Who dares to boldly set fire to it? Wouldn't it be a pity that such a good wealthy manor house was burned down like this? Even if Liu Qi's officers and soldiers cannot live in this manor house, it is still good for the hungry and cold people in the city to come here to escape the cold.
Liu Qi quickened his pace and said urgently: "Brother Wen, send someone to put out the fire quickly. The courtyard cannot be burned."
Chen Wen was puzzled: "Sir, this local tyrant and bully's village has been burned down. Why should we save it?"
Liu Qi said: "Brother Wen, how long will it take the people to build a farmhouse? We don't live in it. People who lack food and clothing can stay in it to avoid the cold. Especially the granaries cannot be burned. Go."
Chen Wen understood, blushed, and responded. He was impressed by the kindness of the young master Liu Qi, and led a few soldiers to rush to the inner courtyard to put out the fire.
Looking at the rich man's inner house with flames blazing into the sky, Liu Qi didn't understand why someone actually set a fire on a snowy day. Could it be that the rich man knew that the end was coming, so he set fire to the inner house without leaving anything for the officers and soldiers? Or was it because of chaos in the inner courtyard? And Chen Wu, who caught fire or succeeded, burned down the wealthy manor house in anger?
Chen Wen went to put out the fire, and Liu Qi walked calmly, thinking about why the fire suddenly broke out, when he saw a group of people pouring out of the inner house where the fire started. It was none other than the death squad led by Deng Zhi and Chen Wu.
With the firelight on his back, he saw Chen Wu running towards Liu Qi carrying a bloody head. There were many death squads of ten people around him, each carrying a head and following Chen Wu. He and Chen Wu stepped toward Liu Qi.
Seeing Chen Wen in a hurry, General Chen raised the head in his hand and laughed heartily: "Brother Wen, this bully has been slaughtered by me."
Chen Wen glanced at the bloody fat head and big ears in Chen Wu's hand and knew that Deng Zhi and Chen Wu had succeeded in assassinating the local tycoon leader. But at this time, Chen Wen was not concerned about the local tycoon leader's dog head, but who set the fire and what should happen. Put out the fire in the wind and snow.
"General Wu, did you set the fire?" Chen Wen understood the general idea as soon as he saw Chen Wu's expression.
"Yes, what's the matter? Let's burn this evil manor house. Kill those who deserve to be killed. The young master ordered those who refuse to die and destroy the family." Chen Wu said carelessly.
Chen Wen complained: "General Wu is confused. The evildoers will be killed, but the courtyard cannot be burned. You set the fire, and I will put out the fire. I will obey you."
Chen Wu disagreed: "Brother Wen, what are you talking about? Shouldn't this village courtyard be burned down? This local tyrant killed a hundred of my brothers."
"General Wu, I have no time to pay attention to you. You go talk to the young master." Chen Wen threw a word to Chen Wu and ran towards the fire.
"Just say it." Chen Wu looked at Chen Wen who was running away angrily. He heard from Chen Wen's tone that the young master Liu Qi meant to blame the arsonist, so he anxiously walked towards Liu Qi holding the rich man's head. .
Chen Wu hurriedly stepped in front of Liu Qi and threw the rich dog's head in front of Liu Qi: "Sir, I killed this dog's whole family and set fire to the yard. I wonder what other orders you have?" Then the ten-man suicide squad also killed ten bloody dogs. The heads of people were thrown into the snow, the situation was very horrific.
Sure enough, it was Chen Wu who set the fire. Although Liu Qi felt sorry for him, he would not blame Chen Wu for setting fire to a mansion belonging to a local tyrant and bully.
Chen Wu was Liu Qi's most capable general. It would be impossible to attack cities and plunder lakes in the future without such a general.
Liu Qi raised his hand to Chen Wu and said, "General Wu did a good job."
Chen Wu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Young Master praised me."
"General Wu, go quickly and cooperate with Brother Wen to put out the fire. This farmhouse will be left for the people to spend the winter." Liu Qi did not need to explain too much to Chen Wu, just one sentence was enough.
"Yes." Chen Wu also understood, his face couldn't help but blush, and he waved to the death squad, "Follow me." Then he hurriedly joined Chen Wen's fire-fighting team.
After Chen Wu left, Liu Qi had time to greet Deng Zhi. He bowed to Deng Zhi and said with enthusiasm and energy: "Brother Bo Miao, thank you for your hard work."
"My lord, the King's Sword has not hurt anyone, so I offer it to you after the sword is finished." Deng Zhi overheard the conversation between Liu Qi and Chen Wu, and realized that Liu Qi truly loved the people and had no second thoughts in his heart. He would not consider defecting after the year.
Pang Xi, a good scholar in Luoyang, followed the young master Liu Qi to conquer the world, just as the fortune teller Chang Yu predicted, sooner or later he would be granted a title of marquis and a general.
Seeing Deng Zhi's extraordinary bravery, Liu Qi became excited. He wanted to say some hypocritical words to win over the soldiers and presented the Goujian Sword to Deng Zhi who had made great achievements, but he was afraid that if Deng Zhi refused, he would not be able to take back what he said.
That's bad.
The Goujian Sword of the King of Yue is not something that ordinary people can hold. After going to Jiangling to steal the sword and killing four bronze-armored guards to steal the sword, how can the Goujian Sword be given away so easily? Even if Deng Zhi is willing to accept it, I am afraid that Chen
Wen also felt uncomfortable. In the past, Liu Qi pretended to present a sword to his master Huang Zhong because he learned that Huang Zhong had personally gone to Jiangling to steal the sword for Liu Qi before he performed the scene of presenting the sword to his master. This was because Liu Qi had determined that the loyal Huang Zhong would not accept it.
.
Liu Qi took the Goujian Sword and saw that the sword was still dazzling with cold light and no blood stains. He knew that Deng Zhi had raised the Goujian Sword but did not easily use the King's Sword to kill people. Liu Qi sighed, this sword is good, it can inspire soldiers and bring guidance to the sword owner.
Good luck, it is really a rare and good sword in the world.
Due to the large number of people and the strength, Chen Wen commanded 200 armored soldiers and a thousand monkey soldiers to put out the fire. He also mobilized the servants who had surrendered and knelt. The servants who were spared from death showed their loyalty after surrendering and put out the fire naturally.
Many servants even bravely took off their robes and waved their hands to fight the fire. Several servants who threw themselves into the fire were lucky enough to come out of the fire alive.
In the courtyard of the wealthy manor, while putting out the fire and setting up defenses, Liu Qi quickly took control of the courtyard of the wealthy manor. The weather was good, and the snowy night cleared up in the early morning. The north wind subsided and the snow stopped. The fire burned a small part of the manor.
It was put out by everyone. Fortunately, the granary was not burned down, and the food and grass for the winter were finally available.
The local tyrant leader was dead and his whole family was wiped out. Naturally, the local tyrant's mansion was put in order early in the morning when the heavy snow cleared.
Liu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he could capture one rich manor, he could capture the second or third manor. Taking advantage of the heavy snow to clear up and strike while the iron was hot, Liu Qi worked hard to use these monkey soldiers to defeat the other two manor houses.
The farmyard has been tidied up.
Liu Qi put the Goujian sword into its sheath, and some soldiers led Liu Qi to several tall horses from the rich man's stable. Chen Wen, Chen Wu and Deng Zhi rode the horses around the rich manor's courtyard, and gained a lot.
Not to mention gold and silver treasures, there are dozens of rice warehouses, enough to feed the people of Xinye for a while.
With food in hand and no panic in their hearts, the four military men circled the wealthy manor's courtyard and returned to the east suspension bridge. Facing the morning sun after the wind calmed down and the snow had subsided, they began to organize their troops, preparing to defeat them with officers and soldiers.
The official power of the local tycoon was widely publicized, hoping to shock the other two villages and recruit peace, and to defeat the enemy without a fight.
The soldiers in Liu Qi's hands will come in handy in the future. Liu Qi doesn't want the soldiers to be defeated before they can compete with the three giants of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. These soldiers who share life and death with Liu Qi are the future
What is Liu Qi’s precious treasure in fighting for hegemony in the world?
Without a moment's delay, Liu Qi immediately ordered Chen Wen to take over the surrendered village soldiers and some of the stronger tenants in the rich manor's courtyard, and immediately organized them into an army. Together with more than a thousand monkey soldiers, it was a night of bloody battles and a night of snow battles. Liu Qi's strength was great.
The number of soldiers under his command has increased to two thousand. If these soldiers and monkey soldiers are dragged onto the street, which rich man will dare to raise his head?
The wind and snow stopped, the sky cleared, and the remote village village was also captured. Liu Qi immediately ordered Deng Zhi to take 200 armored officers and soldiers to Echeng to block the main streets, and recruit the local tyrants from the Konbago Garden Village.
Under Chen Wu, nearly a thousand monkey soldiers were assigned to Chen Wen and the monkey generals, who were commanded by the monkey generals.
After reorganizing the army, Liu Qi ordered the heads of the local tycoon's family and eleven close relatives to be hung on long bamboo poles and paraded through the streets, and the corpses of five to six hundred villagers killed by officers and soldiers were dragged into dozens of carriages and paraded together.
, the slogan to show that the officers and soldiers suppressed the bandits was not for nothing. He said that the resisters would be exterminated, but he was serious about it. The message that the local tyrant leader was exterminated by the officers and soldiers was spread to the other two villages through parades.
Let the local tycoons in the other two villages surrender to the government.
Liu Qi was riding on a tall horse. The brave and clever little monkey would sit on Liu Qi's shoulders. Three big drums were beating rhythmically. A group of soldiers shouted in unison at the top of their lungs: "Fight the local tyrants, divide the fields, and divide the poor among the poor."
If you are rich, you will not be angry. Those who surrender to officers and soldiers to suppress bandits will be rewarded in life, while those who refuse will die and be exterminated."
When the people in Echeng City heard that the officers and soldiers had successfully suppressed the bandits, they opened their doors one after another and took the initiative to sweep away the snow in front of their doors to welcome the new county magistrate to suppress the bandits and bring peace to the people. When people saw the young master Liu Qi carrying a beautiful monkey on his shoulders and riding on a tall horse,
Someone with good intentions exclaimed that Xin Ye ordered Liu Qi to be granted the title of marquis immediately, and the people would be blessed. This caused the people in the city to kneel down and worship on the streets that had just been cleared of snow.
Immediately becoming a marquis was a big deal in ancient times. Especially if a prince could be found in a small place like Xinye, it meant that the feng shui of Xinye was good and the people of Xinye would be protected by the prince for generations to come.
The psychology of the people is the simplest. This sincere kneeling to welcome Liu Qi moved Liu Qi extremely. Needless to say, no matter which dynasty or generation, it is an unbreakable and eternal truth that those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world!
Even before the other two local tyrants' mansions were captured, they were already supported by the people. It seemed that the people had confidence in the officers and soldiers. Thinking of the common people's support behind him, Liu Qi no longer had much to worry about when attacking the other two local tyrants' mansions.
Seeing the people kneeling on the ground, Liu Qi did not dare to ride arrogantly on the street where the people were kneeling. He quickly jumped off the horse, raised his hands to the people who were kneeling to welcome him, and shouted: "Fellows and elders, Liu is not talented, please give me your respect."
The governor of Jingzhou has ordered us to go to Xinye to suppress the bandits and bring peace to the people. If I have offended or disturbed you, I hope you will forgive me and ask me, fellow villagers."
"Welcome to the County Magistrate Qingtian, and to welcome the young master." Chen Wen, who accompanied Liu Qi, led the people to shout at the right time.
The people worshiped him enthusiastically, and the shouts of the Qingtian County Magistrate resounded through the clouds.
So, Chen Wen shouted to the troops again: "Young master is mighty, a strong army will win." For a time, the sound of thousands of officers and soldiers shouting victory shook the whole land of Xinye.
The local tycoon leaders from the other two villas who had wanted to fight to the death with Liu Qi's officers and soldiers suddenly panicked. One of the tycoons named Zhang Ermazi set up a pergola on a high-rise building in the courtyard and saw the spectacular scene in Goose City.
The officers and soldiers, as well as a thousand elite monkey soldiers, saw the tall and handsome Xinye County Magistrate Liu Qi who was about to be enfeoffed. They took a breath of cold air and were embarrassed. The officers and soldiers came to the village to suppress the bandits and were about to confront the officers and soldiers.
