Dominate the Country

ps: It's already 100 chapters in a blink of an eye.

Fast horse Yang Ping, spotted tiger Feng Shaohua, before the Chen family started the uprising, these two were also first-class bullies in Ruzhou.

The four heads of Qingtiaoling are well-known throughout Ruzhou.

But the rise of the Chen family was too fierce and too explosive. In a blink of an eye, Qingtiaoling and the Chen family are far from being on the same level. Zhao Chuanjing has full confidence in the Qing Dynasty court. He is unwilling to accompany the Chen family army to die. Last time, he took his men away and abandoned his old nest Qingtiaoling.

The Chen family army entered Baofeng again and captured Baofeng County in one fell swoop. Zhao Chuanjing knew that his days in Ruzhou were over. Next, the government and the court will definitely mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress. He is the fish in the pond that was affected by the fire. He is innocent, but there is no possibility of resistance at all. So he took a few confidants, rolled up the gold and silver, and ran away.

Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua's second brother also followed suit and ran away, but Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua did not. Because they were all from Ruzhou and had real grudges against the Qing government, they took most of the Qingtiaoling team to join the Chen family army. Although Chen Ming looked down on them, he still gave them the position of team officer to buy horse bones.

Of course, the teams under Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua had been completely disbanded and mixed. Now only 20 to 30 of their 200 men were old men from Qingtiaoling.

Chen Ming's main force surrounded the Ruzhou city, but he did not ignore the local towns. He sent Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua, two veterans who were the best at robbing, to lead the team to sweep the surrounding towns. The first target was the rich Wenquan Town.

How rich the Wenquan Town was has been written in the previous article. Since the Chen family army swept half of Ruzhou, the economy of Wenquan Town has been greatly affected, because Wenquan Town is located at the crossroads of the Xiangluo Ancient Road, and its development and prosperity depends on convenient transportation. The Chen family had brought disaster to half of Ruzhou, and immediately strangled the key point of Wenquan Town. The current Wenquan Town is a level lower than the Wenquan Town when Hu Rulin came to collect donations.

But there are so many merchants here. Even if the trade route is affected and you can't deal with the shops for a while, the oil and water here are still abundant.

Finally, for this kind of going to the countryside to collect autumn wind, according to the military regulations of the Chen family army, one of them belongs to the labor force alone, and it can share 10% to 20% of the wealth and goods depending on the amount of profit.

This rule brought great encouragement to Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua, although the military regulations and discipline requirements of the Chen family army are much stricter than those of Qingtiaoling, the bandit den. Each of them had 100 soldiers under their command. They rushed from the state capital to Wenquan Town, and along the way, they collected hundreds of ruffians and farmers who could not bear the temptation and surrendered. After arriving at Wenquan Town, Yang and Feng claimed that they had 500 people and shouted that Wenquan Town should be honest and hand over money and food to avoid suffering.

Qingtiaoling had only a little more than 500 people when it was at its peak, and this included the elderly, the weak, women and children. Now Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua have only 300 people, and the claim of 500 people is just a firm statement. Not to mention the super powerful armaments of the Chen family army. When Qingtiaoling was at its strongest, it was not able to realize the weaponization of all people. The spears held by many Qingtiaoling bandits were just a small piece of iron or an iron bar that was sharpened and sharpened and set on a wooden stick. This was a spear. Only the most courageous and reliable old men in the mountain village could own a regular iron spear head. There was also the iron knife of Qingtiaoling, which had to be sharpened again after chopping two pigs. Compared with the weapons of the Chen family army, Qingtiaoling is like the great-grandson's generation.

The team led by Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua is a new recruit team, so they are only equipped with ten sets of breastplates and twenty sets of light armor. Everyone holds a knife with a good blade. In addition, everyone has an iron lunch box and an iron kettle. It is said that helmets are being made in the mountain village, and there are iron basins in the camp of the mountain village.

Such luxurious weapons make Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua envious.

No wonder the Chen family can rise suddenly, no wonder the private iron dens in Xiang County can't hold on when the Chen family gets into trouble. The connection between the Chen family and the private iron den must be closer than the rumors.

This is a great pressure for Wenquan Town. On the eve of the Chen family's army entering the state capital, these wealthy families in Wenquan Town tried every means to buy a team with money. They didn't want their good place to be burned to ashes by the Chen family army. Unfortunately, the militias in Ruzhou suffered too much loss, and Wenquan Town could not find enough troops even if they waved gold ingots.

When Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua led their men to kill, the militia organized by Wenquan Town had 300 people, which was not much less than the 500 people Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua called. But the combat effectiveness and deterrence between the two sides were simply incomparable. Chen Ming could lead the 500 Chen Jiajun to break Baofeng County; what about Wenquan Town? Their 300 militias did not even dare to go up Qingtiaoling.

"One thousand taels of silver, 200 shi of grain, 50 pigs and sheep..."

Looking at the respectful visitor in front of him, Yang Ping said "Puh", and asked his left and right to fight him and throw him away. "What the hell? You want to send me away with such a small thing?" His eyes looked at the town market not far away and revealed a fierce light. This was the first mission he and Feng Shaohua had received after joining the Chen Family Army. If they couldn't give the young master a good explanation for such a lucrative job, how could they stay in the Chen Family Army? Not to mention that the young master looked up to them, even the officers of other teams would despise Qingtiaoling. "A bunch of people who won't cry until they see the coffin."

Feng Shaohua's eyes were also flashing with murderous intent, and he could also guess what Yang Ping was thinking. "Third brother. That bastard Hu Rulin was able to get 2,700 taels of silver and 2,500 dan of grain in Wenquan Town, and he also made a lot of money. Today, we brothers have received this mission. If we can't get more silver and more grain, how can we brothers have the face to see the eldest master, and how can we gain a foothold in the army in the future?"

"What the fourth brother said is absolutely true. If we don't let the gentry and wealthy families in Wenquan Town bleed hard, we brothers will have no face to live."

"Let the brothers cheer up and show their weapons..."

Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua gathered about 300 people nearby, and shouted about the prosperity of Wenquan Town and the "generosity" of the merchants and wealthy families in Wenquan Town. A state general can take away six or seven thousand taels of silver from Wenquan Town [including the value of grain]. Today, the Chen family army arrived in Wenquan Town. The people of Wenquan Town looked down on the Chen family army and only gave them one thousand taels of silver and two hundred stones of grain. Can the old and young men present tolerate this?

The military regulations and disciplines of the Chen family army clearly record that the troops will share the gold and silver goods looted. Naturally, the more looted, the better.

"Absolutely can't tolerate it. Break Wenquan Town--"

"Break Wenquan Town, break Wenquan Town--"

Except for the three military police who were "supervising the army" in the team, everyone shouted loudly. There was a fanatical power in that voice. Breaking the town, burning, killing and looting, this is the favorite of the veterans and ruffians of Qingtiaoling.
