Bang!Pong!Bang!

Under the night sky, fireworks rose into the air, and the sound of firecrackers kept ringing on the earth.

Several children were holding single firecrackers in their hands, and one sounded from time to time, and the children around them burst into laughter.

"Several teams of war soldiers under the banner of bandits have been arranged, mainly concentrated in Daliang Mountain, and there are several other places, all of which have been on the hills where bandits have ever been there." Yang Yuan said.

The matter of opening big car dealers in various places has been almost done, and the shopkeeper and the staff have arranged it, so Yang Yuan returned to Lingqiu from Northern Zhili.

Liu Heng said: "We need to provide good logistics support. The mountain is not as good as Lingqiu, and there are many inconveniences, so logistics supply is the top priority."

"Don't worry, the boss has set up a special baggage team, which is mainly responsible for delivering food and all other needs to the various hills." Zhao Yutu replied.

Liu Heng also said: "The war team that transformed into bandits cannot stop training. The attendants arranged for the attendants to go to various villages as counselors and cooperate with the chief officer to be responsible for training."

"Yes." Xu Xuewu agreed.

Liu Heng said: "This time Xu Tong was appointed as the governor of Datong, which disrupted our subsequent steps. Although Xu Tong's test before the New Year was resolved by us, we cannot relax our vigilance. After the New Year, he will definitely use other methods to deal with us."

Chen Xunping, who was standing beside him, said: "If you want me to say, just kill Xu Tong, we will be reluctant to do anything. Now even the war teams have to be split and sent to various hills to pretend to be bandits."

The soldiers who were assigned to several hills pretended to be bandits were all from his thousand-person team.

There are three thousand-person teams, one in the iron field, which is usually the iron field guard, and the other is the newly established third-person team. If the personnel are not full, they will mainly escort goods to various grassland units in the future.

Only Chen Xunping's 1,000-man team is temporarily staying in Lingqiu. In addition to part of it staying on Hutouzhai Mountain, there is also a branch as an escort. Now the bandits sent to each mountain are his 1,000-man team soldiers.

"People are easy to kill, but what should I do after I kill them?" Zhao Yutu looked at Chen Xunping.

Chen Xunping said disapprovingly: "If you kill, kill it. There are fewer people who have been killed by our tiger flag in the past two years, so I don't care about one more of him."

"That's different." Zhao Yutu said, "Xu Tong is the governor of Datong. If he was killed in Datong, it would be a big mess. The court would not let it go. At that time, everything our tiger flag does in Lingqiu will not be exposed to the eyes of the court."

Chen Xunping said: "If the court knows it, it is wrong for us to let the people of Lingqiu live a good life."

At this time, Ma Yunjiu continued: "The court does not care whether the people live well, but our Lingqiu has cannon farms, cavalry, muskets and armor. Each of them will make the court taboo. In addition, the relationship between the tiger flag and Xu Tong, in the end, no matter whether Xu Tong was killed or not, the court will not let us go."

"There is nothing to be afraid of." Chen Xunping said, "At worst, we can rebel. Even if we can't defeat Datong Prefecture, there will be no problem in the surrounding counties."

As he finished speaking, the scene calmed down for a moment.

A moment later, Ma Yunjiu said, "If you rebel, the court will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress it. With these thousands of people, it will be difficult to resist the imperial army."

"We can also go to the grassland." Chen Xunping said, "With our relationship with the tiger flag and Tumote, there is no problem with going to the grassland. The court cannot send troops to chase us onto the grassland."

"We can't count on Beilu." Li Shuheng suddenly spoke.

The eyes of several people around him were all looking at him.

Li Shuheng continued: "This time I went to the grassland, what I felt most deeply was that the Beilu looked down on us Han people from the bottom of my heart. The reason why Beilu now has a good relationship with our tiger flag is because we can bring the goods they need. If we don't have these, we may turn against each other immediately. The previous business war with the Fanji Chamber of Commerce is the best example."

Zhao Yutu and others nodded one after another and agreed with his words.

On the grassland, their Tiger Flag and the Fanji Chamber of Commerce had not been dragged down several times, their Tiger Flag would not have burned goods worth more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Chen Xunping said: "If we can't go to the grassland, we can still go to sea. Isn't there a port on Dayuan Island? We can settle in Dayuan Island."

Ma Yunjiu said, "The road from Lingqiu to Tianjin Wei is not close. The imperial court can send large troops to intercept it layer by layer. In the end, even if we arrive at Tianjin Wei, there will be not many people left."

Zhao Yutu on the side also said: "The port of Dayuan Island was handed over to our Tiger Flag by Li Dan. A large part of the reason is that due to the strength of our Tiger Flag, if we lose our foundation in Lingqiu and flee to Dayuan Island, Li Dan may not support us. I'm afraid he will be the first to deal with us."

The relationship between the tiger flag and the Pinghu Li Dan is itself a kind of interest relationship.

After listening to the arguments of several people, Liu Heng smiled and said, "We are not at the end of our lives. It is not that easy for Xu Tong to deal with us."

Yang Yuan said: "Xu Tong began to collect wages from various shops in Datong, saying that it was used to suppress bandits, and posted notices. Now the entire Datong is in panic."

"I think he collects wages not to suppress bandits, but to make money for himself." Zhao Yutu sneered.

Yang Yuan continued: "In addition to collecting wages, the governor's yamen also issued official documents, requiring all prefectures and counties to pay the white list, and to make up for the owed ones, and also added a tax on the suppression of bandits."

"Xu Tong is so greedy, Datong will be messed up sooner or later." Li Shuheng frowned.

Many people owe the white list. It’s not that they don’t want to pay, but that they really can’t afford it. The tax silver on the white list is much more than the yellow list. Moreover, it’s not good to catch up with the weather, and grain production is reduced, so people will naturally owe the tax silver on the white list.

Especially in recent years, there are few good times, and the people owed more white lists. If the people are forced to make up for the white list, many people can only sell their children and women to pay off their debts, and many people will be forced to have no way to survive.

Zhao Yutu said: "When Governor Liu was there, he knew that the people in Datong had a difficult life, and he rarely asked for the dialogue list. Unexpectedly, Xu Tong's idea of ​​playing the white list as soon as he took office was ignored by the people."

Yang Yuan said angrily: "When Xu Tong was in Taiyuan, he did a lot of things that harmed the people. Now that he has arrived in Datong, it has become even more serious."

Everyone said something and said something accusing Xu Tong.

"How is the team training going?" Liu Heng suddenly asked.

Zhao Yutu said: "Mr. Guo has promised us to set up a group training in Lingqiu to prevent bandits."

Liu Heng nodded.

Although the regiment training is not a military force that belongs to the court, it is also a military force that can appear openly with the consent of the government.

With the title of gang training, Liu Heng could openly control a military force.

Li Shuheng, who was standing beside him, said with a smile: "Is it New Year's Eve tonight? Let everyone relax and leave business as tomorrow."

"Okay, listen to Brother Shuheng." Liu Heng said with a smile.

New Year's Eve.
