The two news that the ghost head Walao Qi was swept away and the flat bandit notice of the Zengcheng County Ya caused an uproar in the bandit community in the surrounding area.

At this time, the various states of life are reflected.

The first to respond were some small gangsters. Just like the people who went to the new store to consume in later generations, the ancients also understood this truth: the first to eat crabs will most likely be beneficial.

As a result, there were a few bandits with a small number of people who turned around and went to the county government as soon as possible, openly reforming their evil ways and asking for rein. There are those who are a little literate and ink, and the brothers are also shirtless and carry wattles on their backs, and play a handful of performance art.

Of course, the Gu County Commander happily forgave them.

Master Gu must be happy: not only does he not have to worry about the resettlement of the demote, but he can also brush up on a wave of political achievements in front of the county fathers, and even the reward for the demote has been released, so what is he unhappy about?

Next, seeing that the limelight was not right, the nearby rogues began to flee one after another.

Bandits are also divided into natures, including hairy thieves, sitting thieves, and rogue bandits. For Liukou, since the current situation in Zengcheng is chaotic, it is better to go first and wait and see.

In the end, after these 2 waves of screening + squeezing, the tide receded, and the remaining few sat on wax. These gangs are the same as the ghost head and the seven of the ghosts, they are all large teams that occupy favorable terrain, inherit N generations, have heads and faces in the local area, and sit on the ground to share the spoils.

However, at this time, the disadvantages of large companies were revealed: slow decision-making, two ends of the first rat, a few groups of people did not want to run away like the rogue, and they couldn't do so many people to wipe their faces and run to the county to surrender.

I can only sit and watch for a while.

I don't want to wait and see, Beishan Fotou Village was surrounded by the pioneer army again.

...........

Fotou Village is located in the north of the county in the high ridge, the location is dangerous. This place is just adjacent to the land route between Zengcheng and Yingde, Qingyuan and other places, and it is a good place to open a toll station, and a large number of bandits gather all year round.

Then when the gang woke up early in the morning, they suddenly found that the mountain had been surrounded by a large number of gray-clothed people under the banner of "Cao", and none of the sentry spies arranged before had returned.

Although the bandit village in the ravine in eastern Guangdong does not know what the character Cao represents, the posture in front of him is enough to cause chaos in the village.

The strange thing is that the gray-clothed man did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but allocated manpower, cut off all the roads down the mountain, and put on a posture of long-term siege.

This action inadvertently left time for the bandits in Fotouzhai to unify their thinking and strengthen their confidence.

The boss of Fotouzhai immediately judged that these people under his feet were the same as the previous officers and soldiers, and they were all more than enough in number and insufficient in ability to attack fortifications.

Unlike the ghost head depression without natural hazards, the terrain of Fotou Village should be well stocked, as long as everyone holds the village steadily, after a long time, the following people will naturally disperse...... Sending troops outside is to burn silver, and the government really wants to be so generous, and it has already surrounded the Buddha head village.

So the two sides confronted each other like this. During this period, the bandits also sent people to rush out to try it, but after being shot back, the bandits completely sealed the gate with stones and couldn't hold out.

Over the next two or three days, both sides seemed to accept the situation. The people under the mountain did not attack the village, but only cleared the road and set up a camp, posing for a long-term siege.

And the people on the mountain, because they don't know the strength of the opponent, also think that this is a normal situation - this is a normal situation, and the wars for thousands of years have been besieged like this at the beginning.

At noon on the fourth day, the situation changed a little: Gu Tai, the main hall of Zengcheng County, personally went out and came to the labor army with the support team sent by the gentry of the whole county!

In fact, as early as three days ago, when Fotou Village was besieged, Zengcheng County Yali sent a large number of officials to serve as messengers to spread the orders of the county magistrate to all parts of the four townships.

The content of the order was simple: each large household had to send a manpower, led by a steward, to provide material support to the team that was suppressing the bandits in front of it - each household only needed to provide one load of rice.

The large households who received the order expressed their emotional stability: since ancient times, the government has sent grain and sent errands like this when there is anything, and Lao Tzu has seen a lot. Although there is one more steward to lead the team in this order, the lower material limit is only one load of rice, so it is not a burden.

So three days later, the grain delivery brigade assembled in the county seat was personally led by the Gu County Order to Fotou Village.

When these people arrived, they realized that it didn't seem to be the case.

This group of private soldiers dressed in gray clothes is said to have been borrowed from General Cao of Guangdong by the Gu County Order, and it does not look like they are short of food and grass at all. In fact, all the materials brought by the labor army this time were actually bought by the people with white silver cakes.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many pioneers, everyone would still think that this was Cao Zongbing's family. The people who reacted afterwards can be regarded as seeing the side of the legendary Cao Zongbing.

Next, the food delivery team also saw more generous behavior. The expensive military canned food and white rice on the market are openly supplied here, and in addition, the equipment and various weapons worn by this group of private soldiers also make the stewards secretly speechless: it is not a loss to the private soldiers under the general army, if the officers and soldiers are all consumed like this, I am afraid that they will be defeated if there is a mountain of gold!

Demonstrating financial resources is the first step in overcoming the subtle influence/intimidation of the indigenous people. For many landlords with brains, they would rather face the most vicious gangsters than oppose a rich man - money is a resource, and the rich man has endless resources in his hands. Although the Ming Dynasty did not have the concept of capitalists, many people still understood this truth.

After showing the financial resources and conveying enough information, the next step is to show force.

Then these indigenous propagandists from all over the county, who brought their own dry food, saw a clean and clean military operation to break the village.

First of all, it is the platoon of guns to hold down the position.

On a specially selected afternoon with the right wind direction, the gunfire on the side of the pioneer army was so loud that the people on the wall of the wall could not raise their heads.

When the thick smoke of guns drifted towards the gate with the mountain wind, shrouding everything in a fog, the demoman with three explosives bags rushed out with the guns above his head.

After a few minutes, with an earth-shattering loud noise, the people who ate melons sat on the ground. In their frightened eyes, the Fotou Zhai Gate in the distance, as well as many bandits and parts, were all blown up into the sky at this moment and took a dirt plane.

Next, on the mountain road, which was only for three people, armorers dressed in shiny heavy steel armor and holding large shields began to charge, followed by musketeers who followed in formation.

This was the end of the battle: the remnants of the bandits, bleeding from the ear holes, had not yet recovered from the loud noise, and were slashed and killed by the armor soldiers who rushed in on the slope in front of the door, and they had no power to fight back.

Afterwards, the teams that came to deliver the grain got a free souvenir of the battle: pickled heads of the leaders of the Buddha Head Village.

Not long after that, the bandits in Zengcheng County, those who surrendered, and those who fled far away, overnight, the public order was very good, and the initial requirements of crossing the crowd were met.
