Chapter 68

The former liujiading army and the current Taiping army killed the peak and destroyed Jufeng mountain in two days, which shocked other bandits.

Moreover, Liu bu also gave a death order. If he surrendered, he would not die. If he didn't surrender, none of them would stay. They treated the bandits very ruthlessly. They used 11 killing orders. Although they only killed a few, the end result of those who were incorporated into the trapped camp is estimated to be not much better.

After occupying Jufeng mountain, they can condescend and give orders to other villages. If these people don't obey the orders, they will send troops to attack. Anyway, they have plenty of time. They plan to suppress bandits this year.

After they occupied Jufeng mountain, they decided to turn it into one of their military bases. They appointed Liu Ning as the commander here to be responsible for the defense of this area. There were more than 200 officers and soldiers under their hands. Once there was a problem, they immediately supported Tibetan army Valley and Liu family mansion.

Liu Ning, who used to be at the general flag level, has a certain command ability, and his loyalty to Liu Bu has been recognized, so they decided to appoint him as the only commander stationed in a place.

However, he is still a hundred family official at the hundred family level.

Liu Buhe won Jufeng mountain. He was most happy to see that his troops were so powerful, and his soldiers saw blood and became an army that dared to fight and kill.

Now he dares to name his army Taiping army, which shows how confident he is.

He doesn't want his own troops. Once on the battlefield, they all become soft legged crabs and tremble when they see the enemy. At present, they are only dealing with some bandits. If they deal with the regular army and JianNu, the other party won't give you any chance.

In Liu Zhongyong's words, like today, there are so hesitant in their troops. If they deal with JianNu, they will certainly be used by the other party to attack from you and destroy your front.

Liu Ning and his colleagues arranged to count the gold and silver treasures in the treasure house in Houshan, worth about 50000 Liang. These treasures were collected and scraped from the nearby villages and towns. Many treasures were stained with blood. You can guess their history as soon as you guess.

There is not much food on the mountain. The main reason is that the bandits can't get food through normal trade channels. They can only farm and rob by themselves. Laoshan is not suitable for farming at all. They can only rely on looting. Since the Wuqiao mutiny, the local chaos and the decline of people's livelihood are not so easy to rob, so the bandits are hungry and full. They have so much money, But he is hungry. It is said that everyone usually has a bowl of porridge every day. He can eat enough only when he is in war. He can eat enough every day only when he enters his old camp.

Now for the whole north of the Ming Dynasty, grain is a big problem. Grain can be used as money.

But for the Liu family, grain is not a big problem, because the grain of Daming is mainly transported from the south to the north through the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal, and I don't know how much grain is lost in the canal every year? The so-called loss actually made these officials collude with each other to sell.

These are the old businesses of the Liu family. They don't know how much food they produce every year, so apart from others, everyone in the Liu family will have enough to eat. Food is the least valuable here. It's not a problem to get a large number of them casually and raise an army.

Because they can get food so easily, Liu Yuanqiao has the idea of raising an army by himself. Since he has enough food, it is not difficult to raise an army by himself. There is a huge grain depot in the Liu family's back house in Fushan. Their food is pulled out here, and there is a private wharf, There are also many grains stacked on the wharf, enough for them to eat for a period of time.

If it's not enough, it can be transported from Linqing, so it's really not a problem for them.

This advantage of the Liu family is not found in all families in the north. Few big families and forces dare to say that they are not short of money and food.

Liu Yuanqiao also understood his weakness, that is, Liu Jiafu is rich, but it is not expensive. Moreover, this expensive word is not expensive when you become a senior official. So many people regard him as a senior official. Does anyone say he is a noble person?

He made a plan, that is to get his own home army, soldiers have rights, and rights can be transformed into noble spirit.

With such good conditions, Liu Bu actually stands on the shoulders of giants. As long as it is not a waste, he can almost make a career.

He appointed Liu Ning as the commander of Jufeng mountain, let him continue to be responsible for guarding here, and he led the main force to withdraw to the Tibetan Valley.

The black dog of Goutou mountain and the mountain tiger of Beidou mountain agreed to surrender, but the specific conditions are still under discussion. It is estimated that both sides will not be able to fight, because the most powerful mountain crossing in their area has destroyed the Liu family's army at one fell swoop. They are even worse than those who cross the mountain, so they are not opponents. Instead of fighting tenaciously, they do not submit to the Liu family. This is also a good choice, Because the Liu family offered them a condition that they would give them food support, which no one can do, not even the government.

Both of them expressed their willingness to submit to Jufeng mountain, and the specific conditions have yet to be further determined.

Because of these good news, Liu Bu withdrew his main force from Jufeng mountain and returned to the Tibetan Valley to continue training. At this time, they also received news from Linqing and were very sad to know his father.

Liu Zeqing gave him a lot of pressure, and they also heard the news. Now Liu Zeqing is not dead to them. He is going to find an excuse to pierce the Jimo affair, and then sent troops to attack them and copy their Liu family.

Liu Bu sighed, "no matter how hidden we are, the other party has found it."

They robbed Jimo without leaving any evidence for the other party. If the other party wants to arrest them, it is impossible. Will Liu Zeqing care about the evidence? When he came to the army, he has the final say. He said it was evidence. That would be evidence.

And his purpose is obvious. He came to the Liu family and wanted to copy the Liu family's old house and use the Liu family's money for his own use. Would he care about the evidence?

Song xiance said to him, "when it comes to Liu Zeqing, good people don't come. Bad people come. We must be prepared for war."

Liu Zhongyong said to him, "the end of the war will immediately prepare the battle plan."

Liu Zeqing, as the commander-in-chief of Shandong army, has thousands of soldiers, and his ordinary soldiers exceed 10000. Only he knows the specific number. Even the Shandong division doesn't know how many soldiers he has? However, in the past two years, he has been regarded as the local overlord in this area of Shandong. The governors of the two places have turned a blind eye to him.

Song xiance said, "in fact, we don't have to use hard or soft to deal with Liu Zeqing."

Liu Bu said, "Mr. Song, as long as your so-called soft method is not surrender, you can say it and study it."

Song xiance said: "today, Feng Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of war, is mean and timid, knows darkness and cunning, works for profit and skilful in avoiding trouble. He is also greedy for money. We can start with him, bribe him and transfer Liu Zeqing."

Liu Bu said to him, "if Zhang Fengji is as miserable as Mr. Song said, how can he become the Minister of war today? And he has been a minister for several years?"

Everyone knows that today's emperor is impatient and strict. It's not easy to be an official under him. It's great and unique to be an official for a few years.

Song xiance said: "Zhang Fengyi, such a man, has experienced three dynasties and has been promoted continuously. In addition to his good life, sun Chengzong said that he worked for profit and skillfully avoided trouble. When he was in Wanli, he once served as deputy envoy of Guangning military reserve and was on the front line of western Liaoning. As a result, Ding you returned home because of his father's death. At the end of three years, Ding you was appointed as Zunhua military reserve at the beginning of the apocalypse. When he was promoted, he also left the front line of western Liaoning, and was on the second day of the apocalypse In, the battle of Guangning took place, during which the Ming army was defeated. Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi withdrew from Baoshan customs, and all the land in western Liaoning was lost. Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen were executed one after another. Other guards were killed or committed suicide. If he was still in Guangning, he would not escape, but he was saved by his father's death. In the third year of apocalypse, he was involved in a book by sun Chengzong, and his accomplices were punished But before the punishment was given, he caught up with his mother's death and left, and Ding you escaped being investigated again. Once again, Ding you returned to his former post as governor of Baoding. A year later, Liu Zhao, governor of Jiliao, was dismissed, and Zhang Fengyi was promoted to be the right censor of Youdu and the right chamberlain of the army to replace governor of Jiliao. Last time, Yan Mingtai was dismissed, and he acted as governor of Liaodong. This time, he picked up a bargain and replaced the governor. "

"It can't be said that he was skillful in avoiding trouble because of his good life. What is closely related to his skillful in avoiding trouble is that he worked for profit. This is reflected in that when he was governor of Baoding, he set up a ancestral hall for Wei Zhongxian, and later voted for Wen Tiren. After emperor Chongzhen eradicated Wei Zhongxian, he pleaded guilty under the impeachment of the censor. If Chongzhen didn't allow it, he sued and returned to his hometown. Therefore," all those who built the ancestral hall entered the counter case. " However, Zhang Fengyi was not investigated because he was a minister guarding the border. Moreover, every time he was impeached by the imperial censor for his incompetence, he immediately pleaded guilty. This may be in line with Chongzhen's taste of making an edict for himself every time there was a disaster. He thought that Zhang Fengyi had the same courage to correct himself, so every time Fengyi was not allowed to even beg for rest, and Fengyi was also in danger. He pleaded guilty. The emperor did not allow it and ordered him to be punished It can be seen that it is actually unique in officialdom. "

Liu Bu said, "do you have a fact that he is greedy for money?"

Song xiance asked him, "are there any officials in the world who are not greedy for money?"
