Zhangjiakou was captured, but it was impossible to hold it. After all, this was the site of the Fourth War. Not to mention that Dorgon was stationed hundreds of miles away. It only took a day to come to rescue. Even the Ming Dynasty would not allow Zhangjiakou.

In Lan Tian's hands, he might even stumble secretly.

Zhangjiakou is actually an enclave for Lantian, and it is an enclave with no basis for governance.

Some people will say, no, Guihua City is also an enclave. Why can it be defended, but Zhangjiakou cannot?

The reason is very simple. Lantian County, Guihua City, has a basis for governance. What is the basis for governance? It is the 180,000 people who immigrated to Lantian. This is the basis for governance.

The people there 100% support the Lantian regime, so the Lantian regime only needs to deal with foreign enemies. This is relatively safer, but what about Zhangjiakou?

The tenant farmers here are definitely not from Lantian, and this place used to be ruled by unscrupulous businessmen. Don’t expect the people to be very simple. If Li Chaosheng wants to occupy this place, the price he will pay will probably be huge. If Zhangjiakou is placed in Lantian

On the other side, Li Chaosheng easily took over the rule, but there was half of Shaanxi and most of Shanxi in between, so the gains outweighed the losses in trying to rule.

Therefore, the policy of the Lantian Army here is not to rule, but to do one vote and leave, and by the way lay a seed for his future rule here. 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 possible. What can be taken away? Gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and Lantian can all be taken away.

Second, divide what cannot be taken away on the spot.

What can't you take with you?

Land, houses, fixed assets, and some food.

So after Wang Guixiang collected all the gold and silver, shopkeeper Zhao summoned all the Zhangjiakou tenants at the entrance of the Fan family compound. Of course, if they all came, they would not be able to stand. It would be enough for each household to have a representative. Even so, the entire square would not be able to stand.

There were so many people standing there.

At this time, shopkeeper Zhao was doing one thing, which was to divide the land and grain.

"Hello, folks. We are officials from Lantian County. You should know me. My surname is Zhao. Those who know me call me Shopkeeper Zhao. I have called you here today. Nothing more.

One thing is to divide fields, property and grain."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. There are such good things in the world, and there are people who share land, real estate, and food. Isn't this pie in the sky?

Shopkeeper Zhao said: "Everyone, not much else to say. Everyone below will line up in villages to register with our staff. Each household will be allocated five acres of land. Those who live in the city will be allocated a house, and then each household will be allocated five acres of land."

Individuals can still receive six kilograms of grain, so everyone should go and get it."

After hearing this, the tenant farmers' eyes lit up, but they were very cautious and didn't really believe that they could actually receive food and land. However, there is no shortage of people in the world who are the first to eat crabs. There are always people who will give it a try.

Then they were pleasantly surprised to find that they had actually received land deeds and food, and more and more people had received land and food.

As the scene gradually got out of control, all those who had been doubtful gave up their thoughts. Looking at the land deeds and food in their hands, some people were moved and shouted, "Lantian County is a good person."

When one person calls Lantian good, more and more people call Lantian County good. Slowly, the whole square is filled with voices praising Lantian. Listening to these voices, Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Wang Guixiang and said: "Brade Commander Wang, what are we doing today?"

Just leave?"

Wang Guixiang said: "Well, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. The Tatars cannot hide what happened in Zhangjiakou. Now is not the time for us to fight with the Tatars. We will leave the city soon. Our troops will cover you to the vicinity of Wutai Mountain. Commander Li Chaolong's army should pick you up."

Now, the money can be safely transported to Lantian."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao nodded and said, "In that case, it's all up to Brigadier Wang's arrangement."

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

After hearing this, shopkeeper Zhao said: "Okay, I'll go back and tidy up a little. See you at the city gate later."

After saying this, the two separated. At this time, shopkeeper Zhao's deputy, Zhang Min, came over and said, "Shopkeeper, these lands and houses have been divided among these tenants."

"yes."

Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Zhang Mind and said: "This is what the county magistrate ordered."

"Shopkeeper, I don't understand why the county magistrate wants to allocate the land to these tenants. Even if it is allocated to them, they can't take it back. And this house will eventually be destroyed by the Tatars, or the government, or even

The nearby big families took it away, but in the end, these tenant farmers' work was in vain. I would say it would be better to burn down Guihua City so that these forces have nothing to worry about."

After hearing this, shopkeeper Zhao looked at Zhang Min and said with a smile: "Can your wisdom be compared with that of the county magistrate? I ask you if these things are given to the tenants, will the tenants be grateful to our Lantian County?"

"It's necessary, but Zhangjiakou is too far away from us, so we can't rule here?"

Zhang Min looked at Shopkeeper Zhao, who smiled and said: "This is the great thing about the County Lord. He can show kindness to the local people first and win people's hearts when he is not around. Sooner or later, this land will belong to our County Lord.

"

"not understand."

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and said: "You are really stupid. Just like you said, these land is allocated to tenants, and these tenants will not be able to keep it. Why do you think these tenants can't keep their land?"

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

"Yes, you're afraid. Then what are you afraid of inside?"

Shopkeeper Zhao was good at tempting, Zhang Min said: "Are you afraid? Panic? Panic?"

Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head and said: "I didn't even get to the point. I'm afraid there is anger in it. We just want to arouse this anger. I have to say that the county master's plan is really a stroke of genius. It uses a batch of resources that we can't get at all.

First, we should be kind to the tenant farmers in Zhangjiakou, and then because of their lack of strength, these tenant farmers will have their land taken back and their properties taken away by other forces again, turning them into tenant farmers again."

"In this way, the tenant farmers in Zhangjiakou must hate these forces to death, and these forces will be the resistance to our unification of Zhangjiakou in the future. When our army comes in the future, and the tenant farmers hear that it is the Lantian Army, the effect of our kindness will be seen.

The tenant farmers will definitely welcome us, but if these local forces want to stop them, we only need to shout: The Lantian Army is here to make decisions for the tenant farmers. Let's defeat the bad guys together and get back what belongs to us. In this way, our army will not need to take action, and the tenant farmers will

Being able to turn anyone who blocks our army into ashes is why we distribute things to our tenant farmers."

"High!"

After hearing this, Zhang Min's eyes widened and he gave a thumbs up: "The county magistrate is really high. I didn't expect that with a simple move, he could win over the hearts of all the tenant farmers in Zhangjiakou. I can't even compare."

"Haha~"

After listening to Zhang Min's words, Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help laughing. Zhang Min looked at Shopkeeper Zhao, and Shopkeeper Zhao said: "Zhang Min, except for your strength, who can you compare to in terms of brains?

, a graduate of Lantian Academy, you ranked last in the exam and tenth in the martial arts class. If I hadn't needed someone who could fight, you would still be in charge of Lantian County. Just because I have such brainpower and want to compare with the county magistrate, you

Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

After hearing this, Zhang Min said: "You are very annoying, didn't I just say it?"

Shopkeeper Zhao said: "You have the ability to tell the other academy students what you want to say, and you won't be laughed at by others."

Zhang Min said with a bitter face: "That's all, you will laugh at me every day. I'll go pack my things."

…

Half an hour later, the army left Zhangjiakou, accompanied by more than a hundred spies and fifty or sixty Zhangjiakou tenant farmers. These people all wanted to follow the army to Lantian to live a good life, and the leader among them was Zhao Er.

At the same time, a piece of information was sent to Guihua City.

"Commander, telegram from Wang Guixiang."

Li Chaosheng was in front of the sand table at this time, looking at the situation between the enemy and ourselves. In the center of the chessboard was a square city with Guihua City written on it. There was a row of tents in the upper left corner of Guihua City, which belonged to the Tatars.

military camp.

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

At this time Guzi ran in, stood at attention and reported.

"Oh, so fast, read."

Li Chaosheng's expression became serious, and he looked at Guzi and said. After hearing this, Guzi reported the situation: "Army Commander An, our troops were ordered to attack Guihua City. So far, everything has been completed. All the merchants in the city have been wiped out, and almost no one has slipped through the net."

Fish, 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."

After Li Chaosheng heard this, although he had already made a plan in his mind, he was still surprised. Three million eight hundred thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. You must know that the entire silver tax revenue of Lantian County in a year was only one thousand.

It's only ten thousand taels of silver. This is because Lantian's business is developed. With food and many other things, a large part of the gold and silver of the Ming Dynasty has been absorbed into Lantian. However, in this city, a few merchants have a family property of three million.

Eight hundred thousand, I have to say these guys are extremely rich.

Li Chaosheng said: "Yes, we will give you a reward for generating electricity. In addition, after the silver is escorted to Lantian, it will be temporarily stored in the fifth warehouse. A group of people will be sent to guard it. No one or any department is allowed to worry about this money. I will make detailed arrangements after I return to Lantian."

"

After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "Yes."

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

After hearing this, Guzi took out another intelligence report: "This is a message from Zhao Ruiguo who is lurking in Zhangjiakou. The telegram said that it has been distributed."

"Zhao Ruiguo?"

Li Chaosheng hesitated a little when he heard the name, and Gu Zi said: "The first graduates of Lantian Academy, after graduation, were first arranged to serve as district chiefs in Chang'an County. Later, Bai Shoumin valued them and asked you personally to recruit them, and he was transferred to Shandong as a secretarial officer.

As a spy, he established the Shandong secret spy network, and was later transferred to Zhangjiakou to lurk and became the leader of the Zhangjiakou secret spy network."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng patted his head and said: "Oh, I remember, he is a shrewd man. He did a good job in Guihua City this time. I will be rewarded."

"yes."

Gu Zi said immediately, followed by Li Chaosheng, who looked at Gu Zi and said: "Go back and send personnel from the investigation department to investigate the escort personnel to see if there is any corruption. If so, report it immediately."

"Ah, Commander, our Lantian Army doesn't have such a person, does it?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "I don't want to have it either, but wealth and silk can move people's hearts. Three million eight hundred thousand taels of silver is enough for some people to have some thoughts."

After hearing this, Guzi sighed and said, "Yes."
