"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
On the 13th day of May, the 51st year of Kangxi, when the Ming army's crouching tiger cannon sounded, a small town in the north of Haiyang County was immediately smashed.
The 33,000-strong cavalry battalion charged into the town, and inside were Jiaozhi's people holding various farming tools, their eyes filled with fear.
The leading centurion glanced at the commoners, but he wasn't in a hurry to act. Instead, he looked at a white-faced Confucian scholar beside him.
"Mr. Li, I'll have to trouble you a little more.”The centurion said respectfully.
"Hehe, I'm just talking. I'm not tired at all.”The white-faced scholar smiled, then turned around and spoke in the Jiaozhi language,
"The Zheng Clan of Jiaozhi is not willing to submit to the Celestial Dynasty and has invaded our Ming Dynasty with the Jian Krupp. Now, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is attacking Zheng and Haiyang County will be conquered in a few days. This time, we are not here to make things difficult for you. You are all honest people.”
"The Zheng family will give you 20% of the land tax, and they will also increase the Ding tax and miscellaneous tax.”
"The commoners are innocent. That's what Ming Tianzi said, so we're only here to kill the traitors in your town who are related to the Zheng family. We promise to abolish taxes and Ding taxes, and to always give you a land tax of 20%.”
"In addition, our army is in urgent need of wood, stone, and silver. After we eliminate the rebels, you can go up the mountain to cut down trees and dig up stones at will, and use equivalent resources to exchange for land with us.”
"The first collection of land taxes will begin after autumn. I will be the future guardian of your Qu River Town, Liang Yu. If you need any help, just come and tell me.”
"In the end, the emperor of Ming Dynasty also promised you that as long as you increase the land tax, you can rise up and not pursue it!!”
Liang Yu, who was from the Four Barbarians Embassy, was straightforward and immediately used words to eliminate the hostility of the Jiaozhi people towards them.
Although some of the Jiaozhi citizens were still wary of Liang Yu and the others, they did not dare to raise their farming tools to face them. After all, the equipment of the 3,000 Battalion looked very intimidating.
After accepting the Ming army, the people of Quhe Town immediately brought Liang Yu to investigate the Ruan family who had colluded with the Zheng family. They seized more than 3,000 taels of silver, more than 4,000 acres of land, and 50,000 stones of grain. They could be said to be a standard landlord class.
Afterwards, Liang Yu placed the land deed at the entrance of the Ruan family mansion and personally set up a table at the entrance. He promised five stones of firewood for one mu of land and one or two stones of stone for one mu of land.
Just like that, more than 8,000 people from Quhe Town immediately rushed up the mountain with axes and manuscripts. Everyone from the age of 60 to 50 began to work on the mountain.
In less than three days, a green mountain outside the city had been cut into a bare piece of land. The land had also been turned over, and stones had been transported to the town.
The hill that was originally more than thirty meters tall had shrunk by half in just three days.
4,000 mu of land was immediately given out. This made the people who got the land unable to believe their eyes. As Liang Yu had said at the beginning, he would be guarding Qu He Town for three years.
In the spring of the next year, the Ming army would distribute 20 cattle to each town, and the people of the town could queue up to use them.
Humans were creatures of interest. The Ming army's exchange of land, tax reduction, and tax exemption immediately received the support of the people of Quhe Town. Even the villages below came to report the small landowners who colluded with the Zheng family.
In just ten days, the seven towns under Haiyang County were conquered by Zhu Bomu one by one, and he obtained enough resources.

Looking at his resource list, Zhu Bomu had never felt so " rich " before, especially in the money and food column.
Do you wish to establish a branch?
The system prompt appeared again. This time, Zhu Bomu did not hesitate and directly clicked on the confirmation. He also set the location of the branch on a coast near the mouth of the Red River and built the city to the level of a county office.

……
"F * ck! Soldiers don't count?" The number of soldiers in the Haiyang branch was actually bound to the Six Zhao Mountain, and there was no list of shogunate, Jinyiwei, or the construction of the capital camp.
Only the fields and residential buildings could be recruited repeatedly, and the number of commoners was one-fifth of Liu Zhao Mountain's. Zhu Bomu was about to curse.
He had wanted to recruit another 10,000 soldiers and bring 14,000 soldiers to wipe out Jiaozhi, but the system army was bound to him.
"Hu ~~~" Zhu Bomu took a deep breath and regained some calmness. He then clicked on the column for the construction of 10,000 mu of cultivated land, the construction of the port, and the construction of all residential buildings, and the recruitment of 10,000 citizens!
" Just treat it as a logistics supply base. At least we have a navy…" After a sigh, Zhu Bomu led Shen Lian and the three thousand battalions into the Haiyang branch.
