Blood from Daming

Chapter 650
On the same day, which was the sixth day of July, Xue Yun was in his yard with Yu Wanqin, Ao Lan, Lian Zi, and Miss Jiang. Tomorrow, Xue Yun would lead the Xue family army north to the Datong Special Economic Zone. Let Xue Yun enjoy the family warmth before leaving.

However, Ao Lan and Lian Zi knew Xue Yun's true intentions. Apart from avoiding Cao Wenzhao, the new commander-in-chief of Datong Town, the biggest secret was to meet Na Muzhong, the concubine of Chahar in private. Lan and Lianzi are sour, but this is not what the two concubines can express. They just secretly pray that Na Muzhong will not come to Datong's side wall.

Only Yu Wanqin and Ms. Jiang didn't know the details, especially Yu Wanqin was worried that her younger brother Yun would suffer and suffer, and she had been obedient to Xue Yun all day long, allowing Xue Yun to take advantage of it. Feeling sorry for my younger brother, I might give my body to younger brother Yun.

In the afternoon, Yang Zhenlei came and told Xue Yun that most shopkeepers of the Hangzhou caravan were willing to handle the goods in Datong City. Although the Xue family bid was the lowest, half of the goods were sold, but the Xue family's Datong Mansion had enough goods. In the short term, you can make up [-]% of the goods with the merchants you trade with yourself. These low-priced goods make these merchants more profitable than those who sell high prices. The [-]% gap can be replenished in Datong or exchanged with [Sanjiang Huitong].

That night, Xue Yun chatted with Yu Wanqin and the others for a long time, but Yu Wanqin couldn't help it, and drove Xue Yun, Ao Lan, Lian Zi, and Miss Jiang to the next room, and had a good time around the four of them. The woman is so generous, she pretended to refuse for a while, and then followed suit, and held an open meeting with Ao Lan, Lian Zi, and Miss Jiang.

The seventh day of July is the once-a-year Tanabata Festival between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the sky. According to Xue Yun, it is "Valentine's Day". But this cowherd is not dedicated, so he went to meet the Mongolian Weaver Girls again.

This time Xue Yun was accompanied by Wang Erwa's 100 elite soldiers, but Wang Erwa stayed behind to assist Xue Liu, Yan Laoyao's more than 400 horsemen, 500 soldiers from the Firearms Battalion, and [-] cavalry from Xue Liu's Department. And [-] soldiers of the pro-barracks, a total of more than [-] horses.

Xue Yun bid farewell to Yu Wanqin, Ao Lan, Lian Zi, Miss Jiang, escorted by Xue Liu, Yang Zhenlei, and Wang Erwa, and left the Qingyuan Gate, the west gate of Datong City. And more than 160 carts full of supplies went to the special economic zone for gold panning.

Because of the delicate situation of the Xue family army, the officials of Datong City did not come to see Xue Yun off. After Xue Yun broke up with Xue Liu, Yang Zhenlei, and Wang Erwa, he led 160 soldiers and [-] carts of luggage. The team, more than [-] carts filled with supplies from Hangzhou businessmen, marched mightily towards the Datong Special Economic Zone.

Speaking of which, Xue Jiajun went to the special economic zone to support, but in fact, they went to deliver supplies to Harijula. Of the 250 carts in the supply camp, 160 were supplies from Mongolia, that is, the more than [-] carts full of supplies , more than a hundred of them are from the Xue family, but they are borrowed to sell goods in the special economic zone and send the materials to the side wall.

With these more than 400 carts, the army led by Xue Yun basically crawled like a snail. Fortunately, Xue Yun didn't have the string of war in his heart. He stopped and stopped along the way, and it was getting dark. After arriving at Leigong Mountain, Xue Yun looked a little depressed. Although he set off late today, he only walked for twenty miles, so he couldn't justify it.

The army continued to advance for a certain distance, and set up camp in the north of Leigong Mountain. The Xue family army and the soldiers of the guards were fine. In a mess, Xue Yun lamented that his Datong and Hangzhou caravans were also poorly trained.

Yan Lao Yao leaned in front of Xue Yun and said, "General, with this marching speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the special economic zone tomorrow."

Xue Yun sighed and said, "At least there is no war, so let's go slowly."

Not long after, Xue Jiajun started dinner, and the peasants in Hangzhou were still busy. Xue Yun was really irritable. After dinner, he forced himself to sleep in the tent. So he called Yan Laoyao and asked him to supervise the brigade to go to the special economic zone, and he led his own soldiers and a thousand cavalry first.

In July of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, in Shaanxi, the drought became more and more serious, famine and epidemics prevailed, and more and more people died. It has reached the point where the vegetation is exhausted and people cannibalize people. , Relief victims, on the contrary, increased the distribution of taxes such as "new salary" and "equal loss", and strictly ordered officials at all levels to supervise them.

This suddenly pushed the people of Shaanxi to a desperate situation. Tax resistance and tax evasion abounded everywhere, and small-scale riots began to appear. Zhong Guangdao and others gathered hundreds of victims and rushed into Chengcheng County to kill Zhang Douyao, the county magistrate regardless of the life and death of the hungry people, thus opening the prelude to the civil uprising in Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty
After Wang Er, Zhong Guangdao and others killed the magistrate Zhang Douyao, a temporary army formed by the victims, armed with knives, guns, axes, axes, hoes and sticks, painted their faces with ink to hide their eyes and ears, attacked the official warehouse in Chengcheng County, and then opened the warehouse to loose grain to relieve the hungry people In the next few days, Wang Er recruited soldiers by robbing the rich and helping the poor in Chengcheng County. Before the encirclement and suppression by the Shaanxi government army, Wang Er led more than 1000 half-civilian and half-armed peasant troops to leave Chengcheng County.

The ridiculous thing is that officials in northern Shaanxi had to report that after Zhang Douyao, the magistrate of Chengcheng County, was killed and the city was broken, they turned a deaf ear for fear of being blamed by the court. Expanded, the team moved to the counties in the Weibei mountainous area, and the momentum of attacking towns and seizing villages was huge. In just over one month, the team gathered 6000 to [-] people, but this is all for later.

Only Xue Yun had a vague idea of ​​what happened in Shaanxi. Xue Yun was in a hurry to see Hari Zhula and Na Muzhong. Apart from relieving the pain of lovesickness, he was going to go to Gao Guiying in Mizhi where Hari Zhula was. A batch of live meat will be in chaos next year in Shaanxi, and it will be even more difficult to send grain and meat to remove rice fat than climbing Huashan Mountain.

Xue Yun arrived at the special economic zone in the afternoon. The one in charge of the defense of the special economic zone was the Xue Family Army's one thousand firearms soldiers, and the Datong Guards' one thousand household battalion. Battalion a general banner, stay in Datong city.

Liu Hui was five miles south of the special economic zone to welcome his chief, General Xue Yun. Xue Yun knew Liu Hui well. He was a firearms soldier Xue Yun recruited after he came to Datong. With no fear on his face, he is one of the best fighters in the firearms battalion.

His position as a thousand-year-old was bought with more than a dozen scars on his chest, and he is a fanatical admirer of Xue Yun. The Xue family army has a group of middle and lower-level officers like Liu Hui. They only have General Xue Yun in their eyes, except for General Xue Yun. Besides, not to mention the emperor's ministers, even the heavenly king Jade Emperor would not give a fuck.

Liu Hui shouted excitedly: "General, hello."

Xue Yun said: "Mr. Liu Qian, you have worked hard."

Liu Hui said hastily: "General, don't worry, the last general will lead his soldiers to take you to the special zone."

Xue Yun looked at the three hundred soldiers brought by Liu Hui and knew that Liu Hui's mobile troops were not many. Xue Yun used to control the south of the side wall, and Harijula ​​controlled the north of the side wall. He didn't feel that the number of troops in the special economic zone was important. Now The whole of Shaanxi is in chaos, and the special economic zone will become fat in the eyes of some people who don't know what to do. Xue Yun feels that the defense of the special economic zone is a bit weak.

Xue Yun said: "Mr. Liu Qian, do you feel that your troops are weak in defending the special economic zone with the Guards Army?"

Liu Hui said: "General, the special economic zone is really bigger, but there are still two or three hundred government servants, businessmen have bodyguards, and the cavalry of the Sixth General is nearby. There have been no major incidents in the past two years."

Xue Yun said: "There is a severe drought in Shaanxi this year, and there are a lot of bandits gathered together. It's hard to guarantee that these people won't make plans for the special economic zone. You need to be more thoughtful."

Liu Hui said: "General, from today onwards, we will strengthen surveillance in the direction of Shaanxi, and make sure that the special economic zone is as stable as a rock."

Xue Yun was very pleased to hear Liu Hui's words, so he said to him: "Mr. Liu Qian, this general will strengthen the military strength of the special economic zone. If the situation in Shaanxi becomes more and more serious, Datong Prefecture will consider canceling this special economic zone."

Liu Hui was taken aback and said, "General, this special economic zone is a cash cow. It's a pity to withdraw it."

Xue Yun said with a smile: "The general just said that the special economic zone here will be revoked, and he didn't say that it will not be established in other safe places."

Liu Hui said apologetically, "General, the last general doesn't know well."

Xue Yun said: "Mr. Liu Qian, there are not many people in the Xue family army who are as generous as you. Otherwise, this general would not put you in a special economic zone where money is dealt with. Do you understand what this general means?"

Liu Hui bowed with joy when he heard this, and said, "Little General, thank you General for your cultivation."
