Steel Dynasty - Chapter 556

[Chapter 556 Official Team]

“General Lu!”

Luo Hong’s face looked a little ugly.

Just when Luo Hong was about to say something else, Luo Xin suddenly pulled Luo Hong and asked him to stop talking.

He glanced at Luo Hong and Lu Fei said: “I don’t care about killing and capturing prisoners. I only know that these people are the remnants of the wealthy family. It is precisely because they are willing to be the eagle dogs of the wealthy family that they will fight stubbornly in the city. I will fight against them.” Merciful, but have they ever sympathized with our dead soldiers?”

After a pause, Luo Hong said: “These three thousand people are just the beginning. When we attacked the city, I said that we must either surrender or the city will be destroyed. “

When he first came to Qingzhou, Luo Xin was not puzzled by the fact that the Qingzhou Army hated the wealthy people. Later, he learned that Xiao Ming almost died at the hands of the wealthy people several times, and that the local wealthy people also colluded with the barbarians. Then I gradually understood.

“Brother, stop talking. This is His Highness’s consistent policy. No wealthy family can exist in any land ruled by His Highness.” Luo Xin said.

Luo Hong sighed when he heard this. Once the emperor and his ministers, if they captured the city in the past, they would only rely on the local wealthy families to manage the city, but now everything has changed.

He said: “General Lu, I was reckless.”

“Colonel Luo, you will gradually understand His Highness’s original intention of doing this in the future.” Lu Fei said.

When the sunset released its last ray of light, a burst of gunfire rang out outside Pengzhou City. The last batch of descendants of the wealthy clans in Pengzhou City were all executed. Then Lu Fei asked the Nanzheng Army to search each family one by one, not letting any remnant of the wealthy family go.

It’s not that Lu Fei is cruel, but Lu Fei clearly remembers the destruction caused by the remnants of the wealthy family in the six states. Instead of being grateful, the wealthy family who were forgiven by Xiao Ming instead wanted to murder Xiao Ming.

From this point alone, he could tell that these wealthy people were all poisonous snakes, and their temporary surrender was nothing more than the dormant nature of winter snakes, which would still bite when they woke up.

The order to kill the prisoners this time was his own decision. Although Xiao Ming left him some room and allowed the wealthy clans to disband their tribes and hand over their property to live in Pengzhou City, the wealthy clans who hated him so much still chose to kill him. More practical.

The next day, the Nanzheng Army was not idle. While Lu Fei sent some soldiers to collect the loot, he also sent Luo Hong and Luo Xin to the six counties of Pengzhou. These six counties were affiliated with Pengzhou City. Now that he had captured Pengzhou City, he naturally We must capture these six counties together.

June 25, Luoxin Kepei County, Luohong Kepi County, June 27th, Luoxin Kexin County, Luohong Ketong County, June 30, Luoxin Kesui County, Luo Hongke Hongshan County, for a time all the counties and villages within Pengzhou City were occupied by the Nanzheng Army.

On July 1st, he learned that Xiao Ming had arrived in Pengzhou City with a group of officials. Looking at the city wall that had been blown up by artillery, Xiao Ming said: “Hey, Luo Xin, this guy, also save some cannonballs. Look. The king has to send people to repair this wall.

“Hahaha…” Fiji laughed when he heard this, and said to Xiao Ming: “Your Highness has such an important city, it is worth spending some cannonballs.”

Of course Xiao Ming was just joking. Successfully capturing Pengzhou City meant that the southern gate of Wei was now open to him, and other cities in Wei were just a matter of time.

However, he cannot immediately attack the next city, biting off more than he can chew. The most important thing now is to stabilize Pengzhou City and establish a government management system similar to the six states.

In addition, he will recruit a group of local soldiers to join the Southern Expeditionary Army, otherwise his soldiers will only become fewer and fewer.

“Your Highness.”

Upon learning that Xiao Ming had arrived, Lu Fei led a group of generals to greet him.

Seeing Lu Fei, Xiao Ming patted him heavily on the shoulder, “Lu Fei, you did not disappoint me in leading the army alone this time. It seems that the Southern Expedition General will have to let you continue to be.”

“Your Highness. , When has Mo Jiang ever let you down? Mo Jiang has corrected a lot of his problems in the past two years, and he doesn’t want to sit in a dark room anymore.” Lu Fei said with a bitter smile.

“Well, correct your mistakes when you know them. There is no such thing as good. There will be many battles in the future. I hope you can lead one side like the Niu Governor.” Xiao Ming said with a smile. Lu Fei was one of the earliest generals to follow Xiao Ming.

In the past two years, Xiao Ming has hidden Lu Fei and refused to promote him. This is not because he dislikes him. On the contrary, Xiao Ming wants to temper Lu Fei’s temper, otherwise he will only be a school captain.

After talking to Lu Fei, Xiao Ming looked at Luo Hong and Luo Xin and said, “They say brothers are brothers in battle, and father and son are soldiers in battle. I heard that you cooperated well on the battlefield this time.”

Luo Xin and Luo Hong clasped their fists and said, “Thank you very much .

Your Highness praised me.”

After greeting the generals, Xiao Ming, Feiji and others walked towards Pengzhou City. At this time, the people in the city dared to walk on the streets. These days, the Southern Expedition Army has done nothing wrong, which makes the people feel at ease. I became more courageous.

One of the purposes of Xiao Ming’s visit to Pengzhou City this time was to bring the officials who took over Pengzhou City. After these officials take office, they will reform Pengzhou City and completely bring Pengzhou City under the management of Qingzhou.

“Your Highness, this is the courtyard of the Mi family, a wealthy family in Pengzhou City.” Lu Fei led a group of officials directly to the courtyard of the Mi family.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xiao Ming couldn’t help but shook his head and said: “This Mi Family Courtyard is much more elegant than my prince’s palace. Look at this vermilion corridor, this rockery, the carp in the pond, and the people in this courtyard.” “

No, it’s just that the area of this courtyard is three or four times that of the palace. I heard about the Mi family in Pengzhou City when I was in Chang’an. When I saw it today, it turned out to be an extremely wealthy family. It’s just that. It’s a pity that the Mi family is stubborn and still can’t understand the current situation.”

The two were patrolling the yard when Lu Fei sent an account book and said, “Your Highness, these are the thirty-six families in Pengzhou City. The general has already sent people to count all the properties of the wealthy family, and they are all here. “

Xiao Ming took a look at the account book, which recorded the properties, fields, warehouses, and a lot of gold and silver that he had not had time to take away.

Glancing at Lu Fei, Xiao Ming said: “You are so anxious to send the account book. Do you want to share the reward now?”

“Your Highness, it’s not that the general wants to separate, it’s the soldiers who are worried about whether this bounty system is true or not.” Lu Fei said with a bitter smile.

Xiao Ming handed the account book to Fiji and said, “Mr. Fei Ge, please calculate how much money these properties are worth in total, and divide some of them among the soldiers according to the bounty system.”

“Yes, Your Highness!” Fiji said with a smile. At this time, he couldn’t help but admire in his heart.

During the war, many generals condoned soldiers looting, but this would lead to a breakdown in military discipline and unnecessary losses. Now Xiao Ming asked Lu Fei to hand over all the spoils and then issue a bounty. This not only showed that the army was highly disciplined, but also It also benefited the soldiers participating in the war and inspired their will to fight.
