please make me king

Chapter 254
Since Wei Congyi occupied Fangshan County, he knew that he could not stay here for long, nor could he defend it.He simply arrested the county officials and took them out one by one to behead them for public display. Firstly, he deterred the big gentry in the county, and secondly, he eliminated the possibility of reorganizing the county.

In the end, when it was the soldier's turn to kill the master, the master's face turned ashen, and he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, wait a moment! I see that your Majesty has great ambitions, but why do you want to kill a strong man before the world is settled?"

Wei Congyi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, looked at this lean and monkey-like master, and asked, "Who is your Excellency? How do you know that someone has great ambitions!"

The teacher stroked the sparse beard on his chin, raised his head and held his chest high and said: "Ma, a famous cloth, wrapped in words. He studied writing when he was young, but he didn't have any ambitions, so he worked as an assistant to support his family. Now he is in his fifties. There are so many bandits in the world, and I have seen one or two. However, Ma has never heard of someone like your Excellency who breaks through the county town without killing or looting, and is better than the generation of officers and soldiers."

"In the past, when Liu Bang entered the Three Qin Dynasty, he had nothing to take from wealth and goods, and women had no luck. This is not a small ambition. From this point of view, your Excellency also has the ambition to be in the world!"

Wei Congyi smiled strangely when he heard the words, and said, "If that's the case, then you won't be able to stay. Come on, take this person out and kill him slowly. You can't give him a good time!"

Master Ma couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! Somehow Ma offended the king for some reason and ended up like this? Die, please let the king let Ma die to understand!"

"A certain number is 'Xiao Yuchi', entrusted by the lord, to lead an army to conquer the capital, to welcome the lord to become the great treasure! As the leader of the army, he is already in a place of suspicion, how dare he claim to have great ambitions?"

"I'm afraid you think that I live too happily so that I can die without a place to bury you? If I don't kill you, won't I acquiesce to your words!"

"Ah?" Master Ma couldn't help sweating profusely when he heard the words, and felt that he was flattering himself and slapped the horse's legs.Fortunately, Master Ma is the best at observing words and expressions when he rolls and crawls half of his body.

Seeing Wei Congyi's expressionless face, there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his eyes, and he suddenly realized: Since this person is willing to talk to him so much, he definitely doesn't want to simply kill him, he just needs to find a suitable excuse for himself. Can live.

Thinking of this, Mr. Ma's spirit was lifted, and he quickly said: "Ma has made a slip of the tongue, and I ask the general to punish him. It's just that although Ma has no skills, at least he is quite proficient in documents. If the general can use Ma, please ask Take care of me, General."

"If the lord lacks aides, Ma can do it reluctantly. Ma is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright. Cough, abandon the bright and turn to your ministry!"

Wei Congyi originally wanted to get rid of this person directly, but just now he thought about it, a strong dragon will not overwhelm a snake, and he is a newcomer, and he still needs the cooperation of the local people to complete this great event.

Seeing that the master knew each other, he smiled and said: "In this case, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven! Come here, pull out the stick and hit ten times, as an example to others!"

The master couldn't help but turn pale when he heard the words, and hurriedly pleaded: "Ma is old and frail, so he can't bear such a staff blow, please general lighten it up!"

Wei Congyi didn't care about him, and directly ordered: "Hit!"

Master Ma's eyes darkened when he heard the words, and he said: "My life is over!" Never thought that the soldier took out a thumb branch and twitched it at his back.

It was drawn like a knife, and when it was struck, it was a bloodstain, which was even more painful.Fortunately, this wooden staff only hurt the flesh, not the muscles and bones.

Master Ma was hit ten times, his back was dripping with blood immediately, but he couldn't help smiling and said: "The general is benevolent, Ma's life is saved!"

"This matter has nothing to do with a certain person. It was originally a punishment method formulated by my lord. If you want to thank me, thank my lord!" Wei Congyi told the truth that he wanted to recruit this person, but he had always been familiar with military books and knew how to be a general. Those who are most taboo are suspected by the master, and they should avoid suspicion.

That Master Ma is just a small official, but he is an old man, and he has to look at Wei Congyi with admiration after hearing the words, and he also looks at the so-called "master".He thought to himself: Who can subdue such a person, maybe he can really do something, it is unknown!
Originally, he was just sycophating indiscriminately in order to survive, so as not to fall into the fate of his colleagues.It's just that if this is a thief, it will be difficult to turn around again, but now it seems that things have a turning point?
Thinking of this, Mr. Ma hurriedly found some herbal medicine, had someone rub it on his back indiscriminately, bandaged it, and then rushed over to obey Wei Congyi's order.

Wei Congyi knew that if he wanted to be powerful, he had to coerce the people.It just so happens that this master is familiar with the surrounding terrain and villages.Wei Congyi asked him to lead more than [-] soldiers, and went to the surrounding villages to pull strong men.

Wei Congyi himself was in charge of Fangshan County. He personally led people to search for food from house to house.

Zhang Shun would never do this kind of immoral thing, but Wei Congyi was originally from a military family, and he only talked about using soldiers powerfully, not benevolence, justice and morality.What's more, he has been in the rebel army for a long time, and he has learned this method to ten percent.

It's just that he was attached to others before, so it was inconvenient for him to act carelessly.Now that he was out of Zhang Shun's control, Zhang Shun never told him not to act like this, so he acted rashly, trying to make his momentum even bigger.

Fangshan County is not big, except for some tough bones, Wei Congyi only took over seven or eight hundred households. Unexpectedly, Master Ma was so skillful that he took over three or four hundred households by relying on the twenty or so soldiers in his hands.

There were five or six thousand people together, and Wei Congyi couldn't help but look at this person with admiration.Mr. Ma now knows the reality of Wei Congyi's subordinates, so he quickly offered advice to Wei Congyi: "General, it is advisable to put all the old and weak women and children into a battalion as hostages, and make Ding Zhuang into a team, and let the old soldiers lead them." , In this way, with one against ten, and ten against a hundred, the general can gain hundreds of thousands without any effort."

"Then make all the food, grass, gold and silver into luggage, and keep it with your confidantes. Whoever obeys my orders, the whole family will have food; those who don't obey the orders, the whole family will not be able to eat. Such a large army can be built, and the capital can be destroyed!"

Hearing this, Wei Congyi looked at Master Ma in surprise, and thought: I have been in the rebel army for a long time, and I am very skilled in the way, how could the master be so well-versed in this Taiping period?
But now it's time to employ people, Wei Congyi didn't dare to use this person's temperament, so he used it indiscriminately.If there is any problem in the follow-up, his own master will solve it, and he has nothing to worry about.
