Empire

Several black columns of smoke shot up into the sky from the provincial capital. A large number of murderous Qinghe troops entered the city. The flags of the Dynasty Army on the top of the city wall were thrown down and replaced with the battle flags of the Qinghe Army.

Under the leadership of the generals, the various Qinghe Army troops occupied the various treasuries and strategic points in the city and took control of the city.

The Dynasty Army soldiers guarding these places had already fled when they saw that the situation was not good.

When the Qinghe Army soldiers broke open the door of the treasury, the mountains of food made these Qinghe Army soldiers who had put down their hoes to serve as soldiers open their mouths in shock.

"What's in the box over there? Open it and have a look."

A troop found the neatly stacked wooden boxes, and an officer strode over.

He walked to a wooden box, drew the sword from his waist, and chopped the locked wooden box open with one stroke. What caught his eye was a golden light, which was a whole box of gold coins, which made the officer's breathing become rapid.

In the Far East Dynasty, one gold coin was enough for a family of three to live a rich life for several months.

But now there was a whole box of gold coins. The officer had never seen so many gold coins in his life.

""Open all the boxes and have a look!"

The officer danced with joy and ordered the soldiers to open the rest of the boxes.

Soon, boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were presented to the soldiers without reservation.

These soldiers from poor families were at a loss when they saw the mountains of money.

""Brothers, what are you waiting for? Take as much as you can!"

The leading officer was the first to be unable to bear it. With his shout, all the soldiers rushed forward, happily stuffing handfuls of jewels and gold coins into their pockets.

These soldiers made a lot of money, and when the news spread, countless soldiers flocked to the treasury.

When the troops sent by Marshal Zhang Dayuan to take over arrived at the treasury where the money was stored, at least half of the money had been taken away.

In addition to the treasury where money and grain were piled up, the mansions of officials in various parts of the city also became important targets for the soldiers of the Qinghe Army.

Faced with these murderous soldiers of the Qinghe Army, those officials who were pampered on weekdays were either killed or disguised as refugees and hid away early.

"My god, this is much better than the house of the rich man in our village."

Seeing the magnificent and luxurious house, the Qinghe soldiers were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, with envy, surprise, and all kinds of expressions.

"Look at what you have accomplished. This is countless times better than the mansions of the rich."

The mansions of these officials were indeed renovated to be extraordinarily grand and luxurious, with carved corridors and painted walls, small bridges and flowing water. Each mansion was like an independent little kingdom.

But now, the servants in these mansions were running away in panic.

The Qinghe soldiers holding bloody swords rushed in along the corridor and began to search for valuable items.

The bronze mirrors inlaid with gems, the ornaments made of jade, and the door frames inlaid with gold all became the spoils of the Qinghe Army.

These bloodstained Qinghe soldiers were all grinning from ear to ear, because they had made a fortune.

"You can’t take it, you can’t take it!"

Some officials who loved money hid in the courtyard. When the Qinghe soldiers broke in and tried to take their money, they couldn’t help but come out to try to stop them.

""Get lost!"

These soldiers of the Qinghe Army had just finished fighting, and they were still full of violent energy.

With a flash of knife light, the heads of those dynasty officials who couldn't help but come out to stop them fell to the ground, becoming headless corpses.

The houses of countless officials and wealthy people were looted. Those once high and mighty dignitaries seemed so weak and powerless in front of these murderous Qinghe Army soldiers.

In order to compete for the spoils, countless fights broke out among the various Qinghe Army troops.

The ruffians and bullies in the city also took advantage of the chaos to start looting. They broke into shops and houses, robbed property and committed crimes. The entire provincial capital fell into chaos.

The scattered dynasty soldiers Many soldiers were still stranded in the city, and they also wanted to grab a few more things before fleeing.

Although the Qinghe Army occupied the city, the killing did not stop, small-scale fighting was still going on, looting and killing were also happening, and order was gone.

Chen Ru, deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, entered the city with a group of soldiers. Everywhere he looked, he saw a mess.

The streets were littered with corpses, and the gurgling blood made the ditches red.

Those Qinghe Army soldiers who entered the city first were carrying bulging packages, and they were still looting money from house to house.

Seeing this scene, Deputy Commander Chen Ru's brows were wrinkled into a"川" shape, because this was not the result he wanted to see.

"Order all officers to gather and restrain their troops. Anyone who dares to rob the people's property will be killed immediately!"Deputy Commander Chen Ru gave the order coldly.

""Yes!"

Several messengers with small flags on their backs trotted along the street, conveying the military order of Deputy Commander Chen Ru.

In fact, when Deputy Commander Chen Ru issued the order, Li Lang, the deputy battalion commander of the 9th Battalion of Chen Ziang, had already tried to end the chaos and restore order. The

9th Battalion occupied East Street. Under Li Lang's order, the situation here was much better than other streets with burning, killing and looting.

"You guard the intersection and don't allow soldiers from any other battalion to enter!"

"You search for the remaining enemies from house to house, and those who lay down their weapons will be spared."......

Under Li Lang's command, the soldiers of the 9th Battalion carried out the military order in an orderly manner.

However, seeing that the soldiers of other battalions were looting property unscrupulously, many recruits of the 9th Battalion were also ready to act.

When they were searching for the remaining enemies from house to house, some people could not help but take action.

"You can’t take it, you can’t take it."

Faced with these soldiers suddenly snatching money, some people begged bitterly, wanting to save their property.

"I fought so hard, so what if I took a little from you? Get out of here now, or else don’t blame me for being rude!" One soldier said viciously.

""Soldier, sir, if you take the money, our family will have no way to survive, please give it back to us."

Some people hugged the soldier's thigh, trying to get back the few silver coins they had.

Faced with the entangled and crying people, the impatient soldier drew his sword and chopped them down on the head, blood splattered.

"Humph, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink a penalty!"

The soldier snorted in dissatisfaction when he saw the people lying in a pool of blood.

"I fought with you——"

Seeing his family being killed, a young man's eyes immediately turned red, and he rushed forward to kick and hit the soldier.

The cold sword flashed, and the young man fell in a pool of blood.

The movement here happened to be seen by a passing military police, who hurriedly reported to the deputy battalion commander Li Lang who was in charge of military discipline.

When these soldiers just came out of the house carrying large and small bags, they were hit by the hurried deputy battalion commander Li Lang.
