"Crack, click, click," a thousand warriors in golden armor acted as the vanguard, five in a row, marching neatly into the city.
Each one is more than two meters tall, tall and tall, and they walk like a group of little giants, especially powerful.
Coupled with the gleaming gold armor, it is very visually stunning, and he is the perfect choice for the honor guard.
"It's amazing. Look at these golden-armored warriors. Their arms are thicker than my thighs. I've never seen such an awesome army in my life!"
"Isn't that right? No wonder the Seventh Young Master can conquer such a large territory. If the Seventh Young Master comes back early, how can we let the Sichuan people bully us!"
"It's all my fault that the old Marquis was so stupid, he mistook the jade for gravel, but he made us miserable. Long live the Seventh Young Master!"
The people of Qingyang County had never seen such a majestic army, including the officers and soldiers of the Qingyang Army who stood on both sides of the street to maintain public security. Their faces were all red with excitement.
In an instant, deafening cheers erupted throughout the east gate, and as the team marched, they continued to spread throughout the city.
"I didn't expect that the people in Qingyang City were so enthusiastic!" Li Wenhao looked around and was surprised. What did he see?
Not only were the Qingyang Army soldiers standing on both sides, there were also a large number of black crows sprouting above their heads.
Even among the cheering people on the street, large numbers of black crows appeared.
Although he had encountered this kind of situation before, it was definitely not on such a large scale.
"Because the king is a native of Qingyang, the people think that the king is their family and their pride!"
Zhang Juchen, who was standing by, suddenly clasped his hands and said, "I would like to ask your Majesty not to anger the people of Qingyang because of some people from the Li family.
The people of Qingyang are the strongest foundation for your Majesty, and as long as your Majesty does not do anything that will cause anger or resentment, the people of Qingyang will always support your Majesty!"
"You are right, I will never anger anyone!" Li Wenhao nodded slowly, deeply convinced.
People in this era are very similar to the ancient earth. They all attach great importance to surnames, regions, clans, etc.
For example, Xiang Yu's eight thousand Jiangdong soldiers, and there are many other examples.
The cultural difference between the Western Regions and the Central Plains is not obvious yet. He clearly felt it in Huaibei County because of the order of the Marquis of Huaibei and the identity of his Huaibei son-in-law.
The reorganization of soldiers from Huaibei was relatively smooth, and the proportion of soldiers becoming system members was also high, which was much higher than recruiting soldiers from the Western Regions.
After arriving in Qingyang County for only one day, he could already feel that the ratio was even higher than that in Huaibei County. He even felt like he was at home like a fish in water.
"Li Longji, Dwarf Lion, where have all the elders of the Li family gone? How can I ask you to come forward?" Li Wenhao took a deep breath to calm down.
Zhang Juchen clasped his fists and said with a hint of disdain: "Your Highness, the old Marquis and General Dwarf Lion are packing their luggage and preparing to leave through the south gate.
The elders of the Li family and the tribesmen who were unwilling to surrender were all killed by the Sichuan Army, leaving only a few who surrendered and had nothing to lose.
They don’t dare to come to see the king, so they have no choice but to come forward in humble positions!”
"Kneel down and surrender, you're a loser?" Li Wenhao was a little surprised. It was bold to dare to comment like this in front of him.
He turned to look at Zhang Juchen and smiled: "You are very good. You are the governor of Qingyang City County!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Juchen kowtowed slightly excitedly.
Although he prefers to lead troops in war, being able to start with a governor is already far beyond his expectations. After all, he is a newly surrendered general.
The teacher Cui Baihou is a traitor who has defected to the Central Sichuan Army. No one can give him military power immediately.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong, General Kanbao led a group of soldiers and rushed into the back house of the Marquis Mansion!"
As soon as the team arrived at the gate of the prefect's mansion, Qiao Feng turned into a breeze and appeared in a panic on the side.
"Come here!" Li Wenhao reached out and called Qiao Feng to him, whispering a few words in his ear.
Qiao Feng didn't say anything, nodded and disappeared without a trace.
"We won't go to the Marquis' Mansion, let's go to the Prefect's Mansion!" Li Wenhao gave the order, and the team turned around and entered the Prefect's Mansion directly.
Zhang Juchen followed beside him, keeping his eyes on his nose and saying nothing the whole time.
The Prefect's Mansion is not far from the Hou Mansion. The imitation Tang Dynasty buildings inside are quite old. After the wars of the Central Sichuan Army, mottled traces of weapons can be seen everywhere on the walls and pillars.
Li Wenhao walked on the bluestone-paved steps with his hands behind his back. The faint smell of earth was mixed with a little smell of blood.
Entering the hall, he immediately issued three orders.
As the first order, the 100,000 Qingyang troops in the city, together with the more than 40,000 captured Shadow Killing troops, immediately went to the front line of Donghuai County. After disrupting the organization, they were replenished to the directly affiliated battalions.
According to the one-million-strong army expansion plan, the direct battalion will be expanded from 20,000 to 50,000, and these soldiers will just be used to fill the gap.
Although Li Wenhao looked down upon the Shadow Killing Army very much, after all, many of them were cultivators and they were all used as waste.
Moreover, he felt that there were no useless soldiers, only useless generals. If these soldiers were replaced by stern generals and saw blood on the battlefield, they might be able to be saved.
In the second order, Li Weidao, the leader of the original shadow killing army, ran away with several generals but failed to catch him.
But the other generals and soldiers of the Shadow Killing Army, who participated in plundering the people and had blood on their hands, as well as the Li clan members and other nobles who surrendered to the Sichuan Army.
At three quarters of noon, Huo Ling publicly executed them all at the city gate to serve as a warning to others!
The third order was that all the Li family's fields in Qingyang County, including the fields, houses, and materials confiscated by other nobles, should be distributed to the poor people.
"Your Highness, if this happens, what will be left of the Qingyang Li family?" Zhang Juchen was stunned after hearing Li Wenhao's order.
The Central Sichuan Army killed all the hard bones of Li's main veins, leaving only the soft bones.
Although these cartilage bones are useless, they can still reproduce and have a lot of fields and real estate.
Li Wenhao also chopped off the cartilage and distributed the land to the people. Wouldn't the main line of the Li family exist in name only? The rest are all descendants of the side branch!
"Go and deliver the order!" Li Wenhao said lightly, picked up the Li family's account book that had just been delivered and read it.
He added silently in his heart: "He just wants the Li family to perish."
"Mom and Dad, your Majesty wants to divide the land. We will have a good life!"
"The sky has opened its eyes. It finally looks forward to a king who cares about the people. Long live the king!"
"God bless you, may your Majesty live a long life!"
When the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar. Although there were some voices of dissatisfaction, they were immediately covered by the cheers of the people.
The Li family occupies more than 30% of the entire Qingyang County's farmland. Once such a large amount is distributed, almost every household of the poor people will benefit. How can they not burst into tears of gratitude?
