Horse on the World

Chapter 820 Chapter 810 Seven: Qingzhou Situation

Qingzhou, a war a few years ago caused Qingzhou to be deeply damaged. Unlike other places, Qingzhou has never recovered after being injured.After Mata took over the jurisdiction of Qingzhou from King Ning, [-] Qiang soldiers entered Qingzhou, and suddenly entered the colorful world of the Central Plains from the withered mountains. The eyes of these originally poor Qiang soldiers were immediately blurred.

Their eyes were blurred, and the people of Qingzhou suffered disaster.

Compared with the Central Plains, the Qiang people still had a relatively backward slavery system. After taking control of Qingzhou, these Qiang soldiers immediately regarded themselves as the masters of Qingzhou, and asked for whatever they wanted from the aborigines of Qingzhou. After another plunder by the Qiang soldiers, the severely injured Qingzhou people have fallen into extreme poverty.

The Qiang soldiers walked out of the mountains and became rich overnight. Everyone made a lot of money, but Mata didn't realize the far-reaching impact of this incident at the beginning. From his point of view, since he has acquired Qingzhou, he is naturally the owner of Qingzhou. The people, property, and wealth in Qingzhou are not his own, and according to the rules of the Qiang people, [-]% of the property brought by the Qiang soldiers must first be handed over to him. .

Peasant riots broke out one after another in Qingzhou, which could not be plundered. This made Mata exhausted and suppressed everywhere. Gradually began to intervene, and these people also suffered greatly from this plunder. The intervention of these people greatly strengthened the equipment of the rioting peasants. Mata began to reflect on his own situation and the next policy. Forced by the peasant riots, Mata began to win over the rich and powerful families in Qingzhou. After nearly a year of hard work, Qingzhou gradually calmed down. , but the seeds of hatred have been planted. The seemingly peaceful Qingzhou is actually like an active volcano accumulating energy, which may erupt at any time.

Similarly, Qingzhou is now also an important area for the activities of the Party Secretary and the Overwatch Council. The two forces are active here, and each holds some underground resistance forces in their hands. They secretly plan to overthrow Mata, but they confront each other, and frequent conflicts occur. .

After the Guoshanfeng Group defeated Xingzhou Zhoutong and forced Zhoutong to enter the defense, Guoshanfeng's threat to Qingzhou became more and more serious day by day. The border is eyeing, and they often attack Qingzhou. Relying on the advantages of the cavalry's maneuverability and fast movement, they beat Mata to the ground. Hooves!Li Feng slipped like a loach again, and Mata set traps several times, but under the close surveillance of the Qingzhou Supervisory Council, and in Li Feng's bold and careful fighting style, they all returned without success. , Often you lie in ambush in the east, but the Yizhou camp fights in the west.

Under strong pressure, Mata began to allow the local gentry in Qingzhou to organize a self-defense force, and the local gentry set up fortifications and fortifications to protect themselves. It was true that Li Feng's actions were suppressed to a certain extent, but the strength of the local forces increased greatly. After Mata took control of Qingzhou, these gentry who were suppressed miserably once they had strength in their hands, immediately began to plan their own future. They never agreed with Mata.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Overwatch Council and the Staff Party Division vigorously infiltrated these forces. It can be said that the various forces in Qingzhou are criss-crossed and entangled with each other.

Gufu County, Liang Family.

As the largest wealthy landlord in Gufu County, Liang Changfeng is also in charge of the self-defense force in Gufu County. A local armed force of about 3000 people is basically composed of the Liang family's children and his tenants, centered on the Liang family compound. , this local armed force actually controls almost two-thirds of Gufu County, but there are less than 500 Qiang soldiers stationed in Gufu County, and they can only control the county seat.It turns out that the Qiang soldiers here have now been transferred to the Qingqin border to deal with the pressure from Li Fengyi's camp in Dingzhou.Now that Mata controls Gufu, he actually has to go through the Liang family.

As for the Liang family, shortly after Mata took control of Qingzhou, they were instigated by the Dingzhou Supervisory Council.

The cause of the incident was that not long after the Qiang soldiers entered Qingzhou, the Liang family also suffered a lot. Although the family was rich and would not be ruined like ordinary people, it was still bleeding heavily.As a wealthy family in the Central Plains with a long history, they have a natural sense of repulsion and contempt for the Qiang soldiers from the mountains, but now they are bullied by barbarians in their eyes. Naturally, they are not convinced, but they have no soldiers in their hands. He didn't express his anger, but the patriarch Liang Changfeng knew very well that without the intervention of external forces, even if the Liang family was rich, it would be difficult to achieve success.Began to actively seek out assistance and backing.

It was at this time that the Overwatch Council approached Liang Changfeng.At this time, Li Qing's arrogance in Dingzhou was gradually revealed, Dingzhou's power was rapidly expanding, and Dingzhou's troops were in full swing. This also gave Sun Changfeng an opportunity. The two hit it off, and Liang Changfeng became a member of Dingzhou.

With the development of the situation, Liang Changfeng began to form the Liang's army in the name of protecting the local area and suppressing the mob. Although the formation of the local self-defense force was approved by Mata, Mata would not arm them with an army. You can form an army, but You have to raise money, food and weapons by yourself, and at the same time, Mata will send a supervisor to monitor the army.

Liang Changfeng is not worried about money and grain. As the largest landlord in Gufu, he is not bad for these things, but weapons are not enough. At this time, not to mention steel, even pig iron is also a controlled material. The folks are not allowed to mine iron ore to smelt pig iron and fine iron Yes, and Mata's own troops lack good weapons, let alone armed in these places.

At the beginning of the formation of the army, the main weapons of this self-defense force were iron forks, hoes, and more often cut wood into guns.

At this time, the power of the Overwatch Council began to show. Through secret channels, a large number of weapons eliminated in Dingzhou were sent to Gufu in batches to arm the Liang's army. After two years, the Liang's army swelled to 3000 people What makes the surrounding forces even more amazed is that this army has achieved that everyone has leather armor, and the generals have iron armor. However, Liang Changfeng's 300-member personal guard actually wears chain mail, although this is among the regular troops. It is nothing, but among these local forces, it is rare to see.Liang Changfeng immediately became one of the most influential people in Qingzhou.Of course, in this army, the Dingzhou Supervisory Council mixed a lot of sand into it, and dozens of Dingzhou grassroots officers changed their appearances and joined this army, responsible for the military training of this army and the imparting of combat knowledge.

Of course, in Qingzhou, there is also the Ge family in Gaolan County with such power. Armed with thousands of people.

Liang Changfeng welcomed a guest when it was getting dark. As soon as Liang Changfeng entered the door, he knew that this person must have a very high status in Dingzhou, because the Dingzhou Supervisory Council who had been in touch with him was in Qingzhou. The person in charge didn't even dare to take a breath in front of this person, and followed him respectfully and step by step.

"This is Mr. Ji Sichen, the deputy director of the Dingzhou Supervisory Yuan!" Liang Changfeng was startled when he heard the person in charge of the Qingzhou branch of the Supervisory Yuan introduce the identity of the newcomer.Sure enough, he is an out-and-out big shot. When these kind of people come to Qingzhou, something big must happen. Could it be that Dingzhou is going to launch an attack on Qingzhou? Wang Jizhan, from various sources, it seems that the situation in Dingzhou is not very good. King Ning's hundreds of thousands of troops poured into Weizhou, and Dingzhou's army retreated steadily. Now they only control the limited area around Weizhou City. , This gave Liang Changfeng a bad feeling, and he was even considering whether to cut off contact with the other party. Although Dingzhou has infiltrated his army, these people have always been under his surveillance. With an order, these people can be wiped out.

"I've met Mr. Ji!" Liang Changfeng bent his knees and was about to fall to his knees. Ji Sichen smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Mr. Liang, don't be too polite."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sides formally cut into the topic, "I don't know if Mr. Ji took the time to come to Gufu, what advice do you have?" Liang Changfeng personally brought hot tea to Ji Sichen.

Ji Sichen smiled slightly, slowly picked the froth on the tea, took a few sips, put down the teacup, and said, "Now our army is fighting fiercely with King Ning in Weizhou. I don't know what Master Liang thinks about this war?"

Liang Changfeng was startled, looked at the other party's half-smile face, and said hesitantly: "Although it seems unfavorable at the moment, but with the bravery of our Dingzhou Army, there should be no danger, and we will definitely win the final victory."

Ji Sichen took a deep look at him, "I heard that Mr. Liang's army has some opinions on this matter, there are many discussions, and the army's morale is not stable!"

Liang Changfeng shook his hand, and the tea in the teacup almost spilled out. He had discussed this matter with several core members of the Liang family, and discussed whether he should continue to follow the Dingzhou Army, because the debate was fierce and no final conclusion was reached. Hearing the tone of the other party, it seemed that he understood the matter very clearly, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.The opponent in Liang's army is not just communicating with him, they also have other chess pieces.

Ji Sichen saw the flashing eyes of the other party, but as if nothing had happened, he reached out and brushed the dust off his clothes, stroking his long beard, and said word by word: "I came here to tell Mr. Liang A message."

"I don't know what the news is that Mr. Lao Ji is going to go there in person?" Liang Changfeng settled down, since the other party dared to come here alone, he must have a fight, otherwise, with the identity of such a person, how could he put himself in danger.

"A few days ago, my lord Dingzhou led tens of thousands of troops across the vast sea, captured Quancheng and Yingcheng in one fell swoop, and cut off the retreat of more than [-] troops from the southern army Hu Zequan, Lan Yu, Zeng Yifan, and Xu Sichen. All the elites from the state marched into Weizhou, and together with General Tian Feng's two armies launched a counterattack against the southern army."

With a whoosh, Liang Changfeng stood up abruptly.
