Chapter 13: Panic
The head of this generation of guns and horses is named Liu Fengshan, and he is also a heroic figure, he chose a cottage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack in Beiheng Mountain, and it is convenient for horse thieves to escape, and he has painstakingly managed it, with three hundred Liu clan relatives as the core, recruited three thousand disciples, and roared in the mountains and forests, so that the nearby counties were terrified.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and after Liu Fengshan's death, the prestige of the eldest son was insufficient, and he couldn't suppress the arrogant generals under him.
In the end, Liu Fengshan's two younger brothers and three sons each led a team of people and became independent.
After more than 10 years of division and merger, fighting and killing, the horse thieves in Beihengshan are divided into more than ten shares, of which there are eight more famous shares, although these eight horse thieves are inextricably linked with the original guns and horses, but they are still in the hands of the Liu family, only Liu Fengshan's younger brother Liu Beishan is left, occupying the old village of guns and horses, still playing the banner of the way of heaven, still doing the work of robbing the rich and helping the poor, the largest number of people and the largest power.
Most of the remaining seven strands have degenerated into real horse thieves and plundered around.
And one of the most ferocious is the ghost horse that is entrenched in the eastern part of Beiheng Mountain.
Li Zheng, the big boss of the ghost horse, was originally Liu Fengshan's little son-in-law, and was the main culprit who provoked the Liu family's uncles and nephews to turn against him.
Within a few years, Li Zhengkui set aside Liu Fengshan's young son, and finally simply killed his brother-in-law and wife, and became a big boss himself.
Because of Jin Ma Liu's cruel behavior, there is a ghost word in the name of the big boss Li Zhengkui, and people do not call him Jin Ma Liu. And called a ghost horse, Li Zheng was not ashamed after hearing it. Instead, he was complacent, and simply changed the official name of the team to Ghost Horse.
Li Zhengkui apprenticed to Liu Fengshan in his early years. Because of his hard work and intelligence, Liu Fengshan's deep love for him married his youngest daughter to him, recruited his subordinates, and got a lot of true inheritance from the Liu family.
It is said that this man is cunning and vicious. But when practicing martial arts, he never took tricks and was lazy, and he practiced diligently over the years, and his martial arts have caught up with Liu Fengshan back then, and he has already become one of the congenital masters.
……
At this time, the system also issued new tasks in due course.
Advanced Quest "The Threat of Horse Thieves": The two horse thieves in the north of Linhai County are blocked by Wanghai Town on their way south, and they regard Wanghai Town as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of them as soon as possible.
The mission calls for assisting Count André's side in blocking the attack of the horse thieves and disarming the horse thieves' threat.
Just when the Ghost Horse Horse and the East Horse Horse Coalition Army came straight to Wanghai City. In Wanghai City, rumors also suddenly spread.
This rumor came suddenly and quickly, obviously not for no reason, Bai Qi can clean up the small works in the militia, but he can't clean up the hidden small works among the tens of thousands of displaced people.
Under the instigation and scare of those who have a heart. Many homeless people have packed up and want to escape from Wanghai City.
Count André was very angry at this situation.
André has come to see these refugees as his own people. According to Western culture and law, the people fled. It's already counted as a betrayal.
The knights and officers under Andrei's command also admonished that this situation could not be tolerated again. Otherwise, these Orientals will never learn to be loyal.
Bai Qi hurriedly spoke out to dissuade Andre, who was about to order a suppression.
Bai Qi persuaded: "Your Excellency, will it be good for us to defeat the enemy by leaving these refugees behind?" I don't think it's good, it's a nuisance, and in that case, you might as well let them go. It is also good to take this opportunity to divide the ranks in the territory. ”
"I think, just like the last time when the horse thieves came to the city, there are always some brave people who will not leave, why don't we give these people the status of freemen after the war, and divide the land outside the city, give them their share, allow them to live in the inner city, build them houses, and let these Orientals understand that only loyal people can receive your love."
"As for those who leave, when I am victorious, they will come back as before, and for these people, we will not allow them to enter the inner city, but can only live in the huts of the outer city, and hire them to work for us with food when we need them, and let them fend for themselves outside the city when we don't need them, so that we will have a large labor force and not have to carry a heavy burden, will we?"
"Moreover, the treatment of soldiers, militia and ordinary freedmen also needs to be pulled apart."
"I estimate that there will be people in the militia who will flee this time, and we must take thunderous measures for the militia who have fled, and those militias who have not fled, should we consider giving them some militia land, if someone passes our assessment and becomes a full-fledged soldier, there must also be a larger piece of soldier land to distinguish it."
"For these farmers, as long as we have land, we can tie them firmly to our chariots."
Andre carefully considered Bai Qi's words and felt that it made sense, so he immediately called the scholars and asked them to draw up a detailed plan according to Bai Qi's suggestion.
He also had orders to let the refugees leave freely.
In the end, Andrei ordered Bai Qi to mobilize the guards, surround the militia camp, single out the disloyalists among them, and hang them all.
Hearing Andrei's order, Bai Qi's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and bowed down to agree to Andrei's order......
The sudden spread of the message not only frightened the refugees, but also shook the morale of the militia.
At this time, many family members of the militia came to call for their families to leave together, and there was an uproar in the militia camp.
At this time, Bai Qi came to the militia camp with two brigades of guards.
Others don't know the strength of the guards soldiers, but these militiamen who have been trained by the soldiers know that these regular soldiers, if they pull one out at random and put it on the rivers and lakes, they can be regarded as third-rate masters.
The arrival of the guards immediately suppressed the riots in the barracks.
Bai Qi looked at the frightened faces in the barracks, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, but he knew that at this time, he must not be benevolent, otherwise, as aliens, they will never be able to master these people, and they will not be able to get supplements from the locals, Andre relies on the eight hundred Western soldiers under his command, it is impossible to occupy Beihai Prefecture, let alone Beihai Prefecture, this person, controlling two or three counties is a little nervous.
