One day later, when the sun was shining all over Xiuyan mansion, countless people were in a complicated mood when they looked at the figure sitting on the wall near the Xicheng gate.
Awe, look up, worry, fear?
Different people naturally have different moods.
Yesterday, Wei Wenguang's two knives completely broke all the morale of tens of thousands of cavalry. Tens of thousands of cavalry dismounted outside the city and surrendered, waiting for Wei Wenguang to be incorporated.
In this process, no matter what your status, you can't incite those soldiers to go against Wei Wenguang. That's unrealistic.
Then, Wei Wenguang began to explain in his voice. He announced that from the day he advocated Xiuyan mansion, he would restore the freedom of all slaves in the city. The deed of sale owned by Tang family and other small and medium-sized families would be automatically abolished from yesterday.
All usury IOUS and so on are automatically discarded.
With these two points alone, more than 90% of the private soldiers of the rich and powerful families suddenly became sincere to Wei Wenguang. They wholeheartedly supported the new Hussars general.
Even if the Hussars general was not officially appointed by the state of Lu, but led by himself, so what?
Then, Wei Wenguang should announce that from today on, if anyone joins the army of the Hussars general's house, he can lead two mu of good farmland. In the future, military merit will be awarded to fields and knights. Even if he just talks about it in rough terms without too detailed explanation, it will be enough to impress those rich private soldiers and even countless small handicraftsmen in the city.
What kind of small craftsmen are most right in Fucheng? Wharf coolies and sedan bearers are all poor people who have no land and almost no family in the city. Can they get two mu of land when they join the army? Even if two acres of land can't satisfy a person, it's also a field, an inheritance that can be passed on to future generations.
If Wei Wenguang hadn't said it, he would not consider recruiting in the Fucheng until his army from Shangxi county came and took over the Fucheng. It is estimated that people who want to sign up to join the army and become sergeants of the general's house can line up all over the street from the west of the city to the east of the city.
The grassroots people in Fucheng have begun to support this general Wei like a God and devil, and can't wait for his army to come.
In other words, the gate tower of the west gate is the best proof. After that, countless people visited it and easily cut the gate tower with a knife. General Wei is also invulnerable and jumps like flying. Do you need to consider losing with such a general?
Since he basically won't lose, joining the army is to pick up credit with general Wei. The countless acres of good farmland outside the city are basically in the hands of huge grain merchants and gentry such as Zhang Yiwen and Wang Yao, but the Hussars general personally killed the men in Wang Yao's family yesterday.
Yes, since he announced his various policies, Wang Yao knew something bad and planned to lead his family to flee. Before he left the city, he was beheaded by Wei Wenguang in public.
After all, in addition to being the largest grain merchant, Wang Yao is also the leader of Fucheng brothels, casinos, usury and other industries. The blood of the small people in his hands is almost frightening, which is much more cruel than the Lu family in Shangxi county. Wei Wenguang can't keep him alive.
The Wang Yao family suffered heavy casualties, and the Zhang Yiwen family was no better. Although many families were still alive after the trial, they were also raided by general Wei for more than 95% of their family property, including farmland outside the city.
Now, general Wei is the biggest landlord of Xiuyan mansion!
Xiuyan Prefecture magistrate's office, Xiuyan Prefecture governor's office and governor's office were all abandoned by Wei Wenguang, waiting for the construction of Hussars general's office.
Early this morning, Wei Wenguang sat at the head of the city, waiting for his army to enter the city.
Sitting here, near the west gate, he naturally gathered countless figures. Everyone was waiting.
"Come, come!"
I don't know how long it was, suddenly there was a cry of surprise in the city. Countless people waiting heard the wind. Just wanted to look outside the city, they heard the cry louder.
"General, Han Jianzhou of angung county is coming down."
“……”
When many people were confused by this turning point, Wei Wenguang burst out laughing, "my second brother is so fast."
With a smile, countless people were shocked. So far, only the top powerful family owners and elites knew that Han Jianzhou and Zhang Shun had colluded with the general for a long time.
Under the attention of thousands of people, the sound of horses' hoofs soon came to mind in the streets of the city. A group of elite riders came from the East. Because the road was smooth, Han Jianzhou and a group of followers killed a few meters below the west gate like the wind.
Not seen for more than two months, Han Jianzhou's momentum at the moment is obviously much more heroic and dignified than when he first worked more than two months ago.
However, Han Jianzhou did not expect that the rebellious cause of their brothers would be staged in Xiuyan mansion in such a posture.
Han Jianzhou and a group of followers were still in a trance. Wei Wenguang jumped down from the nine meter high wall and stood in front of Han Jianzhou.
Han Jianzhou, "..."
The people witnessed the miracle with their own eyes, and Han Jianzhou quickly dismounted to pay homage.
"Big brother!"
"I've seen the big boss!"
…………
"Ha ha, get up. With the help of all brothers, our great cause in Xiuyan mansion is as stable as a rock." Wei Wenguang smiled and praised, and a huge sound gradually sounded outside the west city.
This time, it's really coming!
Two thousand cavalry and four thousand infantry, plus a team of Quartermaster and baggage, the journey of the army is naturally huge. The dust and yellow smoke rolled up are still far away, which makes many people near the west city feel it.
"We'll talk about everything later. Let's go and meet the old man with me!"
Wei Wenguang opened his mouth with a smile. He himself turned over and mounted his horse. He took a group of brothers from angung county and killed them out of the city gate. Soon, the owners of the Tang family, the Shen family, the Liu family and so on accepted their orders and rode out of the city.
To tell the truth, since Wei Wenguang's practice is similar to that of Han Zhang, these top giants ask themselves that even if they wait to be sentenced, they can still keep the backbone of the family at most.
As for industry? As Tang huailan speculated, even if 80% or 90% of the family dandies will be sentenced for their bad deeds and diseases, what they can stay is still a wealth that can make countless people jealous.
I can't fight again and again. I can't escape. I can't even keep my servants and private soldiers. Even if you run away with wealth, can you keep it? Is it really fun to be pirates of all countries? Is it really good to be a gentry in other places?
Even if they fled with wealth and fled to gentry who had courteous relations and retained a certain strength, those relatives would be jealous of wealth and swallow them up.
In that case, what if you don't accept your life?
Time passed quietly. When Wei Wenguang and the 6000 soldiers and horses from Shangxi gathered and talked and laughed with Yang Dingyuan outside the city, he followed the owners of the families who came out, and the middle-aged elderly people dominated by Tang Qianrang gradually stared at Yang Dingyuan and started to stay.
No, who is this handsome uncle? It looks familiar, and the more you see it, the more familiar it looks??
Looking at each other for a while, Tang Qianrang patted his thigh, "is that Yang Dingyuan who has been dead for eight years? Yang Dingyuan, the famous marshal of Lu?"
"It's true. I always suspected that it was the Wufu who didn't appreciate it. I just couldn't believe it... God damn, he's been dead for eight years. I remembered him when I was buried. How did he jump out of the grave?"
