Shen Fei braved the snow to attack the mining village and got the biggest result, there were so many young people and so many weapons in the entire mining village, but they didn't bring much damage to Black Lotus Ashigaru. And after killing the bloody guys, the five or six thousand people in the entire mining village were driven out of their homes like quails by the wolf-like Black Lotus Ashigaru.

Shen Fei was also taken aback by the dense crowd of human heads, this small mining village actually has such a large population? This is because most of the miners have no families, if everyone has families, this number will have to be doubled!

In other words, the population of a village is equal to one-fifth of the population of Luanshan Township! Shen Fei and his retainers couldn't help but be glad that they had backed down when they attacked the mining village for the first time, otherwise they would have been directly annihilated by their own people at that time!

Fortunately, this time it was a sneak attack in the snow, and the other party entered the village without the slightest preparation, and directly blocked these strong men in the house. Otherwise, let the other party summon it, although it will definitely win, but I am afraid it will also be a residual victory, and at that time, these miners who have been killed will definitely be very difficult to discipline, and they will either flee or rebel.

Although a few hot-blooded guys have been killed now, it is too small compared to the total number of people, so there is no need to worry about excessive damage, so that these miners have opinions in their hearts, and the management is believed to be much easier.

Shen Fei naturally knew this, and assured these miners and blacksmiths that they would continue to enjoy the previous treatment, and also rewarded them lavishly. The mining village, which is not short of money, purchased a large number of materials in advance in order to survive the winter, and originally waited for the long winter and slowly distributed these materials, but all of them fell into Shen Fei's hands, and Shen Fei would naturally take out a little to buy people's hearts.

Sure enough, the people of this world are so easy to manage, and when Shen Fei stated that he would not kill innocents indiscriminately, and indicated that they would live by mining and smelting iron tomorrow as before, most of the people had no opinion. And a group. As long as most people have no opinions, then there will be no problems with this group, and as for their acceptance of Shen Fei as their new master, it is really understandable.

First of all, because of Maeda Satsushiro's strange identity, they can't shout that Lao Tzu is a person from the Fengyuan family like Shen Fei, and they can only hang the identity of the leader of an autonomous village, and this identity is actually no different from the thieves group for the people of this world, and it can't even be compared with the officially recognized local tyrants.

And most importantly, this place is the territory of the Fengyuan family. The last time Shen Fei led the troops to coerce, and Maeda Sakatsushiro doubled the tribute, these miners and blacksmiths already knew that the place where they were had changed lords, and they had a psychological preparation.

After that, Shen Fei rose rapidly, and suddenly occupied the entire Luanshan Township, and suddenly became the head of Wanshi Township, and naturally it also spread to the ears of everyone in the mining village with the mouth of the merchant. This kind of thing completely raised Shen Fei's identity to an incredible level.

You must know that Shen Fei was just a local tyrant before, and the people of the country couldn't call him anything. Not locals after all. But after he became Wanshi Zhixing, this is awesome, and he can already be called His Royal Highness by outsiders! Whether he is a good local or not, he is a great identity. The local people must show respect.

But that's not all, Shen Fei has directly unified the Wanshi name of the entire Luanshan Township, and he can add the title of a township! Having this title and not having this title are completely different things, the township, the county guard, and the lord of the country. All three of these titles were reserved for the daimyo who unified the entire region.

And the strength brought by a unified region is definitely not something that other daimyo can compete with! When Shen Fei's identity as the head of Wanshi Township came out, the people in the mining village already had a completely different impression of Shen Fei.

If Shen Fei suppressed the mining village before, although everyone recognized Shen Fei's ruling power as a new lord, they were not happy, after all, they knew how strong their mining village was, but they couldn't understand that a few leaders didn't expand externally for Mao, but just concentrated on mining and smelting to build weapons to make money.

And when Shen Fei became the head of Wanshi Township, all the miners and blacksmiths privately admired Shen Fei, after all, there were few people in history who could leap from a hundred stone warriors to Wanshi Township in such a short period of time.

At the same time, they had a vague hint of pride, especially when chatting with foreign businessmen, they couldn't help but praise the Fengyuan family when they mentioned it, because no matter what, their mining village nominally belonged to the jurisdiction of the Fengyuan family!

Therefore, with these premises, especially when Shen Fei had already invaded the village and killed several leaders, these miners and blacksmiths would accept Shen Fei's rule so quickly.

Of course, although he noticed that these guys were very obedient, Shen Fei did not indulge like this, but instead selected about a thousand miners from the more than 3,000 young miners to join the Black Lotus Ashigaru.

That's right, only by incorporating a part of their young and strong into the army, can the relationship between the whole leader be reflected, with these people as soldiers, everyone is from the same village, and there are relatives, and the rest of the people have to think clearly if they want to make trouble.

For the expansion of the army, the most joyful are the samurai who lead the troops, and naturally happily incorporate the selected young men into the troops, and the logistics staff, who was originally the most distressed, also grinned this time.

There is no way, after the mining village is destroyed, the seizure is too rich, if it is not for the inventory of materials, there is no way to believe that the mining village is so rich.

First of all, there are more than 50,000 yuan of money! This is because only the family property and village property of the few leaders who were killed by his own people were confiscated, and if the entire village is copied, I am afraid that it will definitely be more than 100,000 yuan!

More than 20,000 stone of grain! 100,000 catties of dried meat; 30,000 catties of dried radish; 1,000 stones of salt; 3,000 barrels of oil, all of which were 50 catties of grain; 5,000 pieces of fur, 3,000 pieces of cloth, and more than 300 carts! more than 20 carriages! more than 1,000 horses! more than 300 cattle! There are even more miscellaneous items, and there are tens of thousands of candles, so you can know how many other miscellaneous items there are.

When the inventory was counted, the eyes of the commissioners immediately burst out, is this the stock that a village should have? Even Yamada Castle doesn't know if there are so many varieties of materials and such a huge inventory!

Similarly, there are more than 2,000 stones of pig iron and 3,000 catties of refined iron in the inventory! According to the inventory habits of the mining villages, this quantity should be less, and it is estimated that it was smelted before the arrival of winter, and the previous ones should have been sold.

But there was a great deal of joy for the samurai, and that was 3,000 fine spears, 1,000 fine katanas, 500 pieces of fine iron armor, 100 bows of one stone, and 1,000 bundles of arrows!

The equipment was properly arranged, without the slightest hint of departure, but it was placed at the very edge of the storehouse, apparently ready to arm the miners and blacksmiths at any time!

The samurai who came to their senses at this time were all in a cold sweat, if they were to follow what they thought, after the New Year, they would come to attack the mining village with a swagger, after all, they thought that the black lotus ashigaru of thousands of people was very awesome, wouldn't it be easy to hit this mining village?

If you really want to do this, you will definitely be beaten by these armed miners! That is, fortunately, the owner of his own house is bullish, and he will fight as he says, and before the New Year, he attacked in the snow and occupied the mining village at once, not only did he have no loss, but also captured such a rich harvest!

For these weapons, Shen Fei naturally immediately asked everyone under his command to change their clothes, the veterans, whether they were samurai or not, each had a katana, and then the samurai were all armor and equipment, and the recruits had to have a spear in their hands.

Then, Shen Fei left a batch of food and other supplies, two hundred veterans and matching warriors to garrison, and a government logistics officer responsible for managing the affairs of the mining village, while he led the Black Lotus Army, which had doubled in number, to drive the ox carts and carriages full of supplies, and rushed towards Linhe City in the wind and snow.
