Qiming 1158

Chapter 1236 Fighting a war is really a business

After Ma Long and his [-] main force were destroyed, Renshou County was quickly smashed by the Song army, and the family members and supporters of the uprising army in the county were slaughtered by the Song army.

Lu wanted to use this county as a reward for the soldiers of the Song Army.

He allowed them to wantonly burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil, as a means to relieve their physical and mental pressure and win the hearts of the army. The soldiers of the Song army shouted excitedly to thank their generals, and then rushed into the city to loot, burn and kill, and a county town was quickly reduced to a Purgatory.

This is not only a reward for the soldiers of the Song army, but also a means to deter the rest of the rebel army.

Tell them through the massacre that if they dare to resist the imperial court, this is the end.

Kneeling obediently, beating and scolding without fighting back, honestly carrying out agricultural production, and obediently handing over the wealth that you have accumulated to the upper-class gentlemen to enjoy, this is the meaning of your life as a group of cattle and horses.

Bulls and horses have no other value. The only value is the value of being exploited and oppressed. Through exploitation and oppression, they shape the noble quality of life of the upper class.

Revolt?

This is the end!
Lu looked at the burning Renshou county town, and his heart was full of twisted pleasure.

As a general, of course, he has the privilege to enjoy. In order to please him, some subordinates selected some decent-looking women to present to him for him to enjoy.

So while the soldiers of the Song army burned, killed, and looted in the city, he also enjoyed the women dedicated to him in the military tent.

The 1000 soldiers of the Song Dynasty committed atrocities for three consecutive days and nights. More than [-] family members and followers of the rebels in the city were massacred, leaving only more than [-] people alive.

The reason they lived was not because the Song army was kind, but because the Song army was too tired to burn, kill, and loot, and they needed someone to help them dig a pit to bury the mountains of broken corpses, so as to prevent the corpses from corrupting and the plague spreading.

At the same time that Renshou County slaughtered the city, the battle in Guiping County also reached its final moment.

Without the suppression of Ma Long's main force, the armed forces of Lao Cai, the thirteen landlords, gained the upper hand, and quickly launched a counterattack, defeating the more than 1000 insurgents who stayed and continued to fight.

More than 600 people were killed, and more than 500 people were captured, and then brutally killed by these landlords and rich people.

Hanged, dismembered, and more.

Those peasants of local origin who were instigated and tried to cooperate with the rebel army were also picked up and killed in public as an example.

So far, the Longzhou uprising army was wiped out, and the uprising was declared a failure.

In the next few days, Lu successively recovered the county seat occupied by the rebel army, wiped out all the remaining rebel army, and completely pacified the land of Longzhou.

At this moment, Longzhou has lost more than [-] people after being devastated before and after. It was originally a well-populated area, but it was devastated by this wave of war and directly turned into a purgatory on earth.

The resident population fled and died, and there was a style of ten rooms and nine empty spaces.

But because of this, a large amount of unowned land has been vacated in the entire Longzhou, and some of the land is very good and belongs to the first-class fields.

Originally, according to the usual practice, in order to appease the people, these lands would be redistributed in waves and distributed to the local civilians to allow them to resume production, so that they can continue to be cattle and horses with peace of mind, but the situation is special now.

Because most of the old landlords were killed by the Malong rebels, the thirteen landlords of Guiping became the few survivors. They offered their belongings to Lu and bribed him, hoping that Lu could help them.

The thirteen Guiping families took a fancy to those unowned lands in Longzhou, hoping that they could make up for the loss of the family in the war by acquiring these lands, which was considered a negligible compensation.

The bribery of a lot of money and goods made Lu very happy, so Lu decided to help these thirteen companies operate.

The bureaucrats in Longzhou were basically killed by the rebel army. At present, Longzhou is completely in charge of Lu, so after the first operation, most of the vacant fertile and fertile fields were handed over to the thirteen Guiping families to divide up.

These thirteen landlords and old wealth are also a bit of an idea. They realized the truth of seeking wealth in danger and found a way to obtain wealth from danger. They upgraded from county-level local tyrants to state-level tyrants in one go, and they also took the line of Lu. .

Lu's immediate superior is Wu Lin, who is the current Optimus Prime of the Song Dynasty, Wu Lin. They have caught up with this line. Do they still need to doubt their future wealth?

Of course, in return, they not only gave Lu a large sum of money at one time before, but also presented him with several beautiful beauties to accompany him, making Lu satisfied.

Not only that, but in the future, the harvest on these lands can not be involved, but filial piety during festivals, offerings when encountering problems, etc., are indispensable.

The tyrants can eat meat, but the umbrellas can't have nothing, otherwise the umbrella can't be lifted, and it can't block the wind and rain.

Therefore, they need to continue to provide more benefits to Lu, even a fixed share, and dedicate the wealth from operations to Lu, so as to maintain this hard-won upper-level route.

The thirteen Guiping families made their fortunes through the troubled times and expanded their family business. In the process, Lu got significantly more.

During the sage time after fighting hard with the woman, Lu also thought about the next thing through the brief Qingming.

Since you can operate so many benefits in Longzhou through war, doesn't it mean that you can continue to operate more things like this in the future?

After the war is over and the rebellion is pacified, wouldn't he be the uncrowned king of this region and a super rich man with great wealth?
Those civil servants looked down on him every day, but it didn't matter, as long as he looked down on himself, he would eventually turn around.

and……

Sure enough, fighting is a business.

Lu Haha laughed, feeling that he was actually quite business-minded, and he could do more work in this direction in the future.

The court wants me to work hard, and it always has to give me something. Otherwise, I will always charge with the army and get no benefit at all. This is too unfair.

This is what the court owes me, and I deserve it.

After determining these two key points, Lu started to act without any psychological burden.

After the pacification of Longzhou, the land represented the court to request awards, and then launched an attack on Meizhou according to the predetermined plan.

The initial number of Meizhou rebels was not too many, about 3000 people, more than [-] people gathered, but the number increased rapidly. When Lu was about to launch an attack on Meizhou, the number of Meizhou rebels had already exceeded Five thousand, more than [-] people gathered, the momentum is huge.

The head of the Meizhou Uprising Army, Yan Fei, was a rich peasant. Because his family offended a big local family, he became a victim during the most ferocious period of tax collection by the imperial court.

The Yan family's property was almost taken away by the big family who colluded with the government. His father died of anger, and his mother committed suicide. The son is waiting to be fed.

A family that was harmonious and happy without fear of starvation fell apart in an instant, and Yan Fei was greatly stimulated.

He gave his son who was waiting to be fed to a farm family to be raised, and he spent the last of his wealth, called more than 30 dead men, and killed the entire family of that rich family in one night.

Then he fled into the countryside, raised the rebel flag, gathered the peasants who had been taxed and separated from their wives and sons to resist together. It only took five days to counterattack back to the county seat, arresting the famous county magistrate who broke his family and hanged him. , and then burnt to ashes.

Yan Fei led the rebels to clean up all the officials and officials in the entire county government. No one was alive, because they were all bastards.

After the revenge was over, Yan Fei also knew that he couldn't go back, there was no way out, and he could only go all the way to the dark.

He let go of everything, decided to rebel to the end, and make a statement for the unfair treatment he suffered.

If Mr. Guan didn’t give him an explanation, he would give it to himself, and no one could rely on Mr. Guan!
