Even at the last moment, Yang Shi did not intend to struggle for his own survival.
He stood at the door with his saber in hand, and before long, he encountered several Qin soldiers charging at him. His eyes widened, and he immediately brandished his saber and charged forward.
"No one is allowed to come near here!"
He roared.
"There are still those who dare to resist! Kill! "
The Qin soldiers who were in a killing frenzy charged over, brandishing their blades as they prepared to slash at Yang Shi. Yang Shi was very brave and skilled in battle. He dodged to the side and pierced his sword through the Qin soldier's waist, killing one of them. Seeing this, the rest of the Qin soldiers were enraged and surrounded him. Yang Shi blocked left and right, appearing very brave and not falling into a disadvantageous position.
Slowly, the Qin Army gathered, and when they found that there were still people resisting, they surrounded him. Yang Shi waved his saber as a last resistance, killing three Qin soldiers and wounding five. Slowly, he was pushed back to the door of Tian Xiufeng's room.
"He is risking his life to defend this place. There must be a big fish here! You are not allowed to come forward! "
A Qin general's eyes lit up, and he stopped the Qin soldiers who still wanted to attack. He waved his saber and charged forward.
"If you want to go in, you will have to step over my dead body!"
Yang Shi roared, and he began to attack the Qin general.
The two of them fought, and the other Qin soldiers only watched and did not go to help. But seeing the two of them fight fiercely, Yang Shi found that his martial strength was not as good as his opponent, and he gradually lost his strength. But the Qin general became braver as he fought.
"At a time like this, Yang Yinglong still has such a loyal and brave warrior? What is your name? "
The Qin general was surprised.
"The Heavenly King's subordinates are all loyal and brave warriors! I, Yang Shi, am not alone! "
Yang Shi roared, panting heavily as he swung his saber. His steps were messy, and it was obvious that he was at the end of his rope.
The Qin general saw this, and he took a step back, dodging to the side, and viciously slashed his saber at Yang Shi's back, creating a large wound. He then quickly stepped forward, and stabbed his saber into the waist of Yang Shi, who had just turned around.
"If that's the case, then go to hell. Dying in the hands of me, the Devil's Incarnate, Qi Dayong, is not a bad thing for you."
Qi Dayong pulled out his saber, and Yang Shi's face was filled with confusion. He swayed a few times before falling to the ground.
Blood continued to gush out from his waist, and Yang Shi felt his vision becoming very blurry.
In a trance, he seemed to see the military camp where he grew up and all the familiar people there.
Qi Dayong looked at the man who was twitching on the ground until he stopped breathing and sheathed his saber.
"Yang Shi … this is a brave warrior. Pass down my orders, give him a proper burial."
"Understood!"
Several soldiers came forward and carried Yang Shi's body away.
Qi Dayong turned around to look at the door that Yang Shi was desperately guarding. He hesitated for a moment, then ordered a few soldiers to step forward with their shields and smash open the door.
"What do you think? What's inside? "
Qi Dayong hurriedly asked.
"There are corpses everywhere!"
A soldier rushed out to report.
"Corpses?"
Qi Dayong walked forward and entered the room. He smelled the thick smell of blood, and when he looked, he saw that the ground was covered with the corpses of women and children.
There were about 50 corpses of women and children, as well as wine cups and jugs scattered on the ground, as well as white silk and daggers. What was left was a female corpse sitting on a chair, her body slanted, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth.
Clearly, they had all died of poison. Qi Dayong saw the empty wine jugs on the ground and knew everything.
However, it seemed that a few of them had been killed. There were wounds on their bodies, and a lot of blood was flowing.
The others had died in a disorderly manner on the ground, and only one had died on a chair. Was this person's identity different from others?
But no matter what, Qi Dayong had a rough idea of who this group of people was.
Yang Yinglong's family.
They were smart and decisive, committing suicide before the army arrived, so as to avoid suffering and possibly being humiliated.
But Qi Dayong was very unhappy. So many walking meritorious people had died in front of him. If they were all alive, Qi Dayong was even confident that he could directly obtain the title of Duke this time.
"Pass down my order, search the entire palace, dig three feet into the ground, and if you see anyone, do not kill without permission. Try to capture them alive!"
"Yes!"
A few soldiers rushed out.
Now, Qi Dayong was hoping that there were still people alive, so that they could become his meritorious deeds. Of course, that outstanding beauty of Yang Yinglong's daughter … there were also many young and beautiful women here. Could it be that his daughter had also died here?
That would be too much of a pity.
Qi Dayong was even a little mad, blaming himself for not rushing over earlier to capture these women and children who wanted to commit suicide by poison!
Such a great meritorious deed!
Qi Dayong was very depressed, and even had the urge to kill someone.
Now, he could only hope that some good-for-nothings who didn't have the guts to commit suicide were still alive, so that they could give him a little comfort.
The Qin Army quickly swept the palace, captured a group of people, and killed some who wanted to resist. After a preliminary exploration, they found extremely amazing wealth.
Mountains of gold and silver were piled up in those warehouses, and batches of boxes were filled with jade and bronze wares, as well as countless paintings and calligraphy.
The Yang Family's 724 years of accumulation were all here, and they had never been lost.
As for the rewards given to the native soldiers of Bozhou, after those native soldiers were killed, they all became the trophies of the Qin Army.
Based on these preliminary discoveries, Zheng Ying asked his staff to estimate the value of these things after he arrived, and they were estimated to be worth three to five million taels of silver. The cost of this expedition was finally recovered, and there was still a lot left, which could be used to reward the soldiers, and could also be used to subsidize the national treasury.
Anyway, the generals of the Qin Army trusted Xiao Ruxun very much. Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Ruxun had never been stingy with rewards, and he didn't care about his own enjoyment, but he cared about his subordinates very much. Therefore, the generals and veterans didn't doubt that Xiao Ruxun didn't allow them to snatch it on the spot, because he wanted to keep it for himself.
Therefore, under the leadership of Xiao Ruxun, the new Qin Army began to implement this policy, which had never happened in ancient times, under the leadership of Xiao Ruxun.
Xiao Ruxun would also maintain this policy, as an important symbol of the improvement of military discipline and the strengthening of organization of the army towards modern times.
Soon, Zheng Ying was stationed in Yang Yinglong's new palace, where he began to work and restore the order of the army.
The military officers also restored the order of the army in the shortest time possible. All the soldiers returned to their units and left the palace, leaving only the gendarmerie under Zheng Ying's command to stay in the palace to continue the search and statistics.
The concept of gendarmerie was mentioned more than once by Xiao Ruxun. They were the guardians of military discipline on the battlefield and the executors of military law, which was the traditional concept of supervising troops in the eyes of the generals.
But in Xiao Ruxun's view, the name of supervising troops could continue to be used, but gendarmerie was definitely not just a simple concept.
Xiao Ruxun was working hard to promote the formalization and organization of the gendarmerie, which would be officially established in the reorganization of the seven battalions soon.
