Age of mythical princes

Chapter 30 'Benevolence'

Since the emergence of Dongning Island, Yancheng has been immersed in a sea of ​​joy.The grief brought about by the two major news of the death of the first doctor Yan and the extermination of the monarch was directly washed away, and there was nothing left.

The death of the first doctor Yan is certainly sad, and the monarch's order to exterminate Dao is also scary, but people in this era are used to seeing life and death.That's why there is the saying that heroes take life and death lightly. Many people can directly repay others with their lives for a meal, or they can try their best to repay others because of a compliment or approval from others.

Death is not the scariest thing.

When the news of Dongning Island came out, most of the people in Yancheng were very happy, because they saw hope for the first time, and saw the hope of living. Not being afraid of death does not mean not wanting to live.

When people's lives are full of hope, the overall production efficiency will naturally be greatly improved. A large number of veterans have returned to the barracks to start restorative training. It will not be long before this group of veterans can recover to their original peak in two months at most. Ninety percent combat power.

By that time, there will be [-] soldiers in iron armor.

Thinking of such a future, and looking at the sparsely populated 1000-odd soldiers on the school field in front of him, Sun Qing felt very uneasy. However, he also knew some tactics of war, how to strengthen the army?How to make soldiers stronger?Sun Qing's understanding is generous rewards plus land plus women!

"My lords, the lord has issued an order to exterminate Taoism. From now on, all Taoists in Chao Kingdom are rebels. Killing rebels is considered military merit."

"Lin Township next door is the fiefdom of a Taoist temple. The master of the temple is just a warlock who has comprehended the true meaning of the two elements of earth and water. There are only thirteen disciples under his command who are considered alchemists, and there are hundreds of apprentices."

"Lin Township has six villages and one town. The cultivated land alone has as much as [-] mu of land. Every thousand mu of land can build a manor. In this campaign, I will reward at least ten manors!"

War is always the best opportunity for people at the bottom to stand out!
As soon as Sun Qing finished speaking, he felt the breathing of many soldiers became short of breath.

Many Chinese people only have one manor.

The blood of the Qing clan and the doctor will gradually dilute with the passage of time, and the scholars and Chinese are no exception.Most Chinese people who have been hereditary for more than three generations can't even awaken their blood.But Chinese people are human beings, and they also have a sense of dignity, and doctors will not deprive Chinese people of their fiefs for no reason.

But the doctor's territory is not unlimited, so the more ancient the noble, the less land that can be confiscated.Now, Sun Qing offered rewards for ten manors in one go, and the morale of the soldiers was immediately boosted.

On the high platform, the smile on Sun Qing's face became brighter and brighter: "I declare, send troops!"

……

Lin Township and Yang City are very close, and like Quliu's fiefdom, they both belong to the transitional area between Yancheng and the nobles. There are nine townships and six lords here, of which two lords are scholars, and four lords are Taoist.

The lord of Lin Township is a Taoist.

At the moment, Qu Liu is acting as a lobbyist here.

"Mr. Sun's young master died at Dashi Pass, and his body was still hanging on the city wall. There was no dignity at all. It is completely understandable for Dr. Sun to rise up in anger. But you, brother Dao, should make a quick decision. If you surrender at this moment, There is still a ray of hope."

Hearing this, the white-haired old Taoist said seriously: "After the surrender, can the fief be preserved?"

The disciples sat on the futons, lined up in two rows, staring ahead, and all pricked up their ears, listening to Qu Liu's reply.Qu Liu shook his head slightly: "If you choose to surrender before raising your troops, there is still hope to keep the fief, at this moment..."

"Not even one village? The old man only needs one village to house those believers, isn't that okay?" The white beard curled up, showing the master's excited mood.

"If other nobles came this time, it is still possible, but Dr. Sun has a straightforward temperament, and has always had grudges and complaints. Moreover, not every doctor is willing to accept Taoists peacefully."

"After the surrender, can the orthodoxy be preserved? Can the safety of the old man's disciples be guaranteed?"

Hearing this, Qu Liu was silent again. After a long time, Qu Liu said: "After the surrender, there should be no danger of life. The doctor is kind. He said that as long as he is willing to hand over the certificate of renunciation and never preach again, he can do it." Save your life."

Hearing this, the old Taoist pointed to Quliu: "Hmph!"

"Should? He is really kind!"

"If the old man's prediction is correct, the so-called nomination certificate should be for the old man to take his disciples and the congregation together to act as the vanguard and attack Dashiguan, right? In the end, when more than half of the old man's disciples were killed or injured, or even more than half of them, He pretended to come forward again, and then "mercifully" gave me a village for the elderly. At that time, how long can I live? When the old man dies, who cares how long the old man's disciples can live? Two or thirty years later, this The village can be returned to the hands of the Sun family again, it is so 'kind'!"

"Exchanging the fiefdom of a village at the price of more than half of the disciples' disciples' deaths and injuries, is this so-called benevolence?"

Hearing this, Qu Liu frowned directly: "Your misunderstanding of Dr. Sun is really too deep. The doctor is not such a person."

"The location of Lin Township is very important. It is located at the rear of the army. If Lin Township is not dealt with first, the army's rear will be unstable. If an army breaks out from the rear at a critical moment, the entire army may even be wiped out in front."

"So, it's only natural that the doctor wants you to hand over the vote certificate, and it's not deliberately targeted. The doctor is kind, and the doctor said that if you don't want to hand over the vote certificate, it's fine, as long as you leave the forest with your disciples at this moment. Township, he deliberately and generously pretended not to see you, and let you go."

"For you, the doctor is willing to disobey the monarch's order to destroy Taoism. Why can't you think about it for the doctor? It is you Taoists who have too narrow thinking and concepts, and this is the situation today."

"Yancheng is like this, and Linxiang is also like this. Can't you think about the monarch? Can't you think about Chaoguo?"

At this moment, the old Taoist felt that Qu Liu was crazy.He subconsciously picked up the Ruyi in his hand. Seeing this scene, the disciples stood up one after another. Some drew out their swords, some took out their shields, and some took out their hand crossbows. Some held up seal-like instruments, and as long as the old Taoist said a word, the disciples would definitely do it immediately.

After a while, Qu Liu left.Seeing his leaving back, the old Taoist shook his head slightly: "Pack up immediately and go to Dashiguan."

"Try to persuade the people to leave with them later."

"Yangcheng is only seventy miles away from here. If the army is fast, it will arrive at night. If it is slow, it will arrive tomorrow. At this moment, the people will have a chance to leave unless they throw away their luggage immediately. However, before the soldiers arrive, they want to leave." Let the people give up all their wealth and go to Dashiguan with us..."

"I can't care so much anymore. Let the people know later. If you want to go, you can leave immediately. If you don't want to go, just let him go."

After the old Taoist made his decision, Jiang Hua, who was far away on Dongning Island, also learned about it immediately: the fate of another person was completely changed because of Jiang Hua.
