Chapter 22 Raiding Liaodong
The emperor was very straightforward this time, thinking that he could drink this kind of fine wine every day, and he might bring back various magical medicines, so he gave Zhang Ming a lot of power this time.

Directly give Liaodong prefect a lot of power, so that Zhang Ming can properly find magic medicine for him and brew good wine.

This Liu Hong's calculation is really good.

Chen Yang was very happy, and a burst of joy went straight to the top of his head.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Hong asked again: "When will Zhang Ming deliver the fine wine?"

Liu Hong looked at the bottle of Wuliangye on the table wistfully, and he had already drank one-third of it.

"Your Majesty, it will take half a month for me to go back. It will take two months for my master to organize people to go out to the sea and carry the spring water back. It will take two months to start brewing wine, and then it will take five months in total."

With Chen Yang's calculation, Liu Hong immediately felt a little sad.

He wanted to drink, to drink this mellow and delicious wine, but unfortunately he couldn't drink this wine even if he wanted to drink it at this time.

"Your Majesty, but there are still some tea leaves. My Lord picked some overseas when he came back last time, but he couldn't make them in time. This time, they should have been made." Chen Yang said again.

Liu Hong nodded, feeling warm in his heart, Zhang Ming, who hadn't met, was really caring.

Chen Yang was waiting, and Zhang Rang had already gone to get him an imperial edict.

After the imperial decree was written, Emperor Liu Hong personally stamped the jade seal.

"You go back quickly and let Zhang Aiqing go to sea as soon as possible."

After Chen Yang took the imperial decree, he was naturally very excited, and it was done.

Zhang Ming went directly from a corporal leader to a prefect.

The governor of Liaodong, although located in a bitterly cold border, was also the governor of one side, and his start was different.

After receiving the imperial decree, according to the rules, eunuchs will follow them to Liaodong to deliver the decree.

"Our family, Zuo Feng, was ordered to go to Liaodong together to preach the decree."

Zuo Feng followed Chen Yang out of the palace, and he himself brought more than 20 guards and followers, otherwise how would he come back.

Zuo Feng went back with Chen Yang. This was the rule. They left Luoyang that day, and then rode towards Liaodong.

And Zhang Ming in Liaodong is looking for the family property everywhere.

Among them, Xu's family property has been found by him in several places.

On this day, Zhuzi hurried back from the mountain.

"Tell the instructor, we found a farm that belongs to the Xu family, instructor, how about we go and rob it?" Zhuzi asked.

"Yes." Zhang Ming nodded, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "Two more days of preparation, two days later, we will find another place and loot together."

Because the scope involved is quite large, Zhang Ming did not act in a hurry.

Zhang Ming intends to close the net at once.

Zhuzi went to arrange again, and Zhang Ming asked him to investigate carefully.

Two days later, Zhang Ming personally led 1000 people down the mountain, this time they were going to rob.

The place is outside a county town thirty miles away from Erlong Mountain.

Large farms should be built outside the city, with large tracts of land.

After Zhang Ming went down the mountain, he led people there.

They rode their horses down the mountain and galloped towards their destination.

Talking about people from the Xu family, since Li Tan failed, they dare not leave the city.

In this failure, the Xu family not only failed to get back the lost wealth, but also caused great losses to the defenders in the city.

Zhang Ming led a thousand cavalry, and he was still dressed as a bandit.

Kill that farm.

"Sorry~"

The cavalry team arrived outside the farm and found that it was quite dilapidated.

"Surround here."

Zhang Ming ordered to surround the farm.

At this time in the farm, there are still many people living here.

"The bandits are coming."

"Hide away."

"damn it."

The people were very frightened and ran around.

The army surrounded one and couldn't escape.

"Distinguish carefully, see if there are any members of the Xu family, surround the courtyard of the Xu family, and don't even think about running away."

After Zhang Ming surrounded them, he shouted.

Two hundred cavalrymen rushed in quickly and surrounded Xu's courtyard.

There are not many people in the entire farm, many have fled, and there are only more than 300 people left.

"Don't worry, the Xu family offended me, I will only arrest members of the Xu family."

"You, you must leave here immediately and go to other places to make a living. This place has been requisitioned by me."

Then Zhang Ming took out a lot of copper coins, and a commoner gave fifty copper coins.

"Bring the money and leave immediately, this place does not belong to you anymore."

Zhang Ming knew that these lands belonged to the Xu family, and half of the wheat in the fields had not been destroyed, and the wheat also belonged to the Xu family.

At this time, the winter wheat has not yet been harvested, and it will take a month to mature.

"Instructor, there are more than [-] people in the Xu family, one of them is in charge, and the rest are guards."

There are still people in the Xu family staying here, so naturally they are unwilling to give up here.

"Very good, kill the person in charge, put the others back, and tell the Xu family that this place has been requisitioned by Lao Tzu."

Zhang Ming doesn't like killing people very much, but now he has decided to kill people.

The person in charge was killed directly, while the others were put back.

"Search them all to see if there is anything valuable."

"Our 1000 people will camp here and bring our horses here. This place is suitable for cavalry training."

Zhang Ming still lacks a place for cavalry training. There are thousands of acres of fertile land and a piece of wasteland.

The courtyard of this Xu family is very large, and Xu Chao originally lived here.

Most of the belongings were transported to Xiangping City by him, and there were not many belongings here.

But land and yards are valuable things.

Zhang Ming occupied this place because he wanted to train soldiers here.

Keep half at Erlong Mountain and half here, it will be much more convenient for training.

On Erlong Mountain, only part of the army can be trained during training.

"Zhuzi, immediately take eight hundred cavalry and attack everywhere, and rob me of all the property of the aristocratic family that has been investigated."

"In addition, under the banner of our Erlong Mountain, as long as it is a family, we will rob all of them. Remember, try not to hurt ordinary people. From then on, they will be Lao Tzu's people."

Zhang Ming ordered, Zhu Zi took the order, and led [-] cavalry to attack.

All of a sudden, in the territory of Liaodong, just after being slaughtered by Wuhuan, they encountered the scourge of bandits again.

Suddenly, the whole Liaodong was shrouded in a cloud of terror.

However, many people soon found out that these bandits were robbing big households and looked down on ordinary people like them, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

The bandits killed those families, they didn't kill people and set fire to them, but they looted the property of the families, even those who had land, and directly took away the land deeds.

This made the big families very puzzled, but no matter how puzzled they were, they were unable to fight against these bandits. They did form a guard team, but they were scattered by the bandits' charge.

For several days in a row, the entire Liaodong was looted everywhere, and the major families, as well as the government, all retreated to the city.

As a result, the inside of the city was ruled by the government, but the outside of the city was ruled by bandits.

The entire Liaodong region is so big that many people from local government and aristocratic families who were not patronized by bandits also hid.
