Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 183 Strong land is a piece of fat

Dongcheng Coal Mine.

It is the closest to Shunshengchuan, but it is the westernmost area under the jurisdiction of the strong military government.

Fan Yongdou went all the way, full of emotion.

The carriage he was riding in was changed from the previous two-wheeled cart to a four-wheeled cart.

This four-wheeled carriage was bought in Qiangdi at a high price.

After sitting there once, Fan Yongdou was immediately astonished.

This four-wheeled carriage is simply too comfortable.

Of course, it also has something to do with the road surface.

Since entering Qiangdi territory, the road surface has turned into a cement road surface, which is extremely smooth.

The four-wheeled carriage is spacious and comfortable, and the wheels are stable. When driving on the concrete road, you can't feel the slightest bump.

What Fan Yongdou was most afraid of before was going out.

In this era, road traffic is not just talk.

This carriage has wooden wheels.

There is a saying that goes well, "The rope is straight in the wood, the wheel is the wheel, and the rule is in the curve."

The wheels are made of burnt and bent wood.

One can imagine how bumpy it is when driving on a bumpy dirt road.

When a person sits in the car, he can knock out his meal overnight.

Moreover, if you are a little careless, the wheels may be smashed, and everyone in the car may fall out.

In contrast, this four-wheeled carriage and the cement road are simply too comfortable!
"This four-wheeled carriage is really comfortable. If you get a few, give it to Dahan, and then send it to the capital..."

Fan Yongdou's first idea was to use such a four-wheeled carriage to curry favor with the dignitaries.

It would be even better if the four-wheeled carriage was made by their Fan family.

The windows of the four-wheeled carriage are actually made of glass and push-pull.

When it is opened, the wind blows in, looking at the people working in the fields outside the window.

Looking at the pedestrians on the road, almost everyone is wearing new clothes, and there are many people riding horses.

Xiaoxiaoqiang is unexpectedly so rich.

This kind of scene is something that Fan Yongdou has never seen in the most affluent Jiangnan.

What surprised Fan Yongdou even more was that the martial arts were very strong, and almost everyone in the young and strong carried a sword.

The most common one on this road is a weapon called a machete, with a wide back, extremely sharp, and a red silk tie on the handle.

Moreover, when everyone was discussing, as long as Mr. Zhao was mentioned, they all admired him very much, saying that they dared to fight to the death for Mr. Zhao.

This is not only true of Qiangdi, but also of the chemical marketing camps and third forts seen along the way.

The combined population of several places, together with the gathered refugees, roughly estimated that there are almost tens of thousands of people.

Doesn't this mean that if there is a real war in the strong land, as long as Zhao Cheng ascends to the top and shouts, tens of thousands of warriors who dare to fight will follow him?

Fan Yongdou took a breath of air.

Without showing the mountains and not showing the water, in this border town of Xuanfu, such a force has risen unexpectedly.

"Fortunately, the surname Zhao committed suicide, and he only brought more than 1000 people with him, and went out of the fortress, and even claimed to attack Shengjing... Ha ha!"

Fan Yongdou sneered.

The strong land army is indeed quite capable of fighting.

Fan Yongdou has already seen this point, and he absolutely does not deny it.

However, Zhao Cheng only brought more than 1000 people, and they were like a drop of water in the ocean on the vast grassland.

These more than 1000 people, let alone fighting continuously, will be very exhausted. Under the attack of the Jin Kingdom and the Mongolian coalition forces, they will undoubtedly lose.

Even after winning the battle, how could Xuanfu Town compare to the vastness of the grassland?
Fan Yongdou has been doing business all year round and is very familiar with the environment beyond the Great Wall.

More than 1000 people, without much supplies, walked towards Shengjing.

Not to mention someone like Zhao Cheng who has no experience outside the Great Wall, even he, or an experienced shopkeeper in their firm, might not be sure to bring these 1000 people.

The chance of Zhao Cheng coming back alive is very small!
That's why Fan Yongdou made up his mind to make plans early.

Once Zhao Cheng died, he would be a piece of fat.

Their Fan family must eat more.

On the strong ground, what he saw was monolithic, and he could hardly see anything.

The only chance is at Dongcheng Coal Mine.

He wanted to try to see if he could win Liu Fei over.

If Liu Fei is willing to support him and join the Fan family, there will be no worries.

Fan Yongdou pondered all the way, and arrived at Dongcheng Coal Mine

……

Liu Fei stationed here with a strong army under the general banner.

After Zhao Cheng led his army to leave the Qiangdi expedition, Liu Fei gained power again and recruited 100 people.

A few months ago, he was just a little-known nighter.

Now, there are more than 100 people under his command. Except for Zhao Cheng, there are only a few people who can be equal to him in terms of status in the strong land.

But Liu Fei was not happy, but rather depressed.

When Zhao Cheng went north to fight, he took Niu Dali and other confidants with him, but if he didn't take him, that's fine.

It was not Liu Fei, but Zhao Chunfa who stayed in the strong place.

Zhao Chunfa was in charge of training new recruits in the strong ground, and the three thousand new recruits were all under Zhao Chunfa's orders.

The merchants who came and went, as well as the old friends from the strong land, when talking, besides Mr. Zhao, Zhao Chunfa was indispensable in the conversation.

Zhao Chunfa seems to have a tendency to become No.1 under Mr. Zhao.

Everyone has jealousy.

Seeing that a person who was not as good as him suddenly became prosperous and tended to stand on top of him, Liu Fei was naturally secretly unhappy.

Although it is delicious and delicious, Huazi smokes it every day, and it seems that it has no taste.

Fan Yongdou is very good at doing things. He first bribed a small banner officer under Liu Fei.

Liu Fei was dissatisfied in his heart. Although he didn't say it out loud, he was not so active when doing things, and the requirements of his subordinates were not as strict as Zhao Chunfa's.

Fan Yongdou was keenly aware of this.

However, with the experience of failing to buy Ding Qiang in Huai'an City, he didn't dare to directly buy Liu Fei.

In the business field for a long time, the most important thing to do business is to get the support of local officials.

Fan Yongdou was all too familiar with the experience of dealing with magistrates.

If you can't do it directly, then come in a tactful way.

Flies do not bite seamless eggs.He didn't believe that the strong army was really seamless?

Fan Yongdou first started with Liu Fei's subordinates.

Their Fan family is very powerful in this area. Through a young man, they got in touch with a small banner official named Zhang Neng.

The military discipline of the strong land army is very strict.

Fan Yongdou didn't directly bribe Zhang Neng, the little flag official, but let the little boy entertain Zhang Neng as a fellow villager.

There are more than 100 strong local troops stationed in Dongcheng Coal Mine.

The income of the strong land army is very high.

There are also miners.

Mining workers are divided into grades, and some prisoners of war who are sent over naturally have no income.

But some are young and strong recruits, and their income is not low.

In a short period of time, the business atmosphere has been stimulated here.

Many small traders who used to do business in Dongcheng came to the mining area.

The guy from Fan's family invited Zhang Neng to have dinner in the newly opened restaurant.

At the beginning, Zhang Neng felt embarrassed and had to ask back every time.

The two are treated like brothers.

After getting acquainted with each other, that guy invited Zhang Neng to dinner at his home in Dongcheng when he was on vacation.

At the dinner table, the guy's "sister" came out to pour wine.

Zhang Neng glanced at it, but couldn't move his eyes away.

This little girl has a graceful figure and a handsome appearance.

This is actually a skinny horse that Fan Yongdou bought from Yangzhou.

The Fan family has cultivated many such women, who are used to deal with dignitaries.

Even dignitaries who are used to seeing beautiful women often cannot pass their level.

What's more, a rough old man like Zhang Neng?

A few months ago, Zhang Neng was just a dilapidated military household?

"Sun Hu, you don't look very good, but your sister is really pretty!" Zhang Neng couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course. My sister, but my boss has taken a fancy to her and wants to hire her as a concubine!

From now on, our grandson family will honor our ancestors, and we will point to my little sister. "Sun Hu's tone was somewhat showing off.

This made Zhang Neng secretly think it's a pity.

Such a beautiful little girl wants to marry a half-grown old man?
Of course, he only said congratulations on the surface.

For a young man like Sun Hu, if his younger sister can marry the boss, that is really a high branch.

The Fan family's business is quite big, who in Xuanfu Town doesn't know about it?

Next, Sun Hu kept toasting, Zhang Neng's mood fluctuated, and he couldn't help drinking a few more glasses, feeling more and more confused.

He only remembered that at the end he only saw Sun Hu's younger sister in front of him...

Then, he was woken up by someone.

It was daylight.

Zhang Neng saw that at some point he was lying on the bed, naked, and Sun Hu's sister was crying beside him.

Sun Hu's eyes were bigger than a bull's, and he was holding a wooden stick in his hand.

Zhang Neng felt his body burn, it was from being beaten by Sun Hu.

"Sun Pot! What do you mean?"

Zhang Neng was taken aback, and habitually wanted to touch the revolver, but it was in vain.

Then he saw his revolver being thrown on the ground.

"What do you mean? Zhang Neng! I treat you as a brother, because we are from the same village, and I have been entertaining you with delicious food and drinks, and I have given you heart and soul, but you have insulted my sister! I...I will fight with you!"

Sun Hu looked angry, said, and swung his stick again, fighting Zhang Neng desperately.

Zhang Neng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Not because he was afraid that Sun Hu would beat him.

Sun Hu's physique is not considered strong, even with a stick in his hand, Zhang Neng is not afraid.

Zhang Neng has experienced strong military training and learned the martial arts in the army taught by Mr. Zhao himself. He practiced hard every day, which is not something ordinary people can deal with.

What he is afraid of is the military discipline of the strong army.

The army of Qiangdi has strict military discipline. In addition to drills, they also need to read and learn military discipline every day.

Anyone who dares to defile a woman from a good family is a death penalty!Is to be shot!

Zhang Neng has just had a good few days and is full of expectations for the future. He doesn't want to die!

Ping Pong Pong!

At this time, Sun Hu had already come down with a stick.

Zhang Neng could only raise his hand to block it, because he was wronged and dared not fight back.

"I'm dead! I'm ashamed to see people!"

Sun Hu's younger sister was disheveled and her eyes were swollen from crying.

While talking, he lowered his head and slammed into the corner of the table next to him.

"Girl!"

Zhang Neng was startled, and rushed over, trying to rescue Sun Hu's sister.

He practiced every day, and his movements were nimble, even so, he was half a beat too slow.

Sister Sun Hu's forehead had already hit the corner of the table.

There was a "bang", and blood flowed.

If he had hesitated for a moment, the collision would have definitely killed him.

Obviously, sister Sun Hu is determined to die!
"Let the slave die! What face does the slave have?"

"Sister! You can't die! If you die, the boss comes to ask for someone, and we can't hand it over, what should we do? The boss is angry, it's nothing for my brother to lose this job, I'm afraid the boss won't let it go... Our whole family has no way out!"

Sun Hu cried and persuaded.

"However, the slave family has already lost their virginity. Even if they are alive, they can no longer marry Yuan Yuan. Our family will not have a good result!" Sister Sun Hu wanted to cry.

Zhang Neng couldn't help feeling flustered for a while.

Snapped!
He slapped himself hard.

Confused!

How confused!
Why did he do such a wrong thing in a daze?

"Brother Sun Hu! Brother, I'm sorry! You did such a foolish thing! You...you kill brother!"

Zhang Neng gritted his teeth, picked up his waist knife from the ground, drew it out, and handed it to Sun Hu, with his neck bent and his eyes closed.

"Brother, come here! You killed brother, and brother didn't complain. It's brother's fault!"

Zhang Neng patted himself on the neck and signaled Sun Hu to do it.

He was so distraught that he just wanted to die straight away.

As long as he is dead, Mr. Zhao is benevolent and will not hold his family accountable if he wants to.

According to the rules of the strong land army, if you die in battle, your family will be well taken care of and you can live well in strong land.

But if you betray Qiangdi, even if you die, your family members will not be able to live in Qiangdi anymore, and you will be discriminated against...

In severe cases, they may even be directly expelled from the strong ground.

Zhang Neng has parents on the top and wives and children on the bottom.

He felt that he was really too confused.

A momentary gaffe after drinking not only destroys the future, but also makes it difficult for the family to live a good life.

That's it!

Zhang Neng only wanted to die.

However, the knife did not fall.

Jingle!

Sun Hu threw the knife heavily on the ground.

"So what if I kill you? My sister has been defiled by you, a bastard, and we can't explain to the boss. Even if we kill you, our family will not have a good life!"

Sun Hu sighed heavily, squatting on the ground, a good boy, tears streaming down his face.

Sister Sun Hu was also crying beside her.

For a moment, Zhang Neng really felt that he was too inhuman.

"and me!"

Zhang Neng stood up abruptly, slapped his chest heavily, and made a loud bang.

"Brother Sun Hu, don't worry! Sister..."

Zhang Neng wanted to say that my sister is at ease, but he glanced at Sister Sun Hu, lowered his head, and was not ashamed to say it.

He has done a lot of harm.

"Don't worry! With Zhang Neng here, I won't let you be wronged. I'll stay here and wait for the owner of the Fan family to come over!
I came to talk to him.If he insists on being reasonable and unforgiving, it's a big deal..."

A fierce light flashed in Zhang Neng's eyes.
