Chapter 188 Fight the local tycoon, divide the field

"Kill, kill!" In the open space outside Dingxi Field, a row of soldiers holding spears were waving the spears in their hands and stabbing them hard.

Zhang Yang looked at the soldiers who were training hard, and his eyes were still worried.

Did down the Dingxi field, which is equivalent to breaking the sky of Gaoyou. However, in more than ten days, Xinghua, Gaoyou, there was no reaction. What are they doing? Why don't you counterattack the salt field and retake it? Zhang Yang has always had a hunch that the enemy is secretly dispatching troops and preparing to besiege himself?

With the continuous joining of people nearby, his men have expanded to five battalions. Except for the two battalions stationed in Killing Harbor and Baijuchang, there are three battalions in Dingxi. In addition to the third battalion led by Lv Zhen and the fourth battalion led by Bian Yuanheng, Zhang Yang's own base camp has also expanded to nearly 600 people, one of whom Some of the ground snakes were sent by Zhang Yang to the intersections and ferries to monitor the situation, and the rest were trained together.

In several battalions, Zhang Yang's base camp, because there are more than 100 Tianque players, organized into a 100-person team alone, so the combat effectiveness is also the strongest. As for the rest, they are still dominated by spears, and only a small number of Tianque players are the command at the grassroots level. All the war horses, except for commanders above the centurion, are all integrated into Zhang Yang's base camp.

Of course, the direct battalion should be more configured. Other generals dare not have any comments on these.

The large households in the west of Xinghua have been basically swept away, but one of them, a large family, has been retained. This large family, surnamed Shen, is a rich and unkind. The Shen family is definitely an alien. In the famine year, they have never deducted too much land rent of tenant farmers, and sometimes even do some good deeds. I gave some porridge, so I didn't disturb the Shen family in the process of borrowing food.

When the large households around them learned that the salt farm had been robbed and forcibly borrowed grain, and accidentally, the whole door was destroyed and fled one after another, the Shen family seemed to be unaffected by any influence and still lived a normal life.

Zhang Yang is very curious about the Shen family, but he doesn't have time to go now. Otherwise, he really wants to visit him. Why is this Shen family not surprised? Aren't you afraid of being robbed?

"Big brother, Li Shanchang and the second brother are here." A sentinel said that the second brother was Shiyi.

"Oh? Is that so?" Zhang Yang sent someone to Baijuchang and invited Li Shanchang and Shiyi to come here, just to discuss the next step. Go to the government to discuss it.

Since occupying the salt farm, Zhang Yang has temporarily used the government of the salt farm as his living place, and the classy living room is often used to discuss military affairs.

"Big brother." Li Shanchang and Shi Yi shouted.

"Baiju Salt Farm, how's it going over there?" Zhang Yang and the two of them asked as they walked to the government.

"Everything is normal. There are guards of the first battalion, and the fortifications have been completed in the past few days. If the Tatars dare to come again, I promise that they will never come back." Li Shanchang said.

"Is there any movement in the Liuzhuang field in the north?" After capturing Dingxi Field, Zhang Yang was busy training the army. For a while, Liu Zhuang Field, who had not been taken to the north, was also taken over.

"I once sent spies to inquire. After Liu Zhuangchang learned that the two salt farms here had been shot down, the commander and Si Cheng ran away, and even the salt was gone. Now, there is only a team of Mongolian tartars guard there, and the salt people did not boil salt. It was easy to beat Liu Zhuangchang." Shi Yi said.

As they spoke, the three of them walked into the government.

Bian Yuanheng, Lv Zhen, Shi Xin and other people have been waiting inside. This is another small military meeting.

"This time we get together and mainly study the recent tasks." Zhang Yang said. There has been no movement in the tartars recently. It's very suspicious.

"Yes," Li Shanchang said, "We have taken down the Baijuchang and Dingxichang. Xinghua and Gaoyou have no response. Are they unable to encircle and suppress us, or are they planning any action?"

"What the matter, if they dare to come, we will beat them." Shi Xin said.

"Yes, I guess it was the last time I beat them in the murder port, right?" Shi Yi also said.

"I always feel that the Tutars are planning a big action against us together. The more they don't move, the more worried I am." Zhang Yang said.

What is the biggest difficulty now? No information! I don't know what the Tutar is doing. With the expansion of his power, this intelligence organization must be established as soon as possible.

"So we must train our team as soon as possible. Last time, the Tutars were completely destroyed in the killing port. This time, we will definitely change our strategy. Our team should always be ready for battle." Li Shanchang also said.

"Yes, the recruits account for the majority of our team. There are not many experienced veterans. Although there are many more people, the combat effectiveness has not improved much." Zhang Yang said that war is definitely not a simple comparison of numbers. Hundreds of tar cavalry can break through thousands of infantry phalanxes, and hundreds of days can also beat thousands of tar cavalry to throw away their armor. Well-trained, disciplined and well-equipped are the key to winning.

"However, our team's enthusiasm is very high. We have fought very well in these battles, so I believe that we will be able to drive away any tartar who dares to invade!" Lv Zhen said.

The morale is indeed very high. It can be seen from the training ground that in a few days, the grip of the fine steel spear casting was polished to shine. As for the spear tip, it was extremely sharpened by the soldiers. It is also an advantage to use the spear to deal with the tars. The key is to have the courage to fight head-on head-on. Qi, Zhang Yang believes that the soldiers have this courage at present.

"The assassination training should continue. You must practice this well. Even if the tar cavalry is on the top of the head, they can't take a step back. When it's time to stab, stab it out immediately!" Zhang Yang said.

"Yes!" Several people answered together.

"Brother, there is another question." Li Shanchang said.

"What?" Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows.

"We have recruited nearly 3,000 people now. The food of these 3,000 people is also a big problem." Li Shanchang said, "We now have the grain borrowed from the big families nearby, but when the grain is finished, where can we get the grain again?"

Zhang Yang also heard that after he sent a grain loan team, some of the big families nearby immediately ran away when they heard the news. Now the grain storage is only enough to last for a period of time.

At the beginning, the purpose of the salt farm was because the salt farm was a treasure basin. With the salt farm, there was silver, silver, grain and so on. But now, Zhang Yang has turned most of the salt people into an army. Without salt people, who will boil salt? If you don't boil salt, how can you get money to buy food? With these words, Li Shanchang has always wanted to talk to Zhang Yang since he arrived at Baijuchang.

Zhang Yang listened to Li Shanchang's words and heard his questions. In fact, he had thought about this problem for a long time, but it had not been implemented.

Now, it's time to unify your mind. The problem of logistical support must be solved. The benefits of having a large number of people is that in addition to war, you also have to eat, thousands of mouths, and a meal, which is thousands of pounds of food.

"Why don't we fight down Xinghua City? There are many large households in Xinghua, which are much more than this remote place, which is enough for our military food for half a year." Shi Yi said.

"This definitely won't work. Our temporary strength is still very weak. We don't have that strength to attack those big cities now. At least, it's a matter of a few months later. Our first task now is to develop ourselves, prevent the counterattack of the Tutars, and firmly take root in the east of Xinghua. The big families here have been borrowed by us, and the big families have almost run. We have to solve the problem of food by ourselves.

"How do we solve it? Do you want it from the sea?" Shi Xin asked.

"Yes, that is, our old industry is selling salt, isn't it?" Zhang Yang asked. Now that we have two large salt farms, while we are training, we should let this salt farm operate normally as soon as possible, which will be our main source of income.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yang. Yes, didn't the salt farm at the beginning just want to make a profit from the salt farm?

"At present, our main work, in addition to developing the army as soon as possible, there are two more. One is to carry out activities to fight local tyrants and divide the fields in the area we have been able to control near the salt fields we occupy."

Fight the local tycoon and divide the field? This word is quite fresh, but there is a glimmer of light in Li Shanchang's eyes.

"These villages in the east of Xinghua have a total of thousands of hectares of land, but these lands are occupied by landlords. Farmers can only pay high rents to rent the land. However, if the grain fails, they can't even pay the land rent. For farmers, what they crave most is land." Zhang Yang analyzed: "If we want to achieve great things, we must have a good mass base. Why do farmers support us? Why did so many villagers come to us in just a few days? Because we hit the landlord on their heads!"

Although most of them are salt people, they also know about the lives of farmers. Farmers have worked hard for a year, and most of the harvest is handed over to the landlord, but they can't have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. Why can those landlords occupy so much land, but they have to be exploited by the landlords?

"We have driven away the large households nearby, and those lands have become uninhabited land. We first divide these lands to the nearby farmers according to five mu per person, and then all the farmers will support us!" Zhang Yang said.

For thousands of years, what is the most important means of production in feudal society? That's the land! With land, there is hope for life. The issue of the ownership of land is the most acute issue.

Now, Zhang Yang has said his plan: to give the land to the farmers, then they will spare no effort to support us!

Everyone has no doubt about this statement at all. In order to protect their land, these farmers are really willing to work hard with the big ones.

"For the time being, we are not suitable to attack big cities. We should first develop in the countryside. After accumulating enough capital, we can surround the cities in the countryside, and there are sparks everywhere!" Zhang Yang said.

"Will those farmers be so bold to divide the landlord's land? They are not afraid. Will the tars come back and kill them all? Bian Yuanheng carefully put forward his own opinion. In some villages, many people have joined their own teams, but there are also some villages that have not responded so far. Under the rule of the Tatars, many farmers have been scared to death. They would rather starve to death than have the courage to fight against the government.

"So, we should actively train the army. As long as the tars that will be invaded again, cleanly and completely eliminated, I believe that those farmers will follow us." Zhang Yang said. Good manager, spread our slogan first to see how the villagers nearby react.

"Yes, big brother." Li Shanchang really admired Zhang Yang's move. As long as those farmers divided the fields, they were tied to the same chariot as themselves and became a strong reserve force. Suddenly, he thought of it and said for a long time that the problem of grain and silver was still not solved!

Zhang Yang continued: "Second, that is, after our slogan is put forward, there will definitely be nearby exiles. Anyone who comes can be distributed to his fields or called to the salt farm to work."

With labor, it can be produced, which is Zhang Yang's plan.

"However, I think the general exiles must be willing to farm and not come to the salt farm to make salt." Shi Yi said, "After all, salt households are inferior. In everyone's hearts, there is already such an intuitive image."

"Therefore, we need to lift all kinds of household registration restrictions. If we are willing to farm, each person will be given five mu of land. If we are willing to come to the salt farm to work, we will be given 15 yuan a day. Those old salt households who didn't join our team pay 20 yuan a day. Zhang Yang said.

China has been an agricultural society for thousands of years, so they all like to buy land and be landlords, and what really makes money is still business and industry. Therefore, Zhang Yang wants to think about it and turn this concept around. Those who come to the salt farm to work earn more than farming.

Fifteen articles? Others are also stunned. A salt man, who boils salt for a year, is only a few hundred yuan. In this case, there are hundreds of yuan a month. However, in this case, can the salt farm make money?

Shi Xin first thought of this question: "Brother, if each person has 15 yuan a day, the salt farm will definitely lose money. Boiling salt is an extremely waste of manpower.

"I didn't say I wanted to boil salt. Now that the salt farm has been occupied, this backward salt cooking process should be eliminated. We use a new way, just a small number of people, which is enough."

Everyone opened their eyes wide. His big brother is really amazing. Is there a more suitable way to make salt than boiling salt? However, recalling the magic of turning coarse salt into refined salt, no one doubts that their eldest brother has this ability.

"Since we have occupied the salt field, we must turn it into our treasure basin!" Zhang Yang said, "In the near future, everyone's main task is to train the army and actively obtain intelligence. If the tars dare to come, we will resolutely destroy them! In our occupation and division of the fields, we get the support of farmers, recruit people, and prepare to restart the salt farm!"

Zhang Yang's words make everyone feel the glory ahead. Of course, all the prerequisites are to be able to fight a beautiful battle and eliminate the counterattacked tars.

As for the work of land division, Zhang Yang intends to hand it over to Li Shanchang to do, and the work of the salt farm is transferred back from the base to the third brother Shide. Uncle Liu is responsible for the purification of the coarse salt of the base. When your power grows again in the future, you can put the assembly line of coarse salt purification directly into the salt field, which will be more efficient.

When the tars will come and where the tars will come, but I'm not sure who will come. Zhang Yang can only adapt to all changes and try his best to prepare for battle. He has been busy with things here. I don't know how the base is going? Thinking of the base, Zhang Yang thought of Ruohan. At this moment, what is she doing on the island?

The base is already a busy scene everywhere.

Although Zhang Yang has begun to attack the salt field, most people in the base still don't know it. They are isolated from the world. Every day, they only know how to work, have food to eat, work, and have money to take.

The news is only known by a few people, Shide, Li Bosheng, Ruohan, Lu Xing, Uncle Liu. Last time, Shi Xinlai transported the built weapons and informed several of them by the way. They learned that Zhang Yang had killed hundreds of Mongolian tars who had invaded the killing port. Everyone was very excited. The only shortcoming was that they had never participated, especially Shi De and Li Bosheng. They had more important tasks to make money. Building weapons can't be delayed. Although they did not participate in the battle in person, their work indirectly supported the battle.

Therefore, they work more overtime and work harder, especially Lu Xing and Li Bosheng. The production of Tianque is directly related to the equipment of the team. They squeezed their craftsmen to the point where they were about to rebel: every day before dawn, they began to work with stars and torches. Every day, the sun had set early. I'm still knocking. Of course, I'm also well paid for working overtime, and I'm paid more than five yuan a day. Moreover, whoever has more finished products will be given a bonus. Under the stimulation of money, the waste rate has indeed decreased a lot.

In this way, the output of Tianque has reached the limit of eight per day, which is already overloaded.

In addition to Tianque, another 2,000 spears have been cast. This is relatively simple. Thousands of grenades have also been made, all of which are piled up in the warehouse, waiting for Zhang Yang to send someone to transport them away.

Shide and Uncle Liu, they also purified all the coarse salt into refined salt, but they found that their assembly line was going to be shut down! The skillful woman is difficult to cook without rice. The coarse salt has been used up, and if she wants to transport coarse salt again, the salt farm has been beaten down by Zhang Yang, but the coarse salt has not been shipped yet.

But people can't be idle. Shide trains all the workers on the production line. Since Bian Yuanheng left, he has also taken away a lot of the security forces of the base. Although it is blocked by dense reeds, the current base has almost become an undefended base, so He was a worker at ordinary times and a soldier in wartime. Shide asked these workers to pick up their spears and start training.
