Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 18
Li Bing died tragically.

In order to avoid further changes, Uncle Zhong, who had been relieved from the accident, endured the injury by force, and directly used the technique of wind binding to restrain Li Bing for a short time, making him unable to move.

Xu Chu took the opportunity to use his big move and cut Li Bing in half with one strike.

With the death of Li Bing in the battle, except for a few small shrimps who escaped, the men in black were completely wiped out. It also meant that the Li family, one of the two major wealthy families in Yize County, completely became history.

The night was about to dissipate, and in the distant sky, a ray of light broke through the shackles of the night and jumped out.

Dawn is coming.

Qian Yuan stood up, looking at the mansion riddled with holes, with mixed emotions in his heart.

He originally thought that after he succeeded in enthroning the vassal, his royal brothers who were far away in the divine capital would also stop. However, it turned out to be wishful thinking, and those people still lingered.

strength……

Behind the prosperous Yu Yutian is a more cruel survival law than the earth. Once you are involved in the vortex, you must be prepared to lose your life at any time, and there is no room for change.

Nor should there be any fluke mentality.

"In this case, let's fight hard." At this moment, facing the cruel reality, Qian Yuan resolutely cut off the little luck on the earth, determined to be a qualified prince.

Fighting overnight, Qianyuan lost two more loyal guards, and the talents around him became more and more withered. At the same time, the killing brought Qianyuan another 3200 killing points.

Li Bing alone brought 1800 killing points.

Qian Yuan can basically confirm that when beheading an enemy, in addition to the basic blessing of force, there will also be additional bonuses from factors such as the identity, rank, and status of the person killed.

There is no bonus for beheading monsters at Qingqiu Station, mostly because those monsters are dead soldiers and have no status.

Uncle Zhong asked: "Your Highness, what should we do with those who surrendered and those who escaped?"

Qian Yuan's face was stern, "Knowing that this place is the mansion of the king, how dare you come here to assassinate him? How is it different from conspiracy? Those who surrender will be taken into custody, and they will be beheaded on a certain day. Those who escape will be hunted back and beheaded."

Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.

"understood."

Uncle Zhong nodded in agreement, looking at His Highness whose "temperament changed drastically", he didn't know what to think.

"As soon as the day breaks, search the Li family immediately. The positions vacated by Li Feng and others, as well as those subordinates who are in the Li family's faction, will all be dismissed. I will work hard on you and make the adjustment list overnight."

Before Qianyuan, he wanted to take a step-by-step approach and slowly take Yize County into his hands in a gentle and gentle manner, but the development of the situation forced him to take a more radical path.

Those people are wicked, Qianyuan must control Yize County as soon as possible. With the territory and army, he can protect himself and even challenge those people.

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Uncle Zhong is confident that he can be favored by Empress Wende. He is not an ordinary general manager. If it is not for bad luck, he might have the opportunity to take charge of one side.

…………

The sky finally dawned.

What happened last night, what should be known, is already known, and the ending is beyond everyone's expectations, which makes those who "stand still" feel uneasy, for fear that the prince will settle accounts in the fall.

Even Zhang Huairen lost the confidence he had before.

The powerful fighting power displayed by the feudal prince's palace was like a thorny iron whip, which hit Yize County hard, waking up a group of frogs in the well and making them realize what the bottom line was.

What happened next only intensified the anxiety.

Early in the morning, the Li Mansion was raided. All the men abolished their martial arts, were demoted as slaves, and sent to the mines to do hard labor, while the women and children were sold as slaves.

Originally, Uncle Zhong suggested that the Li family should be wiped out directly, or at worst, the children should be killed, and the women should be sent to brothels as prostitutes, so as to avoid future troubles and not give the Li family a chance to turn around.

Qian Yuan, who is influenced by modern values, is not as cold-blooded as imagined after all. He can pretend to be ruthless to kill those participating warriors, but he can't kill ordinary people who are powerless.

Especially children.

In addition, the shops, workshops and other properties of the Li family in the city, as well as the manor and farmland outside the city, were all confiscated, becoming the first batch of properties under Qianyuan's name.

In the eyes of the local people, the Li family, which was so powerful that it was inconceivable, just disappeared. Qian Yuan announced his arrival in this way, sweeping away the previous haze.

The sky in Yize County began to change color.

…………

In the afternoon, Uncle Zhong went to the county government office to announce a series of personnel adjustments on behalf of Qian Yuan.

In order to control the garrison army and the third class of yamen servants, Qian Yuan endured the pain and sent a trusted guard to replace Li Feng's vacant post of county lieutenant.

In this way, there are only six guards left around him, and if there is one less person, even the most basic Liuhe Sword Formation will not be able to form.

County Wei Zuoguan - Dian Shi, because he is considered to be half of the court official, although he is close to the Li family, he will not deal with it for the time being.It's not that Qianyuan is soft-hearted, but that the vassal king also has the scruples of the vassal king. If Qianyuan removes a court official without a valid reason, he may be impeached by the imperial censor.

Those people would not miss any opportunity to hit him.

In order to superimpose the history of the classics, the five heavyweight subordinate officials, the team leader of the three classes of yamen servants, the official of the punishment room, and the official of the military room, were all dismissed from their posts and demoted to petty officials.

Their positions are filled by other subordinates recommended by Uncle Zhong.

There is no doubt that these upstarts in the county government favored by Uncle Zhong either belong to the neutral faction, or they are simply from poor families, and they are easy to develop into Qianyuan's confidantes.

In addition, the recruiting officials who were originally under the indirect control of the Li family were replaced by newcomers, and even some subordinate officials who were close to the Li family all stood aside this time, and some were even dismissed.

Overnight, the power of the Li family in the county government was uprooted.

The structure of the county government has changed.

Faced with such a big adjustment, Zhang Huairen wanted to oppose it, even if it didn't work, he wanted to take the opportunity to seek some benefits for the family, but the remnants of the battle in the feudal prince's mansion last night were still there, so Zhang Huairen really couldn't raise the confidence to oppose it.

The adjustment of officials was completed smoothly.

As everyone knows, Qian Yuan took advantage of the situation this time. After the war, he asked Uncle Zhong to draft a list overnight, searched Li's mansion in the morning, and announced relevant personnel adjustments in the afternoon, leaving no room for Zhang Huairen and others to change.

So, the final word.

…………

The feudal prince's palace, the meeting hall.

Although the palace was badly damaged and the confiscated Li Mansion was several times more luxurious, Qianyuan still lived in the feudal prince's palace. It was not that he did not want to move to Li Mansion, but that he could not.

That's the rule of thumb.

Qian Yuan lowered his head, sitting with Uncle Zhong, Xu Chu and Zhou Qing.

Knowing that the palace was attacked, Zhou Qing rushed back with a team overnight. If he was not worried about the safety of the fortress, he would have prepared to transfer the city defense battalion to help out.

Not long after Zhou Qing came back, he came up with a plan, which was strongly supported by Uncle Zhong, that is, to form a personal guard team within a week to protect Qianyuan's safety.

"His Royal Highness's safety is the top priority, and there is no room for loss." Zhou Qing said.

According to Zhou Qing's plan, he planned to use the remaining six guards as the backbone, and then transfer the most elite soldiers from the city defense battalion to form a personal guard team with a scale of up to [-] people.

Only in this way can we barely guarantee the safety of Qianyuan and prevent the crisis of last night from happening again.

Qian Yuan thought for a while, nodded and agreed with Zhou Qing's plan, and decided to appoint Xu Chu as the captain of the personal guard. The assassination last night really made him feel lingering.

Zhou Qing and Uncle Zhong naturally had no objection.

"What about the city defense battalion?" Qian Yuan asked a difficult question.

The fifth battalion, the predecessor of the city defense battalion, had only 400 troops. When Qianyuan took over the city defense battalion, he beheaded and expelled a group of Li Xie's cronies, further expanding the shortage of troops.

Now that another hundred elites have been transferred away, the combat power of the city defense battalion is less than half of what it was at its peak.

With these soldiers alone, how can they defend against the coming invasion of Qingqiu?If the Yize pass cannot be guarded by that time, then Qianyuan, the vassal king, will be done, and there will be no day for a comeback.

"Then recruit troops."

Zhou Qing's attitude is firm, no matter what, ensuring the safety of His Royal Highness must be the first priority.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Uncle Zhong was a little worried.

Qian Yuan thought for a while, and said, "Why don't we just do this, isn't there still dozens of people in the garrison army? Take advantage of this time to adjust the county lieutenant, let's reorganize the garrison army into the city defense battalion."

"Your Highness, do you mean to re-recruit the garrison army in the future, or take the opportunity to abolish the garrison army?"

"Abolition! It is indeed necessary for the imperial court to implement two military systems, but it is too bloated for Yize County. We can take this opportunity to merge the two systems to unify command and improve efficiency."

"I agree." Uncle Zhong approved with eyes.

"That's it." Qian Yuan didn't like to procrastinate, "Of course, the recruitment still needs to be carried out, and the shortage of soldiers can't be filled just by garrisoning troops."
