Li Zixiao nodded and said, "Very good, you can figure out my good intentions." Please search () to see the most complete! The fastest update

Han Tong, let the brothers of the scout team work hard, scattered around Zhouzhuang to be on guard, and if something happens, immediately report back!

In addition, you send some people to Wangjiazhuang, Hanjiazhuang and other big towns to take a look, don't let us run away from these 'fat pigs' this time, and then we will slaughter who will go." ”

"Hahaha!" Li Zixiao's last words caused his subordinates to laugh.

Li Zixiao also smiled slightly, relieved the tense atmosphere at the scene, and continued: "Dong Zhuang, you take someone to count what you have obtained this time.

Quickly and accurately make a list, count the results of this battle, and count the exploits of this battle. After the rules, I will reward those who have done merit!

Zhou Dazhu, Wei Hong, the two of you will lead people, cooperate with the carts brought by the barracks, and the carts seized from Zhouzhuang, including mules, horses, and cattle, will be called by you.

Prepare within two days, and start to transport the money, food and materials hoarded in Zhouzhuang back to our White Snake Village.

Tell Old Master Wei and Luo Chao to let some of the grain be hoarded in the cottage, and all the rest of the grain will be transported to the secret grain storage points we built before in the mountain.

Everyone should understand the Taoist ideal of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, if we are defeated by the officers and soldiers next, we will go into the mountains, relying on the food we have stored here in advance, and the officers and soldiers will not want to besiege and kill us.

Liu Chong, you go to those villagers in Liucun, select strong men, and select a group of people to temporarily help us deliver supplies.

The Zhou family's grain is very large, and with our transportation capacity, it is absolutely impossible to take it all away in a short time, so it is just right for these Liucun villagers to help, and by the way, give them some grain as a reward. ”

The people who were ordered by Li Zixiao immediately came out to receive orders, and the little guy next to him, Zhao Zilong, saw that everyone had a task, and he was immediately anxious because he was the child king of the boy army who had no task.

He hurriedly stood up and asked: "The big boss, everyone has something to do, and the subordinates have nothing to do, what does the big boss let his subordinates do?" ”

When everyone saw this sixteen-year-old boy, who looked like a monkey desperate for a task, they all immediately felt very funny, and laughed one by one.

Even Li Zixiao smiled, but he was still very satisfied with Zhao Zilong's attitude, and said to him in a soft voice: "Zilong, don't worry, there are many things that we need to be busy with next."

Since you want a mission, then I'll give you and your group of boys a mission. However, if you can't complete the task by then, you will be punished the same! ”

Li Zixiao deliberately planned to provoke Zhao Zilong, and at the same time test the group of boy scouts under him, Zhao Zilong really understood and put a standard upright.

shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, we will complete the task, if we fail to complete the task, we are willing to be punished." ”

"Okay, since this is the case, then you can take someone to disperse all the servants in the original village of the Zhou family, and you can give some money and food to some old and weak women and children, so that they can leave Zhouzhuang. ：”

"That's all for the big boss? Without? After listening to Li Zixiao's words, Zhao Zilong asked suspiciously.

"Why are these not good enough? Don't be too ambitious, get these things done first, and don't think it sounds easy.

You must know that there are hundreds of servants and slaves in the entire Zhouzhuang, plus their families, the population has exceeded 1,000, and you are already very lucky to be able to deal with thousands of people for the first time in charge of the overall situation yourself.

You also know that I will delegate power to you, but I also hope that you can bring me the results I want, Zilong, don't let me down in the Shaofeng Regiment! ”

"Yes, big boss, our Shaofeng Regiment will not let you down." Zhao Zilong was like a little adult, and replied seriously.

Zhao Zilong hurriedly took the order to retreat, and after hesitating for a moment, Quartz asked Li Zixiao: "What about those Zhou family's clansmen?" ”

Li Zixiao waved his hand coldly and said: "It's the slave of the Zhou family, check it out, anyone who helps the Zhou family do evil - kill!" The rest of the people who have nothing to do will be released.

All those slaves and wives and concubines of the Zhou family were notified to their families, and they were each taken back, and those who did not take it back were expelled away, and the rest of the male Zhou clansmen were killed, and no one was left! Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. ”

Everyone was shocked, Li Zixiao's style this time was very different from the style of action when they beat Lin Jiabao last time.

Now it seems that Li Zixiao's heart is much colder and harder than before, but everyone didn't say anything.

Because at this time, the White Dragon Army defeated Zhou Zhuang and had already formed a blood feud with the Zhou family, and the clansmen who kept them could only have one more enemy, so Quartz nodded and immediately agreed.

After the discussion, Zhoujiazhuang immediately became lively again, and the personnel of all departments immediately started to work according to Li Zixiao's instructions.

The servants of Zhouzhuang reluctantly walked out of Zhouzhuang one by one, looking back at the place where they were raised.

Although the Zhou family was unkind to them and exploited them very much, for them, this seemed to be a matter of course.

They were born to be slaves of the Zhou family, and they were born to work for the Zhou family, but now that the Zhou family is completely finished, they can't even continue to be slaves of the Zhou family.

Although the White Dragon Army slaughtered the Zhou family and killed a lot of hardcore Zhuang Ding who helped the Zhou family guard, but on the night of the village, they only harmed the Zhou family, but those ordinary servants of the Zhou family did not kill them.

He also sent people to isolate the area where they were staying, and it didn't harm them too much, which was already extremely magnanimous compared to other poles, so they were secretly glad.

And when the White Dragon Army drove them away, it was clear that as long as the White Dragon Army left, the officers and soldiers would definitely come, and they themselves knew how the officers and soldiers would treat them at that time.

In these years, the officers and soldiers were more fierce than thieves, and although the pole was a thief, most of the time they only sought wealth and did not kill people indiscriminately.

However, the military discipline of the officers and soldiers is extremely corrupt, and they often kill the good and take the risk, and once the officers and soldiers come here, they will end up even worse.

So even if they were reluctant, they still packed up their soft things and dragged their families to receive some money and food from the White Dragon Army.

dragged their families out of Zhouzhuang and walked into the distance, hoping to find a foothold again, and Li Zixiao also thought of going out for them.

The Lin Jiabao that was breached by him before was good, and the land was now redistributed, and under the auspices of Qian Guangyuan, the villagers spontaneously organized a new fort team and elected their own fort chief.

These people can just go to Linjiabao and distribute a part of the land to them so that they can start a new life.

And what Qian Guangyuan did in Lin Jiabao was also instructed by Li Zixiao before, anyway, he couldn't send anyone to manage there at this time, and after their blows, the government also lost control of there.

Simply, Qian Guangyuan asked the villagers there to elect the captain of the fort by themselves, organize their own fort protection team, and protect the safety of their forts, and their White Dragon Army provided them with some simple weapons and training.

Li Zixiao believed that after the new land policy they implemented there, the entire villagers around Linjiabao would not be afraid that they would not support Li Zixiao's White Dragon Army.

At this time, Li Zixiao's talents are limited, and a model like Lin Jiabao will be his main way to manage and break through the Zhuangbao area in the future.

The advantage of this approach is that he can not send many troops there, and let the locals manage themselves.

He was only responsible for redistributing the land, collecting 30 percent of the land rent every year and getting enough food supplies.

After they beat Zhou Zhuang this time, he also intends to continue to use this loose management method, which is currently the most suitable for them.

And at this time, in Zhouzhuang, a bloody aftermath also began, and with Li Zixiao's ruthless order, the fate of these Zhou family members was also doomed.

When the Zhou family was dragged out of Zhuangzi, they cried loudly one by one, begging to spare their lives, but Li Zixiao did not go to watch the beheading, and walked back to Zhuangzi silently.

All the executions were recruits, and according to the practice of the White Dragon Army, the executions of prisoners were all recruits.

There is no other reason, that is, to let the recruits see blood and train their courage, only soldiers who have killed people and seen blood, can be cold and hard-hearted, and in the future war, they can become more fierce.

This is already an unwritten rule in the White Dragon Army, 500 recruits are taken out of Zhuangzi collectively, two people against one, one with a gun and one with a knife, first with a gun and then beheaded, in short, to ensure that everyone sees blood.

The recruits had never experienced such a bloody scene, and some of them naturally couldn't do it, but under the reprimand of the instructors and the military sticks, they could only choose to do it in the end.

Suddenly, there was a scream outside Zhouzhuang, and at first, there were many people in Liucun who ran to see the excitement excitedly.

But when rows of tortured people hit the ground and their bodies lay in pools of blood, the villagers finally realized that killing people was no fun.

One by one, they turned around and dodged, but this kind of killing made these Liucun villagers look at the soldiers of the White Dragon Army again, but there was a little more awe on their faces.

Some of the recruits couldn't stand the blood, and after doing so, they looked at the corpses lying under their hands, turned around and vomited, but were immediately reprimanded by their instructors and retreated to the side.

The execution took an hour, and more than 200 members of the Zhou family were killed.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and the corpses all over the ground made people shudder.

A few crows seemed to smell the blood, and flew from a distance, hovering in the sky, as if waiting for the living people below to leave, and then they would come down and feast.

Li Zixiao had a cold face for a while, and looked around in Zhoujiazhuang to check the work of the generals of various departments, looking very calm and solemn.

In fact, at this time, Li Zixiao's hand hidden in his sleeve was also trembling slightly, especially when he heard bursts of screams, wails and begging for mercy from outside Zhou Zhuang.

After all, this is the first time that Li Zixiao has ordered so many people to be executed, and now his words and deeds can determine the life and death of many people.

Dong Zhuang was still busy counting the huge amount of materials in this Zhouzhuang, and at the same time commanded his auxiliary soldiers to gather all the mules, horses and cattle in Zhouzhuang, and the number was as many as 100.

The big trucks were concentrated near the granary, and a group of young people from Liucun who were recruited by the silver and money of the White Dragon Army kept carrying bags of grain out of the granary and loading them on these big carts.

Several cars were dragged to the Zhou family's mansion, and Quartz personally led the soldiers to pick up pieces of heavy silver ingot quilts from the cellar and load them onto the carts.

After Dong Xiang's inventory, the silver copied from the Zhou family's cellar this time was as much as 80,000 taels, more than 3,000 taels of gold, and a lot of jewelry and antiques.

Even if each cart is loaded with 10,000 taels, it is enough to load nearly ten carts, and this is not counting the countless copper coins, if the copper coins are shipped together, more vehicles will be needed.

Li Zixiao looked at such a huge amount of wealth, and his heart was full of thoughts for a while.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the imperial court was so poor, Emperor Chongzhen could not even pay the salaries of his troops at this time, and the annual tax revenue of the entire Ming court was only about 4 million taels.

It is estimated that if you copy a few salt merchants and princes in Jiangnan, you will be able to get all this silver.

Think about history, after Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing, after raiding those officials and wealthy households, he copied out tens of millions of taels of silver.

Suddenly, Li Zixiao couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart, feeling sad for the Chinese farmers living in this era.

These big landowners can be said to be rich, but they have not contributed anything to the country.

The taxes collected by the imperial court every year cannot be pressed on their heads, but they have to be borne by those ordinary civilians.

These people encroached on most of the fertile land, but they did not bear any obligation at all, but intensified the annexation of land.

It is precisely because a large amount of land was annexed by these gentry that the common people lost a large number of land and became landless.

The remaining landed commoners had to bear more rents, which formed a vicious circle for the whole society, which was also the main reason why the foundation of the Ming Dynasty was shaken.

The Ming Dynasty cannot be said not to be rich, but it is these gentry and landlords who are really rich.

The imperial court was on the verge of bankruptcy under the attack of internal and external troubles, and it is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty finally came to an end.

Now although Emperor Chongzhen is very diligent, not a Ming monarch, but by no means the kind of faint monarch, if Chongzhen was not born at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but in any era of the Ming Dynasty before, he would be very competent as an emperor.

In the end, Li Zixiao can only have 'born at the wrong time' to feel sad for the emperor at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The problems left over for a long time have made it difficult for the Ming Dynasty to return at this time, let alone Chongzhen, I am afraid that even if the gods go down to earth, they will not be able to save the Ming Dynasty.

However, at this time, Li Zixiao also suddenly thought of a question, if it wasn't Chongzhen's luck in history, it was really bad, and he only met a wild boar skin outside the Guanwai.

With the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, even if the wild boar skin is really powerful, if there is no chaos like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to make trouble internally.

The descendants of wild boar skin will never have the opportunity to enter the Central Plains, and to a certain extent, Li Zicheng these rebels also played a role in cooperating with the Tartars outside the Guanwai, so that they have the opportunity to win the Central Plains.

And preventing the wild boar skins outside the Guanwai from ruling China is also one of the grandest wishes Li Zixiao made in his heart.

And he also knew that the Ming Dynasty at this time had been completely decayed and irretrievable, so his goal was to reshuffle the land of China and rebuild a new imperial era.
