The strongest Marquis in history

Xia Houhu pinched the horse's belly with his legs, and he rushed out.

Holding a long stick, he went straight to Baibo Mountain.

Bai Boshan saw Xia Houhu rushing towards him. Although he was born as a general, he also knows some martial arts.But Hou Hu was tall and strong, and he looked like a master at first glance, so Bai Boshan immediately ordered the guards around him to stop him.

The personal guard of Baibo Mountain is a brave soldier.

These soldiers took the initiative to meet him and rushed to Xia Houhu's body, ready to stop Xia Houhu.I saw Xia Houhu swung the long iron stick in Xia Houhu's hand, and swept it out viciously.

boom!boom! !

The iron rod hit the soldier.

Immediately, people turned on their backs, and the two guards fell to the ground, vomiting blood and dying.

Xiahou's tiger eyes widened, and he went straight to Baibo Mountain.Although some personal guards came to stop him again, but in front of Xia Houhu's iron rod, Bai Boshan's personal guards were like paper.

In the blink of an eye, he was directly beheaded.

In just a short moment, Xia Houhu had already killed Bai Boshan.

The iron rod swung up and down.

Bai Boshan immediately rode his horse and turned around, trying to escape.But the iron rod that fell was impartial, and it happened to land on Bai Boshan's shoulder. When the rod fell, the shoulder blade shattered, and the iron rod continued to fall.

Under the ferocious force, the internal organs were instantly shattered.

puff!

Bai Boshan spat out a mouthful of blood.

He fell to the ground immediately.

No more breath.

After Xia Houhu killed Baibo Mountain with one move, he shouted: "Baibo Mountain is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed."

"Baibo Mountain is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!"

The soldiers around Xiahouhu shouted loudly.

Originally, the soldiers around Baibo Mountain were defeated after the previous battle to break the city, and their fighting spirit was completely lost.At this moment, after Bai Boshan was killed, the morale of the army completely collapsed, and no one was willing to resist.

One by one, the soldiers kept kneeling and surrendering.

No one is willing to resist anymore.

Xia Houhu didn't take care of some of the fleeing soldiers, he just detained the soldiers who surrendered and beheaded the soldiers who resisted.

In less than half an hour, the battle was over.

On Xia Houhu's side, not a single soldier was injured or killed.

More than [-] soldiers of Baibo Mountain were beheaded, and more than [-] were captured.

Xia Houhu escorted the people, and then went straight back to Kaiyang County.

Xia Houhu arrived at the county seat, joined Zhuge Feng directly, and stationed the army.Then Xia Houhu went straight to the county government office. He looked at Wang Qi and reported: "Young master, I am humbled to go to ambush Baibo Mountain and kill Baibo Mountain on the spot."

"Not only that, but also captured more than [-] people and killed more than [-] people."

"But some people fled."

Xia Houhu said: "As for our casualties, more than sixty soldiers were injured, but none of them were injured."

Wang Qi said: "Well done."

The result of today's battle is relatively rich for Wang Qi.

After Xia Houhu handed over, he turned around and retreated.

Wang Qi flipped through the land yellow book and the household registration yellow book in the county government, and took a general look.Because Baibo Mountain is a county magistrate, everything in Kaiyang County is pretty good.

The population of Kaiyang County is pretty good, with [-] tigers and over [-] people.

Of course, the actual population must be more than that.

After all, the aristocratic family has private soldiers.

Many slaves from aristocratic families were never registered.

It's just that there is less land.

Almost [-]% of the land in Kaiyang County is in the hands of the four major families.The vast majority of the people lived on the land of the four major families of the ethnic group.

In troubled times, land mergers are fierce.

When people encounter disasters, they can only open pawns and sell their land cheaply to live.Once the apprentice is pawned, and there is no money to redeem it when the time comes, naturally it cannot be bought back.

The cheap sale of land, because life is hard to live on, can only be a cheap sale.

These lead to the concentration of land.

After watching it, Wang Qi sighed.

The entire Langya Kingdom is almost in such a situation.

Aristocratic families occupy most of the land.

On the contrary, the land controlled by the government is so small that if the common people want to cultivate it, they have to look at the faces of the aristocratic families.Especially when leasing land, the rent paid every year is quite a lot.

The ones that really fall into their hands are even fewer, and it is good to survive.

After Zhugefeng finished dealing with the military affairs, he had already entered the county government office. He saw Wang Qi's serious face and said, "What's the matter? He looks sad. It's a good thing to take Kaiyang County now!"

Wang Qi handed over the land yellow book and said, "Just take a look and you'll know."

Zhuge Feng took it over, and after looking through it quickly, he generally knew what he knew, and said: "This is a very normal thing, there is no way, the influence of the aristocratic family is too great."

"In fact, this is also the ills accumulated by Dazhou for more than 200 years."

Zhuge Feng said in a deep voice: "To correct this matter, it cannot be accomplished overnight. Second brother, step by step, these things will be corrected."

Wang Qi said: "I know, just seeing this makes me feel uncomfortable."

Zhuge Feng said: "This is impossible."

Wang Qi changed the subject and said, "How is the situation of the army handled?"

Zhuge Feng said: "It has been dealt with, including the more than 1000 people brought back by Xia Houhu just now, and they have all been reorganized. When we were in Linyi County, we reorganized a group of soldiers, and now we have reorganized a group of soldiers from Baibo Mountain."

"Because many soldiers were eliminated, and many people were unwilling to join the army, the personnel were reduced."

"At present, our military strength has also expanded to 1 people."

Zhuge Feng said with a smile: "If some are not eliminated, the number will be even greater."

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "The elite level of the army must be maintained. This is a red line that cannot be crossed. If there are fewer people, there will be fewer. What we want is the elite."

Zhuge Feng said: "It is indeed so."

Wang Qi said: "Brother, although the banquet tonight is to thank the four major families, I don't think it will be peaceful."

Zhuge Feng said with a smile: "I also think there will be waves. After all, Baiboshan died, and the post of county magistrate became vacant. People from the four major families will compete for this post. Of course, they may push out one person together. "

After a pause, Zhuge Feng said: "Second brother's plan is to make Li Meng the county magistrate?"

Wang Qi said: "That's the way it is."

Zhuge Feng smiled and said: "This is a good show, I want to see how these aristocratic families will deal with it."

Wang Qi also laughed.

In order to fight for power, the aristocratic family must spare no effort.

Li Meng would not back down when Wang Qili pushed him down.

The two sides conflict, which is interesting.

Zhuge Feng and Wang Qi chatted, and the two were already looking forward to the upcoming conflict in the evening.The calm Kaiyang County should break the deadlock, and it cannot always be dominated by the four major families.

Chapter 366

Kaiyang County, north of the city, the Han family.

in the hall.

Han Qinzi sat at the main seat.

Dong Xu, Ma Tianqi, and Li Mi were also there. In addition, Han Zhen, as a direct descendant of the Han family and the leader of the younger generation, was also at the bottom.

In the hall today, the atmosphere is very high, and everyone is very happy.

Han Qinzi sat on the main seat, glanced at the people of all the families present, and said slowly: "Everyone, we have made a great contribution in helping Wang Qi enter the city this time."

"Without us, Wang Qi couldn't easily enter Kaiyang County, and couldn't easily destroy Baibo Mountain."

"So this time, Wang Qi should give us benefits. Of course, Wang Qi may not give it directly, so the old man's idea is to fight for it directly."

Han Qinzi stroked his beard and proposed an idea he had long ago.

Dong Xu said, "How to fight for it?"

Han Qinzi smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said, "The old man's plan is to request that members of our four major families serve as county magistrates. After all, we have made great contributions this time, and it is reasonable to give us a county magistrate."

Li Mi suddenly asked: "Brother Han, who is the candidate?"

This is the key.

Dong Xu and Ma Tianqi also looked at Han Qinzi at the same time.

Han Qinzi said sternly: "Everyone, you need to be careful in selecting the county magistrate. We four old guys are definitely not suitable. We have to choose from the younger generation. In my opinion, my grandson Han Zhen is well-read in poetry and books, and This time, he went out of the city to contact Wang Qi, and even stayed in Wang Qi's army as a hostage."

When Han Qinzi said this, he paused for a while, and then said, "The old man means that he will be the county magistrate, what do you think?"

Ma Tianqi, Dong Xu and Li Mi looked at each other, but they were silent.

Stay silent for now.

Han Qinzi is an old fox, and he is used to this kind of thing.

unwilling.

It is nothing more than uneven distribution of benefits.

Benefits are given, everything is easy to talk about.

Han Qinzi's face was gentle, and he said calmly, "Everyone, my grandson is the county magistrate. Right now, it is the easiest way for Wang Qi to pass. It might be difficult for other people."

"After all, he has shown his face in front of Wang Qi. In fact, whether it is my grandson serving as the county magistrate, or someone from your family serving as the county magistrate, it is the same. They all represent my four major families."

"The four great families share the same spirit, and they are all on the same boat. How can they be separated from each other?"

Han Qinzi said: "" So this point has no effect.In addition, the old man guarantees that Zhen'er will serve as the county magistrate, and the county magistrate, county lieutenant, Liu Cao, and assistant officials in Kaiyang County will be replaced by people from our major families. "

"At that time, the candidates will be selected from the Li family, the Dong family and the Ma family."

"Besides, my Han family will not participate in the grain business during the autumn harvest this year, and the three of you will make money."

Han Qinzi said: "Everyone, can you?"

Li Mi is an extremely wise person, he knows the background of the Han family, and he is stronger than the three major families.If they fight alone, they will definitely not be able to stop the Han family, and cooperation will benefit both.

Once there is internal strife, each will be damaged.

Li Mi took the lead and said, "Brother Han, I agree."

With Li Mi speaking first, Dong Xu and Ma Tianqi also expressed their willingness to cooperate.

Han Qinzi showed a smile on his old face, and said: "Three, I am grateful for the concession. I will leave the words here. For the post of Kaiyang county magistrate, people from our four major families will come in turn. When Han Zhen takes the post of county magistrate If you get promoted, let them out and let someone else do it. Our four major families will sit in the manor one by one."

He's making empty promises.

Anyway, it’s about keeping people’s hearts steady.

Don't care about anything else.

Li Mi, Dong Xu, and Ma Tianqi were all good people, they understood what this meant, and they just nodded in agreement.

Han Qinzi changed the subject and said: "Wang Qi defeated the army in Linyi County, and now with our help, he has taken down Kaiyang County. According to this momentum, it is just around the corner to take control of Langya Kingdom.""

After a pause, Han Qinzi said: "Especially Wang Qi has a strong background. In my opinion, it will be a matter of time before he is transferred to the court. So we should make good use of Wang Qi."

Li Midao: "What brother Han said is true. Wang Qi is not an easy person, and he needs to win over him. In short, let's run Kaiyang County well and not hold him back. Naturally, Wang Qi will know the benefits of our four big families. .”
