Chapter 872: The Situation Has Changed
It depends on whether the eldest grandson Wuji will have this conscience.
The eldest grandson Wuji was very decisive at this time, he knew that if a person died, there would be nothing, and he didn't want to be buried with Penglai City.
The vanguard did not immediately attack the city, but successively used the cannon of General Shenwu to directly collapse the city gate tower.
Directly suppressed the soldiers on the city wall.
"Put down your weapons and don't die!"
The vanguard soldiers shouted in unison, and without attacking the city at the first time, Li De just let the soldiers in the city know that they had a choice.
The eldest grandson Wuji had already left with the main force of soldiers and horses, and the soldiers on the city wall were very desperate at this time, precisely because the strength of the vanguard was too strong.
They still hadn't figured out what was going on, and the walls had collapsed, leaving them with nothing to defend.
So all 3,000 people gave up resistance, and all marched out in line as requested.
The main reason why they dared to surrender was that Li De's reputation was very good, since the governor of the capital had given them an order to give them a chance to live, who didn't want to live well.
The 3,000 men were all temporarily formed into a transport team, and yes, they had already taken off their armor and put down their weapons.
After the vanguard entered the city and took charge of the city, Li De entered the city guard mansion with talents.
I have to say that Li Shimin has served in Youzhou, and many systems and office habits are emulated from Youzhou, so it is more convenient to sort out files and view information.
Immediately after the occupation of the city, a notice was posted, and all the vanguard soldiers scattered to various places to spread the news in a timely manner.
Penglai City has belonged to the Youzhou forces, Li De asked the people to mobilize the people to tidy up the city wall, according to Li De's requirements, there was no need to repair it, so he simply let the people demolish the city wall.
Li De's approach has puzzled many people, isn't it bad to have a city wall, and demolishing the city wall will make them feel insecure.
The generals of the vanguard knew that this was a desperate disaster, and without the city walls, there would be no difficulty in attacking the city.
It is also a good thing for the people in the city, so that it is convenient to expand the construction of the city, anyway, there is no city wall in the Youzhou forces, they are used to it, I believe that the people of Penglai City will soon get used to it.
The people in the city were a little happy to see the vanguard at first, after all, Youzhou had a good reputation, but they were very afraid to see so many soldiers.
Penglai City had just gone through a battle, and even if they didn't feel much, it was normal to be afraid.
They all came out to work with apprehension, and they heard that those who demolished the city wall every day were paid back, and they could get 20 yuan for one day's work.
The reason for this salary is that there is no food.
According to the custom of Youzhou, meals will be provided, but the current situation is different, there are many things to deal with just after the occupation of Penglai, and the merchants in the city are not familiar with it, so the meals are all converted into copper coins.
Let them figure it out on their own while they rest.
Li De began to count the accounts immediately after taking over the city guard mansion with his people, and he didn't believe that the money he had in reserve could be taken away by them in such a short time.
It doesn't matter if you take it away, someone has already been arranged to chase it, and we have to wait for news about the result.
A lot of people are looking at the accounts, and all the information about the business in the city is being investigated by them.
Some people have discovered that all the commercial investments in the city are the properties invested by the eldest grandson's family, so that all of them have become the property of the castle guard.
"The eldest grandson's family has a lot of money, and they are almost in charge of eighty percent of Penglai's business."
Li De was a little envious of Li Shimin, an eldest grandson Wuji supported the commerce of a city.
It would be wonderful if he had a few more eldest grandsons, Wuji, but unfortunately he was destined to think too much.
The merchants of Youzhou are richer than the eldest grandson's family, but the problem is that the merchants of Youzhou alone cannot support a city in Youzhou.
It is not as good as their wealth to speak of their courage.
Perhaps if Li De offered Li Shimin's conditions, there should be many people to invest.
Just like the eldest grandson Wuji, the investment is really thorough, no wonder he can become the first brother of the dynasty in the future, and many things happen not without reason.
The eldest grandson Wuji really didn't bring out much money, and the time was too urgent, and his decisiveness allowed him to save 50,000 soldiers and horses.
Li De sent cavalry, but he didn't plan to let them fight hard, and the current task of the 100,000 soldiers and horses he brought out was to garrison.
The pursuit of the soldiers and horses is to see if they can meet a chance to attack.
The castle guard had already found the money, and when he saw that there was no less, he immediately sent someone over to inform the pursuers and let them return.
Penglai City was incorporated into the Youzhou forces, and in a few days, not a single stone was left of the city wall.
Li De made a lot of money this time, and most of the money was used by the family to invest, and Li Shimin had not invested the money after arriving in Penglai.
In fact, in Li De's opinion, it should be Li Shimin who is preparing to embezzle this money, and the windfall is that a lot of iron ore has been hoarded in the inventory of the city guard.
Thinking of Li Shimin's sale of materials some time ago, I know that iron ore was stored at that time.
Now all of them have become Youzhou's.
It has to be said that the situation in Penglai is much better than that of many state capitals under Li Shimin's governance, and the price of food in Penglai is slightly higher due to the drought.
And the largest grain merchant who provides grain for Penglai is also invested by the eldest grandson's family.
The first thing to do is to bring down the price of food in the city.
In a few days, many things were being carried out, and the people of Penglai City could not believe that the city wall had been leveled by their manpower in three days.
Half of the city's people were hired to tear down the walls, and all the bricks and stones were neatly stacked outside.
The masonry will be used in the construction project.
Li De did not plan to do the demolition project, but planned the future construction project according to the new plan, and these things are not the most important.
When the grain was transported from Youzhou, a lot of office staff were transferred, and they were all used to take over the city guard.
The various benefits of Youzhou were immediately implemented in Penglai City, and before that, the city guard had already begun to register the people in the city.
Every household is required to participate in the registration.
The shops are registered as soon as possible, and their information is more than that of ordinary people.
In order not to affect the operation of the store, the registration was given priority, and at the same time, for the investment industry of the eldest grandson family, all the industries invested by each family through the help of the Li family were confiscated.
Rebuttals are not accepted.
The execution of the vanguard was already received on the second day after the capture of Penglai City.
When the situation of Penglai reached Chang'an, the soldiers and horses of the Li family were fighting with the soldiers and horses of the Yuwen family.
Yes, when the Li family used all their forces to attack the city and was already preparing to take Chang'an, the soldiers and horses of the Yuwen family appeared to stir up the situation.
As a result, the two fought directly.
Yuwen Chengdu personally led the Xiao cavalry guards to be strong, and the Li family's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses.
The situation changed, Li Shimin learned that the foundation was destroyed, and he fainted directly after spitting out a mouthful of blood.
