"Kneel and don't kill!"
Outside a large village in Nanjingzhou, hundreds of people were chasing and killing their opponents with various weapons in their hands at this time.
Li Liang coldly watched the enemy kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, so he ordered: "Clear the goods, grain and grass, and take all the prisoners away." ” "Yes."
It was only half an hour, all the belongings, grain and grass were loaded into the car, and the brigade immediately drove the captives away from this uninhabited Zhuangzi.
"My lord, where are we going next?"
At this time, Li Liang's command had swelled to more than 3,000 people, plus all kinds of prisoners, almost tens of thousands.
And those prisoners who escaped from Jiaozhou Mansion became his team.
"Yesterday, the Ming people were only more than ten miles away from us, so we can't stay, leave immediately!
Go to Tan Binh Chau. ” Li Liang's judgment has never been missed, which is one of the reasons why he is deeply admired by everyone.
So the long procession set off again, but before they had gone a few miles, the scouts who had dragged behind came running with a frightened face to report: "My lord, the Ming army has caught up." ” "How many?
How many cavalry?
” Li Liang's calmness gave everyone some comfort, but the scout's report made these emotions dissipate without a trace.
"My lord, there must be at least tens of thousands, and the cavalry is almost 2,000."
Li Liang looked at the captives with pity, and finally made up his mind: "Leave the captives, and the excess baggage is also left, let's leave quickly!"
” The team of more than 3,000 people, with a little baggage, suddenly became faster.
But some people don't quite understand Li Liang's behavior.
"Why don't you bring more captives?
We'll have more people that way!
” "Those are rich people and their descendants, but my lord said, we are just trying to survive in this troubled world, and we are not in the same group as those ambitious wealthy families."
"Hurry up, the adult naturally has his considerations, think about it yourself, if there were no adults, we would have turned into white bones long ago!"
"Yes, the adult has read the book, let's listen to him." “……” Li Liang left, and the baggage left in place made the captives start to fight among themselves, and they saw that a big battle was about to be staged, but the sound of horses' hooves made everyone's hearts half cold.
"Get on your knees!
Everyone get on their knees!
Otherwise, there will be no mercy!
” The cavalry were very experienced in circling the captives, beating back with sticks those who tried to escape.
Seeing that the cavalry did not go on a killing spree, the captives also knelt on the ground honestly, and let these Ming soldiers count their baggage.
Wu Yue's thousand households have now become cavalry, but the horses are a little messy, and there are even donkeys riding.
This time, Fang Xing sent Wu Yuebu, and Fang Zheng took out thousands of people, led by the commander Wang Du, and caught up with Li Liang who was robbing his house all the way.
Wang Du looked at those burdens and couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, it's uncle, this is a last resort!"
” Wu Yue looked at Zhuangzi not far away, and said leisurely: "When the guard post arrives, these captives will be our army, and then Jiaozhi will not have to work hard to run grain and grass from the Central Plains." ” …… Fang Xing, who returned to Jiaozhou Mansion, had already received two batches of various supplies from the southbound army, and these grains, grasses and goods would be an important part of his next plan.
"Can we stop for a while?"
Fang Xing and Huang Fu were deliberating, and only Wang He was there as an overseer.
Huang Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "Dehua, this matter is not easy to handle!"
” Fang Xing always has an infectious energy in his body, which can make the people he wants to get close to change their attitudes unconsciously.
As soon as the title changed, the two of them were a lot more casual, Fang Xing leaned on the chair and thought for a while: "Ru Xigong, those salt merchants are running Jiaozhi, I'm afraid they don't make much profit, right?"
” "It's not much, but opening China and France is the lifeblood of salt merchants, unless the Ming Dynasty can trade salt, otherwise those salt merchants are reluctant to let go."
Fang Xing had seen salt merchants in Yangzhou Mansion, and he was not a stranger.
Jiaozhi has been repeated, so those salt merchants do not dare to pay grain on the spot, and the high cost of transferring from the Central Plains makes people's hearts bleed.
"Now is the time for Shangtun, so let's take a look at the attitude of the salt merchants."
Less than an hour later, several salt merchants' stewards came to the Yamen of the Chief Minister, and only one salt merchant came in person.
"Little Chen Mo, I've seen my uncle, I've seen an adult."
Different from the sneers of other salt merchants, Chen Mo's honest appearance made Fang Xing wonder if he was hiding a traitor inside.
"Get up."
Huang Fu said in a low voice: "This Chen Mo is an honest man, so he personally sent it every time, and then rushed back to get the salt." ” Fang Xing bowed slightly, and then handed over the scene to Huang Fu.
"I asked you to wait this time, just to ask about Shangtun, are you willing?"

After Huang Fu finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and didn't look at these stewards, everyone had dealt with each other many times, and they were very clear about each other's thoughts.
Sure enough, as soon as these stewards heard that they wanted to discuss it, they immediately began to talk nonsense.
"My lord, my lord is not here, and the little one doesn't dare to call the shots!"
"My lord, wait for the little one to write a letter, and wait for my lord's decision?"
The third steward was about to vomit bitterness, Fang Xing slapped the table, and then said lightly: "Since you don't want to, then it's okay, don't regret it in the future, if you are willing to stay, if you don't want to, leave immediately!"
” Those stewards were secretly overjoyed when they heard this, but they still had scruples about rejecting Fang Xing and Huang Fu's troubles, and they were reluctant to leave.
Huang Fu couldn't help but shout: "This official has never put a trap on people, don't pretend, go!"
” The stewards of the salt merchants were gone, and they did not dare to take risks until Jiaozhi was completely settled, preferring to make less money by transiting.
But that Chen Mo didn't leave, but bowed down and said, "The little one is willing to go to Shangtun." ” Fang Xing and Huang Fu glanced at each other, and then asked, "But voluntarily?"
” Chen Mo smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from the uncle and the adult, if you continue to transfer like this, the small one won't be able to hold on." ” "Good!"
Fang Xing said appreciatively: "Dare to take risks, Ben Bo and Lord Huang really didn't look at the wrong person." ” Huang Fu also stroked his beard and smiled: "The northern part of Jiaozhi has been swept by His Royal Highness the King of Han once, and in the south, my Ming officers and soldiers are closely chasing those rebels, and it is not far from time for the whole territory of Jiaozhi to be pacified!"
” Chen Momu said: "The small one is also the last try, if it doesn't work, then go home and change careers." ” "I can't lose you!"
No matter what Fang Xing said, he would set a benchmark, and as the first supporter of Shangtun, Chen Mo was blessed.
Huang Fu also encouraged: "You go and see, except for those places where you want to grow sugar cane, you can boldly circle it." ” Chen Mo also comprehended his good luck a little, and he couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Adult, but the small ones don't have so many people!"
” "Manpower?"
Fang Xing chuckled and said, "I have captured a lot of prisoners in several battles, and there will be more in the future, you can pay for it." ” Some people have land, although it can only be in the north for the time being, but it can easily grow twice a year!
Where can Chen Mo still sit still, he hurriedly said goodbye, and prepared to write back immediately, asking the family to prepare more manpower and money.
