Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Shi Ai immediately understood what Song Jun and the others were going to do.

The reason why Shi Ai was not allowed to enter the city was specially ordered by Li Zhao.

Li Zhao felt that although he was better at fighting, he was not good at everything. There are some things that need to be done by ruthless people.

Shi Ai camped outside the city, sent people to Chengdu to win, and asked Li Zhao for his life, hoping to send troops to attack Xiangyang.

After Song Jun and the others entered the city, they saw the panicked heroes and said with a smile: "You don't need to panic, you just need to talk about your heart, and you will be safe."

Seeing Song Jun and his pleasant face, the Haoqiang immediately relieved their hearts and donated a lot of money and food to the Zhaowu Army.

In the evening, after the city gates were closed.

The door of the Meng family's mansion was suddenly slammed open, and nearly 100 heavily armed soldiers of the Zhaowu Army broke into the mansion with knives. If you don't say a word, you will kill anyone you see.

Meng Kaifan, the head of the family, was reading a book in the study when he heard the screams outside and was shocked. After coming out, he saw his eldest son Meng Yixuan lying on the ground, spitting blood in his mouth. There were also several soldiers standing beside him.

Meng Kaifan was furious, "My Meng family has already donated money and food, why do you want to do such a violent act."

A junior officer of the Zhaowu Army said, "We are just acting on orders, please don't mind the head of the family." "

Take me to see General Song, I want to know, what is he going to do?" Meng Kaifan said angrily.

The officer's eyes were strange, and then he sneered, "The head of the family is crazy

, do you think you are still alive?" Looking at the killing intent in the other party's eyes, an inexplicable chill welled up in his heart, Meng Kaifan said in a trembling voice: "What do you want to do?"

"I just said, I just acted on orders.

"No matter what King Qin wants, my Meng family can give it.

"It's too late! Remember that in the next life, don't be an enemy of the Zhaowu Army again."

Meng Kaifan wanted to speak again, but there was no chance, and a long knife cut his neck.

Soon, the Meng family was full of people, no matter the old, weak, women and children, none of them survived.

At the same time, the gate of Yan's house was also smashed open, and hundreds of soldiers swarmed in to start a new killing.

Yan Mingzhi, the head of the family, was dining with his family, and the people in the house stumbled in and said in horror: "Master, there are officers and soldiers outside, and they are killing people everywhere.

Yan Mingzhi felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly urged his family to leave through the back door.

Before he could act, an officer broke in with a dozen soldiers.

"What are you going to do?" Yan Mingzhi asked.

"Ordered to raid the house, that's all. The officer said.

Yan Mingzhi's face was pale, and he begged bitterly, "Can you spare the young son in the family, I am willing to give all the money and food of the Yan family." "

Huh........ , when you colluded with the Xiangyang Army, causing thousands of deaths and injuries to our soldiers, did you ever think that there would be today

?" Seeing that the other party did not agree, Yan Mingzhi's eyes were bloody, and he said angrily: "King Qin wants my family to donate seventy percent of the money and grain, which my Yan family has accumulated for generations, why should I give it to him?"

Without waiting for an answer, the long knife had been inserted into Yan Mingzhi's body. The heirs of the Yan family in the house soon lost their lives.

Gangneung Yan has since been removed.

However, this bloody revenge has only just begun.

The Gangneung Wang, Liu, and Li clans, some of which have a history of hundreds of years, have completely disappeared from Jiangling City from now on.

Some people are extremely remorseful before they die, but unfortunately, Li Zhao will not give them a chance to make amends.

Countless human heads were thrown into the Yangtze River, down the river, and some even floated to Jinling.

In addition to Gangneung, the heroes of Jin City were also quickly killed.

As for the Haoqiang in other places, they did not kill again, but they were only allowed to keep 20% of the family's money, grain, and land.

Li Zhao raised the butcher's knife this time, although his reputation was completely ruined, but the amount of money and food obtained was so large that even if the Zhaowu army expanded by another 100,000 troops, it would be able to afford it.

And the soldiers and the people have land, and they are more supportive of Li Zhao.

It's not good to blindly raise a stick, always give them a sweet date.

Considering that the Haoqiang were quite resentful this time, in order to appease them, Fan Shuo suggested that the scale of the imperial examination be expanded, and both the children of Haoqiang and civilians could participate.

Fan Shuo's meaning is very simple, to include some capable Haoqiang children into the Qin State system. There are indeed many talents in wealthy families, such as Shen Ning, who was also born in a wealthy family.

Although Li Zhao was unhappy, he also knew in his heart that he would never be able to kill them all.

Even if Gangneung City is without Haoqiang, many years later, new Haoqiang will emerge in the city.

This massacre was strong, and few people within the Qin State opposed it.

The reason is very realistic, only by first eliminating the old forces can the new forces replace them and become the new powerful and powerful.

Today, it is a traditional feudal society after all. There are some things, even if it is Li Zhao, it is impossible to change them at all.

Li Zhao never planned to learn from other time-travelers and engage in any social changes, he just wanted to be honest and be a traditional feudal ruler.

.................................................................................................................

The Zhaowu army's wanton killing of Haoqiang soon spread to Jinling.

Looking at the heads on the river, it makes people tremble.

The ministers of Qi were even more disgusted with Li Zhao, and some scholars even wrote poems to curse Li Zhao.

The powerful families in Gusu, Yuhang and other places are even more angry. Through the relationship between the DPRK and China, he frequently put pressure on Emperor Jiang Yan of Qi, hoping to start a war with the Zhaowu army as soon as possible.

Emperor Jiang Yan of Qi publicly condemned Li Zhao, calling his actions cruel and inhumane.

Actually, Jiang Yan didn't think so, he really felt that Li Zhao did a good job, and he wanted to do it too.

After Jiang Yan ascended the throne, he soon found that the treatment of the soldiers of the Zhaowu Army was significantly stronger than that of the soldiers of the Qi State.

This also directly affected the combat performance of the soldiers on both sides on the battlefield.

With the delay in eliminating the Zhaowu army, each time the soldiers went on an expedition, it took more and more time to raise food and wages.

Due to the emptiness of the treasury, Zhou Zhaopeng, the former secretary of the household department, also went to Yuhang and other cities many times to contact the local heroes and raise military salaries for the army.

It stands to reason that since the heroes hate Li Zhao so much, they will support the imperial court even more and take the initiative to sacrifice a lot of money and food to exterminate the Zhaowu army.

However, this is not the case.

The truth is that everyone understands it.

But it is still extremely difficult to get them to contribute, and every time they find a reason to excuse themselves, unless the court meets their political needs.

In the 100 years since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the interests of the powerful and powerful people in various places and the important ministers in the DPRK and China have long been highly consistent. To wipe it out is tantamount to an earthquake.

Given the current situation, Jiang Yan is even less likely to attack them.

According to the report of the front secret agent, the Zhaowu army may move troops against Xiangyang.

Jiang Yan is different from Jiang Ningxian, he does not have any illusions, and concludes that the Zhaowu army will definitely kill him next year.

Before that, the threat from Huainan to Jinling must be completely eliminated.
