Chapter 1104 The ownership of Zhifu Bay

Pu Xueguang had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that besides himself, there would be such a good friend who had already made plans to take over Wanmeng's industry. At the moment, he was a little dumbfounded. Gan Qiang has always been Wanmeng's most capable general.

1, but now it seems that he is no longer willing to rely on others. The strong appearance of the Haihan people finally gave Gan Qiang such an opportunity to stand out, and there are almost no other strong competitors at the moment, so he naturally wants to jump.

Come out and seize the opportunity.

Pu Xueguang originally planned to use Gan Qiang as a gunman to realize his intention of reintegrating the Wanjia Army, but he did not expect that the other party also wanted to incorporate him. Of course, he could refuse Gan Qiang's proposal, but thinking about the other party's previous treatment

The brother-in-law of his old owner Wan Meng had already begun to murder, and he couldn't muster the courage to say the word "no" at that moment.

Gan Qiang saw his hesitant expression and continued to persuade: "There are only two or three people who can still block the way now. You and I will issue orders in the name of the master. If someone doesn't obey, we will have an excuse to get rid of them."

.What worries does the military advisor have?"

Pu Xueguang said: "What if the head of the family returns safely in the future?"

Gan Qiang said: "Then it depends on how fast you and I act. If the situation has been sorted out, what will happen when the master comes back? If he is sensible, we can arrange a place for him to live in the mountains for his retirement. If not,

It’s interesting…”

Gan Qiang did not continue, but the sinister look on his face had clearly revealed his intention. It was obvious that regardless of whether Wanmeng could come back alive, he did not intend to serve him as his master anymore.

Seeing this, Pu Xueguang did not dare to test Gan Qiang's patience anymore. He also knew that Wanmeng was already in serious danger and the possibility of escaping safely was very slim. As long as the remaining troops of Wanjia Army were quickly integrated in a short period of time, Wanmeng would still be able to survive.

If he can come back, there will be no one available, so it is unlikely that he will seize power from Gan Qiang again. If Pu Xueguang wants to ascend, it is best to wait until Gan Qiang, the early leader, has reorganized the Wanjia Army, and then look for opportunities to take him down.

Get rid of it and replace it in the name of Wan Meng's vindication.

"In that case, then Mr. Pu will be taken care of by his boss!" Pu Xueguang quickly changed his words after making the decision, and immediately changed his title.

"Thank you, military advisor!" Gan Qiang grinned and seemed very satisfied with being able to convince Pu Xueguang.

The original base of the Wanjia Army was mainly located in the mountainous area covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 square kilometers between the southwest of Fushan County and Qixia County. Both Pu Xueguang and Gan Qiang believed that this mountainous area was enough to hide themselves in it. Even if the Haihan people wanted to pursue the Wanjia Army,

, and they do not have enough troops to encircle and suppress such a large mountainous area. Theoretically, they will be safe for a period of time in the future, as long as they do not go out of the mountains to actively provoke the Haihan people. The worst is that they will not be active in Fushan County in the future.

If you go down to Qixia and Laiyang, you can still have a good meal.

However, Haihan's desire to pursue the victory was far less strong than Pu Xueguang and others feared. After annihilating the main force of the Wanjia Army and capturing the bandit leader Wanmeng alive, Haihan returned his main energy to infrastructure construction and immigration recruitment in Zhifu Bay.

, these two things are Haihan's main tasks in Shandong this year. As for the operation to annihilate local bandit armed forces, it is purely to remove stumbling blocks. The operation to suppress bandits in the mountains will inevitably invest a large amount of troops and materials, Zhifu Island Command Headquarters

But I'm not that confused about priorities.

After reaching an agreement on peaceful coexistence with Qishan Qianhusuo and Fushan County Yamen, Haihan's actions in the area near Zhifu Island were finally made public. The cavalry and the propaganda team of civil affairs cadres attacked everywhere, with Zhifu Island as the

Center recruits immigrants within a coastal area with a radius of about fifty miles. Although the number of refugees in this area is not large, under Haihan's targeted propaganda campaign, it is still possible to recruit voluntary frontline workers at a three-digit rate every day.

The people who came to seek refuge.

Currently, Harugong and Chen Yixin are responsible for the command, management, publicity and recruitment work outside the island. On the island, Qian Tiandun is responsible for security and defense, Wang Tom is responsible for shipping, Hao Wanqing is responsible for civil affairs and intelligence work, and the infrastructure project is overseen by Sun Changmi.

.Everyone has a clear division of labor and performs their duties, so that the daily operations of Zhifu Island Base finally begin to get on the right track.

On the third day after the war, the Fushan County Government got the bandit leader Wanmeng handed over by Haihan as he wished. Because of his leg injury, Haihan's army specially used a stretcher to carry him to the east gate of the county and handed over to the government.

Zhang Pucheng personally came forward and confirmed that the person on the stretcher was Wan Meng, the bandit leader of the Wanjia Army, and then ordered someone to receive him and carry him onto a covered carriage that had been prepared in advance.

Zhang Pucheng's report of meritorious deeds had actually been written two days earlier. Now he is waiting for the prisoners to arrive and escort them to Dengzhou Prefecture in person. In order to prevent the news from leaking, in addition to Zhang Pucheng, only a few arrests from the county government were involved in this matter.

Kuaihe informed Mr. Huang Qu of the inside story. After entering the county town through the east gate with Wanmeng's stretcher tied to it, he passed through the city without making any stop, left the city through the west gate, and headed northwest to Dengzhou.

Dengzhou City is a little over a hundred miles away from Fushan County. Zhang Pucheng specially brought an escort team of more than 20 government officials and garrison troops to prevent the Wanjia Army from coming out to rob people on the way. However, this worry was a little unnecessary, when he escorted

While Wanmeng was going to Dengzhou City, the Wanjia army was fighting for power and profit in the mountains dozens of miles away. They had no idea that their former leader was being sent to Dengzhou.

Of course, even if Pu Xueguang and Gan Qiang learn the news, they will probably pretend not to know and will not really send troops to take him back. For them, it is better for Wanmeng to be dead than alive, and the government is willing to do it for them.

, they are also happy to save trouble.

Zhang Pucheng didn't know about the internal strife in the Wanjia Army. He walked on the road in fear for a day and a half, and finally arrived at Dengzhou City safely. The troops stationed in various areas inside and outside Dengzhou City were all transferred from other places and belonged to different groups.

Although Zhang Pucheng was an official at the Dusi Guard Office, he still spent a lot of time entering the city and entering the prefect's Yamen to ask for an audience with the prefect Chen Zhongsheng.

Chen Zhongsheng was also very surprised when he heard that the magistrate of Fushan County personally escorted the bandit leader Wan Meng to Dengzhou. This Wanjia army was no stranger to him. During the Denglai Rebellion, they had already caused chaos among the people. Later, although the government successfully quelled the rebellion, they drove them away.

The rebels were defeated, but they were very troubled by the armed bandits operating in the Dengzhou Mountains and could not find any effective way to solve this problem.

For more than a year after the war, the security situation in Fushan County has not improved, but has worsened than before the Denglai Rebellion. Due to the presence of the Wanjia Army, the local government has been unable to organize post-disaster reconstruction and production self-rescue, let alone collect taxes.

However, a large amount of relief grain must be organized and transported to the local area every year. However, the scale of the army retained by Fushan County and nearby garrison after the war is very limited, and it is difficult to effectively prevent and attack the Wanjia Army, so we can only let it go.

Walk and sit big.

As for mobilizing the garrison in Dengzhou City to suppress bandits, Chen Zhongsheng thought about it, but did not put it into practice. The reason is also very simple. The troops currently stationed in Dengzhou are all troops transferred from other places during the war. The strength of these troops

The command power does not lie with Dengzhou Prefecture but with Shandong Dusi. If Chen Zhongsheng wants to mobilize these troops, he must provide enough benefits.

Dengzhou Prefecture has been unable to make ends meet since the war. Naturally, Chen Zhongsheng cannot provide any practical benefits to the military leaders below. If these troops are allowed to go to Fushan County, the local area will be wiped out.

Maybe the original plot of the Denglai Rebellion would be repeated again. Chen Zhongsheng didn't want to take such a risk for a group of bandits. No matter how Wan Jiajun caused trouble in the local area, at least he would not come to Dengzhou City to cause trouble and turn a blind eye.

Just close a glance and get over it. Although Fushan County inevitably has a lot of complaints about this, Chen Zhongsheng really has no other way to help except reducing taxes.

Chen Zhongsheng's idea is just to delay. Either wait until this group of people becomes irrational and raise troops to attack Dengzhou City, or wait until he transfers to another place in the future and dumps the blame.

The first-term governor of Dengzhou. But he never thought that Fushan County could solve the chronic problem of Wanjiajun with its own strength. But Wanmeng was one of the prisoners for whom Dengzhou Prefecture offered a reward, and Fushan County would not be so stupid as to do so casually.

If an impostor is found, he will be taken to Dengzhou to ask for credit.

"Perhaps it was just a coincidence that I caught this guy!" Chen Zhongsheng could only understand the news he heard in this way. He could even imagine that Wansheng had an excessive ego and infiltrated into Fushan County in disguise. However, he accidentally exposed his identity and was captured.

This section may still have good credibility. But since the county magistrate Zhang Pu CD is here, he will naturally come forward to meet him.

Zhang Pucheng's attitude was very upright. He had Wan Meng, who had broken his leg, carried on a stretcher into the magistrate's office, and he and his men waited in the courtyard for his boss to show up. He knew very well the impact of this matter, and the magistrate would definitely

Show up and deal with it, so there's no rush.

"I have met the prefect in my humble position!" Zhang Pucheng did not wait long before he saw Chen Zhongsheng rushing over, and immediately bowed to greet him.

"Master Zhang, no courtesy!" Chen Zhongsheng smiled, stretched out his hand to support Zhang Pucheng, but looked at Wan Meng on the ground and said: "Is this person Wan Meng, the bandit leader of the Wanjia Army?"

"It's this beast!" Zhang Pucheng made a gesture, and a subordinate immediately handed over a wanted order stamped with the seal of the Dengzhou Prefecture's Yamen. Although the picture on it was a bit abstract, the specific descriptions were all accurate.

Zhang Pucheng added: "My position has been certified by relevant personnel, and it is indeed absolutely correct."

Chen Zhongsheng continued to ask: "Then why is he locked on this stretcher? What is the meaning of putting a small ball in his mouth?"

Zhang Pucheng quickly explained: "This animal broke his right leg when he was captured, so he could only be moved on a stretcher. Locking him was to prevent him from trying to escape during the escort. As for the small ball in his mouth, it was to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

.”

The two ends of the gag ball with the belt attached to it were provided by the Haihan people. Zhang Pucheng didn't know the evil meaning in it, so he just followed the explanation given by the Haihan people and told Chen Zhongsheng.

Chen Zhongsheng's eyes did not stay on Wanmeng's face for too long. Because this guy was biting the ball in his mouth, the corners of his mouth were covered with saliva and foam, and he looked very disgusting. As for the matter of verifying his identity, there will be the following.

There was no need for him, the prefect, to do it himself. Since Zhang Pucheng had already boasted that he had verified his identity, and that it was a living person and not a dead body, there were many ways to verify his identity, so there shouldn't be any big mistakes.

However, Chen Zhongsheng still wanted to hear Zhang Pucheng's story again about how this guy was arrested, so he immediately invited Zhang Pucheng to the study room behind the court hall to talk. The purpose of Zhang Pucheng's coming to Dengzhou City was to repay his merits, so naturally he would not refuse at the moment.

He followed Chen Zhongsheng to the study room.

The two of them entered the room and sat down. The servants served hot tea. Zhang Pucheng then took out the document he had written and presented it: "Sir, regarding the process of bandit leader Wan Meng's abduction, my humiliation has been recorded in the record. Please take a look at it."

Chen Zhongsheng took it, opened it and read it carefully, with a look of surprise on his face: "According to your document, it was this business group from the south that helped the government capture Wanmeng?"

"That's true!" It's not that Zhang Pucheng doesn't want to take credit, it's just that the actual situation in Fushan County is here. If he insists on defeating Wanjiajun by himself, he can't deceive his boss at all. Moreover, Haihan people were outside Fushan County twice

In the battle with Wanjiajun, the county did not even dare to open the city gate. There are too many people who know about this matter. The bullshit that is being blown out now will be exposed sooner or later. Even if the boss does not pursue it, he will still be in the heart of the boss.

It gives a bad impression that he is overjoyed at his achievements, talks nonsense, and deceives his superiors and deceives his subordinates. Instead of seeking credit like this, it is better to tie the reasons why Haihan people are willing to contribute to the government to himself and gain a share of credit from the side.

Zhang Pucheng made it very clear in his written report that the reason why the Haihan business group from the south was willing to spend money and manpower to assist the government in dealing with Wanjiajun was because there was an old acquaintance of his named Ha in the business group, and he was inspired by righteousness.

There will be such an action. Of course, the sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Zhang Pucheng did not forget to mention that the county garrison fought risklessly during the action, causing huge casualties to the Wanjia Army.

Chen Zhongsheng still has a basic idea of ​​how many troops are stationed in Fushan County. Chen Zhongsheng doesn't quite believe that relying on the county garrison can create enough trouble for the Wanjia Army. If this is really the case, how can the Wanjia Army be able to do so on the landing?

The state has survived for several years, and not only has it not been wiped out, it has also grown in size. Thinking about it from this, I am afraid that the foreign Haihan merchant group was the main force in suppressing the bandits.

This is not the only time Chen Zhongsheng has heard news related to Haihan recently. In fact, before this, Qishan Qianhusuo, located on the east side of Fushan County, sent news that a Haihan business group from the south had settled on Zhifu Island.

It also built a port, and its fleet was quite large, with a thousand people. The Haihan merchant group assisting the government in Fushan County this time should obviously be the same group of people as those on Zhifu Island.

In order to confirm this, Chen Zhongsheng asked Zhang Pucheng again: "Are they the ones occupying Zhifu Bay to build the port now?"
Chapter completed!
