Chapter 1864

It is not surprising that Wang Yao and Zhang Yiwen both praised the two leaders who set off civil unrest as talents.

There was an example like Wang San more than 30 years ago. In various counties and townships, the landlord gentry groups at the middle and lower levels also like to sit and watch the emergence of refugees and disaster victims. In that case, they can also absorb manpower and expand the slave team.

But when refugees become chaotic people, their nature is different. The landlords at the middle and lower levels of counties and townships are the most directly threatened! Who will the mob rob? The first target is the middle and lower class landlords, which will destroy their families and their own lives.

Who would despise such a great threat?

In recent years, the state of Lu has long formed a practice. Once there is a disaster and a large-scale exile, the middle and lower landlord classes around it will send people to inquire about the situation at the first time and just stare at the movements of those guys. Otherwise, you may be destroyed and perished at any time.

The refugees far away from your home are not so dangerous. Are they close? Is the most likely to destroy your family. Who doesn't care about these?

Since there are people watching nearby, and the people watching are definitely young and strong, then... When the refugees turn into civil chaos, the landlords at the middle and lower levels nearby will be ready to fight back or kill the refugees.

Even if the first house was killed because of carelessness and untimely response, after the first house was destroyed, many local gentry and sages around it must begin to unite vertically and horizontally and send troops together.

Therefore, in recent years, civil unrest often occurred, but more than 90% were put out in the initial stage. That's when there were dozens or hundreds of mob gangs.

Who can't pull out a young team? Xiang Xian is often the most prestigious and wealthiest place in a township. It is also common to pull a team from the clan. Usually, because of cultivated land or water, it pulls the clan team to fight.

At ordinary times, the villagers may not give the clan team real armor, which can deal with foreign mobs. It is absolutely standard for the army at the first time.

The first news Wang Yao and Zhang Yiwen received was that the civil unrest had developed into a scale of thousands of people!

The scale of 1000 people has passed the initial embarrassment and weakness. It is more or less a threat. Such a scale has not happened in xiuyanfu area for at least ten years.

I haven't seen it for ten years. Now there are two groups all of a sudden. What are the leaders of the mob, not talents? As long as we can avoid the first wave of culling of township landlords, those who can grow to this level are definitely talents.

They will have it now. Even if the two bandit leaders in the South and the north are suppressed and defeated, they will save people and let them play in the future.

When Zhang Yiwen opened his mouth with a smile, one south and one north were staged at the same time. Some coincided with the time, Wang Yao laughed, "maybe it's not a temporary intention, but the north and South are connected. Is it a familiar bandit leader who has known for a long time?"

"If they had known each other for a long time, it would obviously be more beneficial to us. They would expand the scale of the civil unrest. At that time, once the small and medium-sized gentry could not hold down, it would be more beneficial to us, ha ha ~"

Whether it's a true coincidence or a false coincidence, it doesn't matter to Wang Yao. He just hopes that the more chaos, the better.

He can think like this, of course, he also has his own confidence, that is, the local tyrants who stand at the top level of a government or even a state are really different.

The Xu family and Lu family in Xuecheng, Yunzhou can pull out thousands of elite servants when they are well prepared, while it is not difficult for the Wang family and Zhang family to pull out three or four thousand.

The three top giants, Tang, Shen and Liu, each pull out seven or eight thousand and tens of thousands of people have the ability. Together, there are tens of thousands of troops!

You said that the whole Xiuyan mansion, one Prefecture and three counties, only had a population of 300000 or 400000. The Tang family, the Shen family and the Liu family each pulled out 10000 young and strong family members. It's incredible? No, it's easy to understand. Tang and others are the bosses of a state. Their elite servants are not all composed of Xiuyan mansion. Many elite, even under orders, control a lake and many rivers, huge inland transportation channels and important places, as well as coastal ports, salt farms and other places.

Just like the Xiao family in Xuecheng's port, in the fleet, there are hundreds of local young people recruited in Xuecheng.

The only embarrassment is that the army pulled out by the top Haozu has not uniformly received strict military training, and is more familiar with the operation of group fighting.

But what about the level of group fighting? As long as the weapons are sharp enough, the armor is good enough... Or there are enough guns and artillery! Select a group of generals from the top elite families to command. After a little training and running in for a while, they will be elite.

In those years, the Yao family in Yunzhou relied on this combination to put out the rebellion of Wang San on a scale of more than 100000.

With sufficient confidence, Wang Yao and other big grain merchants, scholars and gentry are not afraid to screw things up. They are full of a full sense of superiority and confidence.

Zhang Yiwen was also happy. "You're right. It has no impact on us. Now, we still have to wait for the news. Ha ha, it's estimated that it won't take long for the news to pass back."

…………

What Zhang Yiwen said didn't take long, but it took more than two days.

The people they sent out arrived at the location of Han Jianzhou and Zhang Shun. Soon, it took a few hours or half a day, but it took time to inquire about information, mainly specific and true information.

More than two days later, it was still the Tianyan Pavilion. After watching the latest information, all the great men and gentry exchanged information with each other, so they couldn't help but marvel.

"Talent, really talent, ha ha ~"

"The two thieves in the South and the North absolutely know each other. Han Jianzhou and Zhang Shun operate in the same way. Although they are coerced into the young, they return all the young, old and weak relatives and friends in situ. As long as the gentry gather together, they run..."

"Up to now, the two men under their command have reached 2000. All of them are young and strong. They add up to more than 3000. If the north and South converge, it will be larger than the tens of thousands of people in the past."

…………

The past civil unrest, after gathering tens of thousands of people, has a great momentum, but how many of them are old and weak who have no strength to walk? A child who doesn't hurt? In the past ten thousand people level civil unrest, more than 70% were old, weak, women and children, and had no combat effectiveness.

Han Jianzhou and Zhang Shun gathered more than 3000 young people. Even if more than 90% of them had no armor, more than 80% of their weapons were hoes and sticks.

But it's scary!

In particular, they never confronted the troops assembled by the surrounding gentry head-on. When the other party came, they ran... Ran to those places where there was no defense, and robbed them.

This is a thief's slip.

One thing you must understand is that in a town or a township, although all the gentry and landlords contribute together, they can also gather hundreds of thousands of strong people, and they can all be sharp in armor, but those young people can only exist in one place at the same time.

After all the gentry and landlords in the township had been young and strong and supported by material resources, their hometown territory was empty.

If you can't break up the mob quickly and be swept by the other party, you will be embarrassed to death.
