Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 244 Man-made death for money

Chapter 249

She said weakly: "Quick... run, fast... run, Wei Jun..."

Xu didn't finish speaking, so he fell off the horse.

The woman quickly snatched a war horse, and she looked around for her three children.Suddenly, at the end of the land, a black torrent appeared, and countless flags slowly became clear.Although she was illiterate, she also knew that the black armored cavalry was the Great Wei Army!
Six or seven thousand Wei troops surrounded them in a fan shape from south, east, and west directions!Without her shouting, other Qiang people also found Wei Jun.

The entire Qiang garrison was guarded by only [-] cavalry. Of course, these young and strong cavalry were not guarding against the Wei army, but the army of the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei who might take advantage of the fire.

The Qiang people in the whole basin were in chaos all of a sudden, screaming in fear, bumping around like headless goshawks, countless old and weak women and children started to mount their horses and ran desperately to the north!
But, at this time, it's too late to run again!

The more than [-] Qiang people are young and strong, but they have a bit of courage. When they saw the Wei army attacking, they immediately reacted and charged the Wei army with knives, swords, guns, bows and arrows. They all hoped that, They can gain a little time and allow more clansmen to escape.

"Kill..." Shi Ning slashed his sword sharply, and shouted: "Slay in, rebel against Great Wei, leave no one behind!"

Thousands of horses are galloping, aggressive.Eight hundred poorly equipped Qiang cavalry, like a small wave in the sea, disappeared in a blink of an eye!

Fire, start to burn.

Blood, began to wet the earth!
Wei Guoyue's cavalry army was like a storm, dividing six or seven thousand Qiang people into dozens of pieces.

The horizontal knife in Shi Ning's hand slashed left and right, and there was no enemy in his hand.In just a quarter of an hour, the battle is over!

Shi Ning looked at the hundreds of Qiang people who fled in a hurry, but did not order to chase them. He needed someone to live and act as a messenger to let the nineteen rebels who were besieging Dingxiang City get the news that Shi Ning had arrived in Dingxiang!
"The general is mighty!" A small school came forward and complimented: "General, our army has completely won this battle. More than two thousand people were beheaded and more than four thousand people were captured." Shi Ning smiled and waved to the excited soldiers. He shouted: "Long live Great Wei, long live Your Majesty!"

The cavalry of the Wei army shouted in unison and cheered happily.

The battle lasted for a quarter of an hour, but it took more than an hour to clean the battlefield.

There is no way, too many were seized, only six or seven thousand Qiang people, but they had more than 20 cattle and sheep (horses), and of course the Han property they looted from the villages in Dingxiang!
Shi Ning ordered the messenger of the Yueqi Army to inform Zhao Xuan of Wei Guoyang Quling, and hired [-] peasants from Yangqu to Zhao Xuan in the form of [-] sheep to drive the cattle, sheep and horses away from Yangqu.And send [-] counties of national soldiers to send the remaining more than [-] cattle and sheep to Yecheng!

At the same time, after a brief rest, Shining's troops continued to advance, and then attacked the settlements of several Zahu, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Lushuihu and other tribes.

Within three days, eleven consecutive battles were launched, more than [-] people were beheaded, and a total of more than one million cattle, sheep and horses were captured.

At this time, the rebels of the nineteen tribes who were besieging Dingxiang City also got the news that their lair had been raided.The nomads themselves are in a state of disunity. For the sake of common interests, they temporarily unite. Once their own interests are involved, they completely ignore it!

At this time, the nineteen tribes rebelled against the Wei allied forces, and the alliance collapsed immediately.

On the way back to the army, the tribes were ambushed by Shi Ning again.

Shi Ning used the individual shovels that had been equipped with the Wei Army troops to set up a large number of horse traps. The nineteen rebels were defeated by Shi Ning.Among them, more than [-] people were killed, and more than [-] were captured. The entire Dingxiang Hu people's power almost disappeared.

Three days later, Ran Min in Yecheng was very excited when he received Shi Ning's battle report.Ordered the Menxia Province to draft an edict to promote General Shi Ning and Ningbei, and to supervise the military affairs of the three counties of Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Yanmen!
At this time, Ran Zhi also took out "An Huce".

There are several points in Ran Zhi's pacification assistance policy
One is to relocate 29 Han households to guard the border.Since the State of Wei adopted a large number of land-sharing policies, it has attracted a large influx of refugees.At this time, there were as many as [-] households in Wei County, with a population of nearly one million.In this way, together with the meritorious division of the Wei State and the seizure of land by the gentry, it has put a lot of pressure on Wei County. Fortunately, at this time, because of the war, there are too many unowned fields, otherwise it is really easy to cause trouble.

Moved [-] families of refugees to guard the border.The benefits are obvious. It not only increases the strength of the Han people in Dingxiang, but also relieves the pressure on Wei County.In order to encourage the refugees to voluntarily defend the border, they will always be loyal to Wei.On the basis of this policy, Ran Min put forward two additional clauses.As long as they voluntarily guard the border, each adult will be granted [-] mu of upper field, [-] mu of lower field, and [-] mu of middle field, a total of [-] mu.The ration Shiliu is given to each household with one head of farming cattle.Tax exemption in the first year, half tax in the next year, and one tax in the next year.

The second is to support pro-Wei forces and use barbarians to control barbarians.

Ran Min did not agree with this point, because he remembered what Ran Ming told him before he left, that the danger of the Han people always comes from the north, and the north must never be laissez-faire, and must always be tough.Ran Min rejected this policy, and changed it to all the Hu people who participated in the rebellion, all the leaders were killed, and the young and strong were escorted back to Jizhou to let them participate in coal mining!
When Ran Min said his proposal, it immediately caused an uproar in the court.People including Cui Yue, Liu Qun and others all objected, thinking that Ran Min had lost the benevolence and righteousness of the monarch, and Wei should be magnanimous, let the rebels go, give them food, pastures, and provide them with rest and recuperation.

However, for the first time, Ran Min resolutely carried out this decision regardless of the objections of the courtiers!
After half a month, Ran Ming's huge fleet left the Bohai Sea and arrived in the East China Sea.

Entering the East China Sea, Ran Ming obviously felt that there were more ships upstream on the sea surface. At first, Ran Ming didn't pay much attention to it, but Jie Fei, who was the admiral of the Jiaodong Kingdom, felt something was wrong.

"Your Highness, we may be being targeted by pirates." After pondering for a while, Xie Fei finally expressed his doubts.

But Ran Ming said with a smile: "General Xie is overwhelmed, our fleet has seven five-toothed warships, looking at the world, there is no problem walking sideways, mere pirates, why worry about it, I don't want to trouble them, They burned high incense, how could they throw moths into the fire and seek their own death?"

Ran Ming's reason sounds unreasonable, but Xie Fei's uneasiness in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, and there is nothing he can do about it.He couldn't persuade Ran Ming, so he secretly ordered the soldiers to strengthen their guard.

At sunset the next day, there was a strong wind on the sea, and the waves were very fast. Fortunately, the ships in Ran Ming's fleet were all large ships with a scale of seven or eight in later generations, so the impact was not too great.

Jie Fei suddenly said: "General, there seems to be someone calling for help on the sea?"

When Ran Ming heard it, it seemed that a big ship was tilting with visibility.The ship has a two-story rectangular building, and there are dozens of people on board calling for help: "Help, help!"

There were even cries of women and children.

Ran Ming thought for a while and said, "Come closer slowly, it's important to save people!"

After a while, the big ship sank, and there were densely packed human heads floating on the sea.Taking a closer look, Ran Ming was also shocked, there were hundreds of people.Ran Ming said: "Quickly release the rope ladder, save people!"

On the "Feiyun", more than a dozen rope ladders were thrown down one after another.Ran Ming asked nervously, "Do you still have the strength to climb up?"

At this time, a slightly crying human said: "I can climb, I can climb!"

Not long after, more than 100 people climbed on board the "Feiyun". Mark of.

They looked like a dozen or so people, the muscles on their arms were bulging high, their steps were steady, and they looked like they had kung fu.

At this moment, a young man with a turmeric complexion and a sick face cupped his hands and said, "The villain is Qiantang Tianzhen, a grain merchant in Qiantang. He is going to Weidi to sell grain and make a small profit. Who would have thought that he would run into a reef by accident?" , if it wasn't for Xiaolang County to save me, I would be buried in my belly!"

At this time, Ran Ming didn't notice any abnormality, but Chen Ying saw the clue.

Chen Ying whispered: "Your Highness, this person is lying!"

"Lie..." Ran Ming became puzzled.

Chen Ying went on to say: "There are four major grain merchants in Qiantang, who control the grain near Qiantang. There are Chen, Tao, Yu, and He, but I have never heard of Tian."

After being reminded by Chen Ying, Ran Ming also discovered something unusual. These people are so strange that they don’t look like survivors after a catastrophe. Moreover, there are no women and children on board. Just now, they heard women and children calling for help. No one was there either.

Some of these people knelt on the deck and looked around, and some quietly put their hands in their arms. Many strong men were bulging, as if they should have weapons.Moreover, there are more than 100 naval soldiers on this ship, which are obviously not ordinary merchant ships. These people do not have the fear of ordinary people towards soldiers, but instead appear fierce!
Ran Ming didn't hesitate anymore, and shouted: "Don't move, put your head in your hands, and crawl on the ground!"

Tian Zhen was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Xiaolang County, please forgive me, we are all people in distress, and we had a little money just now, but all of them fell into the sea, the great kindness of saving lives, I will report it later!"

Xie Fei also saw the problem, and ordered: "Don't move, or this general will be rude!"

Suddenly, "Feiyun" moved suddenly, and the battleship sank in a rapid manner.Immediately, there was a shout from the cabin, "The general is not good, the bottom of the boat is leaking!"

The moment everyone was a little distracted, Tian Zhen moved. He pulled out a water-splitting thorn from his bosom. The blade of the water-splitting thorn was one and a half feet long, and the tail could be held. The blade was straight and narrow, which was convenient for underwater combat.

The more than 100 people all started to move, they split up and rushed towards the surrounding soldiers, while Tian Zhen rushed towards Ran Ming, he also saw that Ran Ming was the leader of the ship, and he planned to come to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
