Chapter 548

"Kneel down and don't kill!"

Outside a big Zhuangzi in Nanjing, hundreds of people were chasing their opponents with various weapons.

Li Liang looked coldly at the enemy kneeling on the ground and begged for mercy. He ordered: "clean up the wealth and food, and take all the prisoners away."

"Yes."

In half an hour, all the belongings, grain and grass were loaded into the car, and the brigade immediately drove the prisoners away from the deserted Chuang Tzu.

"Where shall we go next, my lord?"

At this time, Li Liang's command had expanded to more than 3000 people, and with all kinds of prisoners, it was almost tens of thousands.

The prisoners who escaped from Jiaozhou became his team.

"Yesterday, Ming people were only more than ten miles away from us, so they can't stay. Go now! Go to xinpingzhou."

Li Liang's judgment has never been missed, which is one of the reasons why he is deeply admired by everyone.

So the long team set out again, but they didn't go out for a few miles. The delayed scouts ran to report with panic: "Sir, the Ming army is catching up."

"How many? How many cavalry?"

Li Liang's calmness gave us some comfort, but the report of the scouts dissipated these emotions.

"My Lord, there must be at least tens of thousands of cavalry."

Li Liang looked at the prisoners with regret and finally made up his mind: "the prisoners are left, and the extra baggage is also left. Let's go quickly!"

With a team of more than 3000 people and some luggage, the speed was suddenly fast.

But some people don't quite understand Li Liang's behavior.

"Why don't you bring more prisoners, my lord? Then we have more people!"

"Those are the rich and their servants, but as your excellency said, we just live in these troubled times and are not with those ambitious families."

"Hurry up. Adults naturally have his consideration. Think about it yourself. If there were no adults, we would have become white bones!"

"Yes, adults have read books. Let's listen to him."

“……”

Li Liang left. The baggage left in place made the prisoners start to fight among themselves. He saw that a war was about to be staged, but a burst of hoof sound cooled everyone's heart.

"Kneel down! Everyone kneel down! Otherwise, there will be no amnesty!"

The cavalry were very experienced in circling around the prisoners and beating back the prisoners who wanted to escape with sticks.

Seeing that the cavalry did not kill, the prisoners knelt down and let the Ming army count their luggage.

Wu Yue's thousands of households have now become cavalry, but the horses are a little messy, and even donkeys.

This time, Fang Xing sent Wu yuebu and Fang Zheng drew out thousands of people, led by the commander Wang Du, and caught up with Li Liang who was robbing his family.

The king looked at the baggage and couldn't help laughing and said, "it's really uncle. This is nothing to do!"

Wu Yue looked at Chuang Tzu not far away and said leisurely: "when the rear guard station arrives, these prisoners will be our army. At that time, Jiaozhi won't have to work hard to run food and grass from the Central Plains."

……

Fang Xing, who returned to the state capital, has received two batches of various materials sent by the southward army. These grain, grass and wealth will be an important part of his next plan.

"Can we stop for a while?"

Fang Xing and Huang Fu are deliberating, and only Wang he is the supervisor.

Huang Fu hesitated and said, "Dehua, it's hard to do!"

Fang Xing's body always has an appeal, which can make the people he wants to be close to unconsciously change their attitude.

As soon as the name changed, both of them were a lot casual. Fang woke up and leaned on his chair and thought: "if the tin Lord, those salt merchants run cross toes, I'm afraid they don't make much profit?"

"There are not many, but Kaizhong and France are the lifeblood of salt merchants. Unless Daming can trade salt lead, those salt merchants will be reluctant to let go."

Fang Xing has seen salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture and is not a stranger.

Jiaozhi has been repeated all the time, so those salt merchants dare not settle their fields and pay grain on the spot, but transfer them from the Central Plains, which makes people bleed at the high cost.

"Now is the time for shangtun. In this way, let's first look at the attitude of salt merchants."

After less than an hour, several salt merchants came to the chief secretary's Yamen, and only one salt merchant came in person.

"Little Chen Mo, I've seen uncle and adult."

Different from the flattery of other salt merchants, Chen Mo's honest appearance makes Fang Xing doubt whether he is hiding traitors.

"Get up."

Huang Fu whispered, "Chen Mo is an honest man, so he sends it in person every time, and then goes back to get the salt."

Fang Xing nodded slightly, and then gave the scene to Huang Fu.

"I asked you to wait this time just to ask about shangtun. Are you willing?"

Huang Fu then looked down at these managers. We have dealt with each other for many times, and we are very clear about each other's thoughts.

Sure enough, as soon as these managers heard about shangtun, they immediately began to talk nonsense.

"My Lord, my master is not here. I dare not make decisions!"

"My Lord, how about waiting for a letter from a young man and waiting for my master's decision?"

The third steward was about to vomit bitter water. Fang woke up and patted the table. Then he said faintly, "since you don't want to, just don't regret it in the future. Those who are willing to stay in shangtun and those who don't want to go right away!"

Those in charge were overjoyed at the speech, but they were also wary of rejecting the future troubles of Fang Xing and Huang Fu, and were reluctant to go.

Huang Fu couldn't help but drink: "I've never put a condom on anyone. Don't pretend. Go!"

The managers of the salt merchants have left. They dare not take risks until they are completely settled. They would rather earn less through transshipment.

But Chen Mo didn't go, but bowed down and said, "I'm willing to go to shangtun."

Fang Xing and Huang Fu looked at each other and asked, "but voluntarily?"

Chen Mo said with a wry smile, "if you don't hide it from uncle and adults, if you go on like this, the small one won't be able to hold on."

"Good!"

Fang woke up and said, "dare to take risks. Benbo and Lord Huang really don't see the wrong person."

Huang Fu also touched his beard and said with a smile: "the north of Jiaozhi has been cleaned up by his Highness the king of Han, while in the south, our Ming officers and soldiers are chasing after those rebels. It is not far to calm the whole territory of Jiaozhi!"

Chen Mo said, "the small one is also the last time. If it doesn't work, go home and change your career."

"I can't lose you!"

Fang Xing will set a benchmark anyway, and as the first supporter of shangtun, Chen Mo is blessed.

Huang Fu also encouraged: "go and have a look. Remove the places where you want to plant sugarcane. You can circle it boldly."

Chen Mo also realized his good luck. He couldn't hide his excitement and said, "my Lord, you don't have so many people!"

"Hands?"

Fang Xing smiled and said, "many prisoners have been captured in several wars. There will be more in the future. You can pay for them."

Some people have fields. Although they can only be in the north for the time being, they can easily double crops a year!

Chen Mo can't sit still. He leaves in a hurry and is going to write back immediately to ask his family to prepare more people and money.
