Chapter 972 Wuzhen Kyushu

Niu Jianhu mobilized two thousand navy troops, hundreds of boats of all sizes, and transported eight thousand elite troops westward and arrived in Xunzhou soon. Qin Lang did not delay along the way, nor did he even land, and ignored the welcome and reception of the officials along the way.

From Xunzhou to Rongshui (Qianjiang), the entire army accelerated and rushed to Rongzhou for hundreds of miles.

On a morning full of thick fog, Qin Cunxiao led a thousand military soldiers as the vanguard and launched a raid on Rongzhou City. The city was originally named Huangshui, which was also where Wang Xuance, who was boldly promoted to Linyi, once served as the county magistrate.

But now it is Rongzhou Prefecture City and has been renamed Rongshui County.

One thousand-tooth elite soldiers, accompanied by Feng Xian, Chen Yang and other three thousand elite servants from eight families, Qin Cunxiao climbed to the top of the city with a sword while stepping on a bamboo ladder, and the Rongshuixi man in the city had not yet discovered it.

Qin Langshou took the Rongshui City to take action because Rongshuiximan was bold and captured Rongshui City not long ago.

This can be said to have stabbed a hornet's nest.

Although Rongshui is a very remote state in Guangxi Road, it has been newly established in recent years. In terms of population, money, food, etc., it is not as good as a county in Guangzhou, but no matter what, it is already a formal state officially established by the imperial court.

Such a state and county town was captured by barbarians, which is no trivial matter.

If a barbarian rebels in the mountains, goes down the mountain to grab villages and rob caravans, it is still a trivial matter, but if you dare to capture prefectures and counties, you will seek death.

Originally, the Guizhou Governor's Office had already been going to dispatch Jingjiang's army to encircle and suppress it. When he reported to Guangzhou, Qin Lang pressed it first and killed them by himself.

Because the Jingjiang Army did not take action, these barbarians became more and more arrogant. They really thought they were already amazing. The chief didn't know where he got the courage. He actually started to build a year name in the city, and to be the king of the emperor, and even had a great title of Prime Minister Marshal, and civil and military officials.

The young wives, concubines and daughters of wealthy businessmen in the city were all sealed into their own stolen palaces and 72 concubines, and the barbarians allowed their men to block the city for three days.

He became king after conquering Zuozhou City, and then he began to enjoy the three palaces and six concubines he stolen. He killed pigs, cows, drinks and has fun all day long, and didn't know what to do next.

The barbarians below are the same, fighting for the big houses in the city, grabbing women, grabbing money, and even grabbing food. They grab whatever they have and fight at any time.

No one paid attention to this city defense or something.

No one said he wanted to recruit soldiers and build equipment, and he just enjoyed it like this.

Qin Lang fought all the way from Guangzhou, but they didn't react at all.

When Qin Cunxiao quietly touched the city under the morning mist at dawn, he then set up a bamboo ladder, held a horizontal knife on his mouth, and climbed up the city with his hands and feet, there was no barbarian in the city.

The barbarians gathered in the city gate building and slept soundly, with no one defending them.

Qin Cunxiao jumped onto the top of the city wall, rushed along the city wall with a knife, and then he slashed one by one, and instantly he became a barbarian who was still sleeping. In the face of severe pain, the barbarian opened his drunken eyes and couldn't figure out the situation at all.

Cunxiao drew his sword and waved his sword again. The barbarian's head had been cut off, and his bones were spinning on the ground, his eyes were still intoxicated.

Other fangs arrived and slashed their swords. All the drunk and dizzy guards in the city gate building were cut to death and blood flowed all over the ground.

Blood and energy soar into the sky.

Qin Cunxiao shook the blade expressionlessly, threw away the blood from the knife, turned around and went down the city along the horse road.

In the city gate, another random knife was taken down.

The city gate was lifted up with one hand and took it down. Several soldiers stepped forward and opened the city gate.

The soldiers who had long been ambushing the city gate rushed in.

Almost at the same time, the other gates of Rongshui City were quickly taken down like Cunxiao.

The city gate opened and several soldiers rushed in.

After Cunxiao was killed in front of the prefecture, only then did the barbarian soldiers come to stop him.

Cunxiao had already transferred to a war horse, holding a sword in his hand, waving it repeatedly, and the barbarians were cut off by one knife.

The fang soldiers behind them shot with long bows and crossbows, nailing them to the ground.

The Barbarian King arrived in shorts and carried a knife. Before he could figure out the situation, he was cut off by Cunxiao with one knife.

The Barbarian King dies.

The barbarian country is destroyed!

In less than half an hour, the entire Rongzhou City was recovered. Qin Lang personally stayed outside the city and opened a big net, but no barbarian thief escaped.

After dawn, Tang army began to search for fish that missed the net.

One barbarian after another was taken outside the city gate, tied up and kneeled on the ground.

The people in the city who survived many disasters and survived the heavenly disasters were all very happy and wept. Unexpectedly, we would see the light of heaven again and see the king again.

"How to deal with these sages?"

The bloody smell in the city had not yet dissipated, and the rescued people surrounded the prisoners, and their eyes were full of fire, wishing to swallow these barbarian thieves alive.

Qin Lang sat on the pony letter and looked at the dejected barbarians.

I have had a happy time, but now I have to pay the price.

"Cut off the big toes of both feet, and carve the face of the lettering and deposed to slaves."

"If anyone can point out who is stained with blood in his hands, he will cut it straight away."

Qin Lang slowly spoke out his treatment of these people, cold and ruthless.

On that day, more than 800 barbarians who died in the battle during the attack on the city were killed after the city was broken, and more than 5,000 were demoted to slaves. Two of their toes were cut off and the words "sin' slave" were stabbed directly on their faces.

Qin Lang left behind a position as a temporary governor to join the army to help restore Rongzhou city defense, help the people rebuild their homes, and then continue to move forward.

He sent a light cavalry and took the head of the barbarian thief leader to persuade him to surrender.

In one day, the seventeen Xidong Barbarian Villages surrendered without fighting.

When I met eight villages, I resisted behind closed doors.

Qin Lang directly summoned the surrendered barbarian camps to send troops, gathering tens of thousands of barbarians to attack.

Feng Zhidai and others led the military officers to supervise the army behind.

In front was the dangerous barbarian camp, but behind was the military supervisor with a sword on his face showing a fierce light.

The barbarians could only rush to the point of rushing, but fortunately Qin Lang did not intend to kill people with a knife. They rushed in front, and the official army covered the crossbows in the back, and even set up crossbows and light catapults to assist.

No barbarian camp can block such an offensive.

Within ten days, eight villages were broken.

After breaking the village, Qin Lang dealt with the same treatment as the barbarians in Rongzhou City. The leader and his direct children directly killed them, and the rest were demoted to slaves. The village was completely filled with things and burned them away, which became history since then.

After that, the barbarians from other parts of Rongzhou all surrendered, and took the initiative to send people to carry the cows and drinks to reward the army. They even took the initiative to send their sons and nephews to the army to serve as magistrates, and dared not resist any longer.

Qin Lang didn't despise the behavior of the barbarians. Anyway, this has always been the case. He bullies the strong and is afraid of the weak, and he is still confused about the situation. He dares to rush when he sees a little profit, and is beaten and then retreats.

Qin Lang simply issued a convening order to the barbarians in Rongzhou City, asking all the leaders of the village to come to pay their respects.

And several conditions were issued.

First, all the barbarians should work together to help Jingliufu build the official road station in Rongzhou, and also clear the Rongxi waterway.

Secondly, the barbarian villages should help rebuild Rongzhou City and four other county towns including Sanjiang, Wuyang.

Third, each barbarian village should send talented people to work in prefectures, counties and townships to assist the government in governing Rongzhou. Each barbarian village should send young and strong men to join the regiment camps formed by Rongzhou and the security teams of each county to accept uniformly the tempering of prefectures and counties.

"Fourth, since the martial arts, you have never paid taxes, money and grain, nor have you served in the service. Originally, all the arrears must be paid, but the person who is originally polite and kind will not be investigated in the past. However, from now on, all Xidong Manzhai in Rongzhou will start measuring the fields and checking households. All Dingkou will be registered as household registration, and all fields, mountains and forests will be included in the official archives. The household registration book and the land of the land and mountain deeds must be handled uniformly."

"I will still give you the license to exempt you from this year's two taxes, but starting next year, the two taxes will be officially paid, the land tax will be paid according to the number of land acres, and household tax will be paid according to households. In addition, charity warehouse grain and social warehouse grain are all for preparation for wasteland and disaster relief, so they must be paid according to the regulations of land acres, etc."

Finally, Qin Lang made a request, which was to take away some chiefs and serve with the army, and to recruit another group of their children as eunuchs in the tent.

Faced with Qin Lang's request, the barbarians looked at each other, but in fact they were a little surprised, which was easier than expected.

"Of course, there is one thing I didn't mention, but you should take the initiative to do it, that is, if there are Han people who are slaves in Guxidong Man Village, they should immediately and unconditionally return them to the government, including their spouses, children, etc.."

"This, isn't it a problem?"

Qin Lang's eyes swept over.

The barbarian chiefs of all sizes knelt on the ground, all bowed down and agreed.

Although Duke Wei was young and spoke very lightly, no one dared to disobey him. In Lingnan, many barbarians now only know Duke Wei but not Emperor Tang.

Duke Wei personally went to this wilderness, so how could they dare to say that they were not a word?

Not to mention letting them hand over the Han slaves, they would not dare to say a word even if they hand over their wives and daughters.

The consequences of those broken villages are the lessons learned from the past.

Although there are some large barbarian villages, the places where they live are very dangerous, and some even build the villages on cliffs and have to climb up and down through vine ladders.

As long as you remove the vine ladder, one man will be the pass, and ten thousand men will not open it. Even the mountains can be cultivated with grain and streams, and it will be no problem to stay for a year or two.

But the barbarians are not stupid. If this is the case, they will be the prison. When many villages surrendered, they continued to resist to the end, and there was no good result.

You can't just stay on the cliff all the time. There is water and fields on the mountain, but there is no salt. And there is so much to do in life, you have to trade with other villages, or even with the Han people.

That's not a long-term solution at all.

When the conditions offered by Qin Lang were pretty good, these barbarians breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was room for room for nothing, they would be defeated by the death.

Many people began to regret it, but why did they turn against it?
