Chapter 444: Rapid Expansion (I)
The ladies of the martial arts family who were demoted to maids immediately responded respectfully, and then began to get busy, and Shen Fei was very keenly aware that the original anxious expressions of those ladies disappeared, and instead changed to a look of resignation.
Tilting his head and thinking for a while, Shen Fei knew that what he said just now was equivalent to pardoning them, and they naturally began to behave when their lives were guaranteed, looking forward to being treated better. For this, Shen Fei didn't have time to pay attention to it at all, and after a while, the castle tower was cleaned by these maids, and the hot water for freshening up was also sent over, and after waiting for everyone to freshen up separately, and then served hot soup and hot rice, after filling his stomach, Shen Fei held a meeting of all the retainers in the hall of the castle tower, which was only more than 100 square meters.
Looking at these subordinates who were kneeling neatly in front of him, Shen Fei nodded and asked Yoshida, "Yoshida, what is your real name, and what is your full name now?"
"Lord, his subordinate's real name is Ed, and now his full name is Yamashita Yoshida, who is a genealogy retainer of the Zuoshan family, in fact, it is a genealogy retainer, and it is not enough that the ancestors of this body are the servants of the Zuoshan family, and later he was promoted to a retainer for meritorious service, but for all generations, there is only Yulu and no knowledge, and he is regarded as the lowest samurai of the Zuoshan family. Yoshida hurriedly said.
"Well, since Yoshida, since you are a genealogical retainer of the Zuoshan family, then you must know the situation of the Zuoshan family and the vicinity, whether it is the military and civil power or the situation of the fields, tell me. Shen Fei nodded and said.
"Yes, the lord, the Zuoshan family is a local tyrant family under Wenfeng County of the Gushan Kingdom, and it has been in control of Zuoshan Village for seventy or eighty years, but three times in the seventy or eighty years it has been forced by other local tyrants in the village to retreat from the position of the land, and it has only been re-established in the last ten years, but because it is impossible to eliminate other local tyrants, it is forced to jointly control Zuoshan Village with other local tyrants, that is, the other five samurai families of the Zuoshan family. The land area of Zuoshan Village is about 9 square kilometers, the surface height is 1,320 stones, and the actual height is 2,563 stones. If the lord is willing to exert his efforts to open up the wasteland, it is enough to make Zuoshan Village look like a stone height of 3,000 stones. Yamashita Yoshida said fifteen-ten.
Shen Fei pouted, if he had that time to farm, he might as well grab a few more pieces of land, complete the task as soon as possible and return to the Netherworld Realm as soon as possible, Shen Fei's emotions naturally fell clearly on the hearts of these subordinates, and everyone else looked like they were deeply impressed, only the kitten Kuji said loudly: "General, I don't know what route you took to complete the task?"
"Naturally, it occupies thirteen main cities. Shen Fei said without thinking about it, as for the choice of the task that occupied all the land in the entire world, he didn't say it, because Shen Fei didn't know if such a hidden task as Lu Dao was in line with the rules. After all, the last time he casually said a word of Daqin, it made Ku Ji see through the fact that he was reborn with his memory, which made Shen Fei extremely taboo.
"The general is wise, although destroying the thirteen main cities can also allow you to complete the task, from the front, directly destroying the thirteen main cities can allow you to complete the task quickly, but after completing the task, it is a little more than worth the loss. Kitten Kuki said with a wink.
"Oh, what's the difference?" Shen Fei only chose to occupy the thirteen main cities because he chose to take the royal road, but he didn't expect that there was still something particular about it, so he naturally asked curiously.
"Oh, General, that's a big difference. You also know that the lives that you and your men kill in this world now, the souls will be thrown into the Netherworld and transformed into your new subordinates, if you choose to destroy the thirteen main cities or wipe out half of the lifeforms. Your harvest is the souls harvested by you and your subordinates during the completion of the mission, and your choice means that once you complete the task, all souls that die in the future of this world will be counted in your name. In other words, you can provide you with a steady stream of subordinates!" said Kitten Kuji excitedly.
"I see!" Shen Fei suddenly realized, no wonder the difficulty of several mission conditions was disproportionate, after occupying this world. In the future, the souls that die in this world will be regarded as under their own names, and they don't need to pull strong men everywhere, and they will automatically pop up in an endless stream of novices, and it is no wonder that those divisions and regiments will be overnumbered and overnumbered, and whoever completes a few such conquest tasks will naturally be overnumbered!
"Hehe, there are such benefits to occupying the thirteen main cities, so if I occupy the land of the entire World Realm, wouldn't that be even more beneficial?" Shen Fei secretly rejoiced in his heart, and strengthened his determination to complete the hidden mission.
As soon as he had this thought, Shen Fei immediately asked, "What's the matter with that Shanyan family, who actually sent dozens of warriors to sneak attack?"
Yamashita Yoshida smiled: " Lord, the Shanyan family is the controller of the two nearby villages, he can't have dozens of samurai, the samurai who came to invade this time, at least two-thirds of them are temporarily recruited ronins, the height of the Shanyan family is more than 3,500 stones, but the land is not as fertile as Zuoshan Village, and there are not so many people, so the two local tyrants can fight equally, but I didn't expect that this time the Shanyan family was willing to spend a lot of money to recruit so many ronins to sneak attack, but I didn't expect that the risky behavior of throwing a bet failed when it was about to succeed。 Speaking of this, Yamashita Yoshida was full of emotion.
Yamashita Yoshida suddenly remembered something, and excitedly suggested: "By the way, the lord, there are 221 households in the territory of the Zuoshan family, and there are 175 in the territory of the Shanyan family, and there are only three samurai in the Shanyan family, and the subordinates just now took a look at it, and they have died under the hands of the lord, we can cut off the heads of these three samurai and go to the Shanyan family to force + persecution, even if they are unwilling to surrender, they can directly capture the Shanyan family, after all, the dozens of peasant soldiers of the Shanyan family can't stop us!"
Shen Fei was very satisfied with Yamashita Yoshida's suggestion, it was worthy of being a local soul condensed Yin Demon, it was different from the original Yin Demon, but do I need to surrender? What I am pursuing is to directly control this world! When Shen Fei, who was full of passion, was about to refuse the proposal to recruit the Shanyan family, he suddenly thought that this was an opportunity, after the Shanyan family surrendered, it would definitely be impossible for him to deprive the Shanyan family of all his knowledge and deeds, and he must keep a little, and this little bit can be seen whether he will cause harm to the completion of his task by distributing the land to his subordinates. So Shen Fei immediately nodded: "Very good! Cut off their heads immediately, and then act immediately!"
"Command!" the Yin demons immediately knelt down and shouted, and as for the fact that it was the middle of the night, it didn't take it to their hearts at all. For them, the most important thing is to complete the tasks assigned by the commander.
The Yin demons acted quickly and accurately, cutting off the heads of dozens of intruders very quickly, tying them around their waists, making torches and other night walking and combat materials, and just rumbling out of this cottage. The ladies of the original Zuoshan family, each obediently knelt on both sides of the cottage gate, and when Shen Fei and they were far away, they hurriedly closed the door, and then returned home and began to restrain the dead men. It was only then that they began to weep.
They definitely didn't want to rebel, now they have accepted their fate, but they are grateful to Shen Fei, the new master, for not cutting off the head of their man, so that his man can die with a whole corpse, and it can be concluded that when Shen Fei comes back, they will kneel at the gate again, of course. If it was someone from the Yamayan family, they would be the same. This is the rule of troubled times, as long as you want to live, then you have to abide by such rules.
Shen Fei's group of more than 50 people. Holding the torch in a straight line towards the Shanyan City of the Shanyan family a few miles away, it was just because the speed of Shen Fei and the others was too fast, it was like a ghost, and some farmers who got up at night and urinated at night were directly paralyzed to the ground by fright. And those beast dogs were also shocked by Shen Fei's terrifying aura of killing countless souls, so they all clamped their tails and hid far away, so Shen Fei was a person. All the way is like entering a no-man's land, and no one dares to stop them.
And on the way to this expedition, Shen Fei also learned the knowledge of this world from the mouth of Yoshida under the mountain, and sure enough, as he guessed, this world is very similar to the world world he entered for the first time, but there are also differences, that is, there is a thousand-year-old royal family in this world, although it has lost power for hundreds of years, but the royal bloodline has been inherited, from this thought of the Great Qin royal family who has cut off the bloodline, Shen Fei couldn't help but sigh, if the bloodline of the Great Qin royal family is strong, it will not be a problem to achieve a thousand-year royal family。 After all, the Great Qin royal family, like the royal family here, does not care about power, and has a good impression in the hearts of the people.
Similarly, Shen Fei also knew the general rules of this world, that is, the rules that everyone implemented in this way are not surprising, first of all, one agricultural tax, four public and one people, the agricultural tax recognized by all lords can only increase the income of the public, not the income of the people, whoever dares to do this, it is to damage the interests of all lords, and they must be attacked in groups! It is said that a hundred years ago, there was a daimyo who was about to establish a new shogunate, and because he wanted to win the hearts of the people, he raised the income of the peasants, but as a result, he was directly attacked by the lords of the whole country, and the name of the family disappeared.
There is also a rule that all samurai default to, as long as there is no rebellion, the lord cannot deprive the retainer of the family name, can exile or execute the retainer who committed the crime, can reduce the knowledge of the retainer, can change the title, can let the son of the head of the family inherit the family name, whatever you do, but as long as there is no rebellion, you cannot deprive the family name. And as long as the family name exists, it is a samurai, that is to say, there are at least 100 stones of knowledge and deeds handed down, with this capital and identity, there will always be a day to turn over.
At the same time, Shen Fei also learned that the military dispatch system here is generally 100 stone Zhixing to send 5 troops, although one stone high refers to the food required by a strong man for a year, but the five people who send troops with 100 stone high include the cost of food, ordnance, bounty, pension and other materials that the lord who sends troops needs to be responsible for.
Because of these reasons, there are only a handful of countless battles in the past few hundred years, and there are only a handful of battles that have been damaged by more than one percent, and the only few battles in which the battle damage is more than one percent are also because the hostile sides are feuding from top to bottom, so in the battle, the army's battle losses are pitiful, but the farmers near the battlefield are unlucky, and they will definitely be looted by the army.
