From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 55: Mop up and pull up

A sad and pitiful cry sounded over the village of Semu. Originally, with Richard, who felt that the future was gloomy, and was likely to be a cannon fodder, the Han soldiers from the government were happily carrying a knife and escorting a row of young men with Semu. Walking out of the village, behind the young man, is a row of camels transporting goods.

   Horses are a rare thing in the Western Regions, but camels are very common, especially the Semu indigenous people, who are very good at domesticating camels. This is mainly due to the sandy environment of the Western Regions.

However, the Han army in the Tang Dynasty was not good at riding camels to fight, so camels were never regarded as strategic materials, and the charge speed of camels was far less than that of war horses. After the Tang Dynasty ruled the Western Regions, camels were always used as ordinary means of transportation. meat.

   The camel's back is naturally the grain and grass looted from the Semu village. Of course, Richard's explanation is that the food is used for their relatives, that is, the strong men of Semu who are forced to recruit.

  It’s just that the amount of these grains far exceeds the rations needed by the young men of Semu...

   Naturally, the extra amount is the reward of the more than 800 officials who drop soldiers.

   These Semu villages don’t have much coins, but there is still a lot of food, because the taxes collected by the Dashi Town government are mainly based on food.

   Dashi Town can feed thousands of townspeople, but the surrounding villages of Semu people have made great efforts.

  Since the Semuren villages are not far from each other and Dashi Town is not far away, Richard's raid team quickly rushed into the next village.

Regarding the thousands of heavily armed Han soldiers like Richard, the Semu villages can't even mention the courage to resist. They have been ruled by the Han government of Datang for too long, and those with spine will not stay here for a long time. Just flee to the west and join the tribes of Semu people on their own.

   Most of the Semu people who stayed under the rule of Dashi Town were actually greedy for the protection of the military power of the Tang court, and would rather bear taxes that were much heavier than the Han people and never leave.

   After all, compared with the cannibalistic green skin, the brutal rule of the Han people still seems acceptable. As long as they are alive, other factors are nothing...

Due to the obstruction of traffic and communications in this era, the Semuren village, which has very little contact with the government of Dashi Town, did not know that Li Cha was born in Dashi Town. Naturally, he was unprepared. Richard was arrested one by one by the strong men, plundering food and supplies... …

   So, Richard's name spread quickly in the Semuren villages around Dashi Town, and the spread was extremely hot!

   The banner of General Daming is also well-known throughout Dashi Town!

   While Richard was busy with Lasemos, Lijiacun had been built by Song Zhicheng into a temporary base for Richard.

   When Song Zhicheng learned that Richard had reversed, he calmly began to appease Lijiacun, while Hao Jianren was scared to death and tried to escape from Lijiacun!

   Naturally, Song Zhicheng led the village patrol team and captured it on the spot...

   After Li Cha learned of Hao Jianren's performance, he immediately deprived him of his rights, and gave Hao Jianren a ‘political, ideological, and moral quality’ education.

Under Xueliang’s knife, Hao Jianren publicly swore to the heavens and the earth that he would only be loyal to Richard Richard in his life, and he wrote a letter in his own hand, and was sent by Richard to the Hao family in Gaoxiang County, that is, Hao Jianren’s father... …

   The Hao family belonged to a gentry in Gaoxiang County. If they could be tied to their own chariot, they would undoubtedly serve as an example!

   As for how Hao Jianren his old man would feel after receiving this rebellious son's autograph letter, it is not Richard's concern.

   Now he is not capable of attacking Gaoxiang County, instead he has to guard against Gaoxiang County's repression. Naturally, the Hao family could not admit that letter. Richard forced Hao Jianren to write a letter, just to make more preparations for the future.

   also made Hao Jianren stay in Lijiacun desperately!

   Now Richard is weak, and Babu Duo pulls some people into his chariot. It doesn't matter who he is, he can make up the number!

After Hao Jianren showed his loyalty, although he was deprived of his original rights, he was also arranged as Song Zhicheng’s deputy. There was no way. Li Cha was really short of people. As Hao Jianren who had experience in managing a village, of course Can't let it go.

   After Qian Sen saw Hao Jianren's end, he didn't need Richard to coerce and tempt him, so he took the initiative to surrender.

   He is also an epiphany. Anyway, he has fallen into the wolf's den, and he has been labelled as Richard's influence. It is estimated that there will be no good fruits when he returns to Dashi Town, and he can't come up with a decent nomination...

  Instead of doing this, it’s better to follow Richard to the end. At any rate, you can still get enough to eat and get warm, isn’t it?

   Qian Sen himself is just an ordinary person. He can be a patrol battalion, and he is a little capable himself. Qian Sen's greatest ability is not to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but to read!

   This kind of ability makes Richard overjoyed, he now lacks this kind of word-recognizing subordinates!

   In the war, Richard has cannon fodder and systematic soldiers as the backbone ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ Richard is in short supply for management personnel. When a managerial staff, he must at least be able to read and understand official documents, and write a notice.

   Not surprisingly, Qian Sen, who took the initiative to show his loyalty, was also assigned a position by Richard to be responsible for propagating various ‘policies’ of Richard.

   served as Song Zhicheng's deputy on weekdays.

Now Song Zhicheng has become Richard’s logistical steward. The young men arrested from the Semu village have been sent to Lijia Village for supervision. The looted grain, grass and materials are also placed in Lijia Village. All this requires Song Zhicheng to take care of. Naturally, he alone is far from enough!

Therefore, Hao Jianren and Qian Sen, the two deputies, were also busy with their feet on the ground, but they were very satisfied that they did not have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. They also worked very seriously, for fear that Richard would find someone to throw himself on the battlefield. Fooled for cannon fodder...

   In addition, the biggest task of Lijiacun is to build siege equipment!

   In the Semu Village, Richard, besides pulling the strong and strong, also searched for all Semu artisans, carpenters, blacksmiths and stonemasons, etc., as long as they are skilled, even if they are only apprentices!

   Richard's promise of using a knife and a full meal forced these craftsmen to build a simple siege ladder for themselves.

   The structure of the siege ladder is not complicated, but it is not technically difficult. With the help of the craftsmen and the strong men who were pulled over, Richard only took four days to build a siege ladder that could be used by a thousand people!

   The number of people is still quite powerful, even if these people basically have no subjective initiative...

   Richard doesn't pay wages, and even the food is taken from their own village. It's only strange that these gangsters are willing to do so!

   It's a pity that the situation is stronger than that of people. In front of the knife, this group of sturdy people dare not disobey Richard's orders.
