For a long time after this day, some people couldn't figure out why Fang Jie's journey to the south was so different. He seemed to have no intention of showing any friendly gestures to the rich and powerful families in those places from the very beginning, but declared with an almost barbaric overbearing that he would not bow his head to anyone.
In Liangcheng, Beihui Road, he killed a ninth-rank powerhouse just as a small warning. In Dagu City, Nanhui Road, he slaughtered a family to tell others not to try anything more. If the test continues, the result will only make them feel more and more painful and scared. The people in Dagu City have already forgotten when the last killing happened. But they will remember when this killing ended.
When Zhuo Buyi left, he asked Fang Xie why his hostility was getting stronger and stronger, and Fang Xie replied that I wanted to use human blood to nourish my murderous aura. Perhaps this is Fang Jie giving himself a clear direction, because the next step he has to take is bloody.
No one dared to mention the matter of 10,000 county soldiers, and no one would be in trouble again at this time. They have already seen what it means to be unreasonable, and the smell of blood in the city made them want to vomit. The cavalry of the Black Banner Army passed by in groups on the streets of Dagu City, and the common people watched from afar and whispered. The corpses carried out of the Liu family's high gate compound were loaded into a carriage, and then transported outside the city for burial.
On this day, the people of Dagu City all remembered the name Fang Jie.
Because more than 20 soldiers under him were killed and a wealthy family was slaughtered in anger, such a story is destined to be spread for a long time to come. Of course, such a bloody method may not be recognized by everyone, but the soldiers under Fang Jie deeply remember one thing, their general will always stand by their side.
After everyone dispersed, the governor's yamen of Nanhui Road became deserted. All the guards looked listless, and the pride that was originally evident in them was completely wiped out by Fang Xie's butcher knife. They didn't even want to and didn't dare to look at those cavalrymen in black armor anymore, not only because these guys killed people without batting an eyelid, but the most important thing was that the soldiers of the Black Banner Army were even more proud than them, real pride.
The fragrance of tea wafted in the living room. Du Jianzhou sipped his tea but couldn't find a topic to talk about. He glanced at Fang Jie from time to time, but found that the other party was still very calm, as if he had never given the order to kill. Du Jianzhou can imagine that after today's incident, no matter whether it is the ten thousand soldiers from the North Hui Road or the ten thousand soldiers from the South Hui Road who are about to follow Fang Jie, no one has come here since then. Dare to be domineering.
"Today's matter... After all, I was negligent in monitoring. Since someone has already killed your brother to pay for his life, this matter will not be mentioned."
Du Jianzhou was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I have heard some rumors about something. General Fang should have known it clearly in the Northwest at that time... It is rumored that His Majesty killed hundreds of courtiers in one go in the Northwest Palace. … it is true?"
He didn't want to talk about what happened today, so he had to talk about something else.
"yes."
Fang Jie nodded without saying a word.
Although Du Jianzhou knew it was true, he still felt a little nervous when he got the affirmation from Fang Jie. Du Jianzhou respected and feared the God Bless Emperor sitting on the Dragon Throne. Although the big officials in these places don't have many opportunities to meet the emperor, and the power of the land seal party is overwhelming, but he has never doubted that he might be dismissed or even beheaded by the emperor because of some trivial matters.
Looking at Fang Jie with a calm face, Du Jianzhou suddenly understood why the emperor valued this young man so much. Fang Jie's style of acting today seems to be somewhat similar to that emperor's majesty. When it's time to be gentle, it makes people feel like a spring breeze, and when it's time to be cold, it makes people feel like falling into an ice cave.
Du Jianzhou couldn't imagine what kind of experience made this young general become what he is now, or because he was cold-blooded from the bottom of his bones.
After Fang Jie's simple answer, the two fell into silence again.
"When does General Fang plan to leave?"
Du Jianzhou subconsciously found another topic, and only after he asked it did he realize that something was wrong.
"soon."
Fang Jie turned his eyes away from the servants in the courtyard who were wiping the blood, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "My lord... I have a question that I can't figure out. If... If my Black Banner Army didn't go south, the people of Nanyan The Hehe people continue to fight north, how will the governor respond?"
This question was too sharp, and it made Du Jianzhou feel uncomfortable.
"Naturally, we will fight to the end."
When Du Jianzhou answered this sentence, he asked himself quietly in his heart, and then he found that his answer was still the same, so he was a little surprised, surprised that he had never understood himself.
"The general has a saying that I just heard and felt particularly empathetic to..."
After a pause, he said, "No matter what, we are all Han Chinese. No matter how violent and unmanageable our family is, we don't allow outsiders to bully us. When they come, we will beat them out."
"No."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Just by hitting the door, the enemy will not give up and quickly forget their fear."
Fang Jie turned his attention to Du Jianzhou and said with a smile on Du Jianzhou's face, "We have to fight back, to the enemy's home, until the enemy has no home, so that the next enemy will be frightened."
"Call back?"
Du Jianzhou was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously repeated Fang Jie's words.
"Call back."
Fang Jie nodded: "The more ruthless the better."
These words made Du Jianzhou's heart churn, and he was afraid to make eye contact with Fang Jie for a while. For some reason, he became more and more afraid of this young general.
…
…
Before all the money, food and supplies prepared by Nanhui Road were collected, Fang Xie specially gathered 10,000 county soldiers from North Hui Road and 10,000 county soldiers from Nanhui Road, and lined up in the army camp in Dagu City. Although these county soldiers did not come from the same place, they found that they all had the same expression when they looked at the point general on the stage.
awe
These county soldiers have not stopped practicing on weekdays, so the formation is quite neat. Originally, according to the rules of the Sui Dynasty, the county soldiers did not have to practice every day or even every month when there was no war. These county soldiers are all working in the fields during the busy farming season, and only when there is an enemy situation will they be assembled to defend against the enemy.
However, since the chaos of the Sui Dynasty, when Luo Yao took away millions of troops from the southwest, almost all the county soldiers no longer followed the previous practice. Keep practicing. In order to increase the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers, people from these aristocratic families poured money into it. At least in terms of equipment, the 20,000 soldiers are not much worse than the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty.
In the past, these rich families would not pay money to maintain the county soldiers, but now they are willing to pay money, not stingy at all.
But even so, the combat power of these county soldiers is still worrying. They were recruited after Luo Yao led the troops away, although not all of them were like this, but they accounted for more than 70%. According to the rules set by the Sui Dynasty, the number of soldiers in each county should not exceed 1,500, and the total strength of soldiers in each county should not exceed 15,000. After Luo Yao left, the southwestern garrison force was almost emptied, and the troops of the county were constantly expanding along with each other.
But the time to concentrate is still short, and training is still needed.
Fang Jie walked up to the platform slowly, and glanced at the soldiers who were standing neatly and dared not even speak. He paused for a while and then said loudly: "I know why you are standing so straight now. , why you know the rules so well, you yourself know... because the city has just been splashed with blood. I also know that many of you hate me, because I killed more than 500 of your comrades today, There is also a lieutenant of the county soldier. In any case, I will not make you feel friendly... "
"I didn't call you here to further investigate who else was involved in this matter. This matter ends here, and I won't bring it up again today. If you don't understand why, I will not hesitate to offend you. The local wealthy families are also going on a killing spree, you can ask the soldiers of my Black Banner Army, they will tell you why."
"I said in the governor's office that my soldiers are not allowed to touch anyone except myself. Whoever touches my men will be doubled and returned. You are not brought out from the Zhuqueshan camp, nor are you The veterans I brought back from the Northwest, even most of you still don’t know what a soldier is and what a soldier should look like.”
"I said this not to scare you or relax you, but to let you understand one thing. Since you have followed me from today, you will also be my soldiers in the future. If someone raises a knife against you in another place , then I will also seek justice for you. Maybe some of you will still hate me after the Southern Border War is over, but I hope you will remember what I said today as deeply as you hate me."
"Follow me, and you can trust me with your back. If you follow me, I will not allow anyone to desecrate your dignity. Remember, if someone asks who you belong to in the future, you will Give me a loud answer, you are Fang Jie's soldiers!"
After saying this, Fang Jie pointed to the mountains of materials piled up in the distance of the school grounds.
"These things belong to you. They are the supplies and food that the folks and elders of Nanhui Road raised for you. Do you know why they are willing to save a morsel from their own rations and give it to you?"
Fang Jie looked around: "Because the common people know what you are going to do, you are going to kill the enemy! Maybe you will say that the enemy is not burning, killing and looting now. It is not Nanhui Road, and it has not even reached Yongbei Road. You are still safe. But have you ever thought that if the men in Yongbei Road think the same way, then the enemy may kill you in an instant! If you think like this, then it won’t be long before all of your family members become slaves or corpses!"
His voice suddenly increased: "Since you are already my soldiers, I will do my best to keep you alive and victorious on the battlefield. Then I will bring you back to your hometown proudly, and fight hard with your fists." Waving and telling your family and folks, you killed those sons of bitches! Remember, the man standing in front of you now... I! Never lost a battle!"
"Is there anyone who dares to shout after me?"
Fang Jie said loudly: "Bring the glory back to my hometown!"
The scene was still quiet, so quiet that even the breathing of the soldiers was very clear. Their faces gradually turned red, and their breathing became more and more rapid.
There is a hot thing in their hearts that keeps surging up, burning their throats, it seems that only shouting can alleviate the burning sensation.
"no one?"
Fang asked.
"Will… "
A small soldier standing in the front position looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, and his clothes looked a bit loose, and the one-meter-long horizontal knife hung from his waist and hung to the ground. His neck was red from holding back, and his eyes bulged out after yelling out the word.
"Fuck his grandma... afraid of a fart!"
He muttered something to himself, and then stretched his neck and shouted: "Bring the glory back to your hometown!"
"Bring glory back home!"
"Bring glory back home!"
"Bring glory back home!"
