Iron blood Suiming

Li Jianguo didn't bother to discuss how they discussed, and ordered someone to call the family members of County Magistrate Zhang to collect the body.At this time, he wanted to stabilize this group of gentry, but it was not easy to wipe out the family members of County Magistrate Zhang.

The family members went to collect the corpse, weeping. Although there were some people who kept looking at him with hatred and trying to kill Li Jianguo mentally, Li Jianguo didn't care. These people posed no threat to him.

A group of arresters were also released, and this group of people who deserved to be killed were also sharp-eyed and cunning people. At this time, seeing that the magistrate Zhang was dead, all of them knelt in front of Li Jianguo, and they kept saying that they were willing to be loyal to Li Jianguo. My lord, I'm afraid there isn't even one loyal one.

Li Jianguo didn't take them seriously at this time, but it was of little use to keep them, so he waved his hand and let them go.All the arresters immediately laughed and said that although they changed masters, their jobs were finally saved.

The gentry were still discussing in low voices, and occasionally they lowered their voices and made a noise in a low voice. There were a few blushing and thick-necked people shouting in a low voice, but they dared not shout out.This group of guys without a conscience, who would let themselves suffer when they encountered something related to their own interests.

Li Jianguo was waiting impatiently, Hao Xi hurried over with a group of people, and said: "My lord, as expected, the bandits are pushing into the city wall, trying to steal the city at night. Team Feng Zheng is already guarding the city, let the little one come to inform the adults."

When Li Jianguo heard this, he nodded and said, "You look at them here, I will go and have a look." Abandoning the gentry who were still arguing, he went to the city gate.

It turned out that Hao Xi and Feng Guoyong never went to copy the homes of the gentry. Li Jianguo had already quietly told Hao Xi that he was going to play a play.Just now he apparently asked Hao Xi to join Feng Guoyong to ransack the house, but in fact he asked Hao Xi to inform Feng Guoyong that the bandits might sneak up on them at night, so he asked him to go up to the tower to check and report if there is any enemy information.

But in his prediction, the best time to attack should be around dawn. He didn't expect that the gangsters were impatient. Just after dark for a while, the gangsters sneaked in.

After reaching the tower, Feng Guoyong greeted him, "My lord, just now the bandits forced their way into the city wall, and my subordinates ordered to release a round of rockets. Seeing that we were prepared, the bandits retreated."

Li Kaiguo opened his eyes, and sure enough, there were more than a hundred burning arrows sticking out of the arrows outside the city wall, and there were several shot dead bodies.

In the distance where the rockets couldn't reach, there were vague and chaotic voices of the bandits, and suddenly someone shouted and cursed loudly, followed by several screams.

Li Jianguo thought: "Could it be that the bandits are fighting among themselves?" He guessed right, in fact it was so.

There were not many real water bandits in this group of gangsters. During the battle during the daytime siege, Li Jianguo picked up real water bandits and shot them. After the war, the gangsters were counted, and there were only sixty or seventy old brothers left. , Even the second head of the family was shot through the chest by Li Jianguo, and the rest were rioters under threat.

This caused the bandits to lose nearly half of their combat power at once.They also all know that the coerced rioters have no fighting power.Originally, their more than 100 elite soldiers still had some hope of attacking the city, but now there are only half of their elite soldiers left, so it is impossible to even think about attacking the city.

If it wasn't for the bandit leader's strong restraint, saying that there is still hope for a sneak attack at night, and promising a bunch of beautiful visions of burning, killing, looting, and living happily after capturing the city, they would have withdrawn during the day.

Even so, the water bandits are not united.The third leader has long been dissatisfied with the bandit leader, so he did not agree to wait until night to attack the county, because they did not bring much food.

But after all, the bandit leader's prestige is much greater, he insists on stealing the city at night, and he has been in charge for a long time, the third leader is almost far behind him in terms of tongue.After the big brother of the bandit chief's eyebrows smoldered, all the water bandits were basically fooled into sensuality, so the third leader couldn't help himself, so he could only agree.

Originally, the bandit leader wanted to wait until dawn before making a sneak attack, but all the water bandits got their brains out, screaming and stealing the city just after dark. He pressed and pressed, but he couldn't hold it anymore. Coupled with the secret tricks of the third master, they had no choice but to attack early.

But they didn't expect that Li Jianguo had known for a long time that these gangsters were lingering, there must be tricks, and most of them wanted to steal the city at night, so he sent Feng Guoyong to patrol the city and used the right person.

Feng Guo has rich experience and knows that the most dangerous thing for the defenders is that they cannot see the enemy clearly, so he prepared more rockets and ordered people to use listening tanks to monitor the sound.Sure enough, the bandits were lax in discipline, and when they were far away, human voices could be heard from afar.Even if you don't need to listen to the tank, you can hear it with your ears.

After hearing that the bandits were within a stone's throw away, Feng Guoyong immediately ordered the rockets to be fired. Caught off guard, a few bandits were unlucky enough to be shot to death by the rockets. In addition, there were rocket lights everywhere, and the bandits Their plan to steal the city at night failed completely.

This time the bandit leader could no longer hold back the water bandits, the third leader took the opportunity to attack, and wanted to be in power, but the bandit leader was vicious, and seeing something bad, he drew his sword and killed the third leader, quelling the rebellion.

But after this incident, all the water bandits were discouraged. Seeing that it was impossible to attack the city, they had to go to the villages to grab some food before making any calculations.

Li Jianguo listened carefully, only to hear that the bandits were gradually moving away.Feng Guo listened for a while with the listening tank, then stood up and said, "My lord, the bandits have retreated."

Li Jianguo nodded and said, "Don't be careless, be careful that they return again."

How could Feng Guoyong not know that the bandits would never come back.But Li Jianguo said to be careful, he didn't dare to answer, and said: "What your lord said is, it's just the corpses under the city..." He said with embarrassment.

"What happened to the corpse?" Li Kaiguo wondered.

"The weather is hot. I'm afraid the corpse will rot in tomorrow. I'm afraid there will be an epidemic." Feng Guoyong said carefully.

Li Jianguo sniffled, as if he could already smell the stench of the corpse.He shook his head and said: "Tomorrow is dawn, the city gate will be opened to collect the corpses. But the people are still not allowed to leave the city, and no one can be released without my official's order." He said these words severely, and Feng Guoyong expected I can understand.

Even if the bandits really retreated at this time, he would not be able to open the city gate.The timing of this city closure must be grasped properly. Only when he recruits good soldiers and builds his own team can he not be afraid of all the dangers that follow.

"This subordinate understands. Don't worry, my lord. This subordinate will guard the city gate in person. Without my lord's order, I don't want to leave the city alone." Feng Guoyong said in a deep voice.

Li Jianguo smiled slightly and said: "You are doing things, I am still at ease. You haven't eaten yet, so go pass a table of wine and food, and we will drink and defend the city on this tower. Tomorrow's conscription, I have some things to worry about." I want to ask you for advice."

Feng Guoyong didn't dare to shout, so he ordered someone to pass a banquet, and Li Jianguo really asked Feng Guoyong at the banquet how to recruit available soldiers.Feng Guoyong knew everything, and after three glasses of wine, when he talked about military affairs, his eyebrows were even brighter, and he almost became a madman.

Li Jianguo just listened with a smile. What he suspected at the beginning gradually became clear. This Feng Guoyong was indeed not a simple team leader. A team leader in a small county town would know so many military affairs.

But this matter is needless to say, Li Jianguo doesn't care about Feng Guoyong's previous experience, as long as he is loyal to Li Jianguo now.Judging from Feng Guoyong's performance in the past two days, he seems to be somewhat loyal to Li Jianguo.But Li Jianguo will not trust a person, it will take a long time to see people's hearts.

In this way, one talked and one listened until Dongfang turned pale and the wine and vegetables were scarce. Feng Guoyong finally fell drunk on the table. fell asleep.

After this sleep, he slept all morning and stayed in the middle of the day when Hao Xi ran up to the tower and yelled a few times before Li Jianguo woke up.This time he slept soundly, full of energy.Looking back, Feng Guoyong had disappeared, and asked, "Where is Captain Feng?"

Hao Xi picked up a food box and put the freshly made food and wine inside on the table, saying as he changed, "The bandits have all retreated. Team Feng is collecting the corpses outside the city. My lord, hurry up and have lunch, the county government office There are too many people who want to be soldiers, and they are all waiting for you to preside over them."

Li Jianguo smiled and said, "How many people are there?"

With a bitter face, Hao Xi said, "My lord's conditions are so good that almost all the people in the county have come."

Li Jianguo was amazed at this, he said while eating: "I only offer two taels of silver a month, and five taels of settling fee. Would such a condition be very good?"

This is why Li Jianguo did not understand the prices in Ming Dynasty. At this time, one tael of silver could buy two shi of rice. At that time, one shi of silver was about 94.4 kilograms, and one tael of silver could buy 188.8 kilograms of rice, which was 377.6 catties.As an adult, eating one catty a day is enough for one person for a year.

What's more, Li Jianguo gave five taels once, and there are two taels a month. It's no wonder that the common people are not crazy. Even if they know that they don't meet the requirements for conscription, they all come. What if they pass...

After Hao Xi's explanation, Li Jianguo realized that a tael of silver was so valuable. In his imagination, a tael of silver was nothing more than a meal.

After eating and drinking enough, Li Jianguo solved his physical problems again, and then he walked slowly to the county government office.Now that he knows that all the people in the county have come, he doesn't have to worry about the source of soldiers, he just needs to be careful.

Sure enough, they all came, it was a sea of ​​people, the common people crowded the road leading to the county government, the adults made the children cry, there were men, women and children, Hao Xi led a team of soldiers and squeezed again and again, and was unexpectedly crushed by the common people squeezed out.

Li Jianguo's face darkened immediately, he nainai, this group of money-greedy things dared to block his way for the sake of money, immediately swung the ghost crying sword, slammed it on the ground with a "bang", and roared: "Get out of the way for this official, whoever dares to block my way will be killed immediately."

As soon as he said this, the common people were stunned immediately, and some people shouted: "This is the murderer, everyone, get out of the way, he really knows how to kill." Make your way through the crowd.In the past three days, who doesn't know Li Jianguo's name as the murderous demon king, he will kill whoever he says, and he will never discount it.
