Chapter 399: Combination of kindness and power (Part 2)
Sanli Village is named after it is three miles away from Dai County Station. The place has convenient transportation, flat terrain, and many fertile fields around it. It was once prosperous. Because of this, when the Turks broke into Yanmen and looted Daizhou, this place was almost always looted.
It is for this reason that Ma Zhou placed a considerable number of immigrants in the surrounding area. After all, the surrounding area was too empty.
But today, hundreds of young men gathered, lined up on both sides, shouting and cursing... After all, it was located on the frontier, and what everyone held in their hands were not hoes and sickles, but all kinds of ordnance.
On the contrary, the people who moved from places like Shuozhou and Yunzhou that were involved in the Fourth War were at a greater disadvantage. The weapons they carried had long been confiscated at Yanmen Pass, and all they had were wooden sticks.
As the sound of horse hooves became clearer and clearer, the shouts and curses gradually stopped. Some people were frightened, some were looking forward to it, and some were ready to give it a try.
Hundreds of cavalrymen galloped all the way to the outside of Zhuangzi. Within sight, the horse at the front was extraordinary and the most eye-catching white horse.
He didn't rein in until he was between the two groups.
Li Shan's eyes glanced left and right. Wherever he looked, the places where there were still faint noises immediately became silent.
He looked back at He Lou Shanzhu and Wang Junhao who were following them. They both got off their horses and headed east and west. Several people were recommended from both sides.
On the Li family's side is the patriarch Li He, an old man in his fifties and the father of Li Shan's personal guard Li Sanlang.
The person elected by the relocated people was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a few traces of blood on his face and an angry expression... He Lou Shanzhu told Li Shan in a low voice that this was the father-in-law of the deceased... The deceased was a widow, and her husband
He just died in battle in Mayi.
In fact, it has been ten days since this group of immigrants arrived in Sanli Village. At first, everything was normal. They had been assigned land and houses, and they had all moved into their new houses.
Although the Li clan members were angry and resentful, they did not cause any trouble until a clan member became obsessed with a young widow who was dressed in mourning clothes.
We can't expect everyone to see everything clearly. There are always some people who are stupid, dull, and have no self-awareness... Even if you are interested, even if you are already married and just want to have a concubine, you still have to go through the process. This kind of thing actually comes from relocation.
The people are not opposed to it. Integrating into the local area and marrying are the best choices.
But the idiot raped him directly, and the little widow was a violent person and stabbed the idiot with scissors... and was eventually beaten to death by mistake.
Now the commotion has completely escalated. Both sides refused to give up. The middle-aged man, who first lost his son and then his daughter-in-law was humiliated, raised his voice and actually knocked down the Li family's ancestral home.
Li Shan did not directly ask what happened. He had a question that he still couldn't figure out... Why didn't Ma Zhou know anything about this matter?
Ma Zhou stepped forward to ask with a gloomy face. He had come three times before, and was ignored each time. But this time, Li He did not dare to hide it anymore.
After listening to Ma Zhou Fu'er's narration, Li Shan was relieved. That little widow... turned out to be from Dai County, living in a village not far from Sanli Village.
Two years ago, Yuan Junzhang led the Turkic army to sack Yanmenguang and looted Hedong. The little widow was taken away at that time. She had already been engaged and promised to the Li clan... She was the fool who raped her this time.
Now that the little widow lost her husband, she moved to Dai County with her parents-in-law, and happened to settle in Sanli Village, which led to this incident... This is also the reason why Ma Zhou never knew the inside story.
Li Shan was too lazy to talk nonsense and looked directly at the middle-aged man, "What do you want?"
The middle-aged man knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Please allow Mr. Li Lang to allow the villains to choose a place to live in groups."
"No." Li Shan said in an understatement: "A certain person acted magnanimously, granted land and a house, and was exempted from taxes for three years. This certain person has done his best to benevolent and righteous."
"If we live in groups, if something breaks out, Yanmen Pass will be attacked from both sides, so we must be on guard."
"The King of Huaiyang is stationed in Guoxian, and he has sent three thousand partial troops to station in Daixian. A certain piece of paper can be summoned."
Ignoring the middle-aged man's face that was red with shame and anger, Li Shan turned to look at the middle-aged man beside Li He. This was Li He's younger brother Li Zhang and Li Sanlang's fifth uncle.
"Regardless of what happened back then, if you take a civilian woman as your concubine this time, do you have a document and can you get permission from your elders?"
Li Zhang took a step forward and said proudly: "She is..."
"Then let's say that you have no documents and no permission, so you are robbing civilian women." Li Shan nodded, turned to look at the middle-aged man, "Although you refuse to call yourself Mingfu, you have moved to Dai County.
They are my people."
The middle-aged man was excited, kowtowed and said loudly: "I pay homage to Mingfu and ask Mingfu to make the decision."
Li Shan nodded casually, turned around and said, "Hello, Mr. Lou, would you like to help me?"
He Lou Shanzhu took a step forward and said with a smile: "It's definitely not difficult."
Sun Tzu was directly sent to the Twelve Guards System by Li Shan, and he started at the eighth level, which was almost a step to success. Naturally, He Lou Shanzhu could help as much as he could.
"I remember that there are six or seven villages of the He Lou clan, with more than two hundred people living in separate places. Qi Laosan transferred a batch of red bricks to build a house as soon as possible." Li Shan explained: "As for the new houses in Sanli Village, I will leave them to Li
Family."
Li He and Li Zhang both looked at the opposite side proudly. The middle-aged man suppressed his anger and his body was trembling slightly.
Helou Shanzhu sighed, the Ming government showed favors again and again, showed mercy and even gave in. It was just that if you want to take something, you must give it first, show kindness first, and then resort to thunderbolt methods.
Li Shan turned around and waved, and the indifferent expression on his face suddenly turned soft. A strong young man stepped forward hesitantly. He was Li Sanlang, who was good at riding and shooting. Although he had only been in the Guards for more than a month, he was very impressive.
Wang Junhao, Zhu Shitou and other old men relied on him. In the battle of Yanmen, he followed Wang Junhao into the formation and was unparalleled in his sharpness.
"Su Dingfang conquered Tuyuhun in the west, killed King Tianzhu, captured the Khan alive, defeated more than 10,000 enemy troops with 300 cavalry, and was awarded the title of General of the Left Guard Zhonglang." Li Shan smiled and said: "With a certain letter, Sanlang can go to Chang'an, or
Si Ge, or holding a halberd."
Si Ge is a member of the eighth rank, just like He Lou Xingshu, and Zhiji is a member of the ninth rank, both of which are high-ranking officials.
There was a low noise all around, and no one expected that after the Helou family, the Li family would take the lead... For the Helou family, it was the first step to revitalize the family, but for the Li family,
Almost reaching the sky in one step.
Li He took his youngest son and bowed down in front of the white horse together, thanking him repeatedly... But Li Zhang faintly noticed something, and his legs began to tremble a little.
"Sanlang." Li Shan looked indifferent, "You have been in the Guards for more than a month. Have you ever heard your colleagues mention the war in Shandong last year?"
"I heard that Brother Junhao mentioned it." Li Sanlang glanced at Li Zhang from the corner of his eye and said in unison: "Lang Jun planned a plan to defeat the bandit army and capture Liu Heitao."
"No, that's not the case." Li Shan turned to stare at Li Zhang and said word by word: "Last year in Qinghe County, a certain person beheaded the Cui family of the Qinghe Cui family with his own hands to calm the people and quell the chaos."
Suddenly, a strong east wind blew, blowing the mane of the white horse under Li Shan's crotch. There was silence all around. Li He, who was still holding his son, was speechless for a while. The other children of the powerful clan spoke in complicated and unspeakable words.
Watching this scene with eyes.
Li Zhang is just a child of a local small clan, how can he be compared with the world-famous Cui family of Qinghe... Ma Zhou looked at the indifferent Li Shan and thought that he had done his best by giving both kindness and power.
The Li family sacrificed a human life, but received the guarantee that their children would become officials.
The relocated people were rejected by the rulers and threatened by the army stationed not far away, but in the end they were able to settle down safely and received a guarantee with their lives... This was beyond their expectations.
When Wang Junhao slashed with his sword and a stream of blood spurted out, hundreds of people behind the middle-aged man fell to the ground like weak grass in the wind.
