Chapter 1009 Battle 3
Now your Shu Village has only two choices, one is to surrender directly to me. When my Zhao family’s direct subordinate village is to resist, I will completely wipe out Shu Village! I don’t believe that you will kill hundreds of young and strong men. Your Shu Village is still qualified to exist!"
As soon as Zhao Hu said this, not only did the head of the village tremble, but all the people in the tree village trembled, especially the hundreds of young and strong men tied to kneel on the ground, and they struggled in panic. After the soldiers punched and kicked them, they made them kneel on the ground again.
Seeing that the village head hesitated, Zhao Hu continued to shout: "Don't think about some messy things. Let me tell you, it turns out that like you, the fishing village that only needs to pay tribute has completely surrendered to me and became my direct subordinate village. The village head Yang Ming and his three leaders have become the retainers and warriors of my Zhao family!" &∞∞∞,□.⊙∧.p;
Resident Warrior?! Hearing this, the strong man with a few swords immediately emitted a scorching light, but the light was quickly suppressed, and everyone looked at the village head.
This village head may have the idea of becoming a rich man, but his subordinates make a living by logging wood. Because of their work, they are divided into several factions, and he is just one of the most powerful factions in the village.
At first, he had the intention of raiding Zhao Hu and regaining the young and strong, but when he got closer, he saw that Zhao Hu's soldiers were more elite than all the lord troops he had ever seen. This kind of strength comparison does not require fighting, but can be noticed just by looking at the mental outlook and the vague sixth sense.
After feeling it, he naturally realized that the dozens of young and strong men he brought out were probably not enough for the other party to rush. Moreover, after deducting the hundred trapped young men, the fewer young men in the village, and if these people were killed, the whole village would be over.
By then, the women and children will definitely be moved to other villages, and the Shu Village will no longer exist. Perhaps the Shu Village will be rebuilt due to logging in the future, but that has nothing to do with me.
People in this world are used to surrendering to the strong, and today they surrender to this one and tomorrow they only need to save their lives. That is also done without any obstacles and looks open and upright, saying that this is the way to protect oneself by the weak.
A guy who has never been a boss has no psychological pressure or psychological barriers to surrender, especially in terms of interests, and these leaders do not make much money.
After all, just like the alliance, even if they are the leaders, they still need to cut down trees themselves. They can only divide the number of cents from the people belonging to their own faction.
In the past, I wanted to be independent because I didn’t know Zhao Hu’s ability. I deliberately belittled them when I sent someone to promote the new owner in Linhe Palace, which gave them the illusion that they could be independent.
But now when he saw Zhao Hu's soldiers so elite, he instantly captured so many young and strong people, so he didn't have to think about anything.
So the village head just hesitated for a moment, and after apologizing for a while, he discussed it with several subordinates, and then came over and knelt on the ground to express his willingness to surrender to Zhao Hu and to become the direct subordinate village of the Zhao family.
When these guys kneeled down to Zhao Hu and surrendered, as Zhao Hu thought, there was a little forest in the planting space, and then Zhao Hu could learn that the extra gadgets could make him add one pound of wood every year.
Zhao Hu disagreed with this number and did not deal with it immediately. Instead, he exchanged greetings with Mu Liang, who had just become a samurai, that is, the leader of Shu Village. He had a while of greetings with his newcomer and went to the best houses in Shu Village to settle down for the time being, and the captured young and strong people were also liberated.
As for whether they are afraid of their betrayal? They took the opportunity to besiege them? People in this era are very simple. Since they surrendered in full view of the public, the people have already recognized the existence of Zhao Hu, the new lord, even if Mu Liang and the others want to rebel, the young and strong in the village will not follow him. Maybe they will arrest them and send them to Zhao Hu for rewards.
The reason for this is that in addition to the issue of people's determination to be stable, there is another thing that Mu Liang and others are actually an alliance of gang members. Without a loyal retainer group, the villagers are not their leaders. Instead, the identities of both sides are similar and they will not follow their brains at all.
On the contrary, Zhao Hu, who was determined to be the lord, would have rebelled against the Ling family if he raised the flag, the fishing village and the current Shu Village would follow Zhao Hu to make the Ling family's rebellion.
More importantly, the leaders have become samurai. The Five-Stone Warriors who are not even in the past have already started to fight openly and secretly, and they all want to curry favor with Zhao Hu. How could they even think of rebellion?
The soldiers under Zhao Hu's command obviously knew these things, and they all entered Shu Village carelessly and unpreparedly. They took over the protection of Shu Village.
When Zhao Hu saw these soldiers envy, jealousy and hatred for Mu Liang and others, he knew that they wanted to become samurai, but this time, there was no battle in conquering Chu Village. It was entirely based on intimidation. No one made the military achievements of becoming a samurai.
As for the credit for arresting several lumberjacks, no one was embarrassed to give it a lesson, so they could only watch the original enemies become warriors with some resentment, but they remained on the ground.
Zhao Hu naturally knew that this would not work, so he immediately summoned all the soldiers: "You performed very well in this battle! The team's purpose was better. Similarly, although this battle was not fierce, it was also a contribution.
In order to reward you for your hard work and follow orders, you will be rewarded with 14 teams with five-stone samurai. As for other warriors, you will be awarded with one-stone samurai. If you want to become ten-stone samurai and five-stone samurai, it depends on your performance in the next battle against the mine village!"
Finally, he became a warrior! The twelve small teams immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "I thank you for the rewards of the lord! I swear to be loyal to the Zhao family!"
Although those warriors were a little unhappy with the name of One Stone Warrior, even if they were rewarded less, they were still warriors? And I didn’t hear what my lord said, would you look at the next battle? As long as you conquer the mining village, the team will definitely become the Ten Stone Warriors directly. And those of you will definitely become the Five Stone Warriors!
So they naturally followed the team's eyes to Zhao Hu and shouted to show their loyalty. Only the two money and grains were a little stunned. When they heard Zhao Hu enthronement, they subconsciously calculated how many warrior suits they would need to be consumed.
How do you need to allocate land to be the most beneficial to the Zhao family? But after calculating, I was shocked to find that the lord said there were 14 small teams, but now there are only 12 small teams kneeling, and there are still two?
After reacting, they immediately rushed into the team like a ferocious dog. They were excited to kneel down and salute Zhao Hu.
In order to win people's hearts, Zhao Hu did not go to the mining village immediately. Instead, he ordered people to go to the fishing village to transport a batch of copper coins and rice, and at the same time, he also gathered all the young and strong people in the fishing village.
After spending most of the time, when the material and manpower arrived, Zhao Hu rewarded Shu Village again, regardless of gender, age, two copper coins and one liter of rice for each person. The villagers who received these rewards naturally shouted at Zhao's Duke and Hou Dai, and Zhao Hu nodded with satisfaction.
This reward that everyone has is not only a win over people's hearts, after all, this thing is only a little bit, which is only enough for everyone to save a few meals. If you replace a liter of rice with corn, you can eat it for a few days.
But this kind of action, especially after the people receive rewards and cheer, will give these people a subconscious psychological impression, that is, Zhao Hu is their lord and the Zhao family is the master of this land.
With this psychological impression, Zhao Hu will be justified in this land in the future, and the people will subconsciously obey and recognize it. In this way, it will be difficult to connect the upper and lower parts, and it will be difficult to make it difficult to make it smooth.
Zhao Hu was also very generous and cooked dozens of pots of transported corn, served with pickled radish and salted fish. A group of people ate and drank a lot. Then Zhao Hu began to count the young and strong people in Shumura.
It is worthy of being a tree village, and it is all material for lumberjacks. It actually counted nearly 200 young and strong men who could carry bamboo guns as peasants. In addition, there were nearly 300 young and strong men coming to the fishing village. Finally, Zhao Hu's sixty low-level warriors became a small army formation of more than 350 people.
Zhao Hu continued to form a group and asked the one-stone warriors to lead 4 peasant soldiers each. These one-stone warriors had been educated by Zhao Hu before and had undergone rigorous military training. How could they not deal with 4 peasant soldiers?
So within a short while, a twelve neat 20-person square formation appeared in front of everyone. As for the twelve 5-stone warriors? They were simpler and just continue to lead the four former subordinates.
As for the other extra peasant soldiers, that is, peasant soldiers with relatively weak constitutions, they were divided into several warriors from fishing villages and tree villages that were used. Of course, there were two other money and grain warriors who also led the troops, but they were logistics soldiers and continued to lead the number of strong women who had expanded a lot.
Seeing that the formation was complete, Zhao Hu waved his hand: "Target mining village!" He led the people out of the tree village first, and the others naturally followed Zhao Hu in neat steps under the scolding of the warrior.
As for whether there will be any problems when mobilizing the peasant soldiers when the autumn harvest is about to be held? Don’t forget who the peasant soldiers Zhao Hu was, either from the fishing village or from the tree village, they are all guys who can work all the time and will not be restricted by the autumn harvest season.
