Prince Merry

The name of the bandit leader was Wang Li, and he kept patting his horse and explaining the situation in Lianzhou. From the previous temptation to the subsequent shock, Wang Li couldn't figure it out. This master is like a prophet It seems that potential dangers can always be avoided.

Originally, he thought that if he met a big robber, they would be saved. Qin Zizhen and others were too obvious to say "Fat Sheep", so he didn't believe that the leaders would let them go.

Unexpectedly, he clearly left a code on the road and saw the code of his accomplices, but this master, walking, insisted on distracting the robbers who came to rob.

In name, he was leading the way, but in fact, the master only asked him the general direction, and the rest would not listen to him at all. Every time he saw the half-smile in the eyes of the master, he felt terrified, his little The mind seems to have nowhere to hide.

Wang Li regretted it, scratching his heart and lungs with regret. The robbers were never vegetarians. He felt that if he released the pigeons twice in a row, even if he could go back, he might not be able to please him. He would only be torn and eaten.

Qin Zizhen sneered, he never believed what the robber said.

This group of people has no morals, no loyalty, and is full of cunning and cunning. If you believe in them, you will lose.

He saw Wang Li's little tricks, but he didn't care. Although it was imperative to subdue the robbers, he had the final say on how to subdue them.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain, Wang Li succumbed. As the saying goes, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Since there is no hope of rescue, and he will die when he goes back, he can only hold Qin Zizhen tight now, and only hope that he sees in his heart For the sake of taking refuge, you can ask for an errand.

Qin Zizhen glanced at him lightly. Where did he think he was, and was it so easy to seek refuge?

Wang Li's heart tightened, and he quickly apologized with a smile: "The plain is vast, and there is no place to hide. We usually hide on the mountains, and there are bandits' lairs everywhere. ..."

Qin Zizhen's expression was leisurely, as if he heard it, but also as if he didn't hear it, he smiled softly and looked into the distance.

The sound of horseshoes came from far and near.

The robber didn't know whether he was happy or worried, and he didn't know whether the fellow robbers who came came or were the master's subordinates.

Xie Jiusi was as immobile as a mountain, and when he saw Ah Zhen's contented face, he knew that the person who came must be an acquaintance.

Sure enough, Zhou Yu'an rode the horse in the lead, besides a few guards, there were also a group of strangers beside him.

"Master——"

"master."

When they came to them, the group was divided into two factions. One group was headed by Zhou Yu'an, who saluted him, and the other group was headed by a handsome young man with sword eyebrows. He looked at Xie Jiusi with a happy face: "Little master has grown up."

Xie Jiusi smiled lightly: "Brother Yang."

Yang Shaoying cupped his hands and gave Qin Zizhen a cold look, and then he said to Xie Jiusi: "My father is waiting in the mountains, my little master..." After a pause, the words of reproach were not spoken out after all, the little master's legs are inconvenient, how can he ride a horse , Prince Pingxi is too bad at taking care of others.

How does Yang Shaoying feel that the little master matches him, and feels that he is at a disadvantage.

Qin Zizhen was under a lot of pressure, the differences were too obvious, and the manpower disparity was too great. Although he was very happy that these people were loyal to Xiaojiu, he was also very annoyed. Xiaojiu was more powerful than him, how would he support his wife in the future.

Yang Shaoying looked at Qin Zizhen for a long time, and said two words lightly: "Young master."

"Brother Yang—" Xie Jiusi was ashamed and embarrassed.

Qin Zizhen raised his eyebrows with joy, and bowed his hands in return: "Commander Yang."

Yang Shaoying looked indifferent: "There is no Commander Yang here, so you should call me Mr. Yang."

Qin Zizhen said: "There is no grandson here, Commander Yang should call me uncle."

After a short confrontation, Yang Shaoying said, "Master, please."

Qin Zizhen smiled and glanced at Xie Jiusi: "Let's go."

Uncle, Shizi, and Master, these titles are very different.

The uncle said that he was Xiaojiu's man, and he only listened to Xiaojiu's command and called him uncle. This was Yang Shaoying's respect for Xiaojiu's husband, but he was not loyal to him.

Calling him the son of the world, the politeness is unfamiliar, which means that he does not recognize himself.

Qin Zizhen didn't think it was necessary to call him master. He could only be happy that Xiao Jiu had his own power, and he wouldn't get involved in Xiao Jiu's things, so he was very satisfied with the title of uncle.

A group of people rode horses and walked slowly towards the mountain, talking while walking.

Zhou Yuan reported to him the recent situation. Generally speaking, the situation in the mountains is good. Although the two sides have slight conflicts, as long as they are reasonable, the group of soldiers will not mess around and will always listen to suggestions.

Qin Zizhen smiled lightly. His subordinates consisted of all kinds of people. Fu Xucheng was not only from a family, but also used to be a high-ranking member of the court.

Zhou Yu'an was funny: "Isn't it? Master Fu made them dizzy, General Lian was so angry that he slapped the table, he could only blow his beard and stare."

Qin Zizhen asked: "What's more, in terms of reserves..."

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't worry, my son, I have bought a lot of military supplies, enough for us to eat for three years. At present, the Dazhao store is still in operation, and there will be food and grass delivered one after another."

Qin Zizhen nodded: "You will be responsible for this aspect in the future, and don't call me Shi Ziye anymore, there is no King Pingxi here."

Zhou Yu'an looked cautiously: "Master."

Qin Zizhen didn't refute, just smiled lightly, and threw him a jasper finger wrench: "I gave it to you, it's not considered public property."

Zhou Yu'an's eyes were fiery, and he carefully hid the wrench finger. The jade article bestowed by the master is hard to find. This is an item from the fairy family.

Thinking of this in his heart, Zhou Yu'an became more and more loyal. The son's ability is extraordinary, not to mention the miracles he did a few months ago, and the mustard space he created later, he felt that his choice was right. Certainly promising.

A group of people quickly came to the foot of the mountain and got off their horses.

Xie Jiusi's movements were crisp and neat, and his moon-white clothes complemented his heroic appearance.

Yang Shaoying noticed something was wrong, and stared at him with wide eyes: "Your legs..."

Xie Jiusi smiled and nodded: "Thanks to Ah Zhen, I can stand up now."

Yang Shaoying was both surprised and delighted: "Great, father will be very happy to see you."

Xie Jiusi said: "I haven't seen Uncle Yang for a long time, and I miss him very much." To be honest, he didn't expect Uncle Yang to come. After all, the Yang family is one of the few generals who have not been dismissed by the emperor. I went to the south, but there is a prosperous place there, and it is better to be a local snake than to come to the desolate place in the north.

Yang Shaoying was a little satisfied, and he said to Qin Zizhen: "You are not bad, Xiao Jiu is like kissing my younger brother. It is a pity that I followed the general and watched Xiao Jiu grow up..." Yang Shaoying's expression darkened: "General After his death, my father was demoted, and Xiao Jiu suffered a lot."

Qin Zizhen's face darkened, and he felt a little unhappy, Xiao Jiu was his name, why did he call him so intimate.

However, for the sake of Xiaojiu's sake, Qin Zizhen decided not to argue with him for the time being.

"Master——"

From a long distance, they heard someone calling on the mountain, and then, a large group of people swarmed out, and the whole mountain became lively.

"Young master." The aged general was emotional.

Xie Jiusi was taken aback. He thought that the number of people left by his grandfather was at most 2 people, but seeing the darkness in front of him, let alone [-], he couldn't even count them. There were at least [-] people. .

"Uncle Lian, Uncle Yang, Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhou..." Xie Jiusi hurriedly greeted.

"Okay, okay, okay, the young master's leg is healed, and this old man is finally worthy of the general's confession." General Lian couldn't contain his excitement, tears were streaming down his face.

Qin Zizhen quickly became a foil, and he suddenly had the feeling that the ugly son-in-law came to meet his father-in-law.

Only then did he realize that although General Zhen Guo didn't have many generals left behind, he couldn't hold them back.

So, one person brought a group of men down to the north to take root and settle down, and then formed the current magnificent scene.

With people and soldiers, things will be much cheaper in the future.

They were arguing very late that day.

Although many people disliked Qin Zizhen, they couldn't help that he was rich. He had to raise all the soldiers and horses, and he had to prepare the food and grass.

Uncle Wang said bluntly, if it wasn't for the war in Dazhao, and he knew that Prince Pingxi had money to raise soldiers, otherwise, they would definitely not be able to come that many people, many of them are still on the way, and some are still thinking about it.

However, he believes that as long as the north is really doing well, there will definitely be many old minions coming to seek refuge one after another.

Qin Zizhen pursed his lips. The people who will take refuge in the future will not be treated as they are now. He is very clear about his grievances and grievances.

The conditions on the mountain are not good now. No matter how beautifully the bandits' nest is arranged, it still cannot conceal the fact that it is a dilapidated cottage. In terms of food, it is good to say that Qin Zizhen has enough food and grass, but the living environment is too poor.

The first step is to improve the living environment.

In the second step, the border defense must be stable.

In the third step, all the robbers in Lianzhou must be subdued. There can only be one voice in his territory.

The fourth step is construction.

the fifth step……

That night, Qin Zizhen thought a lot, since he wanted to take root in the north, and since he wanted to be fearless, he must have a powerful force, so strong that no one would dare to provoke him!

Early the next morning, a group of people held a meeting.

The hall of the bandit's den was very wide, Qin Zizhen took the main seat unceremoniously, and Xie Jiusi sat next to him.

No rules, no circle, no matter who they are, how glorious they were, they came to the north and chose to be loyal to Xie Jiusi, then they can't rely on their old people to sell their old ones, relying on being with General Zhen Guo, relying on their loyalty, relying on them The affection pointing fingers.

Qin Zizhen took a sip of tea: "To summon everyone here today, I have two things to announce, one is to formulate a set of rules, and the other is to formulate personal positions. You have followed your grandfather before, and you must understand the reason why military orders are like mountains. "

Uncle Wang nodded: "This is no problem."

Liu Xueming asked: "How are positions formulated?"

Qin Zizhen had already prepared the draft, and tapped his index finger on the table lightly, his tone was clear but still majestic: "How about this, you each have soldiers under your command, and you still manage them separately. However, the division of ranks must be clearly defined, and the number of people under your command must be determined. Positions, those with a small number of people must be attached to those with a large number of people, and so on, choose two generals, four lieutenants, eight generals, and sixteen captains, followed by each banner, each group, each team, five One small flag per person, one group of ten people, one small group of fifty people, one hundred people..."

Liu Xueming thought for a moment, Qin Zizhen divided them very well, and did not reduce their power, not to mention, they were loyal to Mr. Xie, and everyone present nodded their heads.

Next, Qin Zizhen announced the distribution of military pay.

Everyone was overjoyed. You must know that they were not treated so well in the army if the imperial court was in arrears with their salaries.

After the sweet dates were finished, Qin Zizhen started to talk about the business. The north is in a desolate place and the weather is cold. Fortunately, it’s summer. When winter comes, if they don’t make complete preparations, even if their bodies are strong, they won’t be able to withstand the cold. .

Construction is imperative, but if the action is too big, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the outside. If you want to settle down here, the surrounding defenses are essential.

Yang Feihan was worried. He came to the north to become a bandit and occupy the cottage. No matter how big the changes are, it will not attract the prying eyes of other countries. However, if they want to conquer this place, no country will be willing, and they will become the top of the public eye.

Xie Jiusi smiled faintly, as if he knew their worries: "You are generals and soldiers. You once threw your heads and blood on the battlefield. Are you really willing to remain anonymous and be the king of the mountain for the rest of your life?"

Qin Zizhen watched him with a smile, Xiao Jiu also knew what he wanted.

Xie Jiusi went on to say: "You came to the north and didn't want to work for the court. Have you thought about the future? How will you live in the future, how can you gain a foothold in the world, and how can you get the glory you deserve? Are you willing?"

Uncle Wang was silent. Those who came to the north were loyal generals. Second, they sincerely hated the court. Third, their life was not good. They have to live in hiding in a deep mountain, and some people are exhausted, working hard but can hardly support their families. Why not come to the north to express their ambitions or find a way out.

Qin Zizhen waited for them to think enough, and then said: "I will take good precautions on the mountain to prevent foreign enemies from invading. From now on, you are ready to prepare. I will not leave any robbers in Lianzhou."

Lian Chenghua turned pale with shock: "Kill them all?"

Qin Zizhen sneered: "Why did you kill them? We happen to be short of people to do coolies. Dr. Xue made a good poison, and each person will be fed one. Those who perform well will be given the antidote a year later. If they do not perform well, they will continue to work. "

Liu Xueming hesitated a little: "Poison, this is not good." How can such behavior be done by a gentleman.

Qin Zizhen pursed his lips: "It's just a group of robbers, what's the matter, Uncle Liu is too worried."

Xie Jiusi chimed in: "What Ah Zhen means is that the bandits are more powerful than they are. Let them do hard work first. If they pass the test, they can be used for their own use. After all, we have few people. Although we can dominate the plains, if we encounter the imperial army , is still weak, I believe that with the skills of the uncles, they will be able to control them."

A word of flattery only put Zhang Guoliang's words into high spirits, and he patted his chest to assure him: "Of course, no matter how vicious he is, he will not be obedient when he is under my hands. I think the group of soldiers back then were not the same. obedient post."

Yang Shaoying said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang is right. They are just a group of bandits. They don't know how many lives they have in their hands. If they don't obey the military law, they will kill the rebels. Why be merciful?"

Seeing what his son said, Yang Feihan nodded immediately. He is a rough guy who started his career with General Zhen Guo, so he didn't read as many books as his son. Anyway, what his son said was right.

Yang Shaoying turned to ask: "Dare to ask my uncle how to protect himself well, can you elaborate."

Qin Zizhen smiled lightly, knowing that he didn't believe in himself, but thinking about it, the plain is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it is not only difficult to protect it well, otherwise, this place would not become a no-care zone: "Brother Yang, don't worry, I have a kind of ammunition in my hand, which will explode when I touch it, even if I can't prevent the army from attacking, it is enough to be alert and let us prepare in advance."

Yang Shaoying didn't say any more. He had seen the power of explosives before Zhou Yu'an. Otherwise, there were more than [-] of them, and Zhou Yu'an only had nearly a thousand people. There was such a big difference, how could they coexist peacefully? Although he has been discharged from the army for a long time, his rough temper has not changed at all.

Then, they discussed some details. After the meeting ended, Qin Zizhen gave an order that all the robbers who were captured yesterday were given a poison and went to work.
