The third head of the family in ** County is no stranger at all, because he spent his childhood in this place.
When he was a boy, he was the son of a poor family, but this did not affect his view of the entire city.
I understand. When Li Cong asked him about some things in this county, this guy immediately became interested, let alone talking about it.
After becoming a bandit, this guy got into trouble inside. Even when he was a bandit, he went in there several times. As for the people inside,
The streets are so familiar, and this guy also knows a lot about some of the wealth in the city.
"Sir, if you ask about other places, I might not know about it, but don't mention how familiar I am with this place.
I can still name many of them. This county town can be said to be the largest city on the southern coast. Of course
, there is no seaside trade here, but there are always docks near the sea. I know that the court uses ships for transportation.
Of course things must be transported faster than by land, but these guys are afraid that the common people will do the same thing. What they fear most is the common people.
People with the same surname as the Eastern Empire went to sea. It would be a big deal if they found an island or something outside, and they would drag it away.
If families leave the empire with their own people, then the empire's population will be lost, so what are the ships here?
Most of them are owned by the government. Even the several warehouses on the shore are also owned by the government. Let’s start with the warehouses on the shore. Here
There are about a dozen warehouses, three of which are heavily guarded. Those stored there are some from the surrounding seaside.
All the provincial taxes are collected here and then uniformly transported to the central region through sea transportation, and then from inland waterway shipping
It will be shipped directly to the capital." This guy told the news very clearly.
"Apart from these warehouses, the other warehouses are of little use. Most of the things stored in other warehouses are
It's the same thing as what I robbed this time. It's of little value. Even if you empty out the entire warehouse, it won't matter.
They don't care about these things. Such a big empire will not lack these things, except for those on the seaside.
The warehouse is then in the city, because the selection of places in several county towns around this county is not very good, so some of the surrounding
Rich people like to live in this place. Most of them live in the South District, which is very close to the Navy. As for the others
The three districts are basically where people live, and there is nothing to rob. But if you want to go ashore to rob, you will encounter resistance.
It is certainly not small. In addition to the 20,000 navy troops I mentioned before, there are also two defense camps on land, led by a general.
Leader, there are about 40,000 people. They are not comparable to the navy. Their training is still very good. If
Without them, we would have gone to land to rob." This guy was already looking vaguely at the scene when he spoke.
I can see some land in the distance and so on. The time now is basically just right. It will get dark soon. At this time
There is no lighting equipment. Whether it is defensive or offensive, night is not a good choice.
At this moment, the people in the harbor have no consciousness at all. Just as the third master said, the Navy will come out today.
Less than three ships wandered around less than 2 nautical miles away, and they returned in less than five minutes.
It can be said that the ship has just moved. Today, the mission of tens of thousands of them has been completed. How about the navy like them
The family really has no choice, and the Army doesn’t want them. How could they come to serve as soldiers? The Navy’s salary is hundreds of dollars.
It hasn’t been raised once in years, and now it’s still 1.2 taels of silver a month. How can this amount be enough? As long as you have a family or something,
Basically, no one can survive in this place. There is no future at all. They must give themselves
The family is not responsible. Those who stay here are either new people or people who eat by themselves so that the whole family is not hungry. After all, the water
The division is still in charge of your food, isn't it? The Southern Empire still needs it. If the problem of feeding the soldiers cannot be solved,
Their face will be lost. The Southern Empire will not do such a thing.
"Damn, these bastards, how long have they been out for? They came back just when I went to the toilet.
Didn't General Cai say that these are extraordinary times? It would be great if those pirates knew the news. Let them
Go out and take a look, you'll be back when you farted." On the shore, a navy officer said angrily.
"Forget it, what's the big deal? Isn't it just that the taxes from dozens of surrounding provinces have arrived? It's less than a hundred
Well, why are you so anxious? There were no problems before. The Governor has already sent five thousand people from his patrol camp over.
Reinforcements are here. How dare those bandits be so bold? Our navy doesn’t have the ability to stop them. It’s up to us.
We know the combat effectiveness and weapons, but the people in the patrol camp are not half as powerful, plus there are tens of thousands of troops on land.
Even if the pirates are here, they probably won't get any benefits." Another officer said nonchalantly,
These two can be regarded as junior officers. Look at the food they eat. They are similar to those of soldiers in the army. It can be imagined that the generals of the Navy
What is the level of Tong's soldiers? How could they possibly sacrifice their lives for the empire in such a state?
"Well, it's better not to get into trouble after all. Those tax dollars are not a small amount, and you didn't see it yourself.
I have seen that one province is worth nearly 50 million taels of silver. How much is it for a hundred provinces? Billions of silver
The child is placed there. If you are not afraid, I will still be afraid. If something goes wrong, you will not be able to escape from top to bottom.
Can we two have no responsibility?" This guy glanced at the warehouse over there with some fear. In order to save transportation, the court
The cost of transportation is all for such a large-scale transportation, and basically nothing happened, but we are waiting for those who are farther away.
When the province transports money, we can't afford to wait. This is the time when people need to worry the most.
"My eyelids keep twitching when you say that. Is something going to happen? Damn it, look what's going on over there.
.Why did the ship appear? It seems that it is not our ship, they are pirates? It’s not like that, pirates are not that strange.
What's going on with this strange ship?" The guy rubbed his eyes. At this moment, he saw two boats appearing on the sea.
Ten strange ships, how could there be no sails on such a ship, and because the time was too short, he did not notice this
The speed of the ship is actually very fast. They have never encountered such speed before.
"Quick...quick, why are you still dazed? Hurry up and ring the alarm. I'll report to the general." Another one said loudly, without waiting.
While they were taking action, the two men next to them quickly ran towards the big clock in the distance. This big clock was originally built
It was built to warn people. As soon as he rang it, people in the entire county would probably hear it. It is estimated that Li Cong's
The effect of this robbery will be reduced a lot, but it doesn't matter now, because the third boss has taken care of some things on the shore.
They all saw it, and he had already told Li Cong. Li Cong also knew that he couldn't let them ring the bell, although the attack would make them
People on the beach were scared and knew the news, but most people in the city didn't understand what was going on.
Boom boom boom... 102 ran at the front. This guy was also the first to enter the shooting element. This guy started shooting violently.
Fire at that big clock. Aren't you going to sound an alarm? I'll show you now that the alarm thing is gone. How can you?
Why did they start firing this thing? The dozen or so shells went by exactly as they predicted. The big clock and the ten shells around him
Several soldiers were immediately reimbursed, and many naval officers and soldiers who were still sleeping came out with their arms naked, one by one.
They don’t even know what’s going on. Why is there such a noise? Look in front of them. When did there be so many people?
How about so many big ships? Could these people be pirates? But how could pirates have such powerful things?
"Quick, quick, stop fucking dazed, go and send a message to the warehouse and the city lord immediately, telling them to be more vigilant. The remaining
The men below me come aboard and prepare to fight." The junior officer immediately yelled at his soldiers loudly, although they
None of them were willing to get on the boat, because if they looked like this on land, they could survive as long as they were careful, but when they arrived at sea
Going here is completely different. They don't want to lose their lives, so dozens of naval warships are immediately on board.
They were gone, but their movements didn't look like they were going out to fight. Their movements were really slow.
When several navy officers saw their men acting like this, they pretended to beat a few of them at first and told them to come out quickly.
Go, but then just ignore it, damn, my usual treatment is not very good, why am I so mean?
I have to work hard for them. It's better to let others do this kind of thing. I don't have such a good nature.
I'd better just rest in the port honestly.
But it’s not like people won’t attack you if you don’t go out. Even if you are in the port, you are still a naval warship, right? Outside 104.105
The two warships have already aimed at these dozen naval warships. Whoever moves will naturally be hit first. This basically doesn't matter.
It's easy to discuss. There was a naval warship that was about to leave. He was the most unlucky. He was hit by more than a dozen cannonballs all over his body. He was immediately killed.
After being pushed into the water, hundreds of officers and soldiers above also went into the water, but because they were surrounded by their own people, not many died.
When had the navy experienced such a thing? In their impression, even if the pirates united, they would not
If they are so arrogant, the most they can do is block the place where the navy goes out, and they will not return it to the court.
They will attack here when there are a large number of troops, because they know clearly that nothing will happen if they attack at this time.
It ended well. But what are they doing now? They don’t want just a little bit, they want too much.
. Could it be that they are all risking their lives because they want to collect money from the imperial court? Is this a small amount? Billions of dollars.
? Don’t they know that even if they can successfully get the money, they don’t have the brains to spend it? The court will definitely
If we make great efforts to rectify them, we may send a large number of troops to capture them.
But there is no one standing in front of you now, and you have no way to go over and ask them what is going on. Navy officers and soldiers
They can only hide everywhere. They don't understand what the pirates' weapons are and how they can be so powerful. This is so far away.
It was far away. Their weapons couldn't hit that position at all. Several trebuchets on the shore also fired back, but
Basically, it doesn't have much effect. They can only look at everything in front of them helplessly. They have no choice but to use their weapons.
There is a big difference between fighting out and others. Although there are several high-level archers in the navy, there are only two of them.
It couldn't play a big role, and the first two arrows were killed by Li Cong's shot back, so there was no
Any archer desperately attacks others with magic arrows. How can he protect the imperial court's tax money and his own head?
This is important. They understand in an instant what to choose, and sometimes the choice is not that difficult.
The third boss is probably the most excited person at this time. He never thought that he would be so prosperous.
, he could actually see such a situation. In the past, if they wanted to enter here, they had to fight with the officers and soldiers of the navy.
They agreed that at least half of the money they robbed should be given to them, otherwise they would not agree. They all
They are some bandits. No matter how powerful they are in normal times, if they encounter the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, they will not have the courage to confront them head-on.
No, no, every time when they had almost finished robbing, the navy officers and soldiers would come and drive them away, and then the navy officers and soldiers would
We have gained face, and we have benefits when we go back to share the money with them. All the infamy is given to them, but this
I don’t care anymore. After all, if you become a pirate, why do you need that reputation? This is very unbalanced. Why?
Well, I left a bad reputation, not as much as you bastards, now it’s better, I’m following now.
It will be a very simple thing to come to your place to rob you. You can take whatever you want.
"Sir, have you seen it? Over there is the court's warehouse, where they store tax money. In the past,
When we came, basically no one was watching there, because there was no money in it, and now it seems that there are
There are really many troops. I think the amount of money inside should be quite large. Do you want us to go over and have a look?" Three
The guy who heads the house is very familiar with this place. His suggestion is that he wants to go there and have fun. Naturally, Li Cong will not stop him.
Well, anyway, what I have to do is to make things big, so naturally I have to be satisfied with this.
"Well, you can just take the people there after the bombardment. I want to see if it is true that the Southern Empire is rich.
, Don’t just be an empty shelf." Li Cong said with a smile, he was absolutely in favor of robbing this guy.
Yes, no matter what others think, this is what I am most passionate about anyway, and it will be more comfortable to rob my enemies.
"Sir, although the Southern Empire is not comparable to the Eastern Empire, it is still remarkable among these major empires. It turns out that
They are the most powerful in the Western Empire, but after the civil strife of the Tuoba clan in the Western Empire, they can no longer survive. A lot of wealth is in
It was reimbursed during the war, but the Southern Empire has risen, especially the southern part of the Southern Empire. The past few years have been good.
It can be said that they are all very rich. In the past, we could get at least several million silver, or more, in one visit.
It's possible to earn tens of millions of dollars at that time." The third head of the family also said thinking about the past, but now it's just a passing thought.
After smoking, all the money was hidden by the boss. I don’t know exactly where it is. This boss is such a bastard.
In normal times, Dan didn't divide the money, and all he gave to the brothers was a certain amount. He said he was afraid of spending money, so he kept it, but he kept it.
Some brothers never see where their money is until they die.
"Haha, tens of thousands of troops can watch over tens of millions of dollars? Don't the Southern Empire's armies have anything else to do? Look.
We are very lucky today. Look at the crowds of people on land. I bet you will have a lot of money this time.
." Li Cong looked at the shore and said, and the third master also looked over, and it was indeed like that. It didn't happen before.
So many troops, where did they come from this time? Judging from their appearance, there are quite a few of them.
There is no need to report it now. The entire county basically knows about this matter, but the Army is not too panicked.
Even if the pirates come, what will happen? They haven't even passed the navy yet, let alone come to land.
. Mainly because they all thought that the Governor's five thousand men were the most elite army in the entire province. They only
If nothing goes wrong, no matter how many pirates come, they will only return with a pile of corpses in the end, and there is no way they can do anything big.
Yes, so they all walked slowly. It didn't seem like they were going to war. Some of them were still discussing what to eat when they came back.
, how to play? Such a habit developed by such an army will really kill soldiers like them.
When the first army unit was equipped and came out, Mr. Qian who led the team was dumbfounded. What was going on? That's the navy over there.
Camp? Damn it, why did two ships block them inside? Aren’t they very powerful? What is going on now?
, how can they come out to scare the pirates in normal times? If they don't come out now, won't these people have to rob it?
After occupying the beachhead position, Mr. Qian immediately clapped his hands and led him forward. He said that the brothers were going to the beach. As long as it was
Occupy that area and prevent the pirates from landing. I believe the pirates have no other options. What's the use of being powerful in the sea?
Are you together? When you get to the shore, you will be useless. You will have to get out in the end, but what kind of sea is this?
The thief must figure it out. Why did he come at this time? This ambition is not small. He will work hard when he is free in the future.
To deal with them, it’s better to protect the money now. The city lord’s servants have been here several times, so we must protect them.
Good money, this money is not only from their heads, but also from the heads of those superior officials.
Speaking of which, another thing is the selfishness of the governor, governor and several city lords around here. They all know it.
This money will be kept here for at least half a year, so their banks will use this money to circulate. Basically
There is no need for any interest on the money. It is like using other people's money to make money for themselves. If it is money
Something went wrong. The higher authorities are investigating this matter. Whose money does it belong to? It belongs to the emperor. You use the emperor's money to make money for yourself.
Son, if the emperor finds out about this, the very least he can do is lose his head.
When Mr. Qian led his people to the beach, he was also surprised. Why were all the boats lined up in a row and no one wanted to dock?
What do you mean, what's going on? Don't they all want to come up? If the pirates don't want to come up and rob, then what?
It means nothing to them. What are they doing here? Are they just messing around with such powerful weapons?
Soon the roaring shells let them know what was going on. Li Cong's army was not unable to come at this time, but
If there are such artillery, why don't you use your own flesh and blood to fight against them? That is impossible, so
But they are very economical of their own energy. They have never seen artillery attacks. They stood in a neat queue and were beaten.
, the result was naturally very tragic. Thousands of them were directly reimbursed, including the most elite members of the Governor's Mansion.
Some of the 5,000 people are brave when fighting against others, but what is this? Is this also a war against others?
They had never encountered this in their lives. At this time, Li Cong waved his hand and the troop transport began to move forward. Tens of thousands of people on the shore
The army is already in chaos, and this is the most appropriate time to land.
About 5,000 soldiers armed with serial crossbows began to occupy the beachhead position inch by inch. They were not in a hurry to move forward;
They are waiting for the artillery on the ship to hit the people in front before attacking. This can effectively reduce the number of people in front of them when they come.
They themselves were very careful about their own casualties and spread out one by one. Although the enemy had no artillery,
But when they attacked the enemy, they also saw that the side with artillery attacked and marched in a neat queue, and more people died.
They had just laughed at others for such silly things, so they would not do it now.
Soldiers with serial crossbows are just a little worse than soldiers with submachine guns. This is what Li Cong said. In fact, this is
This is also truly established. If it had its own organization, the Southern Empire's army could still resist for a while.
But now they have nothing. All they want is to escape quickly, and they will naturally be massacred. Massacre without resistance will
Since they advanced less than a kilometer, more than 20,000 Southern Empire soldiers have lost their lives, and the remaining
All of them were like frightened birds. They did not dare to resist, and they all knelt down and were taken as prisoners. These people were dumbfounded.
How come their army and defense lines are so unable to resist? What are tens of thousands of people doing? They die too quickly.
"Second team? Rush over and see what's in their warehouses. Damn it. There are tens of thousands of people watching in several warehouses.
, it’s the people wearing this kind of clothes who resist the most. I said, don’t fucking say you don’t know who these people are.
, if you say no, I will shoot you an arrow immediately." The squadron leader kicked a prisoner next to him.
"Yes... they are our governor's personal soldiers. This time the warehouse is all filled with money. The governor doesn't trust us, so he asked his people to come
I watched it in person." This guy said tremblingly, things are not that simple, will he die if he says so?
When the squadron leader heard that it was silver, the soldiers over there had already opened the warehouse over there, and they tore off the boxes inside. All the silver inside was scattered on the floor. These soldiers immediately
The ship in the distance began to send semaphores. It is said that it is impossible to see clearly at such a long distance, but this is also directly related to Li Cong and the others' telescopes. As long as they have this thing, they can see everything.
The news about the soldiers here immediately reached Li Cong's ears. To create chaos? Civil chaos can be created, but to shock the court, they have to do something they don't want to see. This robbery
According to Ku Yin, this kind of thing is definitely not a trivial matter. You have to make every one of them feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, it will never work. This method is very good.
"Tell the brothers above that they don't need to load the silver in the bank. Tell them to keep moving forward. They must occupy the entire county and then rob the city with all their strength. The warships behind will be ready to respond.
All the airships have to retreat. They cannot be exposed. Remember to ask people to send some scouts around. A large group of people from the province is coming. They don't even know it yet. If they are surrounded, it will be a disaster." Li Cong looked at it.
The soldier on the land in front said that it would be a waste of time if the silver in the bank was moved out box by box. He could just use his mind to collect it. If he had billions of silver in the past, he would definitely be very fond of it.
It's cool, but it's just a small amount of money now, nothing big. If you rob the Treasury, the entire Southern Empire will be shaken. If you rob the county, the people in the city will panic.
After receiving Li Cong's order, this group of soldiers immediately found some nearby horses and mounted them, and ran towards the city. There were some poor fishermen outside. What did the fishermen have to rob?
Your total wealth is only a little, so it is better to go to the rich households in the city. If a poor person is robbed and reports it to the government, will the government give you an answer? No, the most they can do is comfort you.
You can just say a few words, but the rich are different. The rich have connections with some officials and so on. If you don't care here, the higher ups will suppress you.
Groups of thousands of cavalry rushed to the base of the county city. The soldiers in the county city already knew about Hai Bing. Naturally, they would not open the city gate. There were already some sporadic bows and arrows.
Coming down. Attacking a city is a very troublesome thing for people of this era. In the past, the pirates also stopped at this time. It is impossible for them to attack such a tall county. They must go back.
But the people who came this time were completely different from those pirates. The pirates had their own weapons, and immediately there were a dozen people on fast horses, under the cover of the crossbows behind them, quickly heading towards them.
They rushed towards the city gate. They seemed to have thrown something. From a distance, it was hard to see what was going on. When they got closer, they could see clearly that it was something with a long handle.
This thing is a grenade. It is impossible to open the city gate individually, but it is completely different if they are bundled together.
With a bang, there was a violent explosion at the city gate. The Southern Empire soldiers on the city gate felt as if there was an earthquake. They felt unsteady on the city wall, and they didn't know how such a thing could happen.
, they didn’t know what was going on, and they didn’t expect such a thing to happen. Looking at the city gate below, the city gate was already terribly incomplete. It was impossible to resist the enemy.
The two cavalrymen threw another bundle of that stuff over. Good guy, there was nothing left. The city gate and the building were almost blown down. This was the first time they had seen such a thing. How could such a thing happen?
Well. What on earth are they and how can they be so powerful?
But they had no time to think about this, because the cavalry in the distance had already begun to charge, and they had to resist. However, when they rushed over, they discovered that their weapons were very powerful and they could not see at all.
I figured out what was going on and was killed. I had never seen such weapons before. Where did these guys get them? What kind of people were they? I really couldn't defeat them.
of.
Li Cong's people were not without casualties. After all, they only had 2,000 people entering the city. There were more than 5,000 people, but at most there were only dozens of people injured. Li Cong had already given orders before.
Well, there are no survivors in this war. If there are any survivors, they will probably be traced to themselves. They can't trace things like artillery at all. Anyway, they won't let the artillery be exposed.
, As for the serial crossbows, as long as all the serial crossbows are brought back, things like these crossbow arrows cannot be exposed at all. All Li Cong's serial crossbows use the most common crossbow arrows.
The cavalry here rushed into the city, and the whole city was in chaos. They did not start looting immediately after entering the city, but quickly occupied the four city gates, leaving 100 people at each gate. They could only
Since you can't get in or out, the rest can be done step by step. After Li Cong got off the ship in person, he went over to collect the items in the bank. In addition to some silver, there were also some other precious items. It was said that they were all given to the Southern Empire.
The emperor's birthday gifts are considered precious. This year is also the birthday of the Emperor of the Southern Empire. There is no need to celebrate it now. You can just take it with you.
The entire county is already under Li Cong's control. Li Cong has already given orders to the people below to rob wealthy families. We cannot do such immoral things with women, but we can
Let them take turns to go to Huajieliuxiang in the city to feel comfortable. Of course, they all have to pay money, which is fine according to their normal standards. Although we are robbers, we absolutely cannot get the money from selling meat.
Yes, this is our standard.
Some wealthy families in the city are having a hard time at this time. After entering, these soldiers are not willing to take hard or soft food. They will take things directly. Those who do not resist are considered very good. At most, they will just kick you in the feet.
Now, if you resist, it won't be that easy. I'll cripple you directly without taking your life. Of course, as long as I hand it over, I can keep it for you.
One-third, this is considered for all those people to watch. If you are a servant in this family, if you can report the property inside, I can also share some with you. Many are oppressed by the master.
People come to help these strange "pirates" with their own blood feud. I have never seen these pirates rob something and still distribute it to everyone. Such things are very rare.
Another strange thing about the pirates is that they even robbed the government warehouses. There have been several pirates entering the city in the past. They basically attacked the wealthy families. As for the government warehouses
They would never dare to go there. They all knew very well that the people who robbed wealthy families were just ordinary people. Even if they were related to officials, the empire would not send troops for them. But if you robbed the government warehouse
If so, this is not half a trivial matter. In the end, you may be forced to walk around because you can't eat. There has been such a thing in history. All the pirates were imprisoned just because they robbed the government's treasury.
Killed, this kind of thing will make future pirates understand that the private property of officials and the property of the empire are sacred and inviolable, unless it is their own fate.
Basically more than half of the 2,000 people who entered the city were government assets that went there first. The government warehouses were dumbfounded. The people who guarded the warehouses didn't usually have much training, so they didn't wait for what these pirates had to say.
Well, everyone is ready to run away. They don't want to lose their lives because of this trivial matter. It's not worth it. Similar things have happened before, but they are not as serious as this time.
, looking at this situation, if you don't escape, you will lose your life here. The direct result of their escape was that Li Cong's people quickly seized these warehouses and began to move the things in these warehouses out.
When Li Cong entered the city, he also watched the soldiers around him busy. Although he thought this was a very big city, he did not expect that the wealth in the city would reach this level. Two thousand people came to carry out this work.
Now it seems that it is not enough. Li Cong immediately ordered a reserve of one thousand people on the ship to enter the city. They will help these soldiers who advance into the city to complete this dishonorable and arduous task.
The officials in the city and some wealthy businessmen have been detained under centralized custody. These people are the essence of this city. Li will never let them see all this. If they see it, they will quickly
Remember these and analyze them, which is very detrimental to you, and those ordinary people don't need to worry about this. They don't have such strong analysis, which also allows them to live a very good life, at least now they are safe.
of.
The Lord of the City is the highest official here. He once tried to discuss with the occupying forces what should be done about this matter. But the answer was a beating. The Lord of the City also understood that things are different now. He
He is no longer the former city lord. Even his slaves may not listen to what he says anymore. He has now become a prisoner. You have to face up to your current identity. You are no longer the original city lord.
The people in the county also feel strange. They have obviously heard the news of the pirates landing, but so far, their lives are still peaceful and safe. The only people they see in front of their homes are themselves.
Their neighbors were all their former friends, and no strangers appeared around them at all. They couldn't help but ask, where have these pirates gone? Aren't they here to rob? Why can't they be seen now?
, are they just here to make soy sauce? Of course the pirates are not here to make soy sauce, but this time the pirates' goals are different from before. In the past, they were afraid of the suppression of the Southern Empire government, so they only dared to attack ordinary people.
, did not dare to attack the officials, but this time Li Cong wanted to create chaos. He had to attack these officials in order to achieve his goal and create chaos to the maximum extent. The chaos was not determined by the size, but by the size.
In the chaos, the identities of the people involved are determined. If you, a common citizen, are robbed, the most you can do is talk to the relatives and friends around you for a while. How powerful can the relatives and friends of ordinary people be?
