After Ma Long and his three thousand main force were destroyed, Renshou County was quickly captured by the Song army. The families and supporters of the rebels in the county were massacred by the Song army.
Lu Yu wanted to regard this county as a reward for the soldiers of the Song Army.
He allowed them to burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of crimes wantonly, as a means to relieve physical and mental stress and win the morale of the army. The soldiers of the Song Army excitedly shouted to thank their general, and then rushed into the city to loot, burn and kill. A county town was quickly reduced to Purgatory.
This was not only a reward for the Song soldiers, but also a means to deter the rest of the rebels.
He told them through massacre that if they dared to resist the imperial court, this would be their fate.
Kneel down obediently and let you be beaten and scolded without fighting back, carry out agricultural production honestly, and obediently hand over the wealth you have accumulated for the enjoyment of the superior gentlemen. This is the meaning of your life.
Cows and horses have no other value. The only value is the value of being exploited and oppressed. Through being exploited and oppressed, they shape the noble quality of life of the upper class.
Resist?
This is the end!
Lu? Looking at the burning Renshou County, his heart was filled with twisted pleasure.
As a general, he certainly had privileges. In order to please him, some of his subordinates selected some pretty women and presented them to him for him to enjoy.
So while the soldiers of the Song Army were burning, killing, and looting in the city, he was also enjoying the women dedicated to him in the military tent.
Ten thousand Song troops continued their atrocities for three days and nights. More than 80,000 family members and followers of the rebels in the city were massacred. In the end, only more than a thousand people were left alive.
The reason for living is not because the Song army is benevolent, but because the Song army is too tired from burning, killing and looting. They need someone to help them dig holes and bury the piles of broken corpses to prevent the corpses from rotting and the plague from spreading.
While the city was being massacred in Renshou County, the war in Guiping County also reached its final moments.
Without the pressure of Malong's main force, the armed forces of thirteen landlords and wealthy families gained the upper hand and quickly launched a counterattack, defeating more than a thousand rebels who stayed to continue fighting.
More than 600 people were killed, and more than 500 people were captured, and then brutally killed by these landlords and wealthy people.
Those who were hanged, those who were quartered, and so on.
Peasants from the local area who were encouraged to cooperate with the rebels were also picked out and killed in public as a warning to others.
At this point, the Longzhou uprising army was completely wiped out and the uprising failed.
In the next few days, Lu Xi successively regained the counties occupied by the rebels, wiped out all the remaining rebels, and completely pacified Longzhou.
At this moment, Longzhou has lost more than 100,000 people after being devastated before and after. The densely populated area that was originally considered a good place has been devastated by this war and has become a hell on earth.
The permanent residents fled and died, as if there were ten rooms and nine empty rooms.
But because of this, a large amount of unowned land has been vacated throughout Longzhou, and some of the land is very good and belongs to the first class.
Originally, according to common practice, in order to appease the people, these lands would be redistributed and distributed to local civilians to resume production, so that they could continue to work as cattle and horses with peace of mind, but now the situation is quite special.
Because most of the landlords and wealthy people were killed by the Malong rebels, the thirteen landlords and wealthy families in Guiping became one of the few survivors. They dedicated their property to Lu Yu and bribed him, hoping that Lu Yu could help them.
The Thirteen Families of Guiping took a fancy to the ownerless land in Longzhou, hoping to obtain these lands to make up for the family's losses in the war, which was considered a negligible compensation.
The bribes of large amounts of money and goods made Lu He very happy, so Lu He decided to help these thirteen companies operate.
The bureaucrats in Longzhou were basically killed by the rebels. At present, Lu is in charge of the affairs of Longzhou. So after one operation, most of the fertile and fertile land that was vacant was handed over to the thirteen Guiping families by Lu to be divided up.
These thirteen landowners had some ideas. They realized the principle of finding wealth through danger, discovered a way to obtain wealth from danger, and in one fell swoop, they were upgraded from county-level tycoons to state-level tycoons, and they also took advantage of the land. Wire.
Lu Xi's immediate superior is Wu Lin, the current Optimus Prime of the Song Dynasty. With them on this line, do they still need to doubt their future wealth?
Of course, in return, they not only gave Lu He a large amount of property at once, but also presented him with several beautiful beauties to keep him company, making Lu He satisfied.
Not only that, you don’t have to interfere with the harvest of these lands in the future, but filial piety during festivals, offerings when encountering problems, etc. are indispensable.
The powerful can eat meat, but the protective umbrella cannot be left with nothing, otherwise the umbrella will not be able to lift and it will not be able to block wind and rain.
Therefore, they need to continue to provide more benefits to Lu He, even fixed shares, and dedicate the wealth gained from operations to Lu He, so as to maintain this hard-won upper-level route.
The Thirteen Guiping families took advantage of the troubled times to make a fortune and expand their family business. In the process, Lu Yu got obviously more.
During the sage's time after the hard battle with the woman, Lu Yu used a brief period of clarity to think about the next thing.
Since so many benefits can be achieved in Longzhou through war, doesn't it mean that more such things can be continued in the future?
Then after the war is over and the rebellion is put down, won't he be the uncrowned king of this area and a super rich man with a huge fortune?
Those civil servants and scholars looked down upon him every day, but that didn't matter. As long as he looked down upon himself, he would eventually turn around.
and……
Sure enough, war is a business.
Lu? laughed loudly, feeling that he was actually quite business-minded, and he could work more in this direction in the future.
If the imperial court wants me to work hard, it must give me some benefit. Otherwise, I will always lead the army to charge into battle but get no benefit at all. This is too unfair.
This is what the court owes me, this is what I deserve.
After determining these two key points, Lu started taking action without any psychological burden.
After pacifying Longzhou, Lu went to the court to request a reward, and then launched an attack on Meizhou according to the planned plan.
The initial number of the Meizhou Uprising Army was not too large, about 3,000 people, and the number of people gathered was more than 30,000. However, the number of people increased very quickly. By the time Lu was about to launch an attack on Meizhou, the number of the Meizhou Uprising Army had It has exceeded 5,000, with more than 60,000 people gathered, and the momentum is huge.
Yan Fei, the leader of the Meizhou Uprising Army, was born as a rich farmer. Because his family offended a large local family, he became a victim during the period when the court was most aggressive in collecting taxes.
The Yan family's property was almost completely taken away by the big family in collusion with the government. His father was angry to death, and his mother committed suicide. His younger brother and his family were beaten to death by the whole family because they were angry and protested against the government's atrocities. His wife died of fright, leaving only a three-year-old child. The son is waiting to be fed.
A harmonious and happy family with no worries about hunger was suddenly shattered, and Yan Fei was greatly stimulated.
He gave his son, who was waiting to be fed, to a farm family to raise. He spent the last of his wealth, summoned more than thirty dead men, and killed everyone in the wealthy family in one night.
Then he fled into the countryside, raised a rebel flag, and gathered peasants whose wives and children had been taxed to resist. It only took him five days to counterattack back to the county seat, and arrested and hanged the famous county magistrate who broke his family. , and then shattered into ashes.
All the officials and officials in the entire county were wiped out by Yan Fei and his rebel army. No one was left alive because they were all bastards.
After the revenge was over, Yan Fei also knew that he could not go back, there was no way out, he could only go to the dark side.
He gave up everything and decided to rebel to the end and try to explain the unfair treatment he suffered.
If the official doesn't give him an explanation, he will explain it to himself. No one can rely on him, not the official!
