Burial Ming

Chapter 27 Different Reactions

Such a big thing happened on the boundary of Yangcheng. The officials in the local county government office in Yangcheng were not blind or deaf, and they soon learned the news.

Wang Jinsong, the magistrate, was basically indifferent after learning the news. The reason is very simple. Since he came to Yangcheng, he has not actually controlled the area of the southern part of Yangcheng County at all. Although when his new official took office, he also burned three fires, organized the local villagers, and invited one from Zezhou. He criticized the officers and soldiers and planned to catch all the huge thieves such as Zhao Datong and Xiao Changshan in the south of the county.

But it turned out that after several battles, these huge thieves were not wiped out. The officers, soldiers and villagers he sent were beaten by these giant thieves, and fled back to the county with repeated defeats.

The suppression of bandits several times not only did not solve the problem of bandits. The officers, soldiers and villagers who were responsible for suppressing were not much better than those thieves. Along the way, they also burned, killed and looted the local people. In addition, they often killed good deeds, so that the hearts of the people were greatly lost. The people who originally supported the government's suppression of bandits saw the officials. The army acted like this, so it simply turned to help the thieves to inform the news, which made the government's suppression of bandits more and more unfavorable. They were ambushed several times and fled back to the county.

Wang Zhixian, who suffered a great loss, first asked the governor of Shanxi to send more troops to suppress it, but because there were as many poles in all parts of Shanxi, there were such a similar poles in every state and county. The Shanxi Chief Secretary could almost be said to be irrepressible, so he did not pay attention to Wang Jinsong's request at all. Just reply and let him figure it out by himself.

If he can't ask for a large number of officers and soldiers, Wang Jinsong will be honest. Since these giant thieves have been here for a long time, why bother to destroy them? It can't be subjugized, and it also needs to damage the soldiers. If Xiang Yong and the officers and soldiers go out to work and die, they need to be given a pension. After a few battles, he owed a lot of debts, so he was not interested in continuing to do this kind of thankless work.

Anyway, this situation exists everywhere. The terrain of Yangcheng County is even more complicated, and then there is no certainty about suppressing bandits, so Wang Jinsong simply closed his eyes and let giant thieves such as Zhao Datong and Xiao Butchers continue to exist in the Yangcheng world.

As long as these poles are okay, don't make too much noise and come to hit his Yangcheng County, then they can do whatever they want in the mountains!

This time, I heard that there was a pole in the south of the county, killing Zhao Datong and Xiao butcher. Wang Jinsong just sneered a few times and said vulgarly, "Let them fight!" It's good to hit the dog's brain! We don't care about black food, as long as they don't disturb the county, what they like to do!"

With the tone of Wang Jinsong, the inspection in charge of local force naturally did not intend to take care of this matter. Everyone looked at this problem with the intention of watching jokes, but Wang Jinsong finally considered it, arranged the inspection in charge of local military equipment, and sent people to investigate the specific situation, and see if Zhao Da was killed on this road. The origin of the pole with Xiao Changshan is also so that you can know it well. Summarize the situation and report it to Zezhou Zhizhou.

But when they sent people to inquire about the news and came back, Wang Jinsong became a little nervous, because the people who were sent came back and said that there seemed to be a lot of people in Shaanxi who killed Zhao Datong and Xiao Changshan on this road. It should be about 2,000 people from Shaanxi. The number of people was about 2,000 people, and they entered the boundary of Yangcheng in several ways. Of.

"Shaanxi? How is this possible? We are thousands of miles away from Shaanxi. How can they cross the Yellow River and sneak here silently? What do the government eat along the way? How can you make them come here like this? Even if Wang Jinsong was confused, he couldn't believe that it was true. After asking several times in a row, the details sent out said that this matter could not be faked. It was indeed the pole of Shaanxi.

Wang Jinsong believed it a little, so after thinking about it, he immediately wrote a letter in person and sent someone to Zezhou Zhizhou. What should he do? Whether to send troops to suppress it or not is up to Zezhou Zhizhou will decide. Anyway, with the strength of his Yangcheng, he can't deal with such a big pole.

In this way, it is equivalent to adopting a permissive attitude towards Xing Tianjun's occupation of Yangcheng County. After Wang Jinsong reported this matter to Zezhou, Zezhou Zhizhou did not believe it at all. This matter was true. He thought it was Wang Jinsong, a magistrate in Yangcheng County, and wanted him to send soldiers and horses to suppress bandits in Yangcheng County. That's all.

In the past, he listened to Wang Jinsong's words and sent troops to suppress bandits in Yangcheng County several times. As a result, they all returned. Now when he mentioned Yangcheng County, he had a headache, so he simply put the ultimatum Wang Jinsong gave him on the desk and ignored Wang Jinsong's report at all.

On the other side, among the townships in the southern area of Yangcheng County outside the county, after the Anmin notice of Xing Tianjun was posted, the tide of escape was eased. Although the local people still do not believe whether the new strong man will act as they said, but think about it carefully, If they leave the homeland where they thought they had been born for countless generations just because of fear, many people are still reluctant to do so, so with the thought of walking, the people began to settle down and returned to their homes, waiting to observe the actions of the strong man.

Although Xing Tianjun has nominally found a foothold in Yangcheng County, this is only the first step for Xiao Tianjian, and everything is just the beginning. The next thing he has to face can be said to be as much.

After nearly a year of training, it is no longer a problem for his soldiers and generals to march and fight desperately, but it is really difficult for them to let them deal with civil affairs. After occupying the original control area of Zhao Datong and Xiao Butcher, in order to gain a foothold here as soon as possible, Xiao Tianjian Not daring to rest, they immediately sent their men to conduct a census in their local control area.

A few days later, he finally figured out the situation of their control area. Yangcheng County is located at the confluence of the three mountains of Taihang Shanxi Branch, Zhongtiao Shandong Branch and Zhongtiao Shandong Branch, and the area under their current control is roughly concentrated in the southern mountainous area of the county, bounded by the Huze River, which is basically their opportunity. The control area is about hundreds of square kilometers. On the surface, it should be not small.

Because most of this is mountainous, the main farmland is concentrated in the central and eastern part, and the area controlled by Xing Tianjun at present is basically in the south of Yangcheng County. Most of them are mountainous, and many places are not suitable for farming. Therefore, part of the main livelihood of the people living in this area used to be farming, and There are also many people who are hunters and make a living by hunting. Of course, there are also a considerable number of people who make a living by mining. In Yangcheng County, the most indispensable is coal mines. In addition, there are iron ores around Dongye Town. There are also some people who rely on mining in these mining sites in exchange for survival resources. The composition of the crowd can be said to be It is quite complicated, and it is precisely because there are many hunters here that there are many local bandits.
