Chapter 85 Takeover of Camp City

Zhou Wentong was basically shocked when he heard what Fatty Wang said. He knew that this incident would never be insincere and would explode one day, but he could not have thought it would come so quickly.

Fatty Wang didn't care whether he was in a daze or not, he asked directly: "Please give a correct letter, when will you pay back the money?"

Zhou Wentong broke the jar and said, "Since you said that, you can't pay back the money."

Fatty Wang sneered and said, "I can't pay it back. I'll tell you. When the court orders it will deprive you of your official position, I will detain you, peel you up and remove your bones. Anyway, you can owe anyone money, but you can't owe me Fatty Wang."

Zhou Wentong knew that he was completely finished, so he had to beg him and said, "Mr. Wang, please beg for a period of time. The Japanese official will go to collect taxes in person and will definitely pay you back the money."

Fatty Wang said, "I can give your second concubine here for a while. Can I send you a few days to enjoy it? As long as I pay back the money one day, I will send it back to you one day."

Since the accident happened, Zhou Wentong sold everything he could at home. He had nothing to sell except his wife and concubine. Now the other party actually made up his mind to her. He was so angry that he said angrily: "What does this mean? You are just polite and sweeping the floor."

Fatty Wang spitted a saliva directly and spit it on his face. He cursed: "Damn it! Still gentle? Today I will send someone to take your concubine over. Those who know the truth will raise money quickly. Otherwise, buy one free of charge, don't blame me."

After Fatty Wang made a harsh statement, he took his group of evil slaves and mischievous slaves away, leaving Zhou Wentong and a group of yamen runners and river chiefs in the wind.

When the evil slaves left, the captain Li Xiaoqiang ran out again. He said, "What should I do now, sir?"

Zhou Wentong sighed in his heart: "The hair-removing phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken." He said: "I don't know what to do now. Let's go back to the county government first and then make a long-term plan."

However, when they returned to the county government, they found that his followers had all been exposed, and only the yamen runners were left by their side. The advantage of the yamen runners was that they were not invited by the magistrate, but by the county government, they were formal workers. The yamen runners were all temporary workers, and all temporary workers ran away.

Zhou Wentong lamented: "It's rich and powerful, but it's not a common struggle."

Zhou Wentong returned to the county government with great worries, thinking about what to make a name tomorrow and collect more taxes. His concubine brought him a cup of tea. The second concubine was pale. She said, "Wang Wensheng in the city threatened to steal my concubine and be the temporary wife. You must make the decision for me."

Zhou Wentong had no choice but to say: "Wang Wensheng was just annoyed and talk nonsense for a moment. Just ignore him. Don't go out these days, don't go out, even if you go burn incense, just stay in the government office."

He didn't dare to fight against the other party openly, but he also knew that the other party should not dare to rush into the government office and rob people directly. His wife hid in the county office, and it was probably safe.

But the second concubine said, "How can I not go out? Now the easy-going servants have all run away. If I don't go out, who will buy rice and who will buy vegetables?"

When Zhou Wentong said that all the servants had run away, he was very angry. He said, "A group of bad slaves, after the master has done this matter, they must be caught back after passing this level. Each of them will beat 50 big boards and be exiled to 3,000 miles to relieve the hatred in my heart."

Zhou Wentong said, "You should listen to me. Don't go out recently, just let Yan Qing go shopping for vegetables?" Yan Qing is his main house. He is over 50 years old this year and is old and has a weak temperament. I don't know if the second concubine is young and beautiful. He also knows that if his second concubine is snatched away by the other party, he will lose all his face, which can be considered a gentle and a joke in this area.

Zhou Wentong has been in panic since he knew that the other party had threatened to sue the court. He knew that once the superiors knew about this, he would immediately order his position to be removed. Once he was dismissed, he would be dead. However, as for what to do in the future, he would not know what to do for a while, so he had to take one step at a time.

After Liu Bu took over Jimo Camp strongly, he began to check the information and snippets in the camp. Jimo Camp can be said to be one of the most miserable areas in the Wuqiao mutiny last year. Even the camp city was breached by rebels. Most of the houses were burned, and more than half of the people in the city were killed or injured. Now there are so many people living here, they moved in and stayed with the refugees. It can be said that the once majestic Jimo Camp is actually half-waste. Now the camp staff cannot take the responsibility of guarding the side. Now the remaining remaining soldiers and defeated generals do not even have a fraction of the original ones. They just grow vegetables and farm in the local area and barely make a living.

Moreover, the battle last year completely broke their souls and disappeared, and they did not dare to join the army anymore. Even if the new General Qiang Lord came to summon him, many of them could hide. Maybe the idea was to rather be a cowardly Taiping Dog than join the army anymore.

Judging from their situation, it was even worse than the Fushan Institute. They had troubled forty or fifty people in Fushan Institute, but there was basically no one here. Those who came to sign up for him were either disabled or disabled. I guess they had an idea. You, Lord Qian, can't let a disabled person join the army and go to war.

When Liu Bu saw these people so miserable, he had no choice but to know that he could not fry any oil and water from here, so he had to order the more than 200 people who came to report each to receive 50 kilograms of rice.

These people are so miserable, what else can he do?

These defeated generals saw that the Qianhu was not furious and rewarded them 50 meters each. Then they thanked them very much. After they inquired, they found out that the new Qiancheng Lord was originally from Jiaozhou and the eldest son of the famous Liu family in Linqing, Shandong. The princes of the aristocratic family were indeed extraordinary. Each of them rewarded 20 kilograms of meters. They were very happy and expressed their gratitude again.

Liu Bu asked Liu Zhongyong to transfer 800 servants to come here, including 100 archers. Their current personnel can still defend the Jimo Camp's garrison.

After Liu Zhongyong brought the troops here, he handed over the troops to Liu Kang. Liu Yu and the others were responsible, so he returned to Fushan to continue training.

When Liu Bu and his fellow arrogance were too big, they found that they still lacked their foundation and had few officers available. For example, there were not many officers around him now. Liu Kang used to be his servant, and Liu Yu was even an empty young man. He was overly drunk and sexy, and was able to run out in a suit of armor. In addition, Yang Sheng and Mao Shengli were some of them? Fortunately, he had a reserve candidate and promoted a group of talents from the servants who had performed well recently. Wu and others served as grassroots command officers.

Liu Bu sighed that he should not have the aura of a turtle. He had been here for so long and had dealt with him directly, including Chen Yuanyuan and Song Xiance. There were so many celebrities and so many powerful generals in the late Ming Dynasty, but he did not recruit any celebrities. Instead, the enemy had brought a lot of enemies.

After all, Liu Bu has been in charge of Fushan Sect for so long, so he has gained a little bit of money for how to manage a military camp. Jimo Camp is a small city.

He knew that the most important thing to run a city was food, clothing, housing and transportation. They had some experience in this regard, so the next step was to solve the problem of food. He went to Jimoying's granary, which was covered with weeds and the mice were starving to death, and he could not free up any food, so he had to order people to transport a batch of food from Fushan before talking about it.

The Taiping Army's food is the best at present, and they need a lot of meat. They are still buying it in nearby villages or Jimo County in the short term, but this is not a solution, so Liu Bu decided to organize people to raise them here.

They opened pig farms, chicken farms, duck farms, and bedding factories and farms here, preparing to recruit a large number of people to do these logistics things for him. If his troops want to gain a foothold here, they must first start with these logistics things.

The first thing to solve is the problem of food and clothing, but the first thing to solve is food. They can transport a large amount of food from Linqing to the place. His soldiers are enough to not starve, but he can't bear to see the more than 2,000 military people in Jimo Camp starring. He saw that the elderly and children in these cities were all hungry, and the adults and the elderly looked numb. After Liu Bu walked around the city, he came up with a result, which was that he felt very uncomfortable. Even if a military camp was like this, those rural areas that were worse than the military camp and were more tax-bearing should be even worse.

So after Liu Bu's military rations arrived, he immediately ordered a portion of the military rations to be allocated for disaster relief.

The method was to first give each of these people 20 kilograms of meters to let them support them for a while. Later, he began to open his pig farms, duck farms, and chicken farms in large quantities. They bought these pigs and chickens to open factories, recruited people, and let some elderly people and women do things within their ability. To be honest, it would be impossible to support more than 2,000 people in the entire Jimo Camp, and he could not afford it. However, by arranging the other party to do some easy logistics work for them, which not only provided jobs, but also reduced the logistics pressure of the Taiping Army. This was a killing two birds with one stone.
