The Longmen guard will be a thousand generals, but he has long slipped away with his henchmen, and now the guards are a thousand households, thousands of households and thousands of total are completely different, thousands are always generals in the army, but thousands of households are hereditary, the dragon gate guards have long been full of holes, there is no need to continue to hold on, this is also why he opened the city gate to surrender to the stone camp.

Ling Jingyang didn't treat him badly, and asked him if he was willing to continue to serve in the army, Qianhu lowered his head, thinking that there were not many guards and horses in Longmen, and there was not much land, and between the Qing army and the Mongols, he continued to serve as a soldier and eat salary, I was afraid that he would have a life to earn money and not to spend money, so it was better to be a shopkeeper and bring the silver home to live.

He expressed his willingness to disarm and return to the field to Ling Jingyang, and Ling Jingyang was also completely speechless, there was Mo Yiyun before, with a thousand taels of silver and his subordinates to return to the countryside, this thousand households are also like her, don't these people know that it is a troubled time now? Without armed forces, how can you protect a family?

But thousands of households opened the city gate to surrender, and gave up military power, just to go home and enjoy happiness, Ling Jingyang was embarrassed to refuse, so he asked him to go to the logistics baggage camp to receive a thousand taels of silver, and then go wherever he likes.

Qianhu Meizizi went to the logistics baggage camp, received 1,000 taels of silver, rode a war horse and disappeared in the vast sea of people, Ling Jingyang ordered all troops and horses to be stationed in Longmenwei, and asked Zhang Luofu to lead the troops to Longmen, Zhang Luofu led the troops, and brought dry food to the direction of Longmen.

After Ling Jingyang arranged the military affairs, he sat in the Longmen guard, waiting for Zhang Luofu's news, and he was suddenly surprised to find that the troops under his command were too scattered, or too weak, and only a few descendants such as Huang Daozhong, Wang Chengen, and Wang Bao escorted the huge logistics.

These soldiers and horses are also full of a large number of surrendered troops, these surrendered soldiers will follow the stone camp because they have silver and grain and grass, and when the silver and grain and grass are consumed, the surrendered troops will surrender to other forces again.

He thought about how to improve the loyalty of the soldiers, at this time, Mi Shengguang took the heads of the four major families to ask to see Ling Jingyang, and Ling Jingyang was surprised how these people got together?

Let Dong Daqi bring them in, Mi Shengguang and the four middle-aged and elderly people came to Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang asked them to sit down, because they had just occupied the Longmen Guard, everything was simple, and without waiting for Ling Jingyang to speak, Mi Shengguang hurriedly said: "General Ling, our army has arrived in Xuanfu Town, is the next step to go to Shanxi?" ”

Ling Jingyang nodded, there is no need to keep this secret from Mi Shengguang and others, the destination of the army is Shanxi, Mi Shengguang and an old man nodded, this person is the head of the Wen family and the father of Wen Budi.

He stepped forward and bowed to Ling Jingyang, then looked nearby, there was no one else, and whispered: "General Ling, my Wen family has been walking the border to do some small business over the years, and there is a small road that can bypass Xuanfu Town. ”

Ling Jingyang stood up suddenly, this is a great thing, he asked again: "Old Wen, is this true?" ”

In the past, the Wen family used to smuggle weapons, and they bypassed the border army from this trail, although they were far away, they were not harassed by the border troops along the way, and there was no city to block the way forward.

Ling Jingyang asked him how many days it would take to reach Shanxi, and the head of the Wen family replied to him, before the caravan had to go for a month, but it was to bring a lot of goods, and now the whole army only brings grain and grass, and it can arrive at Tianchengwei in ten days at most, and the Wen family still has some shops in Tianchengwei, which can allow the army to enter the city to rest.

Ling Jingyang didn't believe the Wen family, but he didn't completely abandon it, and immediately summoned Li Rufeng, Li Rufeng rushed over, saw Ling Jingyang and a group of old men together, was a little surprised, and said: "Ling Duwei, you won't ask me to have a drink with this group of old men?" ”

Ling Jingyang didn't see outside, Li Rufeng said to Li Rufeng about this character: "The Wen family has a small road, you can bypass Xuanfu Town, you take a fast horse, go with the Wen family tonight, go back quickly." ”

Li Rufeng just likes this kind of challenging task, and immediately took the head of the Wen family to the cavalry camp, Mi Shengguang waited for Li Rufeng to leave, and then said to Ling Jingyang: "General, our army has been tired all the way, if you can really follow the Wen family's path to Shanxi, it will be a great thing." ”

"Mi Shengguang, if you come to me, just talk this nonsense, if you have any fart, let it go."

was scolded by Ling Jingyang, Mi Shengguang hurriedly made a move, and Ling Jingyang said that the Wen family, the Qiao family, the Zhao family, and the Tian family also have some business in Shanxi, and please give the four families some care in the jurisdiction after the general arrives in Shanxi.

Ling Jingyang also laughed in his heart, the army did not go to Shanxi, and when they arrived in Shanxi, they had to compete with the Shanxi Ming army for territory, and it was not known who would kill the deer, so these businessmen began to invest, it was really the power of capital.

He and Mi Shengguang, three middle-aged and elderly people, said: "These are all small things, but our army has not yet invaded Shanxi, if you want to be taken care of, you must support our army wholeheartedly, and when you conquer Shanxi Prefecture and County, in my territory, your four families will be exempt from tax for three years, halved in five years, and restored in ten years." ”

When he said this, Mi Shengguang and several people showed incredible expressions on their faces, they are also old rivers and lakes, but it is the first time they have heard such a preferential policy, although it may not count in the future, but in the next few years, they can enjoy solid discounts.

Ling Jingyang looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, and suddenly said in a muffled voice: "Everyone, if you want to make a fortune, you and your successors will follow me closely in the next hundred years, as well as my successors. ”

Mi Shengguang and the others nodded hurriedly, they also knew that if an external force broke through the stone camp, the silver, land and everything else of these landlords and merchants would become fish and meat, and they would be eaten by the hostile forces, they patted their chests and Ling Jingyang said that they were willing to follow General Ling, as well as General Ling's heir.

Ling Jingyang also said that if he found out that someone had colluded with other forces and betrayed the soldiers and civilians of Shiying, he would raze the three clans.

He spoke in a very vicious tone, so frightened that Mi Shengguang and the others overflowed with beads of sweat on their foreheads, and swore that they would not hook up with other forces, and follow Shiying wholeheartedly, and would also put the headquarters of the family's business in the area ruled by Shiying, and there would definitely be no two hearts.

Ling Jingyang has long wanted to knock and knock these merchants, but there is no suitable time, today with this opportunity, he finally reached a loose alliance with these merchants, these families help the interests and Shi Ying to tie together, and then use dates and sticks together, the effect is good.
