After saying the three reasons, Yang Kai twisted his neck slightly, looked at everyone present, and when facing the old Huihui, he sat upright and waited for the other party's reaction.

Old Hui was silent, and after thinking about it carefully, he very much agreed with Yang Kai's idea, just because the other people who were sitting at the banquet were also silent.

Zhong Jiaxian couldn't agree with Yang Kai's high-spirited speech as a junior, and even felt that with his seniority, he shouldn't have made such a statement.

As the new chief manager, he is not Gao Yingxiang after all, and before his position is completely tightened, he needs to take into account everyone's feelings, which is the case in Yuncheng, and the same is true now.

In the final analysis, the peasant class is mostly laborers and exploited, and at the same time private owners and small producers. The duality of this economic status determines that while they have the main aspect of resistance and revolution, they also have negative attributes such as dispersion, conservatism, and narrow-mindedness, which are reflected in the current situation, which is manifested in the characteristics of fighting their own battles, not being able to cooperate closely with each other, and even being suspicious of each other and tilting against each other.

Lao Hui Hui has the mind and idea of uniting the Hui and Han ethnic groups to fight, which is not conducive to unity and even has risks, and he does not want to do it lightly.

Most of the families here came from all over the world, and in addition, they were afraid of being beaten by the officials and troops in the past, so they did not have a strong sense of concept of territory, and most of their thoughts were to avoid reality and make up for nothing, relying on the mobile circulation of peasants to fight, avoid heavy casualties, and take advantage of the moment, so they naturally lacked political foresight.

Moreover, even Gao Yingen did not recognize the meaning of Yang Kai's words, but his face darkened, but Liang Guang stood up and said "reasonable", but the helpless person spoke lightly, like a drop in the ocean, and he couldn't turn over any wind and waves.

Lao Huihui always paid attention to the clever changes in the situation, and in the end, he did not express his attitude at all, turned to the next topic, and said: "General Yang's insight is really unique, but this matter has to be discussed in the long run, now that the food has been served, all the families will have food first, just rest for a few days, as for the battle, wait for the family to discuss it, and then make arrangements." ”

Liang Ce was rejected by silence, Yang Kai's face remained unchanged, with the experience of Yun Chengzhong, before he said this, he had already been mentally prepared, and after feeling the unfriendly gaze of the people, he did not say anything more with great interest.

Slowly picked up the rice bowl, and in the midst of everyone's laughter, without saying a word, he already had a different idea in his heart.

At the end of the banquet, Gao Yingen originally asked Yang Kai to stay, and scolded him lightly, but Yang Kai was one step ahead of him, and took the two women who were rewarded by the plates, and left on the grounds that they were not strong enough to drink.

Since the ways are different, then they do not conspire with each other. Yang Kai didn't think that he had the ability to educate the world, what he relied on was nothing more than the faint advantage of having a foresight for the direction of history as a latecomer.

If he can't even take advantage of such a slight advantage, but is pushed forward in accordance with the trend of history, he doesn't think that he can end up much better than Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others.

Back in the school mansion, the two maidservants brought back were arranged to go to the coercion camp, Yang Kai called the two of them, Shang Yi and Yin Zuochan, and asked them about the statistics of the household registration in the city and the clan house.

There is no need to dig thin, and the report is: "According to the statistics of the thousands of households and the records sent back by the head of the house, it is concluded that in the city of Runing Mansion, there are a total of 11,314 households, with a population of more than 46,000 people, and the number of strong men is estimated in proportion, the number is less than 10,000. ”

After a pause, he said again: "Among them, the wealthy clans, three hundred, almost control eighty percent of the wealth of the residents in the city, and the families of ordinary homeless people in the market account for less than two percent. ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the class stratification was like this, and the fields, grain, and wealth were all in the hands of the clan family, and this was the case everywhere.

"On the day of entering the city, how much did the rest of the families plunder?"

"I didn't calculate, after entering the city, the head of the house ordered me to rest in the school field, but the eastern area of the city was occupied by our army first, and there were soldiers along the street to guard the crossings, and I didn't dare to move if I wanted to come to other houses."

After entering the city, it was indeed Yang Kai's idea to choose the first choice of Fu General, but what he wanted to do was delayed a lot by Lao Hui's edict.

Yan Hou was careful, remembering what Yang Kai had explained before leaving, and he also knew the pain of being strangled by the grain road, even if they couldn't plunder the city at the first time, they didn't want to plunder the city-state they had worked so hard to be plundered, so he asked for someone to take turns to change the guard to guard the main streets of the East City, and this request was also agreed by Yang Kai.

"Is there a granary in the East City?"

"Runing is rich compared to the city that our army has passed before. Since the self-righteous army entered Henan, it has mostly circulated in the northwest and east three directions, Runing has not been affected by too many wars over the years, especially the large households in the city have added warehouses to fill, and there is also a granary, the detailed number is too late to count, estimate its approximately, and it is not a problem for our army to use it for two months.

In addition, the light plundering of our army's garrison in the city has also put pressure on many large households, and twelve families have already offered 1,000 taels of gold and silver and 300 quintals of grain for peace.

On the defeated army defending the city, 1,200 pieces of armor and weapons were usable, and there were many weapons for defending the city, and 130 pieces of firearms that had not been damaged, but unfortunately there was not much gunpowder left. ”

These numbers are not satisfactory for such a large city. However, after this explanation, Yang Kai also had a general understanding of the things in the city.

Since the situation is still stable, there is also time to arrange it for them slowly, Yang Kai decided about this matter, and said: "Thanks to the hard work of the chief merchant for several days, in the evening, our army set up a banquet, and the chief steward of Dingjing had a few glasses of wine. ”

Discussing the voice softly, seeing that Yang Kai did not ask in detail, he owed a debt and returned to the side seat.

Yin Zuochan just picked it up and said, "With this resource, I don't know what the next step is to be in charge?" Should they be handed over together, or should they be kept for their own use? ”

"What do you think, sir?" Yang Kai invited the two of them in, and he kept a proper sitting posture.

In the banquet of King Chong's Mansion, he did have another plan, but for specific actions and arrangements, he was also willing to listen to Yin Zuochan's thoughts, so that he could pick up and fill in the gaps.

Yin Zuochan seemed to be waiting for Yang Kai's words, he listened and flicked his white sleeves, and said with a radiant expression: "In my opinion, it should be used for oneself, and there are three reasons for this." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"The little monk entered the camp of the family, and he calculated tightly, but for three days, but he has seen that the concept of governing the army is not the same as the palm of the plate.

The so-called when different do not seek each other, different aspirations do not make friends. The leader lacks such foresight and strategy as the master, and the master will tolerate and be at his mercy everywhere, which will only lose his courage in vain, and it is not conducive to the majestic and majestic image of the leader in our army.

The siege of the city and the collection of goods and distribution to the people, our army must not agree in their hearts, so the armament resources should be used for their own purposes, strengthen our generals, and stabilize the hearts of our army.

The worst plan is to split from the family and become an independent army, even so, what is the boss afraid of? As a leader, there is no shortage of courage to overturn and start over. ”

He easily understood Yang Kai's thoughts and said what he was thinking about right now. However, Yang Kai's deployment of their new camp had already begun since the Yuncheng rally.

During this period of time, whether it was on the way to Caicheng, he and the others deliberately showed the might of their army in front of them, or he was eager to lead the army alone twice to break through the city gate and enter the city easily, he was showing his ability to inform everyone of the fact that his ability was only above the Zhongdou Star.

After these actions, the most direct feedback was that he had gained Liang Guang's trust, and it was clear from his daring to stand up and speak for him in the banquet that as long as he flicked his fingers one more time, he Yang Kaibu could secretly double his strength.

Seeing that his plan had achieved initial results, as long as he was willing to put a certain amount of thought into it, he was confident that he would take down the entire Xinchuang, at such a time, if he wanted to give up such a good opportunity and break it and then stand up, Yang Kai naturally couldn't make up his mind easily.

"The general intention must be clear to the master, if the master can't agree, the little monk still has a plan." Now that he understood Yang Kai's current situation, his reaction was also expected by Yin Zuochan, and he was still calm and not afraid, and said.

"As soon as the city of Runing Mansion is broken, King Chong has become a prisoner under the ranks, and the crime of trapping the feudal domain is not light, which will tire the surrounding governors and governors to bear the charges for no reason, and the court will exert heavy pressure, and the officials and soldiers are about to suppress them, such crimes are being committed by our army, and there is no way to avoid them.

What he said made sense, Yang Kai asked him to say more.

Yin Zuochan glanced at his side and continued: "Since the head of the family has the intention to hold the plate and break into the camp, it should be as soon as possible.

The new Fourth Division, Liang Guangbu has formed a relationship with the master, and Deng Fangbu also intends to approach our army, but now only Tan Si has a gap with our army.

But according to the little monk's opinion, such a resentful person who is not virtuous, there is no profit or damage in our army, so, the three parties are established, and the master should choose a good opportunity to do a glass of wine to release the military power. If the head of the family is worried about infamy, it is a big deal to give him a knighthood afterwards, and respect him as the head in name to the outside world. ”

He said these words so bluntly by name, just because he wanted to get a positive answer from Yang Kai. This can also allow the addition of oneself to continue talking to death.

"Please sir another good opportunity."

Yang Kai was still not in a hurry to express his attitude, since Yin Zuochan had already thought of this, he also wanted to continue to listen to the other party's plans for the future.

This kind of questioning, Yin Zuochan can already be regarded as recognition. The greatest sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in the heart of the person who makes the plan is nothing more than a word, and the superior person will take a plan.

So he became more passionate, stood up and said, "Xinyang." Xinyang is a place of God-given opportunities. Since the sin of trapping the feudal domain, you can't go to the south of Zhili, Fengyang Zhufu, north of Shandong, east of Henan, south of the Yangtze River, easy to be besieged.

At present, Runing is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the friendly army, which can temporarily stabilize the rear for our army, and it is most suitable for our army to go south through Xinyang and enter the land of Huguang. I heard that Qianhu was once a clan in the lake, and he should be very familiar with this place, and he was in charge of the three armies through Xinyang, so as to enter the lake to solve the difficulty of our army's food and grass, and the urgency of the equipment, which can be used as afterthought. ”
