Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 461: A fight

These three companies stubbornly stood in the way of the city's reform, leaving Wen Cheng helpless.

Nearly half of the land around the city is controlled by these three companies, which has a great impact on the re-measurement and distribution of arable land.

After reading Wen Cheng's report, Lin Feng frowned and thought deeply.

It stands to reason that after I seized power in the provincial capital so forcefully, they should have understood that resistance was futile.

How dare you jump out and block my way?

Who dares not to listen? What is my army for?

King Fu’s Black Turban Army was destroyed by the Qingshui Army. Can a few wealthy families resist?

Where is Qin Fang going?

Qin Fang was very distressed. Wen Cheng had already looked for him three times.

Faced with these children from aristocratic families, Qin Fang was in hesitation.

His Qin family has been a family of officials in the Dazong Dynasty for generations, and has complex and inseparable relationships with these families.

There are countless intricate relationships involved, and if he moves even a little, he will be surrounded by human relationships, accusations and insults.

Sometimes, the elders in the family would come over, grab my ears, and yell at me for being ungrateful.

He painfully envied the eldest brother Lin Feng's simple background, why should he care so much about other people's feelings.

Qin Fang had no choice but to ask his old mother to come forward.

I repeatedly reminded him that we were all relatives, so he shouldn't be too harsh, as they would have to interact with each other in the future.

Therefore, Wen Cheng avoided him every time he visited him.

Li Hu was very concerned, but unfortunately he had too few people under him and the newly formed team was not very capable.

Facing several aristocratic families, it is obviously not intimidating.

Lin Feng learned the details of the matter from Wen Cheng's official document.

The question now is, should he go to the capital city or answer to Dur City?

As for Dadur City, Wei Bao also sent intelligence that the Tatars had sent 30,000 troops and had already assembled in Baruxishi City.

Things on both sides are equally important. If he leaves, I'm afraid others won't be able to handle it.

After careful consideration, Lin Feng decided to return to the provincial capital.

The problems in the capital city are much more complicated. If Lin Qiaomei is sent to deal with it, it will probably be another bloody storm.

It would be more appropriate to let this woman who is good at killing entire families kill the Tartars.

Then, the next morning, Lin Feng and Lin Qiaomei split into two groups.

Lin Qiaomei brought her 5,000-man long-range attack battalion to respond to Dur City and assist Hu Jincai in defending against the Tatar attack.

Lin Feng, with his own 500 cavalry guards, entered Zhenxi from Yinzhou.

Pass the border town and rush to the provincial capital.

The three major families in the capital city do not exist in isolation, but have united.

Everyone actively used all their backgrounds and connections to jointly resist the city's institutional reforms, land reforms and all other reform measures that were unfavorable to the family.

The heads of the three families, led by the Wang family, were sitting in the Wang family's guest hall, sipping fragrant tea and looking at several pretty girls in front of the hall, who were dancing and singing songs.

The three great families are indeed deeply rooted and have remained standing despite the changes of dynasties and frequent wars.

Wang Yusheng, the head of the Wang family, is 72 years old. He is in good spirits. Although he is thin, his back is still straight.

He glanced at Qian Duogui, the head of the Qian family, who was sitting below.

"How expensive! Where did you get these women?"

Qian Duogui has a round body and a kind face.

"Hehe, if you like her, Brother Yusheng, just keep her. She's a famous dancer in the mainland."

Wang Yusheng shook his head: "I won't keep it. I'll send it to the kid from the Qin family when I have time."

Qian Duogui took a breath and said, "Brother Yusheng, that kid...hid."

Wang Yusheng frowned, "We need to pull it over as soon as possible. It's very difficult to predict when it's wavering."

"Brother, Qian has run out of tricks. Can you help me from above?"

Qian Duogui pointed upwards.

"I'm just trying to find someone to mediate, and it's time for a reply."

Wang Yusheng squinted his eyes and pondered.

"If this official is too low, he won't be of much use. He has to suppress Lin Feng to make him surrender."

Qian Duogui had a flattering smile on his round face.

"I'm familiar with the Ministry of War and have a say."

Wang Yusheng looked at Ji Chonglian, the head of the Ji family, on the other side.

Ji Zhonglian is in his fifties, very strong, bald, and looks like he has no neck.

"Haha, there are a few apprentices in the Ministry of War, but when it comes to the upper echelons, Brother Yusheng still has to make his words count."

Wang Yusheng's face was gloomy. "The three of us are all on the same boat. No one can jump. Don't tell me these nonsense."

Qian Duogui quickly said, "Brother Yusheng, what are you talking about? Qian has used all his people, money and property to the utmost, without holding back a single bit."

Ji Zhonglian patted his muscular chest.

"I never hide anything. I use my abilities to the best of my ability."

"That's good. We'll hold on this time. From now on, our three families will have the final say in this prefecture."

"As long as you can help me, just let me know. We two brothers will spare no effort."

Wang Yusheng nodded and looked at the women dancing in the field.

"I wonder if Lin Feng will come over in person. I really want to have a showdown with him."

Ji Zhonglian chuckled coldly, "There are several former prefectural army leaders in the Qingshui Army, and they are also my disciples' descendants. They can help us with some strength when the time comes."

Qian Duogui asked worriedly, "What if Lin Feng takes action?"

Wang Yusheng stroked the few gray hairs under his chin.

"After all, the empire still belongs to the Emperor of the Great Sect. Lin Feng was even rewarded by the court and given the title of Earl of Zhongyuan. How could he disregard the laws of the Great Sect?"

"But what he did has already violated the laws of the court."

Qian Duogui said angrily.

"You want to divide our land? And you want to pay taxes based on the acreage? How could such a ridiculous thing happen since ancient times? The land deeds were all issued by the Zhenxi Protectorate, and the houses and land are all protected by the imperial court."

Ji Zhonglian also slammed the table and said, "That's right, the taxes are calculated based on the number of people. Humph, when the time comes, I'll have my disciples surround his government office and he'll have to give an explanation."

Qian Duogui continued to fan the flames: "What's this about allocating taxes to each acre, what's this about fire consumption being returned to the public, what's this about paying taxes and serving as officials together? What kind of nonsense is this? Are you going to let us live?"

"Yes, you want a share of my property? No way. I won't let him have it easy even if I risk my life!"

Ji Zhonglian's forehead was already bulging with veins, and he looked like he was about to go berserk at any moment.

Wang Yusheng quickly shook his head: "Don't force it. This is not how you bend your wrist. I think Lin Feng likes you to use force the most. Chonglian, no matter how tough your disciples are, can they be tougher than his Qingshui Army?"

Qian Duogui also nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, Lin Feng is not Qin Fang, a country bumpkin. How can he care about his family background? Once he makes a ruthless move, it will be too late to regret it."

Ji Zhonglian said with a sullen face: "I'll listen to you, brother. Just tell me what to do."

Wang Yusheng raised his head slightly and said, "This person is nothing more than power, money, fame and..."

As he spoke, he pointed at several charming women who were dancing.

"As for Quan, let me figure it out. Duogui will get some fun stuff, and Chonglian will figure out a way to make him famous."

Wang Yusheng chuckled complacently.

"I have never seen anyone who I couldn't control even after trying so many methods."

Qian Duogui and Ji Zhonglian also clapped their hands in praise.

"Brother, you are indeed prudent. Your century-old family is not just a name."

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler walked quickly into the living room, came up to Wang Yusheng, bowed and whispered.

"Master, I heard that Lin Feng has brought 500 guards from the border town to the provincial capital."
