The combined population of the twenty cities is about 80!
At this time, the power of faith that Li Yi gained every day has reached a new height!
More than nine thousand points!
Entering Dashang this time, Li Yi spent a lot of power of faith!
It cost more than 6000 points of power of faith just to use healing techniques on him, his thirty top subordinates, and their divine horses!
In addition, subduing and upgrading a large number of subordinates also consumes about [-] points of power of faith!
However, with the power of faith harvested the day before, most of them have already returned!
Of course, Li Yi could have obtained more than 700 points of power of faith from Baiyue and Hulugu's subordinates. After subtracting these, Li Yi actually still has half of the money to pay back!
However, it's only a day or two!
April eleven.
The number of cities captured by Li Yi and his party has reached 25. One of them is the state city. There are 15 people.
On this day, Li Yi and his party also blocked some local state soldiers who were supporting the cities.
The strength of the top figures is too strong, and they are fully armed, and the general army cannot resist them at all. They are even more invincible in small-scale battles and street battles.
Many state soldiers were defeated and retreated steadily, unable to recover the city at all.
On this day, the news also spread to the capital.
Emperor Hongwu was furious, he slapped the battle report on the imperial case, and said angrily: "This is a provocation! Naked provocation! Twenty cities were taken in two days. The guards in each city and the state soldiers in various places are all full of wine bags and rice bags? To let the opponent take down the city so easily?"
If the entire city of Dashang was defended like this, wouldn't it be easily conquered by the opponent?
Chapter 188: Li Dadao Comes to Vote
Some ministers were very embarrassed when they heard this, and some of them were quite clear about the ins and outs of the matter. It is said that Li Yi and his father Li Yu were originally Juren and scholars of the dynasty, and they were scholars from generation to generation.
In the end, because of a woman, King Jin captured Li Yi's father and planted him for rebellion. When the government ransacked his family and wiped out his family, Li Yi escaped and then really rebelled.
Now, it is normal for Da Shang to keep attacking the opponent and the opponent fights back.
Could it be that they are only allowed to make a move, and the other party can't bear it one by one while sitting upright?
"Your Majesty, I think it's because soldiers from all over the state are not allowed to easily enter the city and cannot participate in the defense of the city. I also hope that the emperor can order that soldiers from all over the state can participate in the defense of the city, especially the cities in and around Liangzhou. It is the top masters who send all the elite soldiers to intercept and kill the opponent, because according to the content of the battle report, the enemy attacked the city with top masters, and the opponents have horses, so it is difficult for ordinary troops to siege They, therefore, the old minister suggested that when the top experts of the elite soldiers go, it is best to ride the horse again."
A five or sixty-year-old minister bowed his hand.
"I also suggest this, only elite soldiers can deal with elite soldiers"
A first-rank minister also took a step forward, cupping his hands.
"minister"
The other ministers also spoke one after another, and most of them spoke similar words.
"Everyone, draw up a charter as soon as possible, and I will approve this matter!"
Emperor Hongwu said coldly.
Horses are expensive!
But for big merchants with strong national power, it's nothing!
The various taxes of the big merchants add up every year, which is equivalent to more than 5 million taels of silver!
The tribute paid by the small countries in the four directions and the major forces is also equivalent to more than 2 million taels of silver!
The only difference is that there are not enough horses in the entire Dashang!
Two months ago, the Great Shang court had issued an order to the small countries and forces in the four directions to give priority to paying tribute to the horse!
Experts are also being recruited aggressively!
With a population of more than 6 million, no one can imagine what kind of terrifying power can erupt with one order!
In Emperor Hongwu's heart, he was also ambitious!
It has been 100 years since Dashang founded the country, and many strata have solidified. This turmoil also made him see the greater potential of Dashang!
However, because of this, the siege of Li Yi and his party made him even more angry.
The big merchant is so powerful, how dare the other party pluck the hair out of his mouth?
April twelfth.
Da Shang, the five elite soldiers moved together.
Li Yi ignored these things, and just let his subordinates continue to attack the city and loot the land.
And, he gave an order.
Open warehouses to release grain.
All the captured cities were opened to release grain and distributed to the people who went to worship him.
Not only food, but also money.
Except for the gold and silver that took up little storage space, the bulky copper coins and other materials were all distributed to the people.
In this way, even if the Great Shang Dynasty regained the cities and wanted to maintain the operation of the major cities, it would still need to consume a lot of resources.
Moreover, every commoner, after sharing the food and money, is considered to be directly on the side of the thief boat, and the heart of resistance is not so heavy.
Against whom?After you collected the money and food, aren't you afraid that after the Great Shang court recovers the city, they will take away the money and food distributed to you?
In addition, as long as they worship Li Yi or Li Yi's statue on time and don't cause trouble, Li Yi's subordinates will never disturb the people.
Some people who shared the money and food even hoped that Li Yi and his party would not leave, and hoped that the Great Shang court would not take back the city.
Therefore, the power of faith obtained by Li Yi has also been greatly improved, faintly reaching the average line of power of faith provided by the population of Baiyue and Hulugu.
It's just one stroke.
Sure enough, naked interests are the things that change people's hearts the most.
April fifteen.
In a few days, Li Yi and his party crossed three states and captured 45 cities in total.
Li Yi and his party did not attack some difficult big cities and cities with strong defenses.
Only attack small towns that are easy to take.
When encountering the elite soldiers of the Great Shang court, they didn't even meet each other face to face, and just bypassed them.
Afterwards, Li Yi did not let his men attack new cities.
Just try to maintain the operation of these cities, and try to delay the recovery of some cities.
Li Yi is destined to be difficult to take away these subordinates in the city.
Therefore, when Li Yi subdued these people, each of them issued a mask, and when they left or the city was recovered by the big merchants, these people would return to their original identities.
Perhaps, some people will be found.
However, more minions will not be found.
These subordinates staying in these cities will become nails one by one. When he returns to these cities in the future, it will be easier to win and manage these cities!
Three states!
They are Liangzhou, Qingzhou and Yangzhou!
The nails that Li Yi had planted in Qingzhou and Yangzhou had worked!
The most powerful nail, let a 1000-strong state soldier team directly belong to him!
Perhaps, the combined force of these 1000 people is not strong, but it represents a great significance!
What's more, Li Yi only brought thirty top subordinates into Dashang, what was missing was his subordinates!
Most of these 1000 people can be used directly!
That is, the time is short. If the time is longer, the effect of these nails will be greater!
The three states are in turmoil. In normal times, some ambitious forces should be ready to move.
However, with a large number of examples some time ago, many forces just dare not think about it.
I just watched Heifengzhai's actions enviously, and listened to the shocking achievements of Heifengzhai.
Perhaps the other party should not be called Heifengzhai, but Daganguo!
What kind of prestige and domineering thing is it to build a country and proclaim itself emperor, and sweep the big shopping mall pool?
This is the pinnacle of the green forest power!
Yangzhou.
Yan County.
More than a dozen miles away, in a dilapidated temple, some people in ragged clothes gathered together, listening to a middle-aged man say happily: "I think back then, I and this head of Heifengzhai, who is now Dagan Kingdom The emperor Li Yi, in Qinglongzhai, is called brother and brother, and they have a very happy conversation."
If Li Yi were here, he would recognize that this middle-aged man was Li Dadao, the head of the Heavenly Slayer Gang in Yan County.
Last year, Qinglongzhai was destroyed, and the imperial court suppressed the green forest forces in Qingyang and Yang Prefectures. The Tiansha gang was also beaten badly. Fortunately, the people Li Dadao met in the government usually had their status in the government and their friendship with him. Yes, he was notified in time to let him escape, but the entire Heavenly Killing Gang is also completely over.
This is not bad.
Many green forest forces have been wiped out from top to bottom.
He is still alive to this day, and he still has some subordinates following him, so he is very lucky.
"Master Li, since you are so familiar with that Master Li Yi, we might as well join him. I heard that Heifengzhai and Qinglongzhai are doing well in Baiyue, and the 10,000+ Western Expeditionary Army of Dashang was defeated by them. It collapsed, and now, in just a few days, the opponent has even attacked dozens of cities."
One of his subordinates linked up.
"That's right, that's exactly what I mean, what do you think?" Li Dadao slapped his thigh and said.
"We all listen to the boss."
Many subordinates linked up.
The Heavenly Killing Gang has been wiped out, and they have no foundation. They can still follow Li Dadao until now. Most of them are loyal to Li Dadao, or they really have no place to go.
"Big head, I won't go, I want to stay in Yan County"
"The head of the family, I don't want to leave Yan County either"
However, people are different and each has concerns, some people just hesitated.
The strength of Heifengzhai is certainly very strong.
However, the big tree attracts the wind, and the Black Wind Village has become the enemy of the Dashang court.
It's hard to say whether they can survive, even if they can survive, before that, I don't know how many fights they will have to go through. They survived and don't want to experience any more risks.
"Okay, brothers, if you want to stay, I won't force you to stay. This is 100 taels of silver. You can share it! Only blame me, the boss, for not leading the Heavenly Killing Gang well, so that you can't take care of your old age." Fa Lao, I hope you don't blame me!" Li Dadao said with a sigh.
While speaking, he took out a package from his side and opened it.
Inside the package was an ingot of snowflake silver.
"The master"
All the subordinates were moved.
Immediately, two more subordinates who had just said that they did not want to leave Yan County expressed their willingness to leave Yan County with Li Dadao.
It is not difficult for Li Dadao to find Li Yi.
All you need is to find a city that was captured by Li Yi and his party.
However, because Li Yi no longer needed to come to these cities every day to collect the power of faith.
It was already April eighteenth when Li Yi saw Li Dadao.
"Brother Li, you're fine, it's really great!"
Li Yi laughed loudly.
His appreciation for Li Dadao is good. After Qinglongzhai was robbed, he asked some green forest forces for information about him. Unfortunately, he never found out. Unexpectedly, the other party was fine and came to him on his own initiative.
Li Yi is naturally happy to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign land.
"Your Majesty, you dare not call me like that again. Da Dao is now here to join the Emperor, and I hope that the Emperor will take me in."
