Chapter 107 Extortion
Soon, several Zhuangzi's gentry who were involved in this matter received a letter that surprised them. The letter was shot into their Zhuangzi with bows and arrows from outside the village in the middle of the night, and it was in the hands of these gentry before dawn.
After opening the letter in horror, what they saw was a content, which was roughly to tell them how unwise it was that they took the initiative to provoke Xing Tianjun this time. Xiao Da was very unhappy, and the consequences would be very serious! And also told them that many of their Zhuangding Xiangyong are still locked in Tianlongzhai, asking them to stop delusions. If they don't want Zhuangzi to be cleaned up by Xing Tianjun in the future, and they still take into account their Zhuangding's life, they will quickly take out the money and food and send it to Tianlongzhai as compensation for Tianlongzhai. Xing Tianjun and their accounts can be counted for the time being, and they can also release their Zhuang Ding.
If these people are obsessed with it, then the lives of these Zhuang Ding will be over, and the account will be liquidated by them at any time, so that they can think about where to go. In addition, each family has been warned not to follow the old bastard of Lijiazhuang so close in the future, and listen to his command, otherwise Let them bear their own consequences!
At the same time, it also set an amount of compensation for each family. Grain, silver, iron, cloth, cotton, leather, pigs and sheep and other things pulled a list for them, so that they have a bottom line in their hearts. They can prepare it within seven days and send it to Tianlongzhai and give it to Xing Tianjun. As for the end, they will go by themselves. Think about it!
These big families are like ants baked on a hot pot. After receiving this letter, they first breathed a long sigh of relief, and then they were dying of pain, because the amount of these materials that Xing Tianjun wanted made them a little unbearable. Some people scolded, claiming that they were not a big son. It will be given to Xing Tianjun, and some people immediately began to calculate, arrange manpower to prepare all kinds of materials according to the price offered by Xing Tianjun, and prepare to spend money to eliminate disasters.
These large families can run such a large family business, and no one is stupid. Naturally, this reason is clear. During this period, the ground in Shaanxi is unstable, and a large number of officers and soldiers are encircling and suppressing large numbers of people in the land of Shangluo. They have no time to take care of their small poles in the Yanyang area, and they have the largest farms at present, okay? It was easy to organize a team that had been suppressing bandits. As a result, it was suddenly disabled by Xing Tianjun. If he wanted to organize strength to fight against Xing Tianjun, he had no strength.
At present, Xiao Yixu, the palm plate of Xing Tianjun, must have also seen this point. He knows that they have no other way to choose from. After this battle, Xing Tianjun will definitely be famous in this area. There will be many defectors. It won't be long before their strength will rise sharply. If they don't buy it. I'm afraid the pig's brain can figure out what will happen next.
So smart people have to do smart things. They have lived here for all generations. They have nowhere to go if they want to run away from the family business. They can't abandon the big family business and run away by themselves! Instead of waiting for Xing Tianjun to drive to their door and flatten their Zhuangzi. At that time, the family will still be robbed of the Xiao Yi axe. It's better to be obedient now. According to Xing Tianjun's requirements, although the meat hurts to death, it's better to buy it honestly. Buy a short-term peace first, and wait for later. After the government wiped out the big poles, the government came to calm down the Xing Tianjun's anger!
Even the two big people who refused to bleed at the beginning, after figured out the truth, they had to submit. What's more, many of them are either their tenants or relatives. If they don't take money to redeem people, who will cool the rest of Zhuang Ding's heart in the future? Take care of them! So no matter how painful it is, they can only eat their teeth and blood into their stomachs! Who made them not open their eyes at the beginning, listened to the Li Laowang Ba's incess, and then coaxed. Now the retribution is coming. Who is complaining about?
However, these people also saw that this time, Xing Tianjun and Li Fengtian were in a desperate fight. They will definitely not spare that Li Fengtian. I'm afraid the Li family will be in trouble, and they can't avoid anything this time!
Because this matter was caused by Li Fengtian, these families were harmed by him. The families of this matter coincidentally wrapped up. No one told Li Fengtian about this matter, and they quietly began to arrange to prepare all kinds of materials and transport them to Tianlong Village.
After this battle, Xing Tianjun suddenly became the most eye-catching force in the area of Fengxiang Mansion. After getting the news, the large families within dozens of miles around him were shocked, and the smart man immediately took action. If he had nothing to do, he also found a nod and took the initiative to prepare a gift. I sent someone to Tianlongzhai with a cart, so that I wanted to buy a safe one first, and then wait for Xing Tianjun to come to me.
And the large households involved in the attack on Tianlongzhai, after receiving the letter written to them by Xiao Tianjian, also began to load all kinds of materials to Tianlongzhai.
Originally, Tianlongzhai was just a remote place. A few days later, several roads leading to Tianlongzhai gradually became lively. Vehicles with money and food gathered in the direction of Tianlongzhai one after another, and a large number of drifters also walked towards Tianlongzhai for no other reason, just because Recently, Tianlongzhai released the news that it was going to set up a porridge shed outside the village to help the disaster victims. After hearing the news, these exiles, in order to linger, could not care about anything, dragged sticks and began to run towards Tianlong Village one after another.
If you are in good health, you can walk all the way to Tianlongzhai and get a mouthful of porridge to drink. Some people who are in poor health will starve to death directly on the roadside. After hearing about this, even some people who are a hundred miles away rushed over.
And Xing Tianjun did not go up with his promise. He set up several large porridge sheds outside Tianlongzhai. Every day, he took out a batch of grain, boiled them into porridge, and distributed them to those who arrived. For a moment, the vicinity of Tianlongzhai almost became a downtown. There were a lot of floating people sitting and lying all over the mountains. Some people simply set up huts. I lived near here and lived on two meals of porridge a day every day. By the way, I dug some wild vegetables on the nearby mountains to make up for it. I didn't worry about starving to death for a short time.
Moreover, Xiao Tianjian sent Jin Fuzi to take Luo Yingjie and set up a special reception outside the cottage to accept all kinds of materials sent by the blackmailed big family. He didn't even let them in at all. After collecting things, he took out their captured Zhuang Ding from the cottage and handed them away. Of course, the quantity is up to Xing Tianjun, and that's how much!
Some Zhuangding was originally recruited from these large households from the exiles. After being captured in this war, some people were alone. They thought that they would still be a Zhuangding guardian when they went back. There was no future, and this Xiao was very powerful. Maybe when they would repair these. The big family will die ugly if they meet Xing Tianjun at that time, so these people don't want to go back. At the instigation of the Xing Tianjun group, they directly chose to stay and join the gang. Therefore, a small number of villagers among these prisoners became members of the Xing Tianjun, but most of them are still large because there are old and young people in their families. In the village, he didn't dare to wade through the muddy water, so he chose to leave and followed the people from his own village.
Only those captured officers and soldiers and the people of Lijiazhuang lived a worried life in Tianlongzhai every day. They looked at the villagers of other villages all day and were constantly taken away and released, but they could only watch, not knowing what they could end up in the end.
The days of officers and soldiers are not bad. They have two meals a day, and there are vegetable porridge and a mixed noodle cake to eat. They are not too hungry if they don't have enough to eat. They can still walk around every day. According to the instructions of the soldiers who escorted them by the Xing Tianjun, they can do a little work, and the days can be dealt with, but the treatment of those prisoners of those Lijiazhuang are far different. A meal of porridge a day is so thin that they can't even eat a mixed-faced cake. They don't have to work, but everyone is tied to the logs and can't move. They eat, drink and sleep next to the log, making them smell bad around them, and their hungry eyes are green.
This is because Li Jiazhuang slaughtered Xing Tianjun's old camp last time and colluded with the government to suppress Tianlongzhai. Xing Tianjun hated the people of Lijiazhuang to the bone, so even if Xiao Tianjian did not order them to treat them like this, Jin Fuzi, who was in charge of logistics, was not in a good mood to serve them. A meal of porridge a day was already counted. Okay, according to what some people mean, they don't even give them porridge, and they starve to death.
These dozens of Zhuang Ding of Lijiazhuang have this despair in their hearts! Everyone thought that their master was full. Why did they have to provoke this Xiao if they had nothing to do? After a few days, these people were tortured so that they were not even in shape, and they collapsed on the ground and cried without tears.
Xiao Tianjian stood on the top of the village gate and looked at the busy scene everywhere. He looked up to the sky and sighed. This day was really full and a little too much. It was difficult to take a breath!
Since this war, Xing Tianjun has become famous, and there has been an endless stream of people who have come to defect. He has also brought a steady stream of news from the outside world, which has made him get a lot of useful information. Others are easy to say. For example, news such as the Great Drought in Shanxi Province, Xiao Tianjian is not in the mood to pay attention to it for the time being. What he is most concerned about the like The matter of Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.
Judging from the various news brought by outsiders, he can be sure that the rebels from all walks of life have begun to return to Shaanxi in large numbers under the containment of Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces. At present, although they are not clear about their specific location, it can be roughly analyzed that they should basically be in In the Shangluo area at the junction of Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang and Sichuan, and the officials and soldiers of various provinces are also being mobilized in this area under the dispatch of Chen Qiyu.
Looking back on the memory of this period of history in his mind, Xiao Tianjian is more sure that the chaos in Shaanxi is in front of him. Chen Qiyu still can't solve Gao Yingxiang's problems this time. As long as Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng rush out of the carriage gorge, they will immediately attack Shaanxi. In the western hinterland, I'm afraid that his life will come to an end, but because of his limited memory, he can't remember when Gao Yingxiang and others got out of the carriage, so now he must seize the time to enrich his strength.
