Chapter 1719 The same wave of refugees ([-])

After the steward got a good beating, the messenger delivered the message to the village to which he belonged, and took the steward's badge with him to show that what he said was true.

As a matter of fact, the man from the Zhuangzi of the Wen family was a little panicked when he saw that the person who came to report the letter was a soldier. After he learned that he was in charge of interfering with the army and was beaten, the second in command was so panicked that he hurriedly wrote to his boss. Asking for help, he repeatedly claimed that if no one came, the land would have to be taken by the army, and if the steward did not redeem it, he would be sent to a hard labor camp.

After all, the second-in-command knew very well that there was no title deed to that piece of wild land, and no one had the right to comment on it if the army wanted to occupy it to do their business.

As for whether the steward will be redeemed, the second in command doesn't care, he hopes that no one will come back, so that he can take over the position, right?

It would take a few days for the host to react when the news was sent back to the owner, so there was another time difference, and there were several nominally unowned wild lands thirty miles away from the county, so the same trick was staged one after another.

It's no secret that the manager of the Wen family's farm spied on the military situation randomly. After all, in order to take care of their own fields, each family will have a superior farmer in charge of this type of land. Because they are close together, they even become neighbors. , so as long as one person has an accident, everyone in the circle will know.

Naturally, the managers of these farms would not put themselves in danger. When they heard that the army occupied their own land, they sent someone to take a look at it from a distance to make sure that it was true. When they returned, they immediately wrote a letter and reported to the owner. Everything was decided by the owner. , They don't get involved in such small things as stewards.

The landlords who received reports from their subordinates one after another were also panicked. They all remembered that the refugees in the county rioted and involved the salt field outside the city. After the army took action, the salt field is still in the hands of the Bai family army. There is no intention of asking for the place to be returned.

Now the army is occupying land everywhere on the border of the county, and when the refugee issue is settled, those lands may become the property of the army.

The big landlords were not willing to lose their land. After meeting and discussing with each other, they joined forces and went to the Yamen to ask the Yamen to be the masters.

At the same time, the owner of the farm on the edge of the county border that had been hit by the autumn wind was also looking for someone to discuss what to do. The person he was looking for was naturally a landlord who had a farm on the border of the county border like him, and the group of refugees could find a path If you go around the county and come outside his Zhuangzi, you can follow the road to other people's Zhuangzi. The main reason is that these lands are not united, and Zhuangzi can't be kept.

Then there are some unlucky big landlords who have land on the edge of the county border and thirty miles away from the county border. When the news is put together, their heads explode.

They wanted to justly accuse the Bai family army of being weak in defense, but there is such a big camp in the county, and the soldiers and horses eat, drink and chew every day with Qianhu's own food and grass, and there are archers patrolling near their Zhuangzi. Otherwise, when those refugees first appeared, they would not be stopped by the archers in such a timely manner.

There are large camps and patrols, and the army has done what they can. Based on these actual achievements, even if they report to the government and state government, the army is confident.

These landowners, big and small, knew in their hearts that if they blamed the army for not doing their duty because their own interests were damaged, they would be causing trouble for themselves. The army has been waiting for them to make mistakes in order to profit from them, and they cannot pass the blame on to the other party.
