This gunshot was unexpected by both parties.
First of all, the Xu family, who didn't know what they were doing because of their madness, actually took out their flintlock guns with the promise of the head of the Xu family.
But it's one thing to pull out a flintlock, quite another to dare to fire.
However, things have now gone beyond his expectation.
Someone fired, it seemed to be someone from their side, shooting at the other party.
As a result, now things have taken a turn for the worse.
Li Xiao was also slightly startled.
Since the other party is shooting, it is not up to him. He has always been troubled by the alliance formed by such powerful families, which hinders his reform.
Li Xiao always wanted to set an example by destroying one family, so that the rest of the work could be carried out.
Since the Xu family had fired, they were going to take action on him.
"Destroy it! Don't hurt innocent people."
Li Xiao waved his hand and sentenced the Xu family to death.
"Kill! Destroy the Xu family, don't harm innocent people!"
Chang Yingwu shouted and led the cavalry to attack.
Thousands of days of training can be used in a moment!
He secretly trained soldiers in the Liushui Manor arranged for him by Li Xiao.
These soldiers are mainly trained in the use of firearms, and each of them is very skilled in marksmanship.
Most importantly, they were no longer armed with flintlock rifles, but automatic rifles.
The difference between the two is like a world of difference.
For example, if a thousand people with flintlock rifles are used against a hundred automatic rifle troops, they will collapse in an instant.
What's more, Li Xiao's unit also conducted modern shooting training.
Bang bang bang——
The battlefield was in chaos, with gunshots ringing out constantly and gunpowder smoke filling the air.
Li Xiao's cavalry of a thousand men rode on horseback and charged to kill them.
As for those people, they had already fled.
They were not working for the Xu family in the first place, but the Xu family had great power in the local area and had the right to speak, so they enlisted these common people to build momentum and persuade the other party to take action.
But once their lives are really in danger, these people will not really bleed and sacrifice their lives for the Xu family. They will be the first to escape.
The battlefield was empty, and the only people left were members of the Xu family.
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Without knowing the opponent's strength, they actually started to resist with flintlock guns.
In their view, the other party is a gun and will die if shot. They are also holding a gun and will die if shot.
In this case, there's nothing to be afraid of, just do it!
Although this battle started out of nowhere, once it started, there was no way to retreat.
But what they don't know is that there are differences between guns.
The two firearms are three hundred years apart in history.
It was a one-sided battle. As tongues of fire continued to bloom in the dust, dense bullets passed through the crowd and shot into the opponent's chest.
Soon, the Xu family was completely defeated and fled in all directions.
An hour later.
End the fight.
Where Xujiacun fought, the ground was stained with blood and was a mess.
Ninety percent of the three hundred people from the Xu family who participated in the battle were wiped out, and the remaining people in the villa were suppressed.
"horrible"
"The Xu family was destroyed like this?"
"Who are these people? This is amazing."
"I don't know either. The Xu family said he was a robber, but he doesn't look like it. How could there be such a powerful robber?"
The people who were secretly observing the situation from a distance couldn't help but whisper when they saw this scene.
Obviously the battle that just happened was too shocking.
The arrogant Xu family was crushed to death like ants in an instant.
The head of the Xu family was captured alive by soldiers and escorted to Li Xiao.
"Let our Xu family go. We were not the ones who fired the gun just now. If you don't believe me, you can ask."
"It must be that person. He is the person who gave us the gun. Master National Preceptor, I, the Xu family, are willing to make meritorious deeds and help you capture this person."
As soon as the head of the Xu family saw Li Xiao, he began to beg for mercy and explained the situation just now. The first shot was not fired by the Xu family.
"Whether it is opened by your Xu family or not, it doesn't matter anymore."
Li Xiao waved his hand.
Chang Yingwu on the side understood what he meant and pointed his gun at the head of the Xu family, and then with a bang, announced the end of the Xu family.
"This is the consequences of resisting the imperial court!"
Li Xiao looked at the dormitory chief beside him and said, "Zhang Yang, do you know what to do next?"
The destruction of the Xu family means that Li Xiao can directly take their land into his pocket without paying compensation, and it will be easier for him to establish control over the area.
The era of gentry and landlords taking charge of the governance of the people below must be completely ended.
The head of the She District named Zhang Yang raised his hands and said: "National Preceptor, I know how to run a house raid, seize the land, and hand it over to the court. The members of the family will be punished for rebellion. The men will be assigned to the border areas, and the women will be assigned to the Jiaofang Secretary. The district directly took over local jurisdiction, re-planned the land, and then began to establish village enterprises and bring the villagers to wealth.”
Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, you have learned well. Then I will leave this place to you. I will arrange fifty people to help you. In addition, I will publicize this matter widely and let everyone know that the consequences of disobeying the imperial court are only A dead end!"
Zhang Yang raised his hands: "Yes! Sir! I will definitely do it."
Just like that, Li Xiao left fifty people for Zhang Yang to handle the matter here.
He led his troops to the next place.
"Master, it seems things are not going well here."
Li Xiao led his troops at a very fast pace. In less than an hour, they would reach the next location. On the road, Chang Yingwu rode on his horse and looked at Li Xiao and said.
"Haha, it will go smoothly after you come."
Li Xiao said in greeting: "Chang Yingwu, you are still so reliable. The so-called mule or horse comes out to run around. When I saw you today, the quality of the troops trained for you is very good. I am very satisfied. It seems that you have suffered a lot this year. Suffering."
Just now, Li Xiao saw with his own eyes how Chang Yingwu organized the army to fight. You must know that Li Xiao had only given Chang Yingwu a "Combat Manual" before, but it was impossible to train like this without talent and hard work.
The way of fighting just now has departed from the ancient formation fighting method, but is a modern fighting method, wiping out all the opponent's numbers, but no one on his side was killed.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that the opponent's fighting ability is too high.
Chang Yingwu handed over his hand: "This is a matter within the scope of my subordinates. I was a little worried before about whether the soldiers were just talking on paper, but when I saw them today, the training was not in vain. However, what surprised my subordinates was that the powerful families here actually We even have flintlock guns, I don’t know how they got them.”
Li Xiao rode on the horse and smiled slightly: "A lot of things happened during the time I came to Nanjing. This flintlock gun was made by craftsmen in Peiping. As long as you find the craftsmen and use coercion and inducement, you can get the flintlock gun made." The method is nothing unusual, and the leakage of the flintlock rifle was within my expectation."
Chang Yingwu said: "Don't we have to be on guard, otherwise it would not be a good thing to let the flintlock guns wander out."
Li Xiaodao: "Of course we must guard against it. Not only must we guard against it, but we must strictly guard against deadly beatings. Firearms must not leave the court and can only be controlled by the court. Otherwise, the world will be prone to riots. After this matter is over, we must strictly investigate this matter." Of course, flintlock muskets are easy to develop, but in the future, automatic rifles will dominate the world. Automatic rifles are not something ordinary people can develop, but require a large number of supporting factories to produce them."
Chang Yingwu nodded and said: "Yes, automatic rifles are not inferior to flintlock guns. Head of the family, my subordinates admire you greatly. You can develop such a magical weapon, which is enough to sweep the overseas world. If your majesty learns about this, he will definitely be delighted. If you are mad, I will reward you."
Li Xiao laughed: "Do you think I need any more rewards? But Chang Yingwu, you reminded me that in order to conceal this matter before, His Majesty did not know about it, you quickly sent a few people to report the matter to the Supreme Emperor, so that the Supreme Emperor I’m also happy and happy.”
Although Zhu Yuanzhang now has a hundred trusts in himself, now that this matter has come out, he must be informed.
In this way, Chang Yingwu immediately dispatched several soldiers to report the matter to the capital. Li Xiao also wrote a handwritten letter and asked him to take them with him.
An hour later, Li Xiao arrived at the next "forced demolition point."
As soon as the army arrived, the local powerful men immediately gave in. Li Xiao did whatever he said and behaved like a son.
"Master Imperial Master, from now on I, Zhang Jiawei, the Imperial Master, will follow the lead!"
The head of the Zhang family warmly received Li Xiao and expressed his attitude.
Originally, the Zhang family was also a member of the alliance formed by the Thunderstorm Talks, but how could such an alliance be stable? After a series of operations by Li Xiao in the past few months, as well as asking around, the Zhang family had realized that the National Master did not seem to be just like them. A small family can resist. Even if all the families really work together, whether it will succeed or not is another question.
There is an old saying in China: He who knows the current affairs is a hero.
At the moment, whether it is true or false, the head of the Zhang family has done a very good job on the surface, making it impossible for Li Xiao to find any fault.
"Yes, as long as you understand, then I won't stay. This district chief represents the will of our national division. Please cooperate well!"
After Li Xiao gave authority and voice to the local district chief, he stood up and left.
"Master, please walk slowly, there are some local specialties here, don't dislike them."
The head of the Zhang family sent him off in person, and before leaving, he also gave Li Xiao some local specialties.
Li Xiao smiled and said, "You know the current affairs of the world. If the Xu family were like you, why would they be destroyed by our master?"
Hearing this, the head of the Zhang family broke into a cold sweat.
The Xu family in Zhenjiang and Huxi was wiped out? ? ?
This frightened him for a while.
At night, the head of the Zhang family inquired about the news and learned that the Xu family was really destroyed. He was frightened for a while. Fortunately, he was sensible and did not really go against the national master.
Otherwise, this will be the fate of the Xu family.
Fifty flintlock guns were completely vulnerable to the troops of the National Preceptor.
The three hundred members of the Xu family all ended up dying, being caught, and ended tragically.
Thunderstorm talks, alliances and all that to hell.
That night, the head of the Zhang family asked his children to destroy the fifty flintlock guns sent by "Mr. Liang" to avoid harming himself!
After Li Xiao left, the Zhang family here also tried their best to cooperate with the work of the district chief. The district government office was quickly established and construction began.
In this way, along the way, the families began to surrender and surrender.
at the same time,
Not in a villa in Annan.
At this time, Lan Bin, the mastermind of the dark web, is listening to the news from his subordinates.
"The head of the family is in trouble. All the flintlock guns we distributed have misfired. Only the Xu family in Zhenjiang dared to take out their guns to resist. It was we who fired in private that triggered the fight. As a result, the Xu family, a waste, even that Li Xiao No one was hurt, the entire army was wiped out, the families below him were all on their own, as timid as rats, and no one dared to resist anymore."
The subordinates reported what happened in Nanjing City during this period.
"hateful!"
Lan Bin slammed the table and stood up. He was tall and muscular. He looked more like his father Lan Yu than the arrogant and domineering Lan Nao'er back then. He had the air of a military commander, with long hair hanging around his shoulders. The breath was heavy and oppressive.
However, Lan Bin's character is not as heroic as he appears. Instead, he is very aloof and has an aura of self-admiration.
Lan Bin said angrily: "Are those families in Nanjing city all trash? I spent so much hard work to build flintlock guns for them. I don't even have the guts to make trouble. We agreed to an alliance. If one family gets into trouble, we will work together to help. Where are their promises!! Do they really want to sit back and let Li Xiao complete the reform??? Waste, waste!"
Zhu Yunxi on the side said: "Hey, cousin, there is no need to be angry. I have already said that these families have their own agendas and it is impossible to cohere. Once things change, they will focus on protecting themselves. How can it really be possible?" Are you going to fight the imperial court?"
It was Lan Bin who came up with the idea, and Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything.
But now the goal has been achieved. At least the national teacher needs to spend a lot of time dealing with this matter, so that he can free up time to do big things.
"Yunxi, what do you think we should do now?"
Lan Bin couldn't make up his mind and looked at Zhu Yuntong.
During this time, he realized that his cousin seemed to be very smart and had his own opinions, and he gradually listened to his ideas in everything.
"There's no rush yet."
Zhu Yuntong shook his head, looked at the servant who came to report the news and said: "National Preceptor Li Xiao, did you show anything?"
The servant reported: "It is true. The gun of the Dog Kingdom Master is even more powerful, and the flintlock gun cannot match it at all. This is also the reason why families everywhere are frightened. The flintlock gun is powerful, but compared with a gun like that , it’s just far away.”
Zhu Yuntong: "What gun??"
The servant shook his head: "I don't know either. It can fire continuously, and its power and range are far beyond that of a flintlock gun."
"It turns out there is a trump card, and Li Xiao's trump cards are really endless!"
Zhu Yuntong's eyes narrowed slightly. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Lan Bin and said: "Cousin, next I decided to change the previous strategy. We have to change the base area to the south. But before that, we have to let the previous Once the layout is in motion, let Li Xiao spend time to solve it, so they have no time to worry about anything else! Change the place, land is king! Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to defeat Li Xiao, but we have a big advantage !”
Lan Bin asked: "What advantage?"
Zhu Yun said: "We are still young, even younger than Li Xiao. If you keep on enduring, Li Xiao will be jealous one day because of his superior skills. We can't wait for the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor. They will definitely be suspicious of Li Xiao before they leave. , get rid of him. After the two people who support him, the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, leave, it will be his death!!"
Hearing this, Lan Bing's eyes lit up: "Cousin, this is a great plan! Let's just be like Sima Yi and beat Li Xiao to death!"
Following Zhu Yuntong's plan, Lan Bin's layout in various places began to riot in advance.
The other side.
While Li Xiao was busy demolishing, pieces of news reached Li Xiao's ears.
"Master, there have been civil unrest in many places, gunshots have been fired, and local government offices or county offices have been occupied. News of these rebellions is being conveyed to the capital."
Liu Dakai galloped on a fast horse and delivered this news to Li Xiao.
"What? Civil riots in many places? Where are they?"
"Not in Nanjing, but mainly in Hanzhong, Annan, and Guangxi."
Li Xiao asked slightly surprised. Possible civil uprisings in Nanjing City were suppressed, but riots broke out in other places.
This is intentional, what is the purpose?
After thinking for a long time, Li Xiao couldn't figure out the reason.
"Forget it, if you don't think about it, don't think about it. Do the things in front of you first!"
The other side.
Capital City, Imperial Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang also received news from Li Xiao and various places.
"What??? Li Xiao has developed a new gadget again?" (End of Chapter)
