Since ancient times in China, the squires have united to support the leader Xiaoyong in troubled times and formed forces to jointly protect property! This is called righteousness! Although Qin Ge's move to recruit righteous followers almost deprived the squires of half of their property, in order to preserve the clan bloodline in this critical situation, the squires followed Qin Ge one after another. Some stingy squires were not prepared to donate, but others donated. The squires all gave Qin Ge advice, asking him to order the squires who did not donate to be expelled from Panshi Town. This is human nature, with its tendency to crowd and reject!
With the support of the rural gentry, the post-disaster reconstruction work was progressing smoothly. Qin Ge also recruited 50,000 rural warriors in the name of Yi Cong. Lei Bao was personally responsible for the command and training. This rural warrior force will become a standing garrison force in the territory. , participate in farming in their spare time, and garrison villages during wartime. At the same time, they are also the reserve army of the regular troops of the Free Territory! Since the benefits and salaries of the Free Territory troops are very high, many young men and women actively participate. However, considering the financial problems of the territory, Qin Ge does not plan to expand the army!
After distributing weapons to Xiangyong, Qin Ge sent four people, Qin Fujin, Qin Fushui, Qin Fumu, and Qin Futu, with twenty uncles of gold grade or above, to station in the fortress village established in Panshi Town (a village selected based on its geographical location in the countryside , build fortifications. When the fortress village enters a state of war, at least a thousand people will be stationed. According to the war, militiamen can be mobilized from the villages in the jurisdiction!), the squires saw the Qin family's cutting-edge combat power and elite troops dispatched, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. .
Qin Ge also began to ask Man Chong to select talents from the squires to expand the administrative framework of the free territory! In about half a month, all the refugees in Panshi Town have returned to their hometowns and resettled in their homes. When Chen Yuan was rebuilding after the disaster, he not only fully considered the construction of his residence, but also re-explored and developed all the resources of Panshi Town. He opened up 100,000 acres of fertile land, and personally led the people to go deep into the mountains and forests to pick delicacies and game to buffer against the shortage of food for disaster relief. Man Chong is good at mastering the overall framework, and Chen Yuan is proficient in going deep into the people and solving the most practical problems. In less than half a month, this scholar with a Qingzhou accent, who is darker than a farmer, is walking around the countryside all day long. The scholar who traveled around became Chen Qingtian in the eyes of the victims!
In the free leader's meeting hall, Qin Ge saw the reconstruction information of each village. He breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled at everyone sitting there: "Chen Shude went to the countryside again?"
Man Chong clasped his fists and said: "There was a conflict between the people of Qingshi Village and Tanxi Village over the ownership of the nearby mountains. Mr. Qin Fujin went to mediate, but the people of the two villages gave up and went back. This morning, another conflict broke out between the two villages, injuring more than ten people. Chen Shude then I asked for a fast horse and hurried off!"
Qin Ge turned back to Wei Sanniang and said: "Chen Shude has been working hard for the territory these days and spending all his time in the countryside. I see that he is getting thinner and thinner. You can set up an official service fee for going to the countryside to improve the treatment of these hard-working village officials. It's a subsidy!" Wei Sanniang took out her note and wrote down the matter.
"Brother! We have found a treasure this time. Chen Shude is a man of action and good at civil affairs. He is indispensable for the post-disaster reconstruction of Panshi Town and the stability of the villagers!" Zhuge Xiaoliang praised Chen Yuan full of praise.
Man Chong also smiled and said: "That's right! Chen Shude is diligent in civil affairs, active in thinking, and has won the hearts of the people. In some aspects, Chong is ashamed of himself. He is a rare talent!" Several others also praised him. Chen Yuan.
Qin Ge nodded and said: "Chen Yuan's achievements are obvious to all. However, the most important thing in the territory now is the people's support. Although the refugees in our town have settled down, refugees from other towns have flooded into our town due to rampant thieves, especially the Lijia Town next door. , I heard that it was completely captured by the Shidian Yanluo, Heifengzhai and other bandits. There are more than 200,000 refugees in the entire township, and they are flooding in. We must consider solving this matter!"
"Do as I say! Let's gather elite soldiers to wipe out these gangsters and demons, and pacify Lijiazhen! Only in this way can we cure the root cause!" Sun Guan stood up and spoke loudly.
Zhuge Xiaoliang quickly shook his head and said: "No! No! Now Zang Ba has entangled more than 600,000 troops to surround Taishan County. This Black Wind Stronghold is under the banner of Zang Ba. If we attack them, we will offend them." Zang Ba, Zang Ba has the best face, and when Zang Ba pursues the case, it will not be easy to destroy our Panshi Town!"
Sun Guan's eyes flashed with fighting spirit and he said: "I have long heard that Zang Ba is known as the best in Mount Tai. I am about to learn from him!" However, Sun Guan still sat down. He knew that Zhuge Xiaoliang was telling the truth and he is now free. The leader simply cannot afford to offend Zang Ba!
"Report!" A messenger hurried in and handed an urgent document to Qin Ge. Qin Ge spread his hands and looked at his face, his face changed slightly and said: "Uncle Fushui sent an urgent report. The gang of bandits from Heifeng Village gathered hundreds of thousands of people and marched towards Panshi Town, preparing to attack Panshi where the Shi family is located. Town!" Everyone suddenly became a little ugly.
Feng Lie attended and said: "Brother! We cannot let Heifeng Village capture Panshi Town, not to mention the political status of Panshi Town. If Heifeng Village is allowed to occupy Panshi Town, they can use Panshi Town as a springboard to fully invade every village in the town. At that time, they can advance and attack, but retreat and defend, and we will be passive!"
Zhuge Xiaoliang's face changed drastically and he shook his head: "But if we fight with Heifeng Village, Zang Ba will be held accountable..."
"Then let's do it! Are we going to let others bully us like this?" Sun Guan stood up and slapped the case.
Qin Ge narrowed his eyes and said: "Yingzi is right. Since Zang Ba dares to attack, we can't stretch our necks and let others chop him! I decided to destroy Heifeng Village! He wants to fight! I will fight!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The generals of the Free Territory stood up one after another, raised their hands and shouted angrily. Since the establishment of the Free Territory, they have walked with iron blood to get to the present, and their bones are full of warlike genes.
"Since we are going to fight, I think there is someone I must meet!" Feng Lie stood up and said to Qin Ge: "This morning, the city defense army caught a ragged spy who was about to sneak into the administrative district without permission, but I caught him , he claims to be the son of the mayor of Lijia Town, his name is Li Bian! This kid was caught by us and uttered arrogant words, I am interrogating him!"
"Lord! This Li Bian is a well-known person in Mou County. He has read the Four Books and Five Classics. The county government once recruited him to be the chief clerk. However, this man is so proud of his talent that he is said to be a swan in the sky. How can he live in a straw nest! He resigned openly. Traveling around to study, he is a famous madman in Mou County!" A village official came out. This man was called Gao Bei. He was a third-rate scribe discovered among the squires and was recruited by Qin Ge to work.
Qin Ge's eyes lit up. This Li Bian was well-known in the counties. He might be a hidden talent. He said to Feng Lie: "Bring this person here!" Feng Lie stood up and said a few words to the soldiers at the door, and the soldiers ran out. .
After a while, three soldiers escorted an unkempt man in. This man was thin, but he held his head high and had a sense of arrogance in his expression. But when they stepped into the meeting hall and saw Man Chong and Sun Guan sitting upright, their eyes shone with surprise!
After Qin Ge saw Li Bian's performance, he felt that this person was extraordinary and must have special characteristics and be able to sense people. Li Bian's eyes also converged. Due to Li Bian's relatively great reputation, many of the squire's sons recognized him, and his identity was confirmed.
Qin Ge looked at Li Bian, narrowed his eyes and said, "I won't beat around the bush. Did you bring me any useful information?"
Li Bian was stunned for a moment. According to common sense, Qin Ge should interrogate how he came out of the enemy camp and whether he was a spy? He was stunned and said: "Don't you doubt my identity?"
Qin Ge said calmly: "I just want to hear the information. I will decide whether it is true or false. Tell me about the situation in Lijia Town!"
Li Bian was silent for a moment. Although the lord of the Free Territory was young, he was definitely not a simple lord. Every move he made was held tightly in his hands. He cupped his fists and said, "The bandits in Black Wind Village are composed of five bandit forces. They had a total of 50,000 troops. After conquering Lijia Town, they used the town as a base and forcibly recruited 100,000 village warriors. They formed an army of 150,000 and swept across Lijia Town. Now they have raised their troops in Panshi Town and are preparing to dominate the eastern district of Mou County. Seven towns!" Qin Ge then asked a lot of questions, asking clearly about the geographical location of Lijia Town and the deployment of the army, and then waved his hand and said: "You can go down now!"
Li Bian was stunned and said: "Lord Qin, you have to save the people of Lijia Town! Those beasts burned, killed, raped and looted, and committed all kinds of evil. You must save them!" Seeing Qin Ge's expression a little indifferent, he He knelt down and begged. Although he was proud of his talent, his self-esteem was shattered in this troubled world!
Qin Ge narrowed his eyes and said: "I am going to launch an army to raid Lijia Town now! Wipe out the bandits in Heifeng Village!"
Li Bian was stunned for a long time and said: "Heifeng Village sent 100,000 bandits to attack Panshi Town, leaving 50,000 to garrison Lijia Town! I heard that the Free Leaders only have 10,000 soldiers available, this!"
Qin Ge grinned and said with a chuckle: "It's not that I underestimate those gangsters. Five thousand elite soldiers are enough to wipe out Lijia Town! Boning! I grant you the military command of Panshi Town. I will leave Zhao Jiangang and Qin Jiwu to assist you. It's up to you Lead two thousand Dongyue soldiers and recruit newly recruited Xiangyong to rush to the aid of Panshi Town. Remember that your mission is to hold them back and prevent them from taking Panshi Town. I will take care of other matters! Your sword is also You should take it out, otherwise everyone will think you are a weak scholar with no strength?" The old people in the free community laughed, while the new members of the free community looked confused. Isn’t Man Chong just a scholar?
Man Chong stepped out of the queue and cupped his fists: "Chong Chong takes orders!"
Qin Ge turned around and said to Feng Lie: "Gather five thousand Dongyue soldiers. We will set off after worshiping the sky! Soldiers are very fast!" All the generals in the field clasped their fists and accepted the order!
Xianchi is located on the east side of the Taishan school grounds. Qin Ge placed it here after the Qin family village moved there. Qin Ge never understood how to use this building, known as the White Tiger Holy Land. This was planned by the great elder for hundreds of years. of holy objects. Although I don’t know the public use of the White Tiger Holy Land, worshiping the White Tiger can obtain the blessing of the White Tiger, which can increase the strength of the troops during battle!
Qin Ge prepared silver cattle, pigs and sheep as required, and started the sacrifice under the auspices of Man Chong. Under the altar stood seven thousand Dongyue soldiers who were about to go out for battle. Among them are two thousand majestic soldiers, all wearing black scale armor. They are the elite of Dongyue soldiers, all bronze soldiers, holding sharp weapons like ferocious beasts!
Qin Ge stood in front of the White Tiger Holy Land, looked down at the seven thousand Dongyue soldiers and shouted: "Brothers! You have followed me from Coyote Valley and fought bloody battles all the way to now! Now that the territory has been established, I promise to ensure your stability. Life has also come true. However, disasters have struck, bandits have emerged, and wars have broken out throughout Taishan County and even the thirteen states in the world. If we want our homeland to stand in this bloody era, we must take up our weapons to defend it! I am willing to work with you to fight for freedom!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Sun Guan raised his war gun and led the entire army with a loud killing sound!
"Congratulations! Entering the military sacrifice ceremony and activating the White Tiger Soul. Since you are sacrificing a silver grade three animal, you have activated the silver grade White Tiger Blessing. It has been detected that you have participated in the military sacrifice of 7,000 troops. Please offer gold essence to the White Tiger Sacred Soul Sacrifice. Because It is detected that you have no gold essence, so you can use gold and silver instead. Depending on the number of soldiers, you need to pay forty-seven gold and five hundred and sixty-eight taels!"
When Qin Ge heard this, he almost wanted to rush up and smash the altar, damn you! The demand is so ruthless, almost fifty gold, and free access to ten days' rations for all refugees!
"Please submit it as soon as possible, otherwise the White Tiger Soul will sacrifice the souls of five hundred soldiers!"
Qin Ge was shocked and quickly took out the silver coins from the ancestral phoenix ring and piled them in front of the altar. The gold and silver instantly turned into nothingness, and a tiger-shaped shadow condensed in the void.
"Congratulations! You activated the White Tiger Soul! Under the protection of the White Tiger Soul, you gain the characteristic of speed, and the marching speed of your troops increases by 20%!"
"Activate the blood soul. Every time you kill five iron-level enemies or kill an iron-level soldier who has received protection, you will gain one point of blood soul. Each time you upgrade to a level, the number of blood souls will increase five times!"
Qin Ge's eyes widened. He was secretly cursing the Great Elder for being deceived. Now he realized that this is the correct way to use the White Tiger Holy Land. This is really a holy land of war. Only through war can you obtain the blood soul. Then activate the White Tiger Holy Land.
Qin Ge raised his broken teeth and shouted: "For freedom!" Everyone raised their troops and shouted: "For freedom!" At this moment, whether it was the aboriginal soldiers of the Free Territory or the veteran soldiers of the Free Army such as the rifle butts, they were filled with tears. The people who were visiting from far outside the altar were also very excited and shouted for freedom!
Mandala squinted his eyes and murmured: "For freedom! Is this a coincidence or intentional?"
