Chapter 149 Envy
Luo Rucai watched the excitement of Xing Tianjun's craftsman's camp. Seeing a truck of coal and iron enter the craftsman's camp, there was another box of well-made weapons and piles of agricultural tools made by the craftsmen of the craftsman's camp and transported to all places controlled by the Xing Tianjun. He couldn't help but drooling all over the place.
Now he finally knows why Xiao Tianjian has developed to such a point in just a few years. Xing Tianjun is so good at managing territory. What this craftsman produces is the foundation of a strong army!
Thinking about how many years he has fought in the south and the north, but he has never built such a territory of his own. In the past, he wondered why Xing Tianjun could stand on the small Jinnan. Today, after he arrived here, he knew that Xing Tianjun did not only rely on buying people's hearts, but also on solid fighting. I laid down their foundation.
If only this place could be his! He also led his troops to Lushi County before, but at the beginning, he was only chased out by the officers and soldiers from Tongguan and passed through this place. He didn't expect that there were so much coal and iron here. If he had known earlier, how could it be Xiao Tianjian's turn to occupy here?
"Big head, this Xing Tianjun doesn't pay too much attention to us! The big head has also been here for more than two months, but the man surnamed Xiao has always turned a blind eye. He is so hungry and let us dry here. He doesn't give any armor. What's his intention? If you want me to say, the big head of the family will simply pull up another pole here, or leave here and pull down! I don't have to look at their faces!" A man who followed Luo Rucai also looked at the envious face of the craftsman who went in and out and said to Luo Rucai.
Luo Ru just turned his head and waved his hand and said, "You can't say that. Didn't the leader say it recently? During this period, their Xing Tianjun fought fiercely with the government in the area of Henan, and seized several states and counties in a row. At present, the front of the soldiers has reached the territory of Junzhou! So it's natural that Xiao is not free! We are now under their wings. At least they are still providing us with food and drink. Don't be full of slander!
Go? Where is it so simple? You should know that I have heard that the Eight King has been forced to surrender to the imperial court by Xiong Wencan at present. Now there are two dog officials, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanding, two dog officials, in Shaanxi. Wang Li Zicheng, has also recently fought with them in a series of defeats between Sichuan and Shaanxi. At present, Xiao Tianjian's Xing Tianjun is the only one who can fight against the government!
Let's go? Where can we go? Xiong Wencan sat in Xiangyang. Isn't it miserable that we lost in Yunyang? Can't go south or east? Didn't the fifth battalion of Gezuo just lose the battle between Kaifeng and Guide, and then ran back to Jiangbei? To Shanxi? Lu Xiangsheng's killing god is in Xuanda Shanxi Military Affairs. Is it still small for us to suffer losses in Xiezhou? Back to Shaanxi in the west? Where are Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting waiting for us?
It was only after we got here that we lived a stable life for a few days. Now that we leave, we will be destroyed by Xiong Wencan if we are not careful, so now we still have to look at his face under the eyes of his surname Xiao. Let's talk about it in a few days!
However, this junior is too arrogant. He has left me Luo here for so long. I'd like to see how he arranges us!
But on the other hand, I have to admit that his surname is Xiao is indeed a skilled person. He has grown up and grown to such an extent in just a few years. Look at their craftsman camp. If we also have such a craftsman camp, who in the world are we afraid of?
The falling general took another look at Xing Tianjun's craftsman's camp, and he was also envious to death. Suddenly, he whispered to Luo Rucai, "Why don't you think we take this opportunity to take this Lushi County and pull it down? In this way, don't we also have a foundation? Isn't this craftsman's camp ours?
After hearing this, Luo Ru was shocked and immediately looked around. Fortunately, it was his confidants who followed him, so he quickly turned his face and scolded the falling sky, "Shut up! Have you forgotten where this place is? How can I, Luo Ru, do such an unfaithful thing? Although Xiao Tianjian was a little slow to treat me, after all, we are running to him now. After all, he did not sit idly by and give us some grain every now and then. How can I, Luo, take advantage of him to fight with the government in front and take the opportunity to copy his back?
What's more, if we copy his back path according to what you said, how can this Xiao be ignored? You should know that this Xing Tianjun is not a vegetarian. Over the years, how many generals have been defeated by them? Once they turn against each other, will we be his opponents? You know, we only have three or four thousand brothers left now, and we can't beat him! Even if Lushi County can be snatched down, I'm afraid we can't keep it! In the end, you will still be kicked out! On the contrary, I offended a killing god again!
No one is allowed to mention such words in the future! Be honest with me. What you have done recently has been evil for Xing Tianjun. The local leaders here have complained to me a lot. You'd better restrain yourself! Don't bother me!"
After listening to this, the collapsed general quickly arched his hand and bowed his head and said yes, but his face was disapproving. He turned his head and said, "Isn't it just robbed a few big families? We haven't robbed a large family of 1,000 over the years. I'm afraid there are eight hundred. What's the matter with robbing a few more large households? Did they rob the Xing Tianjun less? I heard that when they hit Yongning, they copied hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the home of King Wan'an alone. On the other side of Shanxi, not to mention, when they hit Zezhou City, there were probably millions of taels of gold and silver copied! It's up to us now! On what basis?"
Luo Ru just shook his head and said, "That's all! The big family here should clean up. Xing Tianjun has already cleaned up. The rest is just small fish and shrimps, and they won't kill them all, right? At present, these large households under the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army have been attached to the Xingtian Army. It always makes no sense for you to rob and kill! If you can't be idle, you can take some brothers with you these days. You might as well go around Nanyang Mansion and eat some wild food! Don't look for trouble for me here!"
After listening to this, the falling general nodded and agreed, but he was asked to take people to Nanyang Mansion to eat. He didn't even think about it. I heard that since Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, surrendered, Zuo Liangyu of Huguang had led his troops to move to the Nanyang area. It is said that there are tens of thousands of troops. Where can he take people? Are you looking for death? So he would rather lie in Lushi County than fill such a big egg now!
After Luo Ru took people around, he drove towards them on the road. This time, he was also idle. He simply took a group of cronies to the north of Lushi County. What he saw along the way shocked Luo Ru.
In his impression, Lushi County was that the last time he passed here, although it was not a hundred miles of red land, it was basically dilapidated. A large amount of farmland had long been abandoned, and it was normal that dozens of miles were uninhabited. But this time he came here again, what he saw was another scene. A large number of abandoned land is now They have been reclaimed and planted with grain. Although it is now the cold winter, most of the farmland everywhere are full of green wheat seedlings. Even if the land where wheat is not planted, it has obviously been deeply ploughed in advance. This winter has accumulated enough snow water fertility. Grain can be planted immediately at the beginning of next spring, and autumn must be a good harvest.
And those villages that had been abandoned in large numbers have now returned to a vibrant scene. You can see the smoke in these villages from afar. This is extremely difficult to see in the mountains, Shaanxi and Henan at present. Although the people's clothes are still tattered, there are much less dishes. There is also a sense of satisfaction on his face. What surprised Luo Ru is that although it is not to say that it is not closed at night, the ground is also very stable. It is often seen that a large number of farmers in various villages, led by some soldiers of the Xingtian army, shouting to kill the sky in the village head of the martial arts practice team, there is such a place. Fang's armed forces, like those small thieves common everywhere, can't move here at all.
Such a scene shocked Luo Rucai and his party. The current scene of Lushi County, which is placed in Daming, is basically a paradise. They are a little confused. How capable Xiao Tianjian is to manage such a scene.
In their original consciousness, rising up a rebellion is nothing more than robbing large households, killing officials and gentry, gathering in the mountains and forests, and against the imperial government. It can be said that most of what they do is destruction, but they rarely consider construction. It is enough for them to eat for a few days. After eating it all, they will move towards the next goal. No one thought of staying in one place, waiting for the officers and soldiers to come and suppress them.
However, Xiao Tianjian is obviously very different from their approach. Xing Tianjun is obviously occupying a lot of land, operating a place, and then using the territory they occupy to feed their soldiers and horses. At the same time, he uses these obtained resources to continue to expand their territory. In this way, it is like a snowball. He became more and more powerful. First, he was in Jinnan, and now Xiao Tianjian led his troops to jump to Henan. What should he do next? Luo Ru thought to himself as he walked. As for Xiao Tianjian, he gradually began to underestimate him, but thought about what he had done during this period and felt a little too much. When he returned to his camp, he found a few generals and said to them, "We always go on like this here. That's the way. Do you think we should also move and go to Ruzhou to meet the man surnamed Xiao? ......”
And just after Luo Rucai led a few subordinates to the north of Lushi County to go back, several Xing Tianjun's detailed work relaxed, stopped tracking and monitoring them, and turned back to report this situation to their top peak.
