Water Margin farming to become powerful

Facing the pursuit of the protective army, Wanyan Zonghan had no choice at all.Even the Dingping County in front of us must have sufficient troops and supplies, but Wanyan Zonghan did not dare to grab it.

What's even more troublesome is that the vanguard of the protection army will arrive soon.

Wanyan Zonghan gritted his teeth and decisively led the soldiers forward and continued to escape.

Another day later, the vanguard cavalry team of the protection army came to Dingping and saw the flag of the Supervisory Committee hanging in Dingping County. The leader of the cavalry regiment looked puzzled.

If you look closely, you will see that the flag is a little crooked, as if it was copied from a book with a very poor printing quality.

The eight-character slogan flag of the Protective Army was written by Sun Xin. Sun Xin's handwriting is not amazing, but at least it is neat and legible. However, the flag on Dingping County is written crookedly and irregularly, so forget it. The order of the eight-character slogan is actually arranged. opposite.

When I first saw the cavalry captain, I thought it was some kind of conspiracy tricked by the Jurchens.

However, the cavalry commander still ordered his soldiers to call the city.

After fighting all the way from Henan, these protective troops have now developed a strong confidence in their combat power. Although the Jurchens can fight, they do not dare to fight with them for a long time and can only fight and run.

Now they just want to chase the Jurchens. It would be a good thing if the Jurchens are all in the county. At worst, they can surround the county and wait for the follow-up reinforcements to arrive.

After asking around the city, the cavalry regiment got even more confusing information. Dingping County has actually been occupied by the Supervisory Committee?

The group leader even thought that he had printed the map wrongly, but all the cadres of the Supervisory Committee in the county swore that they were already the Supervisory Committee's territory, and even welcomed comrades to come and sit in the city.

The enthusiastic and down-to-earth look on his face made all the soldiers of the Protectorate feel at home, and it indeed felt like an organization of the Supervisory Committee.

Although the commander of the cavalry regiment was puzzled, his mission was to pursue and he could not stay here for a long time. So after bothering the cadres of the Supervisory Committee in the city to replenish drinking water, he led his cavalry regiment forward.

After another three days, the large force of the protection army finally arrived.

Zhu Biao, who had been promoted from captain of the Hongze Lake Supervision Committee to division commander of the Protection Army, came to Pizhou with his own brigade.

The purpose of coming here is to collect food.

Fighting all the way from Henan to Shaanxi, it was impossible for the protective army to carry so much food with them, so after entering Shaanxi, the local people were responsible for the logistics.

The Protectorate Army also collects food, but they pay more attention to methods and will exchange goods with the people.The goods used are none other than cotton cloth produced in Shandong.

This stuff is lighter than grain, and the guards brought a lot with them along the way. Especially after arriving in Liyang, they had the advantage of a port. Some of the cloth that was continuously shipped from Shandong was sold locally and given to Sister Gu's supervision. They can make money through trade, and the other part is directly used as military supplies for soldiers to take to the front line. At critical moments, a cotton-padded jacket is enough to replace food for several days.

Zhu Biao used to work in the Hongze Lake Supervisory Committee as a military cadre, but in fact he did most of the civil affairs work. The real battle he participated in was the siege of Xuzhou. After a few days of siege, it was changed to doing business. Now inside and outside Xuzhou Prefecture They are all businessmen who have business dealings with the Supervisory Committee. The Supervisory Committee speaks much better among the people of Xuzhou than the Song Dynasty officials.

Zhu Biao also accumulated a lot of experience in civilian work. Although he is now back in the army, he has been assigned an official position in charge of logistics. With his title of division commander, he is responsible for going to the countryside to collect food every day.

At first, it was very difficult to collect grain in Henan. The local people were greatly harmed by the Jurchens and they did not have enough food to eat.

However, the situation was much better in Shaanxi.

Wanyan Zonghan, who came here, had no time to harm the people. He was harassed by the North China Supervisory Committee behind him, and blocked by the Shandong Supervisory Committee on his way out of Shanxi. Compared with Wanyan Zongwang, who could show off his power in the early days, he had suffered a lot.

Therefore, people in Shaanxi are generally richer than people in Henan.

Zhu Biao's food collection work was also very easy.

Luan Tingyu's army heard that Wanyan Zonghan had fled towards Qingzhou, so they pursued him along the Malian River without stopping. When Zhu Biao arrived in Pizhou, he thought he would face other places that had been harmed by the Jurchens once. Likewise, there will be a mixed situation in front of us, with rebels rising everywhere, the remaining partial rule of the Song Dynasty government, and local powerful people besieging the village to protect themselves.The group he brought with him was to solve these problems.

But after arriving in Dingping County, Pizhou, Zhu Biao was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The gate of Dingping County was opened wide, and a group of guys dressed as militiamen lined up neatly. They even spontaneously tied a red cloth strip on their right hands, as if the maternity team had occupied the place.

Zhang Yin was seen standing out from the crowd, kneeling down with excitement on his face: "Comrade is here, my subordinate also loves the Supervisory Committee!"

Seeing this scene of shouting for comrades to kneel down and kowtow, all the cadres of the Protection Army Soldiers Supervisory Committee present were dumbfounded.

They had come all the way from Henan and had seen people who surrendered to the city, but they had never seen people call themselves comrades when they came up like this.

Zhu Biao realized what he was doing and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Your Excellency, this is what Dingping is?"

A man wearing the clothes of a Song Dynasty county official jumped out next to him: "This is the commander of our Dingping delivery team."

Zhu Biao was dumbfounded. This level was a bit high. How could a county be assigned the commander of the maternity care team?
"commander?"

At this time, Zhang Yin knelt down and kowtowed again, "At this critical moment, we villagers are unable to save ourselves, so we can only rely on the power of the Supervisory Committee. If not, Dingping would have been completely wiped out!"

At this time, not only Zhu Biao was dumbfounded, but even the Dingping County Magistrate beside him was dumbfounded.

Even several cadres under Zhang Yin were a little confused.

Among them were people who came out of the village with Zhang Yin and participated in the whole process of Zhang Yin's rise.

But after working for a long time, seeing Zhang Yin's sworn appearance, they themselves spread the rumors that Zhang Yin had connections in the Supervisory Committee. With such rumors, these people seemed to feel that they had more confidence and did more good things. good.

But when they heard Zhang Yin's words, they finally believed that Zhang Yin, like them, had nothing to do with the Supervisory Committee.

Zhu Biao probably also understood the situation here. He seemed to remember receiving a piece of information before, saying that there was a supervisory committee organization in Pizhou and that it had also helped the advancing cavalry regiment.

It looks like it's Zhang Yin and the others.

Zhu Biao found it funny that this thing was actually fake.

But out of caution, he just comforted Zhang Yin while sending people into the city to immediately take over Dingping.

That night, Zhu Biao held a secret meeting with his cadres, military officers, and representatives of protective party members.

"What do you think about Dingping?"

"Zhang Yin did a good job. He actually organized the people and scared away the Jurchens. Even if he is placed in the ranks of our Supervisory Committee, he can be considered a capable cadre."

"I'm not optimistic about him. His methods are quite crude. I have received more than a dozen papers in my hand, all of which were people accusing him of forcible marriage and robbery."

"This guy has been ruling Dingping County for ten days and has already taken in two new concubines. He claims that he took them in because he was helpless. But after careful questioning, it turns out that these two people were originally the daughters of wealthy families in the county."

Zhu Biao tapped his fingers on the table. What Zhang Yin and his men did were both good and evil, and it was really difficult to deal with.
