At this time, Jiang Long didn't even have his own territory.
The post of Lingtong County Magistrate was also appointed by the imperial court.
The emperor was unhappy and asked you to leave. Jiang Long couldn't resist at all.
The power of Jing Mansion is hidden in the dark.
Strictly speaking, the battlefield was not completely cleaned, because the sergeants just dragged the bodies of the aliens together and piled them up.
There is one more thing to do, and that is to cut off the head.
Each alien soldier's head can be exchanged for one tael of silver.
Of course, that's just saying it.
This is what the military law stipulates:
If you really take it to the military camp to redeem it, the higher ups will definitely charge you a lot of money. It’s already good to get 500 Wen.
In the small courtyard, the few living alien soldiers were beaten to death and dragged out.
"Take off their leather jackets."
Jiang Long pointed, "Give it to the people in the village."
There are not many people in this small village. Even if they only eat one meal a day, it is just enough to survive the entire cold winter.
The clothes on his body are patched with patches.
And it's very thin.
If the temperature is too low and there is a heavy snowstorm, people will freeze to death.
Although they have been collecting dry weeds since autumn to prepare for the winter, the grass stems do not need to be burned.
A large bundle was burned in a short time.
It's better to add a few more layers of thick clothes.
When the people in the village heard this, they were extremely surprised.
They know that it is rare to find a good official.
They all knelt on the ground and thanked him profusely.
His face and eyes showed real emotions.
When a battle occurs, the enemy is defeated, and the items captured are naturally the spoils of war for one's own soldiers.
It should be divided equally among the sergeants, or whoever kills the enemy should get the enemy's items.
Take it and distribute it to the people?
Only a few generals can do this kind of thing.
What's more, Jiang Long also saved their lives and avenged the dead people.
Jiang Long sent his men to skin the dead men. Many of the soldiers felt sick, frightened, and very uncomfortable.
Most people turned their heads away and looked pale.
Jiang Long just looked at it coldly and said nothing.
On the battlefield, it is normal for the dead to be searched and their clothes stripped. These soldiers must adapt to it.
If it were the border troops, they would have jumped forward happily.
Jiang Long had dealt with the border army several times and knew it very well.
The coins obtained from body searches, the enemy's weapons and armor, and sweaters can all be exchanged for money.
Even if they have a long way to go, the frontier soldiers will carry these things on their backs and are reluctant to throw them away.
After half an hour, Jiang Long took off the leather jackets taken off by the sergeant and distributed them fairly to each household.
He also warned that he would come back in the future, and if he found anyone who dared to rob his neighbors' belongings, he would be ruthless with the spear in his hand.
Facing Shang Jianglong's murderous eyes, these people were submissive.
Seeing so many fine leather jackets, someone is indeed thinking wrongly.
After all, there are only fifty leather jackets, so we can’t have one for each person.
Moreover, these fine leather coats can also be sold, so there is no need to go hungry and endure the harsh winter.
But when they heard Jiang Long's warning, these people immediately gave up their thoughts.
Previously, Jiang Long's image of being ruthless, fearless, and killing without batting an eye has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
They had no doubt that if they were really caught stealing leather clothes and were caught by Jiang Long, their lives would be in danger.
Jiang Long was still worried and looked at Li Zheng in the village, "A dozen villagers were killed before, and all men were the backbone of the family. If there is no adult male in any family, you have to take care of it from time to time. If
Which family has been bullied, huh!"
"The villain obeys your orders!"
Li Zheng was so frightened that his knees weakened and he fell to his knees with a plop.
There is still something to do next, which is to chop off the head.
Many people couldn't bear it when the sergeants were asked to strip dead people.
At this moment, people still have to beheaded, and even if they can be exchanged for money, there are still some people who won't do it.
"These are jackals, man-eating tigers and leopards. They often come to our Daqi border to plunder, kill people and set fires, and they deserve to die!" Jiang Long roared loudly: "Just before, a dozen simple villagers died here
In their hands!”
A few words aroused the anger in the hearts of the soldiers.
"There is a stipulation in the army that every alien sergeant's head can be exchanged for one tael of tattooed silver. I guarantee that no one will deduct it harshly!"
"Raise the steel knife in your hand and chop it down hard, it's that simple."
Many things must be guided and cannot always be severely forced.
Because the pressure that everyone can bear is different.
This is not the same as hard physical training.
My physical training can no longer hold up. At worst, you will continue to whip me hard with the whip. When I feel the pain, I will have the strength to keep running forward.
But once the pressure in your heart becomes too great and you cannot bear it, you will have a nervous breakdown!
The consequences of a mental breakdown are terrible.
It doesn't matter if you are alone.
Crazy, yelling, mentally disturbed.
But I am afraid that many people have reached the critical point of mental endurance.
If one person goes crazy at that time, many people will immediately be affected and all go crazy.
When recruits go to the battlefield, they are very nervous and have psychological pressure.
The most unbearable thing is.
The consequence of widespread fear is that mutiny can easily occur.
During the mutiny, these people's nerves were tense and their eyes were red. As long as someone struck first and saw blood, they would kill them at first sight.
Afterwards, my mind was confused and I couldn't remember anything clearly.
Therefore, Jiang Long did not dare to push too far.
You must use words to guide them step by step and force them to do it, and you must have a certain degree of restraint.
Jiang Long did not rush to urge them, but watched calmly as the soldiers moved one after another, one by one, waving their swords to chop off the heads of the foreigners.
The heads were gathered together and put into sacks.
Fortunately, the weather was extremely cold and the blood froze. If it were summer, the smell would be unpleasant.
The veterans of the border army don't care so much. In their eyes, the heads of foreign soldiers are nothing more than silver.
Is there any reason to throw money away?
Veterans are accustomed to tying their enemies' heads to their waists.
This way it's not easy to lose.
And these new recruits brought by Jiang Long obviously don't have the courage yet.
Jiang Long ordered people to bury the remaining headless corpse.
Chang Qian only knew that Jiang Long was very strong and decisive, making him suffer repeatedly, but he did not expect Jiang Long to be so ruthless.
Cold-blooded, cruel!
Kill without blinking an eye!
His mount was led by a sergeant to the edge of the battlefield.
After that, the sergeants all went to fight, while he lay on his horse and watched nervously.
He was afraid that some foreign soldier would accidentally come to his side.
After the battle, his mount was led by the sergeant to the small courtyard. Chang Qian saw with his own eyes that Jiang Long made a sudden move and pierced the throat of a foreign sergeant with his sword.
Hearing Jiang Long's murderous words again, Chang Qian finally recognized the reality. He and Jiang Long were not the same weight at all.
Jiang Long is the God of Killing!
In Jiang Long's words, he is simply a little baby who has not grown up and still needs to be fed.
Chang Qian regretted it.
Really regret it!
What are you doing to provoke Jiang Long?
Before leaving Beijing, his grandfather warned him more than once not to conflict with Jiang Long.
At that time, he agreed verbally, but in his heart he was unusually unconvinced.
Do you think Jiang Long is not as big as you, so what can he do?
But now...
Chang Qian saw the facts clearly, but there was no point in regretting.
He was forcefully taken to the battlefield by Jiang Long.
Although Chang Qian had not participated before and was just watching, Chang Qian was still frightened.
It turns out that this is war, a war that will kill people.
Fight, kill, and clean the battlefield.
They are all bloody.
Not being reasonable, just trying to compete with each other.
Win and reap the spoils.
Even if you die, your head will be chopped off by the enemy to receive merit and reward.
Jiang Long asked the villagers to help him cook, but although the soldiers were hungry, few of them could eat.
Regarding this, Jiang Long did not force him.
Anyway, there are still a few days until the war begins.
I just ate it quickly.
Tudu, Gundy Bak and others also ate their meals as usual as if nothing had happened.
Chang Qian was released and handed a bowl of rice.
The rice will naturally not be too exquisite.
There is a layer of rice with a small amount of pickles on top, and a few slices of air-dried lean meat.
Having slices of meat is pretty good for an ordinary sergeant.
Pickles are a must. People don’t have enough energy if they don’t eat some salt.
Although Chang Qian didn't eat this morning, he was already full after seeing the bloody scene earlier.
So I held the bowl and didn't take a bite.
Finally, the bowl of rice was collected and distributed to the villagers in the village.
After eating and taking a short rest, the team set off again.
Chang Qian was naturally tied to the horse again.
As soon as he climbed onto the horse, Chang Qian felt hungry.
I couldn't help but regret why I didn't just suppress my nausea and eat some.
Immediately, the team set off and the horse started running. Chang Qian was once again tossed like a small boat rising and falling in the river.
Hewu County is different from Lingtong County.
Lingtong County is surrounded by plains. It is precisely because the ground is flat that rivers can be dug to divert water and the wilderness can be improved into farmland.
If the ground was not flat and the area was large enough, it would not be worth carrying out such a large project.
Hewu County is mountainous, with several higher peaks reaching hundreds of meters.
In addition, the hills are undulating and of varying heights.
There are ravines and hills everywhere. It is not easy to ambush a large army in such terrain, but if there is only a team of hundreds or dozens of people, they can hide anywhere. You will not be able to see it unless you get closer, so even if He Wu
There are many troops and horses in the county, and it is difficult to find them even if they are scattered.
What's more, Hewu County is poor and there are not many guards and soldiers at all.
It is precisely because of this that Hewu County is often harassed by horse bandits and foreign teams.
There are bandit dens in several larger mountain peaks.
However, Hewu County did not have the ability to encircle and suppress them.
And if there is an attack by the imperial army, these horse bandits are well-informed and can easily hide within the boundaries of Hewu County after going down the mountain.
The imperial army could not find anyone and could only return without success.
Hewu County is plagued by bandits, so many people would rather not be officials than work here.
The county magistrate of Hewu County is named He Ming, and he is not even a civil servant.
He was originally not qualified to be a county magistrate, but he was recommended by others.
Those who recommend him have a grudge against him!
No one wants to work here as an official, and the reason is simple.
Hewu County is very poor. Not only is there no benefit to be gained from working here, but horse bandits and foreign troops often come to burn, kill and loot, which will bring disasters from the sky. People will be killed and injured. The court will investigate and punish them, ranging from dismissal from office to exile.
