The people on the side quickly passed through the exploded buildings and entered the city directly.
When they encounter robbers, everyone rushes over and kills them on the spot.
On the other side, when they encountered a large group of bandits who came after hearing the news, the divine thunder soldiers on the side once again pulled the lead and threw the divine thunder over. There was a huge bang and a large scream, and a group of bandits were blown away.
Bodies flew everywhere.
In the house, the leader of the bandits, who was drunk and confused, thought that there was a thunder outside. He did not get up when he heard the noise, but turned around and hugged the concubine he had snatched away, and continued to sleep happily.
When the soldiers broke in, the gangster was killed before he even got up.
The concubine on the side let out a sharp scream and cowered aside.
The soldiers grabbed her, threw her aside to the house where the prisoners were kept, and then turned around and continued searching.
When Jiang Feng, the leader who had threatened Uncle Jiang San, was caught, Jiang Feng was still not quite sober after being drunk, as if he didn't know what was going on.
Jiang Hexi had Jiang Feng tied up, then brought a basin of water and poured it over Jiang Feng.
When Jiang Feng woke up, he saw that he had become a prisoner and saw a gleaming knife pointed at his neck. He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Jiang Hexi took advantage of the situation to hold on to his life and said to the bandits outside, "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The remaining bandits saw that several of their leaders were either captured or killed. At this time, they were also in a state of confusion. They didn't say anything at this time, so they hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
In order to reduce casualties, Jiang Hexi asked the gangsters to drop their weapons, raise their hands, and let the soldiers go and tie them up.
Because the divine thunder cleared the way, this surprise attack went very smoothly. Only a dozen soldiers were injured and no one was injured.
After the culprits are killed, the next step is to search for the culprits' belongings.
This group of desert bandits were indeed extremely wealthy. Taking advantage of the terrain and horses, they moved up and down the desert like the wind, burning, killing, and looting a lot.
In the gangster's dungeon, dozens of prisoners were imprisoned. Among these prisoners were old people, children, women and children.
There were more women, but they were all tortured so much that it gave people chills just to look at them.
When women fall into the hands of vicious gangsters, they can only become their playthings.
Jiang Hexi couldn't bear to see it and asked the soldiers to take them to a separate room. The female soldiers would check the women's health and distribute treatment medicines.
The female soldiers in the village were led by Jiang Hexi's maid Da Ya, who led about twenty strong women from the village. This time more than ten people came, which came in handy at this time.
After visiting the prisoners, Jiang Hexi, led by Uncle Jiang and Second Brother Jiang, went to the gangster's private treasury.
After seeing clearly the gangster's private inventory, Jiang Hexi couldn't help but widen her eyes.
In the gangster's private treasury, there were more than ten boxes of gold and silver treasures and more than twenty boxes of silk and satin.
In addition to these valuable items, what surprised Jiang Hexi the most were more than thirty boxes of cotton cloth and more than twenty carts of grain.
Jiang Hexi was short of food, and now he suddenly had so much food. It was an unexpected surprise.
Now, winter is getting closer and closer. The villagers are living in tents. It is actually getting colder and colder. They are looking at having no place to spend the winter. Now they have a good thing delivered to their doorsteps.
Immediately, Jiang Hexi sent Brother Jiang and a group of soldiers to go directly back to pick up the villagers to live in the small town. On the other hand, she also asked people to clean up the bodies of the gangsters in the small town and prepare to build and strengthen the small town.
This small town is next to a small lake with luxuriant water and grass, making it very suitable for villagers to live.
After working hard all night, Jiang Hexi had people lock the warehouse after completing the inventory, and then began to reward the soldiers.
She asked the people in the cooking class to provide food and start cooking.
The food this time was enough, including rice, noodles and meat. Her purpose was to let these people know that by working with her, Jiang Hexi, they could live a life of food, clothing and meat.
At this time, everyone in the village was frightened and waiting for news.
Although we know that to survive in troubled times, we must have our own armed forces, the first time the villagers went out to suppress bandits, everyone was frightened.
The villagers couldn't help but pray in all directions, hoping that everyone would return safely.
After waiting for five or six days, I saw Brother Jiang returning with a group of young men.
When Jiang Hexi and others were not seen, the expressions of the villagers suddenly changed.
Grandpa Jiang Er said in a trembling voice, "Er Wazi, where are they... where are they?"
Second Brother Jiang said hurriedly, "Second Grandpa, don't worry, everyone is fine. The suppression of the bandits this time went very smoothly. Our large force is in the small town built by the bandits! My eldest sister asked us to come back and take everyone over for the winter."
After hearing this, the villagers who were tense at first relaxed.
Next, everyone couldn't help but ask about the details, and they became even more happy when they knew that there were no casualties among them.
Next, it’s time to migrate again.
After the villagers moved here, they lived by the tents they built. The only valuable things must have been the livestock they raised.
The villagers packed up every chopstick and bowl at home, and decided to move early the next morning.
This time, I don’t know how long I can live in the new place.
And is the new place suitable for living?
Our ancestors were originally from the capital, and our own family was once a prominent family in the capital. As the older generation, why don't Grandpa Jiang Er and others want to go back to the capital?
It's just that he was demoted to this day and was lucky not to be captured as a military slave. It is not easy to be able to live peacefully as a civilian in the border area until now.
The next day, when leaving the new village, Grandpa Jiang Er, Jiang Lizheng and others looked at the icebergs in the distance, and then at the endless land beyond the Great Wall, and murmured, "I don't know what we old bones will be like in our lifetimes."
, we can’t go back to the capital and look at that piece of land in the capital!”
Jiang Lizheng sighed and said, "As long as you can live well, you will be alive wherever you are!"
Next, after five or six days, all the old, weak, women and children in the village came to the small town.
At this time, the name of the small town had been changed by Jiang Hexi, and a new plaque was hung, called "Zhuifeng".
Seeing the tribesmen coming, Jiang Hexi asked the patrolling soldiers below to open the gate of the small town.
After Li Zheng and others walked in, they were shocked when they saw the whole town.
"This place is indeed better than our village."
In front of this small town is an oasis and a small lake. You don't have to worry about the cattle, sheep and horses having no grass to eat, and you don't have to worry about the people having no water to drink.
However, compared to the wilderness outside the Great Wall, where no one is seen within ten miles, the prosperity of the capital city is better after all.
Jiang Lizheng sighed and covered up his melancholy.
Jiang Lizheng and Grandpa Jiang Er both studied in clan schools in their early years. Jiang Lizheng, in particular, was a scholar in the past and had been the village leader before. He was very good at managing internal affairs. Jiang Hexi immediately handed over the internal affairs of the small town.
Two people.
Jiang Hexi proclaimed himself the city lord, and Jiang Lizheng was the second city lord.
In this small town, many affairs need to be dealt with, and various people's livelihood matters need to be arranged. After Jiang Lizheng came, he helped Jiang Hexi a lot.
At this time, Uncle Jiang came to Jiang Hexi and said, "Clan Chief, there are two important matters that need to be dealt with now."
"Which two?"
"One is how to deal with the people captured by the desert bandits now? And what to do with the remaining bandits? The other thing is to reward the soldiers."
Before the expedition, Jiang Hexi had made an agreement with the soldiers. According to the number of enemy heads killed, each bandit's head was worth two hundred copper coins, and the bandit leader was worth one tael of silver.
Based on the head count, everyone made a lot of money from this bandit suppression.
Jiang Hexi has already considered several issues.
At this time, she pondered for a moment and said, "Well, let's inform everyone that tomorrow, our reward ceremony will be held in the main square. At that time, the captured passers-by will also be allowed to come and watch the ceremony. After the ceremony,
Whether they stay or go, we let them do it."
"Yes, patriarch."
Sanshu Jiang got the word right and went down to give orders.
Jiang Hexi now has a small town and wants to lead her ethnic group to become stronger. At this time, she also has ideas.
After Uncle Jiang left, Jiang Hexi said to Jiang Lizheng, "Grandpa Lizheng, if our town wants to become strong, we must make official positions more concrete. I would like to ask Grandpa Lizheng to correct me on this point."
Jiang Lizheng nodded and said, "A small town like ours can just follow a county's governance plan and official allocation plan."
Jiang Li was talking specifically about some official positions that needed to handle internal and external affairs, and Jiang Hexi nodded repeatedly.
Early the next morning, the first reward meeting of the Fengchai clan began.
When Jiang Hexi walked to the high platform for the first time, she felt a little special.
But after a while, it calmed down again.
She said, "The first reward meeting of our Wind-Chasing Clan has officially begun. Now, start distributing copper coins."
She took the list beside her and began to read it out.
"Jiang Dabao, I killed five enemies and got a total of one tael of silver, fifty catties of rice and grain, five feet of cloth, etc."
Jiang DaBao walked up to the front desk happily and took the reward from Jiang Hexi.
On the side, people in the audience were filled with envy when they heard the reward.
"Oh, this is a lot of money. That's one tael of silver, and the fifty kilograms of rice in my hand. That's fine rice, and it's good stuff shipped from the south of the Yangtze River."
Thinking of the soft and glutinous rice, many people secretly swallowed a handful.
Jiang DaBao walked up to the front desk almost excitedly and went to receive his prize.
"Liang Dashan, kill four enemies and kill one leader, reward one to two to eight hundred copper coins, one hundred pieces of rice grain, and ten feet of cloth."
"Zhu Shitou, for killing three enemies, I will reward you with six hundred copper coins, thirty kilograms of rice grain, and four feet of cloth."
…
As the reward lists were announced one by one, both the soldiers who attacked the bandits and the prisoners who were rescued could not help but stare with wide eyes, reluctant to look away.
