Chapter 23: Continued Expansion (4)
The rebel crossbowman was chopped to pieces by the angry people......
On the other side, the big iron sword also killed another rebel crossbowman at the cost of two soldiers' injuries. Fortunately, Da Tiejian is also a calm person, and he ordered someone to take down the crossbow machine from the crossbowman's body first, and then let people destroy his corpse.
The rebels, who lacked ranged units, were instantly overshadowed by the murderous aura of the security regiment. No matter how tacit cooperation is, if it is crushed by the number of people, it is just a memory of the dying patient to the world - for a while!
In the blood rain, Luo Yiyi, the leader of the first squadron, took the lead, relying on the infantry light armor, leather vest, large round shield, and one-handed cross sword on his body, he fought in and out of the enemy's encirclement, like a god of war.
In this regard, Chen Feng said to himself, "Today's rain is very heavy, just like the day Chen Haonan cut people." ”
In the end, except for a few rebels who were far away and fled, the others were either killed or surrendered.
Counting corpses, mending knives, tying up prisoners, gathering farmers, raiding homes, loading trucks, and ......
For the members of the security team who have experienced more than ten battles, these things are as easy as eating, bathing, and sleeping.
Chen Feng didn't care what they had done to this village, because the rules of this world were like that.
This...... A gift to the victors.
Numb!
But was it right to do so in the first place? That's right, that's right! Chen Feng thought so.
It wasn't until the evening that Chen Feng and his men began to cook at the farmer's house.
Chen Feng once ordered that at any time and under any circumstances, soldiers must cook by their own people when they go out on the expedition, and soldiers can only eat their own meals or food provided by the baggage team in addition to the dry food they carry with them.
In the 5,000-year history of China, Chen Feng more or less knew about the case of druggedness, even if he didn't try it himself, but he had taken cold medicine, and there were some sleeping pills in it, and he felt drowsy......
At sunset.
Chen Feng looked at the report compiled by his subordinates and was overjoyed!
One hundred and thirty-seven silver moons, two thousand bronze lions, eighteen carts of grain, five carts of leather and cotton, seventeen shields, fifteen pairs of infantry light armor, three knights' suits, and a number of noble jewelry. There are also supplies that can provide a brigade for a week's life.
These were only found in the rebels' warehouses and private collections, and most of the farmers' homes were not finished.
Watching the night fall, Chen Feng asked the villagers to go home and provide a team with the same amount of supplies to live for three days, and they were allowed to move to the new village in Rogue Town, otherwise they would be assigned to work in the mine for three years, regardless of men, women, old and weak.
The villagers scrambled to take out their private collections from all over the place, and Chen Feng said with a smile, "What a simple common person." ”
That night, Chen Feng stayed in this rebel village. Chen Feng did not give an order, and the soldiers under him did not dare to disturb the people, and some soldiers sat lonely and unbearable at the door.
Some of the peasants looked at the "lovely" group of soldiers and forgot that an hour before they were rummaging through their own homes.
"This soldier, is the welfare of your Rogue Town really so good? Can you still get a tax-free place? Can the nobles still divide their own mansions? An old man with gray hair looked at the soldiers who were teasing each other and summoned up the courage to ask.
"I said old man, are you questioning our great leader? Also, our town mayor and regimental commander are not nobles, we are security regiments. Does the security corps know? Protect the territory and the people! ”
Protecting the territory and the people??
"Protecting the land and the people?" Many farmers who had heard the term for the first time asked in surprise. "What is the protection of the territory and the people?"
"To protect the territory and the people is to protect the peace of one side and the hearts of the people."
"According to our captain, you have already paid your taxes just now, so you can join Rogue Town, but if you want to become a free citizen, you still need to work hard."
"According to past experience, it is to serve in labor, reach a certain share, you are allowed to reclaim wasteland, and after three years, this wasteland belongs to you, and the town of Rogue allows you to have the right to use this wasteland, and you only need to pay three layers of taxes every year."
"You know, the nobles collect six layers of taxes, and Rogue Town only collects half of the nobles, and a lot of miscellaneous taxes are abandoned, and only four taxes need to be paid: poll tax, land and hunting tax, transaction tax, and land security tax."
"Is it really that simple? This... You can't find a better town with a lantern in hand. ”
"But it's not, if you don't believe it, you can ask our squad leader and tell you that our head of the regiment personally held a wedding for him."
Wedding? Or did the head of the regiment pay for a treat and a hiring?
As we all know, marriage is subject to taxes, and the so-called wedding and funeral taxes are this. However, for the first time, they heard that there was a place in the world where they did not need to pay marriage tax, and they also helped people get married.
"Grandpa, I want to go to Rogue Town." A child was holding a rock sugar gourd that he didn't know where to go, licking it happily, looking at his grandfather, and said. "Let's move to Rogue Town."
"I'm going too, I'm going too."
More and more farmers gathered around, listening to the soldiers of the security regiment introduce the legendary town of Rogue and look at the smiles on their faces, which did not look like they were lying. Moreover, with such a well-equipped Rogue Town security regiment, they really felt at ease when they looked at it.
Originally, Chen Feng thought that it would take a lot of time to persuade and even use violence to move this village, but who would have thought that he would solve the big trouble in front of him in the ridicule of several soldiers.
"It seems... I need to change my strategy for conquering the wasteland! Chen Feng held his chin in contemplation.
……………………………
In the early morning, the sun shines on the world.
Chen Feng is about to divide his troops again.
The number of casualties this time is relatively large, from the last division of the army after the 260 people to now only 180 people, of which more than a dozen people were buried by Chen Feng forever in the land here, and there is no tombstone.
In order not to affect the pace of expansion, Chen Feng ordered the second squadron to rush to the next destination round with a full formation of 100 people. It is estimated that it will take a day and a half, just after the next village is taken, to be able to assist Chen Feng to complete the relocation of the village and the reorganization of the team.
The drastic reduction in personnel forced Chen Feng to change his route, first destroying the northernmost hill, and then joining the people of the second squadron in the village to the northeast of his return.
After walking for about three hours, Chen Feng finally reached today's destination.
On the hill in front of him was a band of robbers of forty men, who seldom plundered, but occupied the head of the village and collected the harvest of the peasants of the three surrounding villages. When other people came to fight the autumn wind, they would also help the farmers in the village to chase them away.
can also be regarded as a peer of Chen Feng's Luoge Town Security Corps.
Chen Feng thought about it carefully, if he could fuse them, it would be a good choice.
