Chapter 132: Military Sacrifice
Since ancient times, gentry in China has joined forces to support bravely and form forces to protect property! This is called Yi Cong! Although Qin Ge's act of summoning Yi Cong almost deprived half of the property of the gentry, in order to preserve the clan bloodline, the gentry followed Qin Ge one after another. Several stingy gentry did not prepare to donate. As a result, other donated gentry suggested to Qin Ge to order him to expel the gentry who did not donate from Panshi Town. This is human nature, tendency towards the public and opposition to the opposite sex!
With the support of the gentry, the post-disaster reconstruction work was progressing smoothly. Qin Ge also recruited 50,000 township warriors in the name of Yi Cong, and Thunderstorm was personally responsible for the control and training. This township warrior unit will become a standing garrison force in the territory, participate in agriculture in his spare time, stationed in the villages in wartime, and at the same time, it is also a reserve force for free-leading regular troops! Because the treatment and salary of the free-leading troops are very high, many young and strong people actively participated, but considering the financial issues of the territory, Qin Ge does not intend to expand his army!
He distributed weapons to the village tycoons, and Qin Ge sent Qin Fujin, Qin Fushui, Qin Fumu and Qin Futu, with twenty uncles and uncles of gold or above, to station in the fortress village established in Panshi Town (in the villages selected according to geographical location, fortifications were built. When the fortress village enters the state of war, at least one thousand people can be stationed. According to the war, militias can be drawn from the villages in the jurisdiction!). The gentry saw the Qin family's cutting-edge combat power and elite troops dispatched, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Ge also began to ask Man Chong to select talents from the gentry and expand the administrative framework of free leadership! In about half a month, all the refugees in Panshi Town had returned to their hometowns and settled in their homes. When Chen Yuan rebuilt after the disaster, he not only fully considered the construction of his residence, but also re-explored and developed all resources in Panshi Town. He opened up 100,000 acres of fertile land and personally led the people deep into the mountains and forests to pick mountain delicacies and game to buffer the shortage of disaster relief food.
Man Chong is good at mastering the overall framework, so Chen Yuan is proficient in going deep into the people and solving the most practical problems. In less than half a month, this scholar with a Qingzhou accent, with a dark skin and a farmer than a farmer, and traveling around the countryside all day long, became Chen Qingtian in the eyes of the victims!
In the Free Responsible Council Office, Qin Ge saw the reconstruction information of each village, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at the people in the seats, "Has Chen Shude gone to the countryside again?"
Man Chong clasped his fists and said, "The leaders of Qingshi Village and Tanxi Village had a conflict because of their belongings near the mountain. Lord Qin Fujin went to mediate. The two villages stopped and went back. This morning, the two villages had another conflict and injured more than a dozen people. Chen Shude asked for a quick horse and hurried away!"
Qin Ge turned around and said to Wei Sanniang: "Chen Shude has worked hard for the territory these days and is always in the countryside. I see that he is getting thinner and thinner. You can set up a fee for going to the countryside to increase the treatment for these hard-working rural officials, which is considered a subsidy!" Wei Sanniang took out the letter and wrote down the matter.
"Brother! We have found a treasure this time. Chen Shude is a practical man and is proficient in civil affairs. He has made great contributions to the post-disaster reconstruction of Panshi Town and the stability of villagers!" Zhuge Xiaoliang praised Chen Yuan.
Man Chong also smiled and said, "Not bad! Chen Shude is diligent in civil affairs, has an active mind, and is deeply loved by the people. In some aspects, he is a rare talent!" Several others also praised Chen Yuan.
Qin Ge nodded and said, "Chen Yuan's achievements are obvious to all. However, the most important thing in the territory now is the people's hearts. Although the refugees in our town have settled down, other towns have flocked into our town due to the rampant thieves in other towns, especially Lijia Town next door. I heard that they were completely captured by several bandits such as the Ten Palaces of Yan Luo and Heifengzhai. There are more than 200,000 refugees in the entire town are coming. We must consider solving this matter!"
"As far as I say, we gather elite troops to sweep away these bandits and demons and appease Lijia Town! Only in this way can we cure the root cause!" Sun Guan stood up and said loudly.
Zhuge Xiaoliang shook his head quickly and said, "No! No! Now Zang Ba has been struggling with more than 600,000 troops to surround Taishan County. This Black Wind Village is under the banner of Zang Ba. If we attack them, we will offend Zang Ba. Zang Ba will be best for the sake of face. Then Zang Ba will pursue it and destroying our Panshi Town is not a matter of raising hands!"
Sun Guan's eyes flashed with fighting spirit and said, "I have heard that Zang Ba is known as the number one person in Mount Tai, and I am about to experience it!" However, Sun Guan still sat down. He knew that Zhuge Xiaoliang was telling the truth. Now the free leader cannot afford Zang Ba!
"Report!" A message soldier hurriedly ran in and handed an emergency document to Qin Ge. Qin Ge spread his hands and looked at it and changed his face slightly: "Uncle Fushui came from an urgent report. The bandits from Heifeng Village gathered 100,000 people and headed towards Panshi Town, preparing to attack Panshi Town where the Shi family is!" Everyone's faces suddenly became a little ugly.
Feng Lie attended the meeting and said, "Brother! Heifengzhai cannot let Heifengzhai seize Panshi Town. Not to mention the political status of Panshi Town, if Heifengzhai is allowed to occupy Panshi Town, the so-called "lip and teeth are cold", they can use Panshi Town as a springboard to invade all villages in the town. At that time, they can attack and retreat and defend, and we will be passive!"
Zhuge Xiaoliang's face changed drastically and shook his head, "But fight with Heifeng Village, and Zang Ba will pursue it..."
"Then let's do it! They cut the knife over. Don't we even dare to let go of a fart? Can't we just let others bully it like this!" Sun Guan slapped the table.
Qin Ge narrowed his eyes and said, "Biaozi said it right. Since Zang Ba dared to take action, we can't stretch our necks and let people cut them! I decided to destroy Heifeng Village! He wants to fight! I will fight!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The generals of the Free Leader stood up one after another, raised their hands and shouted angrily. Since the establishment of the Free Leader, they have walked to the present with iron blood, and their bones are full of warlike genes.
"Since I'm going to fight, I think there is a big brother who must meet you!" Feng Lie stood up and said to Qin Ge: "This morning, the city defense army caught a ragged spy and was preparing to sneak into the administrative area without approval. He was arrested by me. He claimed to be the son of the mayor of Lijia Town, named Li Bin! This kid was caught by us and he was talking wildly. I was interrogating him!"
"Lord! Li Bian is a figure in Mou County. He has read the Four Books and Five Classics. The county government once recruited him as the chief clerk. As a result, this man was proud of his talent and said that he was a swan in the sky, how could he live in a straw nest? He resigned openly and went around to study. He was a famous madman in Mou County!" A village official came out and said, "This man was named Gaobi. He was a third-rate scholar found among the gentry. He was recruited by Qin Ge to do things.
Qin Ge's eyes lit up. Li Bian's famous county might be a hidden talent. He said to Feng Lie: "Bring this person up!" Feng Lie stood up and said a few words to the soldiers at the door, and the soldiers ran out.
In a short while, three soldiers escorted a man with disheveled face. The man was thin, but his head was raised and his chest was full of arrogance. But when he stepped into the conference hall and saw Man Chong and Sun Guan sitting upright, his eyes were filled with surprise!
After Qin Ge saw Li Bian's performance, he felt that this person was extraordinary and must have special characteristics. He could sense people, and Li Bian's eyes also restrained. Because Li Bian's reputation was relatively high, many gentry children in the field recognized him, and his identity was confirmed.
Qin Ge looked at Li Bin and squinted his eyes and said, "I don't want to go around the corner. Have you brought me any useful information?"
Li Bin was stunned for a moment. According to common sense, Qin Ge shouldn't interrogate how he came out of the enemy camp, was he a spy? He was stunned and said, "Do you have no doubts about my identity?"
Qin Ge said lightly: "I just want to listen to the information. I will cut off whether it is true or false. Let me tell you about the situation in Lijia Town!"
Li Bin was silent for a moment. Although this free leader was young, he was definitely not a simple master. Every move he made him hard in his hand, he clasped his fists and said, "The bandits in Heifeng Village are composed of five bandit forces. They have a total of 50,000 troops. After conquering Lijia Town, they used the town as the base to force 100,000 village warriors and 150,000 troops to sweep Lijia Town. Now they raise troops in Panshi Town, preparing to dominate the seven towns in the east district of Mu County!" Qin Ge asked many questions afterwards, asking the geographical location of Lijia Town and the military defense clearly, and then waved his hand and said, "You can go down!"
Li Bian was stunned and said, "Lord Qin, you want to save the people of Lijia Town! Those beasts burn, kill, robber, and do everything evil. You must save them!" Seeing that Qin Ge's expression was a little indifferent, he knelt down and begged. Although he was arrogant, he smashed his self-esteem to pieces in this chaotic world!
Qin Ge narrowed his eyes and said, "I am going to raise an army to raid Lijia Town now! Eliminate the bandits in Heifeng Village!"
Li Bian was stunned for a long time and said, "Heifeng Village sent 100,000 bandits to attack Panshi Town, leaving 50,000 to guard Lijia Town! I heard that there are only 10,000 available soldiers for free, this!"
Qin Ge grinned and said, "It's not that I underestimated those bandits. To wipe out Lijia Town, five thousand elite soldiers are enough! Boning! I grant you the military command of Panshi Town. I will stay Zhao Jiangang and Qin Jiwu to help you. You will lead two thousand Dongyue soldiers and convene newly recruited townsmen to help Panshi Town. Remember that your task is to hold them down and prevent them from capturing Panshi Town. I will solve other matters! Your sword should be unsheathed, otherwise everyone will think you are a sour scholar without any power?" The old people in the Free Leader in the field laughed, and the newly joined Free Leader were puzzled. Isn't Man Chong just a scholar?
Man Chong went out and clasped his fists and said, "Peng received the order!"
Qin Ge turned around and said to Feng Lie: "Gather five thousand soldiers from the East Mountain, we will set off after we sacrifice to heaven! The soldiers are very fast!" All the generals on the field clasped their fists and took the order!
Xianchi is located on the east side of the Taishan Schoolyard. Since Qinjiazhuang moved to it, Qin Ge has placed it here. Qin Ge has never understood how to use this building known as the White Tiger Holy Land. This is a holy object planned by the Great Elder for hundreds of years. Although he does not know the public use of the White Tiger Holy Land, sacrificing the White Tiger can obtain the protection of the White Tiger, and can increase the number of troops when fighting!
Qin Ge prepared silver-grade cattle, pig and sheep as required, and began to sacrifice under the auspices of Man Chong. Under the altar were seven thousand Dongyue soldiers who were about to go out to fight. Among them were two thousand majestic soldiers, wearing all black scale armor sets. They were the elite of Dongyue soldiers, all of them were bronze-grade soldiers, holding sharp weapons like hideous beasts!
Qin Ge stood in front of the White Tiger Holy Land, looking down at the seven thousand Eastern Yue soldiers and shouted: "Brothers! You followed me from the Coyote Valley, fought bloody battles all the way to the present! Now that the territory has been established, I promised that your stable life has also come true. However, great disasters have occurred in the sky, bandits have emerged, and the entire Taishan County and even the thirteen states in the world are full of war. If we want our homeland to stand in this bloody era, we must take up our weapons to defend it! I am willing to join you and fight for freedom!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Sun Guan held up the battle gun and led the soldiers of the army to shout and kill him!
"Congratulations! Entering the military sacrifice ceremony, activate the soul of the White Tiger. Since you sacrificed three silver-grade animals, activate the blessing of the silver-level white tiger. It is detected that you have 7,000 people participating in the military sacrifice army. Please sacrifice gold essence to the White Tiger Holy Soul. Since you have detected that you do not have gold essence, gold and silver can be used instead. According to the number of soldiers, you need to pay 47 gold and 568 taels!"
When Qin Ge heard this, he almost wanted to rush up and smash the altar. Damn it! He wanted so ruthlessly, almost fifty gold, and he could receive all the rations for all the refugees now for ten days!
"Please submit it as soon as possible, otherwise the soul of the White Tiger will sacrifice the souls of five hundred soldiers!"
Qin Ge was shocked and quickly took out the silver and money from the Zu Feng Ring and piled it in front of the altar. The gold and silver instantly turned into nothingness, and a tiger-shaped phantom condensed in the void.
"Congratulations! Activate the soul of the White Tiger! Being protected by the soul of the White Tiger, obtain the speed of the troops to increase the speed of the troops by 20%!"
"Activate the blood soul, and every time five iron-grade enemy soldiers killed or one iron-grade soldier who has been protected gets a blood soul, each level increase, the number of blood souls will increase by five times!"
Qin Ge widened his eyes and originally cursed in his heart that the elder had been deceived. Now he realized that this was the correct way to use the White Tiger Holy Land. This is really a war holy land. Only through war can one obtain blood souls and then enable the White Tiger Holy Land.
Qin Ge raised his broken teeth and yelled: "For freedom!" Everyone raised their troops and yelled: "For freedom!" At this moment, whether it was the aboriginal soldiers in the free leadership or the old soldiers of the Free Army such as butts, they were filled with tears in their eyes, and the people who were visiting far outside the altar were also extremely excited and shouted for freedom!
Chapter completed!
