Sun Gouzi got up from the ground and quickly lit a bundle of dry firewood, and suddenly smoke came out of the city gatehouse. The warriors on the castle tower noticed that something was wrong and immediately went downstairs to check the situation, but as soon as they arrived at the city gate, a rush of killing sounded, and it seemed that countless fierce beasts rushed over.

The warriors who came to their senses hurriedly closed the city gate, but were resisted by Sun Gouzi and more than a dozen officers and soldiers dressed as farmers. A moment later, Cao Bin arrived with other officers and soldiers, and the warriors who were still fighting immediately fled when they saw this, and there was no longer any resistance at all.

The army rushed into Kono Castle, causing a panic and countless people fleeing in all directions, and the doors of the shops were closed. Some of the samurai rushed over, but they couldn't resist at all, leaving behind dozens of corpses, and the remaining samurai ran away.

Some officers and soldiers kicked open the door of a shop, ignoring the men and the shopkeeper who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and left without much delay, because the adults had said that there was only one hour to plunder.

Dozens of officers and soldiers poured into the big house, and after killing the resisting samurai, they looted it on a large scale, and the family knelt on the ground tremblingly, for fear that this group of robbers would kill people after robbery, but later they found that this group of robbers ignored them in the first place, and their hearts suddenly relaxed a lot. In a short time, the robbers left with a bag on their backs, and the head of the house quickly got up from the ground and looked at the empty treasury without tears.

There were also some big families who heard that the robbers were coming, and they rolled up their soft belongings and tried to escape, but they were caught by the officers and soldiers passing by, so they had to obediently hand over the money in order to save their lives.

Kono Castle is in chaos, and robbers are everywhere.

Outside the city lord's mansion, hundreds of officers and soldiers surrounded him. If it is a big household, which family in the city is as big as the city lord's mansion, so after Cao Wei entered the city, he came straight to the city lord's mansion.

Seeing that the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was closed, Cao Wei said to Ma Peizhe: "You told them that if the door has not been opened and surrendered in the half-pillar incense, they will rush in and leave no living creatures." ”

Ma Peizhe shouted a few words towards the city lord's mansion in Japanese language, but there was no movement coming out of it, just when Cao Wei and others were impatient, he saw the door of the mansion slowly open, and the maids and servants in the mansion all knelt on the ground, and an old man with gray hair knelt in the front, pointing to a dozen large boxes on one side and saying something that Cao Wei couldn't understand.

After the old man finished speaking, Ma Peizhe whispered: "My lord, he said that he is a retainer of the City Lord's Mansion, and the belongings in these boxes are for the adults, I hope the adults can let go of the family members of the City Lord's Mansion." ”

Cao Wei waved his hand, and several officers and soldiers stepped forward to open the box, which was full of gold and silver ingots and jewelry.

Cao Wei felt happy for a while, and ordered his subordinates to move all the boxes. When he was about to leave, he found that Toyotomi Shunyi, who covered his face with a cloth towel, was staring at the old man, his fingers had been rubbing on the handle of the knife, Cao Wei glanced at the old man thoughtfully, and led the people away. Toyotomi Shunyi snorted coldly and also left the City Lord's Mansion.

After they all left, the old man slowly stood up, summoned a samurai, and after a short time a fast horse ran out of the castle lord's mansion and hurried out of Kono Castle.

On this day, the people of Kono Castle suffered a great disaster, especially the large families, which were almost all patronized by robbers. But ordinary people found that these robbers did not slaughter them too much, but picked on large families to attack.

On this day, there was no order in Kono Castle, and after the robbers left, some of the samurai who guarded Kono Castle on weekdays also took advantage of the chaos to rob and even kill people, which was even more evil than the previous robbers.

On this day, the ordinary people in Kono City seemed to open up the evil thoughts in their hearts, and they rushed into the homes of the rich people in droves, and the unattainable old man on weekdays knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but he was still beaten to the ground.

Most of the people searched around the house, not even the pots and pans, and a few slightly clever people went to the house treasury to look for silver, only when they opened the door of the house treasury, they found that it had already been looted, and there were not even a single mouse empty......

……

……

It was dark, but the cottage was brightly lit.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the lobby, except for Cao Bin, the generals of more than 1,000 households in the mercenary guards were basically here, and everyone's faces were full of smiles that could not be concealed.

Even if you return to Daming right now, it's worth the trip.

Everyone looked at Cao Wei, this big victory made Cao Wei's prestige reach its peak, and it also completely convinced every mercenary guard officer.

Cao Wei's sentence "It is a little less to die a little" reached the ears of ordinary officers and soldiers, warming the hearts of 5,000 officers and soldiers, they were on errands in the army, and they pinned their heads to the belt of their trousers, and life and death were lighter than ordinary people, but no matter how light they looked, it was also a matter of life and death, who would want to leave their parents, wives and children at home and die in a foreign country?

The veterans of the mercenary guards have experienced a lot of superiors, but there is no one like Cao Wei who cherishes the lives of his subordinates, so you can imagine how much Cao Wei is loved by the mercenary guards now, if they encounter danger, they are afraid of death to ensure the safety of their own commanders.

Why die for such a Shangguan?

Soldiers and generals, lives are entrusted!

Ning Yang and Xu Li were also smiling, it was obvious that they had gained a lot in Kono City, and when they left Kono City, Cao Wei even saw that one of them was carrying a big bag, smiling like two weasels who had just stolen chickens.

Ma Peizhe touched the priceless Dong Qingzhu in his arms and smiled.

Cao Bin walked in from outside the door, holding an account book in his hand: "My lord, half of the officers and soldiers have been handed over, and the subordinates have roughly counted it, 970,000 taels ......of gold, more than 5 million taels of silver, and countless jewelry, please take a look at it."

Cao Wei took the account book, opened it and looked at it, then closed it and said: "This time, Kono and his party have gained a lot of money, and they have made great contributions.

You are the generals of the mercenary guards, and your subordinates are your life and death robes, so this officer does not want to hear you put your hands into the pockets of ordinary soldiers, otherwise, this officer will cut off your hands.

The soldiers who died in this battle, they have no military merits, so the court will not issue pensions, so the official will allocate from the property obtained this time, and everyone who has a family will be given three hundred taels of silver each, so as to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and it will be set as a permanent rule.

If there is a child of appropriate age who is willing to join the mercenary guard, he can be called in to fill the vacancy of his father. Also, all the soldiers who died in the battle were cremated, and the ashes were kept by a special person, so that they could return to their roots when they returned to the Ming Dynasty......"

"I am willing to die for my lords!"

"It's not necessary to serve the dead, just keep your lives to serve your own officials. Liu Zhu, didn't you say that your son fell in love with the daughter of the county order family and was worried that he wouldn't be able to get the bride price? This official saw that you were carrying a big bag when you left Kono City, and you didn't fucking weigh too much, this time the bride price was enough, right? ”

The black-faced man in the hall grinned and said: "My lord, don't say it's the daughter of the county family, even if you marry the pearl of the prefect's family, you can get the gift money."

After returning to his hometown this time, his subordinates came to the door to propose marriage, three gifts, six golds and eighteen samples, and kept them so that the in-laws could not find faults...... If you don't dislike it, please come over and have a glass of wine......"

Cao Wei scolded with a smile: "You are worried about the official's money, okay, the official and a group of soldiers will eat your family poor!" "I want to talk about "Daming Qingshi" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
