Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 259 The Great Wisdom

While Qin Wei was visiting the Qin family's mansion, a large ship was sailing away from Fushan Port fifty miles east of Fushan Port.

On the deck of the big ship, Snow Clothes stood quietly, frowning slightly, looking at the blue sky.

"My lord, everyone in Fukuyama City has been evacuated."

A burly man came behind her and reported.

"How much is the loss?" Snow Clothes Envoy asked.

"310 people were killed in battle, and 72 people were seriously injured." The burly man said.

This time in Fukuyama City's rebellion, more than 3000 people were mobilized in the Red Turban Rebellion. Compared with the entire population of Fukuyama City, 3000 people are nothing at all, but the inaction of the government and the poverty of ordinary people make Fukuyama City like a city. A powder keg is like a powder keg, as long as there is a little spark, it will explode.

More than 3000 red scarf thieves entered Fushan City, and immediately caused tens of thousands of poor people to riot.

It's not just poor people, there are also many street gangsters and martial artists who follow suit.

Anyway, there were only three thousand real red scarf thieves, but there were tens of thousands of rioters, causing the entire Fukuyama city to fall into chaos in just half an hour.

The Snow Clothes Envoy nodded slightly, not caring about the casualties, but instead asked, "What did those mysterious people do?"

"I don't know, they seem to have disappeared." The burly man said.

"Disappeared!" The Snow Clothes Envoy was slightly taken aback.

"Well, they all disappeared when we retreated." The burly man said.

"How did it disappear?" The envoy Xue Yi was very puzzled.

The Luowang members will naturally not disappear, they just all went to the Qin family, and with the Qin family's cover, they only need to change their clothes to become the guards of the Qin family.

Of course, if they searched carefully, they could still find the loopholes in the trap. After all, there were so many people in the trap, and there would inevitably be mistakes. But they were in a hurry to withdraw from Fushan City, so they didn't have time to search.

The burly man bowed his head and said: "Their whereabouts are very secretive, even more secretive than our actions."

Xue Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

"Forget it, let's go back and talk about it."

"This time our plan failed completely, and we must make a new plan after we go back."

"You leave a few people here, try to search for those people's traces, and find out their identities."

Because of the appearance of Zhao Gao and the others, she had to give up this plan. There are three mysterious Jizhao Realm powerhouses in Fushan City, how could she dare to do things in Fushan City, so after leaving the Nanjia mansion, she immediately ordered All retreat.

Although she was unwilling to do so, she was helpless.

However, she still wanted to find out the identity and origin of Zhao Gao and the others. She always felt that she would meet these people again in the future.

……

at the same time.

Outside Fukuyama City, a large army is slowly heading towards Fukuyama City.

As one of the four major islands of the Luofu Dynasty, Beiyuan Island is not small in size. It is 120 miles from east to west and [-] miles from north to south. There are [-] counties in three provinces and eighteen prefectures on it.And there is an army of martial arts stationed there.

The Shenwu Army is one of the four armies of the Luofu Dynasty, with a total of 30 soldiers, divided into five armies, front, back, left, and middle.

Among them, the nearest to Fukuyama Castle is the Shenwu Houjun.

There were red scarf thieves in Fushan City. After receiving the news, Liu Hua, the commander of the army after Shenwu, immediately led [-] elite troops to help.

Dutong is the official position of military commander in the Luofu Dynasty. He is the chief general of an army, with the commander in chief above him, and the generals, deputy generals and other generals below him.

Liu Hua is the capital of the army after the martial arts. He has [-] soldiers under his command, and his main duty is to guard the place.

At this moment, he looked at the devastated Fukuyama City, his eyes filled with coldness.

"These damned red scarf thieves!"

He used to hate the red scarf thief, because the red scarf thief is rebellious, and he is the military officer of the court.

Now he hated the red scarf even more, because the red scarf was causing trouble on his territory.

He doesn't care about the life and death of the people in Fushan City, what he cares about is only the censure of the court.

Although he would not lose his official position as the military commander of Empress Shenwu because of this, some reprimands were inevitable.

"Report, Lord Dutong, all the red scarf thieves in the city have escaped!"

A scout ran back from Fukuyama City to report.

"Yeah! I ran away!" Liu Hua was a little surprised, "Do you know why they ran away?"

According to the behavior of the red scarf thieves, after they occupy Fushan City, they will never retreat easily.

But now the red scarf thief actually ran away ahead of schedule!

"I don't know. It is said that they left the port by boat around early morning." The scout reported.

Hearing this, Liu Hua was thoughtful, and then his eyes lit up.

"You guys lead the team to the city and control all the dead people in the city!"

He said to the generals next to him.

A few generals were stunned, trying to control the dead?

How should this be controlled?

Seeing that a group of subordinates were so unwise, Liu Hua's expression darkened immediately, and he said: "A group of fools who have no brains, preserved the corpses of those dead people, and tied red scarves on them. They are our military exploits, understand? ?”

As soon as these words came out, the generals immediately understood.

"Master is wise!"

"Hurry up, when the general wants to write a memorial and report it to the court, he will say that we have taken back Fushan City after a battle! You will understand!"

"I will understand at the end!"

Seeing that they were finally smart for a while, Liu Hua nodded in satisfaction.

If the red scarf thief occupied Fushan City, he would inevitably be reprimanded.

But if he took back Fushan City from the red scarf thieves, not only would he not be reprimanded, but he would also be judged for his merits, and a reward would be indispensable.

As soon as he thought that he could get some rewards, his originally bad mood suddenly became better.

Lao Tzu is a genius!
Liu Hua walked towards Fushan City with a smile on his face.

……

In the following days, Fukuyama City gradually recovered from the disaster.

It's just that the arrival of the Empress Shenwu Army brought a lot of commotion to Fushan City. After entering the city, these soldiers neither disturbed the people nor sought out thieves. Instead, they robbed the corpses with the people.

Those corpses without relatives were fine, but they also snatched those corpses with relatives. After snatching the corpses back, they all gathered in the open space outside the city, cut off their heads, and pickled them with lime to prevent them from rotting.

Such actions made the people in the city extremely angry. For a while, the entire Fushan City was full of resentment and public opinion was boiling.

It's a pity that the common people dare not speak out.

When Qin Wei heard such things, he felt a little unbelievable.

Take the corpses of the dead people as military exploits!

Who is so clever to come up with this!
Inside the Qin family mansion.

Sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard, Qin Wei asked in surprise, "Who is the leader of the Empress Wu army?"

"Liu Hua, the son of the Liu family, a family of military generals in Luofu, has a cultivation level of the second level of congenital." Zhao Gao said sitting next to him.

The capital of the Luofu Dynasty is located in Nanqing Island, and the Luofu Dynasty Hall is controlled by a very wealthy family. The Emperor Luofu cannot be said to be a puppet, but his power is extremely low, and he is unable to compete with those wealthy families.

The army of the Luofu Dynasty was basically controlled by those powerful families in Kyoto. The local wealthy families like the Nan family and Qin family in Fushan City were far inferior to the wealthy families in Kyoto.

If the aristocratic families that controlled the court were first-rate aristocratic families, then the Nan family in Fushan City could be considered a second-rate aristocratic family at best, while the declining Qin family could only be regarded as a third-rate aristocratic family.

"Interesting, interesting!" Qin Wei laughed.

This Liu Hua is really interesting, he can come up with such a way.

Zhao Gao said flatly: "It's just a general who is a little bit smart."

"It's the cleverness that makes it interesting!" Qin Wei said.

Zhao Gao naturally looked down on people like Liu Hua, so he changed his voice and asked, "What should we do next?"

Qin Wei raised his head in surprise, and said, "Didn't you plan it long ago?"

Zhao Gao shook his head, "Although this servant has some plans in mind, it will take a long time, and it will probably take three to five years to complete."

It is not an easy thing to seek a dynasty.

Even if Zhao Gao was good at intrigue and trickery, he couldn't take down a dynasty easily.

What's more, the overall strength of the Luofu Dynasty far exceeds that of Luowang. No matter how good the strategy is, it will be useless if it does not have enough strength to implement it.

Qin Wei smiled, "What's the rush, just take your time."

"Let's take down Fushan City first, as long as we take down Fushan City, sooner or later the Luofu Dynasty will belong to me!"

He is not talking big, but has such confidence.

Perhaps Dali's strength is not weaker than the Luofu Dynasty now, but it won't take long for Dali's strength to surpass the Luofu Dynasty.

"When my son's official position comes down, let's make money first, and then talk about other things."

Qin Wei said.

Money is the foundation of everything.

If you want to seek a huge dynasty, you must have a strong army.

This is different from his situation in Dali back then, where he was the emperor's grandson and could legitimately inherit the throne.

And here, he can only rebel.

Since they want to rebel, it is natural to form a large army, so they can't send an army from Dali.Leaving aside the inconvenience of transportation, if he will be transferred from Dali, then his identity cannot be concealed, and the previous considerations will be meaningless.

"make money!"

Zhao Gao was slightly surprised, but then nodded, agreeing with Qin Wei's thoughts.

"When will the official position be appointed?" Qin Wei asked.

"It will probably take half a month." Zhao Gao said.

"Oh! Only half a month?" Qin Wei was a little surprised.

The prefect of a prefecture is not a petty official. In Dali, it is a fourth-rank official position or a fourth-rank official position. It must be proposed by the Ministry of Officials and can only be appointed after the approval of the cabinet.

In the Luofu Dynasty, the official position of the magistrate was similar, and logically speaking, it should also be appointed by the court.

Half a month is not enough to run back and forth from Fushan City to Luofu Kyoto.

"For 10 taels of silver, you only need to be admitted by the local government office." Zhao Gao said.

The Jinglue Yamen is the highest local government office in the Luofu Dynasty, in charge of the military and civil affairs of a province, similar to the collection of the Dusi Yamen and the Chief Secretary Yamen in Dali.

The key point is that the Luofu Dynasty did not have a supervisory office in the local area, and there was an inspector in the Dali area, while the Luofu Dynasty did not have any local supervisory agencies, and only the central court had the Yushitai.

With such a regulatory system, it is strange that the Luofu Dynasty was not in chaos.

It's just that Qin Wei didn't expect that the appointment of a magistrate only needs the approval of the yamen. For a while, Qin Wei didn't know what to say.

And it only needs 10 taels of silver, which is really cheap to open the door for cheap, so cheap.

"That son is waiting to take office!" Qin Wei could only say so.

……

Fushan City, inside the magistrate's yamen.

Liu Hua was sitting in the lobby of the government office with a happy face.

Ever since he thought of using the corpses of common people as military exploits, he has been in a good mood.

But something better was waiting for him.

"My lord, there is something that my subordinates don't know whether to say or not!"

A middle-aged man in Confucian shirt stood beside Liu Hua and said hesitantly.

"Speak if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say." Liu Hua said.

The man in the Confucian shirt chuckled and said, "My lord, the Nan family has been wiped out!"

"If you destroy the family, you will destroy the family. What do we care about?" Liu Hua said indifferently.

He was born in a wealthy family in Kyoto, and he didn't like such a wealthy family as the Nan family at all.

Although he had dealt with many people from the Nan family before, he never felt that he was the same type of people as the Nan family.

So he didn't care about the Nan family being wiped out.

"My lord, the property of the Nan family!" the man in the Confucian shirt said in a low voice.

Liu Hua stood up suddenly, and looked at the man in the Confucian shirt with surprise and joy.

"No one took those industries?"

"All the floating wealth of the Nan family was taken away, but the real estate, real estate, and minerals are all there!" said the man in Confucian shirt.

Liu Hua suddenly became excited.

oops.

The disaster in Fushan City not only gave him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but also gave him the opportunity to make a fortune.

The Nan family's property, among other things, those real estate properties alone are enough to make a fortune.

Suddenly, he straightened his expression and asked, "Where are the other families?"

The man in the Confucian shirt was slightly stunned.

Other families!

"The other families have not been wiped out!"

"Idiot, I brought the soldiers to rescue them, how could they not give me some benefits."

There was a greedy light in Liu Hua's eyes.

He didn't expect to make money before, but the man in the Confucian shirt reminded him that the Nan family's property can be taken over, so the other wealthy families in Fushan City should also contribute a little.

There are more than a dozen wealthy families, large and small, in Fushan City, and each family took out one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver, which is tens of millions.

"Go and invite those guys over, and say that my lord wants to discuss with them the defense of Fushan City." Liu Hua smiled sinisterly.

This is a good opportunity to make money!

To protect Fukuyama City, an army is indispensable, and to dispatch an army, food and grass are needed.

Without food and grass, how can we work hungry?

These local rich men in Fushan City have to spend 80 million taels of silver, otherwise this general will let them know what military chaos is.

Thinking of the white money, Liu Hua couldn't help laughing out loud.

As a child of a wealthy family, Liu Hua is not short of money, and as the commander of an army, Liu Hua is not short of money, but no one thinks there is too much money.

Liu Hua is also a person with ideals. He also wants to improve his cultivation base and his official position.

Improving his cultivation will consume resources, and those pills used in the innate realm are very precious. One piece costs hundreds of thousands, or even millions of taels of silver. Even if he is backed by a wealthy family, the family cannot give him a lot the elixir.

And to be promoted to an official position, it will cost more money.

Positions in the military are much more expensive than positions in government offices in various places, and they are also very sought-after.

A magistrate only needs 10 taels of silver, but a position as a governor costs a million taels.

It didn't cost Liu Hua any money to serve as the Empress of Martial Arts, it was given to him by the Liu family, but if he wanted to advance one step further, he had to rely on himself.

He had never thought of being promoted again before, because the Liu family would not be able to support him in a short period of time, but this time he came to Fushan City, he has both military exploits and a lot of money, so he can get promoted on his own.

If he can become the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army, then he will be one of the top figures in the entire Luofu Dynasty, and the family will all look up to him at that time.

But if you want to go further, you still need the support of the wealthy families in Fushan City.

Thinking of this, he began to plan how to get the rich family of Fushan City to take out their money obediently.
