I have a cornucopia

Chapter 309: Confused, if I kill you, all your money will be mine

The Nanguan city was opened without bloodshed.

Then Lingshi City was opened without bloodshed.

Then the North Gate of Lingshi continued to open the city without bloodshed.

The Queshu Valley Passage, which had experienced countless wars in history, was opened to Yang Feng in this way...

During this time he only fired one shot.

Lingshi and Lingshi North Pass, also known as Lengquan Pass, both came out in advance to welcome the royal army. The reason for their surrender was not entirely because of fear. Although they were indeed frightened by Yang Feng's notoriety and exaggerated cannons, the key reason was that Wu Sangui did not leave his main force in these three places for defense.

Wu Sangui's rule in Shanxi was similar to that of the Qing Dynasty.

The 300,000 people who migrated from Liaodong with him as the core served as his main crops. These people maintained 50,000 regular soldiers, similar to the Eight Banners Army. His family servants were equivalent to the Bayala Banner, and the local military households in Shanxi were reorganized into the Green Banner Army. Of course, due to financial constraints, Wu Sangui could only really support 50,000 regular soldiers. No matter how much he squeezed, he could only occupy three-fifths of Shanxi. Therefore, the Green Banner Army was a place to maintain public order, and the three fortresses in Lingshi were now all Green Banner Army.

Then they fight for nothing.

Wu Sangui himself doesn’t care, so is it worth it for them to risk their lives?
Therefore, Wu Sangui wanted to let Yang Feng enter the Jinzhong Plain, or even directly attack Taiyuan, forcing the Qing Dynasty to send troops to the Jinzhong Plain for a field battle. If they defended Lingshi to the death and blocked Yang Feng in the south, then the Qing Dynasty’s royal army would directly enter Taiyuan, forcing Wu Sangui to join them in the south for a decisive battle.

We must let Yang Feng surround Taiyuan.

It is obvious that Wu Sangui was very confident in his defense of Taiyuan.

Jiexiu.

King Yang was holding a telescope and standing next to the Invincible General Cannon aimed at the city wall.

In front of him was a middle-aged man in a scholar's robe, who was being dragged by his followers, still struggling and howling...

"My lord, my lord, we were all forced to do this. We were all forced to do this..."

His howl was mournful.

There was an open box of jewels where he had been kneeling before, shining brightly in the sun, and two retainers immediately went over to close the lid, then carried the jewels to the back. He was dragged to the place facing the city gate, and he didn't want to kneel down at first, but a retainer smashed his knee with a hammer, and he fell to his knees with a scream.

Then the executioner raised his sword and chopped off his neck. As his head fell to the ground, blood spurted toward the city gate in the sunlight.

"You were forced, he was forced, everyone was forced, forced to flatter the alien race, forced to sell out the country, forced to kill compatriots.

Do we also have to say in the end that we are forced to live in glory and wealth?

He was forced to do it.

For family, for clan, and for all kinds of things that are hard to give up.

But don’t those who serve their country loyally have things they are reluctant to give up?”

King Yang said.

This is the Jiexiu County Magistrate appointed by Wu Sangui. He wears a scholar's robe only because he was originally a tribute student. He dared not wear the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, so he had to put on the robe at the bottom of the box again. He went out of the city on behalf of the Jiexiu gentry headed by Fan Yongdou, and asked King Yang to pardon them with the box of jewelry as a gift. If King Yang is willing to forgive them, they are willing to offer King Yang another 300,000 taels of silver to reward the army. Of course, they have a small request, that is, the city is too small to accommodate the heavenly soldiers, so please ask the heavenly soldiers to stay outside the city temporarily, and of course there will be no shortage of wine and meat for the heavenly soldiers. In addition, the Jiexiu militia under the control of the Fan family and other gentry are also willing to serve the country and send a thousand people to follow the king to attack Taiyuan together. The Jiexiu gentry will also summon some young and strong people to transport military supplies for King Yang.

It can be said that meticulous care was provided to King Yang and the heavenly soldiers.

There are even two beautiful girls in the sedan chair next to it!

They are all very juicy.

They have raised it for more than ten years and were reluctant to taste it, so now they bring it to honor King Yang.

But it's of no use.

King Yang didn't even give them a chance to pledge their allegiance.

"Three hundred thousand taels, foolish! Even if I kill you all, the silver will still be mine."

King Yang looked at Jiexiu City as if he was possessed by Duoduo.

Then he stepped back a few steps, and the soldiers around the cannon also retreated as fast as possible, quickly jumping into the trench that was one and a half meters deep. A soldier who stayed at the end lit the fuse at the end of the cannon, and then hurried into the trench. Everyone lay in the trench, sticking their heads out to watch the fuse burning, and the soldiers in the front formation were also watching with anticipation. The fuse quickly burned to the end and disappeared into the ignition hole at the end of the cannon. The next moment, there was a loud noise like the collapse of heaven and earth, accompanied by a terrifying flame spray from the muzzle. The huge shell flew out in an almost visible posture, and then turned into a fleeting black dot and disappeared in the sky.

Their position is still superior.

In fact, it is in a terraced field outside the city, from which you can see what is happening inside the city.

"one two Three……"

King Yang shouted while holding up a telescope.

As soon as he shouted eight, he saw through the telescope that half of the city wall had turned into countless rubble and was spraying backwards.

Then, on the main street of the city, among a group of militiamen who were mobilizing, half of the people at the street corner fell down, as if a 155mm artillery shell had fallen.

The shell broke.

This is the advantage of stone bullets.

If the landing point is hard enough, then the effect it will produce will be far greater than that of a shrapnel bomb. After all, due to casting technology issues, even if a shrapnel bomb explodes, there will not be many fragments. However, if a 200-kilogram stone hits a stone-paved street or a blue brick city wall at a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour, the amount of broken stones after it shatters will far exceed that of a shrapnel bomb.

As for power...

A stone weighing several kilograms hitting a person at a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour would be useless, let alone ordinary armor, even the bulletproof breastplate of the cuirassiers would be useless.

All the bones are shattered.

"Bang the drum, attack!"

Yang Feng roared and then jumped out of the trench.

Then, in the chaos of the artillery, he pulled out the special big sword that was inserted on the side, took a look at the chaos in the city, and rushed to the tractor next to him with this huge sword that looked like a game prop. Just as he jumped on the tractor, the war drums had already sounded, and the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately rushed to Jiexiu City. An attendant who had practiced for a long time drove the tractor and rushed directly into the soldiers. He quickly reached the front while the latter avoided him. King Yang stood on the roof of the tractor with the huge sword on his shoulder, holding a vertical pillar that was tied to him, just like Captain Sparrow holding the mast.

He also held up his huge sword to guide the direction of the charge for the soldiers behind him.

The tractor that rushed to the front quickly distanced itself from the soldiers behind it, and at the same time continued to spew out black smoke, as if riding on a black cloud, rushing straight towards the city gate on the land that had turned into a plain.

On the Jiexiu city wall.

"Quick, fire, quick, fire!"

Fan Yongdou, a famous imperial merchant of the Qing Dynasty, shouted in horror as he watched this scene.

He has made a fortune over the years.

After all, Jiexiu was the center of trade with Li Zicheng. All kinds of goods shipped from the south, especially salt, were shipped from here to the north, including to the Mongols. Although a large part of the profits went to Wu Sangui, the rest was still enough to make him rich enough to rival a country...

After all, Wu Sangui had to spend the money.

Most of his silver was hidden in the cellar in the city. So he was willing to use hundreds of thousands of taels to exchange for Yang Feng's pardon. In fact, a little more would be fine. As long as it could be exchanged for pardon, it would not be impossible to pay one million. But he did not expect that this monster would actually chop the county magistrate. He was not even given a chance to talk. In order to protect his wealth, he could only fight desperately. Although the defenders in the city were also the Green Flag Army, fortunately he still had his own militia. This militia was actually the armed guard of the caravan, and its combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the Green Flag Army.

beat!
Fight for the money behind!
A red cannon in front of him immediately aimed at Yang Feng's tractor.

"Bring it!"

Fan Yongdou glared with bloodshot eyes and snatched the torch from the soldier.

"Evil, die!"

He howled like a madman.

Then he poked the torch onto the fuse, and the lit fuse burned to the bottom instantly. With a deafening noise, the cannon retreated violently, and flames spurted out of the muzzle, but he stared with his eyes wide open and could not see where the shell fell.

"Master, the shot is too high!"

A soldier quickly explained, pointing to the soldier behind Yang Feng.

"Reload quickly!"

Fan Yongdou didn't notice anything unusual, he just looked at the tractor rushing forward and said anxiously.

Then he rushed towards another cannon.

The artillerymen behind him looked at each other and quickly cleaned the gun barrels to charge the gunpowder. Then one of them picked up a shell and placed it on the muzzle in a serious manner, but the several-pound shell fell into his sleeve at the same time. Another soldier who had been waiting for a long time caught the shell when it fell from under his clothes and quietly put it into the shell box. The Red Cannon, which was only loaded with powder but no shells, completed the loading in this way. Amid Fan Yongdou's howling, it fired at Yang Feng again...

Of course, there are also ones that are loaded with real shells.

But at this moment, most of the cannons firing on the city walls did not fire any shells.

The other artillerymen quickly realized the problem and quietly dropped their shells.

Fan Yongdou knew nothing about it. Although he was very good at accounting, he had no knowledge of cannons. Moreover, he had been walking around the cannons all the time, so he didn't notice the fake artillery after he left. As for the soldiers who saw it...

They were shooting at the mountains behind Yang Feng with turtledove guns!

As for the other gentry who were supervising the battle, they were also just staring at Yang Feng outside.

The soldiers fooled Master Fan just like the soldiers in the capital fooled Chongzhen in history. After all, they were not fools. Yang Feng's reputation had long been known to the world. King Yang knew magic, and the monsters outside also confirmed this. Now even Wu Sangui didn't care about Jiexiu. What was the point of them defending? King Yang was indeed notorious, but that was for Master. He was very good to ordinary people and soldiers. If that was the case, why would they risk their lives for Master? Just fool him for a while, so Master Fan didn't wake up until he saw Yang Feng rushing to the moat. He looked in amazement at the soldier in front of him who seemed to be aiming but the muzzle of the gun was obviously tilted upwards.

"Where are you going to hit, you bastard?"

He roared as if he was breaking down.

The latter turned around instantly, with the muzzle of the gun pointed at his forehead...

"Master Fan, where do you want me to fight?"

The soldier said.

Fan Yongdou suddenly woke up and looked at the gun muzzle opposite with embarrassment and horror.

"Hey, what's going on?"

On the tractor outside, Yang Feng, carrying a huge sword, said with interest.

"Brothers, we will not serve the Jian Lu as dogs anymore. We are all Ming people. Let's arrest these traitors and welcome the royal army!"

the soldier shouted.

There was chaos on the city wall. Both the Green Flag Army and the militia soldiers pointed their guns at the gentry who were supervising the battle. Fan Yongdou collapsed on the parapet. The next moment, there was another person next to him. He raised his head tremblingly and looked at the demon who was looking down at him. This demon made my Qing Dynasty unforgettable and even destroyed my prosperous era...

"Your Majesty, I am willing to offer one million taels, just to ask for your life!"

He turned around suddenly, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and howled.

"Stupid, if I kill you, all your silver will be mine!"

King Yang said.

Uh?
Fan Yongdou was stunned for a moment.

Such a simple truth, why didn't he think of it!
But Yang Feng looked at the soldiers.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go to their house. All the men have been chopped off, and the women have been divided among everyone. The goods have also been divided. Just leave the gold and silver for me. There are tens of thousands of brothers waiting outside. If you are local, even their houses will be divided. Hurry up, whoever grabs it will own it. If you go too late, the good things will be taken away by others first. Remember, except for the gold and silver, everything else will be divided."

Yang Feng shouted.

The soldiers howled excitedly in an instant. Like hungry wolves, they rushed to the horse path. In a blink of an eye, only the gentry were left on the city wall.

"What a simple young man."

King Yang sighed as he looked at the anxious faces.

The latter quickly split up under the city wall. Familiar with the environment, they could not wait to rush towards the mansions. Even some of those who were rushing to reinforce, after understanding what was happening, turned around without hesitation, hacked to death the officers who tried to stop them, and then rushed towards the mansions together.

After admiring the grand spectacle for a while, King Yang lowered his head.

"Are you feeling heartbroken?"

He looked at Fan Yongdou.

The latter looked at him with resentment.

"Don't worry, the heartache won't last long."

Yang Feng kindly comforted him.

At this time, the gentry on the city wall also woke up immediately and knelt down in an instant.

"Please spare my life, my king. Please spare my life. We were all forced to do this. We are willing to offer our property in exchange for our lives."

……

They were all crying and wailing.

At this time, the escort had already climbed up the city wall, then went down and opened the city gate. The soldiers outside rushed in and quickly took control of the city wall, pinned down these guys and tied them up. Those gentry cried like tearful people and were dragged by the escort like worms. Fan Yongdou remained silent, but looked at Yang Feng with resentment, as if he wanted to go down and accuse him and not let him go even if he became a ghost.

"Erect a row of flagpoles outside, sharpen the tops, and string them all up. From now on, all captured traitors will be treated in this way, and they will be strung up there to be eaten by birds."

Yang Feng said.

Then he walked down the city wall amid the wailing of the gentry.
