"Just imagine, if your family had so much land, what kind of good life would you lead?"
The moment Yang Wei finished speaking, all the officers and soldiers on the city wall began to feel a little shaken.
Why do people work in the government? Isn't it just to eat and support their families?
Without the clothes on their bodies, they are just ordinary people.
Now when I hear Yang Wei's words again, I am deeply shocked.
But some people were skeptical and whispered to the people around them,
"Hey, Lao Ba, tell me, is what that person said true?"
"I know this, it should be true. One of my aunts lives in Yangzhou. I heard that her family of four has been allocated more than ten acres of high-quality farmland!"
"Ah?! Is this true?!"
"They are Qingfeng Village. Think about the name of Qingfeng Village. Do they have any reason to lie to us soldiers?"
After these words were spoken, many people present began to waver.
"That……"
"Don't worry, let's hear what the county lord has to say."
"..."
Many of the officers and soldiers defending the city wall began to discuss in low voices.
When Qiu Dahai heard what Yang Wei said, he immediately felt something was wrong.
Looking around, he found that many officers and soldiers had a look of confusion and hesitation in their eyes.
If I let the other person continue talking, I'm afraid it won't take long before I even have time to speak.
He hurriedly shouted to everyone,
"Don't listen to this thief's nonsense. He is trying to deceive you and make you lose the will to fight!"
"Qingfeng Village has always been brutal and cruel. As soon as they entered Yangzhou, they brutally slaughtered thousands of innocent people. Don't be fooled by them!"
Many officers and soldiers who did not know the truth could not help but hesitate when they heard this.
But at this moment, Yang Wei in front of the moat suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"County Magistrate Qiu, you are truly a man of talent! But you are right. When we from Qingfeng Village entered Yangzhou, we killed over a thousand people!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar on the city wall.
But at this moment, Yang Wei continued to shout with the loud speaker,
"But why don't you tell me who those thousand or so people are?"
"They are all a group of high-ranking gentry and wealthy families. They rely on their wealth to exploit the common people. How many innocent people have died tragically at their hands?"
"Why don't you tell me all this?"
After a pause, Yang Wei smiled and said,
"If my prediction is correct, then those salt merchants and gentry of Yancheng in the past have probably all disappeared without a trace by now, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, countless officers and soldiers secretly looked in the direction of Qiu Dahai.
Qiu Dahai's expression suddenly changed, his face turned ashen, and he angrily shouted,
"Nonsense! There's no such thing!"
County Magistrate Cui on the side asked Qiu Dahai in a low voice.
"County Master, please arrange for archers to..."
As he spoke, he made a cutting gesture with his hand.
Qiu Dahai frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"Absolutely not! If we anger the bandits, I'm afraid that once they break into the city, the people of Yancheng will suffer!"
"Wait a minute, I'll give that bandit leader a good scolding, so he'll be ashamed and flee with his troops!"
Cui Xiancheng looked at Qiu Dahai with emotion.
"Your Excellency is so righteous!"
Yang Wei, who was standing at the city gate, frowned slightly when he saw that the two men underestimated him.
I originally thought that Qiu Dahai was willing to defend the city and was an honest official.
I also wanted to give him some dignity so that he could lead his people to surrender.
But now it seems that he is just an old scholar who is conservative and conservative.
However, at this time, the morale of the officers and soldiers defending the city on the city wall was obviously low.
Yang Wei looked at Qiu Dahai with his eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed across them.
The other hand quietly made a few gestures behind his back.
At this time, Qiu Dahai on the city wall saw that Yang Wei did not speak and thought that the other party had nothing to say.
His fighting spirit was immediately high, and he just had to wait for the imperial army to arrive and Yancheng would be defended.
