Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"General Wei Zhong, commanding the troops of the East Camp of the County City, cannot bear to see the traitorous Liu family wreak havoc on our hometown and harm the lives of the people! Now, in accordance with the will of Heaven and the people, I will assist the General in eradicating the evil influence and pacifying the County City! All the soldiers of the East Camp will obey General Chang's orders!"

His words were powerful and resounding. They not only expressed his loyalty to the surrender, but also firmly pinned the blame for the massacre of Black Wind Ridge and the death of the county magistrate on the deceased Liu family!

This will resolve many rumors and put the Ever-Victorious Army in the right position.

In any era, having a legitimate reason for doing business is the most important thing.

Not only can he give an explanation to his subordinates, but he can also give an explanation to people outside.

This gives them motivation to act, so they can do things without feeling guilty.

Chang Baishan slowly turned around and looked down from a high position. The firelight illuminated his young but weathered face, which now looked even more majestic.

His eyes, like a hawk, swept across the square, those eyes that were filled with awe, enthusiasm, anxiety, and calculation.

It finally fell on Wei Zhong's face.

There was no warm acceptance and no hypocritical courtesy.

His voice was calm and resonant, like the clanging of metal, clearly reaching every corner of the square:

"General Wei is a man of great righteousness. He has restored order and rendered service to the people of the county. His contribution is immense!"

He affirmed Wei Zhong's contribution, but did not mention the word "surrender".

He then raised his voice, addressing everyone as if making a declaration:

"The Liu family's illegal salt trafficking has brought disaster to the nation, slaughtering civilians, framing loyal officials, colluding with foreign enemies, and attempting to establish their own regime. Their crimes are unforgivable! County Magistrate Huang was foolish and cowardly, allowing himself to be coerced. Today, he has also fallen victim to their brutal hands. It is truly heartbreaking! Fortunately, the kind-hearted and ambitious people in this city can distinguish right from wrong and work together to eliminate the main culprits and bring peace to the country!"

He paused and turned his gaze towards the granary in the south of the city:

"Yes! The chaos has just subsided, and the people in the city are crying out for food! Immediately, open the granaries and release the food! Set up a porridge factory, open day and night! All good citizens in the county, regardless of age, can get food! This will relieve their urgent needs!"

As soon as these words were spoken, earth-shaking cheers erupted in the square!

"Open the warehouse to stock up on food!"

The shouts came one after another!

"Second!"

Chang Baishan's voice drowned out the cheers and pointed in the direction of Liu's mansion.

"The Liu family's private property is all the blood and sweat of the people, and they brought disaster to the country! The gold and silver in their treasury must be immediately counted and sealed! One tenth of it must be taken, and General Wei Zhong, in conjunction with the city elders, should quickly provide relief to the civilians killed and merchants damaged in this battle! The rest of the money, food, armor, and weapons will be used as military supplies!"

Chang Baishan's voice became even deeper, carrying a murderous aura.

"Liu's followers remain! Rumors abound within the city! To ensure the safety of the people, from today on, the city gates are under martial law! All neighborhoods are under curfew! All soldiers and civilians within the city are to obey the orders of the Ever-Victorious Army and General Wei's troops! Investigate Liu's followers and capture and kill the remaining members! Anyone who dares to cause chaos, spread rumors, or take advantage of the situation will be executed on the spot! No leniency!"

He suddenly pulled out the saber that had been stuck in the brick! Under the firelight, the blade flashed with a dazzling cold light and residual blood!

"This battle is stained with blood, but it is also the beginning of a new life! The Ever-Victorious Army comes here not to establish a separatist regime, but to slay the bandits, save the people, and fight for a peaceful and prosperous world! From now on, within a 300-mile radius of the county, 30% of taxes will be exempted! Military, civilians, industry, and commerce, all may work in peace! As long as the Ever-Victorious Army flag is here, corrupt officials, tyrants, and bullies will have nowhere to hide! Those evil spirits will fear our blades!"

The sound of Changbai Mountain was like thunder rolling across the sky.

Clearly engraved in every listener's ears:

"I am Chang Baishan! I make a promise today! I am willing to live and die with you elders! Let us share peace together!"

"Live and die together! Share peace together!"

The eight words exploded like thunder in the sky above the city wall.

The entire audience instantly fell into a strange silence, and then the cheers and responses that broke out almost overturned the silent night sky!

"Long live General Chang!"

"We share peace! We share peace!"

"Live together! Die together!"

Countless suffering civilians, surviving soldiers, and uneasy gentry.

Their voices were ignited by this unprecedented promise and blazing hope for the future.

It gathered into a huge wave, echoing over the county town that had just experienced the baptism of blood and fire!

Chang Baishan stood on the watchtower, his saber inserted back under his feet.

The blade clanged like the roar of a dragon or a tiger.

The change of power was completed with this resounding declaration.

The blood-stained dawn is about to pierce this long dark night.

But this is just the beginning. The governor's secret letter is like a sword hanging over his head, and the housekeeper's whereabouts are unknown, which means that there are still clues.

Wei Zhong's position remains to be seen, as the captured county officials and remaining forces are still lurking in secret.

The county town has changed hands.

But the game of chess in the world is far from over.

Chang Baishan and his Rusted Knife Legion had just stepped into the ruthless chess game to defeat the major families.

"Send the message to His Majesty."

Soon Chang Baishan found Liu Yueli and asked Liu Yueli to send the message to Qin Ming first.

He had been sent here once before for violating traffic rules. At that time, he was still in the Wulin League in the city.

And now they have begun to lead the ordinary people on their side to defeat the major families.

In fact, he never told these people anything except that he could free himself from oppression by taking them with him.

He also carries Qin Ming's mission.

Qin Ming had arranged for him to conduct some searches.

The purpose is to help resolve the crisis of the Red Blood Alliance.

And now their search is gradually paying off. For example, the Liu family that was destroyed this time was one of the culprits who disturbed the Western Regions.

Now their demise means that the Red Blood Alliance has lost one of its supply routes.

Losing the support of a big family is not a big deal for the Red Blood Alliance at the moment.

But after a long time, the disadvantages will gradually become apparent.

Late at night, in the Western Region camp.

Qin Ming slowly looked at the telegram sent by Chang Baishan.

At this moment, he nodded with satisfaction.

The intelligence they have now is sufficient.

As for the next family to be wiped out, it will be the Zhu family.

These people are the wealthy families who are in charge of armor.

Many of the armors in their hands were directly supplied to the court of the Shenmu Kingdom.

Another batch was sent to the Western Regions within Daqian.

He wanted to supply the Red Blood Alliance to disrupt Qin Ming's plan.

And Qin Ming would definitely not let them continue doing this.

After dealing with the Liu family, we will move on to the Zhu family.

This time he called Elder Song over and told him about this matter. Elder Song asked Qin Ming with some curiosity:

"Your Majesty, where do you plan to begin?"

Qin Ming raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly:

"Ore prices start."
