Chapter 50: The Aftermath
In the sky above Xiaomeng City, black smoke filled the air. All the trading houses and mansions in the city were looted by the city guards. A large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were piled up on the grounds of the city guard military academy, and the sweaty old black was distributing these things evenly according to the number of people at the head of each battalion of the city guard.
Whether it is a general, a lieutenant, a lieutenant, or a small soldier, these gold, silver and jewels are distributed evenly according to the heads. Heavy gold beads, silver ingots, large strings of copper coins, crystal smooth pearls, sparkling gems, expensive fur silk, rare elixir spirit stones. Dozens of hunters, the most experienced veterans of the herb pickers, estimated the value of these things on the spot, and then distributed them equally.
Whether it is officers or non-commissioned officers, holding a large pile of huge wealth that they have worked hard for decades and cannot earn back, they looked at Lu Chengfeng standing on the parade platform on the school field with red eyes and shouted 'Long live'. The cry of 'serving the prince to death' resounded in the sky, and the morale, blood and ambition of the 28,000 city guard soldiers were simply boiling, at this moment, even if the monarch of the Lu State was in front of him, he would be torn apart by this group of crazy soldiers.
Beg led a team of soldiers, hurriedly packed up the corpses all over the street, and transported them to the mountains and forests outside the city. In just one night, these thousands of corpses will be gnawed clean by the wild beasts of the mountains and forests, and not even a single hair will be left.
Hundreds of wealthy merchants who were doing business in Xiaomeng City were slaughtered by the mad city guards, and they were really left behind, and they were killed cleanly. From Liu Zhong, who was chopped into meat sauce, he found the pleadings signed by these rich businessmen, and basically all the rich businessmen stood on the opposite side of Lu Chengfeng and cooperated with Liu Zhong to sue Lu Chengfeng.
Seeing another cart of corpses being pushed out of Xiaomeng City, Don't beg to fold his hands and chant 'Amitabha Buddha' a few times without sincerity. "Die early and be born early, don't stay in the world and become a demon. That's it for you in this life, and in the next life, strive to be a happy person!"
Zhang Hu on the side looked at Beg in surprise: "Brother Beggar, what does 'Amitabha Buddha' mean?"
He glanced at Zhang Hu in even more surprise, and the people here don't know what 'Amitabha Buddha' means? Don't blink his eyes, and explain to Zhang Hu very seriously: "It's not interesting, it's purely my mantra, it's no different from 'fuck your mother'." ”
Zhang Hu nodded suddenly in realization, he looked at another car of corpses that were pushed out of the city, and nodded with a cruel smile: "Amitabha!"
The fire in Xiaomeng City burned for two days and two nights before it gradually subsided. All the rich merchants in the city, along with all the servants and guards, were purged, and all the guards of Liu Suifeng were also killed one by one. The city wall of Xiaomeng City was knocked open by Beg and his people more than a dozen gaps, and those shoddy weapons and armor were thrown to the ground.
The treasury of the barbarian house of the Dianjun Mansion was opened, and the head of the barbarian paid by the Mengcun people a while ago was taken out. The barbarian heads, which had been pickled in lime and herbs for so many days, were almost dried into skulls and hung in rows on the city's head, showing the people as evidence of the barbarian invasion.
As for the barbarians who invaded two nights ago, why their severed heads shriveled and shriveled up so quickly, Beqi did not explain this question, and no resident of Xiaomeng City was stupid enough to ask Beg about this topic.
In short, Xiaomeng City was once again invaded by barbarians, the outer wall of the city was breached, all the guards of Yihou Liu Suifeng were killed, the rich merchants in the city were looted, and all the warehouses in Xiaomeng City were also robbed by barbarians. Lu Chengfeng showed the royal capital that the document had been sent with a 'fast horse' of 'two hundred miles expedited', and after about two or three months, this document could always be delivered to the royal capital.
As for whether Liu Suifeng's bones can be taken out to make soup after two or three months, Don Beg didn't mention this stubble, and Lu Chengfeng didn't take this matter to heart. There was a buffer period of two or three months, and all traces were covered up.
In the process of Liu Zhong's framing of Lu Chengfeng, the generals of the former city guards conspired with Liu Zhong, and all the generals and their relatives were also completely purged. Under the coercion and temptation of Liu Zhong's power, all the officials in Xiaomengcheng also signed jointly on the framing documents, and these officials were also killed by the barbarians, and all the officials were replaced by the new disciples recruited by Lu Chengfeng.
Within three days, all the power in Xiaomengcheng was in the hands of Lu Chengfeng, and all the official positions were held by Lu Chengfeng.
28,000 city guards entered Xiaomeng City, 8,000 were the city guards of Xiaomeng City, and 12,000 were nominally assigned to Lu Chengfeng's personal soldiers to guard the city, and finally 8,000 soldiers simply turned into a team of 8,000 hunters under the leadership of an old brother of Zhang Hu. The 8,000-strong barbarian hunter team is probably the largest barbarian hunter team in history.
Whether it was Lu Chengfeng's doorman or the 28,000 city guard soldiers, everyone from top to bottom was fed with gold, silver and jewelry by Lu Chengfeng, and everyone's hands were stained with the blood of those rich merchants, former city guard generals and many former officials of Xiaomengcheng, and everyone got on Lu Chengfeng's thief ship, so they could only follow him with all their hearts.
On the third day after the 'Barbarians Broke the City', Lao Hei led a group of forcibly recruited men to start building the ruined walls of Xiaomeng City. And Lu Chengfeng summoned the heads of the local clans who were born and raised in Xiaomeng City, including several clan elders in Mengcun.
A wooden case was placed upright in the lobby, and Lu Chengfeng, who was wearing a gorgeous robe, knelt behind the case, and looked at the many clan leaders kneeling in the hall with a smile. Although the elders and patriarchs of these clans are not as powerful as those foreign rich and wealthy businessmen, they represent tens of thousands of people born and raised in Xiaomengcheng, and they are the real land snakes in Xiaomengcheng.
Beg looked at these people in the lobby, and put the official documents on the case in front of them with a smile on his face.
"Patriarchs, clan elders and elders, what our son means is that Xiaomengcheng's losses this time are too great. Xiao Mengcheng's annual business dealings with the outside world can bring Xiao Mengchen huge tax profits! But all along, this amount of oil and water has been stripped away by those people!"
Coughing lightly, looking at the strange-looking clan leaders in the hall, Bei Qi sighed and said, "You are the natives of Xiaomeng City, and you have been rooted in Xiaomeng City for hundreds of years. But what have you gotten over the past few hundred years? At most, you can open a restaurant, open a restaurant, and let the women of the clan hold a cheap job in exchange for some money. Or, your sons join the ranks of barbarian hunters, medicine pickers, hunters, and prospectors, and live and die in the mountains of Mengshan in exchange for a small commission. ”
"But those rich merchants from outside, they buy the treasures that your children have worked so hard to obtain, as long as they are transported out of Xiaomeng City, it is a huge sum of money that is enough for your whole clan to eat and drink for more than ten years. They will give you a few coins of copper in your left hand, and a few minas of gold in your right hand. They have been oppressing you and oppressing you, and as the master of Xiaomeng City, you can't be the master of Xiaomeng City!"
An elder of Mengcun stood up, he bowed to Beqi, and said in a trembling voice: "Beggar, little brother, you are our own people in Mengcun." You said, what does Lu Gongzi want us to do, we have done it!"
Don't beg to smile, take a few steps back, and stand beside Lu Chengfeng.
Lu Chengfeng pressed his hands on the case, his body leaned forward slightly, and he shouted in a low and powerful voice: "All the indigenous clans of Xiaomeng City will follow this son from now on, and ride the wind to ensure that you will be rich forever." From now on, all the clans joined forces and established the Xiaomengcheng United Chamber of Commerce to completely control all the mountain treasure trade in Mengshan. ”
After patting the case hard, Lu Chengfeng shouted: "From today on, the fat of Mengshan is ours! In the future, you can also wear gold and silver, drink and be beautiful, sing songs every night, and swagger through the market with fresh clothes and angry horses." This is what Lu Chengfeng promised you, as long as you sign the document, be loyal to Lu, and be loyal to the Xiaomengcheng United Chamber of Commerce, it will definitely not be a problem. ”
As soon as Lu Chengfeng's words fell, Bei Qi coughed lightly: "Ah, everyone also knows that two days ago, the barbarians attacked Xiaomeng City, and there were heavy casualties in the city. Maybe in the past two days, the barbarians will go and return, this, if everyone here has three long and two short, then no one can guarantee it!"
This is a naked threat. The hearts of the people present are clear, if anyone does not sign this official document to pledge allegiance to Lu Chengfeng, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of destruction immediately. In Xiaomeng City, more than 20,000 heavily armed 'barbarian soldiers' are waiting to set fire to kill people.
Several clan elders in Mengcun were the most straightforward, they stood up, bit their thumbs, and neatly stamped their bloody fingerprints on the official documents. The eldest of them still recognized a few words, and wrote his name with a pen very awkwardly.
With Mengcun's example, which of the other clan leaders dared to disobey Lu Chengfeng, they all obediently stamped their blood fingerprints and signed their names.
Lu Chengfeng laughed loudly, he waved his hand, and laughed loudly: "Come on, serve wine, celebrate for all the patriarchs, clan elders, and elders!"
Beqi even let go of his applause, and he laughed loudly: "Okay, from now on we will be a family! Everyone, Beqi is here to wish you a prosperous business, a wide range of financial resources, and a prosperous family!"
Lu Chengfeng's henchman maid walked up quickly with a lacquer plate and handed bowls of wine to everyone present.
The laughter and the smell of wine were fragrant, and everyone drank it all, and then Beg took the lead, and everyone threw the wine bowl on the ground.
In this situation, there is a posture of the king of the mountain gathering righteousness and dividing the gold, drinking blood and drinking wine and worshipping the handle.
That night, under the persuasion of Beggar, Lu Quyuan expressed his allegiance to Lu Chengfeng with a loud cry, and signed an official document that once leaked, it would be enough for Lu Quyuan and his father to communicate with the enemy country.
With this official document in hand, the six young members of the Lu family were firmly tied to Lu Chengfeng's chariot.
Xiaomengcheng has completely become the world of Beqi and Lu Chengfeng.
