Chapter 260 Development
After the western territory of Dayuan was occupied by Han Chufan's Northwest Army, two armies were stationed to prevent the barbarians from counterattacking.

In Ping'an City, the Northwest Army has also begun a new round of military expansion. This time it wants to recruit five more armies.

Now that Han Chufan's territory is larger, more troops are needed to guard the four directions.

With the grain output and financial resources of Northwest Military Town, it is not a problem to support an army of 10,000+.

Relying on the First Bank, Northwest Cotton Trading Company, Ping'an City Cigarette Factory, Ping'an City Liquor Factory, etc., these hugely profitable industries, Northwest Military Town can achieve fiscal revenue of 8000 to [-] million taels of silver every year, which has surpassed the entire Great Xia. The government's fiscal revenue.

Moreover, the northwest military town has been exploiting fertile land, and the grain harvest has been bumper year after year, and the grain depots with so much grain cannot be filled.

With such strong fiscal revenue and food production, the Northwest Army Town would have no problem supporting tens of thousands more troops.

After the news of the expansion of the Northwest Army came out, countless young men came to sign up.

The benefits of the Northwest Army are really good. As long as you join the Northwest Army, you can be assigned a house in Ping'an City.

After joining the Northwest Army, you can also be allocated ten acres of fertile land. The land allocated now is all in northern Xinjiang.

Soldiers who do not want to go to northern Xinjiang to farm the land allocated to them can be contracted out and wait for their share every year.

The taxes on farming in Northwest Military Town are very low, and there is no situation of squeezing farmers like other places in Daxia. People can farm with peace of mind.

With houses and land, people's lives will be smooth.

Houses and land have always been the most important things for the people at the bottom of the human race.

Moreover, after joining the Northwest Army, there will be stable pay.

Ordinary corporal soldiers also have a salary of 10 taels of silver every year, which can ensure that their family can live a life of food and clothing.

Even if he dies in battle in the future, he will receive a very generous pension.

It can be said that as long as they successfully join the Northwest Army, their family can live a good life and their social status will be improved.

In the northwest military towns, soldiers have a high status.

Therefore, countless young men are rushing to join the Northwest Army.

Pang Zhenxi implemented the New Deal in Weizhou, and Xu Hongyi personally presided over the implementation of the "equal land system".

They wanted to confiscate the land of the big landowners and officials and distribute it to the Tian Suppressing Army and the people under their rule.

This idea is good, and it has won the support and support of many people.

But when it comes to actually implementing it, it is very difficult.

The big landowners, officials and gentry colluded with the top leaders of the Tianzhen Army, and still controlled a large amount of land.

Very little land can be distributed to the people.

However, this can be regarded as the progress of the Tianzhen Army. They are no longer simple thieves and are developing towards a higher class.

Xu Hongyi also publicized well to the outside world. He sent people everywhere in Yuzhou to spread the word that everyone in the areas under the rule of the Tian Suppressing Army could be allocated land.

Most of the people who did not have much knowledge believed that the Tian Suppressing Army would really give them land, and looked forward to the arrival of the Tian Suppressing Army.

With the support of the people, the Zhentian Army quickly expanded its territory, defeated the Dao Camp and the Tiger Camp, and captured one-half of Yuzhou's land.

In Xinhai City, Yuzhou.

"Your Majesty, the current Tian Suppressing Army is too strong. It has swept away several rebel armies and has a strong tendency to unify Weizhou. What should we do?" Ke Jiu's cronies asked.

Kejiu was lying on the throne. His throne was made of pure gold and was extremely luxurious.

Kejiu also frowned. Today's Tianzhen Army has grown to more than 10,000 people. Even his Liushan Battalion can hardly block Pang Zhenxi's attack.

"Let me think about it."

Kejiu was in a very depressed mood and found three or four beautiful girls to sleep with her at night to vent her frustration.

"Damn it, if Pang Zhenxi really dares to provoke me, I'll have a fight with him."

Kejiu put her worries behind her and continued to enjoy her life.

A month later, Pang Zhenxi's sky-suppressing army swept away all other rebels.

The entire Weizhou, except Kejiu's territory, was occupied by Pang Zhenxi.

The news that Pang Zhenxi was about to attack Ke Jiu reached Ke Jiu's ears.

The Tiantian Army now has a strength of 15, and Ke Jiu dare not fight at all.

Taking his [-] Liushan camp with him, he escaped from Yuzhou and headed towards Caizhou.

"Pang Zhenxi, I will come back one day, and then we will settle old and new scores together." Kejiu said to herself through gritted teeth.

At this point, Pang Zhenxi occupied the entire Yuzhou.

In a village near Xinhai City.

The Zhentian army successfully occupied this place and began to search for food in the village.

"Heavenly soldiers, this is the few rations our family has. You can't take it away."

An old man knelt on the ground, pleading.

The heaven-suppressing army in Pang Zhenxi is called the heavenly army.

The people in the surrounding villages were originally under the rule of Kejiu Liushan Camp and were ruthlessly exploited by Liushan Camp.

When they heard that the Tian Suppressing Army was coming, they were originally very happy.

Now the Tian Suppressing Army's land equalization system has spread throughout Yuzhou, and it is said that when the Tian Suppressing Army comes, they will allocate fields to them.

Most of the people in the village are tenant farmers and are full of desire for land. They are very excited to be able to allocate fields soon.

But they didn't expect that when the Tianzhen Army came, instead of allocating fields to them, they took away their food rations.

"Old guy, get out of here. We heavenly soldiers haven't eaten yet today. What's wrong with eating your rations? Get out of here quickly, or I'll chop you to death with a knife."

The new camp thief of the Suppressing Heaven Army said fiercely.

"Didn't you say that when the heavenly soldiers come, they will allocate fields to us? How could this happen?" the old man said disappointedly.

"Just because this old guy still wants to divide the land, what kind of virtue can he show by pissing himself?"

"That's right, the fields are all ours, and it's your turn. Haha, it's really ridiculous." The two thieves mocked.

Every time the next place is captured, the senior leaders of the Tianzhen Army will get most of the land, and they, the soldiers, can also drink soup and get part of the land.

There is very little land that can be distributed to the local people, and it is just a pretense.

If we really want people like them, who are used to being rebels, to allocate their fields to the people, how can this be possible?

If Pang Zhenxi and Xu Hongyi weren't personally in charge of the matter, they wouldn't even pretend.

At their core, they are just a group of thieves. Although they now occupy a state, they are still thieves at their core.

Most people don't have such lofty ambitions and just want to enjoy themselves.

"It's all a lie, a lie." After the thieves took away the old man's rations, the old man collapsed on the ground and cried.

How can their family live without these rations?

The same thing is happening throughout Weizhou.

These thieves will not only steal food, but also women. If anyone dares to resist, they will be hacked to death.

The heavenly soldiers that the people of Yuzhou had been waiting for, not only did not allocate land to them, but made their lives more difficult.Dingguo Gong Yan Chunxing finally mobilized the army.

Under his strong pressure, soldiers and horses from Caizhou, Jizhou, Xiangzhou, and Zhuozhou came to Xiangzhou, totaling more than [-] people.

"Old Cheng, long time no see!" Yu Mingda, the commander-in-chief of Litan Town in Caizhou, said to Cheng Rongxin, the commander-in-chief of Baiji Military Town in Xiangzhou.

The two met in the imperial capital three years ago.

"Old Yu, you're here too." Cheng Rongxin said with a smile after dismounting.

"I have no choice but to come. Our Lord Dingguo has given a death order this time and has to come." Yu Mingda said with a wry smile.

"Isn't that right? My health has not been good recently, and I was forced to lead the troops. The court will not care about our life and death." Cheng Rongxin complained.

He originally wanted to avoid sending troops in the name of being seriously ill, but under the pressure of the court and Duke Ding, he still did not escape.

"Hey, I heard that the rebels have already occupied the entire Weizhou, and it has become a big trend."

"This time, there are many dangers in suppressing bandits. Qi Zaiyu and Ban Shaokui's elite troops from Beizhen were all defeated, let alone us."

The two of them walked into the Chinese army's tent, each with their own little calculation in mind.

Naturally, the main focus of this time's suppression of thieves is to preserve their strength, and it is impossible for them to go all out.

Soon Yang Yonghao, the commander-in-chief of Gaoliu Town in Jizhou, and Tong Dong, the commander-in-chief of Bayang Town in Zhuozhou, also arrived.

Duke Dingguo walked in holding Shang Fang's sword and looked at the four generals.

"Meet Duke Dingguo." The four generals saluted one after another. Duke Dingguo of Daxia still had high prestige among the generals.

Duke Ding of the Xia Dynasty was the top military general in all dynasties of Daxia.

"No courtesy, it's really difficult to invite you all." Duke Dingguo said dissatisfied.

The general soldiers of the four towns waited for a month before bringing their troops to join together, missing the best opportunity to suppress the bandits.

Now that Pang Zhenxi has unified Weizhou, the strength of his troops has increased sharply, and it has become more difficult to suppress the thieves.

"The general is slightly ill. Please forgive me, Duke Ding."

"At the end of the day, we must be on guard against the rebels who have fled to Caizhou."

"The last general has also been fighting against the rebels recently."

The four general soldiers were all looking for excuses for not bringing their troops in time.

"Okay, let's forget what happened before." Yan Chunxing didn't have time to listen to their nonsense, so he interrupted them directly.

"Everyone, the rebels are becoming more and more rampant now and have occupied the entire Weizhou. We must send troops to destroy them as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the ruling foundation of the imperial court will be shaken.

I hope that all the general soldiers will work together to kill the thieves bravely. "

"Don't worry, Duke Ding, we will definitely do our best to wipe out the rebels." Cheng Rongxin and other general soldiers said with fists clasped.

They say it's good, but only the devil knows whether they will do their best to suppress the thieves.

Duke Dingguo nodded.

After the general soldiers left, the Deputy General of the Beijing Camp brought by Ding Guogong came over and said, "Guo Gong, these guys don't look like they will be dedicated to suppressing thieves."

"I can also see it, but what can I do? Now the court has no one available, so we can only use these guys.

These guys are very slippery, it is unrealistic to expect them to fight hard, so they can only make do with it. Yan Chunxing said helplessly.

In Daxia today, apart from Han Chufan's Northwest Army, only Beizhen's soldiers and horses still have some combat effectiveness.

But last time the entire armies of Datong Town and Taiying Town were wiped out, and there were not many soldiers left in Beizhen Town.

Moreover, Beizhen's soldiers and horses also need to be on guard against the powerful enemy Dagan Kingdom in the north, so they can no longer move easily.

The current rebel thieves are far less dangerous than the Wu clan.

The war between the human race and the witch race is a battle between the two races, which is far more important than the fight against the rebels.

"Oh, it would be great if His Majesty could let King Zhenbei come to suppress the rebels. Once the Northwest Army arrives, the rebels in Weizhou will be easily suppressed." Deputy General Kong Yuanjing said regretfully.

He once followed Wu'an Hou Minjian, participated in the Battle of Zhenbeiguan, and saw the power of the Northwest Army.

Even the most elite flag soldiers of the Wu clan are no match for the Northwest Army.

Kong Yuanjing highly admired Han Chufan, King of Zhenbei, whose Northwest Army was the most powerful army in the world.

"Your Majesty has his own ideas, which we cannot decide. Now we can only do our part and do our best to wipe out the rebels." Yan Chunxing said.

"Don't worry, my lord, the Beijing camp under my command will definitely fight to the end for you," Kong Yuanjing said.

He is Min Jian's favorite confidant. He is very loyal, has good personal martial arts, and has the strength at the peak of the Body Refining Realm.

This time, Min Jian was entrusted with the important task of leading two thousand elite Beijing troops to assist Yan Chunxing in suppressing the bandits.

After Kejiu led his troops to escape from Yuzhou, they crossed the border between the two states and came to Wu County, a small county in the west of Caizhou.

"Master, it's bad. There's a band of rebels coming into the city." In the house of Shan Zhengjian, the county magistrate of Wu County, his cronies shouted in panic.

"What? Why would the rebels dare to attack the county town?" Shan Zhengjian said in disbelief.

Although there are some rebels in Caizhou, they are all small forces with only a few thousand troops, which is incomparable to the rebels in Yuzhou.

The rebels in Caizhou are active in villages and towns, and I have never heard of any rebels who dare to attack the county town.

“There are so many of them, tens of thousands of them, you can’t see the edge at a glance.

Sir, please run away quickly, the county seat can no longer be defended. "The confidant said anxiously.

"Tens of thousands of rebels? Where did they come from? Okay, okay, I'll pack my things right now." Shan Zhengjian panicked and started to pack his belongings.

"Sir, what time has it been? I won't be able to run away after you finish cleaning up. Stop cleaning up and leave quickly." The confidant urged.

Half an hour later, Kejiu's Liushan Battalion broke through the county gate.

There are only a thousand defenders in Wu County, and their combat effectiveness is very low. They are no match for Ke Jiu.

"Your Majesty, this magistrate dog tried to escape and was caught by his brothers." Shan Zhengjian was thrown to the ground by the bandits.

"Are you the magistrate of Wu County?" Kejiu asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, please spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life. I am the magistrate of Wu County. As long as Your Majesty can let me go, I can do anything you want." Shan Zheng kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"I'll spare you, it depends on your performance."

"Your Majesty, please come to my house to rest first. There is good wine in my house." Shan Zheng said tremblingly.

"My shoes are dirty." Kejiu said, stretching out her feet.

"I'll clean it for your Majesty." Shan Zhengjian rushed over and wiped Kejiu's shoes with his own clothes.

As long as he could survive, he no longer cared about dignity.

"Haha, this is Daxia's official." Kejiu laughed loudly.

The surrounding men also laughed.
