Chapter 463 Aftermath

"Can there be another trip?"

"Our turn? What's our turn?"

Shi Qing glanced at Liu Erzu, seeing Liu Erzu's expression was calm, so he said loudly:
"Marshal Liu also said just now that after Marshal Yang died in battle, our Red Coat Army was torn apart, and the surrounding tigers and wolves were staring at us. Even if there was no Guo Ning, there would be other people who did it. Guo Ning is certainly the most powerful guy, but we can see from this court , this person's ambitions are huge, and he is not the same as ordinary Jin Jun."

This is true, the characters in this court book, ordinary soldiers, are all good men, while the high-ranking officials and nobles of Dajin are all greedy for money and afraid of death, with hideous faces, they are simply pointing at the court's nose and scolding.If all the senior officials of Dajin were like Guo Ning, it is estimated that Dajin would die violently on the spot, and Guozuo would not last for an hour.

Peng Yibin said in a deep voice, "It's more than that."

"Oh?"

"Previously, in order to capture Yidu, he used huge iron cannons to blow up Heshi Lie Yawu Pagoda, a famous general in Hebei. As a result, Hebei Xuanfu envoy San Anzhen sent troops to question his crimes, but he also forcefully forced him to retreat."

"Good guy, is it so fierce?"

Although everyone is hostile to Guo Ning, the eyes of the old Jianghu are still there, and they can see things like this accurately.Everyone nods their heads at the moment, saying that this fellow is indeed rebellious and tyrannical.

Shi Qing cleared his throat, and said again: "I have inquired specifically in the past few days. After he took control of Shandong East Road, he did not need officials to govern at all, but completely emptied the original court system and started a new one outside."

Liu Erzu's subordinates gathered around Mount Tai, and the north, east, and south sides were Guo Ning's territory. However, due to the barriers of deep hills and ravines, their grasp of the external situation was not as good as Shiqing's territory in Tengzhou.

At the moment someone asked: "How to start from scratch?"

"Have you heard that Guo Ning used millions of people as shady households, and then set up the law of protecting the army, which was governed by the soldiers of the Dinghai Navy. Therefore, these millions of people are now all dead. It belongs to the court."

Someone was surprised: "What a big handwriting!"

Someone also asked: "What kind of jurisdictional law?"

"I'm not very clear about the specific method, but I found out from a rough inquiry that Guo Ning used military households as the backbone, and officers from top to bottom served as security chiefs and neighbor chiefs respectively. He governed the people just like he governed the army. Military households have the task of taking care of the shady households, and at the same time have the right to receive [-]% of the output of the shady households as the capital for preparing weapons and military uniforms. In addition, the common people have to pay [-]% of grain to the Shandong military government every spring and autumn harvest; If there are other military supplies and taxes, the two rations can also be deducted and exempted."

"[-]%? [-]%? Together, [-]% is scary! In Daikin's system, the summer and autumn taxes are combined, and each mu is only five liters and three taxes?"

"The shady households in Dinghai have to grant [-] acres of land to each household. Considering the difference between water, drought, fertility, and barrenness, and then making additional adjustments. Guo Ning made such arrangements in the three states of Denglai, and the people in the three states were all happy. The people on Shandong East Road are just average now. There is a family property of [-] mu of land, and it is nothing to be afraid of collecting [-]% of the food. Besides, apart from the [-]% regular tax, the military government does not set up material money, levy taxes, and the like. There is no foot fee, and it is discounted. There is no township tycoon, and the subordinates deceive the superiors and the inferiors during the period, and the friends are aggressive."

"In that case, the common people will earn a lot and can have enough to eat." Someone suddenly realized.

Some people also resentfully said: "Didn't you hear that the township lords and subordinates all over the country were killed, it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!"

There was no one around to respond.

The soldiers of the Red Coat Army have experienced ups and downs in the past year, and they have seen a lot of corpses and blood.

What's more, most of Liu Erzu's subordinates were born in poverty, which is different from Yang An'er's subordinates who gathered together many powerful men.From their point of view, these days, it's either the nobles' corpses or the common people's corpses, so why be so pretentious?
Seeing everyone ignoring them, the man poked his neck and said, "Even if you go to the township lords and subordinates, don't those navy men bully the people? Those warriors are all like wolves and tigers, and they are all from Hebei. Is there no village friendship to speak of?"

Everyone looked at Shi Qing again.

"It's inevitable that the court soldiers will act like this. I really don't know if these military households who have appointed the navy will be better, let alone if they will use their hands to bully the people in the future. However, in recent days, I have heard that the newly established In the military camp, there are reports that Dinghai soldiers were beheaded for disobeying the military regulations. At least from the present, the control of Dinghai is very strict. And..."

"And what?"

"Moreover, the key is not with those people at all!"

Shi Qing sneered again and again: "In these days, unarmed people are like ants. He is a hero if he has soldiers in his hands, and he is a hero if he has soldiers in his hands who dare to fight! Think about it, now tens of thousands of soldiers are ordered in the navy. With Guo Ning's bestowal, everyone has become a superior person. If you are a soldier of the Ding Navy, then Guo Ning will pass on the word that whoever dares to touch our shady family, what will you do?"

Everyone was silent for a while.

It was Peng Yibin who made a haha: "That's getting too far! Shi Qing, you said just now that it will be our turn to benefit next time. I still want to know where the benefit is and why."

Shi Qing nodded:

"It's true that Guo Ning started from scratch, but he was extremely tolerant to our brothers in the Red Coat Army, and he did not hesitate to confer high officials, important positions, and important powers, such as Binzhou Yinchang, have you heard of it?"

When Shi Qing said this, someone's expression changed.

This old boy Yin Chang, who has been hiding in Binzhou for decades, is like a tortoise that does not come out of its hole. With this move, he has become a military envoy of Xingde Army!And it is a Jiedushi with real power and in charge of soldiers and horses!Such a status is enough to be written on the genealogy and to show off to future generations!
But there were also people with angry faces, and said in a rough voice: "Yin Chang betrayed his comrades to seek his own future, he is not our brother! Don't mention him!"

Shi Qing was not troubled, and changed his tone lightly: "From this situation, it can be seen that Guo Ning controls Shandong and thinks that he is full-fledged, so he no longer hesitates in doing things, and intends to expand his ambitions. This is no different from rebellion, and it will inevitably lead to Great doubts of the imperial court."

"You mean, the court and Guo Ning will have internal strife in the future, and all parties will be overwhelmed. When they fight each other, we just happen to be in the middle of it, and even send troops to profit?"

Shi Qing shook his head, and said: "Earlier, our army was strong, maybe we could still do this. But now..."

He looked around: "Marshal Liu, Brother Hao, and the leaders, how many people are left of your old foundation?"

Everyone looked worried, but Shi Qing continued: "I am in Tengzhou, and I still have [-] soldiers left, but the situation has deteriorated recently, and people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate. Both Xie Zhen and Du Guoen have secretly made peace with Wanyan Heda Contact, accept the talisman letter from Wanyan Heda, sue!"

He suddenly raised his voice: "The situation is very critical! With our little strength, we are still playing around? Making enemies everywhere in vain is courting death! If you want to get benefits, you have to act decisively!"

"I don't understand at all, what to do immediately? What are the benefits?"

"Then Guo Ning has servant San Anzhen in the north, and Wanyan Heda in the west. They are both veteran and famous generals. He is in the middle of the two, and he is not at ease, but it is not difficult to take care of both sides at the same time, so..."

"So what?"

"Although Marshal Yang is gone, Marshal Liu's prestige is still there. Although our Red Coat Army's vitality has been weakened, there are still countless local people who are willing to respond. If the Navy is ordered to donate five hundred knives and guns, twenty iron armors, and five bows every month Ten, three thousand arrows, and thirty horses, we are required to re-raise the banner of the Red Coat Army, control cottages and military settlements in various places along the East and West Roads south of Yanzhou and Jeju, and add a little to the Jin Army on Nanjing Road Chaos... do you want to do it?"

There was an uproar in the hall.

Even though Shi Qing laid the groundwork for a long time, and described Guo Ning's demeanor and strength in detail, some people in the crowd still shouted: "So you voted for Guo Ning! You have also betrayed!"

Someone came up with arms and sleeves, wanting to fight Shi Qing.

Liu Erzu sighed heavily, and shouted loudly: "Stop! Back off!"

The hall immediately returned to silence.

"Did Yin Chang send someone to pass it on?" Liu Erzu stared at Shi Qing and asked in a deep voice.

"Of course." Shi Qing grinned: "Old Yin is a smart man. He is new to Guo Ning, so he must make some contributions. It is only natural that he found me. I know he sent someone to look for him in the Taishan cottage. There are several leaders, but I don't know who they are... Hehe, Marshal Liu, do you know?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall was suddenly weird. Some people obviously put on a furious posture, and some people quietly retreated into the crowd.

"I don't know at all." Liu Erzu said calmly.

Since the failure of the army, people's hearts have been scattered, and the team has become more and more difficult to lead. It is not surprising that such a situation will appear, and if you have to entangle who contacted Guo Ning, it is likely to be a big fire. Start.That would be harmful.

Just now Shi Qing said that in his base area in Tengzhou, two generals, Xi Zhen and Du Guoen, were dealing with the Jin army on Nanjing Road, Shi Qing could only bear with it.The reason is the same.

Liu Erzu maintained a calm demeanor, and said to Shi Qing: "Guo Ning's idea is nothing more than to hope that the rest of our Red Coat Army will not collapse too quickly, and wants us to operate between Dinghai and Nanjing Road Jinjun, and try to block the two This matter itself is not difficult. Adding trouble to the imperial court has been our old profession for decades, and we will continue to do it without Guo Ning's support."

Shi Qing nodded repeatedly.

"However, he wanted us, but he didn't drive us. Therefore, it is not enough to give us armaments. Armaments cannot be eaten or drunk. We are trapped in the mountains. The most important thing is food and medicine. Among them, food and fodder should be at least two times a month. Qianshi."

Shi Qing slapped his chest hard: "Leave it to me..."

"No need."

Liu Erzu turned to Peng Yibin: "Peng Er, go to Jinan Mansion first to meet Yin Chang; then, on my behalf, take a walk to Yidu."

In the silent hall, Peng Yibin stepped out and saluted solemnly: "Okay, I'll go."

Beside Liu Erzu, many leaders of the Red Coat Army showed blank expressions, and some sighed in frustration.

At the same time, it is thousands of miles away from Baihewan Water Village in Culai Mountain.

Zhongdu Daxing Mansion, Imperial City, Da'an Palace.

Several people were also discussing the situation in Shandong, and Wanyan Congjia, the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom, finally lost control of his emotions.

He yelled violently: "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go to your mother!"

Amidst the furious curses, he kicked away the commander Wanyan Qingshan slave of the Advance Attendant Bureau and the Wuwei Army.
