The backyard of the entire Zhou family's mansion also lit a fire, the flames rose into the sky, and the billowing smoke went straight to the sky, burning the people of the Zhou family in the backyard. vdt.
Zhou Dahu didn't expect Li Zixiao to be so ruthless, he originally wanted to set fire to stop the White Dragon Army's attack and buy time for their escape.
However, what Zhou Dahu didn't expect was that Li Zixiao actually took advantage of the situation to use fire to attack, which was simply a catastrophe for the people hiding in the backyard of the Zhou family's mansion!
At this time, most of the houses and buildings in ancient China were wooden structures, and they were splashed with fire oil thrown in by the White Dragon Army outside, and a flame was thrown in, and it instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Zhou Dahu was roasted by the fire in front of him, his beard and hair were curled, and he stood in the courtyard with a hideous face, scolding outside.
And Zhou Laocai was also on crutches at this time, standing beside him with a look of despair, shouting at the sky: "God! Could it be that our Zhou family is really going to be so broken today.
Oh my God, open your eyes, chop these damn thieves to death, the century-old foundation of my Zhou family will be cut off in my hands today, what kind of face do I have to go to see my ancestors and ancestors!
Cai Tianyuan, the old man really shouldn't have listened to your bewitchment in the first place, provoked these god-killing white dragon bandits, now we are in trouble, but you don't come to support us, the old man won't spare you even if he is a ghost. ”
Zhou Laocai really regretted it at this time, he didn't expect Li Zixiao to be so scheming, and their strong fort was actually beaten down in one day.
If this was put before the war, if someone said this, then everyone in the Zhou family would definitely laugh and disagree, but now the facts have slapped them hard.
Zhou Dahu next to him listened to his father's cursing and was extremely impatient.
For their Zhou family, this disaster was simply a disaster.
If it weren't for the fact that his father had responded to the Cai family's persuasion and sent Zhuang Ding to follow the officers and soldiers of the Suiyang Guard Station to encircle and suppress the White Snake Village, he would not have caused such a big disaster.
Now he's blaming this and that, and now it's a to say this.
In fact, if Li Zixiao was here, he would definitely tell the Zhou family that he attacked their Zhuangzi, not only for revenge, but also for the land in their hands.
Without those lands, how would he gain the support of the people around him, how would he get food and grass, and if he could establish a solid base?
Li Zixiao didn't have much silver in his hand, and it was impossible to take the road of redeeming land with silver, so he could only take the road of violently seizing it.
This is the end point of an era, all order must be overthrown and re-established, in this case, let Li Zixiao come a little more thoroughly, and set off a land revolution in China three hundred years in advance? Fate!
At this time, Zhou Dahu couldn't care about his father, so he turned his head and summoned a few of his cronies' subordinates, and instructed them: "Hurry up and prepare the horse, rush out from the back door with me, go out through the west gate, and go out here!" ”
"Tiger Boy, what are you going to do? You're gone, what should Dad do? If you want to escape, you have to take your father with you! ”
After Zhou Laocai, an old thing, scolded for a while, he suddenly heard his son's voice, and hurriedly rushed over, grabbed Zhou Dahu's sleeve, and asked him.
Zhou Dahu flicked his arm impatiently, shook Zhou Laocai at once, and sat heavily on the ground.
Zhou Dahu said with a look of disgust: "Dad, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." If the child doesn't leave, I'm afraid he'll die here.
You should take care of yourself when you are old, you are not a pity for your Wanguan family wealth, today you will stay here and accompany your Wanguan family wealth to go underground to see the ancestors and ancestors! ”
"You...... You, rebel, you rebel! You are going to leave your father behind at this time, I will support you so much, do you just abandon your father and run for your life without regard for yourself? ”
After listening to Zhou Dahu's words, Zhou Laocai was also dumbfounded, is this still his son?
How can his son, who is respectful and filial to himself on weekdays, change a person in a blink of an eye, sitting on the ground and pointing at Zhou Dahu and scolding.
Zhou Dahu glanced at his father, and said angrily in disgust: "Is it possible that you want me to accompany you to die, I am only in my early twenties, and a good life is waiting for me to enjoy in the future."
You're half buried in the ground, and you can still withstand the toss of fleeing all the way, so you'd better stay.
If you hadn't provoked the White Dragon Bandit in the first place, why would our family have been in such a big disaster? Now you're asking me to die with you, an old immortal, and I haven't lived enough. Ask for your own blessings! ”
After speaking, Zhou Dahu did not forget to rush to Zhou Laocai's room, and used a knife to pry open a stone slab on the ground, and a large wooden box was placed in it, which he opened.
In addition to the bright half box of gold bars and jewelry, there are also a stack of silver tickets and property deeds.
"Rebel, how do you know there's a camera out here?" Zhou Laocai exclaimed when he saw that Zhou Dahu had accurately found the dark box where he had hidden his private treasure.
"Old thing, I already knew about the dark box here, and I thought it would be mine sooner or later anyway, just like it was stored with you for me.
But not now, the white dragon bandits outside are about to attack in, and these things can't be left to those thieves, and the children will all be taken away.
This is the capital to revitalize our Zhou family and avenge your old man in the future. With that, Zhou Dahu stuffed all the silver tickets in the box into his chest.
One last glance, the box of gold bars and jewels, sighed, closed the box, but unfortunately these gold bars and jewels were too heavy to take with them.
If Zhou Dahu was greedy to take these yellow and white at this time, it is estimated that he would not be able to escape from Zhuangzi, so Zhou Dahu directly resisted the temptation and only chose the most convenient silver ticket to leave.
Not to mention, Zhou Dahu is ruthless enough, and his methods are ruthless enough, he is a heroic figure, this kind of character is more suitable for the survival of the chaotic world at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
"You rebel, you have been spying on the family's property for a long time, I will kill you." Zhou Laocai was angry, raised his crutches, and rushed towards Zhou Dahu tremblingly.
"Get out of the way, old immortal, Lao Tzu doesn't have time to delay time with you." Zhou Dahu pulled the elderly Zhou Laocai aside and walked out of the room.
At this time, several of Zhou Dahu's cronies had also pulled out a few good horses from the stable and walked out.
Zhou Dahu stretched out his hand and pulled out a saber, turned over and jumped on a horse, and shouted: "Open the back door, the sea, take someone to rush out with me, as long as we kill Zhuangzi, we still have a way to live, there is only a dead way to stay here, kill!" ”
Several family members hurriedly opened the back door, and Zhou Dahu immediately took some remaining Zhuang Ding and rode his horse to kill outside the courtyard gate.
But just when Zhou Dahu rode his horse out of the back door, he was suddenly shocked to see a row of soldiers of the White Dragon Army standing in front of them blocking the back door of their house.
Everyone was holding a bird gun in their hands, and there was a fire rope burning behind the gun, and they were carefully blowing the fire rope and aiming the gun at the back door of the Zhou family.
A man stood on the side of this platoon of soldiers, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was looking at a group of dead people, staring at Zhou Dahu who rushed out of the back door, holding a single knife in his hand, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Release!" ”
This row of soldiers holding bird guns immediately pulled the trigger, and the dragon head stuck in the fire rope suddenly fell into the medicine pool, and puffs of gunpowder smoke immediately erupted from the muzzle.
Ahh......hhh
A scream sounded, and at such a close distance, the projectiles shot by a row of bird-gunners easily hit Zhou Dahu and Zhuang Ding beside him.
The lead bullet that was shot into their bodies directly tore their internal organs all over their bodies, and Zhou Dahu felt a hot and sharp pain in his chest, and he directly planted his horse and lost his breath.
"Phew, the big boss guessed that he was right, and he still wanted to escape, he had already guarded against you, and he had the same surname as Lao Tzu, which really defiled the surname Lao Tzu."
Zhou Dazhu walked up to Zhou Dahu, who had already lost his breath, spat on the corpse, and said with a look of disdain.
"Kill with Lao Tzu."
The Zhou family's mansion rushed out of the back door with Zhou Dahu, the back door was wide open, and Zhou Dazhu led people into the Zhou family's backyard after intercepting and killing Zhou Dahu.
Just when Zhou Dazhu led people to attack the last place of resistance in Zhouzhuang, the backyard of the Zhou family, Li Zixiao was no longer here.
At this time, Li Zixiao was standing in a cellar of the Zhou family accompanied by Wei Hong, and when Li Zixiao saw the situation in the cellar clearly, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
The cellar was full of piles of silver ingots, some of which had been blackened by the long storage, indicating that they had been stored here for a long time.
Just counting the silver stored in this cellar, there are nearly 100,000 taels.
In addition, there are countless copper coins, and even some hemp ropes that connect copper coins have been broken because of too much time, and copper coins are scattered on the ground.
It can be seen that in the past hundred years of the Zhou family, several generations have stripped the chassis of how much money, so that some of the ropes that wear copper coins have rotted, and the big lumps of copper coins have corroded together.
In addition to the silver money, after the Zhou family's grain warehouse was opened, it was full of all kinds of grain, and some of the grain had even become moldy and insectatic.
The Zhou family would rather rot in the granary than take it out to help the displaced people, and after counting, these grains reached nearly 10,000 stones, enough for tens of thousands of people to eat for half a year.
There was so much food that everyone was amazed, and Li Zixiao couldn't help but feel a little worried when he looked at the food.
In the past, he worried about the problem of food every day, for fear that if he slacked off, there would be a situation of running out of food, and these people were really afraid of hunger.
Now that so much food was in front of him at once, Li Zixiao laughed loudly.
"Haha, Lao Tzu no longer has to worry about having no food to eat in the future. Lao Tzu wants to let his subordinates eat enough every day, Lao Tzu wants to expand the army, recruit people, and ...... Anyway, if you follow Lao Tzu in the future, you don't have to starve. ”
Li Zixiao was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and started talking nonsense, but after smirking happily for a long time, he began to worry again.
With so much grain, if you want to transport it away, a cart full of 30 stone of grain will be loaded, and if you transport it all, nearly 10,000 stone of grain will need hundreds of carts.
With so many big cars, he had nowhere to go, let alone find so many people! Therefore, after Li Zixiao was extremely excited, he began to worry about how to transport these grains.
"Hey, I'm so stupid, why can't I figure this out!" Suddenly, Li Zixiao slapped his head and said with a smile.
"Why do I have to transport all this grain back to the cottage, this Zhouzhuang is so strong, it is completely a strong fortress.
Why don't I take the opportunity to occupy it, this will be a stronghold of our White Dragon Army in the future, and the roads here are crisscrossed and the transportation is convenient, just so that I can open a market here.
As a trading location, it is much more convenient than the White Snake Village in the mountains, and if I want to build Yongcheng County into my own base in the future, I can't nest in the mountains every day.
I have decided that in the future, Zhouzhuang will become the new fortress of our White Dragon Army in Yongcheng County, and the White Snake Village in Mangdang Mountain can be used to hide and train troops. ”
In the end, Li Zixiao made up his mind in his heart, to be honest, he just came here, he directly took a fancy to Zhou Zhuang and had the intention of occupying it.
Now that he saw so much money and food, it was estimated that it would not be possible to move all of them to the mountains for a while, so Li Zixiao made up his mind.
"Wei Hong, send someone to Lao Tzu to guard the granary and cellar of the Zhou family, no one is allowed to approach, but there is no forgiveness for those who trespass without permission."
Li Zixiao turned around and said sharply to Wei Hong.
"Big boss, please rest assured, I have sent my right-hand men to guard the Zhou family's cellar, granary, warehouse and other important positions, no one is allowed to approach, there will be absolutely no problems."
Wei Hong said respectfully.
"Well, you did a good job, let's go, let's go out first, go and see if the war is over in Dazhu, it is estimated that Dazhu should be defeated by this time Zhou family mansion."
Let's go and see Zhou Laocai, let's thank this rich man for the money and food he sent to our White Dragon Army, he is the food and clothing parents of our White Dragon Army! ”
"Haha!" After speaking, Li Zixiao and Wei Hong laughed at the same time.
Li Zixiao said this, it was really from the heart, he was really grateful to Zhou Laocai in his heart at this time, and he had saved so much money and food for him.
With this large amount of money and food in hand, he can expand his strength, even if the official army comes to encircle and suppress him again, he has the confidence to have a good time with the official army.
"No guns, no cannons, the enemy made it for us! There is no money, no food, someone sent it to us! "When he walked out ......of the Zhou family's granary, Li Zixiao was so happy that he couldn't help humming a little song in his mouth.
Fortunately, Li Zixiao used the tactic of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, so that those tenants turned against the water, entangled Zhoujiazhuang, and let them attack Zhouzhuang with lightning speed.
At this time, the Zhou family never even dreamed that their Zhuangzi would be broken so quickly, and they didn't even make preparations to burn these grains.
This allowed Li Zixiao to take a big advantage, otherwise if the Zhou family was fully prepared, they would put a fire on this granary when Zhuangzi was about to be breached.
Then Li Zixiao will not get anything, what he will get will be a piece of ashes, and Li Zixiao will have no place to cry when he cries.
This is certain, it is impossible for the Zhou family to leave so much money and food for the great enemy who attacked their Zhuangzi and killed their entire clan, and they still understand this truth.
Therefore, Li Zixiao was also secretly glad in his heart at this time.
When Li Zixiao rushed over with Wei Hong, he saw that Zhou Dazhu really led people to capture the Zhou family's mansion, and there was no resistance in Zhouzhuang so far.
The entire Zhouzhuang is now completely occupied by the White Dragon Army, and it is completely owned by Li Zixiao. (To be continued.) )
