Chapter 17 Cleansing of Liaodong County

Compared with crossing such a large no-man's land, it is more in line with Zhang Ju's interests to directly plunder the most elite and richest prefectures and counties in Youzhou, Dai County and other places, as well as Jizhou and other places.

Zhang Ju this goods, there is not much strength, but the cowhide is very big. There is not even a single elite soldier in his hand, only 9,000 soldiers, and the rest of the more than 100,000 are all forcibly recruited people, and they are all indiscriminate people.

In Feng Ye's eyes, in terms of combat effectiveness, Zhang Ju is a scumbag. But this product still likes to die, and only has one point of ability, but he wants to brag about it for ten points.

Isn't it a typical death because of his lack of strength, but he still makes such a big noise? Is it just to make the imperial court look down on him? So that he can send a powerful army that can directly beat him to scum?

Feng Ye couldn't figure out the significance of Zhang Ju's operation no matter what.

Feng Ye felt that Zhang Ju's goods were simply a pig, with a swollen face and a fat man, and kept shouting to the master: "Come and kill me." I'm already so fat. If you don't come to kill me, you'll smash your pigsty." ”

In Feng Ye's eyes, Zhang Ju is such a fool, he has no brains at all. However, Zhang Ju thinks that he is very smart, and if he does not create enough momentum, how can he be called the emperor? How can he return to the heart of the world if he is not called the emperor?

In Zhang Ju's eyes, a talent like Feng Ye is a small family, worthy of being born with mud legs, and he has no knowledge at all. After occupying four deserted and uninhabited counties, he no longer had the ambition to be aggressive.

There is nothing to do in a lifetime, even if it is a momentary fluke, it can be successful, but in the end it is just the life of a small warlord. Only he is the true son of destiny.

No matter what Zhang Ju thought, Feng Ye regarded Zhang Ju, a fool, as a barrier for himself to defend against the imperial court. With this fool in front, Feng Ye's side has developed, but he can rest easy, and he is no longer afraid of the blows from the imperial court.

Since March, Feng Ye's side has begun to reclaim wasteland on a large scale, and the plant growth medicine is limited, and it is still possible to save the emergency at a critical moment, but you can't always count on this thing.

At this time, Feng Ye's previous efforts to advocate large-scale population gathering were revealed. Cultivated wasteland, after five years of cultivation, the land belongs to the individual.

In the eyes of the broad masses of the people, what is the difference between this land and what it has been given for free? Every household has worked hard to reclaim wasteland. Then Feng Ye made another announcement.

The policy of land reclamation applies to everyone, as long as they are willing to open up the land, the Liaodong General's Mansion will borrow cattle, farm tools, seeds, tools, and other necessities for land reclamation.

Moreover, Feng Ye also specially sent people to publicize among the tenants of the big landlord's family. Which of those landless tenants did not want to own their own land?

One by one, they enthusiastically chose to open up the wasteland, and many people who were hidden by the powerful took the initiative to go to the government for help, wanting to open up the wasteland and farm.

As soon as this policy came out, the previous few Haoqiang who refused to stand up for Feng Ye were suddenly dumbfounded. These landlords are strong, how can they become masters?

It's not just that they rely on monopolizing land resources, and those few are strong, and any of them have more than 10,000 acres of land. People who don't even have 10,000 acres of land are embarrassed to be called Haoqiang?

Seeing that spring ploughing was about to begin, all the tenants ran away. What should we do with so many acres of land? Who will we go to plant them? Rely on the little manpower in our own family? Don't talk nonsense, the whole family, men, women, and children are all in battle, and they can't plant so much land when they are tired.

At the beginning, it was these heroes who played non-violent and non-cooperative with Feng Ye one by one, they thought that Feng Ye would not be able to play without them. If you want to make a difference, you have to rely on them.

As long as Feng Ye came to the door and personally invited them to come out to be officials, they could take the opportunity to put forward conditions. Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that they were not optimistic about Feng Ye's background at the beginning.

Now Feng Ye's revenge is coming, and it is directly a trick to draw salary. That's not all, Feng Ye directly announced the abolition of domestic slavery, and all human trafficking is illegal.

All deeds of sale are null and void, and all domestic slaves are unconditionally freed without paying any price. This time, not to mention the tenants, even the house slaves are almost gone.

The families of the heroes have completely become lonely, and even the house slaves and dogs who follow them on weekdays have disappeared one by one and gone to open up the wasteland and farm.

Except for a few who are servile and consciously slaves are better than farming, and are still with the side of the master's family, most of them have run away.

Those powerful landlords could never have imagined that Feng Ye would actually use this method to take revenge on them. It is better to let more than 100,000 acres of fields be barren than to let them have a good time.

Feng Ye collects taxes according to the land, the land is there, it is casual whether you plant it or not, but you must pay taxes to me per mu of land. If you don't pay taxes, you will directly confiscate the fields.

If it goes on like this, it won't take three years, and all of these heroes will have to go bankrupt and become mud legs in their mouths.

The Ma family, the Tian family, the Lang family, and several families got together again, but this time when they went to the meeting, they seemed to have no cards.

Originally, when these landlords and powerful people gathered together, it must have been a group of slaves, hugging each other. But at this gathering, these landlords and powerful family owners were particularly shabby.

Not to mention that there is no slave left, and even the clothes that have been passed down are crooked and dirty. Where can these superior people do such a job as washing clothes? Even when they wear clothes, someone will wear them on weekdays.

Now, who are they going to find? Everyone is busy clearing the wasteland, and even if they are willing to spend money to hire people, then no one will be willing to take over the work until the spring ploughing has passed.

"Feng Ye's traitors are really too much, this is a deliberate intention not to give us a way to live!Brother Li, how is the contact with the imperial court? The imperial court can send troops to exterminate these rebels!"

"Hey, this mountain is high and the emperor is far away, plus Zhang Ju's rebellion, and the army of the imperial court is blocked to the death on the side of Yuyang County, and we have a court whip here that is beyond the reach of the whip!" said the head of the Lang family with a sigh.

"Brother Tian, your family has always been friendly with the Wuhuan people, why don't we join forces to contribute, please come over. Since Feng Ye is a traitor who doesn't give us a way to live, let's just fight to the death with him. The head of the Ma family said fiercely.

"Wuhuan people, the last time they fought against Feng Ye's traitors, they suffered a big loss, these Wuhuan people were scared, and they didn't have enough benefits, I was afraid that they wouldn't dare to come over easily. The head of the Tian family said depressedly.

"As long as we can exterminate Feng Ye's traitors, no matter how big the benefits are, our families, if we get together, we can get them. What do you think?" said the head of the Ma family fiercely.

"It's not impossible, I heard that the Wuhuan people are short of food, so as long as they are willing to come, the grain and grass consumed this time will be provided by our Lang family. The head of the Lang family said with a painful face.

Their Lang family is the largest landlord in the entire Liaodong County. There are more than 100,000 acres of fertile land in Liaodong County. So as soon as Feng Ye's reclamation policy came out this time, their family suffered the most.

"In that case, then our Ma family is willing to produce a hundred iron armors. The head of the Ma family was also in pain, and took out his own family background. This year, a pair of iron armor is a good thing worth a lot of dollars.

"Okay, then I'll go and contact Lord Qiu Liju and pay to lure Wuhuan to attack Liaodong County. The head of the Tian family said.

Soon, these big wealthy families took the lead and connected the various landlords of the four counties under Feng Ye's command, these iron roosters who were usually unstoppable, and now they took out the money, which was really a boldness.

It can be seen that Feng Ye's reclamation policy really hurt them. Only let them feel the pain of the skin. They will be so active in contributing money and efforts to invite Wuhuan people to come over.

In fact, this is also one of Feng Ye's plans, he originally wanted to take revenge on those landlords and heroes, and by the way, see how much power these landlords and heroes have.

Therefore, the heads of these powerful families are all under Feng Ye's surveillance. Feng Ye also had the heart, wanting to see how many forces still wanted to resist him under his rule.

It was just this opportunity to sweep away all the resistance forces in the entire four counties of Liaodong. lest when you really face a strong enemy in the future, you will be stabbed in the back by these people.

Now through a policy to blow them all up, Feng Ye is still quite satisfied, especially when he heard that these people are ready to invite Wuhuan to send troops.

Feng Ye was even more happy, although Zhao Yun's skills were extraordinary, but a soldier who had not experienced the excess, no matter how long he trained, he would be considered a recruit. Only by experiencing the test of war can you become a qualified general.

These Wuhuan people are just used to practice Zhao Yun's hands, so that he can see blood, so that he can truly grow into the one in Feng Ye's memory, Zhao Zilong, a white horse and a silver gun.

Similarly, in Feng Ye's heart, he has also divided these landlords into the ranks of the enemy. Just wait for these people to achieve their goal and attract the Wuhuan army, it is the time when these landlords are strong and killed.

With the greed of the Wuhuan people, coupled with the promises made by those landlords to the Wuhuan people, the pie was drawn. How can you not be impressed?

The young and strong people among the Wuhuan tribes on this grassland gradually began to gather. Under the guidance of Qiu Liju, Lord Wuhuan, they slowly gathered together, and soon, the Wuhuan people gathered more than 30,000 troops.

Now that the Wuhuan people have begun to assemble, it means that this invasion can no longer be stopped. Feng Ye ordered the local governments to arrest the landlords and heroes who were connected in series.

All those who participated in the collusion with Wuhuan were all raided and exterminated. The amount of food and money alone is already astronomical. Feng Ye also didn't expect that in this situation of a large-scale food shortage across the country.

This is a local turtle tycoon in Liaodong County, and he can actually take out such a large sum of grain at one time.
