At night, everyone was spending the night in Dongzhuang Water Castle. Before dispersing, Feng Jingshu asked the bandits to first think about how to steal the convoy immediately.

And he came to a secret room in the backyard of the village.

A former third-rank official of the court, now after returning home, Xia Shi, the famous local gentry leader, prepared tea and was waiting for him.

After Xia Shi, the chief manager of Dongzhuang Water Castle, brought Feng Jingshu into the secret, he personally guarded the door to prevent their conversation from being disturbed by outsiders.

Feng Jingshu smiled bitterly, bowed his hand and greeted Xia Shibei, and said respectfully: "Let Mr. Xia wait for a long time!"

Xia Shibei also stood up to greet him, brought him a cup of fragrant tea, and sighed: "A real man does not stand a dangerous wall. Jingshu is really a bit sloppy when he goes into danger this time."

Feng Jingshu took a sip of tea and sighed, "Old Xia didn't know the situation at that time, it was really a way to delay in public. Moreover," he paused, Feng Jingshu said with a determined look: "This matter has reached the critical moment of the ending, and no accidents are allowed. If this major event is not completed, I will never have the chance to start over again. Therefore, my heart has been determined and if I fail, I will be able to achieve my destiny!"

Xia Shibei stood up and bowed and said, "Jingshu has this determination, which is indeed a blessing for the people."

Feng Jingshu sighed: "This time, I took advantage of the opportunity of the team training and a brief investigation. Taiyuan's mansion has three million entries, and this year alone, it has been reduced by more than 400,000. Alas, natural disasters occur frequently, and the people cannot survive at all. The world is so difficult. If the thunder means are not used to change the situation, the Ming Dynasty may not last long."

"It's not just natural disasters, but also military disasters," Xia Shibei sighed, "Last Jin, this year, invaded twice, and the imperial court's troops were unable to drive away the enemy. The suffering was still our local gentry. Every year we handed over the taxes to the court. When we encountered danger, the court could not protect us. Every time the official army came, our local gentry had to organize the supply of food and grass. If one was not well received, those who would have to harm the countryside. In this way, it would be better to arm our own villagers so that we could protect ourselves."

"What Mr. Xia said is extremely true," Feng Jingshu sneered: "In this situation, Taiyuan Prefect Qin Shizhen is still thinking about how to collect the money from the mansion and use his own private benefits. It is really ridiculous."

Xia Shibei chuckled and said, "Who made him a native of Jiangnan? No matter how chaotic the north is, he earned money and retracted the flies in Jiangnan. So, Shanxi still needs to be managed by our own people in Shanxi."

Feng Jingshu smiled and said, "Qin Shizhen has been there for a short time. He has reported the riots in various counties to the court. If the riots cannot be quelled, he will not be able to escape his responsibility. Moreover, the caravan we are about to rob, and no one has a backer behind this group of merchants. Instantly, there is a huge chaos in the mansion, and with the support of Mr. Xia and other gentry, it will be safe to seize the position of governor. At that time, the official and the fellow villagers will work together to train the village corps and train the village corps. Not to mention repelling the beasts of the Later Jin that invaded, it will not be so easy for those passing officials to rob grain and bully people."

After a pause, Feng Jingshu said excitedly: "If we can go further and take the elite troops of the Taiyuan Town Border Army whom the imperial court has been blessed for many years into our jurisdiction, we can look forward to the major events."

"That's right," Xia Shibei said excitedly: "If the Liao people in the court guard the Liao territory, we Shanxi people will protect our Shanxi land, protect the peace and security of the people, and observe the world."

Their goal is the situation of the Tang Dynasty's vassal states!

As for rebellion, they have never thought about studying the books of sages since childhood.

At least I don't have this idea now!

"Oh, it's too difficult to make a rebellion!"

Fang Jingnan lay on the warm kang, squinting her eyes while resting.

Jiang Li was whistling outside the house, He Fei and Du Gang were sleeping soundly, Zuo Qingshan sat at the table with a sad face. Knowing that Fang Jingnan was not asleep, he didn't speak, and sighed from time to time.

Fang Jingnan sat up from the kang, grinned, and smiled at Zuo Qingshan, saying, "Brother Zuo is worried that if you can't beat us up, you just want to rob our caravan, just let them rob, and you can't hold them up."

Fang Jingnan was not particularly worried about the caravan being robbed. It would be fine if she didn't know. Now she knew that there was a group of hyenas to rob her lion, how could they succeed?

Fang Jingnan just felt that the trouble was too depressed. After a long time of struggle, there might be a lot of losses, but he would not get any benefits.

It's really a disaster!

Extremely depressed!

Isn’t this Feng Tongzhi afraid that these bandits will gather and cause trouble in Daizhou after they get out of control?

What exactly does he want to do?

...

The next day, a group of bandit leaders were discussing how to rob Fang Jingnan's Sitong Trading Company.

This time, Feng Tongzhi did not appear. The middle-aged man dressed as a general manager of the Water Castle, Xia Shichang, and Yuanwailang.

Fang Jingnan stepped on the stool with his chest open, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and said roughly: "You must be fools. The town of Dong County is high and thick. Even if there are no soldiers from the court, those people in the business will be more troublesome. In my opinion, if you want to grab it, go and grab it while their caravan is traveling. I chose the place last night. It is just between Dong County and Dai County, outside Yangming Fort at the corner of the Hutuo River. The terrain is high in the north and the south is low in the south. On the east side is a big river, and on the west side are mountains. We just need to occupy the northern highland and kill it from a high point. What are their guards called? Yes, the North Escort Agency was destroyed with one blow, and the instant goods worth tens of thousands of silver are our bags."

The Huntianlong in the crowd snorted coldly and opposed: "Don't talk about it so mysterious, why is the terrain high in the north and low in the south? The county is almost empty. In the past, I was able to come and go there freely. Even if there was this business in the city at this time, more than 10,000 people surrounded us, how could hundreds of guards from the business in the mere market be guarded?"

Fang Jingnan smiled back and said, "Maybe the boss doesn't know that Dong County is no longer the same as before. This time, he happened to pass by Dong County. In addition to the Sitong Trading Company, thousands of Zhang's children have moved there. It is estimated that there are no less than a thousand young and strong people, and it is not so easy to break."

Fang Jingnan wanted to delay time as much as possible.

If it is agreed upon, after the bandit leaders of each county are separated today, they will gather outside Dong County in seven days. At that time, it is hard to say whether the Mangziying can come in time.

The inspection department, which relies solely on the Zhenbei Escort Agency and Mawuhou, even if the Zhang family's children are mobilized to go to the city to defend, they may be damaged.

The most important thing is that this battle did not benefit Fang Jingnan at all. These bandits were poor and could not support the elderly and young. He was really reluctant to be enemies with them. If he could intimidate them with the glorious power of the Mang Cang, the best result would be.

However, it seems that these bandits are not easy to fool. Huntianlong laughed loudly and said, "I don't know what the head of the Five Elements Flag calls it?"

Fang Jingnan bowed according to the rules on the road and said, "If you don't change your name, if you sit down, you won't change your surname. This is also the case with Li Manhu."

"Okay, brothers Li Manhu," Hun Tianlong said: "We all know what the situation of a group of villagers is. It is better to be starved to death. We suddenly attacked, and there were only more than 200 villagers who were guarding four gates. They did not have the military equipment in the city, so what could they do?"

Fang Jingnan originally wanted to explain that most of Zhang's children live in the city, and their bodies are not bad, unlike ordinary villagers. But I just want to forget it. It is not appropriate to show it too clearly.

At this time, Huntianlong said again: "It is said that snakes cannot do without heads. When we attack Dongxian, we must have some rules. It is not easy to rush up and go up. Before going up the mountain, we will be the chief general of Dingxiang County. We have a lot of research on the matters of the battle, so I suggest,"

Huntianlong paused and said, "We gathered into four Yingpans according to the direction of each county in Taiyuan Prefecture. The northern Yingpan is composed of two prefectures and six counties north of Taiyuan Prefecture. They are Xinxian and Dingxiang County in Xinzhou, Fanzhi County, Daixian, Dongxian and Wutai County in Daizhou. Instantly, the northern Yingpan is responsible for attacking the northern gate of Dongxian. The other three city gates are also manipulated accordingly. Whoever enters the city first will rob first. This is so clear that there will be no more people, and everyone will not work hard and miss this opportunity."

According to Huntianlong's actions, more than 10,000 people were immediately divided into four camps with more than 3,000 people. In addition to making better use of the advantages of large populations, it also avoided the chaos of the bandits in each county's disobedience.

Fang Jingnan smiled bitterly and thought, no wonder this Huntianlong strongly proposed to attack the city. He wanted to conquer the counties and turn into leaders!

Nowadays, everyone has their own little plan, and fools really can't survive.

Sure enough, when Huntianlong saw that everyone had no objection, he said: "I have 1,500 young and strong people in the village, two mountain cannons and dozens of mechas, and they are the first among the counties in the north. I will be the only one in the temporary leader of the camp. After the matter is completed, everyone will disperse and do not interfere with each other. If they encounter officers and soldiers in the future, they will be not far away from each other, so it is better to have a response, so how about that?"

Huntianlong's village is indeed the strongest among the six counties. The second is the Five Elements Banner of Dai County. At this time, the bandit leaders from Xin County, Dingxiang, Wutai and Fanzhi all looked at Zuo Qingshan.

The bandit leader Wuhua Snake in Fanzhi County sneered even more. He had already contacted Huntianlong and had to defect to him. This time he robbed the business business was a great opportunity to suppress the Five Elements Banner of Dai County.

Zuo Qingshan frowned and quietly looked at Fang Jingnan.

Seeing this, Fang Jingnan laughed heartily and said, "The leader of Huntianlong is a hero in the army. It is appropriate to be the leader of the northern camp.

As soon as the Five Elements Banners made their statement, the other four counties also agreed. Anyway, they are considered temporary organizations. If they are in harmony, they will be dispersed. There is no need to worry too much.

After selecting the leader in the northern Yingpan, the three parties in the east, south and west also discussed it. It was a temporary looting, so there was no too much trouble. The other three parties also selected the strongest county as the leader.

Therefore, the gathering of bandit leaders in Taiyuan Prefecture was successfully concluded.

Seven days later, on December 24, the eighth year of Chongzhen, the city of Fang Jingnan, was looted in Danzhou!
Chapter completed!
