After counting the surrendered soldiers of the Northern Army, there were more than 40,000 soldiers. Although the commander-in-chief and senior officers had all knelt down, there were still many middle-level officials, including those who had temporarily assumed command.
Just in case, these guys were all imprisoned by Zeng Yi, and top-notch experts from the Blood Clothes Guard were sent to guard them.
The daily food and grass for so many NPCs is a huge consumption. Fortunately, the original food and grass of the Northern Army were stored in the city lord's palace. The guarding Northern Army General's personal army was also wiped out by the blood-clothed guards led by Zeng Yi. All the food and grass fell into the city.
In the hands of Zeng Yi and others, it can still hold on for a few days.
After the Northern Army soldiers surrendered, Zeng Yi had ordered the Jinyi Guards to pass the news back to the capital. Now Zeng Yi was waiting for the court's order. Zeng Yi actually didn't know the fate of these Northern Army soldiers. After all, they were engaged in rebellion.
things.
The players occupied the entire Nara Castle. At this time, in Nara, except for the trembling islanders, all the players were excited. The guilds also left and began to search for their own territories. Each guild obtained a large territory.
The worst small guild also has a street, but the harvest is unexpectedly small.
When the Northern Army occupied Nara, the island country's defenders took the initiative to retreat. During the retreat, the big families took away all the property they could take away. After the Northern Army came, they looted again in order to survive, and even once
I heard that those guys from the Northern Army postponed Nara's taxes for ten years in order to get military expenses.
By the time Nara was in the hands of the players, Nara actually had little wealth. The players had paid such a high price, but it was not like they just gained this small amount, so the people of the island country were unlucky again. The island country has been in war all the year round, and the people of this island country have long been conquered by the island country.
After the famous families had been plundered countless times, a group of more ferocious Central Plains people came over from the island country's famous names.
But it wasn't until the players occupied this place that the people from the island country discovered that compared to these people, the people from the island country in front were already kind. At least the people from the Central Plains would not deny them a way to survive. However, the later players, in order to collect enough wealth,
It simply doesn’t give them a way to survive.
Although Zeng Yi doesn't think it is easy for players to occupy Nara for a long time now, Nara has been occupied. Many guilds, especially the top ten guilds in the island country that have not yet had their own territory, do not want to give up the island country just like that. Players have to take a long time
When they occupy Nara, they certainly won't want those islanders. The Northern Army wants these islanders to feed them. Players don't have this consideration. They search from house to house. After grabbing the last copper coins of these islanders, the guilds will directly transfer them to them.
Those islanders were driven out of Nara. Not killing these islanders directly was considered a kindness from the player to them.
All the major guilds were searching for territory, but the Northern Army was unable to search the city lord's palace. However, Zeng Yi and the four of them did a little searching first. It stands to reason that the Northern Army also looted a lot of things from Nara in order to raise military expenses, but the four of them
But they didn't find much silver. After some investigation, Zeng Yi found out that a lot of silver had been awarded to his subordinates by the general of the Northern Army.
The rebellious Northern Army has no backing and no belief in fighting. In order to keep these subordinates with him, the Northern Army General can only give heavy rewards. The senior officers and the Northern Army General are basically the same as each other. As the leaders, they naturally do not need them.
In terms of rewards, the middle and lower-level officers received a lot of money. After all, these people were not that willing to rebel.
"It turns out the money is all on those officers!"
"How about we?" The boss reached out and wiped his neck.
"These mid- and low-level city officials are directly connected to ordinary soldiers. They are much more down-to-earth than the generals, and their prestige among ordinary soldiers is also very high. If the middle-level and low-level officers are killed, I am afraid it will cause trouble!"
Si frowned and said.
At this moment, a Jinyiwei spy rushed into the city lord's mansion at high speed, "Master Commander! Your Majesty's imperial edict has arrived!"
Zeng Yi quickly took over the imperial edict and checked it, "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says..."
"What does the court mean?" Seeing Zeng Yi frowning and thinking deeply, the fourth child immediately asked. Zeng Yi did not speak and threw the imperial edict to the fourth child.
After the fourth child took it and checked it, the boss asked anxiously: "What do you mean?"
The fourth child smiled and said: "It's pretty much what we expected. Only the culprits will be killed, and all the ordinary soldiers will be brought back to the Central Plains!"
"Oh, so that's what it means!" Zeng Yi suddenly realized at the side.
The fourth child: "...I just had feelings, you damn can't understand the meaning!"
"Made, there are a lot of classical Chinese texts, and I can only guess the general meaning."
...
"Hey, with this imperial edict, things will be easier to handle! Maybe we can take the opportunity to make a small fortune." Zeng Yi looked at the imperial edict in his hand and said with a smile.
Then the three of them ran to the Northern Army soldiers with the imperial edict. Zeng Yi had the Tiger Talisman of the Northern Army in his hand. In a sense, he was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army. When the Northern Army soldiers saw him, they immediately knelt down and saluted, "
See General!"
"Get on your feet, His Majesty's decree has arrived!"
After hearing Zeng Yi's words, no one stood up. Instead, they all looked at Zeng Yi nervously. Whether they could return to the Central Plains alive depends on this imperial edict.
Seeing everyone so nervous, Zeng Yi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, since I have promised to help you, you will be absolutely fine! Your Majesty has decreed that only the first culprit will be punished! Although your general is dead, I will give you a
Opportunity, if you know of any remarks or actions by your superiors that are disrespectful to the court, report it immediately!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, General!" Those soldiers were very excited when they learned that they could return to the Central Plains. They could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In addition to those who died in battle, the Northern Army also had hundreds of middle- and low-level officers. Investigating these people was a very troublesome matter. Zeng Yi did not have that ability or experience. Professional matters were left to professionals. Naturally, such matters were left to
The Jinyiwei spies.
As expected, the Jin Yiwei were very professional and quickly investigated the officers. Only then did Zeng Yi know that, such as the Northern Army, which was dissatisfied with the little princess from the beginning, there were actually some people among them who did not want to rebel against the imperial court, but these people
They were all killed, and they were killed by their former comrades in order to show their stance to the general!
"Haha, let's go and meet our God of Wealth!" Zeng Yi looked at the list in his hand, sneered twice, and led the three bosses straight to where the officers were being held.
