Chapter 75: Thousand-mile fiefdom, millions of slaves
The remaining three thousand defenders surrendered, and immediately their military soul cards were confiscated, their standard battle armor was handed over, and the military seals of their generals were also banned.
In this way, they will no longer be able to become the Zheng Army and will be swallowed up by the Qing Army.
Although there are many casual cultivators in the city, no one can resist anymore.
Although it is a bit difficult to accept emotionally, but what difference does it make when the head is changed from Zheng Vale to Qing Vale?
They are just casual cultivators.
The Qing Lord immediately ordered not to control the Zheng Clan's major treasury, but to repair the city defense array. Longguan City had fallen into the hands of the Qing Clan, so of course the city defenses had to be strengthened.
Longguan City is the main city of the Zheng Clan and the location of the Jun's Mansion. Not only is the city very prosperous, the Jun's Mansion also stores nearly half of the resources and wealth of the Zheng Clan.
Of course the wealth of Zheng Clan's palace belongs to Master Qing, but the wealth of the major trading houses in the city was robbed by Qing soldiers.
For a time, fighting broke out everywhere in restaurants and shops.
The Qing Army used teams of hundreds to rob merchants in the city, and teams of thousands to rob wealthy families in the city.
Qingzhu himself also personally led his elite troops to occupy the Zheng clan's mansion.
Zheng Dai, the Supreme Lord of the Zheng Clan, led all the men, women, and children of the clan to come to Lord Qing and shouted sternly: "Qinglu, everything in the Lord's Mansion is yours. Withdraw the military territory. I will leave now!"
"
Although Zheng Dai is a perfect martial artist, it is useless to face resistance from a large army, so he can only follow the rules.
According to the rules of Shenzhou, if a martial clan is destroyed, no more members of the clan leader are allowed to be killed. The prerequisite is that the other party no longer resists.
If you violate the rules and kill the other party's family, you are committing a great injustice and the consequences will be disastrous.
No one dares to violate this rule, certainly not Qingzhu.
Therefore, he could not massacre the Zheng clan members, nor imprison the Zheng clan members.
Similarly, if the Qing Clan is destroyed by the Meng Clan, the Meng Clan will not massacre the Qing clan members.
This is the bottom line between martial clans.
The land and resources have been taken away from you, what else do you want?
Master Qing nodded, "Mrs. Zheng, you can leave immediately, but no one is allowed to bring rings or storage bags."
Zheng Dai said angrily: "I can't do it too?"
Qingzhu thought for a while, "You can carry a ring that does not exceed one foot. If it exceeds one foot, I will not be polite."
Zheng Dai nodded and said to the tribesmen: "Hand over all your rings and storage bags. Give all the good things you can't bear to part with to me."
The people of the Zheng clan were filled with grief and anger, and they all looked angrily at Lord Qing, but there was nothing they could do.
Zheng Shi, the master of the Zheng clan, bowed his hands to the Qing Lord, "Lord Qing Lord, this junior and others want to take away three million ten-mile horses, is that okay?"
Master Qing shook his head: "No. Thousand-mile horses are important military assets. Each of you can bring an extra thousand spiritual jade."
Zheng Shi sneered with a livid face: "Okay. I'll wait and see, this junior, to see if Mr. Qingzhu will be here today. Huh, my family's land is being taken over, and there are still people to take over."
Master Qing's face darkened, but he didn't say anything.
"Bold!" A young man with a feather fan and silk scarf and a snake staff stepped forward and pointed at Zheng Shi, who had perfected the martial arts level. "Who are you, talking to my lord like this!"
"You are nothing more than a bird in a cage, a prisoner under the orders. My lord is so magnanimous, but you are ungrateful and ungrateful. Instead, you are arrogant and rude! A dog with a broken spine, how dare you be so presumptuous! You are bullying me!"
Zheng Shi glared at this young man with a snake stick who was not very cultivated, "Who are you? Tell me your name."
"Okay." Master Qing looked at Zheng Shi with a cold expression, "Hurry out of the city, your father's reinforcements will be back soon. Wait until your father has the ability to take back Longguan City."
"Huh." Mr. Zheng didn't say any more, but gave Jiang Yao a fierce look.
However, Qingzhu glanced at Jiang Yao with satisfaction.
He decided to give Jiang Yao a fiefdom to reward his first contribution and his loyalty.
When all the Zheng clan members evacuated the palace and left Longguan City, Lord Qing held a meeting for the victors in the main hall of the Zheng clan.
After Longguan City was captured, everyone in the Qing clan, the monarch and his ministers couldn't help but rejoice.
Having Longguan City in hand means that the entire Zhangtai County will become the territory of the Qing clan.
The large amount of wealth stored in the Zheng clan's palace is undoubtedly a timely and timely blessing for the financially strapped Qing clan.
The strategy of using ginger medicine in the north and supplementing it in the south has basically been successful so far.
"My lord." Jiang Yao was very active during this period. He stood up immediately, "I, Daqing, want to unify the nine counties of Qiunan. I also ask my lord to give an order to stop the atrocities in the city."
"The soldiers robbed too many things and did not want to join the army. Moreover, it caused the martial cultivators in the city to hate Daqing, which is not conducive to long-term peace and stability, and it is not conducive to Daqing's expansion of territory."
Jiang Yao's words can be said to have touched Lord Qinghuang's heart. He also wanted to give an order to stop the soldiers from robbing and killing people. After all, this city now belongs to the Qing clan, and the merchants and wealthy families here will also submit to the rule of the Qing clan.
Offend these people to death, and the Qing clan will encounter more resistance wherever they go in the future.
It's just that he couldn't say these words directly, lest the soldiers would be dissatisfied. But Jiang Yao took the initiative and he accepted it naturally.
One needs a knife and the other is willing to make a knife.
As for Jiang Yao, he is not afraid of offending the soldiers. Tens of thousands of Qing soldiers belong to the Qing clan, what does it have to do with him?
He has no military power.
He just wants to try his best to please the Qing Lord, so that the Qing Lord will think more about his loyalty and sensibleness when rewarding his merits.
Three hundred miles is also a vassal, five hundred li is also a vassal, and a thousand li is also a vassal. They are both vassals, but they are also very different.
"Zhongda Zhiyan, what do you think?" Qingzhu looked at the others in an indifferent tone.
The generals were a little reluctant.
After the army enters the city, it is also the tradition of the warlords to make the soldiers rich.
If we stop it now, the soldiers will be dissatisfied.
They still have to rely on them to fight the next tough battle. If the morale of the military is not good, the power of the military domain will not be good.
Han Cang was the most familiar with Jiang Yao, and he said bluntly: "Zhongda, although your words are reasonable, they are not good for the morale of the army. The soldiers finally broke into the city, how can they be clear-minded without any benefit?"
"Don't worry, Lord General, this is an easy matter." Jiang Yao shook his feather fan lightly, "Please ask your lord to give an order to collect the military tax from the merchants and wealthy families in the city, and use the military tax to reward the soldiers. I understand that they dare not refuse to pay it.
If you don't hand it over, you will be killed and robbed. If you cooperate well, there is a way out."
"In this way, the soldiers will be rewarded, the vitality of the city will be preserved, and the name of the lord will be preserved. It can be said that we kill three birds with one stone."
When Jiang Yao said this, the generals could no longer object and could only agree to issue an order prohibiting soldiers from robbing and killing.
A military order was sent out, and the green soldiers who were "fighting" in the city immediately stopped their violence. Most of the merchants and wealthy families were saved.
"In this battle, our army captured Longguan City in one day, and Jiang Zhongda should be the first to do so. Zhongda, what reward do you want?" Qingzhu looked at Jiang Yao with a half-smile.
The reason why he was rewarded so early was of course because his plan had just begun, and he needed to set an example with Jiang Yao to stimulate more retainers and soldiers to work as loyally as Jiang Yao, thereby increasing the chance of winning the big plan.
When has he ever done something that made him lose money?
As soon as Qingzhu said what he said, many people looked at Jiang Yao with envy.
Jiang Yao offered advice to make up for the defeat in the north, borrowed a knife from the Lake Pirates, and used the Divine Cone Formation to defeat the Longguan City Formation. It played a major role in the entire battle and greatly increased the chance of winning the lord's plan. It was indeed worthy of being the first achievement.
At least it is the first step in the first stage, and it must be ginger medicine.
This young man is not simple.
Even people who don't like ginger medicine, such as Lan Sheng, think that ginger medicine should be the first reward.
One yard owned by a yard.
Jiang Yao stood up and said, "I am the lord's retainer, and it is my duty to share the lord's worries. Besides, this battle is entirely dependent on the lord's personal chariot. It is like a divine help. What contribution do you have, do you dare to ask for a reward? I am ashamed and dare not accept it. I am afraid.
extremely!"
A personal expedition?
This statement is strange, but it sounds comfortable.
Of course Qingzhu knew that Jiang Yao was just pretending to refuse. This person was so keen on fame and wealth, how could he be so pure in heart?
He really wants nothing, which makes people uneasy.
Master Qing already had some calculations in his mind and said directly: "Zhongda doesn't need to be afraid. Well, I will grant you a land of thousands of miles and millions of slaves. You can pay half of the annual tax to the emperor."
Jiang Yao was very excited, "My lord, thank you for your kindness! Long live, long live, long live! May I be young..."
Master Qing was a little amused, "I haven't finished what I said yet. The location of this land can also be divided into good and bad. If you can break the Meng Army's poisonous territory and make new achievements, I will choose a good land to seal you."
Jiang Yao was really overjoyed at this time and did not hide it deliberately.
The fiefdom issue is almost a certainty.
I, Jiang Yao, was a serf a few years ago, and now I want to be a vassal.
Ha ha ha ha.
Jiang Yao lowered his head, but no one saw the fleeting purple light in his eyes.
