Chapter 302: The Thunder Strikes Out!
The gunshot was heard by neither side.
First of all, it was the Xu family, who had suffered some kind of madness. With the promise of the head of the Xu family, they actually took out the flintlock guns.
But pulling out a flintlock is one thing, daring to shoot is another.
However, things are now beyond his expectations.
Someone fired, it seemed someone from their side, fired at the other side.
As a result, things have changed now.
Li Xiao was also slightly taken aback.
Since the opponent is shooting, he can't help it. For the alliance formed by such a powerful family, he has always been quite a headache, hindering his reform.
Li Xiao has always wanted to take the destruction of one family as a model, so that the rest of the work can be carried out.
Since the Xu family fired, it was to shoot him.
"Destroyed! Don't hurt innocent people."
Li Xiao waved his hand and sentenced the Xu family to death.
"Kill! Destroy the Xu family, don't hurt innocent people!"
Chang Yingwu gave a loud shout and led the cavalry to attack.
A thousand days of military training can be used in a short time!
He secretly trained soldiers in the Flowing Water Manor arranged by Li Xiao.
The main thing these soldiers accept is the use of firearms, and everyone's marksmanship is very superb.
Most importantly, they were no longer carrying flintlocks, but automatic rifles.
The difference between the two is like a world of difference.
For example, if you take 1000 people with flintlock guns and deal with an automatic rifle force of 100 people, that is, deliver food, it will collapse in an instant.
What's more, Li Xiao's unit has also conducted modern shooting training.
bang bang bang-
The battlefield was chaotic, gunshots continued to ring out, and gunpowder smoke filled the air.
Li Xiao's cavalry of 1000 men galloped and charged.
As for those people, they have already fled away.
They didn't work for the Xu family at all, but the Xu family had great power in the local area and had the right to speak, so they pulled these ordinary people to amplify their momentum and let the other party throw their hands at them.
But if their lives were really in danger, these people would not really work for the Xu family, they would be the first to escape.
The battlefield was empty, and the rest of the people were all members of the Xu family.
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Without knowing the strength of the opponent, they actually started to resist with flintlock guns.
From their point of view, the opponent is a gun, and they will die if they are shot, and they are also holding a gun, and they will die if they are shot.
That being the case, what is there to be afraid of, just do it!
Although this battle started out of nowhere, but since it started, there is no way to retreat.
But what they don't know is that guns are different from guns.
The two firearms are 300 years apart in history.
It was a one-sided battle. As the flames continued to bloom in the dust, dense bullets passed through the crowd and shot at the opponent's chest.
Soon, the members of the Xu family completely collapsed and fled in all directions.
An hour later.
End the fight.
Where Xujia Village fought, the ground was covered in blood and was in a mess.
Of the [-] members of the Xu family who participated in the battle, [-]% were wiped out, and all the remaining people in the villa were suppressed.
"horrible"
"The Xu family was destroyed just like that?"
"Who are these people? This is too powerful."
"I don't know either. The Xu family said they were robbers, but they don't look like it. How can there be such a powerful robber?"
The people who secretly observed the situation here from afar saw this scene and couldn't help talking in low voices.
Obviously, the battle that happened just now was too shocking.
The mighty Xu family was crushed to death like an ant in an instant.
The Patriarch of the Xu family was captured alive by soldiers and escorted to Li Xiao.
"Let our Xu family go, we didn't fire the gun just now. If you don't believe me, you can ask."
"It must be that person, the one who gave us the gun. Master Guoshi, my Xu family is willing to take the crime and do meritorious service to help you arrest this person."
The Patriarch of the Xu family begged for mercy as soon as he saw Li Xiao, and explained the situation just now, the Xu family did not fire the first shot.
"It doesn't matter whether your Xu family opened it or not."
Li Xiao waved his hand.
Chang Yingwu on the side understood what he meant, aimed his gun at the Patriarch of the Xu family, and then announced the end of the Xu family with a bang.
"This is the fate of rebelling against the imperial court!"
Li Xiao looked at the head of the dormitory and said, "Zhang Yang, do you know what to do next?"
The destruction of the Xu family meant that Li Xiao could directly take their land into his pocket without paying compensation, and it would be easier to land in the shed area and take control of it.
The era when the gentry and landlords took control of the governing power below must come to an end.
The district head named Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said: "National Teacher, I know what to do to confiscate the house, collect the land, and hand it over to the imperial court. People in his family will be punished as rebellion. The males will be assigned to the frontier, and the females will be assigned to the Jiaofang Secretary. The district directly handed over the local jurisdiction, the land was re-planned, and then village enterprises started to be established, leading the villagers to become rich."
Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, you have learned well. Then I will leave it to you. I will arrange 50 people to help you. In addition, I will publicize this matter and let everyone know that the end of disobedience to the imperial court is death. One!"
Zhang Yang cupped his hands: "Yes! My lord! I will definitely do it."
In this way, Li Xiao left 50 people to Zhang Yang to handle the matter here.
He took the troops and went to the next place.
"Patriarch, it seems that things are not going well here."
Li Xiao led the troops and galloped very fast. In less than an hour, they were about to reach the next location. On the way, Chang Yingwu rode on a horse, looked at Li Xiao and said.
"Haha, it will go well after you come."
Li Xiao greeted and said: "Chang Yingwu, you are still so reliable. The so-called mules or horses come out for a walk. I saw you today. The quality of the army trained for you is very good. I am very satisfied. It seems that you have had a lot of money this year. suffering."
Just now Li Xiao witnessed Chang Yingwu organizing the army to fight with his own eyes. You must know that Li Xiao just gave Chang Yingwu a copy of the "Battle Manual" before leaving, but it is impossible to train like this without talent and hard work.
The way of fighting just now has departed from the ancient way of fighting in formation, but a modern way of fighting, destroying all the opponents, and no one on their side was killed.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that the opponent's combat power is too stretched.
Chang Yingwu cupped his hands: "This is the job of the subordinates. I was too nervous before, whether the soldiers were just talking about it on paper, but seeing it today, the training was not in vain. However, what surprised the subordinates was that the powerful family here actually They even have flintlock guns, I don't know how they got them."
Li Xiao rode on a horse and smiled slightly: "During the time I came to Nanjing, many things happened. This flintlock gun was made by Beiping craftsmen. As long as you find a craftsman and coerce you, you can get the flintlock gun." The method is nothing unusual, the leak of the flintlock is within my expectation."
Chang Yingwu said: "Isn't it necessary to guard against it, otherwise it would not be a good thing to let the flintlock go 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: "That's right, automatic rifles and strong flintlock guns are not even a single star. Patriarch, my subordinates admire you very much. You can develop such a magical weapon, which is enough to sweep the overseas world. If your majesty learns about this, you will be delighted." Ruokang, 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 hide this matter before, His Majesty didn't know about it, so you quickly sent a few people to report this matter to the Supreme Emperor, so that the Supreme Emperor Also happy."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has a hundred trust in himself now, since this matter has come out, he must be let know.
In this way, Chang Yingwu immediately dispatched several soldiers to report the matter to the capital, and Li Xiao also wrote a letter in his own hand and asked him to take it with him.
An hour later, Li Xiao arrived at the next "forced demolition point".
As soon as the army arrived, the local tyrants immediately gave up, and Li Xiao did whatever he wanted, as obedient as his son.
"Master National Teacher, from now on, my Zhang family will follow the lead of the National Teacher!"
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 during the Thunderstorm talks, but how could such an alliance be stable? After a series of operations by Li Xiao in the past few months, plus asking around, the Zhang family has realized that the national division does not seem to be a small group of them. Small families can resist, even if all the families really work together, success is another matter.
There is an old saying in China that those who know current affairs are brilliant.
Whether it's true or false, the Patriarch Zhang's superficial skills are very good, so that Li Xiao can't find any faults.
"That's right, it's good that you understand, then I won't stay here, this head of the dormitory represents the will of the national teacher, you should cooperate well!"
After Li Xiao gave the local dormitory head the authority and the right to speak, he got up and left.
"National teacher, please go slowly, there are some local products here, don't dislike it."
The Patriarch of the Zhang Family saw them off in person, and even gave Li Xiao some souvenirs before leaving.
Li Xiao smiled and said: "You, you really know the current affairs, if that Xu family is like you, how could it be destroyed by our national teacher?"
Hearing this, the head of the Zhang family broke out in a cold sweat.
The Xu family in the west of Zhenjiang Lake was wiped out? ? ?
This frightened him for a while.
And at night, the Patriarch of the Zhang family inquired about the news, and when he learned that the Xu family had really been destroyed, he was afraid for a while. Fortunately, he was rational and did not really oppose the national teacher.
Otherwise, it will be the fate of the Xu family.
Fifty flintlock guns are completely vulnerable to the troops of the National Teacher.
There were three hundred members of Xu's family, and in the end they all ended up dead, caught and arrested, and ended miserably.
Thunderstorm talks, to hell with alliances.
That night, the Patriarch of the Zhang family asked the children of the family to destroy the fifty flintlock guns sent by "Mr. Liang", so as not to harm himself!
After Li Xiao left, the Zhang family here also tried their best to cooperate with the work of the head of the dormitory, and the dormitory office soon landed and started construction.
In this way, along the way, the families began to surrender one after another.
at the same time,
Not in a villa in Annan.
At this time, Lan Bin, the mastermind of the dark web, was listening to the news from his subordinates.
"The head of the family is in trouble. All the flintlock guns we handed out have failed to fire. Only the Xu family in Zhenjiang dared to take out their guns to resist. It was us who shot in private, which led to the battle. As a result, this trash of the Xu family, even that Li Xiao No one was hurt, the whole army was wiped out, and the families under him were safe and timid, and no one dared to come out to resist."
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 was more like his father Lan Yu than the domineering Lan Nao'er back then. The breath is heavy and oppressive.
However, Lan Bin's personality is not as heroic as it appears on the surface, but rather aloof and arrogant, with an air of self-admiration.
Lan Bin said angrily: "Are those families in Nanjing city useless? I worked so hard to build flintlock guns for them. I don't even have the guts to make trouble. The agreed alliance, if one family has an accident, let's work together to help each other. What about their promise!! Are you really going to sit and wait for Li Xiao to complete the reform??? Waste, waste!"
Zhu Yunxi who was on the side said: "Hey, cousin, don't be angry. I have already said that these families have their own ghosts, and it is impossible to unite. Once things change, they will focus on protecting themselves. How can it be true? Going to fight the imperial court?"
It was Lan Bin who came up with this idea at first, but 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, and 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, so he looked at Zhu Yuntong.
During this period of time, he noticed that his cousin seemed to be very smart and had his own opinions, and he gradually listened to his ideas in everything.
"Don't rush."
Zhu Yuntong shook his head, looked at the servant who came forward to report the letter, and said, "National teacher Li Xiao, did you show anything?"
The subordinate reported: "It is true. The dog's gun is even more powerful, and the flintlock gun is no match for it. This is also the reason why families around the world are frightened. The flintlock gun is strong, but compared with that kind of gun , it’s far away.”
Zhu Yuntong: "What gun??"
The servant shook his head: "I don't know either. It can be fired continuously, and its power and range are far from comparable to flintlock guns."
"It turns out that there are hole cards, and Li Xiao's hole cards are really endless!"
Zhu Yuntong narrowed his eyes slightly, and after hesitating for a while, he looked at Lan Bin and said, "Cousin, next I decided to change the previous strategy, we will change the base to the south. But before that, we have to let the previous Move the layout, let Li Xiao spend time to solve it, so they have no time to care about him! Change the place, occupying the land is king! Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to defeat Li Xiao, but we have a big advantage !"
Lan Bin said: "What advantage?"
Zhu Yun said: "We are still young, even younger than Li Xiao. Let's endure, endure. Li Xiao's achievements are great, and there will always be a day when he will be suspected. Waiting for the Supreme Emperor and the emperor will die. Before they leave, they will definitely suspect Li Xiao." , Get rid of him. After the two people who supported 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 be like Sima Yi, and beat Li Xiao to death!"
Following Zhu Yuntong's plan and the layout of Lanbin everywhere, riots began ahead of schedule.
the other side.
While Li Xiao was busy with demolition, a pile of news reached Li Xiao's ears.
"Patriarch, civil uprisings have occurred in many places, gunshots have taken place, and local government offices or county offices have been occupied. The news of these rebellions is being transmitted to the capital."
Liu Dakai galloped on a fast horse and delivered the news to Li Xiao.
"What? Civil uprisings in many places? Where are they?"
"Nanjing didn't, but mainly because of riots in Hanzhong, Annan, and Guangxi."
Li Xiao asked in a little surprise, the civil uprisings that may have occurred in Nanjing City have been suppressed, but riots have occurred in other places.
This is intentional, for what purpose?
After thinking for a long time, Li Xiao couldn't come up with a reason.
"Forget it, if you can't think of it, don't think about it, and do the things in front of you first!"
the other side.
The capital, the imperial palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang also received news from Li Xiao and other places.
"What??? Li Xiao has developed a new gadget?" (End of this chapter)
