(It's Monday again, and the brothers' red tickets need to be topped up!) Come on! ）

A group of rabble, facing a group of well-trained killing machines, the result is naturally conceivable, after a row of guns fired, the spear array stepped forward and pushed again, and only a corpse remained in the valley.

Xiao Tianjian turned around and didn't look at the battlefield, because there were still many children of Feng Tiancheng and his subordinates, but at the moment when they decided not to lay down their arms and surrender, the fate of these children was already doomed.

In the chaos of the army, there is no mercy, whether they are children or not, waiting for them is only a butcher's knife, and the fierce battle has only lasted about a cup of tea, the weapons in the green snake ditch intersected, and the earth-shattering shouts and screams gradually fell, leaving only nearly two hundred corpses of all kinds, their blood was still hot in the cold air, and the whole ravine was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

Xiao Tianjian looked at Feng Xi, who had been untied, Feng Xi's face was extremely pale at this time, and he basically couldn't see a trace of human color, and looked at the corpses in the valley blankly, some of the injured were still twitching and moaning on the ground, and the stumps and broken arms were thrown everywhere.

There was also a group of soldiers of the Heavenly Army, silently walking in this group of corpses, examining the corpses on the ground, searching for those who still had breath, and then indifferently raised their knives and guns to make up for these still breathing human bodies, so that they could end this pain.

"You go and identify the corpse, pick out the leaders of Feng Tiancheng's subordinates, cut off the heads and bring them back to show the public! The rest of the people were buried on the spot, although they brought it on themselves, but they were also a man, so don't let them throw their corpses into the wilderness and cheapen the beasts in the mountains! Xiao Tianjian commanded Feng Xi and the subordinates around him with an expressionless face.

Killing these children is not what Xiao Tianjian wants, but this time he and Feng Tianyuan came out with an endless ending, these children are innocent, but this is the choice of their fathers, many of them are already sensible, leaving them will be a scourge sooner or later, so they can only end this hatred by dying.

And doing this, for the next step to deter those small local poles, it is also a necessary thing to do, he must use cold means to let these local unstable factors know that he Xiao Tianjian and his Xingtian Army will be like a gentle breeze and drizzle to those who obey the control of the Xingtian Army, making people feel warm, and for those who do not obey them, the Xingtian Army will never be merciful, and Feng Tiancheng's ending this time is their end.

As soon as Feng Tiancheng died, the large forces in the southern part of Yangcheng and the Xingtian Army were completely eliminated, and after the news spread, there was another violent shock in the poles around Yangcheng County.

The three murderers of Yangcheng are now all fallen under the knife of the Xingtian Army without exception, and the remaining dozen or so poles of all sizes also realize that it is time for them to make a choice, and within a few days, these poles have all received a letter from the Xingtian Army, which gives them a time limit of three days, and points out two ways for them, one is to let them go out of the mountain, take the initiative to surrender their weapons to the Xingtian Army, and accept the reorganization and resettlement, but the people can join the army, and they are chosen, and the Xingtian Army will not blame the past and treat them leniently, The second is that they can choose to leave the Yangcheng realm on their own and find another place, and they are never allowed to step into the Yangcheng realm for half a step in the future, otherwise, after three days, the Xingtian Army will take them as the target of the next attack, and they will be at their own risk.

The result is that nearly half of them chose to go out of the mountain, to the lotus village to hand over their weapons, after the Xingtian Army recruit battalion commander Liu Bao screened, some of them were incorporated into the Xingtian Army recruit camp or the barracks, become the Xingtian Army, some of the people who do not want to fight and kill anymore, with their years of accumulation, turned into civilians, for these people, the Xingtian Army is not embarrassed for them, after registering, in Dongye Town, set aside a place, allow them to buy land to build houses, or do business or farming, by their choice.

The other half of the small strands of poles, some of them did not want to be subordinate to the Xingtian Army, so they simply cleaned up the softness, burned the old nest, fled to a foreign land, and found another way out, and there were two small strands of poles in charge, thinking that their reputation was not good, and the Xingtian Army would not really do anything to them, so they chose to continue to wait and see, and three days later, these two poles were wiped out under the cold blow of the Xingtian Army, and became history.

At this point, before the tenth day of the lunar month, all areas in the south of Yangcheng County were controlled by the Xingtian Army, forming an actual control area that was nearly 80 miles long from east to west and nearly 40 miles wide from north to south.

Sitting in the conference hall, Xiao Tianjian and Fu Deming discussed the next plan of action, and after Fu Deming and dozens of his subordinates, plus the cooperation of some authoritative people in various local townships and villages, they basically found out the area of arable land in the area under their control and the number of local people.

At present, in the actual control area of the Xingtian Army, the household registration is roughly about 5,000 households, the population is more than 30,000 people, the existing cultivated land is about 100,000 mu, and the arable wasteland is about 20,000 or 30,000 mu, of which there are more than 2,000 hunters, more than 700 artisan households, and hundreds of miners who rely on mining for a living.

In this way, although they have grabbed such a piece of land, it is basically unrealistic to rely on their land alone to feed the entire Xingtian Army.

So after Fu Deming calculated an account, he told Xiao Tianjian a not-so-good news, that is, they couldn't just rely on the current bit of land to maintain the expenses of the Xingtian Army.

Xiao Tianjian touched his head, smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that here in Yangcheng County, it is really not easy to feed our Xingtian Army!" The territory we control, there are too many mountains, too little arable land, and now it is a cold winter wax moon, even if we divide the land before spring, plant spring seedlings, and want to wait until the harvest, I am afraid we will have to wait until summer and autumn!

This half a year, from the folk grain collection seems to be impossible, and just our Xingtian soldiers will eat is not enough, many people here are already poor and can't open the pot, these people also have to eat, otherwise when it comes to the spring famine, many people still have to go out to escape the famine, and at that time it happened to be the spring sowing season, if a large number of people have to go out to escape the famine, then our hard work during this time may be in vain!

Grain! Grain! It's a real headache! ”

Fu Deming's face was also very solemn, and he nodded and said: "The general is right, although we have leveled the poles in this area now, if the people have nothing to eat, there will still be people who will do that plunder!" In the past few years, the local big households have basically been forced away by Zhao Datong and Xiao Butchers, and it seems that it is not easy to solve the food problem locally!

At present, it seems that the matter of the general's recruitment of troops and horses should be delayed, at least until the autumn harvest next year, this matter cannot be done! Even so, I am afraid that the army will have to lay off a number of people and go to specialize in farming, otherwise, we may not be able to save any food next autumn! ”

Xiao Tianjian nodded and said: "This is a good point, but the soldiers cannot be reduced, this is our capital to base ourselves here, and at present, these two thousand soldiers and recruits are already our bottom line, and we must not reduce the soldiers!"

Besides, these brothers followed me just to eat the soldiers' rations, and how can I let them disband and farm now?" No way, no way! This matter still has to be done according to the original plan, and send our grain team out of the mountains to the surrounding areas to collect grain to supplement our local food!

And now we have to guard against it, although there is no movement on the official side, but before Feng Tiancheng died, the government must have noticed us, and it is estimated that after they start spring, Zezhou will send troops to suppress it, during this time, we not only can not reduce troops, but also strengthen military training, we must ensure that before the beginning of spring, all recruits end their training and are incorporated into the barracks and can be used to fight! ”

Fu Deming nodded and sighed, in the past, they ran around, and if they didn't eat, they went to grab big households, and beat a Zhuangzi, which was enough for them to eat for a while, but now they suddenly changed, not only can they not rob here, but they also have to feed so many people, this matter is not as simple as they thought before.

"I have an idea, too! At present, we have a lot of gold and silver in reserve, and it should be enough to convert it into 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver! This silver, if not spent, is a pile of garbage, and it is necessary to exchange it for something useful! Mr. Fu, can you help me think of a way, how can I spend this money and exchange it for the food we need? Xiao Tianjian suddenly remembered the gold and silver treasures he had stored in the past year, which were placed in the village, and could not be eaten or drunk, and it was just a number to keep them, and the key was to spend them.

When Fu Deming heard this, his brows furrowed, and he smiled bitterly: "The general can be regarded as a problem for the humble position!" We're new to the city, and we don't have much to do with the local area, and even if we have money, I'm afraid we won't have anywhere to spend it at this time! …… Hey? When the general said this, he was so humble that he really remembered one thing! I wonder if I can give it a try? ”

As soon as Xiao Tianjian heard Fu Deming say this, he immediately came to his senses, and immediately sat up straight and said to Fu Deming: "Mr. Fu has an idea, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Fu Deming suddenly smiled and said: "The general has been busy this time, have you forgotten that the general has tied a meat ticket in Wenxi County?" ”
