"fire!!"

Beep!!!

Bang!

Bang bang!!

After a round of artillery fire, the west position of Hengshan County suddenly became smoke and dust. In less than five minutes, the entire Hengshan County became lively, and the official roads in the north of the city were crowded with various vehicles.

All kinds of noises were mixed together, the cry of children, the curses of adults, the moans and howls of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled...

However, unlike the people on the official road, there is another scene in the east wharf of Hengshan County. The workers are happily moving goods there. The managers, managers, assistants, and booksellers who used to shout at the wharf were gone. In this situation, I am afraid that I would run wildly on the road north of the city.

The Xiangjiang River is very cold in the first lunar month. Not far from the wharf, a motor boat of 2,000 stones is slowly leaving. Even the ordinary inland waterways also have motor boats that are rare among the people in the Sailonggang.

On the boat, two young men looked at the smoke from the west, and one of them sighed: "The news from Leiyang said that Wang, who was surnamed Wang, planned to take action after spring plowing. Who would have thought that he would come to Tanzhou on the fifth day of the first lunar month."

"The court...has there no response?"

"Response? The army passes through the border, either choose Hubei or Jianghuai."

“…”

"Our 'Changsha Lu Zhongwu Army' parted ways with him, and I don't know if it's right or wrong."

The flag on the ship is also hung with the banner of "Tanzhou Guard Command". The current guard commander is Ma Xizhen. He is in his early fifties, which is the best time to be at its peak.

There is a little difference between the Ma family and son’s estimate of Wang Jiao.

My husband Ma Yin and his younger brothers all think that Wang Dalang is a tolerant person, so he must have tried it slowly.

But Ma Xizhen predicted that Wang Jiao would either not take action here. Once he took action, he would definitely not give his opponent a chance to breathe. As for Tanzhou's infiltration in the past two years, Liu Can's inaction and as the chairman of the "Hunan Provincial National Protection Committee", he would run to Anren County from time to time, which may not affect the people much, but for the only remaining local bureaucrats, this blow is fatal.

However, in the local officialdom in Hunan, especially in Tanzhou, it is really impossible to deal with Liu Can. Other identities can be sued to the central government.

This place is not possible, because when Boss Feng’s “Jingnan Army” came, no one was cleaner than anyone else’s way to run together.

We all acted as deserters together, and then complained to the emperor and only sued the supreme commander. Not to mention the issue of the imperial court's employment, in this chaotic era, if you are not careful, you will be eaten as a broiler by the powerful people from other places, and there is no pressure at all.

So an extremely strange thing happened like this. The "People's Party" had begun to reorganize the temporary county government of Hengshan County. However, the report from the Tanzhou officialdom to the above, no matter which line it was, it was always "although the bandits were seriously in trouble, but the career was smooth."

As for Ma Xizhen, the commander of the newly appointed "Tanzhou Garrison Command", he was not stupid. He was very familiar with the local officialdom when he was a teenager. The reports he gave to Shangfeng were mostly "our troops were ordered to suppress bandits, strictly guard Tanzhou, and not give up an inch of land!"

Hengshan County... Hengshan County is just on the edge of Tanzhou. The capital of Tanzhou is located in Changsha, and Changsha is still there, so it is stable.

Even if Changsha is gone, if there is vitality, it will still be regained the lost land in the future.

Of course, the word "lost land" cannot be written on the report. If you polish it, it may be "the thieves are powerful and ravaging the countryside. I hope the court will send more elite soldiers..."

After all, the accountants went to Yuezhou in northern Hunan, and they were still bragging at Qingcao Lake.

I observe the success of Baling...

In this situation, there are still 580,000 people from Tanzhou who are queuing up to go to Baling County to see the scenery.

Ma Xizhen also had the same thoughts when he was on the motor boat.

During the Chinese New Year, we will go to Changsha to visit relatives and friends first. If these relatives and friends go to Yuezhou, it will be a little harder and it will be a big deal. The relationship has to be maintained, so Yuezhou will also be going to be sooner or later.

As for the scattered scattered people in Tanzhou... Yes, he is not a regular army, and the Ministry of War has not provided any organization. It is a special force assigned by the imperial court to maintain public order.

There were about 4,000 people from the "Tanzhou Garrison Command" who left Hengshan County, and only 5,000 people were only 600 when they came. Ma Xizhen incorporated all the local people who were eating in the martial arts world and integrated them. It was known as the "Hengshan Group" and was an independent group, and it was directly under the command of Ma Xizhen.

It’s okay, Ma Xizhen is ready to give money, and the brothers on the road who are used to wandering in the world are now thinking that it is not easy to find a backer, but they really follow Ma Xizhen.

Not many people are sincere in their lives, but nowadays, who cares about a bad life?

It's good to be able to manage the meal.

Moreover, Ma Xizhen also spent a lot of money to go to Dongting Lake to create a "big farewell field" in the villa group. It is hard tolerate the law of nature.

It is very reasonable to be a soldier to earn salary.

I just didn't expect that the old Wang next door was too arrogant and poked the nest after placing the troops. It was really hateful.

Brothers believe it, can Commander Ma still deceive people, right?

"Brother, can we come back?"

Ma Xifan sighed and asked Ma Xizhen.

"You are still young and have hope. Where is me... that's not possible."

Ma Xifan, who is 32 years old this year, has caught up with a good time. At the right age, he has achieved a position that ordinary people cannot reach.

At the same age, if you can become a county magistrate, generally speaking, except for your ability to be really extreme, the rest is that your family's strength cannot be underestimated. Even if you are less than the oligarchy, you will definitely be fine in terms of local conditions.

When Ma Xifan was 32 years old, he became a general of Qiaokou Town. Unlike the "Tanzhou Garrison Command", a department that has no registration in the Ministry of War, "Qiaokou Town" is at the same level as the original "Anren Town".

In other words, the town general Ma Xifan is equivalent to the county magistrate.

The operation is naturally multifaceted. In the past two years, the turmoil in Hunan has been severe. The fall of "Anren Town" town scared many people. Some old families are just the kind of people who make a fortune in a low-key manner. They vaguely feel that the mud legs are becoming increasingly unacceptable, and they are becoming increasingly unable to manage them. Therefore, some people have long planned to leave quickly after a single transaction.

This is the case with "Qiaokou Town". The original town will be the one after Pang Chengding, the governor of Tanzhou many years ago. After counting, it was all about 150 years ago.

But in these 150 years or more decades, "Qiaokou Town" has evolved from a major water military center, and over time, it has also evolved into a "water highway toll station" similar to Chuzhou Huaiyin.

The reason why Ponzi did not leave was very simple, the passing Fucai came so quickly.

The last county to enter Dongting Lake in Xiangjiang River is Xiangyin County. Xiangyin County is the southernmost end of Yuezhou. At its junction is a relatively complex area of ​​water, which is "Qiaokou Town".

The Pangzi is willing to take root but not leave people, and then scatter for two hundred years. Perhaps he has a love for a place of water and soil, but more so, this place of water and soil has given too much.

Until the emergence of two groups of people, Pang Shi, the "Qiaokou Town", immediately made a decision that violated his ancestors.

Sell ​​this seat in "Qiaokou Town".

These two groups include the "Jingnan Army" in front and the "Working Party" in the back.

Every day, every day, they are the ones who take people to the underworld to take a look.

It is illegal to sell official positions and titles, but if Pangshi "supports and recommends" whoever takes over as a town general, the Ministry of War will stamp a seal and finish it.

The process is quite expensive.

The bid was 20 million at the beginning.

No one bird, after all, it’s an era. Three years ago, the price is very reasonable.

Now...what if the "Jingnan Army" comes here?

What if the "Xiang Yi Army" came to take over?

How did Wang Jiao "empty the cage and replace the bird" that made Huang Shi'an lose? Of course, he can now take down Qiaokou Town according to his own interpretation.

20 million... Isn't it good to keep it and buy a coffin and cemetery?

So the discount was 20% off, 16 million.

Still no one wants it.

To be honest, buying a position as a general in Qiaokou Town for 16 million is simply awesome.

Unfortunately, the rich old man hid in Baling County to watch the scenery, and no one wanted to go back to Tanzhou.

Another discount, 50% off! Ten million!!

At this price, the "Jingnan Army" was a benefit, just 10 million yuan, and it was quickly reaped.

However, it is still a pity, because now it is not the "Jingnan Army", but the "Xiang Yi Army".

Who will give you a chance to make a quick profit?

Don’t say you can make ten million yuan, you will only be 1,000 yuan. If you are targeted and reported by someone, you will die sooner or later.

So the final situation was very outrageous. The position of Qiaokou Town was sold at one discount, and the road was paved at the same time. That is, starting with the deputy general, and then from the country to the town general, the whole process was extremely silky.

Two million yuan will actually be equivalent to a county magistrate, and he will be able to get a regular officer from a deputy county magistrate, and he can't even find him with a lantern.

However, Pangzi has no other requirements. First, he has to pack one year's rations, pay for half a year first, and then give it to installment for the remaining half a year.

At the same time, the warehouse must be given, and renting and selling are suitable.

There are many people with this ability, but there are actually only a handful of people who dare to take action.

Because there are almost no wealthy families in Hunan who have friendship with Wang Jiao.

After the "Three Zhangs in Hunan", some people have a close relationship with Wang Jiao, but the problem is that "Anling Sanren" has long been unrecognized for many years. The one who established contact with Wang Jiao Gong before was Zhang Wu, the county magistrate of Liuyang County.

So, people appeared on the "Changsha Lu Zhongwu Army".

Ma Silang and Ma Xifan were born to the concubine of Ma Yin, the leader of the "Changsha Lu Zhongwu Army", but he was just about age and was brave and not afraid of death. He went to Qiaokou Town to be a deputy general. Before he took office, he also said a slogan of "loyalty to the emperor and love the people". When Pang Shi was happy, he even talked about a relationship with him and got a little wife to be a concubine.

The "Changsha Lu Zhongwu Army" is now a logistics industry, and there is no shortage of warehouses. In addition, Peng Yanran is Wang Jiao's woman, and they can also make money from the South China Sea. Before splitting up with Peng's family, with this layer of tiger skin, first of all, the Ma family and his son can raise a lot of funds from the previous channels of the rivers and lakes; secondly, they can discuss loan matters with their original old customers; finally, the Hunan officialdom also needs an investment channel.

The Ma family and son took advantage of Wang Jiao's face and gained the slightest amount of money.

But they didn't say it out loud and made a fortune in silence. Anyway, outsiders didn't know that Ma and Peng had actually separated.

Then later, the "Tanzhou Garrison Command" and the Qiaokou Town General became the items of the Ma brothers.

In this special season, it may take some time for others to digest and absorb, but it may take less than ten years, and then continue to increase investment, so this matter cannot be done.

However, the Ma family and son are different, and the situation is special. They used this relationship to crazily reshuffle the cards in the early stage. When Liu Can and Liu Gong started to be the chairman, they even visited Anren County every few days. They quickly used their own people to fill the gap in power.
To be continued...
