Responsibilities (5)

In mid-air, countless crossbow arrows flew down, white and bright, like a torrential rain.

A soldier who was stunned by the artillery got up from behind the battlements, staggered and raised his shield to meet him, and several crossbow arrows hit his wooden shield at the same time, ping, ping, ping, ping, and hitting his body straight back.

"Brothers, .......," the lonely soldier let out a desperate wail. Before he could finish speaking, several grenades thrown by the catapult at close range landed precisely beside him. With a roar, he saw his body split into several parts, floating in the air.

More grenades were thrown onto the head of the city of Fujizhou, and the Yuan soldiers on the city wall had nowhere to dodge and were blown up. Under the city walls, groups of soldiers of the Broken Army covered each other and quickly advanced the battle line towards the city gate.

Soon, resistance around the gates was cleared. A small group of light infantry rushed out from behind the ranks of hoplites and archers, stacked a dozen square pieces of gunpowder in the hole in the city gate, lit the fuse, and ran away.

"Boom!" There was a loud crack of the heavens and the earth, and thick smoke enveloped the city gates. Before the dozen or so Yuan soldiers hiding in the cave of the city gate could figure out what was going on outside, they felt that they had been pushed hard, and then they involuntarily flew backwards, backwards, and then, a sharp pain came from the limbs, and the whole person lost consciousness.

The city gate was gone, and standing outside the city, you could see the private soldiers scurrying back and forth like flies in the streets. Commander Zhai Qiang tried to organize the soldiers to fight in the streets, but was pushed hard by the frightened soldiers, and his footing was unstable, and he plunged into the roadside shop. By the time he ran out of the shop with the blood on his face, the streets were empty.

"Our Zhai family has always been kind to you!" Zhai Qiang cried. After shouting twice, I couldn't get sympathy. Throwing away the long knife, he took off the willow leaf armor and joined the ranks of the refugees without hesitation.

"Rush in, kill the Zhai family, and avenge the brothers!" Outside the city gate, Su Liuyi held his saber high and shouted. The soldiers of the two regiments of the former Jianghuai Army followed behind his war horses and rushed to the city gate with red eyes.

"Brethren!" Xiao Mingzhe waved his hand back, and was just about to signal several regiment commanders under his command to launch a general attack, but he saw Yang Xiaorong, the commander of the fifth standard, rushing over from the side, just using his body to seal his gesture.

"The fifth standard, the first regiment covers General Su's entry into the city, the second regiment cleans up the city wall, the reserve regiment is on standby, and the other regiments go around the city to block the north gate, don't let the Zhai family's people escape!" Yang Xiaorong preemptively issued an order to the fifth standard, and while assigning tasks, he gave Xiao Mingzhe a look.

How? Don't go into the city? Xiao Mingzhe listened to Yang Xiaorong's arrangement in surprise. With instinctive trust in the savior, he issued a similar directive to his brothers.

After the outbreak of the plague in Fujian, Chaozhou and Huizhou on Guangnan East Road were also affected. In order to prevent the plague from bringing greater disasters to the team, Zou Xun, the deputy commander of the Broken Army, ordered the army to press west and avoid the plague land. At the same time, in order to speed up the attack, Zou Xun divided the army into two parts, one part led by Zhang Tang and himself, and cooperated with the naval division to recover the coastal states. The other part took Xiao Mingzhe as the main general, Yang Xiaorong, Su Liuyi, and Wu Xizheng as deputies, with the second and fifth standards and artillery divisions, and attacked Zhaoqing, Deqing, Feng, Teng and other prefectures, while recovering the lost territory, while collecting the lost brothers of the original Jianghuai Army. And Mrs. Xu's soldiers and horses served as peripheral guards, beware of Lu Shikui taking advantage of the group's unpreparedness to kill a horse gun.

Several powerful families on Guangnan West Road saw that there were few soldiers and tried to hold on to the city. Fight skirmishes to gain bargaining chips for your family. Zou Xun ignored it, ordered all the targets, and those who saw the broken army and did not open the city would be attacked.

Zhaoqing Mansion and Deqing were successively breached, and the defenders were not in the military formation. Fang Hanjie, the envoy of Fengzhou Town, saw that the general trend had gone, abandoned the city and fled. He was intercepted by the old Jianghuai Army in Zhongboshan Mountain, and his family disappeared in the chaos.

The second and fifth standard lineups of the Broken Army grew rapidly, and in addition to the remnants of the Jianghuai Army, many rebels came here. Among them, there are many tough guys who have been dealing with the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the mountains, and there are also many people who have the calculation of taking advantage of the troubled times to gain fame. Xiao Mingzhe accepted all those who came to take refuge, but in strict accordance with the criteria of whether they had been the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty, they were divided into two parts: the main regiment and the reserve regiment. Each regiment sent additional veterans of the Broken Army to reorganize and train.

Yang Xiaorong's younger brother Yang Xiaoguang was temporarily promoted to the head of the reserve regiment, and when he saw Su Liuyi rushing into the city with two regiments, but there was no order from his side, he couldn't stand it, and secretly rubbed to the side of the two commanders, greeted Xiao Mingzhe in a curtling manner, and begged: "General Xiao, why did you send so many men and horses into the city, the brothers are itching their hands!" Or? A few of our reserve regiments are also pulled out for exercise? ”

"Where to stay where it's cool!" Yang Xiaorong pricked up his eyes and scolded angrily.

When he scolded, Xiao Mingzhe felt a little embarrassed. stopped his words and discussed in a low voice: "General Xiao Yang is also a little reasonable, several reserve regiments have been following behind the main force to observe the battle, and they have not officially participated in the battle. Now the war is coming to an end......"

"General Xiao, don't let them make trouble. Before the whole training of the reserve regiment is over, don't pull it up! Without waiting for Xiao Mingzhe to finish speaking, Yang Xiaorong replied with a look in his eyes. turned around and continued to scold Yang Xiaoguang: "It's only been a few days, and the wings have hardened. Have you completed the training course? Do you want to rush forward? The next time you attack the city, you will take a reserve regiment to fight the main attack! ”

"Hit it, hit it, what's the big deal!" Yang Xiaoguang muttered in a low voice, didn't dare to talk back to his brother, and retreated in a gloomy manner.

Watching his back walk away, Yang Xiaorong shook his head, with an angry look on his face.

"General Yang, what the hell is going on?" Xiao Mingzhe asked in a low voice. For this Yang Commander, who saved his life twice and had a bad stomach, in addition to gratitude, he also had an indescribable feeling in his heart. There are some points of admiration, some points of respect, and some points of helplessness and dissatisfaction.

Yang Xiaorong is such a person, when he encounters a good opportunity and a good boss, he can become a famous general and a hero. If he is unlucky, he will be a traitor, a waste who eats and waits for death. When he first joined the Broken Army, no one in the whole army looked down on him, Xiao Mingzhe was a well-educated scholar, although he also had a lot of prejudices against Yang Xiaorong in his heart, but he never treated him with white eyes in ordinary interactions. So Yang Xiaorong only talked to him later, and he didn't hide any thoughts from him.

At this moment, I saw Xiao Mingzhe at a loss. Yang Xiaorong smiled, jumped off the war horse, ordered his entourage to open a map, pointed to the states and counties on Guangnan West Road above, and analyzed the situation in front of him in a low voice.

Seeing that the commander had something important to discuss, several pro-soldiers automatically formed a small circle and isolated irrelevant people.

In the circle, Yang Xiaorong pointed and kept talking about something. Xiao Mingzhe was surprised at first, refuted, and then nodded again and again.

"My brother has arranged a big battle again!" Yang Xiaoguang, who had touched a gray nose, looked at it from a distance and said to himself.

"The two generals, Xiao and Yang, do not fight for merit and profit. As soon as one battle is over, it's no wonder that you're planning for the next one! "The acting head of the Second Reserve Regiment, Zhou Shichao, the leader of the People's Army who came out of Cangwu Mountain, thought with admiration.

No one expected that at this moment, Yang Xiaorong and Xiao Mingzhe's discussion was another war. There is no smoke in this war, but the intensity is no less than the current situation.

"Guangnan West Road, in addition to those Miao Zhai and Tusi, the most powerful are Chen, Zhai, Wang, and Fang. These four families are in the same spirit, one is lost, the other is prosperous, and their influence has spread for hundreds of years, covering all states and counties. No matter what our Great Song Dynasty was back then, or the current Mongols, there is nothing they can do. At that time, General Zhang Shijie tried to subdue these families for his own use, but in the end the Jianghuai army was sold by them. Zhang Hongfan entered Guangzhou and got the help of the family, but as soon as Zhang Hongfan left, Lu Shikui immediately couldn't move them. At present, we have to straighten out the chaotic relations in Quang Nam, which is more difficult than attacking cities and plundering land! Yang Xiaorong looked at the map and said angrily.

"Indeed, if it weren't for the stabbing of these guys in the back last year, the Jianghuai Army would not have been wiped out. The situation in our Fujian is not so dangerous! Xiao Mingzhe nodded in agreement. Just now, Yang Xiaorong used a pen to roughly mark the sphere of influence of several families on the map, and from Rongzhou in the north to Qiongzhou in the south, the power of the family is pervasive.

This made him deeply feel that the road ahead was difficult. Those families, since Li Tang, have always put the interests of the family first. There has never been a fixed object of loyalty. The Broken Capture Army went all the way to attack, at most cutting off the part of the people who had taken refuge in the Northern Yuan, and the foundation of the family was still firmly rooted in the people. Once the Breakers are in danger, they will not hesitate to fight back. This kind of cold arrow hidden in the shadows is impossible to prevent.

"People like Zhai Guoxiu and Zhai Liang, on the surface, are beautiful, but they may not be ranked in the family. And those who really hold the real power in those clans are all hidden in private. In this way, even if Zhai Bao and the others follow the wrong person, the family can act as a righteous annihilation, and they can't hurt their bones at all! Yang Xiaorong's next analysis coincides with Xiao Mingzhe's thoughts. Biting his lower lip, the famous general of the Broken Army, who has always been known for his many ghost ideas, said in a low voice: "Moreover, Yang heard that Master Wen plans to promote the kind of election in Fujian in the land of Liangguang!" ”

"Indeed, Fujian chose once two years ago. Those who dare to come forward to be officials in the Great Song Dynasty are all good men, and they have not read the books of sages in vain! Xiao Mingzhe replied loudly. I secretly wondered why in the blink of an eye, Yang Xiaorong diverted the topic from the battle between the two Guangxi to the election.

"Two years ago, the strength of our army was weak, and we couldn't see the signs of a climate, so no one was willing to be an official for us that day. But right now, the Broken Army obviously has the strength to compete with the Northern Yuan Dynasty, will there be no one to be this magistrate? Yang Xiaorong shook his head and woke up in a low voice. General Xiao, please think about it, once we withdraw, who will the position fall into this local election? ”

"It's not Chen, Fang, Zhai, and Wang who pushed it out!" Xiao Mingzhe said angrily. The good impression left by the last election was swept away by Yang Xiaorong's words. Guangnan is not as good as Fujian, when the Northern Yuan Dynasty entered Fujian, the first and second two major families in Fujian, the Chen family and the Xu family, gave up their family for the country, and finally, the Chen and Xu families and dozens of small and medium-sized families that had stood for hundreds of years were wiped out. Therefore, when the Metropolitan Governor's Office carried out elections in northern Fujian, the influence of the family in it was very small. However, Guangnan West Road was surrendered all the way, and without the destruction of the war, those big families could fully grasp the opportunity of this election and take the lead in the local area.

Several low-level officers seemed to have something important to report, and when they saw Yang Xiaorong and Xiao Mingzhe discussing fiercely, they stopped from afar.

In the city of Fujizhou, there were several places where smoke was rising. The soldiers of the reserve regiment looked at them in a daze, wondering how anyone dared to resist the front of the army in such a situation.

"Brother, I am a rough person, Master Wen is kind to me, and I will naturally work for him. But why did we let those families take off the territory that we had worked so hard to conquer? Even if I listen to Lord Bun's command and do not complain, the brothers who live and die together will not be reconciled! Yang Xiaorong waved his fist and smashed the ground into a bang.

"What can I do? We are leading the army, and we can't let the prime minister know what we mean! ”

"Why did General Zou let us advance so quickly, the last general thought that it was just to prevent Zhai Guoxiu and the others from having a chance to surrender again. However, this is not enough, if you want the Prime Minister's election method not to be used by the family, you have to come and pull out all the ones that can be pulled out! Yang Xiaorong said with a cold face.

"Unplugging?" Xiao Mingzhe was stunned for a moment, and Yang Xiaorong in front of him suddenly became a little unfamiliar, a little frighteningly strange. "Slaughtering the city, absolutely not, it was done by the Mongols. Liu Zijun knows, he can't spare us! ”

Yang Xiaorong laughed a few times, and said coldly: "Don't you think I don't know that we are breaking the military regulations?" Slaughtering the city, of course, this kind of immoral thing can't be done. But I won't let those families take advantage of them in vain. Last night, Su Liuyi came to me and said that he wanted to take people into the city for half an hour. I knew I couldn't talk to you, so I acquiesced to him! ”

"General Yang!" Xiao Mingzhe let out an angry shout. The nearby guards didn't know why the two commanders, who had always had a good relationship, suddenly quarreled, and they all turned their heads to watch in surprise.

"You, how did you do this!" Xiao Mingzhe turned pale with anger and yelled at Yang Xiaorong. The two of them exchanged views outside the city, and it took far more than half an hour. Su Liu Yi and the remnants of the Jianghuai Army were sold by the family, and now that they get the opportunity, they will naturally retaliate. I'm afraid that at this time, the branches related to several families in the city have already been uprooted by them.

"What a Yang Xiaorong, you are really ruthless!" Xiao Mingzhe muttered and scolded. Yang Xiaorong's abacus he finally saw it completely clearly, Su Liuyi entered the city in advance, even if he violated the military regulations, because he was a newcomer, in order not to make the Jianghuai generals too cold, Wen Tianxiang could not punish him too severely. Next, when the heroes in other cities learned of the results of the Battle of Fujizhou, they naturally organized men and horses to resist desperately. According to the rules of the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Office, those who refuse to surrender have always been seized of their land and property and distributed to the surrounding people. In this way, wherever the army passes, where there will be any more families left, all the forces of Guangnan West Road will be completely shoveled into a blank slate.

It's just that in this way, the battle to sweep the Quang Nam West Road will become more and more difficult. The further back you go, the fiercer the resistance of the Breakers will become.

"Good man, you should. Wicked, I'll do it. Anyway, I can't watch the territory that the Breaker Army has beaten down and be taken away by others. Yang Xiaorong was angry with Xiao Mingzhe's 'pedantic', turned his head, and said to the smoky Tengzhou City. Just now, when I didn't say anything, you didn't hear anything. If something happens, I, Yang Xiaorong, will carry it myself, and I won't drag down your General Xiao to be promoted and make a fortune! ”

"Yang Xiaorong, you fucking bastard!" Xiao Mingzhe ignored the image of the Confucian general and couldn't help scolding. Hurriedly called the soldiers and ordered them to enter the city with their own orders to rectify military discipline. only to find that a few heralds, who had always been neat, were much slower than usual.

The fire burned in Fujishu, and thick smoke covered half of the sky. The cries of women and children echoed in the smoke and dust, and they lasted for a long time.

In Yulin Prefecture, representatives of several local wealthy families stood outside the camp of the Broken Army under the scorching sun. The informant went in more than a dozen times, but Zou Xun, the deputy commander of the Broken Army, kept avoiding.

"General, can you please give another message, saying that the Yulin Chen family is willing to lose 500 acres of land for military funds, and dedicate the head of the sinner Chen Kejian, please forgive the Chen family's crime of lax discipline!" A Confucian scholar in a green silk robe and a soft jade hat prayed to the leader of the camp gate.

The military uniforms of the Broken Prisoners are neat and clearly marked. From the color of the uniform, you can easily tell the rank of the army, the officer in front of him is at most a sergeant, and the difference between him and the general is 108,000 miles, but Confucian has to treat each other with a bold.

People are under low eaves and have to bow their heads. Zou Xun's soldiers entered Yulin Prefecture without blood, but he did not promise to forgive the sins of the guards and his family. At this time, the heroes of Yulin Prefecture heard the news that another line of broken captives was wantonly killing the families of those who colluded with the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Tengzhou. Everyone complained bitterly, and hurriedly sent those who could speak the Tao in the clan to Zou Xun's army to talk about the item. Who knows that Zou Xun closed his door to thank the guests, neither talking about killing nor the conditions for pardoning.

"Wait, it's useless for you to give me any amount of silver. The generals have a meeting, and you will be notified of the results when they have them! The captain took the red envelope given by the reader, checked it, and threw it back, "This, we don't dare to ask for it, the rules in the army are tight, you can take it yourself!" ”

"Yes, yes, little rudeness, you shouldn't use this dirt to stain the hands of the military master!" The Confucian people laughed again and again. "Is a meeting a meeting? What a big deal, General Zou can't decide in one word! ”

"Of course, our Broken Army has never been a one-man decision. If General Zou could make a decision, maybe he would have killed you ungrateful ......" The captain gestured with his hand to kill his head, "It's a snap, but the chief of staff refuses, you wait, it's soon, it won't be too long!" ”

While speaking, I saw Miao Chun walking out of the camp with a straight face, followed by Chen Fusong, Fang Sheng and several other low-level generals of the water division.

"Which one is Chen Changqing!" Chen Fusong shouted with a dark face.

"It's down there, it's down there, I've seen the general!" The green silk robe glanced at the golden flower on Chen Fusong's breastplate, knowing that his official position was not low, so he stepped forward to give a salute.

"Why are you also surnamed Chen!" Chen Fusong scolded disdainfully. "General Zou gave you two ways, first, keep 500 acres of all the land in your family, and the rest of the land, whether paddy fields, dry fields or mountainous land, will be purchased by the government for three coins of silver per acre, and distributed to the people for cultivation! After that, all over Guangxi, the generals related to you and other families asked them to surrender immediately when they saw the banner of the Broken Army, and don't continue to work for the Northern Yuan! ”

"Ahh Chen Changqing's body shook, and he almost fainted. The big clans control the surrounding tenants by controlling the land, and if they lose their land, what should they do to make the people bow down to their orders? When the time comes, he said that he would take advantage of the election to get mixed into the government, and it is estimated that he may not even be able to get the qualifications to vote.

When I was in a panic, I heard Chen Fusong say loudly: "Second, you and your clan will relocate, go to find a capable person in the family to take refuge, and the army will not stop you." Everyone fights with their ability, and after the fight, they sit down and talk about the conditions. If you have the ability, you will take back all the land and family property, if you don't have the ability, you will wipe your neck if you are defeated, don't make trouble for everyone! ”
