chapter one hundred and ninety eight.
Wang Hou only had three axes, catapults, and red coal balls, but they were all good at all!
This is also the reason why he actively uses steel and concrete buildings. Nowadays, most buildings are built with wood. This thing is most afraid of fire. Even if it is as magnificent as the Abang Palace and the Daming Palace, it has been burned into white ground like a fire, let alone this small village.
Even if we encounter wars frequently, we have a certain degree of fire resistance, but we can't resist coal! We just watched the two heavy reflex guns and dismantled the ejection arms on the Liang'an in the room flew out suddenly. Hundreds of kilograms of red coal in a large spoon were slugs, dragging their long black tail in the air, shouting that Oli flew out.
The hot red coals fell and the Taishan bandits on the wall covered their heads and cried and shouted to hide everywhere. But there was a saying that the monk could not escape. The burned red coals hit the village wall. In the house, on the haystack, and the thatched houses were directly covered. A large number of village heads were holding blankets and buckets were spread desperately. But on the other end, the smoldered coal was lying on the wooden piles, corridors, walls, etc., and black smoke rose again.
There were fireworks everywhere, and a large hut that was resident in the blink of an eye turned into honeycomb coal. The thick black smoke made people cough and they couldn't stay at all. The battle against the village came to an end.
However, even the bandits of Mount Tai are divided into different classes. Seeing the smoke and fire, the big landlords and bandit leaders were wrapped in some gold, silver and fine softness, and with their dog legs and concubines, they turned around and fled to the deeper mountains and jungles. The lower level was usually tenant serfs, and the poor mountain people who were promoted to a minion during the war escaped in a dizzy way, opening the door to welcome their new masters.
In fact, it really takes time to solve the problem of Mount Tai bandits. The battle has only started. All those who escape to the back mountain are the most core and most deadly vested interests among the rich families of Mount Tai. Once they disappear in the mountains and fields, it is extremely difficult to carry out a second wave of searches and extermination! Moreover, Wang Hou burned their houses and snatched their tenant farmers, destroying at least half of their life of rice insects that can survive. I am afraid that these bandits will hate Wang Hou for the rest of their lives.
But now, Wang Hou can’t take care of these follow-ups. He will talk about offending people later. He must get the people first!
Today, this village is the fourth mountain village. Li Dahuzi's Wanlu Mountain has become a thing of the past five days ago. With the fireworks, the Wang family army doesn't even have to rush into the village. They just wait to catch people at the entrance of the village. They are forced by the fire and have nowhere to escape. These Taishan Mountain people become prisoners under Wang Hou's stairs one by one, one after another.
Some people were cursing, some were crying, and turned around every three steps and called their relatives to the Tianhu Village, which had been ignited by half. Seeing them being escorted by officers and soldiers like wolves and tigers, and being driven outside like animals, Wang Hou felt uncomfortable.
Before time traveling, he once fantasized that he would come to ancient times, either to be a hero with great martial arts skills, to help the weak, or to be a selfless Wang Qingtian with no trace of sand in his eyes. But now, he has finally lived like the person he hates the most, a bully, and bully! He has bullied the common people. I really don’t know if TV series in later generations can give him the image of a traitor.
However, without sufficient labor, there will be enough steel and coal. Without these two treasures in the hands of primary industries, Wang Hou would not be able to accomplish great things, or even fail to take over Qingzhou, it would be a small matter. Losing his life and Cao Hongjie and Lu Ji's life would be a big matter. As a head of the family, Wang Hou had to protect more than his delicate wife, his own maid, and his own generals, such as Ge Zanghong, who defected to his subordinates. However, the tenants under his command did not stand higher, the further they could look, and eat, drink and enjoy themselves. The pressure of the cold benefits they bear was just like Alexander.
So, if you die, you will die, I will live well! At least when Wang Hou ruled Qingzhou in the future, he would definitely be much better than Qingzhou under Yuan Tan’s rule! So, please make a contribution to the future of Qingzhou!
As a family leader, you have to carry the burden forward! In an instant, your eyes became cold and iron, and Wang Hou called out with emotionless orders.
"Press them all away and beat them to official slaves!"
"I will obey the order!"
…………
These days, the army's iron-blooded actions were everywhere, and they were cruelly comparable to the military farming order implemented by General Cao in the later period, but the effect was also excellent. In just eight days, the army was dispatched, and tens of thousands of people were defeated as official slaves.
At this time, Qingzhou's population was said to reach three million at its peak. However, a few years ago, the million-level Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army swept across the entire Central Plains. The war and refugees lost about half of the population in Qingzhou, and the remaining ones were mostly concentrated in the plains in western Shandong and northern Shandong. Under Yuan Tan's command, Taishan County could have a population of more than 200,000!
This made Wang Hou pick the big persimmon and suddenly cut off one-fifth to one-thirty-fifth of the population under his own hands.
Today, he brought more than 2,000 men and women back to Longma Village, filling the already crowded village a little more.
Wang Hou is a black-hearted robber, and it is not a blessing when he comes! He has to work! The more than 2,000 strong men he brought back a few days ago have been organized and stuffed into the iron mine behind Longmazhai. He took out two more mine caves at once. The red iron ore piled up under their transport, and filled the warehouse where Xu Du had stored the ore before.
There are so many people, it is okay to eat for the time being. I got 100,000 s of military rations from Langya, and I got some of these villages, which was enough for the army and the people to eat for about a year. I could wait for the autumn harvest to cut some of the fields of natural villages in the villages. The only thing that was a little difficult was the residence. After all, Longma Village was a small mountain village with less than 1,000 people stuffed into more than 22,000 people at once. Not to mention these prisoners, even Wang Hou's army slept in the open tent, let alone prisoners.
Fortunately, with the experience of building Dongjun on a large scale, the Wang family's construction team is now an experienced contracting team. Here are still iron ore, with a pile of slags. On the mountain, several masters directed the captured official slaves to dig the foundation with sighs. Under the slope, women were mobilized to use the Taishan stone millstone seized from those cottages to grind the slags and clay to refine cement.
On the mountain, when he saw Wang Hou leading his army back with two giants, Jia Xu, the Qingzhou leader who was responsible for the command of the left-behind command, greeted him with an old face and sadly.
"Dongweng, why are you arresting someone again!!!"
