Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 198

Wang Hou only had three axes, a trebuchet, a cannon and red briquettes, but it was easy to use at any time!

This is also the reason why he is actively building with reinforced concrete. These days, most of the buildings are made of wood. This thing is most afraid of fire. Even if it is as magnificent as Abang Palace, a great building like Daming Palace is like a big fire. The ground was burned to nothingness, let alone this small cottage.

Even if they often encounter wars, they have a certain degree of fire resistance, but they can't prevent coal!I watched two heavy-duty return guns dismantle the projectile arms installed on the beams of the house and flew out at once, and hundreds of catties of red-hot coals in a big spoon dragged long black coals in the air. Tail, yelling that Ollie flew out.

The hot red coal crackled and fell and hit the wall. The Taishan bandit defenders covered their heads, crying for their father and mother, hiding everywhere, but there is a saying that if you can run, you can’t run away from the temple. The red coals smashed hard on the wall Above, in the house, on the haystack, the thatched roof is directly on the ground, a large pile of blankets and buckets are desperately spreading, but on the other side, smoldering coals are lying on the pile of wood , Corridor, wall and other wooden places to lie down for a while, the black smoke rose again.

There was smoke and fire everywhere, and a large house surrounded by people burned into briquettes in a blink of an eye. The thick black smoke made people cough, and people couldn't stay any longer. This battle of attacking the village has come to an end.

However, even the Taishan bandits are divided into three, six, and nine classes. Seeing the smoky fire, those big landlords and big bandit leaders wrapped some gold and silver softly, brought their dog legs and concubines, and turned around. Fleeing towards the deeper mountains and jungles, the poor mountain people who are usually tenants and serfs at the bottom level, who were promoted to be minions during the war, escaped in a daze, opened the gate, and welcomed their new masters.

In fact, it really takes time to solve the problem of Taishan thieves. This battle is just the beginning. Those who escaped to the back of the mountain are all the core and most stubborn vested interests among the Taishan local tyrants. It is extremely difficult to carry out the second wave of search and extermination!Moreover, Wang Hou burned down their houses, robbed their tenant farmers, and destroyed at least half of their life of rice worms that they could eat and wait to die. I am afraid that these bandits will hate Wang Hou's teeth so much in this life.

But now, Wang Hou can't take care of these follow-ups. We will talk about offending people later, and we have to get people here first!
This stockade is already the fourth cottage. Li Dabeard's Wanlu Mountain has already become a thing of the past five days ago. In the midst of the fireworks, the Wang family's army didn't even have to rush into the stockade, but directly at the entrance of the stockade. Just waiting to catch people, but being forced to have nowhere to escape by the raging fire, these Taishan mountain people became Wang Hou's prisoners one by one like moths flying into the fire.

Some people were cursing, others were crying, and they ran to the Tianhu stockade that had already been set on fire, calling for their relatives. Outside, Wang Hou actually felt uncomfortable.

Before he crossed over, he had fantasized that in ancient times, he would either be a hero with high martial arts skills, hoe the strong and help the weak, or be an unselfish Wang Qingtian who couldn't tolerate a trace of sand in his eyes, but now it's all right, he's this after all. Still living as the person I hate the most, the king bully!He has bullied the common people, the king dog official. I really don't know if future TV dramas can give himself the image of a white-faced treacherous minister.

However, without sufficient labor force, enough steel and coal cannot be produced. Without these two primary industrial treasures, he, Wang Hou, would not be able to accomplish great things, even if he could not win Qingzhou, it would be considered a trivial matter. Losing himself and Cao Hongjie and Lu Ji’s life would be a big deal. It's a big deal, as a patriarch, Wang Hou has to protect not only his delicate wife, but also his maids, as well as Zhao Yun Wang Congge Zanghong who has taken refuge in his generals, and the tenants of several previous episodes under his command. It's not that the higher you stand, the farther you can see, you can eat, drink and enjoy yourself, and the pressure of overwhelming benefits is just like Alexander.

So, before you die and I live, or you die, I live well! , at least when Wang Hou rules Qingzhou in the future, it will definitely be much better than Qingzhou under Yuan Tan's governance!Therefore, please make a contribution to the future of Qingzhou!

As the leader of the family, you have to carry a heavy load!In an instant, his eyes became as cold as iron, and Wang Hou ordered without emotion.

"Suppress them all and make them official slaves!"

"The last will obey!"

…………

These days, the army's iron-blooded operations, arresting people everywhere, are as cruel as the garrison order implemented by Mr. Cao in the later period, but the effect is also excellent. In just eight days when the army was dispatched, four villages were broken, and they were full of officials and slaves. There are tens of thousands of people.

At the peak of Qingzhou's population in this era, it is said to have reached 300 million. However, a few years ago, the million-level Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army swept across the entire Central Plains. The war and refugees caused the loss of about half of Qingzhou's population, and the rest were mostly concentrated in Luxi. In the plain area of ​​northern Lu, under Yuan Tan's command, Taishan County will have a population of 10,000+ left!
This allowed Wang Hou to pick the big persimmons and squeeze one-twenty-fifth to one-thirtieth of the population at once.

This time, they brought more than 2000 men and women back to Longma Village, filling up the already crowded village.

Wang Hou is a black-hearted bandit, and he is not here to enjoy himself!When you come, you have to work!The more than 2000 strong men brought back a few days ago have been organized and stuffed into the iron mine behind Longmazhai. Two more mines were pulled out at once, and the red iron ore was piled up on their hey yo hey yo Next, the warehouse where Xu Du stored the ore before was full.

With so many people, it is no problem to eat for the time being. I got 1000 shi of military rations from Langya, and I also got some from these villages. It is enough for the army and the people to eat for about a year, and I can wait for the autumn harvest to break through. Several stockades and a bunch of natural village fields were harvested. The only thing that was a bit difficult was the residence. After all, Longma Village was originally a small cottage with less than 2 people, and more than [-] people were stuffed into it at once. Not to mention these prisoners, even Wang Hou's army all slept in tents and lived in the open air, let alone prisoners.

Fortunately, with the experience of large-scale construction of the East County, the construction team of the Wang family is now an experienced contracting team. Here is still an iron mine, with a pile of slag. On the mountain, several master craftsmen commanded the captured official slaves Sighing and excavating the foundation, women were all mobilized at the bottom of the slope, humming the slag and clay to refine cement with the large Taishan stone millstones seized from those cottages.

On the mountain, as soon as Wang Hou led the army back with two behemoths, Jia Xu, who was in charge of the left-behind command, greeted them sadly with an old face.

"Dong Weng, why are you arresting someone again!!!"
