Chapter 488: Sweeping Black Rock Island (1)
"I've seen the lord!"
As soon as Zhao Hu appeared in Zheng Haoran's field of vision, Zheng Haoran took the officials of the Zheng family and walked up quickly, shouting loudly with a respectful face.
"I've seen the lord!"
As soon as Zheng Haoran's voice fell, the officials of the Zheng family shouted loudly with respectful expressions.
"You are Zheng Haoran, the city lord of Hongwu City?"
Seeing Zheng Haoran's performance, Zhao Hu nodded lightly and said with a calm face.
"Lord Hui, I am Zheng Haoran, the city lord of Hongwu City." As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Zheng Haoran responded with a respectful face.
Hearing Zheng Haoran's reply, Zhao Hu nodded lightly, did not continue to speak, but took Zhao Xin, crossed Zheng Haoran, walked straight towards the City Lord's Mansion, and sat down on the main seat of the City Lord's Mansion Chamber.
Zheng Haoran and the others followed closely behind Zhao Hu and entered the chamber of the City Lord's Mansion, standing on both sides of the chamber, the officers of the Black Rock Army under Zhao Hu stood in front of the chamber, and Zheng Haoran and other officials of Hongwu City stood at the back of the chamber, looking at Zhao Hu with curiosity and worry.
"Don't worry, I won't deprive you of your private property! In addition to the public property and all the land in Hongwu City, your property and other assets belong to you! ”
At the same time, I will not move your position for the time being, and after I have cleared all the unsurrendered strength of Black Rock Island, I will run a training course, and all of you will study in the training class for a period of time, and I will arrange suitable positions for you according to your learning situation in the training class, do you have any opinions? If you have one, bring it up quickly, and if you don't, don't bring it up in the future! ”
Zhao Hu, who was sitting on the main seat, glanced at the Hongwu City officials below with a sharp gaze, and looked at the Hongwu City officials below with a calm face.
"Lord Lord, a lot of land in Hongwu City is privately owned, if Lord Lord takes all the land in Hongwu City into the Lord's Mansion, it is likely to cause turmoil in Hongwu City, I hope Lord Lord can think about it more."
As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Zheng Haoran hardened, walked to the center of the chamber, and looked at Zhao Hu and suggested loudly.
As the city lord of Hongwu City, Zheng Haoran and the disciples of the Zheng family, as well as the officials under the Zheng family, all owned a large amount of land, and if they were forcibly taken over by Zhao Hu and owned by the lord's mansion, they would suffer heavy losses.
After all, grain is very precious on Black Rock Island, and the land where grain is produced is even more precious, so even if he offends the lord Zhao Hu because of this, Zheng Haoran has to bite the bullet and dissuade Zhao Hu from the idea of returning the land of Hongwu City to the lord's mansion.
Hearing Zheng Haoran's words, Zhao Hu's brows furrowed slightly, and he did not immediately refute or agree, but fell into deep thought.
The grain in Black Rock City is precious, and the land that produces food is even more precious, if Zhao Hu forcibly returns the land of Black Rock Island to the Lord's Mansion, it will definitely cause strong turmoil in Black Rock Island.
No matter how much influence the Ultron Empire has on Black Rock Island, and how strong the Black Rock Army is, in the land where the people of Black Rock Island are the life* roots, the people of Black Rock Island will not back down and fight with Zhao Hu to the end.
If Zhao Hu does not take the land of Black Rock Island into the Lord's Mansion, then Zhao Hu's control over Black Rock Island will be greatly reduced, and his influence on Black Rock Island will be very limited, which is extremely unfavorable to his rule over Black Rock Island.
"Starting from today, within one month, you will truthfully report the land area under your command to the lord's mansion for registration, and I will send someone to conduct a detailed survey of your land after you have registered the land area, and if there is any hidden land, it will be confiscated, and if you dare to expand the land area without authorization, you will be exterminated!" After pondering for a moment, Zhao Hu said with a calm face, a faint cold light flashing in his eyes.
If anyone dares to oppose him on the land, he doesn't mind watering the land of Black Rock Island with the blood of these people to make the land of Black Rock Island more fertile.
"Yes, my lord!" Hearing Zhao Hu's words, seeing a cold light flashing in Zhao Hu's eyes, Zheng Haoran accepted it when he saw it, and hurriedly responded loudly.
"How many troops are there in Hongwu City? How many fighters of the third rank and above are there in the army? Zhao Hu skipped the land issue and asked the question of the Hongwu City army with a calm face.
"Lord Hui, Hongwu City has a total of 100,000 troops, of which 50,000 troops are scattered in other towns, 50,000 troops are stationed in the barracks of Hongwu City, and at the same time, among the 100,000 troops, there are only 120 soldiers of the third level and above." Hearing Zhao Hu's question, Zheng Haoran responded with a respectful face.
"It's so weak! The 100,000-strong army turned out to be only one hundred and twenty soldiers of the third level and above, what is the use of such an army, and how strong can the combat effectiveness be! Hearing Zheng Haoran's words, Zhao Hu shook his head lightly and said.
After speaking, Zhao Hu turned his gaze back to Zheng Haoran's body, and said with a calm face: "City Lord Zheng, you come with me to Lingwu City and Xuanwu City!" ”
"Yes, my lord!" As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Zheng Haoran responded with a respectful face.
After receiving Zheng Haoran's affirmative answer, Zhao Hu did not hesitate or hesitate at all, leaving a large group of soldiers in Hongwu City to protect the safety of Hongwu City, and then led his fleet to kill in the direction of Lingwu City, which was thousands of miles away.
Lingwu City is the second largest force on Heiyan Island, with a population of tens of millions and more than 100,000 troops, which is slightly weaker than Hongwu City. However, Lingwu City has much more backbone than Xuanwu City, and after the arrival of the fleet, not only did it not take the initiative to surrender, but launched a ferocious attack on the fleet as soon as it discovered the fleet.
In the face of the attack of the Lingwu City army, Zhao Hu didn't care, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he was very happy that the Lingwu City army dared to resist.
Because the army of Lingwu City took the initiative to attack the fleet, Zhao Hu could directly order the Black Rock Army to kill all the city lords and high-ranking officials of Lingwu City, so that a lot of problems could be avoided, and all the money, grain and land under the command of the city lords and high-ranking officials of Lingwu City would be owned by the lord's mansion, and it would not damage his reputation.
With so many benefits, how could Zhao Hu be so unhappy! At the same time, when the Black Rock Army and the army in Lingwu City were fighting fiercely, Zhao Hu was still thinking about how to arouse the spirit of resistance of the other forces on Black Rock Island, so that the other forces on Black Rock Island would rebel against his rule, instead of taking the initiative to surrender like Hongwu City.
The soldiers of the Black Rock Army, at least have the strength of third-level warriors, and they are led by sixth-level warriors, and they are well-equipped, from the beginning of the battle, they have pressed the tens of thousands of troops in Lingwu City, and countless soldiers of Lingwu City have died tragically in the hands of the Black Rock Army, becoming a cold corpse.
In the face of the strong combat effectiveness of the Black Rock Army, the army in Lingwu City collapsed rapidly, most of the soldiers either fled around, or took the initiative to kneel and surrender, only a small number of soldiers continued to resist, don't be ruthlessly crushed by the Black Rock Army.
After eliminating the army in Lingwu City, the Black Rock Army divided several teams to kill the looters while the fire was burned, and gathered the prisoners, while the other teams pounced in the direction of the checkpoints and important material strongholds in Lingwu City.
As for the Lingwu City City Lord's Mansion and the mansions of other high-ranking officials, they were led by fifth-level and sixth-level warriors to pounce. In the face of the attacks of the fifth-level warriors and the sixth-level warriors and a large number of third- and fourth-level warriors under their command, the Lingwu City City Lord's Mansion and the mansions of other high-ranking officials were captured one after another, and the Lingwu City City Lord, high-ranking officials and their families all died tragically in the hands of the Black Rock Army.
Zheng Haoran, who was following Zhao Hu, saw that the strength of the Black Rock Army was so strong, in less than an hour, he destroyed all the resistance forces in Lingwu City, and killed the city lord and high-ranking officials of Lingwu City and his family, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he was secretly glad that he took the initiative to surrender to Zhao Hu and did not resist, otherwise, he and the Zheng family would have died tragically in the hands of the Black Rock Army.
At the same time, Zheng Haoran secretly made up his mind that he must not provoke Zhao Hu, and after he went back, he must warn those officials in Hongwu City to honestly act according to Zhao Hu's rules, not to violate the rules set by Zhao Hu, and not to cheat on the land issue.
Zhao Hu on the side glanced at Zheng Haoran beside him with the afterglow of his eyes, knowing that the strong strength of the Black Rock Army had shocked Zheng Haoran, he must not dare to make trouble for himself, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a faint smile.
"Boy, die!" Just when Zhao Hu was happy to shock Zheng Hao, a sixth-level warrior in Lingwu City came out from a private house in Lingwu City, holding a sharp long sword, slashing through the void like lightning, and quickly approached Zhao Hu's side, the sharp edge of the sharp long sword in his hand continued to move in Zhao Hu's field of vision.
"Look for death!" Seeing that someone dared to assassinate Zhao Hu, Zhao Xin, who was guarding the side, had a cold light in his eyes, shouted lightly, his body rose into the air, and met the sixth-level warrior in Lingwu City, the sharp long sword in his hand waved lightly, and a fierce sword shot out from it, slashing down on the body of the sixth-level warrior in Lingwu City, making him let out a terrible scream and fell to the ground weakly.
