces, with the acquiescence of the small landlords and the support of the villagers, they began to prosper in Baofeng Town. The officials of the town office who were shocked by the soldiers of the Xu family could only reluctantly accept that Baofeng Town was under the jurisdiction of no government.

When they heard that the village below had formed their own village-level self-defense units, they thought about these poor people once they had guns in hand. In the future, it will be extremely difficult to go to the village to collect taxes.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, the land deed of the rice fields in Baofeng Town, which was once forcibly seized by the Tu family, is now all in the hands of Xu Jiajun. The willingness of these villages to accept the formation of self-defense forces stems in large part from these land deeds.

According to the regulations of Xu Jiajun sending people to the village to publicize, that is, the villages that have formed self-defense forces will be protected by Xu Jiajun. The title deed that originally belonged to them will also be returned or rewarded according to their loyalty. The condition for the return of these land deeds was that these people were not allowed to do anything harmful to the Xu family army for three years.

It is only necessary to give the income obtained every year to Xu Jiajun as rent. At the expiration of the three-year period, villages that meet the conditions of the fortress village and have formed a self-defense force will receive the title deeds of all the villages returned by the Xu Jiajun.

Not to mention the expiration of the three-year period, the people of Baofeng Town, who are often exploited by the landlords and exploited by the town office and even other government governments in turn, are protected and paid rent. After hearing that he only needs to pay three years of land rent to Xu Jiajun every year, and all the rest of the taxes are not called, even the government of Orange City.

If the government in the city dares to send troops in to forcibly collect rent, then the Xu family army sitting in Junfeng Mountain will beat back these officials and soldiers who exploit the people's fat and people's cream. Xu Jiajun, who released this cruel sentence, originally seemed to the people to be retaliated against by the government, but he waited for a while.

The officers and soldiers in the city did not come, and even the officials sent to the town by the city were frightened out of Baofeng Town by the threats and intimidation they received from time to time. For a time, Baofeng Town was like being separated from Orange City, and it really became Xu Jiajun's private territory.

In fact, the government of Orange City did not think about crusading against the Xu family's army, but it was not long after the annihilation of the bandit coalition army last time. The call for help sent to the state capital has not been replied to for a long time. Relying solely on Orange City's own liliang, to crusade against the Xu Jiajun, who even beat the nearly 1,000 bandit coalition army, isn't it an obvious act of looking for death?

Now although Xu Jiajun is arrogant in words, the scope of expansion is limited to Baofeng Town, and in other places, even Orange City, they have not committed any crimes. The officials, who knew the domestic situation better than ordinary people, didn't want to provoke Xu Jiajun, so they could only endure the hatred for Xu Jiajun in their hearts. Explain that the officers and soldiers are not allowed to enter Baofeng Town at will, so as not to let Xu Jiajun find an excuse to invade the county seat at any time.

At that time, they were attacked by the Xu army, and the reinforcements from the state capital could not be sent. Their now comfortable little days are probably also facing farewell. The stakes of this, how can an official who is good at calculation not see that he should choose that way to get along with Xu Jiajun!

At the beginning, I thought that Xu Bin was young and got carried away when he got some benefits, but when he saw that the government obediently acquiesced to Baofeng Town, it became the territory of Xu's army's development. also started their own calculations, following the example of Xu Jiajun, and released words to grab land from the government.

It's a pity that the government is afraid of Xu Jiajun's strength, and Xu Jiajun is relatively honest. After taking Baofeng Town, he also entrusted those business landlords who had connections with the city to send a thousand Longyang to the two military and political officials in the city to express their gratitude. said that they only need Baofeng Town, and other sites are not interested for the time being.

Baofeng Town, which was looted into a poor town by the butchers, saw that Xu Jiajun knew the rules very well, and although he spoke arrogantly, he did not lose face for the two senior military and political officials. The voice of the crusade also began to be suppressed. At this time, other small bandit cottages followed suit, in exchange for the encirclement and suppression of the army of city defense officials.

The bandits who were beaten with a dull stick and wanted to be the king of the land were honestly buried in the mountains, and they didn't dare to engage in any village joint defense like Xu Jiajun. In fact, they knew that Xu Bin, who originally released cruel words, also thought of such an unintentional move when he saw that the attack on the training mountain had lost its suddenness, so as to test the meaning of the government to Xu Jiajun.

If they adopt a resolute attack attitude, then Xu Jiajun will continue to honestly hide in the mountains and practice internal skills. But if they don't pay attention, then this Baofeng Town will swallow it directly. As the first base of Xu Jiajun in addition to Junfeng Mountain.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations, and it seemed that they were shocked by the destruction of the bandit coalition last time, and the officials and troops in the city were indifferent in the face of Baofeng Town being devoured by the Xu family's army. This made Xu Bin more and more aware that the Linzhou Mansion was short of troops, and the situation in Gannan Province began to become tense. That's why it led to this kind of rebellion-like behavior, and the government in the city did not dare to make any reaction.

I am glad that my nephew's boldness has once again paid off handsomely, and Xu Yizhong will make less trouble for the Xu family army in the future in order to let the officials in the city make less trouble. Only then did the landlord who insisted on cooperating with them in business send a letter of 1,000 yuan to the two depressed but powerless senior military and political officials to express Xu Jiajun's sincerity.

Anyway, in these years, the landlord who is older in Shili can basically be powerful in the town, but the government can't do anything with him. The Jin family in Jinzhu Town, which was destroyed by Xu Jiajun, is this kind of local tyrant who has no effect on the county officials in the town.

The officials and men in the city faced Xu Jiajun's strength and knowledge, and they also knew that it would not be easy for them to fall out, so they tacitly accepted that Baofeng Town was taken over by Xu Jiajun. But other cottage leaders who occupy the mountain as kings and don't have much strength also want to make this kind of behavior to split Orange City.

It undoubtedly touched the nerves of the officials and elders in the city, and they didn't know who they were exterminating! Persimmon to find a soft pinch, everyone understands. To put it bluntly, if you want to be like Xu Jiajun, let the government take them, unless their strength can be the same as Xu Jiajun. But can they do it?

Like Xu Bin, all the wealth obtained from the robbery was used to expand armaments and improve the livelihood of the people. This kind of behavior is not like what a bandit and a big boss of a cottage dos. Even the people in the current government call the Xu family army a bandit army.

But the people of Baofeng Town, who had been in contact with Xu Jiajun for a period of time, did feel that if they were to choose the so-called regular army in the city, it would still be the Xu Jiajun who was now called a bandit army by the regular army. They prefer to enjoy the protection of bandit armies rather than regular armies.

At least after the establishment of the joint defense and self-defense forces in each village, there were many fewer cases of Baofeng Town being plagued by bandits or the government. The daughters-in-law who didn't dare to go out at will before also began to take up their posts with the self-defense forces around them, and they also dared to show their heads. This was something that would have been impossible to do before!
