Six months after the Liangshan bandits were punished in Shuibo.
On the western border of the Song Dynasty, there is no moon tonight, and scattered stars shine, making the land almost as black as ink.
In a large village in Xixia, the sounds of fighting were heard.
"Ah~"
"Grandpa Song, please don't kill my son, we will go with you!"
"Mom~"
Phew~
"kill!"
"Spare your life, spare your life, we are willing to go with you."
Amidst the sounds of fighting and the beating of meat with sticks, more than 200 Xixia people were all controlled by Song soldiers.
These people, who were treated as slaves by Xixia, were being driven out of their houses by Song soldiers with sticks.
Seeing these Xixia people gathered together, a man wearing the armor of a Song Army general took over the statistical data from his subordinates. "This harvest is good. There are more than 230 people, but there are 120 young men and women."
"Da Dutong, do you want to give me the old one~"
One of the chiefs wiped his neck viciously.
boom!
"Oh, please forgive me, everyone, please forgive me!"
Most of them ignored the other party and just hit them hard with a stick.
"You bastard, how many times have I told you that these people are laborers. As long as they are well trained, they can create countless wealth for our Gyeongju Army. Use your brain more!"
Seeing the chief minister nodding with a bruised nose and swollen face, the chief minister dropped the stick.
The general stood at a high place and looked at the frightened Xixia people: "I am Zhang Jun, and I hold the post of general in the Qingzhou Army. I came to you today to give you a way to survive. I... I am taking you back.
The Song Dynasty lived a good life! This... is your blessing, and you will no longer have to suffer from the tyranny of Xixia in the future."
After shouting loudly, Zhang Jun ignored these people's crying.
With a wave of his hand, more than 500 fierce soldiers, carrying elite steel knives, asked the Xixia people, old and weak, to ride on carts and leave Xixia with a small amount of dry food.
Seeing that many Xixia people were unwilling and crying, Zhang Jun looked slightly cold.
The Dutong next to him immediately came out and shouted loudly: "You unruly people, I will set a rule for you! Before arriving at the border of the Song Dynasty, those who fall behind are not as good as those ahead...kill, and those who dare to make noise...kill. When we arrive in Qingzhou,
Pontius can let you live in a warm big house, wear warm clothes, use warm bedding, and have food. You just need to work for us for free! Whoever dares to cry again will be skinned directly!"
Sure enough, after the harsh words were spoken, the weeping Xixia people suddenly did not dare to say a word. Zhang Jun showed a smile on his face and secretly extended his thumb to his deputy.
"Not bad, let's go!"
"promise!"
Two days later~
A group of Xixia Rangers arrived. Looking at the completely desolate village, the commander of the Xixia Rangers had a face as gloomy as ice.
"Report, the entire Li Zheng family is dead, and the soldiers on duty are also dead."
"Where are the people?"
"A radius of three miles,
There are no traces of digging holes, but there are more than a thousand footprints moving towards the south."
"Chase!"
"We only have 200 riders."
The commander's face twisted and changed color, and he continued: "I want to chase him too!"
Many cavalrymen were unable to keep up.
They have carried out such operations many times these days.
A long time ago, they relied on the sharpness of the cavalry and the Iron Buddha to defeat the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers.
But since these people were equipped with new weapons and equipment from the Spring Wind Caravan, their lives have become increasingly difficult.
The battle between the Song Dynasty and Xixia became increasingly difficult.
Fortunately, the Song Dynasty court had no intention of pacifying Xixia, so they had been living a life of survival.
But a few months ago, the initiative of both parties changed.
These Song Dynasty officers didn't know why they were crazy. They sent people into their territory all day long, and then forcibly relocated the Xixia people in one fell swoop.
In the past few months, Xixia has lost as many as 80,000 people.
Xixia also thought about fighting them, but these Song Dynasty officers and soldiers with sharp equipment were really powerful in combat.
The Xixia army was severely beaten.
The military failed, and the people on the border of Xixia were frightened and moved towards the interior.
But these Song people were so bold that they dared to go 150 miles into the hinterland to arrest people.
This is not taking Xixia seriously!
These cavalry marched for several days and finally caught up with the Song army that was escorting the people of Xixia.
They also tried to save the people.
But the young general named Zhang Jun was very powerful, and a team of more than a thousand people easily withstood the opponent's attack.
After a pursuit battle, the Xixia cavalry finally retreated due to failure.
After returning to Gyeongju City with the people from this Xixia village, someone arranged for these captives to receive training and then work.
And he went to the Gyeongju military camp to drink and brag with his new acquaintance Han Shizhong.
At the Gyeongju Military Camp, Master Jung looked at the latest military news.
"So far, our department has arrested 83,504 Xixia people, 47,310 young people can work, can produce 30,000 more cotton-padded clothes every month, and can make 4,700 weapons, but..."
Looking at the good news above, Zhong Shidao stroked his beard with satisfaction.
The plunder of the population and the production of free labor are the tricks Zhong Shidao learned from Shuibo Liangshan.
This coup can curb the population of Xixia to the greatest extent and greatly improve the productivity and combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty.
In the few months since this plan was formulated, the average living standard of Gyeongju people has increased significantly.
The people of the Song Dynasty had to pay a lot of wages, but these foreign captives did not need to pay wages.
These captured people only need to provide food and accommodation to make the other party burst into tears. This is actually a policy that benefits the country and the people.
This kind of policy was an unthinkable plan in the previous Song Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, folk productivity was not enough and the government had no money. Although the Song Dynasty could usher in labor, too much labor would cause local instability.
Since the productivity of the people has been enough, the Song Dynasty has been thinking of ways to make money. Shuibo Liangshan recruited criminals as free workers, which opened the eyes of the senior officials of the Song Dynasty.
Song people have human rights, but sinners don’t have human rights!
That's why Zhongshi Dao turned from defense to offense and took the initiative to plunder the population around Xixia.
In the past few months, their actions have achieved initial results.
While the life happiness of the people on the border has improved, they have also gained great enthusiasm for foreign conquests.
Of course, the same is true for the official side of the Song Dynasty.
The criminals in Shuibo Liangshan worked as free workers, which made a good start, but it also made the Song Dynasty more chaotic.
When Zhong Shidao was at the border, he heard that many local officials forcibly regarded many refugees as criminals and forcibly detained them as workers in order to obtain free labor.
Master Zhong is very disdainful of this practice.
He believes that these officials are typical bullies and shy of the strong.
Only people like him who take advantage of foreigners are real men.
It's a pity that the high officials in the court deceived the officials, who were obsessed with money and money all day long and had no enterprising spirit at all.
The criminals in Liangshan were turned into free labor, which opened the eyes of the officials of the Song Dynasty.
They found the perfect method and figured out how to properly deal with the refugees who had lost their roots due to the increase in civilian productivity.
Force them into factories and turn them into free workers.
This strategy quietly came to fruition in the Song Dynasty.
With the implementation of this strategy, the number of refugees and beggars in the Song Dynasty began to decrease significantly.
The income of local government officials in the Song Dynasty also increased rapidly.
With the establishment of reform-through-labor factories in various places, some deeper conflicts have arisen, and some ruling classes occupying high positions have also set their sights on some civilians who hinder the maximization of their interests.
Worse asset mergers and more chilling sweatshops were rapidly established in the Song Dynasty.
Workers under the capital monopoly market and farmers' economic cycle system under the small-scale peasant economic cycle are changing rapidly.
The economic cycle closed at the level of small farmers is also rapidly collapsing.
The collapse of the small-scale peasant economy also led to the rapid expansion of factories.
Without the restraint of laws, the phenomenon of sheep cannibalizing people and money cannibalizing people was performed all the time in the Song Dynasty.
Dong Guan, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others, who were thinking of ways to make Zhao Ji happy, did not know about the new forces that could subvert the old system, and had already accumulated the anger that could burn the dynasty.
…
Time passes and a year passes quietly.
During the Song Dynasty, in Hengzhou City.
A man in his forties, poorly dressed, and exuding an inexplicable stench was sitting on a human-powered rickshaw similar to the one in the 1930s in the main world.
The man occasionally looked towards the tall city, and a cold look appeared on his face.
Seeing someone approaching, he stood up quickly and said, "Guest, a rickshaw costs two cents per trip. Make sure it's stable and it pulls fast enough."
What we were greeted with was disgust and avoidance from pedestrians.
A colleague laughed and said: "Old Qian, you need to change into clean clothes. Your whole body stinks and the guests won't like it."
The man smiled bitterly and said he had no money.
Seeing that the customer had already left in a clean rickshaw, the man looked annoyed, but he didn't mind in his heart.
Because his goal is not to attract people, but to collect information on the city defense of Hengzhou City.
This man's name is Wang Dazhi, and he is an informant spying on intelligence.
Wang Dazhi originally had a happy family.
A year ago, my mother contracted tuberculosis.
His family was very poor, and because of insufficient funds, he decided to sell his property in an attempt to save his mother.
Over and over again, Wang Dazhi spent more than two hundred taels of silver.
I couldn't save my life, so I spent all my money on it.
Both people and money were lost.
The heartbroken Wang Dazhi buried his mother and then worked as a worker in the Zhao family with peace of mind, thinking of living an honest life.
More than ten years ago, Wang Dazhi would not have sold his ancestral land.
But there are many things to make a living in Hengzhou.
To make a living, he worked in various factories established by the Zhao family.
More than ten years ago, the Zhao family factory had only a hundred people. It was not large in scale. It was just a descendant of the collateral line of the official family of the Song Dynasty today, and did not even have the title of royal relative!
What the Zhao family relies on is intelligence.
Relying on the industrial equipment provided by the Dongfeng Caravan, they have grown bigger and stronger in recent years, with the number of workers reaching more than 10,000.
The Zhao family has many factories, engaged in light industry, textiles, sericulture, and planting.
After his mother died, Wang Dazhi and his wife chose to work in the Zhao family for the rest of their lives.
Although the salary is tight, it can support a family of five.
The accident happened a few months ago.
His wife suddenly received some strange news.
Wang Dazhi's wife worked in Zhao's factory and saw Dr. Pan Zhongzhong when she was delivering goods.
When his wife, who wanted to inquire about the treatment of an injured child, went to the doctor, she overheard shocking news.
Doctor Pan Zhong, who once treated his mother, was actually discussing with the Zhao family how to use medicine to harm people and how to make money and kill people.
The wife left the Zhao family in a hurry and informed Wang Dazhi of the news.
These words aroused Wang Dazhi's suspicion.
Why did Wang Dazhi spend money to save his mother from tuberculosis?
This disease was originally a terminal illness in ancient times.
In recent years, it has been spread in Hengzhou that an overseas miracle drug called penicillin can cure this disease.
Although penicillin has a probability of failure, its success rate is high.
Wang Dazhi heard from others that this magical medicine could save people.
He also saw his mother gradually getting better after being injected with the miracle drug penicillin.
Unfortunately, my mother suddenly became seriously ill in the later period, her illness relapsed and she died just like that.
The news that his wife inadvertently inquired about naturally aroused Wang Dazhi's suspicion.
Pan Zhong, one of the doctors, was the son-in-law of the Zhao family.
Although the doctor has good medical skills, he has a scandal of love affairs and is very greedy for money.
The doctor's reputation is not very good throughout the country.
This guy really has the foundation to cooperate with the Zhao family to seek wealth and murder.
Over the years, in order to expand their business, the Zhao family has acquired a large amount of land to grow silkworms and build factories.
Wang Dazhi's family has twenty acres of irrigated farmland, which happens to be at the location planned for the Zhao family's mulberry field.
A few years ago, the Zhao family contacted Wang Dazhi and tried to purchase these 20 acres of land, but was rejected by Wang Dazhi's mother.
The motive is there, the chain of interests is there, and the motive for committing the crime is naturally there.
Wang Dazhi secretly inquired for several days and confirmed that the Zhao family and the doctor were repeating their old tricks to seize other people's property.
He was so angry that he arranged the funeral arrangements for his wife and sons before preparing to take revenge.
Relying on his Kung Fu skills, he captured Pan Zhong, a gangster, at night and interrogated him.
The doctor, who burst into tears and cried bitterly, told what he had done: "The Zhao family did arrange for me to murder your mother, but I couldn't help it. I have an old man above me and a young man below me, so I dare not disobey...
Da Zhi, the Zhao family has a great career in Hengzhou. Not only does it have a close relationship with the magistrate, but it also has a relationship with the royal family. It provides more than 100,000 taels of filial piety to local officials and the royal family every year. The person who killed your mother was the head of the Zhao family.
You have to give orders, you can’t touch the other party!”
Wang Dazhi sounded reasonable, nodded and asked: "If we can't get rid of the Zhao family, we have to get rid of Zhizhou, so who is the enemy of Hengzhou Zhizhou?"
"It's Sun Miao in Qingzhou!"
Wang Dazhi was overjoyed: "If you want to survive, uukanshu www.uukanshu.com just do as I say!"
He first asked the doctor to write a confession in blood, pretending that he would not kill him if he confessed.
After the doctor was beaten, he cried and wrote a bloody confession.
Then, Wang Dazhi killed the doctor directly, and then asked his wife and children to bring a letter in blood to complain to the enemy in Zhizhou.
And he was preparing to try to assassinate the head of the Zhao family.
That night, he sneaked into the Zhao family compound and prepared to kill the culprit.
Unfortunately, there are many masters in the Zhao family, but within a few rounds, Wang Dazhi, who is like a peasant, was controlled.
Wang Dazhi thought his life would end, and when he was suffering the pain of being lynched, screams were heard outside the Zhao family's private cell.
Then, more than a dozen men in black descended from the sky and killed direct blood relatives of the Zhao family!
They also left a sign saying Fang La and Chen Daitian punished evil.
When leaving, I saw Wang Dazhi covered in blood in the private cell.
"Who are you? Why did you commit the crime?"
Wang Dazhi quickly told his story.
"Then you are innocent. We are Fangla's team for punishing evil and promoting good. You can join our team."
"Are you really Fang La's team to punish evil and promote good?"
"It can't be true or false! Do you want to join?"
