The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 67

[Chapter 67 Nanzheng]

I passed Shiquan County all the way, rested in the county for a day, and went to Chenggu County early the next morning.

The water flow around Chenggu County is convenient, and the main stream and two tributaries of the Han River flow within the county.

The land is fertile and agriculture is developed, in which more than 20,000 people live. Although the area of the county is small, it is a place with a large population.

Because the county is close to Nanzheng and has a high political status, many aristocrats have settled here and took root here. The farthest one probably originated in the pre-Qin period, and he has been there for four or five hundred years now.

But today, in a place where he usually lives and works in peace and contentment, and does not hear about the chaos of war, he has ushered in an army of soldiers and horses.

Walking on the small road in the middle of the field outside the village next to him, Zhong Yu looked around from time to time, and found that the food was growing very well here and there, and it was certain that this year would be another good year.

It seems that it is not unreasonable to be able to support the population of two counties in a mere area of one county.

You can tell just by looking at how fertile the land is.

However, although the good fields are good, they are the fields of the nobility, and although there is a lot of grain, they are all the grain of the nobility.

There are many fertile fields here, most of which are the fields of the nobility.

It is usually used for renting to tenants, charging exorbitant taxes, and leaving only enough food for farmers not to starve to death, how stingy and harsh.

As I walked along the way, all the villagers I saw were yellow-faced and skinny, with only a foreskin and bones left. They looked like a candle in the wind at any time, and they could fall down when a breeze blew, which made people feel pity in their hearts.

And those nobles are indeed full of oil, dressed in fine clothes and food, going in and out of the servants Jingji, riding their dogs and walking their dogs, and they have the demeanor of children of aristocratic families.

Comparing the two, his actions don’t seem to be so hateful.

Although he had confiscated the fertile fields of the gentry, he also planned to distribute it to some of the peasants.

And although the tax charged is high, as high as 60%, there are four layers left, enough food for their family of three.

If a virtuous wife is able to plant mulberry trees and weave cloth, the family can even have some balance throughout the year.

This is a day that can only be had during the Taiping Year!

Chenggu County is not far from Nanzheng County.

The county towns of the two counties are only separated by more than 30 miles. With the surrounding plains, the two cities can see each other from a distance across the plains.

This is doomed that he can’t be like before. After capturing the county seat, those gentry and other county towns are still in the dark.

I have enough time to slowly clean up the entire county, and then I will catch them by surprise.

Therefore, we can only make a quick decision, first capture the county seat, so that the entire Chenggu County does not have a place to stick to.

Then use ruthless means to kill all the hidden dangers in the county, and finally leave some people to stick in the county, and take the rest to Nanzheng City, and take the entire Nanzheng before the news is revealed. County.

All the way forward quickly, and soon reached the county seat. All the pedestrians encountered on the way were killed and thrown into the forest to cover up their whereabouts.

The city gate of the county town did not find any trace of him, and was quickly raided by his own cavalry.

It’s just a small county, and at most two or three thousand people can live in him. How long will it take to settle down!

All the officials and the nobles who stayed in the city were all killed by their own troops. After a careful search, they withdrew their troops after they found no one.

The whole process only took him an hour, and even people around the county did not see the turmoil in the county, let alone Nanzheng City, which is thirty miles away.

After the entire county was cleaned up by himself, all the guards and soldiers were beheaded, and the aristocratic family and its servants were also killed by himself.

Without worrying about internal troubles, he left 200 of him, which is enough to hold on for a period of time under the army of no more than 5,000 people.

Not to mention, there are not so many troops in the entire Hanzhong County.

Even if there is, he is not too far away from this Chenggu County, and he will be able to rush back in an hour or two, so there will not be too much danger, causing his back path to be cut off.

With the remaining 1,000 people, they rushed out of the city gate and walked in the direction of Nanzheng County.

Pedestrians on the way were all killed on the spot and thrown in hidden places to cover their whereabouts.

Soon, two hours later, he arrived at the gate of Nanzheng County and hid in the woods at the gate of the county.

Nanzheng County, as the county seat of a county, has 1,000 county soldiers guarding it. Although these county soldiers are poorly trained and have never experienced wars, they can be said to be the most elite forces in a county.

It’s not that the guards in the previous county can be compared. Just speaking of the guarding of the city gate, their vigilance is much higher than that of the county.

Anyone holding weapons, as long as there are more than ten people, will be stopped a few dozen steps away from the city gate, and they must surrender their weapons or have someone make a guarantee before they can be released into the city.

If I imagined that I would directly send cavalry to rampage, I am afraid that they will directly close the city gate, ring the alarm bell, and gather the army in the county city and all the servants of the noble family to guard the county city together!

Then, just like the previous strategy, you can only pretend to be a businessman and take dozens of soldiers disguised as handymen.

Hide the weapon in the carriage.

When they approached the city gate, they suddenly launched an attack and killed the soldiers who scattered the city gate.

Then the cavalry who had been prepared for a long time rushed in, and then the event was settled.

Such a series of actions, not to mention those county soldiers, is also very difficult to react to.

This district is a Nanzheng City, isn’t it a product that you can grab by yourself?

Now that you have a plan in mind, follow the plan.

Sure enough, all the city gate guards are greedy. UU reading www.uukanshu.com saw the caravan of two or three cars, and there was a glint in his eyes, as if he saw big money beckoning to them. .

Without too much scrutiny, I came to the gate of the city myself.

Zhong Yu smiled and slowly approached the chief guard at the city gate, stretched out his hands into his arms, and pretended to take out money from it.

The officer really wasn’t too vigilant, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he was amazed in his heart, that businessman really knew how to do things, and saved himself a lot of words.

I will definitely take care of myself later, to make it easier for him, not to be too embarrassed, just for the sake of watching him know how to be a human being.

However, at this moment, an accident happened, and finally he took out a dagger directly from his arms and inserted it into the heart of the officer under the watchful eyes of the public.

Under his stunned, wide-eyed expression, his body was bleeding, and his majestic body fell.

The surrounding soldiers also seemed to have heard the signal and abandoned their disguise one after another.

Turning around, he took out a weapon from the carriage, and killed the surrounding soldiers who were still stunned, unable to react to what happened.

The horn of war sounded at this moment, and the cavalry not far from the city gate also came quickly, but within ten minutes, they arrived at the city gate.

He rushed in directly and killed the people in the city who were still far away before they could escape home.

At this moment, the entire Nanzheng County was caught in the battlefield of a sea of corpses and a sea of blood.

The entire city lost its original order and became a hell on earth, and everyone turned into evil spirits.

The evil in the depths of the heart broke out, Zhong Yu’s soldiers, the county soldiers in the city, some green-skinned rogues, and servants of the aristocratic families in the city.

Unprecedented fighting began in such a small place, and the number of civilians affected is countless.
