Chapter 127: Spoils of War
Chapter 127: Spoils of War
Standing at the gate of the city, he counted the loot he had just snatched, and he had been counting for a full hour, but he still hadn't finished counting.
He had never seen so many valuable things in his life, how could a small city lord's mansion have such a huge amount of money? It was comparable to the treasury of the prince's mansion!
At the same time, he was also wondering, how could all those hundreds of Praetorian Guards move out in such a short period of time? This kind of combat power is too terrifying, right?
Han Fang was also surprised, and said angrily: "A small city lord's mansion can store so much wealth, how much people's fat and people's ointment will be looted! If we report to the king, we will definitely be able to punish him for the nine clans, and even his backer prince will be punished for this!"
"Report?" At this time, the second prince Yuan Hai also walked over, "Why do you want to report? The main body of Lingcheng is sympathetic to the people, his sleeves are clean, and he is already poor as a dog, besides, you have seen with your own eyes that the Lord of Lingcheng has been corrupt and bribery?"
"No, I don't see it. Han Fang was upright, and the master of the army naturally understood what Yuan Hai meant, and then said: "Ling City Lord is the Qingtian Lord of Yangcheng, how can he be corrupt and take bribes?"
Han Fang was stunned for a moment, and seemed to know the reason, the army went on an expedition, and naturally there was a place to spend money, even if it was reported, it was estimated that it would be intercepted by the criminal department Shangshu, and that criminal department Shangshu was the person of the eldest prince.
Yuan Hai smiled and said to the master of the army: "After the inventory is completed, take out one-tenth of it and give it to Zhou Zhengongzi of the sect affiliated to the Golden Gate Group, and give the rest to the brothers." ”
"One-tenth!?" The master of the army was stunned, that was a huge amount of money, and then he fell into deep thought, and then he suddenly realized, and said: "Yes, I understand, I will pick the most suitable one and send it over." ”
Another hour passed, and night gradually fell. The main book of the army was finally counted, and after carefully selecting the treasures of the unknown number of priceless belongings, he took out a tenth of it and distributed it directly to the Praetorian Guards.
The Praetorian Guards were also shocked, they couldn't think of so much money on a daily basis. As the saying goes, the building near the water gets the moon first, and they don't really divide it evenly, and then after a whistle from the South Korean side, they snatched up one-tenth of the property in an instant.
Although the five hundred people were divided into one-tenth of their belongings, basically everyone still got a lot of pills, weapons and the like, and they were also very excited.
And the remaining eight-tenths, of course, will not be distributed to the million army one by one. And directly in the city and the people bought a large amount of grain and grass. When the people learned that there was such a huge business to do, they were all so happy that they were about to faint, and Yuan Hai also specially said that it must be twice as high as the market price.
But even so, the remaining eight-tenths of the wealth was bought for the whole city, and the big fish and meat, and I don't know how many tons of rice, which was enough to feed a million army for several days, and there was also a surplus of gold coins.
Yuan Hai proposed to give all the surplus gold coins to the people, and the soldiers were in a good mood when they heard that they could eat big fish and meat for a few days, and they had no opinion on Yuan Hai's proposal.
The people were elated, laughing from ear to ear, setting off fireworks one after another, singing and dancing, quite a taste of the New Year's holiday, and some even coaxed and shouted: Long live His Royal Highness the Prince!
Everyone stood on the city gate, and the head of the army said to Yuan Hai: "Your Royal Highness Prince, although we are now benefiting the people of Li and gaining the hearts of the people, as soon as we leave, Ling Bo will still loot back what we have lost, and in the end it will be empty." ”
Han Fang also said coldly: "Otherwise, just kill it, anyway, it is also the eldest prince's person, presumably the second prince should be happy to do it." ”
Yuan Hai fell into deep thought, this can be regarded as a problem, but Zhou Zhen Gongzi only gave a tip. What can I do?
The head of the army said with a smile: "General Han is righteous and awe-inspiring, naturally he can't look at such a corrupt official, but the city lord's official position is small, and it is also appointed by the king himself, if he really kills it, it is equivalent to slapping the king in the face." ”
The South Korean side immediately knew the seriousness of the problem and was not in many words.
Yuan Hai is still pondering, this kill can't be killed, it can't be released, and it can't be reported, what should I do?
A quarter of an hour later, he really didn't want to waste his brain cells, a ruthlessness surged into his heart, he looked indifferently at the Ling father and son hanging at the gate of the city, and the killing intent came to his eyes.
"Kill it, it's a corrupt official anyway, and he's still the eldest brother's person. Even if my father knew about this, as a prince, I would not have done anything, and I would be scolded at most. In addition, there will be no exemption from military orders abroad. Take 10,000 steps back, who saw me kill him? It was clearly that he himself died of a sudden illness!"
Both the army master and Han Fang were taken aback, and looked at Yuan Hai in surprise, when did this polite prince be so ruthless and full of scheming?
And Yuan Hai was also shocked by his thoughts for a moment, and then said lightly: "Go ahead, Master Liang, let your eldest disciple take the position of the city lord of Yangcheng in the future." Don't let me down. ”
The master of the army was flustered for a while, and then he said happily: "Yes, Your Highness." ”
It was getting late, and Yuan Hai ordered to stay in Yangcheng and rest for a day.
Early the next morning, the million-strong army set out again. The soldiers had eaten enough meat last night, and they were all still talking about how good the beef was, and the cook couldn't do it, and they were all smiling, and the march was much faster.
In every city, the highest chief executive is the lord of the city. And once appointed, it will basically be hereditary permanently, and there are some city lords' mansions that have been handed down for hundreds or even hundreds of years, almost all of them are rich, not much worse than the princes, and some are even richer than the princes.
After passing through Yangcheng, Yuan Hai deliberately went to the city not far from the marching route and obeyed Yuan Yang's orders, and there was no doubt that the treasury of its city lord was looted again.
This news reached Yuan Yang's ears, and Yuan Yang learned that the cities attached to him had been robbed by Yuan Hai, so he was furious in the mansion, and even kicked and broke many valuable vases.
"Yuan Hai, I am inseparable from you!"
