I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

When he heard that the rescue army had arrived outside the government office, Ma Wenchang turned around and left.

However, before he could take two steps, Wang Chao kicked open the gate and rushed in.

Wang Chao took two steps at a time and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Ma Wenchang.

With a flash of knife light, the cold, blood-stained long knife was already placed on Ma Wenchang's neck.

Feeling the coldness on his neck, Ma Wenchang suddenly stopped in his tracks. His face turned extremely pale and his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"laugh!"

The Qing Dynasty had so many people joining, let alone these orthodox Ming forces?

The entire Lintao Prefecture is now shrouded in spiritual power.

Thinking of this, Wang Chao couldn't help but look thoughtful. It seemed that those landlords and gentry also needed to be cleaned up.

In the future, as long as they can gain a firm foothold, given the nature of those scholars, there will definitely be people joining them.

Posting notices to reassure the people, taking complete control of the city's defense, etc. all need to be arranged one by one.

"Oh, you really have some guts.

This salvation army, which was said to only attack rural villages, actually captured an entire city. This was truly outrageous.

From the time the sun rose to noon, the war in Lintao Prefecture had gradually stopped.

After being reminded, the soldier who was holding Ma Wenchang suddenly realized that his collar seemed to be strangling Ma Wenchang's neck, almost suffocating him, so he hurriedly picked him up.

Since Wang Chao and his men want to completely occupy this place, they have to consider the legality when doing many things.

Monitoring so many people at the same time means too much information to process. Even the soul of the dynasty after its successive transformations would find it difficult to bear for a while.

Wang Chao sneered and shook the bloody sword.

"Tsk! That's tantamount to treason and rebellion?"

Unable to help himself, Ma Wenchang closed his eyes tightly, pretending to ignore it.

Listening to these reports, Wang Chao's eyebrows twitched. This Lintao Prefecture is indeed very rich.

This will surely attract the imperial army to encircle and suppress us, right?

The lower-class residents were okay with the Salvation Army occupying the city, although they were a little worried, but they also heard that the Salvation Army would only attack the landlords and their relatives.

Being dragged by the collar and hearing everyone's laughter, Ma Wenchang felt so ashamed and angry that his face turned red and he almost fainted.

"Ma Wenchang? Magistrate Ma?"

I'm afraid the big share is still in the hands of those landlords and gentry?

Wang Chao suddenly had an idea and asked, "What did you think of?"

Although not as wealthy as a country, he can definitely be said to be extremely wealthy.

For the time being, there shouldn't be any major trouble.

He was about to be strangled to death, but he didn't even struggle."

"Ok!"

“Tsk, you still have some backbone!

I just don’t know how long your courage can last.”

"Were all the gold and silver found in the treasury?"

Moreover, these are only the gold and silver supplies in the government.

what's the situation?

How come the owner of such a huge city like Lintao changed in just half a day?

The truth is that most of the garrison troops in Lintao Prefecture had been transferred to suppress bandits, and the remaining ones were basically old, weak, sick and disabled.

Ma Wenchang, who was pushed by the rescue soldiers, staggered forward suddenly and almost fell to the ground.

The soldiers who rushed in following Wang Chao immediately saluted and accepted the order.

But didn't they say that the Salvation Army would only attack rural areas? Why did they occupy Lintao Prefecture now?

This is really a case of if you don't make a sound, you will be a big hit!

However, it is also because of this that they have a great degree of resistance to the restraint and erosion of spiritual power.

"You you you

Humph! Traitors, the Ming army has arrived and will wipe you out in an instant."

"Only a small part of it was in the treasury, about 500,000 taels. The remaining 1 million taels were found in Ma Wenchang's home."

It's not that the Ming Dynasty was without money. It's just that the money was not in the hands of the country or the emperor, but in the hands of the officials and landlords.

The person who reported it was slightly stunned at first, then he said with a wry smile:

When the residents of Lintao Prefecture discovered that there seemed to be no movement outside, they cautiously stuck their heads out of their homes to find out what was happening outside.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to collect it through spiritual power, which made Wang Chao feel very regretful.

When thinking of this, Wang Chao couldn't help but look up at the sky, with a mysterious smile on his face.

After completely occupying Lintao Prefecture, spiritual power has also completely enveloped Lintao Prefecture.

"You, you, you are so bold! Do you know that trespassing into the government office is tantamount to treason and rebellion?"

What made Wang Chao feel a little regretful was that even though the souls of the Ming soldiers killed by the rescue army were covered by spiritual power, Wang Chao had no way to collect them into his consciousness space.

It seems that due to the advancement of heaven and earth, the souls born now will not erase all self-consciousness at the first time.

However, it is only necessary to use spiritual power when necessary, and cooperate with the intelligence personnel of the Military Intelligence Department to control their every move.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chao also chuckled.

How could Dynasty not use spiritual power, a perfect surveillance weapon?

As for this, would all the landlords and gentry oppose their salvation army? Would those scholars with official titles refuse to join them, leaving them without enough talents to manage the occupied areas?

Anyway, the rural areas are now temporarily managed by agricultural cooperatives.

Wang Chao gave the order while putting away his sword.

If there are any, just cut them all off.

Wang Chao took another look, shook his head and walked out.

Of course, it's still swollen and red.

"Come here, take down our prefect.

Imprison him with his family."

No matter what, they are all people of the Ming Dynasty. They should be better than the Manchu Tartars who are barbarians to them, right?

It seems that the Ming Dynasty collected a lot of tax revenue.

Then I guess they wouldn't do anything too extreme to ordinary people like them in the city, right?

In short, these new souls, unless the dynasty is right next to them.

Otherwise, we can only wait for them to dissipate on their own and transform into original spiritual power, and then we can use spiritual power to erode and transform them.

Not only would they not oppress the common people, but they would also help them with farming.

Therefore, the battle in Lintao Prefecture was completely over by noon.

But to be honest, given the nature of those landlords and gentry, it probably shouldn't be difficult for them to find excuses.

"Ah~?"

The only thing to consider now is what excuse to use to clean them up.

"Let's go! Your Excellency the Prefect!"

But the shrill laughter around him kept drilling into his ears, and his face had turned red.

While walking out, Wang Chao thought about the historical records that some scholars in the late Ming Dynasty surrendered to the Qing Dynasty faster than a fence-sitter. He looked up to Ma Wenchang.

The cities could be put under military control and directly governed by their Salvation Army.

Looking at Ma Wenchang whose legs were trembling, the man couldn't help but laugh.

In an instant, everyone burst into laughter.

"Haha, it's not that the prefect doesn't want to go, it's that his legs are too weak to walk."

After several soldiers of the People's Rescue Army walked up to Ma Wenchang, they looked at him standing still and couldn't help but reach out and push him, calling him "Mr. Prefect" but their tone was full of sarcasm.

The original wealthy businessmen and gentry in the city, as well as the landlords who moved in later, were extremely panicked.

However, this may not be a good thing for him.

Because the souls of the two of them were in the dynasty's consciousness space, being taught by Yun Bing in the barracks, explaining their current situation.

Fortunately, a militiaman nearby was quick-witted and grabbed the collar of his neck, preventing him from falling.

Wang Chao sat in the lobby of Lintao Prefecture's government office, listening to the people's reports on the war.

He had already used his spiritual power to find out the casualties of the Salvation Army.

The real big money is in the hands of officials and wealthy businessmen.

In addition, the dynasty had arranged for people to enter the city disguised as civilians in advance. The sudden attack gave the defenders of Lintao Prefecture no time to react, and the city walls and gates had already been occupied by the salvation army.

Even if there were still small groups of soldiers resisting, they were quickly wiped out.

In the east of the city, the Cui Mansion is the richest family in Lintao Prefecture.

When attacking Lintao Prefecture, Wang Chao had already controlled the spread of spiritual power.

It’s a pity that none of these benefit the common people.

Moreover, of the more than 500,000 vehicles in the government treasury, only a very small part of them are actually used or handed in, right?

If they took some money from both sides, the treasury would only have the equivalent of a few tens of thousands of taels.

Wang Chao nodded suddenly, this was understandable.

Ma Wenchang gradually came to his senses, looked at the blood-stained long knife in front of him, and couldn't help but shrink his neck back, but still stiffened his neck and scolded.

"Hahaha"

There are still many things waiting for him to deal with in Lintao Prefecture today.

The only pity is that it is impossible for Wang Chao to monitor in real time.

Many of them also knew about the Salvation Army.

The truth is that Ma Wenchang and Zheng Wanchun did not expect that anyone would attack the capital of Lintao Prefecture.

"Oh!"

Listening to the report below, Wang Chao nodded.

While Wang Chao was looking inward in his consciousness space and observing the communication between Yun Bing and the other two, the reports from below continued.

Unless Wang Chao pays special attention and directly manipulates the spiritual power to crush them and completely grind them into original spiritual power, they can be eroded and transformed.

"Chief, we lost two brothers this time, five or six were seriously injured, and more than ten were slightly injured."

".Our army killed 83 enemy soldiers and captured 359.

There were also Ma Wenchang and his family and servants, a total of 63 people

The total amount of gold and silver seized was more than 1.56 million taels.

One hundred thousand shi of food supplies."

Seeing this scene, Wang Chao couldn't help but sneer.

Ma Wenchang, who managed to stand, finally felt better. His face, which had turned red and purple, gradually calmed down.

However, he still had some psychological strength, at least he didn't faint.

"Uh"

When they learned about the current situation in Lintao Prefecture through the notices issued everywhere to reassure the people, they were all stunned with shock.

However, as the spiritual power continues to erode and transform the original spiritual power generated by the residents of Lintao Prefecture, I believe that the spiritual power will soon be replenished and even surpass before.

Especially the two people who died, Wang Wu and Zheng Kaishan.

However, due to the increase in coverage area, the originally rich spiritual power instantly became thin.

"Isn't that obvious enough?"

Ma Wenchang was speechless for a moment, then turned his head and snorted coldly, and spoke with his neck stiff.

By the afternoon, with the help of spiritual power, Wang Chao had completely taken control of the entire Lintao Prefecture.

"Hey, if you keep carrying him like this, he's going to pass out."

"Yes!"

Of course, it is not necessarily the case that Ma Wenchang was so ashamed and angry that he lost the will to live in a moment of excitement.

When he comes to his senses, he may not have the courage he had just now.

With the existence of spiritual power, it is extremely easy to discover the little movements of these landlords and gentry.

In the main hall of the Cui Mansion, the head of the family, Cui Wenxiu, sat with a solemn expression on his face. The top-quality tea beside him had already gone a little cold.

However, Cui Wenxiu didn't even have the intention to touch it. She just looked outside the hall from time to time, waiting anxiously in her heart.
