Chapter Twenty-Three: Spoils of War
Zhao Yong took a group of family members and went directly to the front cottage gate, and the children of the Gao family who were defeated in front were driven all the way by Zhao Yong like ducks.
Some people saw Zhao Yong going straight to the direction of the walled gate, and immediately fled from both sides, and sure enough, they avoided Zhao Yong's soldiers, and they were worry-free for the time being, but the problem was that if they wanted to escape, they had to go to the walled gate!
Some people rushed to the gate of the village, and Zhao Yong chased all the way regardless of the queue. A group of people were about to open the gate of the village and escape, Zhao Yong hurriedly shouted: "Kill!" ”
The group of people couldn't help but be shocked, this gate is very heavy, but it is not so easy to open, seeing that they can't leave, if they resist, they will inevitably be killed, and several agitated spirits immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Uncle spare his life......
At least there is a glimmer of life in begging for mercy!
Zhao Yong led people to rush forward, and a burst of guns stabbed those people of the Gao family who were bent on fleeing for their lives to the ground, although the team was a little chaotic, but no one attacked those who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The regulations stipulate that it is forbidden to commit suicide to prisoners privately, and those who violate it will be punished with military sticks. Zhao Yong asked people to pack up the prisoners, and then stood guard in front of this walled gate.
There was a cry in the village, and Lin Yi led people to pick people up everywhere in the village, rushed into the house like a wolf and a tiger, and captured the Gao family one by one.
Since entering the village, the people of the Gao family have not only organized a rebellion at the beginning, but then they thought that they were in a mess and had no intention of fighting.
A few who wanted to resist were directly stabbed to death by indiscriminate shooting, and the rest were escorted out. Lin Yi was not in a hurry, and led people to sweep slowly, anyway, the gate of the village was blocked, and these people had nowhere to run if they wanted to.
Zhao Yan led people to supervise the army, and the family members behind him kept preaching military law and warned other family members not to defy the law. The Zhao family army has four military methods for the battle, and the first one is beheaded, the ** woman is beheaded, the one who hides the prisoner is killed, and the one who kills the prisoner is beaten with thirty military sticks.
Discipline is an important part of an army's combat effectiveness, and once a military law is set, it must be enforced.
The children of the Gao family in the village were scurrying around like flies, and Lin Yi didn't care about them, this black light is easy to have accidents, so it's better to clean up the people in the house first.
One by one, the Gao family members were escorted out of the house and concentrated in the open space of the stockade, and soon Lin Yi led people to surround the most luxurious room.
That house is where Gao Xunqi lives.
'Bang', the door suddenly opened, only to see a drunken middle-aged man rushing out of the door with a sword, this person is Gao Xunqi, who is angry and wants to kill.
As soon as Gao Xunqi rushed out of the house, he was immediately surrounded by a group of family members, and the head of the gun was clearly aimed at him. Gao Xunqi's heart was excited, and he suddenly woke up half of his drunkenness, and sat down on the ground in an instant.
With a clang, the long sword fell directly on the stone steps, and seeing that this person did not resist, he was directly escorted down.
Zhao Yan took advantage of the night attack, the Gao family was unable to organize an effective resistance in time, and the Gao family was just a group of rabble, rushing into the gun array in chaos just to find death.
Half an hour later, Gaojiazhai finally quieted down.
Gaojiazhai and the old and young were gathered in the open space, and they looked at the Zhao family's family in horror, but although the Zhao family was fierce and vicious, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, at least the female dependents were not defiled.
After sweeping away the enemies in the village, Zhao Yan led people to start confiscating the property of the Gao family.
The coolest thing in this world is to raid the house, and the silver is twice as fast. Wanli loves to copy his home, and those so-called 'righteous army' rogues also love to copy his home.
In Gao Xunqi's paleness, the gold and silver he hid in the cellar were found, as well as some antique calligraphy and paintings......
……
The sky gradually dawned, and finally the Gao family was copied, among which the most oily and watery is Gao Xunqi, his family was originally a landlord, and the other Gao family members are tenants of their family, plus he is a man, and other yeoman farmers in the clan pay taxes by him.
Taxation, a means of tax evasion, because the lifter belongs to the tax-exempt privileged class, so once the literati are promoted, they will always have money and income.
Those peasants who wanted to evade taxes would deposit their land in the name of the people, and the people would receive a certain amount of money, and the share of this money would naturally be less than that of the government.
This kind of behavior is called trickery, and it is usually signed with a white deed, and if the government wants to pursue it, it will inevitably have to fight a lawsuit, and in the end it is usually not done, which is purely an act of digging into the corner of the country.
In addition to paying for the homesteaders, Gao Xunqi usually relied on the armed forces of the clan to forcibly occupy the land, and led the clan soldiers to rob homes everywhere.
"Childe, it's all counted, this guy's family is really rich, in addition to three hundred taels of gold, more than five thousand taels of silver, he also hoarded three thousand stone of grain, and the title deeds are even more numerous, so I don't have time to count them for a while." Wang Wenyue, who was in charge of the inventory, trembled with the pile of land deeds in his hand, and said happily.
Among Zhao Yong, Lin Yi and Wang Wenyue, Wang Wenyue has the worst skills, but he has read books for a few years and knows some strategies, so he was designated by Zhao Yan as one of the captains. This time, they were all a group of illiterate rough men, and they didn't bring out the papers, and the inventory work could only be carried out by Wang Wenyue.
It's about eight thousand taels of silver, and such a thick stack of land deeds! With such a rich seizure, Zhao Yan couldn't help but be slightly surprised, the landlord's family really had a solid foundation.
These are war dividends! It's just dealing with a landlord, if it expands the scale......
Zhao Yan couldn't help but conclude that he could really make a fortune by fighting.
"Have you found the ploughing cattle?" Zhao Yan asked.
"Found it, it's all in the bullpen." Wang Wenyue said, and then asked: "Son, what should those Gao family members do?" ”
"It's still only the first evil, let those folks go!" Zhao Yan said that the time he came to this era is not too short, and he still has some understanding of these clans.
Most of these clans are tenant farmers, farming for the landlords in the clan, no different from ordinary people, they are all bitter haha. Although the Gao family has done too much, it is too much to anger these ordinary people.
Kill them all, it's too much, and it's not easy to manage when you catch them back, so you can let the surname Suo go.
"Uh...... Childe, we searched out all their belongings just now......" Wang Wenyue said in amazement, he was too excited to raid the house just now, and swept them from house to house.
"I'll be back later." Zhao Yan said indifferently, what kind of oil and water are there in those bitter haha, even if there is no shortage of silver.
After ordering this, Zhao Yan immediately asked people to bury the pot to cook and set up camp to rest. After a night of tossing, everyone felt tired.
Zhao Yan went to appease the Gao family, and although he wanted to release them, he had to put them under his own management.
――
Hehe! Five o'clock is still early in the morning! I didn't put everyone in the side dishes......
