Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 96

"I would have put on the armor if I knew it earlier. In today's situation, we may be very dangerous." Wang Ruoyuan said to Xu Ruogu.

"My lord, they, they are all common people, and they just surrounded us and didn't make any drastic moves, so we killed them, isn't it very good."

When Xu Ruogu saw Wang Ruoyuan pull out the waist knife and throw the scabbard aside, he knew that he was intent on killing.

"People, from the moment they fight against the government, they are not people, but bandits like Li Zicheng." Wang Ruoyuan growled and said to Xu Ruogu, as if trying to make him realize the reality.

"His Majesty assigned the tax card to a tax collector under the general banner, and also gave our tax inspectors each a guard of 3000 households, and even supervised a tax barracks with [-] people, just to suppress all opponents at this time and kill them. Get rid of those people who are behind the scenes, do you know?"

Seeing Wang Ruoyuan's crazy appearance, Xu Ruogu realized at this moment that killing the Shen family's caravan before was just a small matter, and now is the real big scene.

"Anyone who refuses to retreat will be killed without mercy!" Wang Ruoyuan and Xu Ruogu shouted loudly to the farmers surrounding them.

The guards, tax officials, and handymen behind them also imitated their chiefs and shouted, "Those who violate the order and refuse to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

Although there are only more than 100 people behind Wang Ruoyuan and Xu Ruogu, they have been trained and have a loose camp to follow the actions of their superiors.

So the momentum of these 100 people is much stronger than the five or six hundred tenants and long-term workers gathered by the Shen family's big housekeeper.

"Don't be afraid. They only have 100 people. We have ten times as many people as them. The masters said that if you kill them, you will be rewarded with all the taxes there. Hurry up." There's momentum, but he doesn't feel like he's at a disadvantage.

The head steward of the Shen family naively thought that he was powerful because he had a large number of people, but he forgot that they were civilians, while Wang Ruoyuan and the others were soldiers. There was a huge gap between the two.

No matter how bad or corrupt the soldiers are, they are much stronger than the civilians.

Even the combat effectiveness of the peasant army was far inferior to that of the official army before the [-]th or [-]th year of Chongzhen, let alone them.

"The handymen stay at the tax card, and Shui Ding and I fight out." Wang Ruoyuan didn't intend to stick to it, but to gather all the reliable force in his hand, and then fight out.

Seeing the farmers slowly approaching, Wang Ruoyuan didn't show a trace of fear, but laughed instead.

Because he knows that the time has finally come for him to make contributions. Being a soldier can only be promoted quickly by killing people. Isn't he joining the army just to get promoted.

"Brothers, it's time for us to increase our ranks and become nobles. Each person will be rewarded with one tael of silver depending on how many people are killed. I recommend you to become officers in the army."

Wang Ruoyuan offered a reward, and then used promotions to seduce the officials and guards behind him.

It has to be said that material interests are always the most stimulating, even in modern times, let alone feudal society.

"Kill." Wang Ruoyuan held up his waist knife, then turned around and took the lead in charging.

Fifty tax collectors, ten guards, as well as Wang Ruoyuan and Xu Ruogu, a total of 62 people, pounced on the dark crowd like tigers descending from the mountain.

Wang Ruoyuan was the first to meet the enemy, because he was standing in front of the crowd and took the lead in the charge.

He first approached an old farmer with a rake in his hand, and slashed forward. Before he had time to react, he chopped off the old farmer's arm.

"Blood."

"I've seen blood." The farmers who were encouraged by the Shen family's steward to see the blood were immediately frightened and wanted to retreat, but the crowd was too dense, and they had no room to retreat in front of them.

When the peasants were shocked and frightened, Wang Ruoyuan and Xu Ruogu did not hesitate. They were like robots who didn't know how to get tired.

There are also tax officials and guards behind the two of them, dozens of knives and guns brushing away, killing more than 100 people in a short time.

When the housekeeper of the Shen family saw that Wang Ruoyuan and the others were surrounded by dead bodies, they were so frightened that they froze.

There was only one thought in his mind, were these people still human?Why can I kill so many people in the blink of an eye? The murder of these officials is like cutting wheat, it's terrible.

"Housekeeper, let's run away. They are too scary. If you leave the green hills alone, you won't have to worry about firewood. Go back and report to the master, and see what the master wants to do."

The steward of the Shen family didn't come here alone, there were several guards from the Shen family standing beside him, and they came here with the steward of the Shen family.

Seeing that Wang Ruoyuan and the others were like killing gods, these guards were trembling with fright, their legs trembling, so they wanted to drag the big housekeeper of the Shen family to leave here quickly.

They thought to themselves, Master Shen didn't ask them to do anything anyway, and they wouldn't be punished if they just found an excuse to get over it when they went back.

"Okay, okay, go quickly, give me a hand, I can't walk anymore." The butler of the Shen family was so frightened that his legs trembled that he could hardly walk.

It's not that he hasn't killed people before. He used to punish those tenants who couldn't pay the rent in the Shen family's compound, as well as long-term workers who made mistakes. He didn't know how ruthless he was.

He beat people with a whip until they were beaten to pieces. He was the best at hitting people on the back with a whip. When the person died, the skin and flesh were all gone, until the white spine could be seen. At this time, the whip also broke.

Then he changed a person and a whip, and many frightened people fainted before they were whipped by him.

But it's not that cheap. The head steward of the Shen family will wake people up and let them be whipped by him when they are most awake. This will bring people the most pain.

When the servants of the nursing home supported the big steward of the Shen family and were about to leave, the farmers who were encouraged to attack the tax card finally realized that they could not achieve their goals.

They couldn't even cause any harm to Wang Ruoyuan and the others. Wang Ruoyuan and the others killed for a long time, and not even a single person was killed.

At this time, the thugs who besieged the tax card finally collapsed. They put down the farm tools in their hands and ran desperately into the field.

It's a pity that because of the crowd, quite a few of them had no time to escape and were surrounded by Wang Ruoyuan and the others.

Seeing Wang Ruoyuan and the others approaching, those troublemakers knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness.

"Master, we surrendered, please spare us."

"Yes, I beg my lord."

But just when Xu Ruogu was about to agree to let you go, Wang Ruoyuan stopped him.
