Fearing that the rebels would catch up, the crowd took the booty and went straight into the mountains.

According to the modern geographical name, they are located in the northern branch of the Miaoling Mountains at the moment. From the city of Guizhou to the north of Zazuo, there are seven or eight large and small mountain ranges, as well as many towering peaks.

The starting mountain range is called "Guishan", and the south and north of the mountain are "Yang", and Guiyang is named because it is located in the south of Guishan - at this time it has been called Guiyang, but it has not yet been officially named.

The official road starts from Guizhou Horse Post and goes north around Guishan, sometimes flat, sometimes rugged, but overall it is the best route to take.

Wang Yuan and the others plunged headlong into the mountains, the thieves could not search at all, and it was extremely difficult for the large army to march, so it was a good place to fight guerrillas. Even if the thieves knew the direction they were leaving, they would not dare to chase after them, and most of them would think that their convoy had been attacked by the seedlings in the mountains.

Hurry up and hurry, until dawn, Wang Yuan suggested stopping and resting.

Uncle Friday and his three subordinates, not only did their mounts hang their heads, but they all had several heads hanging from their waists.

These heads did not do anything, and there were blood dripping along the way, and many of them stared at the living with round eyes.

It's a very barbaric and cruel way of arguing about merit!

But everyone turned a blind eye, even Song Ling'er, a delicate little girl, didn't take the bloody head seriously at all.

Is it disgusting?

It's disgusting enough, that's all.

Wang Yuan hacked the two rebels to death with his own hands, without any superfluous thoughts and emotions, just a little feeling at the fragility of life.

Sympathy is impossible, and just before the raid last night, several rebel leaders were still insulting women. If you sympathize with the rebels, who will sympathize with the women whose families have been ruined and who have been humiliated along the way?

A total of eighty-six levels were beheaded in this battle, including the heads of the Song family's serfs. That is to say, there was no fierce fighting between the two sides, and the vast majority of the thieves fled in panic, and even more than seventy percent of the serfs who were used as civilian husbands escaped.

The losses of wearing Qingzhai were even smaller, one person broke his calf when he went up the mountain, three people fell and were slightly injured when chasing the enemy, and three people were slightly injured in the battle.

The results are as follows:

Ninety-three serfs were captured, and two hundred and six women were rescued. More than 600 stones of grain, more than 200 donkeys, more than 100 mules, more than 20 stones of refined and coarse salt, and a lot of gold and silver were seized.

Song Ling'er had a very complicated mood in the face of these loories.

Those serfs all belonged to her family, grain, salt, livestock, gold and silver, some were clan property, and some belonged to the clan brother (Song Gongzi)'s family, and now all of them are no longer surnamed Song.

Especially Song Gongzi's family, this time there was a heavy loss. Its old nest Guizhu Village was captured, and the goods accumulated for decades were swept away by the rebels.

The owner of Fangzhai has already blossomed, and such a rich wealth is enough to buy several Qingzhai.

Uncle Friday discussed with several subordinates for a while, and said to the owner of the other village: "The donkey will be divided into a few of us, and the rest will be converted into gold and silver." ”

"Well said!" The owner of the village was extremely generous.

Uncle Friday didn't want food and salt because it was difficult to transport it back. They also did not dare to take the official road, so they could only cross the mountain to the west, go out of the mountain south of Longchangyi, and then return to Guizhou City from the official road of An's territory - this tossing method is estimated to take more than half a month, and it is possible to be attacked by seedlings.

The two sides quickly finished dividing the spoils, and as for picking up a few pairs of leather armor from the rebels, everyone tacitly did not mention it.

Civilians may carry swords, and may carry bows and crossbows, but not firearms and armor: possession of contraband shall be eighty for each additional item, and one additional offence shall be added for each additional item; The sin of the private creator is increased by one degree, and the battle is one hundred, and the flow is three thousand miles.

Wear Qingzhai and take away all the leather armor, Uncle Friday and the others just didn't see it.

Wang Yuan glanced at the trembling serfs a few times, and said to the owner of the village: "Uncle Fang, these are hard-working people. After bringing them back to the cottage, don't think about exploiting and abusing them. Lend them some food and seeds, and then help them reclaim the mountains, and in two years they will become our green people. ”

"I know this very well," Fang Ayuan said with a smile, "How did you prosper when you wear Qingzhai?" ”

Wang Yuan said, "All those women are brought back to the village. Those who are willing to stay, of course, are their own people; Those who want to go home to find relatives can't let go for the time being, lest they leak the news. ”

"I know, I know," Fang Ayuan patted Wang Yuan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Your eldest brother and my eldest daughter will get married next month, and we will be a family in the future." ”

Wang Yuan said: "We are originally a family. ”

Fang Ayuan suddenly laughed: "Haha, it's still Brother Yuan who can speak!" ”

Wang Yuan walked up to his father and eldest brother again: "Abba, eldest brother, I won't go back this time, and I can't drink the eldest brother's wedding wine." There is one more important thing waiting for me to do. ”

Wang Quan pressed his son's shoulder: "A man should go out, your eldest brother has no interest, so he can only stay in the cottage." You have to make a name for yourself, and you will be a big official in the future, so that you will not be bullied! ”

Wang Yuan said: "Abba rest assured, I will take the scientific examination next year, and I will be able to take the township examination the year after tomorrow, and I will definitely be able to pass the examination and come back." After that, Wang Yuan put it to Wang Meng's ear again, "Big brother, after you get married, it is best to follow Carpenter Liu to read and write, and I will get you a toast official to be a toast official." ”

"Toast?" Wang Meng exclaimed.

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, Toast!" The imperial court stipulates that when you are a Tusi, you must go to school, at least you have to take the exam, you have to work hard. ”

Wang Meng was full of joy, clenched his fists and said: "I must be a good student!" ”

In order to promote sinicization, Zhu Yuanzhang encouraged the children of Tusi to study. When he went to Emperor Hongxi, he directly stipulated: If the children of Tusi cannot be admitted to the students, they will not inherit the position of Tusi!

As for whether the children of Tusi can participate in the township test, the imperial court did not have clear regulations.

Even if you are admitted to raise people like Song Gongzi, you will definitely not be able to become an official, which has nothing to do with whether you are a toast or not, but it is not good to be an official in the first place. is the ancestral tomb with green smoke, and the people are also made to do it, and it is basically a nine-grade official, and he can be promoted to a county magistrate if he dies in this life.

Not everyone has Hai Rui's luck, Hai Qingtian was sent to be a county school teacher as a lifter. In principle, a teacher could not be promoted for the rest of his life, and as a result, Hai Rui was promoted to the magistrate two years later - ghost knows how.

Wang Yuan operated his eldest brother to be Zazuo Tusi, and he had to wait until after the rebellion was quelled, at least two or three or three or five years - historically, An Guirong did not contribute to the army, and he was unable to exterminate the rebels. It took another three years to fight, and the imperial court finally dispatched soldiers and horses from Huguang and Yunnan to Guizhou to quell the rebellion, and it was not completely completed until the eighth year of Zhengde.

As for having a big brother as a toast, it will have an impact on his career?

Hehe, when the time comes, Wang Yuan will have another means, not only will he not be affected, but he will also be rewarded by the imperial court.

After filling their stomachs, Wang Yuan, Song Ling'er, Li Ying, Li Zhong, and Uncle Friday and others crossed the mountains westward together. The people in the green wore booty and walked back slowly in the mountains, and it was estimated that it would take ten days and a half to reach home.

Miao Chief Ajia and Aza, after receiving the news of the defeat, were so angry that the three corpses jumped violently, and almost returned to the army directly to attack Guizhou City.

However, Aja quickly calmed down, and most of the goods robbed by the people who wore green came from Guizhuzhai (Song Gongzi's family). That little money and grain is nothing, and it is the big one who was snatched from Hongbian Village (Song's ancestral house).

Aja, fearing that there would be any more accidents, immediately accelerated his march to Hongbian. After dividing the spoils, he attacked aggressively, occupied two-thirds of the territory of the Song family in half a year, and then led his troops to attack the Pingyue Military and Civil Division (Fuquan County).

If he captures the Pingyue Division, he will be able to attack Qingping County and Anning Division, which have just been beaten by the Kaili rebels and can be easily occupied. At that time, the passage from Huguang to Guizhou will be cut off, and further east is the boundary of Huguang, which will definitely make the princes of the court unable to sleep.

Leading the horses and walking through the mountains with difficulty, Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Friday, you have to go back at least 100 households this time, right?" ”

"Baihu doesn't dare to think that I will be content to be a general banner," Uncle Friday was in a very good mood and said to Li Ying, "This has to be taken care of by Li Sanlang." ”

Li Ying hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Friday, don't worry, I will definitely report the truth in front of my father." ”

Uncle Friday patted the donkey on the back and said, "Li Sanlang, you can take this donkey back and take care of my three brothers." ”

"Well said." Li Ying instantly understood his thoughts.

There was a chest on the donkey's back, which contained gold and silver—mostly gold and silver utensils and ornaments, which could be used to bribe Li Zongbing to buy officials.

With this money thrown out, coupled with real military exploits, Uncle Friday will definitely have no problem being promoted to 100 households, and his three subordinates are estimated to be able to become small banners.

Wang Yuan suddenly said: "Li Sanlang, Uncle Friday, and all the brothers. This night attack, not to mention that it has something to do with the people who wear green, in case the news is revealed, I am afraid that the rebels will retaliate against the green village. ”

"I understand, Wang Erlang, please rest assured." Uncle Friday readily agreed.

After walking for more than half a day, Wang Yuan saw that Song Ling'er was sullen, and asked with a smile: "Why are you unhappy?" ”

Song Ling'er pouted and said, "Those things are obviously our Song family's things. ”

"Is the goods important, or is your Abba's life important?" Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Song Ling'er didn't think twice: "Of course my father's life is important!" ”

"Your Abba has made a big deal this time, and you should be cut according to the law," Wang Yuan said mysteriously, "I have a plan to exempt your Abba from the death penalty." ”

"Really?" Song Linger's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you." Wang Yuan smiled like a little fox.

Li Ying scratched his head beside him, he couldn't figure out how Wang Yuan could exempt Song Ran from the death penalty.
