With the help of Song Xin's interception and murder of Liu Wen, Li Xin can be said to have established his authority in Xiangyang City in just one day......

And then you can catch whoever you want.

None of the gentry involved in Xiangyang City escaped his clutches.

All of them went to the government prison.

As for the general judge of the government, who was higher than him, after being invited to a room by him alone for a long talk for ten minutes, he immediately gave full support to his action to eliminate the anti-party, after all, everything that remained at this time actually belonged to that kind of wall grass.

Li Tuifu is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, even if he is one level lower than himself, he has to serve as an official.

These gentry all tried to provoke a popular uprising and fool the people into using them as cannon fodder, but this technique was like a farce in front of Li Xin, who had learned some special theories. As he himself said, whoever wants to be faithful to the Lord should stand up and fight with him personally, and see what these gentry and old men have that are worthy of your death?

Is it their clan?

When they oppressed you, did they ever think that you were a clan?

Is it their hired worker?

The treatment they give you can catch up with the workers of Wutai Mountain?

Is it their tenants?

Are you cheap, don't you wait for the court to confiscate their family registrations, and then turn their land into official land and distribute it to you to continue farming, and you don't have to pay more than 50% of the rent from now on, but you will ensure that they continue to be cattle and horses for them?

Are you cheap or cheap?

……

All of them were defeated in front of him.

In the final analysis, compared with the old Confucian officials, these students trained by Yang Feng can basically be said to be comprehensively crushed, Wen can play theory, Wu can lead troops to the battlefield, know everything about astronomy and geography, understand water conservancy construction, and can play finance. Although their knowledge is not very good, they can only be said to have dabbled in something, but the problem is that they are all the most advanced at present, and compared with the old officials, they are like a person standing on a high place in the clear sky and looking far away, and a person groping in the dawn in the thick fog.

There is no comparison at all.

However, at this time, Liu Wen, who also went north to Dengzhou, had to face a more severe form.

"It's all messed up!"

Standing on the mound, Judge Liu looked at a small village with rammed earth walls in front of him.

The fortress is being attacked and defended......

At least for the young men who are fighting, this can be regarded as the attack and defense of the fortress, the attacking side is more than a thousand young men, all of them are cold weapons, but there are a large number of bows and arrows, and the defenders should be all the movable people in this small village, even including many women, who rely on rammed earth walls.

This wall is found in many villages, not only against bandits and thieves, but also against wild beasts.

These walls are narrow.

Only the four corners have archers.

And inside the walls were a large number of young men with spears and even farm tools.

There is also a tripod standing on bamboo and wood.

As soon as the attacker peeked out of the wall, he immediately stabbed at it.

There must have been a lot of shooting holes in the wall, there were archers shooting arrows outward, there were people throwing stones outside with slings, women holding pot lids and the like as shields, constantly moving around the village to transport, and even the highest roof in the village was commanded with flags.

"The folk customs are simple and the martial arts are abundant!"

Liu Wen commented on this with the adjectives that Ambassador Yang is accustomed to using.

Of course, this is the case in most villages at this time.

Looking at the flags waving inside and constantly deploying personnel, this is definitely a real war.

At this time, Xiaoqi returned.

He had just gone to the people watching the battle to inquire......

Well, it's just for the spectators.

In fact, there were more people watching the battle than participating in the battle, and at least tens of thousands of idlers around watched the battle, one by one watching with relish, and many people were still shouting excitedly, as if they were not fighting each other, but adding entertainment to their poor lives.

"Judge Liu, I understand, the attack is on the Dengzhou Zhongyi Society, that is, Dengzhou and the gentry of Xinye, Neixiang, Xichuan and other places under its jurisdiction, by purging the Tie family and those Semu families, they are formed together, in the name of praying for rain, but in fact, they advance and retreat together. They agreed that as long as the magistrates of the imperial court came, those who liked them could stay as officials, and those who did not meet their wishes would be driven out together. However, in fact, the gentry who participated in the Chungyi Society were more likely to deal with the local gentry who refused to listen to them, and the village had a grudge against the local gentry in the Chungyi Society, who said that they had Tie Xuan's nephew hidden here and wanted to go in and arrest him.

The village was not allowed to search, and the two sides fought like this.

That's the person.

It is estimated that it is revenge for personal gain. ”

Xiaoqi pointed to a middle-aged man on the mound not far away.

The latter was dressed in a showy shirt, sitting on the chair, looking at the battle ahead with a commanding posture, but he was already victorious, after all, it was just a small village opposite, without this wall, he would have killed it a long time ago, but how long can a rammed earth wall last?

What's more, he still has an absolute advantage in numbers.

"What about the magistrate?"

Liu Wen said.

"The magistrate doesn't care, there have been many fights like this kind of weapon recently, and the magistrates are hiding, and they can't control it, but I don't know why even Nanyang Wei didn't send troops, it is said that it is so close, they will not be unclear."

Xiaoqi said.

"It's someone deliberately trying to mess up the place."

Liu Wen sneered.

After he finished speaking, he dismounted directly.

"What's his name?"

He asked.

"Li Shan, a tribute student, was originally in Taixue, and came back from the capital at the beginning of the year."

Liu Wen nodded and walked straight over.

Soon, however, several young men from the attacking side came to stop him.

"A certain Xiuwu Wang's family, Hongwu Bingzi raised people, and Brother Li knew each other, and returned from Jinhua to abandon the official, so go and report it quickly."

Liu Wen put on a posture of an official and shouted.

The young man led by him hurriedly ran to Li Shan, who looked up at Liu Wen unexpectedly, Liu Wen hurriedly raised his hand to him, Li Shan immediately got up, not that he was easy to deceive, but that Wang Juren really has this person, Xiuwu Wang Duo, Liu Wen and he still have some dealings. And Wang Duo is a native of Henan, and belongs to the current stage of the goal of Li Shan, who must know the name, and even knew each other before, but Liu Wen is sure that even if they really meet, they are only general friends, after all, one is the northernmost and the other is the southernmost, and they haven't met for many years, because Wang Duo went to Zhejiang to be an official four years ago, and at this time he was studying in Jinhua Mansion as a teacher. And the difference between Liu Wen's figure and appearance and him is not the kind that can be distinguished at a glance, as for the dialect of Jiaozuo, he can also speak it, because his family's ancestral home is there, and his father was a homeless person who was incorporated by the Ming army, and then went to Guizhou as a military household.

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for many years, but I don't want to meet here!"

He shouted enthusiastically.

Li Shan also hurriedly put on a smile.

"Brother Wang, after five years of farewell in the capital, I almost didn't recognize it."

He shouted.

Then he came over.

The two met face to face.

"Brother Wang, I heard that you are an official in Jinhua, and now you don't want to suffer from that traitorous anger anymore?"

Li Shan said with a smile on his face and straightened his waist.

And then......

"Bang!"

Suddenly the shots rang out.

With a frozen look of consternation, as well as the bullet hole on his forehead, he looked at the short gun in Liu Wen's hand.

"yes, that's why I'm here to rape."

Liu Wen said sincerely.

The next moment, Li Shan's dead body fell.

The surrounding Qingzhuang were stupid, and then they came to their senses, roared like crazy, and were about to rush upwards when they drew their knives, but at the same time, Jin Yiwei behind Liu Wen pulled the trigger, and the three Qingzhuang fell down at the same time, and Liu Wen's second short gun was on the head of the Qingzhuang, and he immediately looked around and looked at the stunned Qingzhuang.

"This official is the new judge of Dengzhou, you have thought clearly, daring to do it to me is a rebellion, a big crime of stealing the family and punishing the nine clans, this official doesn't care what you fought for before, now that this official has arrived, everyone has to listen to this official, go and tell them, stop attacking, otherwise this official will transfer troops to Nanyang Wei, and all those involved in the armed fight will be killed according to rebellion."

Liu Wen shouted.

The knife in the leader's hand immediately fell.

"Don't go yet!"

Liu Wen shouted at another young man.

The latter hurriedly threw away his knife and ran towards the attacking young man.

"Tell those young people over there, everyone has always made money, and they will follow me if they want money."

Liu Wen then shouted at Xiaoqi.

He was talking about the onlookers.

Xiaoqi immediately ran over, and soon Qingzhuang followed him to this side, and those attacking Qingzhuang were still hesitating, but when the Qingzhuang around Liu Wen had rapidly swelled to thousands of them, the leader immediately ordered to stop the attack, and ran to Liu Wen with a few main subordinates.

And then......

"Bang!"

He also had an extra bullet hole in the door of his head.

"Only punish the evil, and if he dies, you will be innocent!"

Liu Wen held the short hammer and looked at the stunned young men in front of him.

The latter immediately woke up.

Indeed, if this official doesn't kill people, it means that he will settle accounts after the autumn, after all, this kind of weapon fight must have someone to bear everything after all, if you coax them now, it is the most dangerous, and you don't know which ones to kill when you settle accounts after the autumn! But now directly killing the leader means that this guy is back for all the crimes.

"Big master, the little ones are all forced, his clan is powerful, and he colludes with bandits, the small ones dare not obey, their Li family will collude with bandits to destroy the door, his family is a well-known bully in this place, killing people and goods, colluding with bandits, and trafficking in human beings, the small ones are willing to make meritorious contributions!"

One of them immediately knelt down and cried with a handful of snot and tears.

Then the others cried.

A young man next to him who was originally watching the battle wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Wen raising his hand.

"Therefore, their Li family has an enmity with this village, and they use the power of the Loyalty Society to force you to attack this village with them, if you don't want to, then he will take the people of the Loyalty Society to beat you first? As long as you follow the official to exterminate this group of rebels, then not only are you not guilty, but there will be a heavy reward after the deed, if the Zhongyi Society is like the Li family, you want to come to the capital with a lot of money, right? ”

Liu Wen said with a pleasant face.

"If you have money, you have money!"

"Those who enter the Zhongyi Society will have at least a thousand acres of fertile land, or have a reputation for showing talents."

……

The guys immediately scrambled to speak.

"Then these are all fat sheep!"

Liu Wen said like a rogue leader.

At this time, even the chief of the village rushed over.

"Take the young people in your village, follow the official as a personal soldier, and I will take you to copy the Li family first."

Liu Wen said very simply.

"The little one swears to follow the big master!"

The man knelt down and kowtowed excitedly and shouted.

They can guarantee maximum loyalty, after all, Liu Wen can be regarded as saving their whole village, and those hired young men belong to Liu Wen's soldiers and horses, and those who have made meritorious contributions belong to the new annexed army that specializes in rushing to the front. In this way, a very rogue style army was formed, Judge Liu put on an official uniform, rode a horse, and took the brocade guards who also wore yellow armor, and killed the Li family violently, tied up all the men, and then put out the property copied from the Li family to reward his subordinates, and the Li family's title deed was taken out and burned directly in front of everyone.

The tenants who planted his land did not have to pay rent to his family in the future.

The title deed is gone, and it's a fart!

His shop has no officials.

……

In this way, it can almost be said that in the blink of an eye he has gained true allegiance.

Even the tenants of the other gentry families of the Zhongyi Society were excitedly carrying hoes and the like as weapons, and Liu Qingtian ran to follow them, and in the evening, Liu Qingtian took tens of thousands of young men to the city of Dengzhou like a rogue in the city. Then, as if a rogue was approaching the city, the poor people in the city flocked to the city gate, and in the howl of the gentry and old men of the Zhongyi Society, they opened the city gate to their Liu Qingtian.

And then......

"The grass people welcome the Qingtian Lord, the Qingtian Lord is here, and the sky in Dengzhou will be clear!"

"The grass people are willing to offer thousands of dollars to help the Qingtian Lord reward."

……

A group of elderly villagers of the Zhongyi Society were very happy to greet them in front of the city gate.

Liu Wen pointed to the leader.

"Isn't he?"

He asked.

"Back to the eldest master, it was he who took the lead in the rebellion, he and Li Shan are in-laws, and the organization of the Zhongyi Society is to fight against the imperial court, and he also said that in the future, the officials of the imperial court will come, and they will listen to them honestly, and if they dare not listen, they will pretend to be bandits in the middle of the night and cut down."

"Yes, he also killed eight members of the Tie family and snatched the two women of the Tie family to his own house and ruined them."

……

Li Shan's subordinates, who had defected, testified one after another.

Liu Wen looked at the man with a smile, and the latter laughed like crying.

"Rebel and cause chaos, and correct the law on the spot!"

Liu Wen shouted.

The next moment, his short gun was raised, and before the old countryman could react, he directly pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The corpse of the old man fell.

The other old villagers in the back collapsed instantly.

"Run!"

One of them shouted.

Then they all turned around like crazy and tried to get out of here.

"Forming associations to rebel and cause chaos, all of them will be corrected on the spot!"

Liu Wen shouted very calmly.

Immediately after that, he raised the second short gun and pulled the trigger on the back of an old countryman, and the short gun in the hands of the Jinyi guards on both sides of him also pulled the trigger, and the old townsmen who fled in the continuous gunfire also fell, and soon the members of the Zhongyi Society who came to greet them all turned into dead bodies in front of the city gate.

Liu Wen carried two short guns and looked at the shocked people around him......

"What are you looking at, hurry up and lead the way, go to their house and copy out the title deed, and you don't have to pay rent to them in the future."

He said.

The next moment was a myriad of fanatical cheers.
