Chapter 196: Threat
If it is an ordinary bandit, after re-entering Zhoujiabao, which is full of grain, they will definitely loot everywhere, providing an opportunity for the head of the Zhou family to escape from Zhoujiabao.
However, what made the head of the Zhou family desperate was that he was not facing ordinary bandits, but the battle-hardened tiger and leopard army.
After rushing into Zhoujiabao, hundreds of soldiers dressed in bandit clothes did not blindly string around Zhoujiabao and loot finances. Instead, under the leadership of their respective platoon commanders and Wu Commanders, they pounced on various key points in Zhoujiabao with a target.
As for the back door of the Zhou family's full of expectations, at this moment, there are already thirty tiger and leopard musketeers guarding it.
Surrounded by dozens of family members, the head of the Zhou family had just appeared in the field of vision of the musketeer, and ten consecutive gunshots like bursting beans rang out in the chaotic Zhoujia Fort.
Under the close fire of ten firing muskets, they rushed to the front of several families, and were directly pierced through several bloody holes by lead bullets. Then, with the fear before death, he fell heavily in front of the head of the Zhou family.
The first row of ten musketeers had just finished firing, and the second row of musketeers followed closely behind, pulling the trigger of the musket in their hands.
After another string of bean-like gunshots rang out, no less than ten people had fallen in the Jiading Nursing Courtyard gathered around the head of the Zhou family. The faces of the remaining dozens of family members have been shrouded in a thick expression of despair.
At this time, the third round, and even the fourth and fifth rounds of gunfire shot by the Haw Par Army...... One after another, the rear door of Zhou Jiabao sounded, and the family members who gathered around the head of the Zhou family were also like ripe wheat, one after another were cut to the ground by lead bullets.
At this time, whether it is the head of the Zhou family. Or from the family who lives at home, they all understand a truth, from the back door. It is impossible for him to escape from Zhoujiabao.
So, I don't know who took the lead, more than a dozen people, including the head of the Zhou family, all fell to their knees in Yihula, and begged for mercy while trying to kowtow to the thirty tiger and leopard musketeers guarding the back door.......
When thirty well-trained musketeers appeared around the head of the Zhou family, the head of the Zhou family with a desperate face seemed to have discovered a big secret. Exclaimed loudly: "You are not bandits, bandits cannot be as well-trained as you, nor can they have such good equipment as you...."
"Officers and soldiers. You are officers and soldiers... And it's also the -... of the Haw Par Army of the General Army."
"The muskets in your hands are only equipped with the Haw Par Army in command of the General Army......
The platoon commander who led the team walked to the head of the family with a sneer and said: "You are the head of the Zhou family....you guessed right, we are the official army....Who made you so greedy, not only did you not support the general army Mansion Tuntian." Also find a way to destroy....you know. All the Qiē of your Zhou family today are caused by yourself..."
"A few of you, take the head of the Zhou family down and hand it over to the head of the regiment to deal with..."
It only took an hour for the once-prominent Zhoujiabao to be occupied by the Tiger and Par Army.
Subsequently, a lot of silver, truckloads of grain, and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land that Wei Zheng valued most. All of them were transported out of Zhoujiabao by the Haw Par Army overnight and disappeared into the night.
Over the next five days. Every night, a family is robbed by so-called bandits, and the family is ruined...
For a time, the entire Datong Mansion fell into a tense state of grass and trees.
A large number of officials and gentry and landlords found the prefect Li Wenxuan, and even directly found the General Military Mansion, asking the General Military Mansion to send troops to eliminate this bandit and restore a peaceful environment in Datong Mansion.
Finally, under everyone's expectations, the General Military Office spoke.
As a participant in the whole plan, Zhou Shuyuan, after glancing at the dozens of representatives of the official gentry in the lobby, said with a smile: "You are all famous people in our Datong Mansion, and our General Military Mansion and the Datong garrison will definitely ensure the safety of you and your families..."
"We, the General Army, have said that as long as you continue to support the plans of the General Military Office, the General Military Office will ensure everyone's safety. However, if there are people who do not support the General Military Administration, it will never be possible to ensure the safety of every household under the condition that the General Military Government and the Datong garrison have limited troops, nor will it be possible to wipe out all the bandits in Datong Prefecture..."
"Threatened...", that's the first thing that comes to everyone's mind when they hear this.
Just when everyone returned to their homes with anxiety and ordered the family to start a strict defense against bandits. A message, like a gust of wind, quickly spread in the territory of Datong Province.
"It wasn't the bandits who attacked the Zhou family at night, it was the tiger and leopard army under the command of the chief soldier..."
"The General Military Mansion has just eliminated 10,000 rebel elites, at this time, how can there be bandits who dare to take the risk of entering the territory of Datong Mansion to plunder, aren't they afraid of death..."
"The major families that have been attacked for five consecutive days are all those who do not support the General Military Mansion, do not hand over the land in their hands, and want to destroy the Tuntian of the General Military Mansion..."
"The Chief Soldier said privately that as long as he supports the General Soldier's Mansion to carry out Tuntian, the 'bandits' will not attack everyone. However, if someone makes trouble for the General Military Mansion and clings to the land and refuses to let go, then the 'bandits' will come next time. ”
At first, there were many people who were skeptical of these rumors, but the next ransack by the 'bandits' directly convinced everyone of these rumors.
It turned out that after this rumor spread, many gentry and landlords who had planned to hold the land in their hands at the beginning, in order to avoid the ruin of their families, immediately went to the general military palace and exchanged the land for silver.
Of course, there are also people who don't believe it, and they are bewitched by the king's foreign officials, and insist on not agreeing to cooperate with the General Military Office.
And these people have become the next targets of the 'bandits'.
For two consecutive nights, the two families were ransacked by bandits, and no one in the whole family escaped the net, and all of them were killed.
Not only that, but the vast wealth accumulated by these two families for several generations was also looted, and even the two Zhuangzi, which covered several acres of land, were burned by the bandits.
Faced with this result, the official gentry and landlords of Datong Mansion couldn't help but gasp.
However, because there is no evidence to prove that these things were done by the General Military Office, those officials and gentry landlords who insist on not agreeing to cooperate with the General Military Government can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and they can't say anything about their suffering. While expanding the size of the family and strengthening the defense, he began to pray to the heavens that the next target of the 'bandits' would not be himself.
Of course, there are also some official gentry and landlords, in the case of the Datong General Military Mansion covering the sky in Datong, decisively gave up cooperation with the king, took the title deed to the General Military Mansion to exchange silver, and pledged allegiance to the General Military Mansion, in order to get the General Military Mansion to let themselves go and not let the 'bandits' loot themselves...
