Bai Feng looked at the group of "Jiangdong nobles" kneeling on the ground in front of him and secretly calculated in his heart.
The reason why he kept this group of people was because he had some small ideas.
This idea might not succeed.
But he could give it a try.
And that was to take this group of people for his own use.
In other words, he could take some of them for his own use.
These people could actually be considered members of aristocratic families.
It was just that the people inside might be collateral relatives or invisible people in the family.
Some of them might also be guards or trusted aides of the family.
It was actually very difficult to see the specific details of this group of people here, including the sentence Bai Feng asked just now.
"Who is the son of an aristocratic family?"
This sentence was just to test the waters.
It didn't matter who answered. What was important was who among them made eye contact.
After asking this question just now, many of them looked at each other.
It was not until one of them nodded or shook his head that the other person opened his mouth to speak.
There were also a few people who looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward voluntarily.
Bai Feng saw these small movements clearly.
Some people quietly made a gesture, and the people next to them stepped forward.
Some people gently shook their heads and stepped forward.
The 20 people who stepped forward could be considered to be more than 20 aristocratic families in the Jiangdong Army!
In Jiangdong, there were as many aristocratic families as there were hairs on an ox.
These 20 aristocratic families could only be considered to be temporary in this military camp.
There should be a group of people who were more reliable and were still lurking among the surrendered troops of Jiangdong.
As for why this group of people wanted to collude with the surrendered troops last night, Bai Feng also understood very well.
As long as this group of people could bring a part of the Jiangdong Army back to their families, it would be a great contribution!
Although it sounded like a fantasy story, this group of people really thought so.
Last night, Bai Feng only had 3,000 men who could be used.
Many of the Jiangdong Army were managed separately, and it was difficult for them to become a big force in a short period of time.
Therefore, this group of people thought of taking a risk to turn the tables and gain some benefits for themselves.
As for why they took this risk, the reason was very simple.
This group of people had been abandoned by their families.
If there was any chance for them to return to their families, it would be worth fighting for!
Of course, being willing to take the risk didn't mean that they weren't afraid of death.
After all, only by being alive could one enjoy the benefits of the clan.
Bai Feng wanted to use such people.
However, even if they were to be used, they had to use those who were afraid of death. Those who had been abandoned by their families and were sent to be small leaders of the Jiangdong Army.
Or rather, they were scared out of their wits.
Some people, after experiencing great fear, would cherish their lives more than anything else.
If he was given a chance to live, he would even be willing to treat himself like a dog.
However, he didn't know how many people like that there were.
In this era, under the general environment and basic morals, there were still many people who were willing to exchange their deaths for a reputation.
This matter could be considered as an additional small plan.
If he succeeded, then it would bring him some benefits in the future.
Even if it didn't work, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Bai Feng sighed softly.
"You guys. You're dishonest. "
"I asked you to stand out because I'm giving you a chance to live."
"At the same time, let me see the strength of character of the aristocratic families."
"The result is really disappointing!"
"Are the descendants of the aristocratic families so afraid of death?"
Bai Feng finished speaking and was about to walk out.
He thought silently in his heart.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
"Begin!"
A few people from the Jiangdong aristocratic families who were originally kneeling behind him suddenly stood up!
They said loudly,
"General, please wait!"
"We are the descendants of the aristocratic families of Jiujiang County!"
"Do you have anything to say?"
Bai Feng stopped in her tracks. Before she could turn around, she heard a few more voices behind her.
The 100,000 Jiangdong Army was originally the main force of the three Jiangdong Counties, Jiujiang County, Danyang County, and Lujiang County.
These three counties, plus the Wu County that Bai Feng had just occupied, could be considered half of the entire Jiangdong.
In fact, it could be said that these four counties added together were not as big as Kuaiji County.
However, ten Kuaiji Counties were not as important as these four places!
Whether it was the taxes, the population, or the money and food from these four places. They could all be considered rich.
Although the other two counties were large, they did not have a lot of people and money and food.
As for Jingzhou and Jiaozhou.
As an important strategic area, Jingzhou was not within Bai Feng's consideration for the time being.
Sooner or later, Liu Bei would enter Jingzhou.
Jiaozhou was the 'land of exile' in the eyes of the current people.
It was not a good place at all.
As long as the aristocratic families in these four counties were dealt with first, the rest could be considered not a big problem!
Bai Feng turned around and looked at the group of aristocratic families again.
"Not bad, you still have some backbone."
"Now, I'll ask you a few questions."
"Whoever answers or nods in agreement will live."
"Those who don't agree will die!"
The expressions of the group of Jiangdong aristocratic families changed!
Bai Feng, this murderous star!
His murderous intent was too strong!
Why did he want to kill people at the drop of a hat!
In addition to the fear in their hearts, the group of aristocratic families could not help but straighten up and listen carefully to Bai Feng's next words.
"Among you, are there any who are willing to set up a new family?"
"Are there any who are willing to follow me?"
"Are there any who are willing?"
"Use your own family as a sign of allegiance?"
When these three sentences were said, all the aristocratic families in Jiangdong could not help but take a deep breath!
Bai Feng was crazy!
What was he trying to do?
Did he want to directly eliminate the aristocratic families in Jiangdong!
The aristocratic families in Jiangdong did not only have money and food in their hands.
What was more powerful was that they had enough industries and connections!
If you wanted to be an official in Jiangdong, without great ability, it was impossible to compete with the aristocratic families' descendants!
Even if the people nurtured by the aristocratic families fell, it did not mean that the entire family fell!
As long as there was enough land, money, and food.
To maintain the relationship between the aristocratic families.
Then the aristocratic families could not be defeated!
If this generation did not become talented, there was still the next generation.
If the next generation did not become talented, the accumulation of the entire family was enough to support the next generation!
As long as there was one person who could be brought out, the entire family would do their best to push him up!
If one person prospered, the entire family prospered!
Later on, why did it say that the high-ranking officials would punish the three ancestors and nine generations?
It was because they wanted the family to be directly disbanded!
Without a backbone, the family could not be considered a family. It could only be considered a relative.
These three sentences of Bai Feng's were asking these people to hand over their family's matters and establish a new family clan in their own hands.
