Chapter 57: The Capture of the Mining Village (I)
Shen Fei sat down on the main seat accompanied by his attendants, and the samurai greeted each other, and then the logistics and administrative affairs department first reported their work, and then the samurai and ninjas who went to cultivate also began to report their cultivation.
Shen Fei was very satisfied with the situation under his hands, because the samurai sent to Fengyuan Shrine to study were all diligent people, and under the strange rules of the shrine, it was certain that they would learn power, but in the past few months, they had already mastered the strength of the transparent middle section, and that was the diligent cultivation of these warriors.
And the ninja side is also very good, the three ninjas not only used up the thousands of funds, improved their strength several times, but also seduced back nearly a hundred young and promising ninjas for Shen Fei. In order to better seduce ninjas, the three of them deliberately went to the three ninjas to learn ninjutsu, and even one-third of the funds were used to seduce ninjas!
For such a ninja who thinks about his family, Shen Fei naturally rewarded them lavishly, and directly rewarded the three of them, each with a hundred stones of knowledge, so that they were equal to the warriors of a hundred stones in terms of status and status!
For Shen Fei to reward the ninja so much, he also rewarded Zhixing and let the three ninjas and the samurai sit together, the samurai actually had no opinion at all, but those samurai who did not have a hundred stone knowledge looked at the three ninjas enviously. In this case, that is, Shen Fei, a newly rising martial artist, and his subordinates are all martial artists who have been promoted from low backgrounds to do this. If you were a samurai, the samurai would have rebelled a long time ago, and they wouldn't allow lowly ninjas to be in the same hall as them!
After all kinds of retributions were over, Shen Fei suddenly got up, and everyone immediately sat solemnly, all looking at Shen Fei nervously.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can't stand the fact that there are still forces in my territory that don't submit to me, so I decided to take advantage of the fact that the New Year is not yet over, and directly defeat the mining village!" Shen Fei said in a flat tone.
The samurai who experienced the last fruitless capture. Naturally, he knew what was going on, and he knelt down to receive his order without saying a word, and the other samurai may not know the situation, but he did what his lord said, so he naturally followed the kneeling and receiving the order.
"Okay, the logistics and government affairs will make preparations immediately, except for the ashigaru who stayed behind to guard the checkpoint and defend the city, the other ashigaru will be assembled immediately! All the powerful warriors with combat ability will go out with me! We will take down the mining village in one fell swoop!" Shen Fei said murderously, he didn't expect it. Although all the iron ore produced by the mining village was sent to Donghai County, this was not the result, because after these iron ores were transported to Donghai County, they were directly boarded on ships in the harbor, transferred to the commercial port, and then eaten by the blacksmith house, and the money was directly dispersed into the various shops, and there was no buying or selling. The money is gone!
Shen Fei naturally knew that this was because the ninja was not strong enough to probe the ability, but it was already very good for the ninja to be able to probe to the point, so Shen Fei felt too lazy to pay attention to who this guy hiding behind was, and directly took down the mining village. This product will definitely jump out, as for not jumping? That's up to him, anyway, in the future, whoever is inexplicably hostile to himself, then this product is the mastermind behind the mining village!
That's why Shen Fei decided to take advantage of this heavy snowfall. When all the people in the mining village gathered in the village for winter, and the entire mining village was settled, he didn't want the miners to lose anything. After all, without these miners, the income of the mining village will drop significantly. And except for this time, it is impossible to serve the miners in one pot at all, let alone reduce their own losses, so such a good time cannot be missed.
With Shen Fei's order, the ashigaru who was ready to go out immediately assembled in the city, because the snow was falling, and outsiders hardly noticed it, and when the city gate was opened, the neat troops, rumbling and jogging, rushed out directly across the river and rushed into the distance, and those merchants and spies who were still staying were stunned.
The secret agent on the side of the Yamada family looked indifferent, because Shen Fei's troops were crossing the river, so they would definitely not attack the Yamada family, while the secret agents of Donghai County panicked, and only Donghai County could attack when they crossed the river.
Although he cursed, he couldn't do it, so he had to rush back desperately to call the police, because the Fengyuan family sent troops at this time, and it could be said that almost everyone would be caught off guard! Whoever was the target of his attack would be unlucky.
Heavy snow not only sealed the roads, but also the forests. In the mining village, which makes a living by mining and smelting iron, at this time, everyone is huddled in the village. However, unlike other villages, when winter arrives, they are forced to worry about how to survive the winter, and the people in the mining village have a lot of money and all the materials are abundant, so they can calmly nest at home.
And after working all year round, there is finally a time to rest, so everyone is huddled at home to either frolic with women and children, or get together to drink and fart. Even the people who stand guard in rotation are also shrunk in the sentry box, roasting the fire, drinking wine to pass the time, such a ghost weather, there is no need to be vigilant at all, even the thieves will not come out to commit crimes at this time, let alone those forces send troops. Moreover, except for the new lord who came to the mining village more than half a year ago when the territory changed owners, who has led soldiers to the mining village for so many years!
In the center of the village, the real ruler of the village, that is, the middle-aged man who had met Shen Fei as an envoy, gathered here, and everyone gathered around the fire pond, drinking wine and eating stew, chatting at the same time.
"I didn't expect it! That Yamada family's hundred-stone samurai was able to occupy the entire mountain village in such a short period of time! It's really incredible!" the middle-aged man said with a sip of wine.
"My lord, should we increase the amount of tribute?" said a man who looked like a samurai, a little cringe.
"Well, it really should be promoted, 200 catties of refined iron is a generous tribute for a hundred stone warriors, but for a ten thousand stone township chief, it is an insult. During the Chinese New Year, I personally went to Linhe City to meet Lord Fengyuan, and automatically mentioned the tribute of 200 stone fine iron!" said the middle-aged man after a deep sigh.
"200 stone essence iron?!, my lord, this is too much, isn't it?!" the other samurai, including the samurai who mentioned yƬ, all shouted in surprise.
"What's more?! These two hundred stones of fine iron are just a fraction of them to us! As long as we can ensure that we are safe and secure here, this tribute is nothing to double again! You must know that relying on the Fengyuan family's arrogant behavior these days, we will definitely not be able to bear the face we gave him before! Therefore, we must go to see it during the Chinese New Year! Suppress the dissatisfaction of the Fengyuan family! Otherwise, once the snow melts, it will be the time for the Fengyuan family to send troops to us!" The middle-aged man said sternly. (To be continued......)
