Chapter 512 Competing in the Central Plains (Forty)
Yan Gong 310 five years summer (525 years)
Huang County
With flags covering the sun, war drums bursting, voices of people and horses beeping, an army of 5000 men is coming ashore.

Half a year ago, due to her inability to suppress the rebels, the Empress Dowager Hu of Wei State decided to "borrow captives to suppress the bandits" and dispatched troops from Rouran, Khitan, Kumoxi, and Yan to the Central Plains to quell the rebels.

Rouran wiped out the rebels in Monan, Khitan wiped out the rebels in Youzhou and Yanzhou, Kumoxi wiped out the rebels in Pingzhou and Anzhou, and Yan State wiped out the rebels in Guangzhou and Qingzhou.

A few years ago, because of the outbreak of the rebellion, the State of Wei canceled the Liao pay to the State of Yan.

Today, in order to allow many foreign soldiers to suppress the rebellion, the Wei State allows various anti-rebellion troops to plunder at will as a reward for suppressing the rebellion.

Yan Lian, the female monarch of the Yan Kingdom, personally led the army, and brought a thousand Yan Kingdom Guards, two thousand noble soldiers, and two thousand guild soldiers, a total of [-] troops, to the Donglai area.

They performed a simple integration here, and then Yan Lian gave a lecture to many soldiers: "All soldiers must obey Gu's orders, and those who disobey the military orders will be executed."

"Only the king is obedient!" Several nobles echoed.

"Only the king is obedient!" A group of soldiers also shouted loudly.

Even the various guilds were allowed to enter the Central Plains to participate in the war together, which was regarded as Yan Lian's compensation for them.

The court of Yan State and the guild are not in a life-and-death relationship. As long as the guild does not rebel and is willing to obediently pay taxes and donate money, the court of Yan State is still happy to lead them to fight and plunder everywhere to make money together.

"I will follow the method of our ancestor Wang Taihao to record points for the warriors in the war. Using the points, they can be exchanged for beauties, wealth, and status, and capture people, plunder supplies, kill enemies, charge into battle, and even do daily coolies. You can earn points for your work.”

"During the war, it is forbidden to act without authorization, to leave the army without authorization to conduct looting activities, and to delay military operations for the sake of adultery."

"During the rest time, the orphan will prepare interesting activities for you to rape, kill, and plunder."

Yan Lian encouraged the soldiers.

What is national righteousness, what is for the sake of the common people, it is too false to say these things in this era, the soldiers of this era do not understand these, they only understand women and wealth.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The morale of the soldiers is high, and they can't wait to rob.

Last year, during the Northern Expedition of Liang State, they burned, killed, looted in Huaibei, and when Wei State counterattacked, burned, killed, and looted in Huainan. Some rebels also took the opportunity to burn, kill, and loot.

It may be that the details of the war have not been described in detail for too long, which has led some people to mistakenly believe that the war is only a matter of the army, and it seems that it has never had anything to do with the people.

However, the fact is that whether it is the Southern Expedition or the Northern Expedition, they will burn, kill and loot along the way, and occasionally slaughter a few cities to boost morale.

Yan Lian is also a person of this era, she has not surpassed this era, so her actions are in line with the characteristics of this era.

After hundreds of years, the army of King Yan's family finally stepped into the Central Plains again.

Yan Lian was not interested in attacking the cities. Those cities were too strong, and it would take a lot of time and manpower to conquer them.

"Every 100 people is a raiding team, and each raiding team has one captain and two small captains. After the reorganization is completed, they will disperse and go to various rural villages to loot."

"During this process, you can slaughter, rape, and plunder at will. These are your freedoms, but I hope that you can bring the spoils back here. Only by bringing the spoils back can I record points for you."

Yan Lian began to allocate 5000 troops, leaving only [-] imperial guards to guard the base camp and guard the spoils. The other [-] noble soldiers and [-] guild soldiers were all scattered to various villages to plunder at will.

As for helping the suzerain state Wei to destroy the rebels?

Haha, Yan Lian is not interested in this.

After two hours of training, the [-] soldiers were divided into forty raiding teams and scattered to Guangzhou and Qingzhou for raiding.

In order to facilitate the looting, and there is no shortage of horses in the country of Yan, all the 4000 people responsible for the looting are light cavalry, and only the thousand guards who are responsible for guarding the spoils are equipped cavalry.

……

ten days later

Jimo City

a village outside the city
A light cavalry raiding team of 100 people came here, and the captain said to a young man kneeling on the ground: "Go in and tell those villagers that as long as they pay a reasonable burden, that is, donate forty fertile women, Ten cows, fifty bolts of cloth, and a cart of grain, we can let them go, otherwise, no one will be spared!"

The young man's name was Hou Jing. He knelt on the ground and trembled, and respectfully said to the captain of the guild's raiding team: "The villain will definitely make those unruly people hand over their belongings obediently. Please rest assured."

He was originally a military household in Huaishuo Town, but because of the reform of the Sinicization of the imperial court and the implementation of the aristocratic family system, he lost his upward path, and the farmland allocated by the imperial court was annexed by unscrupulous military officers, making them soldiers who defend the country Hu gradually became a soldier slave who drank the blood of soldiers.

With the outbreak of the Six Towns Uprising, Hou Jing also joined the rebel army, but the rebel army was defeated by a handsome man named Er Zhurong not long ago, so he ran to the territory of Guangzhou and became a bandit. He became a bandit and became the umbrella of the village.

Originally, today I was going to the village to collect protection fees and spoil a young girl by the way, but I ran into the robbery team of Yan State and was blackmailed by Yan State.

"En." The team leader nodded and asked Hou Jing to handle the matter.

This is the rule set by Yan Lian. For the villages that voluntarily pay a reasonable burden, don’t make things difficult and give them a way out. This is called sustainable development. It is convenient to collect protection fees in the future. After all, if you kill them directly, you will come to collect protection fees later. There will be more intense resistance.

Only for those who are stubborn and would rather fight Yan Guo to the death than obediently pay a reasonable burden, then there is no need to show mercy and directly slaughter the village.

"Before slaughtering the village, I informed the villagers in advance that there is no more benevolent monarch than me in the world. After all, the monarchs of the Central Plains slaughter whenever they want, and they don't even bother to greet their subjects." Yan Lian thought that she and the Central Plains Compared with those princes and princes, they can be regarded as very benevolent in governing and loving the people.

When Hou Jing entered the village, all the villagers looked at him in fear, and the girls all hid in their boudoirs and dared not come out.

After all, Hou Jing has been the most famous bandit in this area for more than half a year, and he has defeated several invincible copycats.

"Master Hou, haven't you already collected money this month? And the girl Ahua in our village has also been favored by you, so why..." The village elder was very nervous, for fear of offending Hou Jing.

"It's not that I want to come, it's that the country of Yan is coming. The military master of the country of Yan issued an order that all the people in Guangzhou and Qingzhou must pay reasonable burdens to the country of Yan. Those who don't pay will not be left behind!" Hou Jing said to these people The villagers will not have a good face.

"But we are the people of the State of Wei, why should we pay taxes to the State of Yan?" The old man regarded this reasonable burden as a tax, but he didn't understand why the army of the State of Yan came to the State of Wei to collect taxes?
