Chapter 1304 - The Prefect Who Looks Like a Military General
This is tantamount to handing over the property of the Confucian Mansion, Kong Zhang's statement is not to eat inside and out, but to really consider the Confucian family in Qufu, but the Confucian Mansion does not think so, after learning the news, the scolding is already mild, and there are a lot of people who want to fight and kill, but the Ding Zhuang controlled by Kong Zhang is the most elite group on the Qufu side, not only did he suffer a loss, but he took out a few bad breaths, and won four grange properties for himself.
Compared with the magnificence of the Zhao Jiajun in Shandong and Beizhili, the Third Brigade operating in the Jiangbei of Nanzhili has not much to say, when the Zhao Jiajun took most of the fields in Fengyang Mansion and began to recruit displaced people from Henan and Huguang and began to reclaim the land, the heroes of the entire Nanzhili had no power to resist, and they had no intention of resisting in life.
Those who do business know that Xuzhou Zhao Jin is a heavy business, and now Nanzhili is the treasure of the world, after Haizhou Port and Qingjiangpu are added up, it is enough to gather and operate the whole world and foreign goods, and those who want to do business do not take the opportunity to mix a foot, is it still stupidly loyal to the Ming court, is this court any good for everyone? And the tycoons who run the grange near Luzhou Mansion can only be obedient at this time.
Not to mention that those private soldiers are not the opponents of the Xuzhou army, the uncle of the Geng family has already passed the word, even if he doesn't fight, Xuzhou can also reduce the price of rice to the extreme, so that everyone can go bankrupt first, and then spend money to clean up, no one dares to believe this threat, because Xuzhou does control the price of grain, not to mention the role of Qingjiangpu City, just saying that there are so many tunken granges in Xuzhou, if you really want to tear your face to the business war, you can take out a huge amount of materials to crush the market in an instant, not to mention that Xuzhou also controls the price of bulk materials such as cotton, salt and ironware, as soon as these things are pinched, everyone is going to collapse.
Without the support of the local powerful gentry, the remaining officers and soldiers had no intention of resisting, and the generals directly sold their soldiers in order to get out of themselves, or for Xuzhou to give some good conditions, and these officers and soldiers who could not fight were moved to the east of Huai'an Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion in Nanzhili, where people were needed to build the river.
What makes the "loyal people" depressed is that the most loyal Xiucai, Juren and the villagers are also very peaceful, no one is loyal to the country, no one organizes the righteous army, what can really make trouble is some poor acid, their way of making trouble is nothing more than to cry in front of the official mansion, and further is to go to Yunshanxing and Zhao Jiajun to scold, the former no one cares, the latter is a whip and labor, and soon it will be quiet, all the characters who have some family property dare to make trouble, there are many opportunities to think about it, and they can further make a fortune, If you don't have the heart to keep this industry, you can live peacefully, Zhao Jiajun will not take advantage of it, even if you are poor, you are willing to work as an officer, and the literate people are always good to find errands.
Even if the news of the "land census" spread to the south of Zhili and Jiangbei, it did not set off too much turmoil, and the tycoons who really wanted to worry about this matter knew that Zhao Jiajun was powerful, and no one dared to act rashly, and this side was different from Shandong, it has been relatively peaceful here, and there are many people from the imperial examination, divided and combined, and rotated from generation to generation, it is difficult to gather too much land.
The progress of the Third Brigade continued to be transmitted, so that Zhao Jiajun just marched back according to the normal progress, and the garrisons of the brigades were constantly adjusted along the way.
The Northern Expedition of the Zhao Family, in the process of advancing northward, is not much different from the previous times, the army is moving forward, watching the lively and sending the reward people, but everyone is keeping a distance, cautious and cautious, because this Zhao Jiajun is a thief, so to rebel, implicated, but a killing of the end of the family, and now it is different, at this time there is already some change of dynasty weather, everyone has no scruples, this look at the fresh habit of joining in the excitement is the attack again, the Zhao family army on the way, there is a town nearby and the like, there must be a crowd of onlookers on the side of the road, I was still careful at first, these military masters are not easy to mess with, but later I found that the Zhao family army has strict rules, and everyone dares to take a closer look.
Fortunately, Zhao Jiajun's performance this time also has the meaning of showing strength, as long as the onlookers don't know too much about the rules and approach, then they can watch.
The people naturally can't see any way, feel that the Xuzhou soldiers and horses walk neatly, a good iron, and some people say how good this iron armor should be if it is plowshared, the children look happy, here they see, go back to play and play when they still imitate, young people look envious, everyone has a consensus this year, that is, the children of the good family do not go to be soldiers, usually the family says so, go out to see the obscene and murderous appearance of the Ming Dynasty official army, I feel that this is indeed not a glorious thing to learn martial arts, but to see the majestic momentum of the Zhao family's army, Seeing the strict queue like a mountain, everyone couldn't help but feel that this is also a very decent thing to be a soldier.
In the left and left places of Jining Prefecture, there are more people watching the excitement, Jining Prefecture is already Zhao Jin's loyal subordinates, Zhao Jiajun returned from a triumphant victory, they naturally rejoiced, not to mention anything else, their own wealth and food and clothing can be preserved, and they can even go further, which is enough to be happy.
So many people watched, the internal guards and patrolmen were busy, for fear that there would be any danger in it, but Zhao Jiajun went fast and came back quickly, with the reaction speed of the Beijing Division, it was difficult to do anything in time, but he was not afraid of 10,000 in case, and finally Lei Cai personally came forward to persuade Zhao Jin to give an order, on the way back to the division, there were light cavalry on both sides of the large army column, so that the onlookers and the team kept a certain distance.
With this distance, coupled with the crowd of the guards, even the archers were helpless against Zhao Jin and a cadre of generals, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, although there was a drive to block, but the interest of the gentry and the common people to watch was still undiminished, but everyone was going to compete for the high place, the high place could be seen more clearly, and it was condescending, and it looked more imposing.
Among the people who watch the excitement, there are men, women and children, and there are often female dependents of large families who set up a shed in a suitable place to watch, which is also why they know that the military discipline of the Zhao family army is strict, otherwise who has the courage to do this, there are many rich gentry wearing long shirts and square scarves, but there are more idle people in short dresses, and passing merchants are also willing to stop and look, which is always a talking point in the future.
In addition to these people, you can often see martial artists and capable characters, some people carry weapons, some people dress up in disguise but are flawed everywhere, and there are also the kind of people who can't see it, and they are full of flaws in the eyes of the experts of the internal guard patrol, and the origin of these people is nothing more than a few, the government, the green forests, rivers and lakes, and the local heroes, Zhao Jiajun has not been seen less in the south and north, and he is not afraid of people observing him like this, as long as these people do not take risks and things, Zhao Jiajun is too lazy to pay attention to them.
After Jining City, the first brigade left to prepare, the second brigade left the second regiment and a company of the rest of the regiments to prepare here, and the rest of the departments were stationed in Xuzhou and nearby, continue to return to the south, the more south to see the lively people, after all, this side is already the territory of the Zhao family army in Xuzhou, and everyone is not new to come and go, only some idlers are looking over there.
Although it has been getting colder and colder year by year, Lunan's June is still hot and abnormal, standing on the high ground on the side of the road in civilian clothes can not help wiping sweat, a little impatient and anxious, he vaguely heard that the horse group is about to set up a new yamen, is picking people in the internal guard and patrol, there are already people around him have been selected, now this season, not afraid of too many things, afraid of few things, the general trend of entering the master has risen, and if you don't make meritorious service, the future wealth will be almost colorful, but at this time, how can there be so many opportunities to do things and make meritorious contributions.
What Ma Chonghao has to do, although the internal and external secrets, but the internal guards and patrolmen are doing confidential things, and they have to select capable people among them to build a shelf first, there are already rumors that the selected ones pretend to be calm, and the ones who are not selected are anxious and anxious, but they also have to be calm externally, otherwise this emotional fluctuation will be considered unqualified.
The internal guard swept left and right, the rich and noble people nearby and the idlers, this is more ordinary, most of the audience along the way are like this, the only eye-catching is a big man in the crowd, half a head taller than ordinary people, the figure is very burly and strong, fortunately, there is no fierceness on the face, it looks quite calm and quiet, what is really strange is that this person is actually wearing a Confucian green shirt, twisting a Sven appearance.
Whoever sees this wants to laugh, even the casual guard, you say that you have to pretend to be a scholar when you kill people with a knife, and everyone is blind? It's better to come over with a straightforward nature, and no one will do anything to you, the casual guards didn't care after a few glances, this burly "scholar" was dressed up very well, with a sword at his waist, but this saber was really a priority, and there were two servants beside him, who seemed to be ordinary people, and he didn't see any bow and crossbow equipment, so he really didn't care.
He doesn't care here, but the crowd cares a lot, everyone comes out to see the situation, the appearance of this "scholar" can be written down and go back to laugh, there are two people behind the lively team, dressed like a vendor, and the accent is also from the North Zhili Daimyo's Mansion, staring at the "scholar" to discuss.
"Second brother, this is not our new prefect, what is it called, what is it called Lu Xiangsheng I can't forget his appearance, I saw it outside the mansion that time, but I was really shocked, if it wasn't for the old root of the errand to confirm, I thought this was a general."
