Chapter 1502 Qin Family (8)
In fact, Zhao Hu is not lucky. According to the Southeast Peninsula, the Shigao Shizhen retainers' feudal system that has been circulated for many years, as well as the backward infrastructure such as road communications, and the two major countries have been constantly interfering and provoking and discord, all city lords on the Southeast Peninsula dare to listen to the tune and not to the publicity.
Under such a background, no matter how powerful he is, he is a super prince, and his subordinates are all city lords with their own intentions and selfish intentions, and they will still watch Zhao Hu gain a foothold in the Southeast Peninsula.
Now the forces around the Qin family, which is collectively known as the Southeast Peninsula, are extremely frightened and alert.
At first, I thought the Qin family was great because of a group of cavalry robbing everywhere. In addition to feeling sorry for the losses, I was not particularly worried about the expansion of the Qin family. After all, no matter how good or expensive the cavalry was, the only ones who could attack and defend the city were infantry. As long as I stepped up the chain to prepare soldiers, the Qin family was amazing and just robbed things.
But who would have thought that the Qin family's infantry was so powerful that they beat the rich people to pieces in just one encounter. Moreover, the Qin family's warriors were too fierce and cruel. They even did not let go of the village heads with only a few servants in the countryside, and wiped out the powerful people wherever they passed without accepting the surrender of others!
The most overwhelming thing is that it would be fine if the Qin family had obtained local lordship, but they even confiscated all the property of the warrior family and demoted them to civilians, including many warrior families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. This is really too much!
They have violated the rules of the game and cannot bear it anymore! Otherwise, people like me will also be treated like this! As the news of the rapid expansion of the Qin family spread, messengers from surrounding forces also began to communicate frequently, and undercurrents began to surge.
When everyone thought that the Qin family would take advantage of the victory and continue to launch an expansion war, the Qin family's actions were beyond the expectations of the world, especially the surrounding forces, and their eyes widened.
The direct messengers of the Qin family rode fast horses and rushed to the five occupied areas. As these cavalry were dispatched, carriages carrying various materials also rushed to all sides.
After receiving the order, the retainers who were about to return to Mingyue City to receive the reward, they transformed themselves into military and political chiefs who were targeting the strategy, that is, whoever conquered them would govern them.
This was something that should be happy about, but the Qin family's retainers were not happy.
Because this is not a formal appointment, it is just a temporary official. But if you don’t do it, you can’t help it. You have to return to Mingyue City to get rewards for your military achievements. You cannot return to Mingyue City without completing the task.
The retainers who had no choice but to take their retainers to start working together with the people.
Mode, a general who had not died, made a lot of money, was stunned. He was greedy and had built dozens of copycat manors. He distributed hundreds of his sects to only four or five people a place. Can these people manage good things? He was anxious and had to select retainers from the private soldiers and wealthy families he was holding.
The surrounding forces, who were originally going to work hard to fight, were startled when they saw the movement. While shouting and scolding themselves, they immediately disbanded the standing army that had just doubled. The retainers under their command also took their subordinates and spread them in chaos.
Almost in an instant, all battles were completely stopped in the entire Southeast Peninsula, and even few bandit incidents occurred. Not only the Southeast Peninsula, but also the coastal areas of the August Empire, the people who were suffering from the constant warlords' attacks on each other and finally got a chance to breathe.
Everyone in this large area of the same climate is busy with one thing, that is, farming.
Food is very important at all times, especially the farmland yield on the Southeast Peninsula is extremely low, and the high stone is regarded as a symbol of strength. When encountering busy farming seasons, all wars will stop, and even the bandits who robbed for a living will retract their capital and work hard on the secretly reclaimed one acre of three-point land.
Maybe he would take this good opportunity to send a standing army that does not require busy farming to attack the enemy. It would definitely be easy to capture, and even if he could not win, it would ruin the opponent's busy farming and leave him without any harvest.
There was indeed such a guy in the Southeast Peninsula doing this in history, but he encountered a war in the entire area of man and sea. Once the standing army entered the enemy's territory, the enemy's warriors and all civilians on the border, both men, women, young and old, and weak, intercepted them completely for fear of their lives.
Although the crazy crowd paid a huge price, they quickly swallowed all these standing troops.
After the news came out, the people who sent troops believed that His Highness launched a war in the sacred season of farming and was disrespectful to the God of the Governor.
That's right, but the deeper level is that we are afraid that the enemy will retaliate in turn, which will make us hungry when we don't get the harvest. Therefore, including His Highness's retainer, the whole country will rebel, and the family will disappear in an instant.
Therefore, it is not possible to initiate wars during the busy farming period and never show weakness to the enemy. These are two taboos that cannot be violated on the Southeast Peninsula. So now there is absolutely no idiot who will risk offending all retainers and people and force the war during the busy farming period.
Zhao Hu, who knew this, would certainly not risk his bad intentions to continue to start a war. Even if there was no such taboo, Zhao Hu would not continue to fight.
Although the five pieces of land occupied have eliminated all the hidden dangers in front of them, they still have to completely digest the territory and transform it into local strength so that they can become stronger and stronger as they fight.
This common sense can be understood by those who have a little sensible, let alone Zhao Hu.
In addition to ordering the retainers to stay in the occupied land, Zhao Hu also sent people to select a group of old, weak and disabled soldiers from the entire army, that is, low-level retainers, to confirm their merits in advance, and then led the reward certificate, left the army and went to the village level to serve as the village head.
These low-level warriors also knew their situation and abilities, and knew very well that they would never be able to achieve any merits after staying in the army. Now they have obtained the real leadership of merits and have served as the village head. They were all very satisfied with this, and they all burst into tears. After receiving the order with gratitude and respectfully, they entered their job happily.
When the busy farming season ended, these villages were integrated into the villages. Zhao Hu not only eliminated a group of weak soldiers, but also firmly controlled the occupation ground. Although there was no management candidate at the city above the occupied land, all the grassroots villages were controlled, and there was still fear that it could jump around and where would it go?
Of course, Zhao Hu also had another unexpected gain, that is, the morale of the army is stronger.
Because of the custom of the Southeast Peninsula, soldiers or low-level warriors are disabled, and they just give him a pension of a few cents of money to go home and eat him.
Now the Qin family has transferred these military soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness to serve as village heads. Although they have not many stone heights, they are enough to support the family. In addition, future generations can directly join the Qin family's army. How can we not make the morale of the army stable in this way?
Other retainers who did not receive early rewards immediately rushed back to Mingyue City after the busy farming season. However, in the army, officers at the level of the generals and below had to stay in the local main city dejectedly and send one or two retainers back to help collect the reward documents.
This is true for all combat soldiers, and there is no need for auxiliary soldiers.
These lower-class warriors are the most unlucky. The officers can train them to vent their anger. Who should they use to vent their anger? They have to exhaust themselves and lie down and sleep, so as not to be punished if they are random.
The Military and Political Conference was held again. Only people at the level of generals or above are qualified to participate in this meeting. After the low-level retainers who were eager to return collectively went to the newly formed military affairs department, waiting for Shangguan to confirm his merits and receive rewards.
Those low-level retainers really don’t think it’s true, they are not receiving rewards in front of their lords.
But looking at the colleagues who surrounded the Military Affairs Department, and the colleagues and servants who accompanied each other to receive documents on behalf of the lord, were full of colleagues and retainers, and fantasized about the situation where they were crowded with people in the halls of the Heavenly Guard Pavilion and took turns to accept the rewards, they would be really sweating.
If all the retainers were disbanded after the enthronement, they might be able to go home and have just been born before the meeting to go out to make a fuss.
Several military officials who did this job for the first time jumped and jumped loudly, but unfortunately, countless people's messy inquiries made them feel hoarse, and they couldn't understand what they meant.
Everyone was sweating profusely and didn't know what to do. A sound of horse hooves and muffled drums came from behind. Everyone looked back and immediately shut their mouths. The beauty they could never afford to offend was coming.
Zhou Wen, who was riding on a tall horse and accompanied by hundreds of strong inner guards behind him, looked even more slender and thin, looked at everyone with anger.
Although he looks cute and coquettish, who dares to look up with a hint of eyes? It is the retainers of those who don’t know the details on the side who secretly swallow their saliva and sneak a glance.
However, they did not dare to be too blatant. Although most newcomers did not know the background of this beauty, they would seek death only when they saw their lord being as obedient as a cat.
Zhou Wen shook the whip and shouted angrily: "What's the mess? You've heard your voice in the conference hall!
