Chapter 1863 What happened to the gang fight level?
Wang Yao and Zhang Yiwen both praised the two leaders who caused chaos in the south and the north, which was not surprising at all.
There is an example like Wang San more than 30 years ago. In the middle and lower-level landlords and gentry groups in various counties and townships, they also like to watch refugees and disaster victims. In that case, they can also absorb human resources to expand the slave team.
But when refugees become rioters, their nature is different. The middle and lower-class landlords of each county and township are the most direct threatened! Who will the rioters steal? The first target to rob are the middle and lower-class landlords, which will destroy their families and destroy their lives.
Who would underestimate such a super threat?
In recent years, Lu has long formed a routine. Once there is a disaster and a large-scale refugee, the middle and lower-class landlords around it will send people to inquire about the situation as soon as possible and just keep an eye on the movements of those guys. Otherwise, your family may be destroyed at any time.
The refugees who are farther away from your home are not that dangerous. What is close to you? It is the one that is most likely to destroy your family. Who wouldn’t care about these?
Since there are people who follow nearby, the ones who follow are definitely young and strong, then... the first time when the refugees turn into chaos, the middle and lower-level landlords in nearby will be ready to fight back or kill the rioters.
Even if the first family may have been cheated and unresponsive, they may have been killed in time. After the first family was destroyed, many gentry and sages around them will inevitably begin to join forces and send troops together.
So in recent years, civil unrest often occurred, but more than 90% of them were extinguished in the early stages, which was during that period of dozens or hundreds of gangs of rioters.
Who can't bring out a young and strong team? Local geniuses are often the most prestigious and wealthy in the countryside. They pull out a team from the clan. They usually fight with clans because of cultivated land or water sources.
Normally, local sages may not assign real military armor to the clan team, which can deal with foreign rioters, and will definitely be the standard equipment for the army at the first time.
The first news that Wang Yao, Zhang Yiwen and others received was that the civil unrest had grown to a scale of thousands of people!
The scale of a thousand people has passed the initial embarrassment and weakness, and it is somewhat of a threatening existence. Such a scale has not happened in the Xiuyan Prefecture area for at least ten years.
I haven't seen it for ten years, and now there are two groups of people. What are the leaders of the rioters who are not talented? As long as they can avoid the first wave of landlords in townships and those who can grow to this level are definitely talented.
They will only have it now. Even if the two rioters in the south and north are suppressed and failed, they will have to save people and save them, so they can continue to perform in the future.
When Zhang Yiwen smiled and spoke, one south and one north were staged at the same time, and it was a coincidence, Wang Yao laughed, "Maybe it wasn't a temporary idea, but the two sides of the north and the south, and they had known the familiar bandit leader for a long time?"
"If they had known each other for a long time, it would be more beneficial to us. They would expand the scale of this civil unrest. At that time, once those small and medium-sized gentry can't suppress it, it will be more beneficial to us, haha~"
Whether it is a real coincidence or a fake coincidence, it doesn't matter to Wang Yao. He just hopes that the more chaotic the better.
Of course, he has his own confidence if he can think like this, that is, the rich man standing at the top level of a prefecture or even a state, his family is really not ordinary.
The Xu family, Lu family, etc. in Xuecheng, Yunzhou can pull out thousands of elite servants when they are well prepared, while it is not difficult for the Wang family and Zhang family to pull out three or four thousand yuan for a family.
The three top wealthy families of the Tang family, Shen family, and Liu family each have 7,000 or 8,000,000, and tens of thousands are capable. After this, they will be a army of tens of thousands!
You said that the entire Xiuyan Prefecture has a population of only 300,000 to 400,000 people. The Tang family, Shen family, Liu family and others each brought out ten thousand young and strong servants. No, this is easy to understand. The Tang family and others are the bosses of a state. Their elite servants are not all composed of people from Xiuyan Prefecture. Many elite soldiers are under the command, controlling a lake and many rivers, a huge inland transportation channel, and also exist in coastal ports, salt fields, etc.
Just like the Xiao family is in the port of Xuecheng, in the fleet, there are hundreds or thousands of local young and strong people in Xuecheng.
The only embarrassment is that the army pulled out by the top tyrants has not received strict military training, and what is more familiar is the operation of group fighting.
But what's wrong with the level of gang fights? As long as the weapons are sharp enough, the armor is excellent enough... or there are enough muskets and cannons! Pick a group of generals from the top tyrants to command. After a little training and running in, you will be elite.
Back then, the Yao family in Yunzhou destroyed the Wang San Rebellion, which was more than 100,000 yuan, relying on this combination.
With sufficient confidence, Wang Yao and other big grain merchants and gentry were not afraid of messing up the matter, and were full of a sense of superiority and confidence.
Zhang Yiwen was also happy, "You are right, this has no effect on us. Now, we still have to wait for the news, haha, it will probably not take long before the news will be passed back."
…………
It didn't take long for what Zhang Yiwen said, but it took more than two days.
The people they sent out arrived at the location of Han Jianzhou and Zhang Shun's rioters, which were located soon, a few hours or half a day, but it took time to inquire about the information, mainly to inquire about the specific and real information.
More than two days later, it was still Tianyan Pavilion. After watching the latest information, the gentry and gentry exchanged their situations with each other, they couldn't help but feel amazed.
"Talents are really talented, haha~"
"The two thieves from the south and the north are absolutely aware of Han Jianzhou and Zhang Shun? Their operations are the same. Although they are holding back the young and strong, they send all the young and weak relatives and friends back on the spot. As long as the gentry gathers, they will run away..."
"To this day, the two men have reached two thousand, all of whom are young and strong, and they are more than three thousand. If the north and south converge, it will be even larger than the tens of thousands of people in the past."
…………
In the past, when the civil unrest gathered tens of thousands of people, the momentum was huge, but how many of them were old and weak who were unable to walk? Children who didn’t feel sorry for the beaten people? In the past, the civil unrest of ten thousand people were more than 70% of the elderly, weak women and children had no combat effectiveness.
Han Jianzhou and Zhang Shun gathered more than 3,000 young and strong people. Even if more than 90% of them were without armor, and more than 80% of them were hoes and wooden sticks.
But this is also very scary!
Especially when they never confronted the army that had gathered together with the surrounding gentry, they would run away when the other party came... and ran to places without defense and rob them.
This is a thief.
One thing you must understand is that in a village and a town, although the gentry and landlords from all families can bring together hundreds or thousands of strong people, and they can even wear armor and hold sharp edges, but those young and strong people can only exist in one place at the same time.
After all the gentry and landlords in the township came out of youth and material support, their hometown territory became empty.
If you cannot quickly defeat the rioters and be swept by the other party, you will be really embarrassed.
