Now you Shucun only have two choices, one is to surrender directly to me, when I am the direct leader of the Zhao family, the other is to resist, I will completely exterminate Shucun! I don't believe that after killing hundreds of young people like you, your tree village is still qualified to exist! ”

As soon as Zhao Hu's words came out, not only the head of the village trembled, but all the people in the tree village trembled, especially the hundreds of young men who were tied up and knelt on the ground, and struggled in panic, and only after a burst of punches and kicks from the soldiers did they resign themselves to kneeling on the ground.

Seeing that the head of the village hesitated, Zhao Hu continued to say loudly: "Don't think about some messy things, tell you, it turns out that the fishing village that is like you and only needs to pay tribute has completely surrendered to me and become my direct leader of the village, and the village head Yang Ming and his three leaders have directly become the retainers and warriors of my Zhao family!" ”

Retainer samurai?! Hearing this, the head of the village and a few strong men with swords immediately emitted a scorching light in their eyes, but this light was quickly suppressed, and everyone looked at the head of the village.

The head of this village may have the idea of wanting to be a local tyrant, but the people under his command are all logging for a living, and because of the relationship of the work area, they are divided into several factions, and he is only one of the more powerful factions in the village.

At the beginning, he still had the intention of raiding Zhao Hu and regaining the youth, but when he got closer, Zhao Hu's soldiers were more elite than all the lord armies he had ever seen.

After having a feeling, he naturally understood that the dozens of young men he brought out were probably not enough for the other party to rush and kill. And after deducting the hundred or so trapped young people, the young people in the village are reduced by two-thirds, and if these people are killed, the entire village will be finished.

The women and children will definitely be relocated to other villages, and the tree village will cease to exist. Maybe there will be a tree village rebuilt in the future because of logging, but that has nothing to do with me.

The people of this world are accustomed to surrendering to the strong, and surrendering this today, surrendering to that tomorrow, they only need to save their lives, and they do it without obstacles, and they also look above board, saying that this is the way to protect themselves from the weak.

The guys who have never been the boss don't have any psychological pressure and psychological barriers to surrender, especially in terms of interests, and these leaders don't make much money.

After all, just like the Alliance, even if they are the leaders, they need to cut down the trees themselves, and they just have to share a few pennies from the people to whom they belong to their factions.

In the past, they wanted to be independent, but because they didn't know Zhao Hu's ability, they deliberately belittled it when Linhe Hall sent people to promote the new master, so that they had the illusion that they could be independent.

But now that he saw that Zhao Hu's soldiers were so elite, and he had captured so many of his young men in an instant, he didn't have to think much about the result.

So the head of the village just hesitated, asked for a discussion with a few subordinates, and then came over and knelt directly on the ground to express his willingness to surrender to Zhao Hu and become the direct leader of the Zhao family.

When these guys bowed down to Zhao Hu and surrendered, as Zhao Hu thought, there was an extra grove of groves in the planting space, and then Zhao Hu could understand that this extra gadget could make him an extra 10,000 catties of wood every year.

Zhao Hu didn't think much of this number, and he didn't deal with it immediately, but instead talked to Mu Liang, who had just become a samurai, well, that is, the head of Shucun. After greeting the novices for a while, they went to the best houses in the tree village and settled down for the time being, and the captured young men were also liberated.

As for fear of their betrayal? Besieged by them? The people of this era are very simple, since they surrendered in front of everyone's eyes before, and the people have recognized the existence of Zhao Hu, the new lord, then even if Mu Liang and them want to rebel, the young people in the village will not follow suit. Maybe they will be arrested and sent to Zhao Hu in exchange for a reward.

The reason for this, in addition to the problem of seeking stability in the hearts of the people, is that Mu Liang and them are actually an alliance of gang members, there is no loyal retainer group, and the villagers are not their leaders, but the identities of the two sides are almost the same, and they will not follow the mind at all.

On the contrary, Zhao Hu, who determined the identity of the lord, if he raised the flag to rebel against the Ling family, the fishing village and the current tree village would follow Zhao Hu to rebel against the Ling family.

What's more important is that several leaders have become samurai, and the five-stone warriors who have not yet reached a gap, they are not very united, and they have begun to fight openly and secretly, and they are all thinking about settling with Zhao Hu. Where would you think of rebellion?

The soldiers under Zhao Hu's command obviously knew about these things, and they all entered the tree village unguarded. Automatically took over the protection of the tree village.

Zhao Hu saw the envy and jealousy of these soldiers for Mu Liang and the others, and knew that they aspired to become samurai, but this time the conquest of Shucun did not fight at all, it was completely relied on deterrence, and no one made any military achievements to become samurai.

As for the credit for capturing a couple of lumberjacks? No one was embarrassed to talk about it, so they could only watch with some resentment as those original enemies became samurai. And he is back to the ground.

Zhao Hu naturally knew that it would not work like this, so he immediately gathered all the soldiers: "You performed very well in this battle!" Your squad is doing better. Again, although the battle was not fierce, it was meritorious.

In order to reward you for your hard work in following orders, 14 squads will be awarded five-stone samurai, and the rest of the soldiers will be rewarded as one-stone samurai. If you want to become a ten-stone samurai and a five-stone samurai, then it's up to you to perform in the next battle for the mining village! ”

Finally a samurai! The twelve squads immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Thank you, Lord for your reward!" The minister swears allegiance to the Zhao family! ”

And those soldiers, although they are a little unhappy with the name of the one-stone samurai, but even if the reward is small, they are still samurai, right? And didn't you listen to what the lord said, watch the next battle? As long as the mining village is conquered, the squad will definitely become a ten-stone warrior directly. And these people themselves must have become five-stone warriors!

So they naturally followed the team to look at Zhao Hu and bow down and shout to the lord to show their loyalty. Only the two money and food clerks were a little stunned, and when they heard that Zhao Hu was canonized as a warrior, they subconsciously calculated how many samurai uniforms they needed.

How to allocate land is in the best interest of the Zhao family. can be counted, only to be shocked to find that the adult is talking about 14 squad leaders, but now there are only 12 squad leaders, and there are two more?

When they reacted, they immediately rushed to the team like a vicious dog. Excitedly, he knelt down and saluted Zhao Hu.

In order to win people's hearts, Zhao Hu did not go to the mining village immediately. Instead, he ordered people to go to the fishing village to transport a batch of copper coins and rice, and at the same time let all the young people in the fishing village gather over.

After spending most of the day, when the materials and manpower arrived, Zhao Hu rewarded Shucun again, that is, two copper plates and one liter of rice per person, regardless of men, women and children. The villagers who received these rewards naturally shouted for the Zhao family's prince Wandai, and Zhao Hu also nodded with satisfaction.

This reward for all people is not just to buy people's hearts, after all, this thing is only a little bit, only enough for everyone to save a few meals, and a liter of rice can be eaten for a few days when exchanged for corn.

But this kind of action, especially after those people accept the reward and cheer, will give these people a subconscious psychological impression that Zhao Hu is their lord and the Zhao family is the master of this land.

With this psychological impression, no matter what Zhao Hu does in this land in the future, he will be justified, and the people will subconsciously obey and recognize. It's hard to get stuck up and down like this, and it's hard to get it smooth.

Zhao Hu was also very generous, boiling dozens of pots of corn that had been transported, with pickled radishes and salted fish, and a large number of people ate and drank, and then Zhao Hu began to count the young people in Shu Village.

It is worthy of being a tree village, all of which are lumberjacks' materials, and nearly 200 young people who can carry bamboo guns as peasant soldiers have been counted, plus the young people who come from the fishing village, nearly 300 people. In the end, with the addition of Zhao Hu's sixty low-level warriors, it became a small army formation of more than 350 people.

Zhao Hu continued to organize and let those one-stone warriors each lead 4 peasant soldiers, these one-stone warriors had been culturally educated by Zhao Hu before, and had undergone strict military training, where could they not deal with 4 peasant soldiers?

So after a while, twelve neat phalanxes of 20 people appeared in front of everyone. As for those twelve 5-stone samurai? It's easier for them to continue with the previous four men.

As for the extra peasant soldiers, that is, the weaker ones, they were divided among the samurai of several fishing villages and tree villages who had joined the service. Of course, there were also two money and grain samurai who also led the troops, but they were logistics soldiers, and they continued to lead the strong women whose numbers had been greatly expanded.

Seeing that the formation was complete, Zhao Hu waved his hand: "Target Mining Village!" The first person to lead out of the tree village, the others naturally followed behind Zhao Hu in neat steps under the reprimand of the samurai.

As for the upcoming autumn harvest, will there be a problem with mobilizing peasant soldiers? Don't forget who the peasant soldiers recruited by Zhao Hu are, either the fishing village or the young and strong people of the tree village, they are all guys who can work around the clock, and they will not be limited by the autumn harvest season.

Therefore, the autumn harvest or not the autumn harvest has no effect on these young men at all, on the contrary, they are all gearing up to perform well when attacking the mining village, and if they don't see the soldiers of the previous lord, can they easily get the reward of knowing and doing with one stone? Even after fighting the mining village, these one-stone samurai will become five-stone samurai and become real samurai!
