Chapter 161: Expansion 11
A county town is the largest city of the Zhao family, who dares to ask for this? A city built by the lord himself, the only city in the entire Tianlan Township, who would dare to ask for it?
If anyone dares to open his mouth, he will definitely be attacked by a crowd, you dare to ask for the city, what are you going to do? Want to rebel?
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Zhao Hu has just risen not long ago, and it is impossible for the retainers below to find a thousand stone knowledge, who would dare to be the city lord in luxury?
However, this problem will be a headache in the future.
Because after the capture of Donghai County, there are a large number of castles and fortresses.
The retainers below are all staring at each other, and how to divide the troops and send them to guard is a troublesome matter.
It was the city generation that was used to distribute five small cities. Zhao Hu had to pick out the five strongest and oldest retainers to serve as the retainers.
Zhao Hu has not yet appointed a thousand commanders, and there are fifty centurions, and there are many troubles here.
Of course, these are all complaints, and what Zhao Hu cares about is the change of the golden finger.
You must know that when he captured Linhe Village before, he exterminated the people of the Linhe Palace, and the entire village was under control, and Goldfinger did not approve of his rule over Linhe Village.
And after eliminating the coalition forces of Tianlan Township and completely occupying Tianlan Township, Goldfinger directly admitted his rule over Tianlan Township.
But when he occupied Ling Wu City, it was the second time he occupied it, and those Ling family concubines died of their hearts to regain Ling Wu City and concentrate on their own family, so Goldfinger admitted it.
This shows that Goldfinger's recognition of the territory is not that he thinks he will occupy it, but that it will be recognized after everyone recognizes it.
Then the question is, the five small cities that he occupies in Donghai County will definitely not be recognized by Donghai County, why is Goldfinger a little hesitant?
This is a shadowy display, obviously I want to admit it but don't want to admit it!
And just when Zhao Hu was thinking nonsense, the five small cities of the planting space stabilized, and when his mind probed over, he naturally knew how many materials these five small cities could produce for themselves every year.
This small city is different from Linhe City and Lingwu City, and there is no other production except food.
How did you recognize it all at once?
Zhao Hu was a little puzzled, why did he recognize it so much?
But he immediately realized, because compared with before, these five small cities not only hoarded a large number of soldiers and people, but also hoarded a large number of materials.
Obviously, it should be their own population and materials that exceed the critical point of the small city, so the small city becomes their own territory.
That's right, that's how it should be, with the troops and supplies he has hoarded in the five small cities, who else can snatch these five small cities? It's not mine, it's mine!
After understanding this, Zhao Hu couldn't help but feel a little moved, because he knew that this method could be approved by the golden finger in advance, wouldn't it mean that he could mobilize people and materials to capture a city before the autumn harvest?
If you get the approval of the golden finger, then you can add a batch of materials out of thin air during the autumn harvest, and then you can draw back the people and materials.
Hee-hee, this way you can get a supply out of thin air, and you're not afraid of pulling too many troops and causing problems.
After all, this kind of city that chooses to cheat must be very wealthy, and it can't be occupied for a long time for the time being.
Maybe you can take this opportunity to pit those guys who think they don't have enough troops.
Zhao Hu, who was thinking of these Yin people's schemes, indifferently asked his subordinates to arrange a courtyard for him.
Just after entering this courtyard and staying, the figure of a kneeling killer slowly appeared three meters away from him.
After his body stabilized, the killer said respectfully: "Lord, Wang Rui and other adults came to meet with their captures. ”
"Oh? Wang Rui, they're here, okay, let them in. Zhao Hu nodded and said.
And when Zhao Hu's words fell, Wang Rui and other high-level assassin killers, the kneeling figure slowly appeared four or five meters away.
Wang Rui's strength naturally could appear directly in front of Zhao Hu without alarming the killers guarding Zhao Hu's surroundings.
But they are not personal guards now, and if they dare to appear in front of Zhao Hu so suddenly, I am afraid that they will be attacked by personal killers immediately!
This is the rule, without waiting for the report to appear directly in front of Zhao Hu, is that preparing to assassinate? Or what?
Even those personal killers who can appear at any time have to slowly show their bodies three meters away, deeply intimidating Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu may not care, but the lurking killers are all staring at him.
"The minister has met the lord and disappointed the lord, please punish the lord." Although it was a plea, Wang Rui was willing to do it.
It's very simple, because they can call themselves vassals, and there are a few killers who can enjoy such treatment!
"It's okay, it's all a non-war crime." Zhao Hu waved his hand indifferently, but his interest was on the dozens of heads that Wang Rui and they had in front of them.
"This is your capture this time, let's present them one by one." Although Zhao Hu didn't think so, inspecting the head was not only a procedure to determine the merits of his subordinates, but also to determine whether the enemy was really dead.
It is also a kind of rules, so Zhao Hu can only act according to the rules.
As soon as Zhao Hu said this, several attendants immediately carried small copywriting and pen, ink and paper on the side, sat down and held the pen and waited.
Wang Rui, as the spokesperson of this killer, naturally moved to Zhao Hu and sat on his side, looking ready to introduce. The other killers stepped forward one by one in order to hold the first-level boxes for Zhao Hu to watch.
Looking at the hideous heads, listening to Wang Rui's introduction of the identity of the heads, the attendants on the side were writing records, and Zhao Hu nodded indifferently.
But I was tired for a while, what is so good about this disgusting thing? It is said that some families will pry open the skull of the enemy's head and inlay it with gold and silver as a wine cup, which is really disgusting.
Zhao Hu didn't like this very much, and the killers and attendants who were extremely powerful in his words and expressions naturally sped up. In the end, all the heads were inspected, and the names and identities of the heads were recorded by the attendants one by one.
This is a very important joint, that is, it is a fake meritorious, as long as it can be hidden forever, it is naturally fine.
But if the person who obviously hung up is still alive, then this document is evidence, and it must be found out that the head of the capture is a stand-in? Or a fake feat. It was the stand-in that was killed, and the most that was scolded was given, and the previous reward was withdrawn.
But if it is a fake meritorious service, it will be a catastrophe, and it is possible to force him to commit suicide and deprive him of his samurai status!
Of course, this is also a requirement that only a family with strict rules will require, and the average family just gets by.
Anyway, this kind of first-level harvest is generally rewarded with some money and food, and there are few rewards for knowledge and deeds.
And money and food, even if it is counterfeit, will be reprimanded at most, and it is not a felony.
But Zhao Hu is different here, Zhao Hu has the merit of rewarding money and food here, but it is more about rewarding knowledge and action.
Since it is related to something like Zhixing that can be passed down from generation to generation, it is natural to be extraordinarily strict when determining merit.
The killers naturally knew the rules of the Zhao family, so they all watched with a blank eye as the attendant gave the documents to Zhao Hu to browse.
Because as long as the lord signs and seals, then he has determined the merits established by these killers, that is, everything is fine.
As for the reward or something, there is no need for Zhao Hu, the lord, to give an order, the signed document will be sent to the government administration department, and then the government affairs department will automatically divide the land for these meritorious people according to the reward rules, and everything will be done naturally according to the rules.
The document was held in front of Zhao Hu to check, Zhao Hu only swept it slightly, and said while writing: "Wang Rui, you went behind enemy lines this time to capture and kill the thirteen lords of Donghai County, as well as the elite soldiers under their command.
If there is no mixing behind the scenes, it is naturally a huge feat. Although it can't be counted as your special merit, there is also a hard work, so this time the reward for all the taskers is doubled. ”
Wang Rui and the others were naturally so excited that they kowtowed with tears in their eyes, and they couldn't say words of gratitude when they choked up.
Compared with doubling the reward, they care more about Zhao Hu's compassion for them, as a killer who can't see the light, when will they be considered hard in the future!
The mood is so excited, I have never heard of other families having such a lord who will think about his killers! I joined the Zhao family and met such an eloquent and considerate lord, what a great luck!
After Zhao Hu stamped the seal of the dragon, this document was collected and immediately sent back to Linhe City.
Although Lingwu City is a county seat, Zhao Hu is also ready to use Lingwu City as the main city, but now that it is attacking Donghai County, the main city will naturally be transferred to Linhe City, and countless materials are transported from Linhe City. The samurai of the Government Office and the Logistics Department are also busy in Riverside City.
The killer's exploits are done, and the next step is to prepare to solve the affairs of the East China Sea Army.
Zhao Hu summoned the killers of high-level assassins and powerful retainers, such as Wang Yong, the first retainer, as well as several naval warriors from fishing villages, to discuss.
It is said to be a discussion. In fact, it was just Zhao Hu giving an order.
Zhao Hu pointed at the port defense map that the killer had copied directly from the East China Sea Army.
"This time, we are going to eat the entire Donghai County in our stomachs, no matter whether the Donghai Sea Army obeys the orders of the Lu family to attack us or not, we have to kill this Donghai Sea Army!"
"Of course, it doesn't mean that you are going to burn or sink the ships of the East China Sea Army, these thirty-seven sea ships are a huge wealth and great strength." Seeing that the killer was eager to try, Zhao Hu hurriedly stopped.
