Lin Feng didn't care about the aristocratic families because everyone had their own selfish motives. As long as there were people, this kind of thing couldn't be stopped.
What he could do was to use those who could work for him. Those who could not work for him could get lost!
He had people and resources in his hands. He had his own system and was fearless!
As he thought about these things, he glanced at the commander of the Weihai Guards who was still kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. Tears and snot flowed down his face like a stray dog. A hint of disgust appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.
Such trash could actually become the leader of a guard!
Da Ming's local military officer!
Although what Lin Feng did was against the Ming Dynasty, he did not have much ill will towards Da Ming. Instead, he felt pity for Da Ming. It was a perfect country without any blemishes. It had been obtained from the Outsiders since the beginning of the country. It had never been seen before.
However, such a dynasty was occupied by the barbaric Manchu Qing.
It caused the Divine Land to sink, and there was a stench everywhere!
"Raising these people is a waste of food. They can't work and are completely useless. Kill them all!”
Lin Feng waved his hand and ordered all the higher-ups of the Ming army in Weihai Wei to be dragged down and beheaded!
Although doing so would easily be tainted by others, and it would even give the enemy a strong desire to resist, causing the casualties of the soldiers under his command to increase greatly.
However, with the system as his capital, he could be so willful!
Moreover, a temporary casualty was better than causing trouble from time to time in the future!
To conquer a place, one had to completely control it!
If they couldn't control the population, land, and other important resources, then it would be better not to attack such a city!
This was what Lin Feng thought from the bottom of his heart.
Although doing so would slow down development and prolong the time it would take to unify China, it could completely eradicate internal problems and lay an incomparably deep foundation.
In the later stages, as the territory, population, food, steel, and other resources under his control increased, it would be like a snowball rolling, forming an upright and glorious trend that no one or faction could stop!
" Spare me! Spare me!"
The commanders of the Weihai Guards, the thousand-men, the hundred-men, and the commanders all started to panic. They screamed and begged for mercy.
However, Lin Feng did not give them any chance. He did not want to hear any more nonsense from them and waved his hand.
Not only did he chop off their heads, he even ransacked their homes!
Their families were all dragged to labor reform, road repair, and mining.
Lin Feng wouldn't bother with the nonsense of blaming the family members. In his eyes, there was no innocent person among the family members of these corrupt officials.
Since they had enjoyed glory and wealth, they had to bear the sin together!
As for those notorious bullies who dominated the market, they did not let any of them off. They were all killed!
"My lord, where are those rich merchants? How should we deal with it?" Liu Yun asked.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said," Take back all their land. We must ensure that other than those farmers and small landowners, the rest of the land will be taken back by the lord's manor." Then, they would check if they had committed any crimes. In serious cases, their families would be raided and exterminated. In minor cases, they would be fined and reformed. As for those who had no crimes and good character, they were all released!”
"But there is one thing. If they want to leave our territory, they are not allowed to take any property with them. They are only allowed to take their clothes and travel expenses!”
"Tell them publicly!”
"Whether they want to stay or leave is up to them!”
Lin Feng said in one breath. Taking back the land was a basic policy that could not be changed.
As for the life and death of these squires, he couldn't be bothered.
If it wasn't for the fact that he really needed these people to do business and prepare for the development of the financial industry in his territory, he wouldn't have kept these people at all.
"I'll make the arrangements now!" Liu Yunzhong nodded.
These people produced by the system all had absolute loyalty to him. Therefore, Lin Feng did not need to spend too much energy. He only needed to grasp the general direction and hand over the mission to his subordinates.
In the next few days, apart from sending out the 1,000 troops that had been renamed the 1,000-odd households to attack the 1,000-household and 100-household households in Weihai Wei, they occupied all the main roads and blocked all the communication channels.
Lin Feng put all his energy into the transformation of Weihai Wei.
Fortunately, he had many subordinates and all kinds of talents, so he could smoothly implement it and develop it as he had planned in his heart. Otherwise, he would be exhausted.
It was really too difficult to govern a place. There were too many things to do and too many things to do!
Even so, because he did not have a professional advisor, Lin Feng could only grope his way forward and proceed through trial and error.
In addition, with such a large territory, Lin Feng had to face the counterattack from the Dengzhou Prefecture after receiving the news. He once again carried out a large expansion of his army.
He would directly expand the army by two thousand households and add in some personnel to form the first guard together with the first thousand households!
One Wei Jin had five thousand men, and the number of soldiers had increased by nearly four times!
They had to start from scratch. In addition, the farmers who joined the army were all new recruits and needed to undergo training. This caused the combat effectiveness of the army to be greatly reduced in this month.
However, Lin Feng was able to withstand the pain of expanding the army.
Moreover, even if they were not professionally trained, they still had combat power!
Fully armed, they were not inferior to Da Ming's so-called elite soldiers!
Lin Feng had set two goals for his army, which was to have numbers and combat strength!
He expanded the army, transformed Weihai Wei, and rebuilt the base camp.
Time quietly passed by.
