"Kill!"
The Weihai Guards collapsed. Countless people threw away their helmets and armor and fled with their heads in their hands. Some even jumped down from the city walls in panic. However, most of the Wei soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
The Liu Clan Island Army ignored them and opened the city gates as quickly as they could, completely occupying the four gates of Weihai Wei.
Outside the city, countless Liu Clan Island soldiers rushed in from the city gate.
In the era of cold weapons, street fighting was impossible. The city gate was the most important battlefield. Taking down the city gate meant that the entire city was completely open.
The four city gates were all controlled, which meant that Weihai Wei had fallen into the hands of the Liu Clan Island Army.
What Lin Feng needed to do next was to rebuild Weihai Wei's defenses and use it as a base camp.
After all, Liujia Island was only a small island with a radius of more than ten square kilometers. Its development potential was limited. To put it bluntly, even the wood used to build the fishing village was gone. All of them had been cut down by him in a destructive manner.
Weihaiwei was different. First of all, Weihaiwei was an excellent port city. Secondly, it had a large territory and did not lack any resources.
After taking down Weihai Wei, Lin Feng's power would no longer have any shortcomings.
The resources needed could be found in Weihai Wei. All they needed to do was to invest a large amount of manpower.
However, what he, Lin Feng, did not lack the most was manpower!
Weihai Wei could also find the most important resources of war horses. Although they couldn't compare to the horses produced by the farm, the light cavalry under their command had war horses to ride. They didn't need to walk all the time.
Although Weihai Wei had been taken down, Lin Feng would be even busier. After all, conquering a city did not mean that the resources in the city belonged to him.
Before building Weihai Wei into a base camp, he still needed to clean up Weihai Wei.
Lin Feng didn't need a group of uncontrollable subordinates who occupied a large amount of resources.
For example, those squires who owned a large number of fields, forests, and even various mines were the targets of Lin Feng's resolute attack.
If he didn't have the system, he might still work with these people because he needed their resources. Working with them would allow him to control the resources of Weihai Wei faster.
But now, he had people and resources.
Why should he divide the world equally with these people?!
Strike, a resolute strike!
It was not that he had any prejudice against this class, but he did not need the existence of unstable classes in his territory, nor did he need these uncontrollable factors.
He wouldn't have come up with the idea of splitting the land with the rich!
In the entire Ming Dynasty, land was the most important resource. The people below did not do anything and did not have any credit. If they were given land for free, they would not sell their lives for you or be grateful to you.
On the contrary, the more they didn't cherish what was given to them for free.
If they wanted land, they had to take out something.
People who had no money or resources could only work hard and risk their lives.
Only by using survival as a threat could the people in the territory obediently follow Lin Feng's plan.
He wouldn't do anything to send people to the countryside outside the city to do some hard work.
He only had one thing to do, and that was to accept all the resources in the territory and obediently let everyone in the territory work for him for a meal, a room, and a set of clothes.
In short, if he wanted to eat, he had to work!
If you want clothes, work!
If you want a house to live in, work!
Unprecedented concentration of power, becoming the biggest landlord!
This was also Lin Feng's preparation for the future industrial development of the territory. The population needed to develop the industry was too large!
In history, in order to develop industry, the United Kingdom liberated farmers from the land and ran horses to surround the land, causing the famous " sheep eating people " incident. It was to drive the farmers out and become workers.
Lin Feng had a farm that could produce 6,000 catties of grain per mu. He was destined not to need too many people to go to the land.
Just focus on developing the industry!
The strength of a force depended on its population and productivity.
Industry was the best way to increase productivity.
However, if they had a large amount of weapons and equipment, as well as a large population, then this force would be very powerful.
If it was a country, then it was a strong country!
It had been like this since ancient times.
As the hidden dangers in Weihai Wei were cleared, Lin Feng rode the warhorse he had just captured and stepped into the gate of Weihai Wei.
When he arrived at the Weihai Guards 'station, he saw a row of people kneeling on the ground. These people were all the leaders of the Weihai Guards. All of them were dejected.
Among them, the commander of Weihai Guards was wearing a beggar's clothes. He wanted to fool them, but the exquisite brocade clothes exposed him.
"Great King, spare my life, spare my life!"
"I'll confess, I'll confess everything!"
When the Weihai Guards commander saw Lin Feng, he was deeply shocked by Lin Feng's young face. The leader of the powerful force that made him despair was actually a 16-year-old youth?
Immediately after, he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Lin Feng ignored him and asked his only subordinate, Liu Yun,""Have you collected all the data?”
"The first thing to do after entering the city is to protect the information!”Liu Yun hurriedly nodded.
The so-called information was household registration, fields, mines, and so on.
Even the Great Ming Dynasty had statistics. Although there were many hidden numbers, there was still a large number of estimates. They could also verify the statistics based on the information, right?
Moreover, the government did not have any specific information, but the major families did!
After searching them all and tabulating them, he could come up with a more accurate number.
Looking at the statistics, Lin Feng was a little surprised. Weihaiwei had an area of nearly tens of thousands of ordinary kilometers and a population of 100,000 households. There were more than 800,000 people, with an average of eight people per household.
If they were to register carefully again, it would not be a problem to have more than a million people.
And the statistics of the Ming government were two to three hundred thousand people. The number of people hidden was really too much!
Many of them were tenants who had been hidden by the big landowners.
During the late Ming Dynasty, especially in the north, refugees were everywhere, and the flow of people was especially large. Some places were uninhabited, while others were filled with people.
It was especially easy to hide it from the public.
Everyone could smell the scent of the chaotic future. The squires of the various places in the Ming Dynasty were very smart and had already begun to make preparations.
Especially those big families, all the forces began to place their bets.
Zhang Xianzhong of Hubei, Li Zicheng of Henan, and even the Manchu Tartars outside the Great Wall, all invested manpower and material resources.
It was for the sake of the family's eternal wealth.
They had experienced many things like changing dynasties, so they were very familiar with how the various factions placed their bets.
Even someone as powerful as the Great Ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, could not be eliminated.
Killing tens of thousands of officials was like cutting leeks. The officials were cut one after another.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the court was controlled by them, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty was like a puppet. What was even more terrifying was that they could change the emperor whenever they wanted.
Such as Zhengde Tianqi.
Wei Zhongxian, the dog that the Tianqi Emperor had released, was indeed very fierce. His combat strength was valiant, causing them to suffer heavy losses. But so what? They could make Apocalypse fall into the water in minutes and replace it with Chongzhen.
A dog that had lost its master could no longer be ferocious. It was foolishly killed by its new master.
Chongzhen, who reacted later, frantically changed the cabinet elders. The heads of the ministers were cut off one after another, and almost all the officials in the court were changed.
But so what?
All the officials in Great Ming were their people!
This was because the rules of the birth of the officials of Great Ming were controlled by them.
Although the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by them later on, so what?
They had already placed their bets!
No matter which faction won, they would not fall!
Lin Feng shook his head when he thought of what had happened in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. He could not rely on anyone in this world. He still had to rely on the system!
