294. Do not do it to live and get rich
All the minions looked at the enemy general, but they were all speechless. They also knew that the enemy general was helpless now, and there was no point in staying. It's time for them to think about their fate. Whether it is war or surrender means whether it is life or death, which needs to be carefully considered.
Seeing that the enemy general was already far away, I smiled again: "Actually, you can also choose for yourself." Whether to follow us to serve the imperial court and have no worries about food and clothing from now on, or continue to rob the house and take care of righteousness, is also everyone's choice. Those who surrender can come over immediately, and if you don't want to surrender, I won't beat you, I won't kill you, and I won't even scold you, just surround you first, wait for Zhang Xianzhong to come, and let everyone be a witness to see how I broke him. β
My performance was an instant sensation. The strength of a division, there are more than 100,000 people willing to surrender, and they have been taken over by our players. There is only a battalion or so of troops, and they are still looking at Zhang Xianzhong to come to the rescue, and they also want to see if I am true to my word.
Almost a battalion of players followed my army, and at this time they all came over to receive the surrendered troops. Each was divided into three people.
And I was in no mood to pay attention to these minions at this time, so I explained to the lieutenant in charge of leading the army, and asked them to pay attention to receiving the surrendered troops next. Because the rest of them are unwilling to surrender, they will be elite in the future, and I will swallow them myself. Of course, I don't mind letting Wu Wei accept it. As long as he has that luck.
Sure enough, after the enemy general returned, Zhang Xianzhong was also furious. In his mind, I am only two divisions of troops, and if I say more, it should not exceed his strength, and he can completely come out and take me. Before, the enemy general was ambushed, and now he is doing the opposite, and he will give me another ambush. Half an hour later, Zhang Xianzhong's army completed the encirclement of our army.
"General Kuma, the second general of the Hayama Army, right? I heard that you are a general of the imperial court, and you dare to come to fight Lao Zhang with a division of troops. Now that you have been surrounded by Lao Zhang, why don't you follow Lao Zhang and fight the world together? Zhang Xianzhong's wild laughter came from the bottom of the mountain.
And at this time, I took me and the elite of Wuwei's eight armies to complete the counter-encirclement of Zhang Xianzhong. The troops of the other three Jianshuai Divisions also poured out at the same time.
"Zhang Xianzhong, go back and take a look, see where my Xiong Er is. I Xiong Er brought tens of millions of male soldiers, and now I am surrounded by water. I was worried that your cottage was not easy to fight, but now it seems that it will be a piece of cake to win you. Now I Xiong Er asks you, are you surrendering, or are you stubbornly resisting? β
Zhang Xianzhong looked around, and sure enough, I was not lying. But who is Zhang Xianzhong, he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed: "There is only Zhang Xianzhong who died standing up, and there is no Zhang Xianzhong who fell to life." Today, Lao Zhang is planted in your hands, and it is not too wronged. Let the horses come. Lao Zhang is not afraid of you. β
I smiled: "Master Zhangzhai, this is your mistake." You want to die standing up, and I can fulfill you, but have you ever asked your brother in the cottage how many people are standing with you? Don't you want to let them live, and you want them to be buried with you? β
Zhang Xianzhong was furious: "Xiong Er, how can I be that kind of person." Brothers, life and death are at stake, if you don't want to die, surrender immediately, General Xiong Er must arrange you well, don't make senseless sacrifices with me Lao Zhang. β
I heard one of the thieves say excitedly: "What is this word of the village master?" I, Tao Xiong, usually drink wine and eat meat with the owner of the village, can't I share the hardships when the catastrophe comes? Tao Xiong is willing to live and die with the owner of the village. β
Next, tens of thousands of minions expressed their determination to share weal and woe with Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "Good brother, I have you, this life is enough." Those who are willing to share hardships with Lao Zhang come over. Do not be them, let them go down on their own. β
Sure enough, tens of thousands of minions converged on Zhang Xianzhong's side. Even those who didn't speak before, many of them are now infected, and in the end, there is a minions of the division who are willing to continue to live and die with Zhang Xianzhong. But the rest of the minions all ran over and surrendered.
As usual, I got the players on my clan to accept these drops. But for Zhang Xianzhong, I still didn't give up: "Zhang Zhai is really good." But such a good man should serve the country, and it would be a pity if he died. The official wants to persuade the owner of the village to surrender again, if the owner of the village is willing to surrender, the official promises not to dismantle the brothers, so that they can still follow the general. At the same time, the official will give the court a table and make the general a general of the forbidden army, I wonder if the general can think about it again? β
Zhang Xianzhong tilted his head: "This is an attractive suggestion." I just don't know what will happen to the military salary in the future, whether it will be paid in full, and whether it will be in arrears? If Lao Tzu is satisfied, Lao Tzu may drop a drop. β
I laughed: "General, where are you talking about this?" Of course, military salaries will be paid in full and there will be no arrears. Even if the imperial court wants to be in arrears, with the financial resources of the official, it can still make up for the general. The general should surrender with confidence. β
Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed, and turned back to everyone: "Now you can live and make a fortune, can you do it?" β
Everyone said in unison: "We are willing to follow the owner of the village, and wherever the owner of the village goes, I will go there." β
In front of everyone's eyes, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly turned over and dismounted, and bowed down in front of me: "The lord is above, I hope the lord can keep his promise, as long as the lord does not break his word, in the future, Lao Zhang's life will be the lord's." β
The minions behind him also turned over and dismounted, kneeling on the ground together. At this time, the minions who had been surrounded by a battalion had already been released according to my wishes, and they also knelt on the ground with Zhang Xianzhong. Seeing Wuwei, there was almost fire in his eyes. Just now, his saliva was dry, but no one was willing to surrender, but now it's good, it's all my people.
I didn't say much, and immediately asked Zhang Xianzhong to lead the way to receive the cottage. The regular bandits under Zhang Xianzhong's command are a military force, and the remaining millions are homeless, so I am in charge of letting everyone divide the homeless people together. However, there was a homeless soldier who was willing to follow Zhang Xianzhong and became my subordinate. Although this little soldier and population can fit between my teeth at the moment, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat. Besides, these people are the last to be left, and the last ones are of course good.
The seizures in the cottage are also relatively rich, and there was only one tin coin seized in Busan, and Zhang Xianzhong almost controlled the lifeblood of the entire Luoyang after the big bandits, and the fat flowed oil. In total, more than a hundred leaf coins were produced from him. In order to maintain the stability of the market, I did not distribute these leaf coins. After all, it's hard to divide too many people. Besides, there are only a few people who have contributed to it. So in the end, I gave Yuan Shi Tianzun 10 leaf coins and 1 leaf coin for tamales, which is already a huge amount of money compared to their previous income. And for the others, it didn't let them go empty-handed, so that each person had a wooden coin, so that they didn't come in vain after all.
Next, there are two things to do. One is to present to the court to meet Zhang Xianzhong's wishes. I'll need to make a trip to the palace myself. With my recommendation, it is naturally accurate as soon as it is said. Zhang Xianzhong was not only appointed as the general of the forbidden army, but also his minions were also organized into a reinforced division, with five battalions. Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed by this and immediately said that he had surrendered with all his heart.
The second thing, of course, is to hand in the task. The silver-level task is really rewarding, and the long-lost fourth-level A independent territory reward has reappeared. I built it in Zhang Xianzhong's lair, named it [Xianzhong Jia], and still let Zhang Xianzhong take a division of the forbidden army to be responsible for the guard. and mobilized the population and troops from the enclaves of Longmen Mountain to enrich this fourth-level armor. As for the other players who participated, there were almost thousands of people from the third-level A to the rewards of the manor. Of course, it is not a problem to continue to obtain skill rewards from the four major Assassin Organizations. It's just that the rewards for skills are still quite rubbish. In addition, the membership and registered disciple levels of the previous hundreds of players have not been improved, and the new participating players have obtained registered members and registered disciple status ranging from A level to C level.
When the rewards of the four assassin organizations were finished, the additional rewards also arrived, and all the players participating in the war got the Jing Gong Edict, and Hua Ling and I also got 10% of the full strength and full benefits. Now my strength has reached the intermediate level of a first-class general.
More than 200,000 players were jubilant when they got the edict of Jing Gong. Because their strength has been expanded by one level, their strength will inevitably be even stronger in the future. If it weren't particularly urgent, the old days when all realms had to give me a vassal would be gone. Now these players can be completely self-reliant in the war.
[Zhang Xianzhong] top crossing general. Commander 10 squares. Leader of the Peasant War in the late Ming Dynasty. With a violent personality, he once carried out a massacre in Sichuan, which led to the later filling of Sichuan by Huguang. At the same time, he was very cunning, often deceived the imperial court, took the military salary of the imperial court, and became part of the only army with military pay in the Ming Dynasty, like all the peasant armies at that time. The Art of War: Surrender. Formation: None. Skills: Cheating, rebellion, thief knife.
[Fraudulent surrender] pretending to surrender, defrauding the military salary and then rebelling again.
[Salary fraud] On the basis of fraudulent reduction, more military salaries are defrauded.
[Rebellion] Regardless of the limitations of the system, you can rebel against anyone at any time.
γThief KnifeγZhang Xianzhong's combat knife technique.
Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's introduction, I was speechless. I don't know if it's right or wrong to take him in. But at this point, I can only take one step at a time. Anyway, at present, Zhang Xianzhong is pinched in the palm of my hand, and he can repair it at any time. And with Zhang Xianzhong's shrewdness, I guess he won't rebel for the time being.
Originally, I wanted to continue the mission, but the leader of the Roaring Gang [Roaring Pacific] suddenly sent me a message, saying that he wanted to rely on me to develop the Roaring Gang. That is, they want to give me a territory. Of course, I will not refuse that. But as a result, I will be dragged down by their war. Because the Roaring Gang is now fighting another Australian gang, Missing the Queen.
Although the Roaring Gang is neither a member of the Wolong Forces nor the Taiping Forces, they are wholeheartedly supporters of Greater China. And to miss the Queen's Gang is to remember their former Commonwealth identity. Commonwealth identity, to be exact. Because since they were born, Australia has been part of Greater China. These people are more or less funded by various countries, so there are not many local people in Australia, but the number of players in this game is relatively large. At the same time, other countries have joined the gang, and often do not want to go with the Roaring Gang. At present, they are fighting to the death with the Roaring Gang in Jingzhou and the whole of Greater China, Aolai Country and any other war zone. However, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, their momentum was still very weak, and when the monsters attacked the village, they had not yet been seen.
And now, I'm going to fight as an ally of the Roaring Gang. This would be a move that would change the balance of victory and defeat for the Roaring Gang.
