Daming pirates

Chapter 46: Liu Yuanwai

Shandong people themselves are also quite tough. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that thieves came out of Shandong. In order to prevent thieves, each village, under the leadership of wealthy families, built walls and formed villages to protect themselves. Young men were selected from the village and made up their own

Practice the regiment and practice the country's bravery, which is used to guard against thieves.

Therefore, although Xishan Village suddenly built a large wall, it did not attract too much attention from the government. In addition, Liu Yuanwai, who bought a lot of land here, was very generous and managed everything in Ninghai Prefecture.

In place, no one from the government paid any attention to Liu Yuanwai's massive efforts to build a fort in Xishan Village.

And this Liu Yuan, whose surname is different from Liu, is from Dengzhou Prefecture. He was a small salesman in his early years, but now his secret identity is a lieutenant officer in the Sea Wolf Army, and he is also an intelligence officer under the Intelligence Department.

The officer, his name was Liu San, carried loads of goods all day long and walked around the countryside doing small business, and his life was pretty good. But then the area around Dengzhou Prefecture became more and more chaotic. He was robbed many times at first, and his business capital was completely lost.

Light.

So Liu BuTong simply took the risk and joined the bandits, gathering dozens of hungry people and started a business without capital. However, this guy was unlucky. Not long after he started working, he was beaten up by soldiers sent by the government.

He almost died, and he was looking at the government looking for him everywhere, and he might be caught and beheaded at any time.

Liu BuTong no longer dared to hang out in Dengzhou Prefecture, so he fled south quickly. Unexpectedly, he met someone recruiting refugees from Aoshanwei in Laizhou Prefecture to go south to farm. With no other way out, Liu BuTong got on the boat and entered the country.

Got the sea wolf guy.

After arriving on the island of Taiwan, Seawolf personnel conducted a school examination on him and found that Liu Butong was very knowledgeable, well-spoken, and very good at doing things. He also had some martial arts skills (in ancient times, salesmen who traveled from village to house, in order to defend themselves, would do some martial arts).

With some effort), and being from Shandong, his physical condition was quite good, so he was recruited into the army as a soldier.

Liu BuTong quickly stood out in the army and was found to be a good prospect by the execution hall. On the one hand, he was recruited into the execution hall and became a member of the army. On the other hand, he was promoted and sent to the Army Officer Academy for further study.

After completing three months of study in the Army Academy, he was discovered by the Intelligence Department and underwent intelligence training for half a year.

As a result, last year when Yu Xiaotian decided to send people to Denglai to conduct intelligence collection and preliminary deployment work, Liu BuTong was immediately selected and sent to Denglai.

Liu BuTong changed his current name, spent money to find connections, cleared his identity, and gained a new identity. He no longer worried about being arrested by the government, and he transformed into a businessman who made a fortune in the south.

, a local owner who wants to return to his hometown to buy some real estate.

Later, I found out that there was a large and run-down family in Xishan Village. They couldn't survive and wanted to sell their hundreds of acres of land, which was not very fertile, as well as their old house in the village. After Liu BuTong inspected it on the spot, he immediately decided to buy it at a high price.

With this land and his family's old house, he became a big landowner in Xishan Village.

At that time, many people secretly laughed at this guy for spending money indiscriminately. The land was not worth that much money at all, including the house, and they spent a lot of money in vain, treating him as a traitor.

When he first arrived in Xishan Village, there were some local gangsters who wanted to cause trouble for him and extort some money. However, as soon as these gangsters took action, they found that they had hit a brick wall.

Liu BuTong led more than a dozen servants, all of whom were good hands. They were ruthless and ruthless in their actions. In addition, they dared to spend money to smoothen their relationships. They ran up and down the government offices. Some local ruffians were beaten to death and their arms were broken.

Legs, but I didn’t dare to sue.

Two of the more ruthless guys tried to gather more gangsters to come and cause trouble, but suddenly and for unknown reasons, they disappeared inexplicably.

A few days later, someone found the bodies of these two guys in a puddle that was rarely passed by. Each of them had their hands and feet broken, and they were thrown into the puddle alive and drowned.

Only then did those ruffians realize that they had offended someone they should not offend. From then on, they ceased their activities and no longer dared to trouble Liu BuTong.

Liu Tongtong did some more planning afterwards. The government closed the case on the pretext that they could not find the murderer, and the matter was left undisturbed. After all, in this era and in this place, it is too common for several people to die. Where can the government have the energy?

One by one they were investigated, so Liu BuTong was naturally safe and sound.

However, this also opened up a situation for Liu BuTong in the local area. The strongmen and ruffians within a few dozen miles of the surrounding area all knew that Liu BuTong was a ruthless character who could not be easily provoked. In addition, he was rich and was willing to do everything in his power. As for the government,

It also gave him face, so Liu BuTong completely gained a foothold here.

After Liu BuTong established a foothold in Haining Prefecture, he quickly received further instructions from Lin Yiyang. Lin Yiyang sent him a platoon of soldiers, all of whom were selected locals from Shandong and moved in as servants.

Arriving at the Liu family compound in Xishan Village.

Moreover, these people also brought a lot of money and handed it over to Liu BuTong. According to Yu Xiaotian's instructions, Lin Yiyang ordered Liu BuTong to build a strong wall in Xishan Village before winter, and to build a strong wall at the seaside.

First, a small pier for berthing of ships was built.

In addition, if possible, we must find a way to control Yangma Island. Even if we spend money to buy it, there is no problem. We must also build a small fortress on the shore facing Yangma Island and Xishan Village.

Of great use.

After Liu BuTong received the order, he immediately took action. News began to spread, and a large number of people were recruited to build village walls and docks. In addition, he also began to contact the Ninghai Prefecture government to purchase land on Yangma Island.

Yangma Island was not called Yangma Island before, but was called Ju Island. The land on the island was originally owned by its owner. However, in the early Ming Dynasty, due to the Japanese invasion, various places in the Ming Dynasty were prepared for Japanese invasion.

The residents of the Falklands had to be forcibly moved inland, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were stationed on the island.

As a result, the land on the island became wasteland or official land. As the Japanese invasion gradually became less severe, and because the military households on the island were extremely squeezed by the military generals, the military households stationed on the island continued to flee.

By this time, the military garrison on the island had ceased to exist in name only.

However, the land was basically transferred to the hands of a guard named Peng and became the ancestral land of their family. However, due to the unrest in recent years, small groups of pirates often appeared on the sea, and some of the remaining military households on the island also fled.

By this time, there were less than thirty military households left, and they were still cultivating a small amount of land on the island.

It can be said that the land on Yangma Island is basically in a state of abandonment, and as a landlord, Shouwei Peng is also very helpless about the situation here. He has long thought of selling the land on Yangma Island, but the island

The value of his land was not high, and pirates would visit from time to time. Although he wanted to sell it, no one took it.

Now suddenly Liu BuTong proposed to purchase the land on Yangma Island, so Peng Shoubei immediately sent people to Xishan Village to contact Liu BuTong.

Originally, Peng Shoubei wanted to take the opportunity to sell it at a high price, but now that Liu Butong had established a foothold here, he naturally did not want to be taken advantage of again, so when Peng Shoubei proposed the price, Liu Butong immediately refused him flatly.

At this price.

Of course Liu BuTong now knows the land price of Yangma Island. A large amount of land on the island has been abandoned for many years, and it can be said that it has almost no value. Even though the land on the island is very fertile, no one is cultivating it, so it still produces no value.

So Liu Butong played hard to get, pretending to take it or not, and shelved the matter. When he hesitated, Peng Shoubei became anxious and did not dare to insist on the original price for fear of missing out on the village.

This store no longer existed, so I quickly lowered the price proactively.

In the end, Liu Buong pretended to be reluctant and purchased a large piece of land on the island at a more reasonable price. However, this piece of land was not the entire island, because Yangma Island was not too small and had enough land.

There are ten square kilometers. If you buy them all, it will really cost a lot of money.

Fortunately, except for this piece of land owned by Peng Shouwei, the rest of the land was basically official land. After Liu Buong purchased this piece of land, he also purchased several hundred acres of other official land connected to this piece of land in the west of the island.

Come down.

As a result, the entire west side of Yangma Island, across the water from Xishan Village, basically fell into the hands of Liu BuTong.

By this time, Liu BuTong had become a big landowner with more than 2,000 acres of land. Although the fields on the shore were mostly thin fields, the more than 1,000 acres of land on the island were all quite good fertile land.

It has been abandoned for a little longer, so it will probably be a little difficult to resume farming.

After Liu BuTong took over the large piece of land in the southwest corner of Yangma Island, the first thing he did was not to recruit farmers to cultivate the land. Instead, he recruited a large group of ordinary people and went to the island to give them tools and let a few

His subordinates supervised the work on the island and built an earthen fence about one meter thick and less than two meters high around the land he had fenced off, giving it a basic defense capability.

In addition, at a corner of Tuweizi facing the sea, two trestles deep into the sea have been built, allowing ships to dock directly for loading and unloading cargo. It is nominally for future fishing boats to dock here, but in fact it can be used at any time.

The Sea Wolf took advantage of it and used it as a transit point for refugees.

Of course, while Liu BuTong was tossing Yangma Island, he also didn't forget to toss Xishan Village. In addition to his big family, there are dozens of civilian households in Xishan Village. These households all own a small amount of land, and they can be considered here after all.

The villagers, Liu BuTong, came forward to discuss with these families in the village to rebuild the village wall.
