Zhangjiakou was defeated, but it couldn't be defended at all, after all, this is the place of the four wars, not to mention that Dolgon is stationed hundreds of miles away, and it will only be a matter of one day if he wants to come to the rescue, even Da Ming will not allow Zhangjiakou to be in the hands of Lantian, maybe he will secretly stumble.

Zhangjiakou is actually an enclave for Lantian, and it is also an enclave with no ruling foundation.

Some people will say, no, Guihua City is also an enclave, why can it be defended, but Zhangjiakou can't be defended?

The reason is very simple, the naturalized city of Lantian County has a ruling foundation, what is the ruling foundation, that is, the 180,000 Lantian immigrants in the past, this is the ruling foundation.

There these people support the Lantian regime 100%, so the Lantian regime only needs to deal with foreign enemies, which is relatively safer, but what about Zhangjiakou?

The tenant farmers here are not Lantian people, and this place used to be ruled by unscrupulous merchants, don't expect to be more simple than the folk customs, if Li Chaosheng wants to occupy this place, the price to pay is probably huge, if Zhangjiakou is placed on the edge of Lantian, Li Chaosheng will rule easily, but there is half of Shaanxi and most of Shanxi, and the gain of wanting to rule is not worth the loss.

Therefore, the policy of the Lantian Army here is not to rule, but to leave with one vote, and by the way, to plant a seed for himself to rule here in the future, this is the purpose of Li Chaosheng's trip, and for this purpose, Li Chaosheng's officials have to do two things.

The first is to take away as much as you can, what can you take away? Gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, Lantian can all be taken away.

Second, divide what you can't take away.

What not to take away?

Land, houses, fixed assets, and some food.

So after Wang Guixiang scavenged all the gold and silver, Zhao's shopkeeper summoned all the Zhangjiakou tenants at the gate of the Fan family's compound, of course, they must not be able to stand, just send a representative from each household, even so, the whole square was also standing in a crowd of people.

At this time, Zhao's shopkeeper was doing one thing, that is, dividing land and grain.

"Folks, hello everyone, we are officials in Lantian County, everyone should know me, my surname is Zhao, everyone who knows me calls me Zhao Shopkeeper, call everyone here today, nothing else, just one thing, divide the land, divide the property, and divide the grain."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, there are still such good things in this world, and there are also land, real estate, and food, isn't this pie in the sky?

Zhao shopkeeper said: "Everyone, don't say anything else, everyone below lines up to our staff to register in the village, each family is divided into five acres of land, and those who live in the city are divided into a house, and then everyone can also receive six catties of food, and the big guy will receive it." ”

Hearing this, the tenant farmers' eyes lit up, but they were very cautious, not quite believing that they could really get the grain and land, but there was never a shortage of people in the world who were the first to eat crabs, and there were always people who came to try it, and then they were pleasantly surprised to find that they really received the title deed and grain, and more and more people received the land and grain.

Immediately after the scene gradually got out of control, all the people who were skeptical just now dispelled their thoughts, looking at the land deed and grain in their hands, someone was moved and shouted, "Good people in Lantian County." ”

One person shouted that Lantian was good, and more and more people shouted that Lantian County was good, and slowly the whole square was praising Lantian with the voice, listening to these voices, Zhao Shopkeeper looked at Wang Guixiang and said: "Brigade Commander Wang, let's leave today?" ”

Wang Guixiang said: "Well, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Zhangjiakou can't hide the Tartars, now is not the time for us to fight with the Tartars, we will go out of the city in a while, our department will cover you to the vicinity of Wutai Mountain, and the army of Li Chaolong should receive you, and the money can be transported to Lantian safely." ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao nodded and said, "In this way, it is all up to Brigade Commander Wang's arrangement." ”

Wang Guixiang said: "Well, you go back and pack up now, I found a lot of carriages in these merchants' houses, and I have already asked people to put the gold and silver on the carts, and we will set off in half an hour." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao heard this and said, "Okay, I'll go back and clean up a little, and I'll see you at the city gate in a while." ”

After saying this, the two separated, and at this time, Zhang Min, the deputy of the shopkeeper Zhao, came over and said, "The shopkeeper, these lands and houses have been divided among these tenants." ”

"yes."

Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Zhang Min and said, "The county lord ordered it." ”

"Shopkeeper, I don't understand, why does the county give the land to these tenant farmers, even if they distribute it to them, they can't take it, and this house, in the end, it will be robbed by the Tartars, or the government, or even the nearby big families, in the end these tenant farmers are still busy in vain, if you want me to say that it is better to burn down this naturalization city, so that these forces have nothing to worry about."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Zhang Min and said with a smile: "Can your wisdom be compared with the county honor?" I ask you if these things are given to the tenant farmers, will the tenant farmers be grateful to our Lantian County. ”

"Yes, but Zhangjiakou is too far away from us, and we can't rule here?"

Zhang Min looked at the shopkeeper Zhao, and the shopkeeper Zhao smiled and said: "This is where the county is powerful, people are not there, but they can first show kindness to the local area, collect people's hearts, and accept people's hearts, sooner or later, this land is our county's respect." ”

"I don't understand."

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled: "It's really stupid, just like you said, these lands are distributed to tenant farmers, and these tenant farmers will not be able to keep them, why do you say these tenant farmers can't keep their land?" ”

Zhang Min thought for a while and said, "The enemy is too strong, and they are afraid, so they have to hand over the land." ”

"That's right, I'm afraid, then you say I'm afraid of what's inside?"

Shopkeeper Zhao followed the temptation, Zhang Min said: "Fear? Afraid? Panic? ”

Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head and said: "I didn't get to the point, I'm afraid that there is anger in it, we just want to stimulate this anger, the county has to say that this plan is really a stroke of genius, with a batch of resources that we can't get at all, first favor Zhangjiakou tenant farmers, and then these tenant farmers will be stripped back by other forces again because of their own strength, and the real estate will be taken away, so that they will become tenant farmers again." ”

"So Zhangjiakou tenant farmers must hate these forces to death, and these forces are the future of our unification of Zhangjiakou resistance, and when our army comes in the future, the tenant farmers hear that the Lantian army is coming, the effect of our grace will come out, the tenant farmers must welcome the road, and these local forces want to block, we just need to shout: the Lantian army is here to call the shots for the tenant farmers, everyone together to defeat the bad guys, get back what belongs to us, so that we don't need our army to do anything, the tenant farmers can twist the guys who block our army into ashes, That's why we give things to tenant farmers. ”

"High!"

Zhang Min's eyes widened when he heard this, and he gave a thumbs up: "The county is really high, I didn't expect that a simple move would bring in the hearts of the entire Zhangjiakou tenant farmers, and I can't do it." ”

"Hehe~"

Listening to Zhang Min's words, Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help laughing, Zhang Min looked at Shopkeeper Zhao, Shopkeeper Zhao said: "Zhang Min, you guy can speak in addition to force, who can you compare to in your brain, our class, Lantian Academy graduates, you are the first in the exam, the tenth in martial arts, if I don't need one who can fight, you should still be the governor of Lantian County now, just want my brain to compare with the county, don't you think it's ridiculous?" ”

Zhang Min heard this and said: "You are very annoying, don't you just say it?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhao said: "You have the ability to tell other academy students what you want to say, so that you don't get laughed at by others." ”

Zhang Min said with a bitter face when he heard this: "That's it, you will laugh at me every day, I'll go and clean up my things." ”

……

Half an hour later, the army left Zhangjiakou, accompanied by more than 100 secret spies, as well as fifty or sixty Zhangjiakou tenant farmers, all of whom wanted to follow the army to Lantian to live a good life, among which Zhao Er took the lead.

At the same time, a piece of information was sent to the city of naturalization.

"Commander, Wang Guixiang telegram."

Li Chaosheng was watching the situation of the enemy and us in front of the sand table at this time, and in the center of the chessboard was a boxy city, which said Naturalization City, and there was a row of camp tents in the upper left corner of Naturalization City, where was the military camp of the Tartars.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, Li Chaosheng looked at it seriously, constantly looking for flaws in his mind, to see if he could find flaws in the sand table, so as to strengthen the defense of Guihua City again, and find his own shortcomings by the way.

At this time, Gu Zi ran in and reported immediately.

"Oh, so fast, Nian."

Li Chaosheng's expression was straight, and he looked at Gu Zi and said, Gu Zi listened to this and took the intelligence report: "Army Chang'an, our department was ordered to attack Guihua City, which has been completely completed, and the merchants in the city have been wiped out, and there are almost no fish that have slipped through the net, and our army has collected a large amount of gold and silver in the city, including 3.8 million taels of silver and 100,000 taels of gold, which have been escorted to Lantian at present. ”

Li Chaosheng heard this, although he already had a plan in his heart, but he was still taken aback, three million eight hundred thousand taels of silver, this is not a small amount, you must know that all the silver taxes in Lantian County in a year are only ten million taels of silver, this is still because Lantian has developed commerce and trade, relying on grain, and there are many things that absorb a large part of the gold and silver of the Ming Dynasty to Lantian, but in this Zhangjiakou city, the family property of several merchants has three million and eight hundred thousand, I have to say that these guys are very rich.

Li Chaosheng said: "Yes, the power generation is rewarded, and the silver will be temporarily stored in the fifth treasury after being escorted to Lantian, and a regiment of people will be sent to guard it, no one, no department shall worry about this silver, everything will be made in detail after I will Lantian." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi said, "Yes." ”

"By the way, how is the land in Zhangjiakou divided?"

Hearing this, Gu Zi took out another intelligence report: "This is a message sent by Zhao Ruiguo who is lurking in Zhangjiakou, and the telegram says that it has been distributed." ”

"Zhao Ruiguo?"

Li Chaosheng hesitated a little when he heard this name, and Gu Zi said: "Lantian Academy, the first graduate, after graduation, he was first arranged to serve as the lieutenant chief in Chang'an County, and later was valued by Bai Shoumin. ”

Li Chaosheng patted his head when he heard this: "Oh, I remember, he is a shrewd man, and the affairs of Naturalization City have been done well this time, and he will be rewarded." ”

"Yes."

Gu Zi said immediately, followed by Li Chaosheng and looked at Gu Zi and said, "You go back and send the personnel of the investigation department to investigate the escort personnel this time to see if there is any corruption, and if so, report it immediately." ”

"Ah, military commander, our Lantian Army won't have such a person, right?"

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "I don't want to have it either, but the wealth is moving, 3.8 million taels of silver, which is enough for some people to move their minds." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi sighed and said, "Yes." ”

Lantian County has a total of two sets of investigation teams, one is Bai Shoumin's secret spy department, and the other is the investigation department in charge of Gu Zi, the investigation department is responsible for supervision, an agency of all departments, including the secret spy department, this agency is directly responsible to Li Chaosheng, Gu Zi is the leader, and the members are secret, and no one in Lantian County knows its members except Gu Zi and Li Chaosheng.

And even Gu Zi didn't know all the members, because Gu Zi was only in charge of a part of the personnel of the Investigation Department, and Li Chaosheng was also in charge of some of the members, including everyone including Gu Zi.

It can be said that Lantian's secret service agency has the most secret agents, and is responsible for spying on intelligence in the Ming Dynasty, including engaging in some assassination activities and the like.

In addition to the secret spy department, that is, the investigation department, the investigation department is responsible for supervising officials and managing the internal evaluation of officials, and Li Chaosheng also has a group of secret members of the investigation department in his hands, and these people are responsible for the investigation officials and other personnel of the investigation department, as for whether these secret members supervise them, it is not known.

A lot of things can't be said too clearly, especially the superiors, they must have reservations when they speak, if they are seen through, then the other party will lose their awe, and without awe, this person will easily make mistakes, which will lead to very bad consequences.

Li Chaosheng arranged for Gu Zi to send someone to investigate the escort of the secret spy department and the army, and he came to the sand table again, looked at the direction of the Manchu Qing on the sand table and said with a smile: "Now that the grain road is cut off for you, Dolgon, how long can you support it?" ”

Li Chaosheng said and said to Gu Zi: "Inform Wang Jiayao that from tomorrow, Naturalization City will be under martial law again, and you will not be allowed to leave the city. ”

"Yes."

Gu Zi answered, followed by the hurried away, Li Chaosheng picked up the tea on the table and took a sip and said, "Dolgon, it's time for you to be anxious next." ”

In the Manchu camp area, a horse rushed here quickly, and there was a Han rider sitting immediately, and then he rushed to the Manchu camp like crazy, and the guards of the Manchu camp saw this person and frowned: "Where did the Han people come from, don't die, dare to rush our Qing camp." ”

"What the hell are you doing!"

The guard shouted loudly, this time, the Han people on the horse fell directly from the horse, and the two guards were stunned, am I so powerful, can I scare the enemy general?

But before the guards could speak, the Han rider shouted: "Take me to Prince Heshuorui, Zhang, something happened in Zhangjiakou!" ”
