I am not Song Qinzong

With the convenience of his status, the first generation of the Chen family head ordered that all mountain people who sell prey, fur, medicinal materials, wood, etc. can only sell to the Chen family, and buy salt, cloth, ironware, etc., can also only go to the Chen family.

It is precisely by controlling the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these mountain people that the Chen family has been earning a lot of money. Up to now, it has been able to support more than two thousand strong family members.

These more than a thousand people have leather armor, and their swords, guns, bows and crossbows are also excellent, not only in Yongding County, but also in Guangnan West Road, they are also a force that cannot be ignored.

But at this moment, Chen Fang, the head of the Chen family and the current native official, only frowned.

Not only him, the Chen family gathered in the ancestral hall were either worried or excited.

Five days ago, the imperial court sent an envoy to send a letter asking Chen Fang to report to Yongding County.

Originally, the native officials were also appointed by the imperial court, so it was natural for them to go to the county to report on their duties, but Chen Fang never took the imperial court seriously, and this order was strange again. How could he easily risk himself alone?

After sending someone to inquire about the details, Chen Fang was in a bad mood.

The imperial army has already entered the county, and plans to start reforming the land and returning it to the local people.

The content is to remove the official positions inherited by the Chen family from generation to generation, and to demolish and relocate the Chen family to separate places. As for the fields and houses of the Chen family, they must be distributed to buy people's hearts.

Is this okay?

Chen Convenience had to have his head pinched by the door to agree to this laoshizi's reformation!

"Everyone, the imperial court has forgotten the merits of the ancestors of the Chen family, and turned back on what they said. They want to accept my official position in the Chen family, split up my Chen family, and don't give my Chen family a chance to survive.

For this reason, I called you here to discuss countermeasures..."

"What are you discussing?"

Before Chen Fang could finish his sentence, the nurse who had been arranged in advance jumped up and shouted: "If the imperial court doesn't give me a way to survive, I will change the imperial court. Hundreds of native officials, big and small, from Guangnan West Road will unite to make trouble, and Guangnan West Road will surely fall. .

If my Chen family operates properly, it will be changed from a native official to a royal family, and it is unknown! "

"I'm afraid that the imperial court..."

"Are you so afraid?" Tuo'er exclaimed, "There are so many native officials, and one hundred thousand soldiers can be obtained together. How can the court put down the rebellion? It's not about recruiting!

Even if you can't be the emperor, there is hope for an envoy with real power, the most urgent thing is to contact..."

"Not good..."

Before the childer could finish his sentence, he saw a servant rushing in in a hurry and shouted: "Patriarch, the imperial army suddenly appeared outside the village, I'm afraid they are going to attack."

Chen Fang was shocked and asked, "How many people are here?"

"About 5000 people."

Chen Fang felt relieved, and said, "Come on, let all the family members go up to the wall of the village, and the rest follow me up to check."

The location of the Chen family is more like a market town than a stockade.

It occupies more than three li in radius, surrounded by an eight-foot-high stone wall, and its location is still on the top of a hill, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

When we got to the wall of the stronghold, we saw a general sitting on his horse under the imperial flag, and the left and right soldiers had already set up bed crossbow catapults.

Seeing the officers and soldiers go to war so aggressively, Chen Fang became nervous.

Strictly speaking, the Chen family was also a military general, so they naturally knew the power of bed crossbows and trebuchets.

When a large number of family members were arranged to guard the defense, a horse from the officer's army ran up to the front and shouted: "The native official Chen Fang did not follow the imperial court's orders, and his crimes are undeniable. He is now dismissed from his official position and returned to Beijing for investigation.

All resistance is regarded as treason, and the three clans are bound together, and those who follow will be killed without mercy!

If Chen Fang is captured, he will be rewarded with [-] yuan and become one of the six Cao Caos in Hengzhou! "

Chen Fang was annoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "Come on, shoot that guy to death!"

Hearing the order, the left and right servants immediately shot arrows.

Seeing the rain of arrows coming, the emissary retreated immediately, but there was a creaking sound from the army formation, and the long pole of the catapult bounced suddenly, and more than fifty black spots suddenly fell towards the stockade.

"I'm worried that I don't have someone to stand up for, so I just want to take your Chen family into trouble!"

Under Wu Ge's sneer, the black spots had already hit the wall of the village.

Dinglin clattered, and the clay pot shattered.

The walls of the village are all built of big stones, so of course they won't be broken by mere clay pots, but the smell of kerosene permeated Chen Fang's face with shock.

It's just that the crossbow in the middle of the bed has already fired rockets.

Boom~

The fire rose into the sky, and the Chen Jiajia Ding, who was forced by the flames, kept retreating.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward, and when they got close, they fired arrows again and again, so that the guards did not dare to stand on the wall.

It is indeed beneficial for the elite family members to suppress the mountain people and run rampant in Hengzhou, but how can they beat the elite elites of the imperial court in a hurry?

Three hundred and six native officials are local tyrants

"Hold Chen Fang~"

"Hold Chen Fang~"

Amidst the cheers, a group of soldiers twisted one person and arrived in front of Wu Ge.

Chen Fang, who used to be well-dressed and graceful, now has disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, looking extremely embarrassed.

I saw him struggling and shouting: "The ancestors of my Chen family fought rebellion for the country and made great achievements. Renzong gave my family a rest with the country. Why did they cross the river and demolish the bridge when they came to this dynasty?"

"Heh, hard work and meritorious service?" Wu Ge looked down at Chen Fang, and sneered, "Your great-grandfather Chen Yuan did indeed shed blood and meritorious service for the country, but your grandfather, father, and you, what benefit is it to the country?"

"When my Chen family suppressed the various ministries in Yongding and ensured the stability of the frontier, why didn't it work?" Chen Fang shouted.

"Really?" Wu Ge sneered, and said: "It is your credit for killing court officials without authorization, oppressing people, and disobeying court orders?"

Seeing that Chen Fang wanted to say more, Wu Ge shouted impatiently: "Come on, Chen Fang resisted the heavenly army, the crime is unforgivable, be executed immediately!

His head was sent to the local officials everywhere, so that he could take a good look at it, what would happen if he disrespected the court! "

"How dare you, I'm a native official conferred by the imperial court, without a central government order, and a mere district control, how dare you kill me...ah..."
