Just when Qin Wei was visiting the Qin family's mansion, fifty miles east of Fushan Port, a large ship was sailing away from Fushan Port.
On the deck of the big ship, the snow-robed warrior stood quietly, frowning slightly, looking at the blue sky.
"Sir, everyone in Fushan City has been evacuated."
The burly man came behind her and reported.
"How much was the loss?" asked the snow-clothed envoy.
"Three hundred and twelve people were killed in the battle and seventy-two were seriously injured," the burly man said.
This time, more than 3,000 people were mobilized for the Fushan City Rebellion and the Red Turban Rebellion. Compared to the entire population of Fushan City, 3,000 people were nothing at all. However, the inaction of the government and the poverty of ordinary people made Fushan City miserable.
Like a powder keg, it will explode with just a spark.
More than three thousand red scarf thieves entered Fushan City, which immediately caused tens of thousands of poor people to rebel.
Not only the poor people, but also many street gangsters and martial arts warriors also started to cause trouble.
Anyway, there were only three thousand real red scarf thieves, but there were tens of thousands of rioters, causing the entire Fushan City to fall into complete chaos in just half an hour.
The snow-clothed envoy nodded slightly and did not care about the casualties. Instead, he asked: "What did those mysterious people do?"
"I don't know, they seem to have disappeared." The burly man said.
"Disappeared!" Xue Yi was slightly shocked.
"Well, when we retreated, they all disappeared." The burly man said.
"Why did it disappear?" The snow-clothed envoy was very puzzled.
Of course, the members of the Luowang will not disappear. They just went to the Qin family. With the Qin family's cover, they only need to change their clothes to become the Qin family's servants and guardians.
Of course, if they investigate carefully, they can still find flaws in the snare. After all, with so many people operating in the snare, it is inevitable that there will be flaws. However, they were in a hurry to evacuate Fushan City and had no time to search.
The burly man lowered his head and said: "Their whereabouts are very secretive, even more secretive than our actions."
Xue Yi narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"That's all, let's go back and talk about it first."
"This time our plan completely failed. We will have to make a new plan after we go back."
"You leave a few people here, and try your best to search for those people's traces and find out their identities."
Because of the appearance of Zhao Gao and the others, she had to give up this plan. There were three mysterious Jizhao Realm powerhouses in Fushan City. How could she dare to cause trouble in Fushan City? So after leaving the Nan Family Mansion, she immediately ordered
All retreat.
Although she was unwilling to do so, she had nothing to do.
However, she still wanted to find out the identities and origins of Zhao Gao and others. She always felt that she would meet these people again in the future.
…
at the same time.
Outside Fushan City, a large army was slowly moving towards the direction of Fushan City.
Beiyuan Island is one of the four major islands of the Luofu Dynasty. Its area is not small. It is 1,300 miles from east to west and 800 miles from north to south. There are three provinces, eighteen prefectures and 123 counties on it. There are also Shenwu
The army is stationed.
The Shenwu Army was one of the four armies of the Luofu Dynasty. It had a total of 300,000 soldiers and was divided into five armies: front, rear, left, center and center.
Among them, the one closest to Fukuyama Castle is the Shenwu Houjun.
There were red scarf thieves causing trouble in Fushan City. After receiving the news, Liu Hua, the commander of the Shenwu Hou Army, immediately led 30,000 elite troops to rush to the rescue.
The Dutong was a military officer position in the Luofu Dynasty. He was the commander-in-chief of an army. He had the Dushuai above him, and below him there were generals, deputy generals and other generals.
Liu Hua was the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Hou Army. He had 50,000 soldiers under his command, and his main responsibility was to guard the place.
At this time, he looked at the devastated Fushan City, his eyes filled with coldness.
"These damn red scarf thieves!"
He used to hate red scarf thieves, because red scarf thieves are rebellious, and he is a military attaché of the imperial court.
Now he hates the red scarf thief even more because the red scarf thief actually caused trouble in his territory.
He didn't care about the life and death of the people in Fushan City. What he cared about was the censure of the court.
Although he would not lose his official position as the Commander-in-Chief of the Shenwu Houjun because of this, a rebuke was unavoidable.
"Report, Lord Commander, all the red scarf thieves in the city have escaped!"
A scout ran back from Fushan City and reported.
"Yeah! They escaped!" Liu Hua was a little surprised, "Do you know why they escaped?"
According to the Red Turban Thieves' style of conduct, they will never retreat easily after occupying Fushan City.
But now the red scarf thief actually ran away early!
"I don't know. It is said that they left the port by boat around early in the morning." the scout reported.
When Liu Hua heard this, he was thoughtful, and then his eyes lit up.
"You guys lead a team to the city and control all the dead people in the city!"
He said to several generals beside him.
Several generals were stunned for a moment, trying to control the dead man?
How to control this?
Seeing that a group of subordinates were so unwise, Liu Hua suddenly turned gloomy and said: "A group of brainless fools preserved the bodies of the dead and tied red scarves on them. They are our military achievements. Do you understand?"
?”
As soon as these words came out, the generals immediately understood.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"Hurry and go. Later, I will write a memorial to the court, saying that we have recaptured Fushan City after a fierce battle! You guys understand!"
"You will finally understand!"
Seeing that they were finally smart, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction.
If this red scarf thief takes over Fushan City, he will inevitably be scolded.
But if he recaptured Fushan City from the red scarf thieves, not only would he not be reprimanded, but his merits would also be discussed, and he would be rewarded.
When he thought that he could get some rewards through this, his originally bad mood suddenly became better.
I'm such a genius!
Liu Hua walked towards Fushan Castle with a smile on his face.
…
In the following days, Fukuyama Castle gradually recovered from the disaster.
However, the arrival of the Shenwu Rear Army caused quite a stir in Fushan City. After entering the city, these soldiers neither disturbed the people nor begged the thieves, but instead robbed corpses with the people.
Those corpses without relatives were fine, but they also snatched the corpses with relatives. After snatching the corpses back, they all gathered in the open space outside the city, cut off the heads, and marinated them with lime to prevent decay.
Such actions made the people in the city extremely angry. For a time, the entire Fushan City was filled with resentment and public opinion was boiling.
It's a pity that the people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
When Qin Wei heard such things, he felt a little unbelievable.
Use the corpses of dead people as military merit!
Who the smartest person came up with this!
Inside the Qin family's mansion.
Qin Wei was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard and asked with some surprise: "Who is the leader of this Shenwu rear army?"
"Liu Hua, a descendant of the Liu family of the Luofu Kyoto military general family, has the cultivation level of the second level of Xiantian." Zhao Gao said sitting next to him.
The Kyoto of the Luofu Dynasty was located on Nan Qingdao, and the Luofu Imperial Court was controlled by a very wealthy family. The Luofu Emperor could not be said to be a puppet, but his power was extremely low and he was unable to compete with those wealthy families.
The armies of the Luofu Dynasty were basically controlled by the wealthy families in Kyoto. Local wealthy families such as the Nan Family and Qin Family in Fushan City were far worse than the wealthy families in Kyoto.
If the wealthy families that control the court are first-class wealthy families, then the Nan family in Fushan City can be considered second-rate at best, and the declining Qin family can only be regarded as a third-rate wealthy family.
"Interesting, interesting!" Qin Wei laughed.
This Liu Hua is really interesting, he can actually come up with such a method.
Zhao Gao said calmly: "He's just a somewhat clever general."
"It's the cleverness that makes it interesting!" Qin Wei said.
Zhao Gao naturally looked down on people like Liu Hua. He changed his tone and asked, "What should we do next?"
Qin Wei raised his head in surprise and said, "Didn't you already have a plan?"
Zhao Gao shook his head, "Although I have some plans in my mind, it will take a long time. It is estimated that it will take three to five years to complete."
It is not an easy task to seek a dynasty.
Even if Zhao Gao is good at conspiracy and conspiracy, he cannot easily take down a dynasty.
What's more, the overall strength of the Luofu Dynasty far exceeds that of Luo Sheng. No matter how good the strategy is, it will be in vain without enough strength to implement it.
Qin Wei smiled and said, "What's the rush? Just take your time."
"Let's take Fushan City first. As long as we take Fushan City, the Luofu Dynasty will belong to me sooner or later!"
He is not talking big words, but he has such confidence.
Maybe Dali's strength is not weaker than that of Luofu Dynasty now, but it won't be long before Dali's strength can surpass Luofu Dynasty.
"When I get my official position, we will make money first and then talk about other things."
Qin Weidao.
Money is the basis of everything.
If you want to build a huge dynasty, you must have a strong army.
This was different from his original situation in Dali, where he was the grandson of the emperor and could legitimately inherit the throne.
But here, he can only rebel.
Since he wants to rebel, he naturally needs to form a large army. He can't dispatch the army from Dali. Putting aside the trouble of transporting it, if the army is transferred from Dali, then his identity cannot be concealed, and the previous considerations will be meaningless.
Already.
"make money!"
Zhao Gao was slightly surprised, but then nodded, agreeing with Qin Wei's idea.
"When can officials be appointed?" Qin Wei asked.
"It will probably take half a month." Zhao Gao said.
"Oh! Only half a month?" Qin Wei was a little surprised.
The prefect of a prefecture is not a minor official. In Dali, it is an official position of the fourth rank or junior rank. It must be proposed by the Ministry of Personnel and can only be appointed with the approval of the cabinet.
In the Luofu Dynasty, the official positions of the prefect were similar, and logically they should be appointed by the court.
Half a month is not enough time to run back and forth from Fushan City to Luofu Kyoto.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver only needs to be approved by the Lue Yamen." Zhao Gao said.
The Jinglue Yamen was the highest local official government in the Luofu Dynasty and was in charge of the military and civil affairs of a province. It was similar to the aggregation of the Dusi Yamen and the Chief Si Yamen in Dali.
The key point is that the Luofu Dynasty did not have a local supervisory office, and there was an inspector's office in Dali. The Luofu Dynasty did not have any local supervisory agencies, and only the central court had a censor's desk.
With such a regulatory system, it would be strange for the Luofu Dynasty not to have local chaos.
What Qin Wei didn't expect was that the appointment of a magistrate official only required the consent of the Lue Yamen. For a while, Qin Wei didn't know what to say.
And it only costs 100,000 taels of silver. It's really cheap. It's so cheap. It's so cheap.
"That young master is waiting to take office!" Qin Wei could only say this.
…
Fushan City, inside the prefect's Yamen.
Liu Huazheng was sitting in the lobby of the government office with a cheerful look on his face.
Ever since he thought about using the corpses of ordinary people as military merits, he has been in a good mood.
But something better was waiting for him.
"Sir, there is something that I don't know whether to talk about or not!"
A middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt stood next to Liu Hua and said hesitantly.
"If you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go." Liu Hua said.
The man in Confucian shirt chuckled and said, "Sir, the Nan family has been wiped out!"
"If you destroy your family, you will destroy your family. What does it matter to us?" Liu Hua said nonchalantly.
He comes from a wealthy family in Kyoto, and he doesn't look down on wealthy families like the Nan family at all.
Although he had had many interactions with people from the Nan family before, he never felt that he was the same type of person as the Nan family.
So he didn't care at all if the Nan family was wiped out.
"Sir, this is the Nan family's property!" the man in Confucian shirt said in a low voice.
Liu Hua suddenly stood up and looked at the man in Confucian shirt with surprise and joy.
"No one took away those properties?"
"All the Nan family's frivolous wealth has been taken away, but the real estate, real estate, and minerals are all there!" said the man in a scholar's shirt.
Liu Hua suddenly became excited.
oops.
The disaster in Fushan City not only gave him the opportunity to make great achievements, but also gave him the opportunity to make a fortune.
The Nan family's property, not to mention other properties, is enough to make a fortune.
Suddenly, his expression straightened and he asked, "Where are the other families?"
The man in Confucian shirt was slightly stunned.
Other families!
"The other families were not wiped out!"
"Idiot, I brought my soldiers to rescue them, how could they not give me some benefits?"
Liu Hua's eyes flashed with greed.
He had not thought of making money before, but the man in scholar's shirt reminded him that if the Nan family's industry could be taken over, then other wealthy families in Fushan City would also have to contribute a little.
There are more than a dozen wealthy families, large and small, in Fushan City. Each family spends one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver, which is millions.
"Go and invite those guys over and tell them that I want to discuss the defense of Fushan City with them." Liu Hua showed a sinister smile.
This is a good opportunity to make money!
To protect Fukuyama Castle, the army is indispensable, and to dispatch the army, food and grass are needed.
Without food and grass, how can we work hungry?
The rich locals like Fushan City must come up with 1.8 million taels of silver, otherwise I will let them know what military chaos is.
Thinking of the white money, Liu Hua couldn't help but laugh out loud.
As a child of a wealthy family, Liu Hua is not short of money, and as the commander of an army, Liu Hua is not short of money, but no one would mind having too much money.
Liu Hua is also an idealistic person. He also wants to improve his cultivation and achieve a higher official position.
Improving your cultivation level consumes resources. Those pills used in the innate realm are very precious. Each pill costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver. Even if he is backed by a wealthy family, it is impossible for the family to give him a large amount.
of elixirs.
And if you want to upgrade your official position, it will cost more money.
Positions in the military are much more expensive than positions in local government agencies, and they are also very popular.
A magistrate only needs one hundred thousand taels of silver, but the position of a governor costs one million taels.
Liu Hua did not spend any money to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Rear Army. It was given to him by the Liu family, but if he wanted to advance further, he had to rely on himself.
He had never thought about getting promoted before, because the Liu family would not be able to support him strongly in a short period of time, but this time he came to Fushan City, with both military exploits and a lot of money, he could get promoted on his own.
If he can become the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army, he will be one of the top figures in the entire Luofu Dynasty, and everyone in the family will look up to him.
But if you want to go further, you still need the support of the wealthy families in Fushan City.
Thinking of this, he began to plan how to get the wealthy families in Fushan City to obediently take out their money.
