Chapter 626: Annexation and Expansion
After having Xu Ming's approval, Zhao Hu did not hesitate or hesitate at all, and immediately dispatched elite guards, holding the contract signed by the weapon merchant and the iron ore merchant, to find the door of the weapon merchant and the iron ore merchant, and take all the industries under the weapon merchant and the iron ore merchant as his own.
Under the threat of heavily armed elite guards and the constraints of contracts, the families of weapons merchants and iron ore merchants had to give up their property and let Zhao Hu's elite guards take over their own property.
When the elite guards under his command successfully took over the industries under the command of the arms merchant and the iron ore merchant, Zhao Hu rushed straight to the door of the Wang family with a hundred fully armed elite guards.
"Who are you, what are you doing at our Wang family?" Looking at the hundreds of elite guards who were fully armed, the gatekeeper of the Wang family's face changed greatly, his eyes were full of vigilance, and he asked loudly.
"This is a contract signed by Wang Qifei, the head of your Wang family, and all the properties of your Wang family are unconditionally given to my father Zhao Kun, so please come forward and hand over all the properties of your Wang family!" Glancing at the gatekeeper with a vigilant face, Zhao Hu said with a calm face.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Our lord of the family, how could he give away our royal family's property, this is simply impossible! Hearing Zhao Hu's words, the gatekeeper's face changed wildly, and he immediately retorted loudly, and immediately sounded the alarm.
Bite! Bite! Bite!
A crisp sound of alarm bells came from the gate of the Wang family, and it clearly reached the ears of every Wang family, and a member of the Wang family poured out of the mansion, blocking Zhao Hu and a hundred elite guards outside the door of the Wang family.
"Which of you is the one in charge?" Looking at the people of the Wang family who were crowded at the door of the Wang family, Zhao Hu asked with a calm face.
"I'm the head of the Wang family, what do you want to do?" Hearing Zhao Hu's words, a middle-aged man came out of the crowd, glanced at the hundred elite guards behind Zhao Hu with a vigilant face, and shouted loudly.
"This is the contract signed by Wang Qifei, the head of your Wang family, I hope that your Wang family can hand over all the properties immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for forcibly accepting it!" Glancing at the middle-aged man, Zhao Hu said with a calm face, and handed over the contract signed by Wang Qifei.
Although Wang Qifei committed suicide, Zhao Hu did not let him go, directly picked up his finger and pressed a handprint on the contract, which was considered to have completed the contract.
After taking the contract from Zhao Hu's hand, seeing the contents of the contract, and seeing the bright red handprints on the contract, the middle-aged man's face changed greatly, his eyes were blood-red, he stared at Zhao Hu deadly, and asked loudly: "Where is my father!" ”
The middle-aged man is Wang Qifei's son, and he is very clear about his father Wang Qifei's actions, and knows that Wang Qifei led a team to attack the Zhao family's steel factory.
At this moment, his father Wang Qifei had no news, but the Zhao family came to the door and asked for their Wang family's property, and he knew that your father Wang Qifei's action had failed, and even his father had died tragically in the palm of the Zhao family.
"Your father left after signing the deed, and I don't know where he went! Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, hurry up and hand over your Wang family's property, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind! Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Zhao Hu shrugged his shoulders and said with a calm face.
"You want our Zhao family's property, there is no door! Let me tell you, if my father has any three long and two short, I want all of you Zhao family to accompany my father to the funeral! Hearing Zhao Hu's words, and seeing the calm look on Zhao Hu's face, the middle-aged man looked at Zhao Hu with a cold look and shouted loudly.
"Since you are obsessed, then I have no choice but to forcibly take over your Wang family's property!" Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Zhao Hu said with a calm face, and waved his hand, signaling the hundred elite guards behind him to start moving.
The hundred elite guards who received Zhao Hu's signal, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, immediately pulled out the sharp weapons on their waists, and murderously pushed away the people of the Wang family who were crowded in front of the Wang family's house, and drove the people of the Wang family out of the courtyard of the Wang family.
For the mastermind of the Wang family, Zhao Hu did not have the slightest softness, and directly took all the properties of the Wang family, including the Wang family's mansion, as his own, leaving the people of the Wang family homeless.
In the face of the hundreds of elite guards who were fully armed, armed with sharp weapons, and murderous, although the people of the Wang family were extremely angry, they did not dare to resist forcibly, so they could only let the hundred elite guards drive them out of the Wang family's mansion.
Seeing that everyone in the Wang family did not dare to resist, a trace of disappointment flashed in Zhao Hu's eyes, and he left the Wang family's mansion with several elite guards and returned in the direction of the Zhao family's weapons shop.
Since everyone in the Wang family did not dare to resist, and Zhao Hu could not kill all the people of the Wang family, there was no need to waste time in the Wang family's mansion.
Under the threat of strong force from the elite guards, and with the acquiescence of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Hu successfully took over all the industries under the arms merchant and the iron ore merchant, and the industry under his command increased dramatically.
After taking over all the industries of the arms merchant and the iron ore merchant, Zhao Hu drove all the family members of the arms merchant and the iron ore merchant out of these industries and replaced them with a group of new people, and then temporarily ignored them.
After that, Zhao Hu, accompanied by a steward of the City Lord's Mansion, walked around the villages near Andy City, recruited a full 2,000 elite strong men, and prepared to train all these elite strong men into elite guards, increase the strength of the Zhao family, and prepare for possible crises in the future.
Regarding Zhao Hu's recruitment of 2,000 guards in one go, Xu Ming did not interfere, but turned a blind eye, ignored Zhao Hu, and let Zhao Hu go to the villages near Andy City to recruit guards.
The Zhao family has a steel mill that can produce high-quality weapons in large quantities, and it must be at the center of a huge vortex in the future, and if the Zhao family wants to protect itself, it must have a strong armed force.
At the same time, the Emerald Country does not have much restriction on private captive armed forces, as long as you don't rebel, only you have money, let alone you recruit 2,000 guards, even if you recruit 20,000 guards, the Emerald Country will not interfere, at most keep an eye on it.
For the Emerald Country, which has a population of thousands and an army of millions, a family with thousands of guards in captivity is not worth mentioning at all, and it is not an opponent of the imperial army at all.
Of course, if a certain family raises 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of guards in captivity, the upper echelons of the Emerald Kingdom will definitely interfere and destroy it with some crime, so as not to affect their own rule over the Emerald Country.
There are many families like Zhao Hu with thousands or even tens of thousands of guards in the Emerald Country, and the upper echelons of the Emerald Country will not interfere at all, nor can they interfere, because the scope is too wide, and it is very difficult for the upper echelons of the Emerald Country to interfere.
After all, the entire Emerald Country has the tradition and habit of keeping private soldiers in captivity, and almost every rich and powerful family will keep a group of private soldiers in captivity, once the upper echelons of the Emerald Country suppress a certain family and individual in the name of captive private soldiers, it will cause a strong counterattack from other families.
After recruiting 2,000 guards from the villages near Andy City, Zhao Hu brought these 2,000 guards to the training area of the steel mill and began to conduct strict military training for these 2,000 guards, so as to quickly strengthen the strength of the Wang family.
Zhao Hu's method of training the guards is very simple, that is, to improve the physical quality of the guards with medicinal diet, so that the guards have a physical quality beyond ordinary people, and teach the guards some methods of exercising and cultivating, so that the guards can use reasonable and effective methods to exercise their bodies and improve their combat effectiveness.
At the same time, Zhao Hu also selected 100 intelligent people from the 2,000 guards to focus on training as officers, in addition to giving the best treatment and training, he also taught various war strategies and skills, so that these people have a certain knowledge of war.
Of course, in addition to imparting the knowledge of improving the combat effectiveness of the guards and allowing the guards to have a certain combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, Zhao Hu also deliberately strengthened the loyalty education of the guards, so that the guards were loyal to himself and the Zhao family.
Because of the short time, Zhao Hu even hypnotized the 2,000 guards under his command several times, instilling in their subconscious the belief that they were loyal to the Zhao family.
Time flies by like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
In the past month, the high-quality weapons produced by the Zhao Clan's Weapons Shop began to flow into various provinces and cities in the Emerald Country, and all the people in Andy City who bought the high-quality weapons of the Zhao Clan's Weapon Shop made a large amount of money from them, earning hundreds of taels or even tens of thousands of taels of silver.
At the same time, as the weapons produced by the Zhao Clan's Weapon Shop flowed into the various provinces and cities of the Emerald Country, the Zhao Clan's Weapon Shop and the Zhao family also began to enter the eyes of powerful families in various provinces and cities of the Emerald Country.
Some powerful families who are weak and unable to pose a threat to the Zhao family want to get in touch with the Zhao family and earn a huge amount of benefits from it.
