Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1281
The pirates with the flag of Linyi County Soldiers are starting to clean up the streets.

Zhan Ren, who died in the chaos last night, was beheaded, salted and stored in a warehouse. This can be used to repay meritorious service in the future.As for the headless corpses, they were carried out of the city, and the young and strong Zhan people were driven away to build a Beijing temple.

The soldiers of Linyi County, who controlled the whole city, began to hunt down the princes, nobles, officials, rich merchants and landlords in the Lion City, even the Brahman and Buddhist monks.

Under Li Shimin's repeated request to be polite and disciplined, these Linyi County soldiers, composed of pirates, craftsmen, buddies, Linyi Forbidden Army, etc., acted quickly.

He was indeed very polite. Before the search, he knew to knock on the door first, identify himself, and then produce an arrest warrant.If Zhan people are willing to cooperate honestly, they will not suffer. Of course, most Zhan people, when they encounter a knock on the door, will firmly hold the door to prevent people from entering.

"My fellow, open the door quickly!"

A few Zhanren who used to be the guards of Linyi were knocking hard on the door of a high-ranking official in Linyi. These Zhanren followed Zhang Peng and the others anyway, and most of them were Zhanren with mixed blood.Either the father is a Chinese merchant living in Lion City, or the mother is the daughter of a Chinese merchant in Lion City.

Because of his Han blood, Zhang Peng has a good relationship with them, and eventually he developed them and turned against them together.Right now, these mixed-race county soldiers are actively acting as guides.

No one at the door paid attention.

A pirate said impatiently, "Mother's toast, don't eat fine wine, knock on the door."

Immediately, someone lifted the wood, and someone simply started climbing over the wall.

Although the occupying officials in the courtyard led their servants and servants to resist to the death, how could they be their opponents.In two or three clicks, the door was knocked open.

A group of shield soldiers led the way, followed by spearmen and archers.

As soon as the door opened, there was a flurry of arrows.

Immediately, several occupants at the door fell down.

The shield soldiers raised their shields and slammed forward, and the spearmen behind them stabbed.

In an instant, the defense occupying the door was broken.

Bleeding all over the place.

The rest of the people fled in a hurry, and there were terrified shouts from inside the house.

"Abandon your weapons and surrender to avoid death!"

Several mixed-race county soldiers shouted in Zhan language.

When they broke open the door of the inner house, they saw the white-bearded Zhan official hacking his wives and concubines to death with a knife, and then killed himself.

A Zhan man tried to set the fire and was killed by an arrow.

The battle is over soon.

"There is no resistance."

"Search all the people first to prevent people from escaping, let alone setting fires, remember to check for secret rooms and tunnels, etc."

The leader of the pirate team who was leading the team began to have people interrogated who had been captured.

When he came in, he had already confirmed the identity of the owner of the house, and now what was going to be investigated was the number of people in the house, his identity, and the key point was where the money was hidden.

One by one interrogation, room by room search.

The gold and silver were found out quickly.

A businessman began to register with a pen. He is a businessman, and now he is also participating in the search and arrest, and is responsible for registering the confiscated items.

After the full trial was over, the loot was checked again. The officer stamped his fingerprints on the account book, and then left a few people to guard the prisoners and money, and then led the team to the next place to search.

The purge raid went on for several days.

In the past few days, although the Zhan people have resisted stubbornly, they have been like a mantis without exception.

Li Shimin had very strict control over the city defense streets. When he searched the upper and middle ranks of the Zhan people, he did not forget to call up the Zhan people at the bottom, distributed some food and rewarded them with some cloth, etc.

He even specially recruited 2000 people from among these Zhan people to form a new regiment.

All the Zhanren who were selected were young and strong, and each of them gave them home expenses, clothing, etc., and Li Shimin even generously distributed some of the Zhanren's houses that he had confiscated to those poor and homeless Zhanren.

Immediately afterwards, he also distributed the confiscated fields outside the Lion City to the county soldiers and Qin merchants in the city, and distributed some to the poor and Zhan people.

This is both hitting and pulling, and the effect is not bad.

The aristocratic officials of the upper and middle classes, powerful and wealthy businessmen were confiscated and searched, while the poor and poor at the bottom were still able to get some grain fields, and their living conditions were greatly improved. Loans from rich and powerful families, etc.

Some people were originally servants of noble officials and wealthy people of the Zhan people. Li Shimin also let them all be freed from their naturalization, and then naturalized them in Daqin Linyi County, becoming naturalized Qin people.

"It's really cheap, these people take over people, give them food and cloth, give them houses and fields." Someone said.

"If you want me to say, it would be great to capture all these Zhan people as slaves. One can be worth dozens of pens."

Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to these arguments.He knew very well that after all, this is the heart of the enemy country [-] miles away from Guangnan. Although it is necessary to eliminate hidden dangers, if all Zhan people are eliminated, there will only be a few thousand Qin people left, and a small number of people. Hu Shang, this city has become a dead city.

It is not appropriate to degrade them all as slaves. Thousands of people control tens of thousands of slaves, and problems will eventually arise.As it is now, clean up the upper class, get their money and fields, etc., and then give favor to those poor squatters, give them land and debt relief, etc., so that the smugglers will think of them, and he thinks that these squatters will cultivate the land in the future Farming, working and serving will also be more useful than slaves.

Even from his long-term plan, if he wants to make a difference here, then it is not enough to rely solely on the Qin people, and he must win some of the local Zhan people to his side.

Just like now, Li Shimin successfully recruited two thousand young and strong recruits from the bottom of the Cham tribe.

I added another regiment, and the accountant of this regiment, of course, obeyed him.

The city gate is now open during the day, and some merchant ships have already entered and exited one after another.

However, there are rumors that Prince Fan Touli has sent reinforcements to the north and is about to go south to retake the capital.

But Li Shimin didn't care too much. Now he has three regiments of 2000 soldiers and horses, not only more than [-] pirates who are proficient in naval warfare, but also the elephant army and cavalry of the former Linyi Imperial Guard led by Zhang Peng.

Sufficient food and grass, many soldiers and horses, there is a lion city to defend, and it is close to the sea and river, and there are warships to rely on. Li Shimin is not afraid of Lin Yi's counterattack at all.

What's more, under the pressure from the north, how many horses can the people of Linyi spare?

What Li Shimin is most worried about now is the reaction of the South China Sea Fleet, and what is worried about is the reaction of the court. He doesn't know how the court will deal with Lion City and how it will arrange Li Shimin.

What he is most worried about now is an order from the court to transfer him away.

Li Shimin has worked so hard to win the Lion City, but Li Shimin is not willing to make wedding clothes for others.
