This invisibly means that you have installed your own people in the official army, and you don’t spend a penny on it. This transaction can be done.

As soon as Zhang Jiuyan said this, the fifteen people who were caught stopped working, and they struggled one by one to get up and fight to the death.

But at this time, they were all forced to obey and not move.

"Cutted."

Zhang Jiuyan shouted loudly and immediately ordered someone to execute.

Liu Zongmin took the lead and led the Qingqiang men to kill the fifteen people.

This scene suddenly shocked the remaining Aiwannian soldiers, and they all knelt on the ground, begging Zhang Jiuyan to spare their lives.

Zhang Jiuyan waved his hand and said, "I said, I only kill the person who has my brother's blood in his hands. Since you are not in it, I will let you go.

But you remember, if you meet again in the future, if you are foolishly stained with my brother's blood, then they will end up."

"Okay, okay, I promise I won't dare to go against Master Jiu anymore."

"Yes, yes, when we meet Master Jiu in the future, we will take a detour."

"Thank you for not killing Master Jiu. Master Jiu is very kind and great. When the young man returns, he will definitely give him the ranking of immortality for Master Jiu."

One by one, one by one, would be like living again, and it would feel extremely beautiful and happy.

Zhang Jiuyan pointed, and then said, "After you go back, you will tell the Ai family by the way, and I will say that Ai Wannian has been arrested by me. If you want to redeem people, you can get 30,000 taels of silver."

"Yes, yes, yes, young people will definitely convey it when they go back."

Thank you very much, these people are gone.

After they left, Zhang Jiuyan ordered people to clean up the battlefield quickly. The first thing they had to do was of course to treat the wounded, and then to bring the brothers who died in battle to the mountain village, and finally to bring back the food, grass and supplies of Ai Wannian's men.

After checking one by one, Zhang Jiuyan found that this time he had killed sixteen people on his side, and everyone else was also full of lottery, but fortunately his life was free of worries.

A total of 40 people were brought down, and sixteen died. This is 40% of them. It is very huge. If it were ordinary bandits, they would have collapsed and fled long ago.

This made Zhang Jiuyan feel a little relieved while being sad.

And there is another change, that is, the remaining young and strong people have undergone amazing changes at this time.

Before, they knew they were going to kill the government army, but they all felt weak under their feet. Now, although they are still feeling sad about the death of their companions.

But their spirit is completely different from before.

Each one, the eyes were filled with light, and there was a powerful aura on his body.

Otherwise, the battlefield is the most training place. As long as you survive, it is a skill. Cowards can become big heroes. If they have not changed, they will die long ago.

This change also gave Zhang Jiuyan hope. After this battle, they already had the ability to become grassroots officers. In time, even if their troops were expanded ten times a hundred times, they would not be in chaos at all.

"Brother, Ai Wannian will be a disaster sooner or later, so it's better to kill him earlier."

"Yes, brother, Ai Wannian and us are deeply frightened like the sea, so we can't stay."

Zhang Jiuyan had just checked the brothers who died and closed their eyes for them one by one. At this time, Liu Zongmin and Gao Jie came and expressed their opinions to Zhang Jiuyan.

As the culprit of this battle, it is unreasonable to die a few times.

But Zhang Jiuyan did not kill him, but detained him. Could it be that the eldest brother was really for the 30,000 taels of silver?

Liu Zongmin and Gao Jie thought this in their hearts, but soon denied this idea. Who is the eldest brother? If he did things just for money, why would he have to get to where he is today?

Zhang Jiuyan sighed and said to them: "It's not the time to kill him."

Liu Zongmin and Gao Jie were curious and looked at Zhang Jiuyan with confusion.

Of course, Zhang Jiuyan would not hide it from them. Zhang Jiuyan asked: "Zong Min, Gao Jie, do you know what we are doing now?"

The two looked confused, and Liu Zongmin replied: "Of course it was a rebellion."

"No, you think it's a rebellion, but in the eyes of the court, we are not yet."

Now Liu Zongmin and Gao Jie were even more confused and could not understand Zhang Jiuyan's words at all.

Zhang Jiuyan naturally knew why they were like this. Zhang Jiuyan explained: "In the past, those constables and yamen runners kept rebelling and scared us,

Over time, we all think that as long as we don’t listen to them, it’s a rebellion, let alone now that we have killed the constable and destroyed the Ai family, this is undoubtedly a rebellion. In fact, this is wrong.”

"In the eyes of the court, there are three iconic events. Only if there are one of the three will the court think that our people are rebelling."

"Three things, brother, what are the three?"

Zhang Jiuyan said slowly, "First, be the king and dominate, establish the year name. Second, attack the city and cut off the center. Third, kill officials and destroy the government office.

Only the common people have done these three things, even if they are one of them, they are rebellious. But if they are not done, they will not be rebellious rioters, but bandits and robbers.”

"There is an essential difference between the rebellious army and the bandits and robbers. Rebellion is to overthrow traditional rule and establish a new court on its own, which is not allowed by any court.

The bandits and robbers only want to live freely and have no lofty ambitions. Live one day is counted as one day.

The court's attitude towards these two is very clear. Those who rebel will definitely kill as much as they want. At all costs, they will launch a large army to wipe out.

However, for bandits and robbers, the best place to wipe out the local prefectures. If they cannot be wiped out, they can also let them go.

This is the fundamental reason why Chen Mazi and his gang were lawless in Chenjiagou in the past, but the prefecture sent troops to fight several times and ignored them if they didn't come down.

If Chen Mazi killed officials, or attacked the city, or even proclaimed himself emperor, do you think Chen Mazi could survive until we took action?"

After Zhang Jiuyan's explanation, Liu Zongmin and Gao Jie understood some of the same truth. At the same time, they also guessed the reason why Zhang Jiuyan did not kill Ai Wannian.

The reason why Zhang Jiuyan did not kill Ai Wannian was because he had a thousand households. Although he was a low-ranking military general, he was still a serious fifth-rank military officer in the court. Is that a joke?

If you really want to kill him, it will undoubtedly be a rebellion.
