Wanli 1592

Chapter 829
Liu Huangshang's original intention was to ask Li Hualong to pay attention to Chai Guozhu. If there is nothing wrong, it doesn't matter. Only when there is something wrong, he needs to contain it.

But Liu Huangshang didn't expect Li Hualong to be a person who didn't trust generals. He felt that they were born to be ignorant and shameless and only knew how to kill people, so they treated generals badly. Li Hualong immediately regarded Chai Guozhu as an enemy.

How can you easily trust the enemy?

So Li Hualong directly rejected Chai Guozhu, and at this critical moment, Li Hualong felt that he had to send someone to take the initiative to attack once to motivate the army. The best candidate was of course Chai Guozhu.

First, you can rely on Chai Guozhu's strong fighting power to increase the chance of victory. Second, you can also take this opportunity to test Chai Guozhu's loyalty. If Chai Guozhu is loyal enough, he will definitely fight to the death. suspected.

But if Chai Guozhu really has a problem, Li Hualong doesn't mind getting rid of Chai Guozhu's hidden threat.

After all, generals cannot be trusted.

On Li Hualong's side, he was intensively preparing for a sudden counterattack, thinking of giving a severe lesson to the navy of the Zhennan Army, while on the other side, the working group led by Xie He finally arrived at Ningbo Mansion.

Zheng Ying has been looking forward to support for a long time, but when he saw that "support" only had more than 30 members of the working group and more than 200 guards, he was in a bad mood.

"Mr. Xie, the commander-in-chief only gave me more than 200 people? What's the use of that? I just suppressed another big family riot three days ago. Now is the time when manpower is scarce. If this continues, I will not even be able to leave Ningbo Mansion." , there are too many big families here, it's too bad."

Zheng Ying looked at Xie He anxiously: "Can you tell the commander-in-chief that it would be good to give me two or 3000 people, at least to protect Ningbo Mansion, right? I only have five thousand trusted brothers, and the rest Soldiers are not reliable."

Xie He didn't say anything, just smiled, then took out a warrant and handed it to Zheng Ying.

"what is this?"

"Commander's order."

Zheng Ying was stunned for a moment, and quickly took it apart to take a look. After reading it, he looked at Xie He in surprise.

"The commander-in-chief asked me to fully cooperate with you?"

"Yes, General Zheng, I'm here to help you solve the problems of big households rebelling and the shortage of troops. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me fully, you will be able to see initial results within a month."

Xie He expressed his opinion to Zheng Ying very confidently.

"what are you going to do?"

Zheng Ying was at a loss.

"It's very simple, General Zheng, tell me, where are the people who are the most unfriendly to us within the entire Ningbo Mansion you occupy?"

"That's naturally in Yin County."

Zheng Ying said: "Yin County is the hometown of the thief, and several big families are very wary of us. After we searched five big families, some people rose up to make trouble. What's more hateful are those farmers who have received the favor of our land distribution. He actually participated in this matter."

Xie He nodded.

"Then how did General Zheng handle this matter?"

"Well, the troops were dispatched back to defeat the regiment training, all the guardians of the big families were killed, the family was confiscated, and the farmers were punished according to the severity of the circumstances. Basically, the land was confiscated. However, such a punishment is still caused by some people. I really don't understand. What do those farmers think!"

Zheng Ying's face was full of anger, as if he had a lot of resentment in his heart.

"What do you think, isn't that very simple? They have been tenants of other families for generations, and they have lived as vassals of big families for generations. They are used to it. Suddenly they get their own land. They may not be able to adapt. At this moment If all the big households are not wiped out, new big households will soon take advantage of it.

These farmers are used to being threatened and coerced. As long as one person is encouraged, many people will follow blindly, regardless of right and wrong, even if we allocate land to them. "

Xie He said coldly.

"Is there still such a reason? My family used to be a tenant, but this... this is really unimaginable."

Zheng Ying shook his head.

"No matter how unimaginable it is, the fact is that, for farmers, this is not called revenge, it is just to survive, they are used to using the smallest price in exchange for their own survival, they are used to haggling, how much do you want them to abandon? It’s too difficult for a century-old lifestyle to help you.”

Xie He said, "It's like a goat that always eats grass. If you put a piece of meat in front of it and ask it to eat, can it get used to it?"

Zheng Ying said that he could not.

"So we have to force it to eat until he can get used to it."

Xie He finally put Zheng Ying in a daze.

"Huh? Forcing sheep to eat meat?"

"Yes, forcing sheep to eat meat is similar to the government's coercion against the people. Compared with the government's coercion against the people, it only persecutes a few people. What we want to persecute are not just sheep in a small village."

Zheng Ying looked Xie He up and down.

"Mr. Xie, the commander sent you here, what exactly are you here for?"

Xie He took a deep breath.

"I'm here to relieve General Zheng from the disaster."

Afterwards, Xie He asked Zheng Ying to provide the villages around Yin County with the most fertile land and the largest number of wealthy households. Zheng Ying found it strange to treat the village that was most hostile to the Zhennan Army, so he mentioned Dayan Village, where many married couples were married. Big households, they stick together and are very difficult to deal with.

Xie He assessed the difficulty of this village and found that it was the most difficult to deal with, so he decided to be it.

Others asked whether they should choose a simpler place to try their hand, but Xie He flatly refused.

"If you want to fight, you must start from the most difficult place to fight, and clean up the most powerful ones. There are small fish and shrimps underneath. We have soldiers, knives, guns, cannons, and crossbows. What are we afraid of? It's them! Not us!"

After unifying his internal thoughts, Xie He asked Zheng Ying for help.

"What? Ruffian hooligans, market idlers? What do you want them to do? What is there to find? They are all in the streets and alleys, and it took us a lot of work to clean them up!"

Zheng Ying obviously has no good sense for these guys.

Xie He nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, this is the group of people, General Zheng, find me dozens of people, the most vicious, stubborn, and most evil, I will be very useful!"

Zheng Ying was completely confused.

"What's the use of them? If you don't want to find a serious job, you will know how to cheat, kidnap and rob. I will kill them all sooner or later!"

"Don't! Don't kill them all! If you kill them all, how can I find bad luck for those big families? Ordinary people don't have the guts."

Xie He quickly stopped Zheng Ying's idea.

"Trouble with the big family? Why am I getting more and more confused?"

Xie He shook his head.

"General Zheng, have you forgotten the Commander-in-Chief's order? Cooperate fully with our working group and don't worry about the rest. When the time comes, I will naturally give you a very obedient Ningbo Mansion."

Seeing Xie He's swearing look, Zheng Ying became even more puzzled. He decided to follow Xie He to see what Xie He was going to do.
