Shenkeng system

Chapter 188

Zhao Si heard Gao Qiu say that many people here are mixed with bandits, and he began to feel a little apprehensive.After sending Gao Qiu away, Zhao Si asked He Wenyu to generate electricity overnight, and asked the members of the special operations team who had been released to inquire in detail about the distribution of the nearby people and their psychological conditions.The main analysis is to see whether they are more interested in the court or more towards the bandits.

The situation of several groups was quickly summarized in front of Zhao Si.The result is depressing: the bandits here are quite good at doing things. As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat grass around their nests, but the bandits here really don't eat grass around their nests. They never loot the people here.

The way most bandits here do things is: first send out some people, disguise themselves as masons in distant towns, flee from disasters and sell themselves as refugees, etc., and sneak into some rich families as laborers or as slaves to find out their properties. According to the situation and path, they worked out a detailed looting plan and retreat plan, and then released a signal that on a night with high winds, moon, and wind, their kind would appear in this big family as agreed.

These people strictly follow the designated route and routine to rob; after looting property, they will strictly follow the retreat route and quickly flee the scene.They will even pretend, mislead, and plan a lot along the way, without leaving any flaws.

Once they retreated to the Taihang Mountains, they were safe.Because there are many hills and bandits everywhere, the people here will accept the help of bandits in their respective spheres of influence, so they are in cahoots with them.

Even if you know that your wealth was robbed by the bandits here, you can only stare at them and watch them live a fairy-like life in this mountainous area... because the local armed forces can't beat the bandits, how much do you fill in? There are not enough people and horses to feed this bottomless pit.

So once it is determined that it was robbed by the bandits here, it can only be considered unlucky.Of course, the bandits here are just looting property, not killing people and setting fire.Even kidnapping and extortion will not be done.And you won't do things too badly. You only take three thousand from Wan Guan's family wealth, which will keep your capital, and don't kill chickens to get eggs and fish from the river.

This method of keeping the old hens and only taking eggs is very clever. First, it will not anger these rich men too much, and let them make up their minds to get all kinds of forces to suppress the bandits at all costs; Old hen, take this egg today, and take that egg tomorrow, scientific cycle develops, there will always be eggs...

The eggs they took were not eaten alone, but distributed to the people within their sphere of influence. This was one aspect of the people's benefit.The existence of these bandits benefits the common people in many ways.

First of all, they support the people. Although these people are nominally under the jurisdiction of the government, they dare to resist the tax if they pay a little bit of miscellaneous taxes. Therefore, the local government can only coax and get used to the people here, asking them to pay a little food and a little tax. Don't just go up the mountain and become a bandit, and you will already burn incense!

Secondly, because the Taihang Mountains border the Liao Kingdom, the sphere of influence is criss-crossed, and the military strength of the Song Dynasty has always been weaker than that of the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, before these bandits, the people here were bullied by the Khitan people, but since these bandits The bandits, the Khitan people saw their power growing and the Liao Kingdom weakened over the years, so they didn't dare to touch these bandits easily, so they couldn't touch the people here... In this way, indirectly, the bandits But he became the patron saint of the people here...

Based on the above three reasons, the people here are not stupid. If they can turn their hearts to the imperial court, they will see the devil...

No wonder, no wonder, the imperial court can see the bandit power here growing, it turns out that they have no ability to exterminate these bandits at all!Especially in the years of Zhenghe and Xuanhe, the bandits in this area have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and flourished.

After reaching these conclusions, Zhao Si covered his mouth, looked like he was having a toothache, sucked in hissing air, his face was so gloomy that he could wring out water...

"Why is there something else that can be difficult for you, little brother?" Ning Xiaoxiao, who brought a bowl of tea, looked at Zhao Si's ugly face and asked.

I don’t know when this little girl started calling Zhao Si as my little brother.

"Go do your business! Brother, I have too many things to worry about! I told you, but you don't understand! What do you understand, a brat?"

"Hey! Call you little brother, do you think you are very big? You are only sixteen or seventeen years old, I am already a big sister!" Ning Xiaoxiao proudly straightened her chest, and Zhao Si looked at her. Two yuan, I had to laugh.

Although this little girl is a spy, she is extremely cute!Zhao Si had to admit that keeping her for a long time to catch big fish was one aspect, and another aspect was that he really didn't want to hurt her...

However, he is a spy after all, and what should be guarded against is still to be guarded against!This is strictly enforced by everyone!
"Okay, you are not a brat, I am a brat! Are you satisfied now? Okay, whose child is good, let's go play with that child..." Zhao Si laughed and dismissed it. she……

Ning Xiaoxiao pouted her mouth and left angrily!Zhao Si told the second general Heng Ha that he had something to do with the lady, so he just asked them to stay on guard at a distance, and they didn't have to get too close to his tent...

Humph, the second general had a smirk on his face, and Zhiqu walked away!They must have an extremely dirty picture in their hearts...

In fact, Zhao Si and He Wenyu lived in the same camp ever since they left home and arrived at the military camp!Because the matter of the telegraph machine must be kept strictly confidential, He Wenyu has to do the telegraph service in person... If you are not with yourself, it will be very inconvenient to run around...

"Sister, you translated the telegrams sent from everywhere! You also know what the situation is now! Faced with such a situation, what should we do?"

"You shouldn't take this job at all and come out to suppress the bandits! The bandits in the Taihang Mountains are not something that anyone can eat in one bite!"

"This matter is something I have planned for a long time. It is related to a particularly long-term plan. This step must be taken... Now it is not a matter of whether it can be done, but a matter of how to do it!" Zhao Si planned in his heart Of course, the big picture cannot be disclosed to anyone for the time being, but the paving will start now, and if it is not paved now, it may be too late...

"There is no turning back when you open the bow. You are right. If this is the case, then fight! If you want to fight, then break everyone's illusions and make them completely desperate..."
