137 Another leader has run away
After more than half an hour passed, the captain of the town guard who was still at the head of the city was pacing back and forth anxiously, before the mayor asked him to lead people to stand by here, but the last time given by the army outside was almost up, why hasn't this order come yet?
"Report ~~~
Captain, no, Mayor Mare has fled by boat with his family and servants! ”
"What?! Tell me again! ”
The captain of the town guard glared at the messenger's clothes and scolded.
"Team...... Captain, the mayor fled by boat with his family and minions......"
"Damn, the people of the Zhaowu family are all a group of bad breeds, all of them, ready to ......
Open the door and surrender! ”
The captain of the town guard gave the order to surrender very heartily when he saw the line infantry in blue uniforms outside the city begin to line up the attack formation......
The surrounding soldiers let out a long sigh of relief when they heard the order, and then conveyed the order to the other castleheads as if it were a holiday.
The order to surrender must be spread throughout Tomato Town, and if there is a misunderstanding caused by an unsightly shooting at the army outside the city, the whole town will be buried with him!
Maupassant, who commanded this large army, was quickly promoted by Richard to be a temporary general because he did not take the lives of his soldiers seriously, and when he saw the tomato town open, he smiled coldly and ordered: "The whole army enters the city, searches the entire town, collects all weapons and ammunition, and kills anyone who encounters resistance!"
Well, in the name of it, for the sake of law and order, our Wang Jiajun issued a gun ban, and no one can hold gunpowder weapons.
All of them! ”
Maupassant's order was quickly conveyed meticulously, and these French line infantry from another space carried out the order without discount, after all, they themselves are not a real human being, they are bound by the employment rules of another space, as long as Wang Ziming does not break the contract, they are the most loyal and brave soldiers!
After a large group of blue-uniformed French line infantry poured into Tomato Town, the town guard of Tomato Town was quickly disarmed, but Maupassant did not break his promise, as long as no one resisted, no one would be harmed.
Although he didn't catch Zhaowu killing the mayor, Maupassant was not angry, and he didn't even have a trace of emotional fluctuations in his heart, after all, in the eyes of this general with tens of thousands of troops, the life or death of a town mayor was insignificant.
All he needs is a weapon in Tomato Town and a gunsmith's workshop!
Yes, Tomato Town, as the largest trading market town on the edge of the Devil's Mountains, naturally has a gunsmith's workshop that can imitate the dragon rifle.
Although the scale of this handicraft workshop is not large, the craftsmen inside can create the Longzheng rifle, provided that there are enough raw materials!
Wang Ziming naturally won't let the French line infantry use backward flintlock pistols all the time, and it is a matter of time before they change their Longzheng rifles, but the number of French line infantry is too much, and if they want to reload more than two million people with Longzheng rifles, even the entire Rees City colonial area can't make it up!
But it's still okay to change clothes on a small scale.
Hundreds of the main forces of the French line infantry heading for Rees have replaced their captured Longzheng rifles and used them as special troops.
In addition to the gunsmith workshop, Tomato Town also has a set of handmade production workshops for Longzheng rifle ammunition.
In addition, the large amount of food stored in the warehouse in Tomato Town is also a material that Wang Ziming values!
After sealing the large warehouse in Tomato Town, the first to suffer were the merchants who didn't have time to run.
As long as the goods in the hands of these merchants were useful, they were all requisitioned by the royal army, and the compensation given was an IOU in black and white listed by the infantry of the French line......
Oh yes, and there's also the Purple Dragon Federation currency that was looted from the town and didn't have much use for Wang Ziming.
However, not many merchants were able to receive federal currency, as it was paid to the injured civilians in the ensuing firearms seizure campaign.
Clearly, Maupassant treated the townsfolk differently from the merchants, who received most of the IOUs of little use, and the inhabitants who received federal currency.
Who called the merchant's goods of great value, while the inhabitants only had to hand over their guns and ammunition?
In fact, those IOUs were all consolation, Maupassant didn't intend to repay them at all, there was not even a seal of the Wang Jiajun on them, just one person could forge them!
But under the bright bayonets, what could those merchants do other than deliver the IOUs?
No matter how honest you are, you have to hand over your life!
After the gun ban was completed, Maupassant used the goods he had just grabbed and federal currency to gather a group of small-town tailors and start making the banner of the royal army.
That is, a military flag with the word 'king' was drawn.
In the Purple Dragon Federation, the average aristocratic private army will use their family's surname as their banner.
After all, the aristocratic private army is not something that any nobleman can have.
Except for the garrison in Tomato Town, Maupassant did not do much damage to the rest of Tomato Town, and the disarmed town guards and the original town prisoners (including Hu Jianguo's soldiers) were all taken to the Devil's Mountains.
These people are different from ordinary residents and merchants, they are all soldiers who can fight, and Wang Ziming naturally can't let them go!
So all of them went to work as miners in the Devil's Mountains!
Now the guards in the Devil's Mountains are very sufficient, and even the Swedish senior town militia and Swedish pistols are constantly actively looking for demonic creatures to the periphery of the Devil's Mountains to encircle and cleanse.
The periphery of the Devil's Mountain Range is about to be turned into a military stronghold by Wang Ziming!
So as long as these people enter the Devil's Mountain Range, without Wang Ziming nodding, they won't want to come out in this life......
On the official road to Reece City, Wang Ziming rode on a horse that grabbed it from nowhere...... The captured high-headed horse, Wang Le was responsible for holding the reins for him and slowly moving forward.
Wang Ziming, who was riding a horse, was much slower than the French line infantry that was constantly surpassing around him, mainly because Wang Ziming didn't want his ass to suffer, so he let the horse slow down and reduce the bumps.
Wang Ziming, who was on the march, soon met the captives captured by Tomato Town, who had been pressed back.
Then Wang Ziming asked Wang Le to recognize people.
It didn't take long for Wang Le to bring the depressed Hu Jianguo over.
Wang Ziming glanced at the bruise on Hu Jianguo's face and Wang Le's smug expression, and his eyes couldn't help but become strange.
This Wang Le's revenge is very heavy, and he is too ruthless......
"Young master, I have already interrogated, he is the leader of this conspiracy, his real name is Hu Jianguo, he is the henchman of Li Chengdong, a second-generation military in Rees City, and his mission this time is to disguise himself as a bandit and enter the Devil's Mountain Range to kill the young master."
Wang Leyan explained succinctly.
"Li Chengdong? Who is he? Why did you kill me? ”
Wang Ziming, who thought that Hu Jianguo was the dog leg of the Yuwen family, couldn't help but be stunned.
