The constant barking of dogs in his ears made Chen Qiong feel a murderous intention in his heart.

This is a powerful gentry family that owns the most land in Thanh Hoa City. In the past, when Chen Qiong, a member of the Chen Dynasty royal family, served as the city lord, there were often frictions.

But Chen Qiong can only do nothing about it.

Chen Qiong is lucky to be able to serve as the lord of Qinghua City as a member of the royal family.

It’s great to work for Daming!

After Chen Qiong went through a complicated mental journey, she held the bunch of embroidered spring knives that had just been taken out of the oil drum, and raised a ferocious and evil smile at the corner of her mouth.

The long knife swung forward.

"His money cellar is under the dry well in the backyard, and there are more than 13,700 acres of fertile land outside the city."

A group of royal guards led the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers and directly broke open the closed door.

In front of the head are the officers and soldiers holding shields, followed by the officers and soldiers holding spears, between the people are the officers and soldiers holding crossbows, and finally the soldiers holding the line.

Chen Qiong held her head high, tiptoed gracefully across the threshold stone, and walked into the richest family in Thanh Hoa City.

Several large black dogs, perhaps because of the murderous intent of the Ming army, were forced to lie on the ground, trembling fearfully, and their tails wagging cautiously.

Chen Qiong's eyes darkened, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand looked down.

A few dogs barked, and a smell of blood spread.

The Ming army was already shouting warnings, but they could not understand the dialect of the Annan people, but this did not prevent them from identifying that the anger on the faces of these Annan people with swords and guns in their hands was directed at them.

Swish swish swish.

Dong Dong.

Crossbow arrows were fired one after another, taking away every resister who dared to stand in front of the Ming army.

Those dispatched today are all Jingwei officers and soldiers stationed in Yingtian City.

These troops who took turns entering the capital to guard the capital, defend the imperial city, and ensure the safety of the Ming Emperor had a combat effectiveness and cooperation that could be unparalleled in the world during the Hongwu Year.

The shield soldiers blocked the resistance of this family, the red tassel spears were retracted and released simultaneously, and the strong crossbows were replenished. Even if the enemy in front of them fell, they would be hit by the swordsmen at the end of the formation.

This is the purest and most efficient way of killing people in the Ming Dynasty.

When the officers and soldiers in the dry well in the backyard received the news that they had found countless gold and silver coins, all the Ming soldiers looked at Chen Qiong, who was also killed and covered in blood, with an added sense of recognition.

This man is a friend of Daming.

As long as he is a friend of Daming, then this person is also their friend.

Therefore, the captain in the army asked his clerk to write down Chen Qiong's name in the credit book for this killing.

Seeing her name being placed on the top line of the credit book, Chen Qiong wrapped her sleeves and wiped the blood stains on her cheeks.

He asked in his fluent Jianghuai Mandarin: "Can I also record merit?"

The captain looked at Chen Qiong indifferently, feeling that this person's question was somewhat inexplicable, but thinking that the other party was under the order of supervising the country, he could only patiently explain: "You are wearing the clothes of our Ming Dynasty, speaking the official dialect of Ming Dynasty, using

Wearing the embroidered spring knife of Jinyiwei, the Ming Dynasty will certainly not miss you for the contribution you have made."

Chen Qiong was filled with joy, her eyes were shining brightly and she said: "So, I am now a Mingren!"

"Mingren?" The captain looked Chen Qiong up and down, and then hummed twice: "You have to send your name to the island in Xuanwu Lake."

It turns out that I can’t be considered a wise person now.

Chen Qiong was a little disappointed and frustrated. He knew the Xuanwu Lake in the north of Yingtian City. It was an important royal land. There was a special place on the island to store the entire Daming Fish Scale Register and the population register.

After a brief period of frustration, Chen Qiong regained his energy, looked at the Ming army in front of him with his head held high, and then pointed at a house not far away with his sword.

"That family is more guilty!"

Although he is not yet a Ming Dynasty person, the Annan people are completely incompetent. From the moment he raised the Ming Xiuchun knife and slashed the neck of his fellow Annan people, Chen Qiong is no longer an Annan person.

It was just an inexplicable excitement, but it couldn't help but surge up from the bottom of Chen Qiong's heart.

Even he himself didn't notice that his eyes were blood red at this moment.

"Are you really not afraid of destroying this person?"

On the high floor of the city lord's palace, Zhu Gaochi put his hands in his sleeves, standing by the window and looking at Qinghua City, where killings were everywhere.

All over the city, countless officers and soldiers, under the command of Chen Qiong, rushed like wolves and tigers into the magnificent houses.

Rivers of blood flowed.

Corpses everywhere.

Even the boxes of gold and silver hidden in a cesspool in the west of the city were searched out by Chen Qiong, who had gone completely crazy and fell into a frenzy.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes are clear, but he can't get close to him at all. He can only look up at him from a distance with a low posture.

And Zhu Yunxi, who is standing on a high-rise building, makes people feel that he is a being that others do not dare to climb.

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi was watching Qinghua City calmly. Because of Chen Qiong's guidance, no family could escape the attack.

The people who were left behind were already walking towards the main street in front of the City Lord's Mansion with their families. The first person to arrive knelt in front of the City Lord's Mansion in fear.

"We need someone who can clean up Cochin Road." Zhu Yunxi said silently.

Zhu Gaochi frowned and said: "However, this is not the best choice. Dividing them is the safest way."

Zhu Yunxi looked back at Zhu Gaochi and smiled slightly: "We don't have much time to stay in Annan, so everything must be accelerated."

Zhu Gaochi hummed, obviously still retaining his own opinions on this issue. He changed his mind and said, "How did you decide that he would agree to be a sinner in Annan, a lackey of the Ming Dynasty, and kill Annan people for the Ming Dynasty?"

"I'm not sure." Zhu Yunxi confessed very bachelorly and said with a smile: "If Chen Qiong doesn't agree, then the family he killed first will be doing it now."

Zhu Gaochi shrank his head for no reason.

He suddenly felt that Chen Qiong was really a pitiful person. Not only did he have no choice, but the meaning of his existence was not irreplaceable.

But soon, Zhu Gaochi put away his compassion.

For the Ming Dynasty, especially for the Southern Expedition this time, Brother Xi's choice was not at all wrong.

So Zhu Gaochi said simply: "So after Chen Qiong kills everyone here in Qinghua City and confiscates all the gold, silver, money, and land, what are you going to do with him?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly and looked at Zhu Gaochi with a deep look: "Don't you ask me how I will arrange the capture of Qinghua City?"

Zhu Gaochi curled his lips and waved his hand nonchalantly and patted the window sill: "Gold and silver will naturally be circulated in Annan to buy things from the people. The grain stored in the homes of the powerful gentry and the grain harvested from the fields will naturally be given away.

The benevolent government belongs to the people of Qinghua City. The land of those powerful and gentry people, this time I asked Marquis Jingchuan and others to honor the deal with you first."

Money is used for circulation to buy things that Ming Dynasty needs.

The grain belongs to the people of Annan, and the Ming Dynasty gains the hearts of the people.

The land is owned by the powerful people of the Ming Dynasty, and the domestic land replacement transaction is completed.

All arrangements are perfect, the only thing that needs to be paid is to indulge Chen Qiong, who can no longer be regarded as an Annan, and lead the Ming army to kill his former compatriots.

The Ming Dynasty will give him a generous reward to reward his loyalty and dedication to the Ming Dynasty.

All in all, the only ones who did not benefit in the end were the dead Annan dignitaries and gentry.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi didn't give a different answer, Zhu Gaochi smiled helplessly: "So, now should you tell me how you plan to arrange for Chen Qiong."

Zhu Yunxi asked: "What do you think is our biggest problem now?"

"Has he been kidnapped by his relative Li Jili and taken to Chen Hao in the south?"

Zhu Gaochi spoke immediately, shook his head and said: "Young man Chen Hao may still be regarded as a lord of integrity, but now he is also old, but he is extremely blasphemous, so there is nothing to worry about.

When Li Jili heard about the arrival of the Ming Dynasty, he looted Daluo City and took Chen Hao to flee to the south. Qinghua City was also looted by them, which shows that Li Jili did this not only in Qinghua City.

The same thing has been done in other places."

Zhu Yunxi tilted his head and looked at Zhu Gaochi: "So, how do you evaluate Li Jili?"

Zhu Gaochi blurted out without thinking: "Incompetent use, short-sightedness, and two ends will not accomplish anything."

"One is nothing to worry about, and the other is nothing to accomplish." Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Gaochi who evaluated Chen Hao and Li Jili, and said with a smile: "So, the south is not an issue that we need to carefully consider at the moment. To the north, in Daluo City

Chen Yuandan, who commanded the remaining troops of Annan and organized Annan officers and soldiers outside Lang Son Pass to resist the general's conquest, is what we need to deal with most at the moment."

"Chen Yuandan is a very smart person."

Prince Yan of the Ming Dynasty finally gave a positive evaluation in this review of Annan.

Zhu Gaochi's brows were furrowed, but he still showed appreciation.

He said calmly: "Since we were outside Jianchang City, we may have caught Chen Yuandan's attention. He left Jianchang City and other four empty cities. I think he really hopes that we can enter the city and occupy it.<

/p>

As long as we choose to capture these four empty cities, we must divide our troops and garrison them. After all, in our opinion, this is already the Jiaozhi Road of the Ming Dynasty, and we need to invest in governance.

In this way, our combatable troops will be reduced invisibly. Even if Chen Yuandan used a few empty cities to hold us back from continuing to Daluo City, he can use all his strength on Langshan Pass to resist Daluo City.

The general's attack."

Zhu Yunxi nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

Zhu Gaochi continued: "In fact, Chen Yuandan, as a Situ of the Annan Chen Dynasty, was able to stabilize the situation in Daluo City when Chen Hao was kidnapped by Li Jili, and he was able to unite the officials and the army in the city.
To be continued...
