The spring and summer of the fifteenth year of God's Blessing were the most painful six months for Feng Changyu, the former magistrate of Qianyang County and the head of the Feng clan in Xuzhou.
In the 13th year of Tianyou's reign, Han Daoxun became an official in Xuzhou. His son Feng Jin planned the chaos in the state prison. Feng Changyu later learned that it was too late to stop him, so he could only urgently contact the Xi, Yang, and Xiang tribesmen in Qianyang City.
Withdrew urgently, hoping that the prisoners would riot and drive the new governor Han Daoxun out of Xuzhou.
Who would have thought that Han Daoxun, Han Qian and his son could use thunderous momentum to suppress the prisoner riot in the state prison that night before all the forces could react.
No matter how deaf and blind Feng Changyu is, he also knows that that little bitch Xi Rong has completely forgotten the revenge of killing his brother and has thrown himself into Han Qian's arms to play coquettishly. The Xuzhou Ship Gang secretly recruits the Xi clan members through redemption
, it’s not like he didn’t notice it.
However, what will happen to the weak Xi family even if thousands of people gather at the foot of Qianyang City again?
After Ji Kun, the head of the Fang Department, was assassinated by Han Qian, Feng Changyu thought he would tolerate it for a few years and wait until the court transferred Han Daoxun to another position, so that he would not have to worry about the difficult father and son.
But he never expected that Han Qian would flee to Xuzhou with his people in the spring breeze, intending to settle in Xuzhou with his father and establish themselves on their own.
What Feng Changyu didn't expect was that the imperial court acquiesced to this established fact and even granted official titles and honors to the Han family and his son. The adjustments made by the Han family and his son to the officials in Xuzhou were ratified by the imperial court, which made Xuzhou's government at this time
The more important official positions in the state were occupied by the close confidants of the Han family's father.
Next is the land tax reform.
Although the current land tax reform only affects the interests of large guest households in Qianyang County, the Han family and his son want to support nearly 3,000 elite combat troops in Xuzhou as the basis for their separatist rule in Xuzhou. They only harvest the large guest households in Qianyang County far away.
It's far from enough. Sooner or later, they will extend their tentacles to their native surnames!
At this time, the Han family and his son also began to take action against the Fanzhai in Qianyang County. They even sent troops to suppress two small Fanzhai that resolutely resisted, and also wanted to extend the land tax reform to the native Fanzhai households.
This also means that there is no possibility for them to temporarily pretend to be attached to the Han family and his son.
And things need to be done sooner rather than later.
When Han Qian led the Feng family's slaves to station in Wuliu River, recruited young refugees, dug canals, and built weirs and dams, no one thought that Han Qian could succeed, thinking that this would only waste the hands of the Han family and his son.
Many resources.
After all, for hundreds of years, countless people have thought about taming Wuliu River so that they could reclaim Dawankou. However, after so many years, only a dozen small villages have established themselves in the Dawankou area.
The diversion weir of Wuliu River was completed in early April, and then came the rainy season in Xuefeng Mountain and Longya Mountain. By early May, Longya Mountain was experiencing heavy rain for days. However, after the diversion of Shahe River and Wuliu River,
The mouth of Dawan at the southern foot of Longya Mountain was not flooded.
The surnames realized that the ability of the Han family and his son to build weirs and control water was indeed beyond the capabilities of Fanzhai, but this also meant that every day they delayed, the foundation of the Han family and his son in Xuzhou would become deeper.
Three to four hundred cattle were transported to Dawankou, and Longya Mountain produced a new type of Quyuan pear and a large number of strong and durable iron tools. With concentrated manpower, three to four hundred acres of new fields could be cultivated on both sides of Shahe River and Wuliu River in one day.
, dig three or four miles of irrigation branch canals.
Fertile soil accumulates along the Wuliu River and Shahe River, where floods occur every year. If you scatter the seeds, the seedlings will emerge vigorously from the soil without having to take care of them.
The refugees who had poured into Xuzhou since last year quickly took root under the new recruitment and naturalization policy implemented by the Han family and their sons, which also led to the rapid expansion of the military strength of the Xuzhou camp to 2,500 people.
Although in the eyes of the surnames, most of the soldiers and horses in the Xuzhou camp were still a mob, the money and food collected by the Han family and his son during this period were invested in the training of these two thousand and five hundred generals.
This also means that with every day of delay, the strength of the soldiers and horses controlled by the Han family and his son will become stronger.
The Fan villages belonging to the Feng family, the Xiang family, the Xi family, and the Yang family are scattered in the mountains and rivers of Langxi and Tanyang. Even if the four families can mobilize two to three thousand elites, Feng Changyu still believes that the Fan soldiers are brave and good at fighting, but the strength of the soldiers is still high.
How to gather and rendezvous in order to deal a fatal blow to the Han family and his son?
It is unrealistic to storm the walled and dangerous Qianyang City. How can the four families join forces to attack Yushu Bay, which is completely open to the Yuanshui River?
Feng Changyu walked out of the village hall and stared at Fan Yong who was training day and night in front of the village building.
The Feng family controls more than 20 Fanzhai in Langxi, large and small, and has more than 1,400 native households under its control. On the surface, there are only more than 7,200 people in Dingkou, but Feng Changyu knows in his heart that this is the former
According to figures from the time of Emperor Wuzong, the population has multiplied over the years, and with the annexation of the Xi family and other small village forces, the Dingkou controlled by the Feng family already has more than 12,000 people, with adults between the ages of sixteen and fifty.
There are almost 3,600 people.
Liu Ding drew one, Feng's 600 soldiers, which made the villages up and down the Yuan River frightened, and also made him taste the ecstasy of Gao Xi's charming body.
Thinking of this, Feng Changyu regretted giving that little bitch Xi Rong to Han Qian's grandson.
Although he was already old and was no longer capable of dealing with men and women, he thought he would not worry about it anymore after sending her away, but the facts proved that he was wrong.
Even if he doesn't have the energy to spare, reaching out to touch that delicate body that is as smooth and white as silk or milk, feeling the soft elasticity of the tentacles, and feeling the youthful breath is so charming, it can make him feel much younger; after sending that little bitch out
, Feng Changyu experienced that feeling again and it was so unforgettable.
The young women in the village, not only have rough skin, but also have vulgar manners, are far from comparable to that little bitch.
Feng Changyu thought for a moment, then turned and walked back to the village hall. Hearing "bang, bang, bang", someone came up the stairs. He turned around and saw his son Feng Jin and Gao Bao coming, and asked, "Have you seen the military supervisor?"
"I have seen it. The military supervisor said that I, Feng, can send troops to eradicate the Han family and his son. He will ask for an order to replace my father with the old traitor Han." Feng Jin couldn't help but said excitedly.
Feng Changyu couldn't help but want to take a look at his son. If he could really eradicate the Han family and his son, and Xuzhou would fall into the hands of the four surnames again, would he still worry about not being able to replace them?
The most important thing now is what kind of help Zhang Ping can provide.
"Did the military supervisor say how we should get rid of them?" Feng Changyu asked.
"The Han family and his son are heavily guarded in Qianyang City, making it difficult to attack by force. They are also very careful about guarding the military envoys. However, I, the Feng family, made a sneak attack on Wuliu River, or severely damaged the residents living along the Wuliu River and Shahe River, but we could not attack it for the first time.
We captured Longya City and Wuliu Village at once, but could not stand at the southern foot of Longya Mountain. The Yiwei Han family and his son sent troops from Qianyang City to counterattack," Feng Jin said, "The supervisor of the army suggested that we attack Yingyu Village secretly!"
"Eagle Fish Village?"
Yingyu Village was the Chinese city occupied by Tanzhou soldiers and horses at the foot of the western foothills of Zhongfang Mountain.
Feng Changyu was suddenly shocked. It was unimaginable that Zhang Ping, the supervisor of the army, actually advocated a sneak attack on Yingyu Village!
"The military supervisor has noticed that the Han family and his son have secretly colluded with Tanzhou for a long time. Han Daoxun Tianyou released the land ban at the end of the thirteenth year, which actually allowed the people from Tanzhou to infiltrate. Yingyu Village is the people from Tanzhou who infiltrated.
The building built by the refugees is an ironclad evidence of the collusion between the Han family and Tanzhou. Zhao Zhixian, a doctor of state medicine, has been Tanzhou’s secret thorn in Xuzhou over the years. He has been the liaison between the Han family and Tanzhou in the past two years.
.The Han family and his son are now proposing to establish a new Zhongfang County at the foot of Zhongfang Mountain, and intend to recommend Zhao Zhixian as the Zhongfang County Magistrate. No matter how far it goes, the four surnames may have no place on both sides of the Yuanshui River..."
Feng Jin licked his lips and said.
"Is Zhao Zhixian from Tanzhou?" Feng Changyu asked in shock, but after he asked the question, he felt it was redundant and motioned to Feng Jin to continue.
Feng Jin continued:
"Gao Bao has also found out at this time that Tanzhou has not many troops gathered in Zhongfangzhai at this time, less than 400 people. This is very different from the number mastered by the military supervisor. If we can surprise and capture the Chinese side,
The stronghold can not only cut off the connection between Qianyang City and Longya Mountain based on the Chinese Stronghold, but also further gather the soldiers and horses of the Xiang Family, Yang Family, and Xiang Family based on the Chinese Stronghold, so that they will not lose a foothold under the counterattack of the Han family and his son.
land."
"Tanzhou has not many troops gathered in Zhongfang Stronghold, but Tanzhou can be provoked by us?" Feng Changyu had to consider the possible retaliation from Tanzhou after the surprise attack on Zhongfang Stronghold.
"The collusion between the Han family and Tanzhou to plot Xuzhou has prompted the imperial court to make up its mind to take action against Tanzhou. At present, the imperial court has begun to gather large-scale troops in Ezhou. The military supervisor suggested that we sneak attack on Zhongfang Village, and he also hopes that we will attack Zhongfang Village by then
We sent troops from Xuzhou to contain Tanzhou, and then we promised that I, Feng, would inherit the position of governor of Xuzhou. After we take action, the military supervisor will come to join us. At that time, we can invite people with surnames from Chenzhou and Jingzhou.
Forces send troops..."
Feng Jin said anxiously,
"At this time, the Han family and his son are colluding with Tanzhou to plot Xuzhou. Can we still treat the Han family and his son separately from Tanzhou? If we take action against the Han family and our son, wouldn't we be taking action against Tanzhou? Or maybe
Are we just going to sit in the village and wait for the Han family and his son to send troops and horses to forcefully collect autumn grain?"
The vast majority of the native-born Fan people in Xuzhou are attached to the big surnames as slaves. Therefore, the Fanzhai controlled by the four big surnames only pays more than a thousand shi in grain every year. However, with the new land tax policy, the annual land tax has increased to more than 40,000 shi.
, more than two thousand coins.
This is actually to dig out the fat that the big families of the four surnames eat every year to fill the bottomless pit of desires of the Han family and his son.
This is definitely not what Feng Changyu wants to see.
And since the Han family and his son have colluded with Tanzhou since the end of last year, there is no difference between attacking the Han family and his son and attacking Tanzhou?
Is it possible that after they eradicated the Han family and his son, Tanzhou could remain indifferent?
Feng Changyu twirled his sparse beard, stared at his son Feng Jin and asked: "Is it certain that the imperial court is going to take action against Tanzhou?"
"Haier sent another person to Ezhou to see it. Even if the imperial court does not take action in Tanzhou before this winter, it is a fact that the military garrison has increased massively. I believe Tanzhou will also notice it - we will act decisively in Xuzhou. As long as we can react in Tanzhou
Before controlling the situation in Xuzhou, I believe that Tanzhou would never dare to send troops and horses deep into Wushan." Feng Jin said.
Feng Changyu pondered for a long time and then asked Gao Bao: "Is Feng Xuan reliable?"
Gao Bao swallowed and said: "During the trip to Jinling, the Han family and his son were very friendly to Feng Xuan, but the men of the Han family and his son often treated us as aliens and ridiculed us. Feng Xuan often secretly lamented that Han Daoxun was
He is the governor of Xuzhou, and there is nothing he can do about his use. Gao Bao feels that there may be no need to rush to ask Feng Xuan to participate in such secret matters. We can wait until we capture Zhongfang City and then ask Feng Xuan to send troops."
"Father, it's not too late!" Feng Jin urged in a suppressed voice.
"The walls of Yingyu Village are strong and difficult to attack by force. However, Yingyu Village is only more than forty miles away from Qianyang City and the Han family's father and son's garrison at Wuliu River..." Feng Changyu said anxiously, he wanted to
Take action, but if you don't think things through thoroughly, how can he act rashly!
