Take the Empire To the Other World

After more than half an hour passed, the captain of the town guard who was still at the top of the city was pacing back and forth anxiously. The mayor had asked him to lead people here to stand guard here, but the last time given by the army outside was almost up. not coming?

"Report~~~

Captain, it's not good, the mayor has escaped by boat with his family and servants! "

"What?! Tell me again!"

The captain of the town guard stared and grabbed the clothes of the messenger soldier in front of him and scolded.

"Team...captain, the mayor fled with his family and servants by boat..."

"Damn it, the people of Zhaowu's family are a bunch of cowards, all of them are there, prepare to...

Open the door and surrender! "

The captain of the town guard saw the line infantry in blue uniforms outside the city starting to form an offensive formation, and he gave the order to surrender very sincerely...

The surrounding soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing the order, and then conveyed the order to other city leaders like a festival.

The order to surrender must be spread throughout Tomato Town, in case someone who does not open his eyes shoots at the army outside the city and causes misunderstanding, everyone in the whole town will be buried with him!

Commanding the army, Maupassant, who was quickly promoted to temporary general by Li Cha because he didn't take the lives of the soldiers seriously, smiled coldly when he saw Tomato Town open, and ordered: "The whole army enters the city and searches the entire town. , Confiscate all weapons and ammunition, and kill anyone who encounters resistance on the spot!

Well, the name is that for the sake of public security and stability, our Royal Army issued a ban on guns, and no one can hold gunpowder weapons.

everyone! "

Maupassant's orders were quickly and meticulously conveyed. These French line infantry from different dimensions will never compromise their orders. After all, they are not real human beings themselves, and they are bound by the employment rules of different dimensions. As long as Wang Ziming does not violate the contract They are the most loyal and brave soldiers!

After the brigade of French infantry in blue uniforms poured into Tomato Town, the town guards in Tomato Town were quickly disarmed. However, Maupassant did not break his promise, as long as he did not resist, no one would be hurt.

Although Zhao Wu was not caught to kill the mayor, Maupassant was not angry, and he didn't even have any emotional fluctuations in his heart. After all, in the eyes of this general with an army of tens of thousands, the life and death of a mere mayor was of no importance at all.

What he needs are the weapons in Tomato Town and the gunsmith workshop!

Yes, Tomato Town, as the largest trading town on the verge of Devil Mountain, naturally has a gunsmith workshop that can imitate the Longzheng rifle.

Although the scale of this manual workshop is small, the master craftsmen inside can make Longzheng rifles, provided that there are enough raw materials!

Naturally, Wang Ziming would not allow the French line infantry to keep using backward flintlock rifles. It would be a matter of time before they replaced them with Longzheng rifles. However, the number of French line infantry was too large. Even with the Longzheng Rifle, even the entire Colonial District of Reese City can't make it together!

But small changes are still possible.

Now hundreds of the main force of the French line of infantry heading towards Rees have replaced the captured Longzheng rifles and used them as special arms.

In addition to the gunsmith workshop, Tomato Town also has a manual production workshop for Longzheng rifle ammunition.

In addition, the large amount of food stored in the warehouse of Tomato Town is also a material that Wang Ziming values!

After sealing up the large warehouse in Tomato Town, the first to suffer were those merchants who hadn't had time to escape.

As long as the supplies in the hands of these merchants are useful, they will all be requisitioned by the Royal Army, and the compensation given is the black and white IOUs issued by the French line infantry...

Oh, by the way, there is also the Zilong Federation currency that Wang Ziming looted from the town, which is of little use to Wang Ziming.

However, there are not many merchants who can receive federal currency, because those federal currencies were paid to damaged civilians in the subsequent gun collection campaign.

Obviously, Maupassant treated the townspeople and merchants differently. The merchants received mostly useless IOUs, while the residents received federal currency.

Who told the merchants that the goods were of high value, while the residents only had to hand over their guns and ammunition?

In fact, those IOUs were comforting, and Maupassant had no intention of repaying them at all. They didn't even have the seal of Wang Jiajun on them, so anyone could forge them!

But under the sharp bayonet, what else can those businessmen do except deliver the goods and collect the IOUs?

No matter how dishonest you are, you will have to give up your life!

After completing the ban on guns, Maupassant used the goods he had just robbed and federal currency to gather a group of small-town tailors to start making the banner of the Royal Army.

That is to say, a military flag with the word "king" drawn on it.

In the Zilong Federation, the general private army of nobles will use their family's surname as their banner.

After all, not all nobles can own a noble private army.

Except for the garrison of troops in Tomato Town, Maupassant did not cause much damage to Tomato Town. The disarmed town guard and the original prisoners of the town (including Hu Jianguo's soldiers) were all escorted to the Devil Mountain.

These people are different from ordinary residents and businessmen, they are all soldiers who can fight, so naturally Wang Ziming can't let them go!

So Tong Tong pulled him to work as a miner in the Devil's Mountains!

Today, the guards in the Devil's Mountain Range are very sufficient, and even the senior Swedish town militia and Swedish pistol cavalry are still actively looking for demonized creatures on the outskirts of the Devil's Mountain Range to encircle and clean them.

The outskirts of Devil Mountain are almost being turned into a military stronghold by Wang Ziming!

So as long as these people enter the Devil's Mountain Range, they will never get out without Wang Ziming's nod...

On the official road to Reese City, Wang Ziming rode on a tall horse that was snatched from nowhere... and Wang Le was responsible for holding the reins for him to move forward slowly.

The speed of Wang Ziming riding a horse was much slower than that of the French line infantry who were constantly surpassing around him. The main reason was that Wang Ziming didn't want to hurt his butt, so he let the horse slow down to reduce the bumps.

Wang Ziming, who was on the march, soon met the team of captives captured by Tomato Town, which was pressed back.

Then Wang Ziming asked Wang Le to identify people.

It didn't take long for Wang Le to bring the dejected Hu Jianguo over.

Wang Ziming glanced at the purple color on Hu Jianguo's face and Wang Le's smug expression, his eyes couldn't help becoming weird.

This Wang Le's revenge is very heavy, and the attack is too ruthless...

"Master, I have already interrogated him. He is the leader of this conspiracy. His real name is Hu Jianguo. He is a confidant of Li Chengdong, a second-generation army in Reese City. His mission this time is to pretend to be a bandit and enter the Devil's Mountain Range to kill the young master."

Wang Le explained concisely.

"Li Chengdong? Who is he? Why did you kill me?"

Wang Ziming, who thought Hu Jianguo was the dog of Yuwen's family, couldn't help being startled.
