Chapter 1064: The gust of wind rushes up (Last Part)
Of course, Li Cunjin and others who were besieged in the Salt Temple were not able to support them for long. After a long battle, they were forced to start killing horses and drinking blood to calm their hunger and thirst.
However, the local people who surrounded them outside began to talk about lit bundles of firewood, which were thrown one after another under the outer wall of the Salt Temple. Although it could not be ignited, the strong smoke from the wind gushed into them was so dizzy that they were so angry that their eyes and noses were redder.
But this was not over yet. Then, amid the exclamation and shouting, a small cannon cart was pushed up outside the blocked gate of the Salt Temple. The sparse balls that splashed out from the roar broke through the temple door bunker and the dozens of soldiers behind them, and the remaining people also threw away their mounts and rushed to break through the wall.
However, Li Cunjin, as the primary target, rushed into the salt flat north of the Salt Temple in the smoke without discerning direction. Then he ran slowly and deeper and deeper. In the end, most of his body was trapped in the semi-solidified salt brine paste because of the weight of his clothes and armor. He was soaked half to death and was captured.
Not long after, the city of Anyi, which was closed in four gates, opened the city again, but it had already changed into the world. On the battlefield outside the southern gate of Anyi, the prisoners of Shizhou Army, covered in blood-faced faces were taken over by local people, and nodded or happily replaced them with bags of grain and small bundles of cloth.
In this joyful atmosphere, beside Wang Guoer, who belonged to the surveying and mapping officer of the camp, the guide and salt husband's head who was leading the way by the female salt pond, also asked carefully:
"I dare to ask how your army plans to deal with Jie Chi in the future..."
"Of course, it was included in the public business as usual."
Wang Guoer
"Well, I dare to ask, how should we shantytown children succeed?"
The old sling head smiled humbly again:
"Of course, I will be free from being restricted. If I am willing to continue to keep it and live, my army will pay on the spot. If I have any other plans, I will find a way out!"
Wang Guoer seemed to see his thoughts and smiled slightly:
"The Gui army is really a benevolent and righteous army"
The old Pengtou couldn't help but smile, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.
"Of course, you can have another choice if you have some help in the army, that is, you can change your career as a traveler."
However, when Wang Guoer said:
"What, is that possible? We can also go and sell salt on our own?"
The old pilgrim shouted in disbelief:
"Of course this is the case. In the future, the salt produced by each pond will be operated and produced by the Duke of the Governor. Except for the bulk allocated and transferred by the fixed amount, the rest can be sold by local people in other places, and basically no ban will be prohibited."
Wang Guoer said slowly:
"However, a certain qualification certification and related guarantee is required. For example, the record of working for our army can also be a priority."
When Lao Pengtou heard this, he was inevitably surrounded by some ecstasy. He should know that his original expectations were just to let his fellow villagers move from the bitter and evil girl to the Jiechi, a prolific rich man who was controlled and monopolized by others.
You should know that in addition to the salt man in charge of daily drying and the salt cubes transported by daily drying, there were actually some so-called salt households in the long run, all local households with certain strength and wealth, responsible for the reprocessing and retail sales of salt cubes.
However, with the inheritance and evolution of Hezhong Town in all dynasties, the benefits of salt removal have been strengthened, and these salt households will inevitably be harvested one after another. However, as long as the output benefits of the pool are still there, new salt households will always be born.
Even many years ago, after Wang Chongrong raised an army in Puzhou and occupied Anyi, and the bamboos in Jie County, these salt households became the foundation for his start. However, when he firmly grasped the situation in Hezhong Town, he did not hesitate to liquidate these former supporters.
Therefore, the benefits of Jiechi are almost monopolized by the Wang family headed by Wang Chongrong, as well as related relatives, subordinates, etc. Now that Wang Jieshuai has fallen, the people who depend on him will inevitably receive liquidation and chase.
The gaps and gaps left behind are enough to make all those who are informed break the heads and fight. And are they the salt husband's heads who have helped the Taiping Army just taking the lead? This is a great thing that fell out of thin air.
Although they have never had experience in trafficking and have no corresponding capital; this is not a problem or trouble in the face of huge expectations of interests. As long as they can obtain the permission promised by the Taiping Army, aren't people willing to use capital to join forces?
You know, the father of the Wang Dashui came to the local area from Daibei to serve, and he was alone. Thinking of this, he became more and more grateful that he had made the decision. Now he was afraid that he would envy those who lived in Hejie County, and those other dozens of salt husbands were living in Hejie County.
Later, after watching the old man who had always left, even if he was surprised and fell, he could not hide his joy and was happy. Wang Guoer smiled slightly and let out a deep breath.
Of course, what he said was not groundless. As the instructors received by the northbound troops, it would be better to temporarily stabilize these local groups who have made a living with salt ponds for generations.
Because these people are no longer as good as ordinary villagers who live on land and soil, they have both a certain organizational coordination and a brave tradition of fighting and fighting to live; therefore, they are also quite close to the original rebels in class positions, and have been used as a potential source of troops by the governors of all generations for many years.
Therefore, after appropriate differentiation and transformation, it can not only eliminate and resolve possible local unstable factors, but also obtain potential cooperation and support in a sense, as well as the future local military resources for subsequent cleaning work.
After all, although the interests of Jiechi are considerable, it is not as good as the female pool that can produce other nitrifiers, including Glauber's salt, which is more valued by the Taiping Army. On the other hand, the salt production and sales industry in the Taiping Army has become quite developed and has its own system, and the Jiechi is just an icing addition to the cake.
Two days later, the last and largest group of soldiers in the river in Quwo, Jiangzhou; more than 5,000 regiments stationed at Hankou in the northern end of Zhiguan Xing trained troops. Under the leadership of the guard general, three thousand troops were divided into two to take over Quwo, and halfway through the way to take over Quwo, they were kicked by the Taiping Pioneer Horse Team.
As a result, these long-standing regiments were relatively tough in training, and they could still shoot archers on the spot to counterattack and contain them when they were far away. However, once they were approached by the Taiping Cavalry and threw a round of explosive bombs in front of them, they suddenly collapsed on the spot and were defeated.
So, the remaining two thousand defenders in Hankou were also attacked from both sides and finally dropped their weapons and surrendered. For a moment, as the two ends of Zhiguanxing between Wangwu Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain were opened, the forces of the Taiping Army camp between Hebei, Henan and Hedong were completely connected.
But a hundred or eighty miles further north, Wang Yun and Wang Gong, who were in the siege of Jinzhou Linfen City, led the defenders again, had disputes and conflicts, and then they parted in public on the city. However, they soon had to return to the city.
