On July 23, Li Xing and Li Laosi's 30,000 tiger army plundered all the way to the hinterland of Ping'an Road, far from the coastline. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Tiger Ben army robbed in Ping'an Road and robbed the manors of one hundred and eighty-three families of two classes of nobles, and Li Xing and Li Laosi gained a lot.

More than 100 manors were fat and thin, and a total of more than 8 million taels worth of silver, grain, and goods were found. In just ten days, Li Xing and Li Laosi have already grabbed half of the fifteen million taels.

This is only half of the eight provinces of Korea, and if the whole of Korea is plundered, I am afraid the harvest will be even more amazing.

Although North Korea is not rich, as a country with a population of 10 million, the wealth of the two classes of nobles who dominate is still very huge. The 15 million taels of silver compensation demanded by Li Zhi was originally taken by the Koreans.

Li Laosi rode in the valley of Ping'an Road with his personal guards, inspecting the Korean people in the occupied areas.

This Pyongan Province is a typical mountainous area in northern North Korea, with a large number of mountainous forests and sparse arable land. Rolling hills on all sides, the road winds its way through the valley.

Bypassing a hill, Li Laosi saw a small village appear in front of him.

The small village looked very dilapidated, with no brick houses. More than two dozen adobe houses are enclosed and covered with thin thatch. The village is surrounded by a half-man-high earthen wall, which seems to be defensive. However, Li Laosi felt that the earthen wall was so fragile that it would fall down if he pushed it, and he could probably only defend against wild beasts.

Li Laosi was observing the village, and an infantry company that had plundered two classes of nobles passed by the edge of the village. The company carried two squads of prisoners, carrying cartloads of grain and silver, and walked down the road with loaded guns.

The villagers were all in the house, but they were attracted by the convoy that robbed the rich family. Several North Koreans shouted and called out all the people in the village. Skinny North Korean peasants, topless and dressed in sackcloth trousers, ran out and stood behind a low wall watching the convoy.

There was fear, curiosity, and, of course, hatred.

Although the Tiger Army robbed the Korean nobility, for the Koreans, the Tiger Army robbed North Korea.

The company commander of the transport team was a little alarmed when he saw more than 50 villagers gathered dozens of meters away from the road. He raised his handcuff and fired a shot into the air.

There was a loud "pop", and the sound of gunfire echoed back and forth in the valley.

The frightened North Korean villagers fled into adobe houses one by one, not daring to come out again.

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the North Korean villagers, the guards around Li Laosi laughed and were very proud.

Li Laosi stood in the distance, thoughtful.

"How far are we from the coast."

A platoon commander of the personal guard took out a map, measured it on it, and replied loudly: "Division commander, we are now 300 miles away from the coastline in a straight line, and we are 500 miles away from the mountain path. ”

Li Laosi nodded and said, "The further we go, the more we are surrounded by the Korean people. If we don't win the support of the North Korean people, we can only kill all these villagers. With a wave of his hand, Li Laosi said: "Let the convoy stop, take thirty stones of rice, and thirty taels of silver to distribute to that village." ”

Li Laosi's guards were stunned and glanced at each other. In the end, the platoon commander of the personal guard personally rode out on horseback, and rushed to the transport brigade on horseback.

"The second marshal has an order..."

The convoy heard Li Laosi's order and quickly stopped. Although he was a little reluctant, the company commander still ordered to take out some grain and silver and send them to the village gate.

Curious, Li Laosi rode to the gate of the village to see how the North Korean villagers would distribute the goods.

Seeing the invading Chinese bringing goods to the village, the poor North Koreans in the village cowered and watched and whispered. However, seeing the transport company with loaded guns and ammunition next to them, the North Koreans did not dare to go to the entrance of the village to get things.

It wasn't until the transport wing had gone far away, and only Li Laosi and forty kind-looking cavalrymen of the pro-guard team were left at the entrance of the village, that the North Koreans mustered up the courage to walk out of the house. They stood at the door of the house, staring at the goods at the gate of the village, especially the thirty stone of rice.

For these hungry and full people, rice is a life-saving thing in this green and yellow season.

Suddenly, the only middle-aged man in the village wearing a sackcloth shirt walked out with his two sons. The middle-aged man, who wore a more elegant-looking Korean-style turban tied around his head, was obviously the leader of the village, and he walked up to the thirty stone of grain, and picked up one stone of rice with his two sons and carried it to his own house.

Obviously, the gift that Li Laosi gave to this village was to be monopolized by the leader of this village.

Li Laosi looked at the other villagers and carefully observed their reactions.

When the other villagers at the door of the earthen house saw the actions of the village leader, their eyes were a little unwilling and full of helplessness. Obviously, these villagers were in awe of this selfish leader, and they dared not speak out.

Seeing the reaction of the villagers, Li Laosi took out his handcuff and fired a shot into the sky with a snap.

The leader of the village and his two sons were so frightened that they no longer dared to pick up grain from their homes. They threw their burdens on the ground with a bang, knelt on the ground in a panic, and kowtowed to Li Laosi.

The other villagers in the village were very distressed when they saw the rice on the load scattered on the ground. A dozen or so women ran out on their legs, gathered around the load of rice to collect the finely broken rice from the ground, and gathered the rice grain one by one onto the burden of rice. After a few minutes, there was no more rice scattered on the ground.

Although the women collected the rice, they did not dare to take it over. When they had done this, the women went a little further and knelt down on the ground again.

Li Laosi looked at one of the interpreters in the guard team and said, "You go and distribute, each villager gets five buckets of rice and six coins of silver." ”

The interpreter sang and went to distribute the food.

He walked around the village, found a grain bucket, and distributed the grain bucket to the Korean villagers. At first, the villagers were still looking at the face of the village leader, and they did not dare to take the translator's food. But after the interpreter shouted a few words, a shirtless young villager took the lead in accepting the interpreter's food.

With this young villager taking the lead, the other villagers became emboldened. They all finally took pots and pans out of their homes and gathered around the interpreter to divide the food.

The emaciated children of the village danced with joy when they saw the golden rice of the adults. Although the other villagers didn't dare to laugh, the hatred for the Ming soldiers in their eyes was obviously much less.

The two classes of nobles in Korea had a very large population, and they kept a large number of tribes and did not produce anything. North Korea's peasants spend a lot of food every year to feed these ruling classes, and they live in poverty. Although Li Laosi only gave five buckets of grain to each villager, it was also life-saving food.

As for the silver, it didn't have such a strong effect.

Li Laosi looked at the villagers with joy in their eyes and thought for a while.

With a wave of the horsewhip, Li Laosi said: "In the future, it will be decided, rob all the two classes of nobles in the occupied area, and distribute five buckets of grain to each of the people at the bottom!" ”

Glancing at the North Korean villagers again, Li Laosi said, "Let's go!" ”
