With a loud shout, all the officers and soldiers on the city tower knelt down. The guard Zhao Xiang'er remained silent for fear that the other party would kill him with a sword. The soldiers behind said boldly: "Your Majesty, Commander, we are all innocent and have never participated in anything."
Something that goes against the imperial court. ??? ? ”
"Please sir, please be merciful and let us go. This guy has evil intentions and should be punished. We are unjust..."
Qiu Yu said in a deep voice: "You all get up. I once said that I am here to punish him alone and will not implicate others. Don't worry, everyone. As long as you obey my orders, you will not be held accountable. Anyone who comes here will not be held accountable."
, tie up this bastard, and then open the city gate."
The situation was really reversed. Now no one regarded Zhao Xiang'er as a guard. In their eyes, he was a criminal. A military attache stepped forward and took out the shackles and handcuffed him. Someone went down and opened the city gate, and tens of thousands of cavalry rushed over.
Under the leadership of the officers and soldiers who defended the city, Qiu Yu and others came to the garrison mansion and surrounded them, and then ransacked the house. Nothing was found at first, and then they tortured and extorted confessions. In the end, Zhao Xiang'er couldn't bear the beatings and gave up anyway, so he went to the cellar.
A lot of gold and silver were found inside, including millions of gold coins, all of which were collected by Qiu Yu.
The army took control of Lidu City, and Qiu Yu used a magic owl letter to inform Princess Yanshan of the matter. As for Zhao Xiang'er, the original guard, he was placed in the city square, with his neck and limbs tied up with chains, and the other end was tied to a five-point chain.
On top of a horse, in the presence of many people and soldiers, he was really tortured by being quartered by five horses. Only an extremely shrill scream could be heard, and his burly body was torn apart and fell to the ground.
This move was to kill the chicken for the monkeys to scare the officers and soldiers in the city. His eyes swept over the thousands of soldiers and he said solemnly: "This is the consequences of betraying the imperial court. A new guard master will come in the near future. You must do your best."
If you support us, whoever dares to plot evil will be killed without mercy."
Many officers and soldiers were shocked and said in unison: "Yes."
Three days later, the new garrison appointed by Ji Yurong, escorted by hundreds of cavalry, came to take over the city. They first paid a visit to the commander-in-chief of the West Road, and they could not help but express their loyalty to Qiu Yu. After all, no one dared to neglect this upstart in the court, especially
The new guard is also from the eldest princess's side, so he naturally respects the commander-in-chief more and more.
In the days that followed, Qiu Yu led tens of thousands of cavalry to various places to capture the remnants of the rebellious party, and took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Anyway, these guys are corrupt officials, and money is not easy to come by. It is the so-called ill-gotten wealth.
Everyone takes it.
Everywhere he went, Qiu Yu would recruit troops to expand his team, and offered generous terms. Those who joined the army would be given fifty gold coins as a reward. This move was very effective, and many young people joined the team.
A month has passed and the arrest operation has ended. It is already midsummer. Qiu Yu has returned to the station outside the capital with more than 30,000 cavalry. During this trip, he did not dare to eliminate the dissidents and also absorbed more than 20,000 soldiers.
, which can be said to have benefited a lot.
Princess Yanshan also admired her godson's abilities very much. She felt that he was no inferior to other commanders. He could not only lead troops to fight, but also regulate the court. He was an all-round talent.
The re-established West Route Army was training in full swing at the station. It was very intensive. Fortunately, the food was also very good. There was meat for every meal. However, Qiu Yu allocated part of the money collected to the Military Supplies Department.
Subsidies are provided to officers and soldiers. It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Yan State, the food of the West Route Army is currently the best.
It can be seen that it is true that Qiu Yu loves money, but it is not for himself, but for better development in the future. This kid is also addicted to confiscating homes. After all, when he opens the corrupt official's warehouse and sees the golden light in his eyes, the feeling is really very special.
It was pleasant. Fortunately, there were still several high-ranking official residences waiting for him to seize in the capital. That was the important figures of King Yun's faction. Their residences were sealed and guarded by the Royal Forest Army.
On this day, Qiu Yu led thousands of officers and soldiers to Prince Yun's residence and ransacked the house under the order. Following his order, the imperial guards who were guarding here left, and soldiers from the West Route Army surrounded the palace.
Surrounded by hundreds of confidants, Qiu Yu entered the palace and found the huge underground warehouse without much trouble. The moment he opened it, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded as if they had seen a treasure house.
.
The warehouse is like an underground palace. The gold, silver and jewelry inside shine brightly, which is no less impressive than the national treasury. It is dazzling. There are many open boxes filled with gold and silver coins, as well as countless pearls, agates, emeralds and other precious items.
Priceless.
Even though Qiu Yu was the king of a country on earth, he was surprised to see so many treasures. He originally thought that King Yun was very ambitious and fairly honest, but he didn't expect that he was also a corrupt official, comparable to He Shen of the Qing Dynasty.
It is no exaggeration to say that King Yun is as rich as anyone in the country. Qiu Yu glanced over and already made arrangements. He ordered a group of subordinates to put most of the treasures into storage bags, so everyone started to take action. Nine out of ten of them were in the basement.
All the items were packed into hundreds of storage bags, and they were handed over to the commander-in-chief. Qiu Yu put them into the ten Na Rings, openly took them as his own, and then ordered the remaining one-tenth to be taken.
The property is sealed and ready to be handed over to the treasury.
Hundreds of large iron boxes had their lids fastened and sealed, and were carried out by everyone. Then they were loaded on more than a dozen beast carts. Qiu Yu led the people to move forward in a mighty way on the street.
Seeing a lot of property confiscated on the beast's cart, the people watching on both sides couldn't help but murmured in low voices, feeling that King Yun was really greedy and had plundered a lot of people's wealth and wealth. Now that he was knocked down, he really deserved it.
When the stolen goods were handed over to the treasury, Princess Yanshan specially let them watch in order to alert the civil and military officials. When the large iron boxes were placed in separate warehouses with the lids opened, the officials also saw so much property.
I was dumbfounded by this and secretly muttered that King Yun was really greedy.
Many officials didn't know that this was only part of it. Qiu Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, was even more greedy during the raid. Most of the property fell into the hands of this man, which can be described as audacious.
Just by confiscating Prince Yun's residence, Qiu Yu made a huge profit. Coupled with the money he obtained from the rebels, he now has huge wealth, making him the richest man in the Yan Kingdom. Because for many years
The imperial court was in dire straits, and coupled with the huge expenditures on war in recent years, the national treasury had long been empty and in deficit. Thanks to King Yun, the money was able to supplement it, which was a timely help.
In this case, the money owned by King Yan Jicheng is not as good as this boy. There is no doubt that Qiu Yu is already the richest man in Yan country and no one can match him.
That night, Princess Ji Yurong of Yanshan called her adopted son over and prepared a banquet to drink with her. The two women exchanged cups and drank happily.
After drinking for three rounds, Ji Yurong glanced sideways and said angrily: "How did you get such a good job? You even went to raid the house on orders. You must be greedy, right?"
