Lezhou City is like a spider's nest. When the poisonous spider curled up in the nest moves, all the spider webs shake violently.
In Lezhou, as well as the other five states actually controlled by the Le family, all the Le family's private armies began to mobilize frequently.
The granary was opened, and every private army camp began to stock up on food and grass.
The money warehouse was opened, and the Le family's private army, from top to bottom, from the generals to the pawns, was all given out a military salary equivalent to a year's worth of military pay on weekdays. Some important generals even received high rewards.
The arsenal was opened, and heavy armors, heavy shields, strong bows and crossbows, large instruments, and all kinds of ordnance were issued one after another, arming the private army that was usually fat and strong to the teeth.
The racecourse is opened, and all kinds of good medicinal materials and various secret recipes are used one after another. The mounts have the blood of alien beasts. Bowls of good medicine are poured down every day, stimulating them to "aow" strangely all day long.
Call.
Under the stimulation of the medicine, coupled with the resurrection of the heaven and earth of Jishengtian, the physiques and physical strength of mounts with different blood began to soar in Le's horse farm. Nearly 30% of the mounts returned to their ancestors, and their quality in all aspects was several times higher than before.
Dozens of times enhancement.
Starting from Lezhou City, in the Le family's territory, local officials began to implement the wartime protection system.
All people must be thoroughly registered.
Regardless of whether they are scholars, peasants, industrialists or merchants, regardless of their status, all common people, including those servants, servants, slaves, etc. who are not usually counted in the common people's census, are fully counted.
All adult men are on the "Reserve Army List" established by Leshi. Once necessary, when called by the local government, they must put on their armor, form an army and go to the battlefield.
Of course, Le Wu is somewhat similar to his nephew in some aspects.
If you want to take your name off this "Reserve Army List", it is not difficult for ordinary people. You can pay ten "loyalty service donations" and your name will be erased naturally.
For small traders with a little wealth, the price can rise to 50 guan.
For ordinary small landowners and small wealthy businessmen, a small donation is five hundred guan.
By analogy, those big families with great names, big businesses, and large family members will not be able to solve this problem without spending millions.
Here's what's happening in the six states where Le's has complete control.
And among the states and counties surrounding Leshi's territory and bordering Leshi's territory, many officials were close subordinates who were placed by Lewu when he was the general.
Especially the local imperial guards in prefectures, prefectures and counties, who are Le Wu's absolute best friends.
Before Haojing City had time to react, Lewu called out to Lezhou City. Around Le's territory, the Forbidden Army from four states rebelled. Many cultural and educational officials were either killed, imprisoned, or simply surrendered. The Forbidden Army generals started fighting.
He took the Leshi banner and directly occupied various state, county, prefectural and county towns.
Subsequently, the Forbidden Army in these places also opened their arsenals, money warehouses and granaries, and all kinds of luggage were spent like running water. Groups of young and strong people who were confused and didn't know what was happening were forcibly recruited, put on armor, and picked up weapons.
, joined the army.
In this atmosphere, two brothers, Le Yi and Le De, plus a dozen cousins, together with the financial backer Lu Qian, a group of guards and hundreds of soldiers, broke into Le Yi in a mighty manner.
Jail in the state capital.
The Le clan is a pure nouveau riche. Not to mention the younger clan members, the direct descendants of the Le clan who have truly grown up and can be used, including the thousands of clan members before Le Wu ascended the throne of general, the total is only
Just thousands of people.
Thousands of people may seem like a lot, but not to mention the official positions occupied by the Le family in Haojing City, their territory is as wide as six states. How many prefectures, prefectures, and counties are under the jurisdiction of six prefectures? Each prefecture, prefecture, and county
, and how many official positions are there?
Therefore, in the Le family's territory, almost every adult member of the Le family occupies a high position, and even holds multiple positions.
Whether it is done well or not, praise is not mentioned. Anyway, the important official positions in the six states are held by members of the Le family.
For example, Le Yi, Le De's biological father, was the conquering envoy of Lezhou, the deputy city lord of Lezhou City, the commander of Qingpingfang, the purchasing manager of Qingping Leyuan, and...
In short, Lehe, the biological father of the two brothers, holds more than a dozen official positions. When he goes out on weekdays, the guard chief accompanying him will carry a wooden box filled with various official seals, tokens, and driving certificates.
Blank official documents, etc., otherwise the turnover will not be possible at all.
Lehe is not the direct descendant who holds the most core power in the Le clan, but he is still considered one of the most important members of the clan.
Therefore, Leyi took Lehe's token and broke into the most important prison for serious criminals in Lezhou City.
Prisons, especially prisons for serious offenders.
Cold, damp, dirty, and ominous.
The most important thing is that generally there is very little oil or water here.
Therefore, the warden of this prison is not a member of the Le family, but a distant cousin of the concubine of a certain Le family son, Ge Xina.
Therefore, Le Yi waved Le He's token in front of the prison warden whose name he didn't even bother to ask, and slapped him in the face: "Come on, stop talking nonsense, open all the cells, and release all the prisoners. Master, I
, take them away!”
The prison warden was dumbfounded, and he followed the order obediently. He hurriedly led the guards and opened the cells one after another, and took out the prisoners one by one who were ragged, smelly, and looked strange and ugly.
was released.
As soon as these felons walked out of the cell door, they all screamed and roared, wanting to do something.
But when hundreds of soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding serial crossbows stood in front of them, these guys all became obedient.
Le Yi was so proud that he led a large group of troops to Lezhou City, as well as the prisons in various cities and towns in the city, as well as the temporary detention centers in the Yamen. Those death row prisoners, severe criminals, light criminals, and those who were only temporarily detained
It took two whole days to completely wipe out all the petty thieves and rogues!
Outside Lezhou City, outside a farm that Leyi borrowed from a local landowner, in a large field, crops that were almost ready for harvest were trampled to pieces.
War horses, one after another, roamed happily in the fields, lowering their heads from time to time to take a few mouthfuls of golden wheat ears and grains.
Groups of heavily armored soldiers were wandering around the fields.
On the edge of the field, tall sentry towers were built. Sentinels armed with strong bows and crossbows were standing on the sentry towers, looking around coldly.
In the fields, thousands of tents were pitched crookedly and crowded together in a mess.
Nearly 30,000 famous heroes from the world gathered in the camp in small groups, basking in the sun, grabbing lice, and bragging about their great achievements with foaming mouth.
Those guys who came out of the prison for serious criminals were all shouting about how powerful they were by killing seven and eight.
Those criminals with light sentences would happily describe to the newcomers around them how they once had a romantic encounter with a pretty girl one night in the mansion of a wealthy businessman or landlord.
And those ordinary local scoundrels are having a friendly exchange of experiences. In Lezhou City, which family has a handsome eldest daughter-in-law, which family has a pretty young girl, which store has a timid shopkeeper who can come to the door to have sex, and which one
The thugs in my casino are so fierce that if they cheat, they will have their fingers chopped off...
Nearly 30,000 'heroes' were bragging and looking in all directions with twinkling eyes.
They don't understand why they were released from prison or detention center.
But looking at this momentum, something seems wrong.
The soldiers around them were clearly the best of the best. The heavy armor on their bodies, the crossbows on their backs, and the steel swords and spears in their hands were all top-quality goods. They were not easy to mess with at first glance.
Look at the sentry tower again. It is also made of good logs and excellent steel components. It is strong and beautiful, with uniform standards and is also of top quality.
Even the tent they had been sleeping in for the past two days was made of thick, uncompromising materials, with excellent windproof and waterproof properties, and was made of the same standard.
Not to mention……
‘Boom, boom, boom’!
The gong sounded, and carriages drove up, and buckets of white rice, oily meat, yellow fried eggs, green vegetables, etc. were delivered like running water.
Someone was shouting loudly: "Those thieves who have killed a thousand swords, it's time to eat, it's time to eat! Line up quickly, everyone has eaten and drank enough, and listen to the master's instructions!"
‘Master’s instruction’?
Who cares?
The prison is full of torture, and some serious prisoners have been in prison for who knows how many years.
Seeing such a sumptuous meal, they had already grabbed their bowls and chopsticks and rushed towards it like vicious dogs.
After a random scramble for food, the food delivery convoy withdrew, and Le Yi and others, together with Lu Qian, the financial backer, appeared on a high wooden platform in the camp.
A thousand heavily armored elites borrowed from Lehe surrounded the high platform, and large boxes one after another were continuously transported to the high platform by a group of guards.
The well-fed and well-fed heroes gathered lazily beside the high platform.
Many people were busy discussing the clothes worn by Le Yi and others, speculating on the value of the rings and other accessories hanging around their waists, and speculating on the origins of these young men.
Lu Qian walked to the high platform with a smile and gently opened a few large boxes.
So, the golden gold ingots, the white silver ingots, and the boxes full of newly minted copper coins glowing with a faint red light appeared in front of a group of heroes in the autumn sun.
A loud intake of breath sounded instantly throughout the camp.
Nearly 30,000 heroes were staring at these big boxes with green eyes. Many of them were gangsters and robbers. Their muscles were beating violently, and they wanted to rush to the high platform, pick up a big box and leave.
Behind, groups of guards continued to bring up large boxes.
Le Yi looked at this group of heroes with satisfaction and clapped vigorously: "Very good, I can see that brothers have a good impression of these gold, silver, and copper coins!"
There was a lot of noise in the camp, and countless people were shouting and noisy.
Le Yi smiled and pointed at his nose: "I, Le's family, Le Yi, my father, Le He, the conquest commander of Lezhou... You bunch of bastards who deserve to be killed with a thousand swords, I will give you a chance to get ahead, sir."
, an opportunity to change your destiny!”
"Eat my food, take my salary, follow me, change one day to another, let Dayin's old appearance change to a new one...Use knives and guns to create a wife and a beautiful future!"
Lu Qian coughed slightly and clapped equally hard.
"What Young Master Le Yi means is that the Le family is going to rebel and have a fight with the emperor in Haojing City!"
"If you are willing to rebel together, we will be one family from now on."
"You don't want to... now raise your hands and you can die!"
Lu Qian smiled brightly.
It was his idea to plunder this group of heroes and serve as a private army.
