Chapter 260: Sealing the Treasure and Sharing the Spoils

Throughout Da Xie Island, the soldiers of Shamen Town, mainly Li Xigou's military police and the Flying Eagle Reconnaissance Battalion, began to carry out a comprehensive purge. With Li Wei and Li Xigou joining forces, and each performing their own duties, more than 1,000 soldiers began to search and clean up from house to house.

Feng Zhangfeng Xun is dead, and the power he has been entrenched in Da Xie Cheng for ten years will also be uprooted.

"When is the time for retribution?" When Li Jing gave the order, he was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand to sober up, and the first sentence he said made everyone feel a little worried, for fear that he would be merciful and let go of the Feng family and those who were loyal to the Feng family for a while. However, Li Jing's next sentence made them breathe a sigh of relief, "The grass must be eradicated!" ”

Li Jing has already taken the Great Xie Yan, so he doesn't plan to let go of those who are loyal and follow Yu Fengzhang. The struggle is so cruel, standing on the wrong team, often this is the end. Although the Feng clan lives in Qingzhou, Li Jing is beyond the reach of the whip, and for the time being, he can't really deal with the huge hundred-year-old clan Feng clan. But right now, on the territory of Da Xie Yan, Li Jing can still make the decision and get rid of those people.

After the last battle, Feng Zhang's power in Da Xie Qi was greatly shaken, and he lost all the other islands except for the South Island of Da Xie Qi. Although Li Jing only occupied the big and small black mountain islands and a dozen small islands around them after the agreement was reached, and returned Turtle Island and Wuhu Island to Fengzhang, they all became empty islands, and there are not many people until now. All the people gathered on the South Island, which also made Li Jing's purge very smooth.

With a population of tens of thousands on the South Island, the initial search was soon over.

The wives, children, and clansmen of the clan, as well as the subordinates and families of those henchmen, were all screened out as soon as possible. Escorted to the dock.

For these people. Li Jing directly ordered the family members of Fengzhang and the few generals who refused to surrender to be beheaded. The head was hung on the pier for public display. The rest, nearly 3,000 people, were all given to Li Lingfu by Li Jing as gifts. Their property and houses were confiscated, although Feng Chang was defeated several times in a row. But the money and grain that Da Xie Yan has stored in the past ten years still amazed Zhang Hong and Du Zhongwu, who came to count and register.

According to preliminary estimates, there were 300,000 stone of grain, 40 granaries of 8,000 stone were piled up, and only 10 of the 50 granaries on the island were empty. These grains. It was enough for his original army of 20,000 for five years. And the number of copper coins in the treasury is also quite amazing, in the late Tang Dynasty, there was a shortage of money all over the country, but there were more than 800,000 copper coins lying in the treasury of Fengzhang, and the whole treasury was full of yellow and clear copper coins, and even many copper coins were piled up too far away, so that the rope of stringing money was rotten, and the copper coins were scattered all over the ground. At this time, Datang only had ninety-nine official coinage furnaces, and it could only mint 300,000 yuan a year. The money saved by Feng Zhang is almost equivalent to the amount of money minted in the imperial court for three years.

In addition to money and food, a large amount of other goods were harvested. Among them, the silk used as money and silk. That's a million horses, stacked in a long row of warehouses. and other silk fabrics. There are more than 100,000 horses of linen and silk and grosgrain, and there are also tens of thousands of horses. It's worth millions of dollars in total.

In addition to these, the seizure of military materials is also exciting.

The seizure on the battlefield and the reception in the warehouse, there are more than 10,000 pairs of knives, guns, and long-term contradictory brand bows and arrows, especially the three most standard equipment such as spears, horizontal knives and bows and arrows, as high as more than 20,000 pairs, as many as 8,000 individual crossbow machines, and more than 5,000 shields of various types.

There are more than 20,000 iron helmets, 3,000 pairs of iron armor, 5,000 leather armor, and 1 million arrows. In addition, there are hundreds of heavy crossbow catapults of various types, which are the weapons and equipment and storage of an army of 20,000, a real treasure. With so many weapons, Li Jing's Shamen Town Army didn't have to worry about weapons for almost a long time.

"This is all the belongings that Feng Zhang has saved by controlling Dengzhou Port over the years, and privately withholding a part of the Pinglu Army units such as Wang Jingwu of Qingzhou. This Feng Zhang is really powerful, he has withheld so much money and grain, and saved so many belongings, but Wang Jingwu and other military leaders of the Pinglu Army can still tolerate him until now, it is not simple. But I have to thank him for saving such a fortune, and now he has made a wedding dress for us. Li Jing couldn't help but smile when he listened to Zhang Hong's excited report on the harvest.

Zhang Hong nodded, "Yes, this Zhang's ability to save belongings is really good." What's even more amazing is that almost all of these weapons were built by Da Xie Yan himself in the past ten years. Feng Zhang has a huge ordnance workshop in the city, with 3,000 craftsmen, working day and night to build weapons, in addition to his own accumulation, every year he has to trade a large number of weapons with the Liaodong tribes, as well as the Khitan, Bohai State, Silla State, etc. Earn a lot of profits. ”

"Okay, these craftsmen are important, put them all in our armory." Li Jing did not hesitate to decide to keep these craftsmen for his own use. In troubled times, the importance of weapons and armor is self-evident. Although the seizure of Shamen Town is enough for several years, Li Jing understands that there are two most profitable businesses in the troubled times, one is food and the other is weapons.

Shamen Town can't use so many weapons for the time being, but it can continue to expand the ordnance workshop and use weapons processing and manufacturing as an important source of future finance for Shamen Town. This not only ensures the town's own weapons production capacity, but also ensures a steady stream of income.

Big harvest, no wonder you can't get a hero like Huang Chao later, who never built a base, only knew that the road flowed all over the world. A large part of the reason is that they do not have a strong foundation like those who rebelled against the separatist families and generals. Without craftsmen and materials, it is difficult to run a base area. It takes craftsmen and materials to make a knife and gun, and it is really too different from robbery.

Li Jing himself also paid for the sweetness of the seizure early, and Shamen Town's own ordnance workshop rushed to work day and night, but even if it was a whole year, the ordnance produced by thousands of craftsmen could not arm the nearly 10,000 people and horses in Shamen Town.

"There is also a horse farm in Da Xie Qi, in which there are 3,000 mules, 5,000 donkeys, 1,000 horses, and 500 war horses. Feng Zhang, this dog thief, not only has hundreds of warships, but also raises so many horses and donkeys, his soldiers and horses are completely able to have ships on the sea and horses on land, and the logistics are extremely mobile, which is completely compared to the standard soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Hong sighed that a frontier general guarding the island not only raised nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, but also built so many warships, as well as so many weapons, and even equipped so many donkeys and horses. This guy's ambition is not small, if it weren't for the sudden rise of Shamen Town, with time, this guy might have the same ambition as Li Zheng back then.

It is worthy of Ziqing Town, which was once known as the strongest domain in the world, and it is indeed the richest place in the north. At that time, Li Zheng had already crossed the sea from western Liaoning to Shandong, and in a short period of time, he gathered 100,000 troops, and the world was strong. Now a small Da Xie Yan soldier can actually accumulate such strength in ten years, this territory is indeed rich.

"What about the merchants and people of the South Island?" Zhang Hong asked.

"After the thunder, you have to apply rain and dew, and the combination of grace and power is the king!" Li Jing pondered for a moment and said: "Kill what should be killed, dispose of what should be disposed of, the rest of the people and merchants, as long as they don't have much to do with Feng Zhang, don't dig too deep." Everything was according to the rules of the town of Shamen, and the people were registered and given identification cards. Merchants also have to register, be issued a business license, and in the future, as long as they pay taxes on time, serve on time, and abide by our rules, it will not be difficult for them. ”

Li Jing suddenly frowned, and Zhang Hong asked puzzledly: "General, we have won the Great Xie Qi, and we have obtained countless harvests, hundreds of thousands of stone grain, as well as more than 800,000 guan of money, millions of guan of silk and cloth, as well as the full warehouse of ordnance, and even thousands of donkeys and horses, why is the general not very interested?" ”

Li Jing smiled bitterly: "Of course I'm happy to have such a harvest, but it's also because it's a big harvest, so do you think we can eat these things?" ”

"What does the general mean?" Zhang Hong's face changed, and he asked anxiously.

"Da Xie Yan is not an ordinary military town, this is a fertile and oily territory that controls Dengzhou Port, and even Dengzhou Sailor and Dengzhou are not as close to the water as Da Xie Li. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a territory? Didn't you see that Song Xi came with 2,000 soldiers before, you thought he was really just here to reinforce us, didn't he think about taking the opportunity to occupy Da Xie Yan? Although we have taken the first step, but the dust is still unsettled, and it is still a question whether we can eat this big thank you. ”

"It's still unknown whether we can take it, do you think we can swallow these huge loot in one bite. At the moment, I don't know how many people are staring at us, and those who eat alone will not end well. ”

"Is the general going to give away these spoils of war?" Zhang Hong said in a trembling voice, "General, this is worth millions of pieces of loot." Such a good thing may never happen again. Even if the entire Dengzhou City is knocked down, it is estimated that there will not be many belongings of Fengzhang. ”

"A snake can swallow an elephant, but if he swallows several elephants, the snake can die. If we are reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, if we are reluctant to give up these loot, then we will not even be able to hold on to Da Xie Yan at that time. Li Jing sighed, "Of course, we won't give it up in vain, let's take the initiative to give it away." Let's take a good look at how to send it and how to send it. We're going to have to get everybody's share, shut everyone's mouths, and make them happy. I have to find a way to not really spit out all the meat that reaches my mouth. ”

Zhang Hong drooped his head, several wrinkles on his forehead were deeply wrinkled, crying and mourning like a dead father, and sighed: "This share of spoils must not only satisfy all parties, but also not let us lose too much, general, you have given me a big problem." ”

"You're the steward, it's your duty." Li Jing smiled bitterly, "By the way, remember to bring Zhang Jianjun to discuss together, the emperor's share must not be missing, not only can it not be missing, but it must also be the one with the most share."
