Chapter 260: Great Cleverness
Just as Qin Wei was visiting the Qin family's mansion, fifty miles east of Fushan Port, a large ship was heading in the direction away from Fushan Port.
On the deck of the big ship, the snowcoat made a quiet standing, frowning slightly, looking at the blue sky.
"My lord, everyone in Fukuyama Castle has been evacuated."
The burly man came up behind her and reported.
"How much is the loss?" The snowcoat asked.
"Three hundred and twelve were killed and seventy-two were seriously wounded." The burly man said.
This time the rebellion of Fushan City, the rebellion of the red turban thieves dispatched a total of more than 3,000 people, compared to the population of the entire Fushan City, 3,000 people are nothing at all, but the inaction of the officials and the poverty of ordinary people make Fushan City like a powder keg, as long as a little spark will explode.
More than 3,000 red turban thieves entered Fushan City, which immediately caused a rebellion among tens of thousands of poor people.
is not only the poor people, but also many street gangsters, Jianghu warriors, who are also doing things.
Anyway, there were only 3,000 real red turban thieves, but there were as many as tens of thousands of rebellious people, causing the entire Fukuyama City to fall into chaos in just half an hour.
The snowcoat envoy bowed slightly, not caring about the dead and wounded, but asked, "What did those mysterious people do?" β
"I don't know, they seem to have disappeared." The burly man said.
"Gone!" The snowsuit made a slight stunned.
"Well, when we retreated, they were all gone." The burly man said.
"How did it disappear?" The snow suit made it very puzzled.
Naturally, the members of the net will not disappear, they just went to the Qin family, and with the cover of the Qin family, they only need to change their clothes to become the Qin family's family guard.
Of course, if they inquire carefully, they can still find the flaws in the net, after all, there will inevitably be mistakes in the actions of so many people in the net, but they are in a hurry to withdraw from Fushan City, and they have no time to search.
The burly man bowed his head and said, "Their whereabouts are very secretive, even more secretive than our actions. β
The snowsuit narrowed his eyes slightly, and he took a deep breath.
"That's it, let's go back first."
"This time our plan has failed completely, and we will need to make a new plan when we go back."
"You leave a few people here, try to search for those people's traces, and find out their identities."
Because of the appearance of Zhao Gao and the others, she had to give up this plan, there were three mysterious Silent Realm powerhouses in Fushan City, where did she dare to do things in Fushan City, so after leaving the Nan Family Mansion at that time, she immediately ordered all to retreat.
In this regard, although she was unwilling, she was helpless.
However, she still wanted to find out the identity and origin of Zhao Gao and others, and she always felt that she would meet these people in the future.
β¦β¦
Meanwhile.
Outside Fukuyama Castle, a large army was slowly marching in the direction of Fukuyama Castle.
As one of the four major islands of the Luofu Dynasty, Beiyuan Island is not small, with 1,300 li from east to west and 800 li from north to south, and 123 counties of 18 prefectures in three provinces are set up on it. And there is a Shenwu army stationed.
The Shenwu army is one of the four armies of the Luofu Dynasty, with a total of 300,000 soldiers, divided into five armies, front, back, left, right, and middle.
Among them, the closest to Fukuyama Castle is the Shenmu Rear Army.
There were red turban thieves in Fushan City, and after receiving the news, Liu Hua, the commander of the Shenwu Rear Army, immediately led 30,000 elites to help.
Dutong is the official position of the military general of the Luofu Dynasty, the chief general of the first army, and there are commanders on it, and there are generals such as generals and deputy generals under it.
Liu Hua commanded the army after Shenwu, and there were 50,000 soldiers under his command, and his main responsibility was to guard the place.
At this time, he looked at the devastated Fukuyama Castle, and his eyes were full of coldness.
"These damn red turban thieves!"
He used to hate the Red Turban Thief, because the Red Turban Thief was a rebel, and he was a military attachΓ© of the imperial court.
Now he hates the Red Turban Thief even more, because the Red Turban Thief is actually making trouble on his turf.
He didn't care about the lives of the people in Fukuyama City, all he cared about was the reproach of the court.
Although he will not lose his official position as the commander of the military capital after Shenwu because of this, a reprimand is inevitable.
"Report, Lord Dutong, all the red turban thieves in the city have fled!"
A scout came back from Fukuyama Castle and reported.
"Hmmm! Escaped! Liu Hua was a little surprised, "Do you know why they want to escape?" β
According to the Red Turban Thieves' style, they will definitely not retreat easily after occupying Fukuyama Castle.
But now the red scarf thief actually ran away in advance!
"I don't know, it is said that around the early morning, they left the port by boat." Scout reports.
When Liu Hua heard this, he was thoughtful, and then his eyes lit up.
"You guys lead a team to the city and control all the dead people in the city!"
He said to several generals next to him.
How many generals were slightly stunned and controlled the dead?
How can this be controlled?
Seeing that a group of subordinates were so unwise, Liu Hua's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said: "A group of brainless reckless men save the corpses of those dead people and tie them with red scarves, they are our military exploits, understand?" β
As soon as these words came out, the generals immediately understood.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"Hurry up, wait for the next general to write a report to the court, and say that we have taken back Fushan City after a battle! You can understand! β
"The last general understands!"
Liu Hua saw that they were finally smarter, and nodded with satisfaction.
If this red turban thief occupies Fukuyama Castle, then he will inevitably reprimand.
But if he recaptures Fushan City from the Red Turban Thief, not only will he not be reprimanded, but he will also be judged for merit, and a reward will be indispensable.
The thought that he could get a reward for this suddenly turned his bad mood into a beautiful one.
What a genius!
Liu Hua walked towards Fushan City with a smile on his face.
β¦β¦
In the days that followed, Fukuyama Castle gradually recovered from the disaster.
It's just that the arrival of the Shenwu rear army brought a lot of trouble to Fukuyama City, and after these soldiers entered the city, they neither worried the people nor the thieves, but snatched the corpses from the people.
Those who had no relatives were enough, but those who had relatives were also robbed, and after snatching the corpses back, they all gathered in the open space outside the city, cut off their heads, and salted them with lime to prevent them from rotting.
Such an act made the people in the city angry, and for a time, the entire Fukuyama City was full of resentment and public opinion was boiling.
It's a pity that the people dare not speak out.
When Qin Wei heard such a thing, he felt a little incredulous.
Take the corpses of the dead people as a battle merit!
Which clever man came up with this!
Inside the Qin family's mansion.
Qin Wei sat in the pavilion in the courtyard and asked with some surprise, "Who is the main general of this Shenwu Rear Army?" β
"Liu Hua, a descendant of the Liu family, a family of military generals in Luofu Kyoto, has the cultivation of the innate two realms." Zhao Gao sat next to him and said.
The Kyoto of the Luofu Dynasty is located on Nanqing Island, and the Luofu Dynasty is controlled by a very wealthy family, and the Luofu Emperor cannot be said to be a puppet, but his authority is extremely low, and he is simply unable to compete with those wealthy families.
The army of the Luofu Dynasty was basically controlled by those wealthy families in Kyoto, and local wealthy families such as the Nan family and the Qin family in Fukuyama Castle were far worse than the wealthy families in Kyoto.
If the few wealthy families who control the court are first-class wealthy families, then the Nan family in Fushan City can be regarded as second-rate at best, and the declining Qin family can only be regarded as a third-rate wealthy family.
"Interesting, interesting!" Qin Wei said with a smile.
This Liu Hua is really interesting, he can come up with such a way.
Zhao Gao said lightly: "It's just a little clever general." β
"It's just a little cleverness that makes it interesting!" Qin Wei said.
Zhao Gao naturally didn't look down on people like Liu Hua, so he changed his voice and asked, "What should we do next?" β
Qin Wei raised his head in surprise and said, "Didn't you plan it a long time ago?" β
Zhao Gao shook his head, "Although the minion has some plans in mind, it will take a long time, and it is estimated that it will take three or five years to complete. β
If you want to win a dynasty, it is not an easy thing.
Even if Zhao Gao is good at intrigue and trickery, it is impossible to take down a dynasty easily.
What's more, the overall strength of the Luofu Dynasty far exceeds that of the net, no matter how good the plan is, it is useless if it does not have enough strength to implement it.
Qin Wei smiled, "What's the hurry, just take your time." β
"Let's take Fushan City first, as long as we take Fushan City, this Luofu Dynasty will be my son's sooner or later!"
He's not talking big, but he's having that confidence.
Maybe the strength of Dali is not weak in the Luofu Dynasty now, but it won't take long for Dali's strength to surpass the Luofu Dynasty.
"When the official position of this son comes down, we will make money first, and then talk about other things."
Qin Wei said.
Money is the foundation of everything.
If you want to build a great dynasty, you must have a strong army.
This is different from his original situation in Dali, where he was the emperor's grandson and could legitimately inherit the throne.
And here he can only rebel.
Since you want to rebel, you naturally have to form a large army, so you can't send a large army from Dali. Not to mention the trouble of transportation, if he will transfer troops from Dali, then his identity cannot be concealed, and the previous consideration will be meaningless.
"Make money!"
Zhao Gao was slightly surprised, but then nodded, agreeing with Qin Wei's idea.
"When will the official office be appointed?" Qin Wei asked.
"It is estimated that it will take half a month." Zhao Gaodao.
"Oh! It only takes half a month? Qin Wei was a little surprised.
The prefect of a prefecture is not a petty official, and in Dali it is a fourth-rank or fourth-rank official position, which must be proposed by the ministry and appointed with the consent of the cabinet.
In the Luofu Dynasty, the official position of the prefect was similar, and it stands to reason that it should also be appointed by the court.
Half a month is not enough time to run back and forth from Fukuyama Castle to Luofu Kyoto.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver, it only needs to be recognized by the Yamen." Zhao Gaodao.
Jinglue Yamen is the highest local official of the Luofu Dynasty, in charge of the military and civil affairs of a province, similar to the collection of the Dali Dusi Yamen and the Buzheng Yamen.
The key is that the Luofu Dynasty did not have a local supervision yamen, and there was a department of inspection in Dali, while the Luofu Dynasty did not have any local supervision agencies, only the central court had a royal history platform.
With such a regulatory system, it is strange that the Luofu Dynasty is not chaotic in the local area.
It's just that Qin Wei didn't expect that the appointment of an official of the prefect only needed the consent of the Yamen, and Qin Wei didn't know what to say for a while.
And it only costs 100,000 taels of silver, which is really cheap to open the door cheaply, and it's cheap to get home.
"That son is waiting to take office!" Qin Wei could only say so.
β¦β¦
Fukuyama Castle, inside the prefect's yamen.
Liu Huazheng sat in the hall of the government with a happy face.
Ever since he thought that he could use the corpses of ordinary people as a military merit, he had always been in a good mood.
But something better awaited him.
"My lord, there is something that my subordinates don't know whether to talk about it or not!"
A middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt stood next to Liu Hua and said with some hesitation.
"If you have something to say, let it go." Liu Hua said.
The man in the Confucian shirt smiled and said, "My lord, the Nan family has been destroyed!" β
"If you destroy the door, you will destroy the door, what do you care about us?" Liu Hua said indifferently.
He was born in a wealthy family in Kyoto, and he didn't look down on a wealthy family like the Nan family at all.
Although he had dealt with a lot of people from the Nan family before, he never felt that he was the same kind of person as the Nan family.
So he didn't care at all about the destruction of the Nan family.
"My lord, the industry of the Nan family!" The man in the shirt whispered.
Liu Hua stood up suddenly, looking at the man in the Confucian shirt with surprise and joy.
"No one took those properties?"
"All the floating wealth of the Nan family has been taken away, but the real estate, real estate, and minerals are all there!" The man in the Confucian shirt said.
Liu Hua suddenly became excited.
Ah.
The disaster in Fushan City not only gave him the opportunity to make contributions, but also gave him the opportunity to make a fortune.
The Nan family's industry, not to mention anything else, those real estate properties alone are enough to make a windfall.
Suddenly, he looked straight and asked, "What about the other families?" β
The man in the Confucian shirt was slightly stunned.
Other families!
"The other families have not been wiped out!"
"Idiot, Lao Tzu came to rescue them with his soldiers, how could they not give Lao Tzu some benefits."
Liu Hua's eyes flashed with greed.
He didn't expect to make money before, but the man in the Confucian shirt reminded him that the Nan family's industry could be taken over, and the other wealthy families in Fushan City would also have to contribute a little.
There are more than a dozen wealthy families of all sizes in Fushan City, and each family takes out 108,000 taels of silver, which is also millions.
"I went and invited those guys over, and said that Lord Ben would discuss with them about the defense of Fukuyama Castle." Liu Hua had a sinister smile on his face.
This is a great opportunity to make money!
To protect Fukuyama Castle, the army is indispensable, and if you want to send the army, you need food and grass.
Without food and grass, how can we work hungry?
The rich landlords of Fushan City have to come up with 1.8 million taels of silver, otherwise General Ben will let them know what a rebellion is.
Thinking of the white silver, Liu Hua couldn't help laughing.
As a child of a wealthy family, Liu Hua is not short of money, and as the commander of the army, Liu Hua is not short of money, but no one will dislike money.
Liu Hua is also a person with ideals, and he also wants to make his cultivation higher and his official position higher.
Upgrading cultivation consumes resources, and the pills used in those innate realms are very precious, one will cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions of taels of silver, even if he is backed by a wealthy family, it is impossible for the family to give him a large amount of pills.
And to promote the official position, it will cost more money.
Positions in the military are much more expensive than those in local government offices, and they are very sought-after.
A prefect only needs 100,000 taels of silver, but a position in the capital costs a million taels.
Liu Hua didn't spend money to serve as the commander of the Shenwu Army, it was given to him by the Liu family, but if he wanted to be promoted one step further, he had to rely on himself.
He had never thought of taking another step forward before, because it was impossible for the Liu family to support him vigorously in a short period of time, but this time he came to Fushan City, he had both military exploits and a lot of money, and he could get a promotion on his own.
If he can become the commander of the Shenwu Army, then he will be one of the top figures in the entire Luofu Dynasty, and the family will look up to him at that time.
However, if you want to go further, you still need the support of the wealthy families in Fukuyama Castle.
Thinking of this, he began to plan how to make the wealthy families of Fushan City obediently take out the silver.
