Chen Congzhi left before it was dark, and Hu Dawei drank wine with Qin Chuan all night.

According to him, Lord Futai has realized that his official position is about to be lost, but he still travels back and forth between Hequ and Taiyuan every day in the past few days, inspecting and supervising the city defense of the two counties.

For leading soldiers and bandits, Lord Futai may not have much success, but at the moment when officialdom is erosive, he is a rare honest and capable official.

There has been a great drought in Shanxi and Shaanxi for many years, and in just a few years, the boundaries of Shaanxi have been overflowing, and although there are many green forests and grasses on the ground in Shanxi and thieves who want to rebel, compared with Shaanxi, it is much more stable.

There were not many troops on the ground in Shanxi, and all the recruits under the command of Hong Chengchou gathered in Shaanxi to suppress bandits, the Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Cao Wenzhao was also in Shaanxi, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army was in northern Henan and southern Gyeonggi, and Zuo Liangyu's Changping Army was in central Henan, and the main forces in Shanxi were only the troops of Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda.

However, Zhang Zongheng had to deploy defense against Xuanda, and he had no time to care about the bandits in the southeastern part of Shanxi, and if it were not for Song Tongyin's urgent dispatch of Hu Dawei and He Huchen and other generals to guerrilla, there would be no troops available in the central and southern parts of Shanxi.

In this case, 200,000 rogues suddenly poured into Shanxi, and even Zhuge was alive, I am afraid that he could not stop it.

A few days ago, when the thieves attacked Shouyang, Song Tongyin sent Wu Cai to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to the rescue.

The Chinese officials of the DPRK have chaotic administration, and the parties have misled the country, and I don't know how many Qing officials have been harmed over the years.

Song Tongyin has always been at odds with those who form parties for personal gain, and this time it is estimated that he will be unlucky.

However, after Hu Dawei arrived at Lou Fu, he attacked and killed hundreds of thieves, and searched for more than 3,000 heads on the battlefield full of corpses, plus Qin Chuan's 1,000 heads and Guo Yan's head, this brilliant result should be able to help Lord Futai keep the black gauze hat on his head.

Qin Chuan doesn't hate Song Tongyin, just like Hu Dawei said, maybe Song Tongyin's ability to dispatch troops is not very good, but he can be regarded as an honest and capable official, which is very rare in today's world.

Historically, after Song Tongyin was dismissed, he was replaced by Xu Dingchen, who only worked for a year, followed by Dai Junen, who had a highlight moment of luring surrender and setting up an ambush at the banquet to kill Wang Gang and Leopard Wu, but he also only worked for one year.

When these two took over, Cao Wenzhao and various generals had already entered Shanxi, and they could not exterminate the Liukou, not to mention Song Tongyin, who now had no soldiers under him.

……

The next morning, Hu Dawei left satisfied.

When he left, he walked more than 500 catties of blanched water, saying that he was afraid that Mengjiazhuang would not be able to eat so much, and he was afraid that it would be wasted.

Lou Fu and Meng Jiazhuang finally calmed down.

It's time to clean up the aftermath too.

The first thing is to find wood to nail the coffin.

In the past two days, a total of 130 Guan Di soldiers, more than 300 displaced people, and two old bandits from Jiujishan were killed.

These people must be buried well, and the two brothers of Jiujishan will be buried in thick coffins.

The second thing is to bury the body.

There were thousands of corpses on several battlefields around Lou Fu, Qin Chuan only cared about chasing and killing Li Biaofeng and Guo Yan, and ignored those heads, and finally they were all cut off by Hu Dawei.

Qin Chuan sent out more than 1,000 displaced people from Mengjiazhuang, and it took a whole day to bury all the corpses.

The third thing is to rebuild the town of Loufu.

After several battles, Loufan Town has become a ruin, and the beams, doors, bed boards, tables and chairs of the villagers' houses, and even rafters, etc., have been used by thieves to make large shields or other siege equipment, and finally all piled up in Mengjiazhuang.

The villagers who had fled far away came back one after another, and finally they all sat on the ruins and wept.

Qin Chuan asked the displaced people to transport the timber back to Mengjiazhuang and distribute it to the villagers, and helped them dig their nests and build walls and tiles.

After seeing that those homeless people were doing better than them, many villagers expressed their willingness to join Mengjiazhuang and work as long-term workers or family nurses for Qinchuan.

Qin Chuan told them that as long as they still lived in Loufu, they would be protected by Mengjiazhuang, and the tenants of the Meng family could still cultivate the fields of the Meng family, and the tenants of the Du family and the farmers of the king of Ninghua could also come and cultivate the fields of the Meng family.

In the future, you can also buy the Meng family's land at a lower price than the market price.

All in all, as long as they are still annoying, they are all people from Qinchuan, provided that they are obedient, they must be obedient, and they are 100% obedient.

Immediately, the tenants who farmed for the other two families expressed their willingness to farm for the Meng family, to be precise, for Qinchuan.

Except for a few homesteaders with fields and land, the people of the entire town of Lou Fan obeyed Qin Chuan.

The fourth thing Qin Chuan did was to sort out the composition and configuration of Mengjiazhuang's personnel.

Today, there are still 35 old bandits in Jiujishan in Mengjiazhuang, 360 Guan Emperor soldiers, 200 miners, and more than 1,100 displaced people, most of whom are young and strong, and most of whom have fought in battle.

Qin Chuan will give rewards to everyone according to what he said before, and those who died in the war will be given bereavement benefits if they still have relatives alive.

Then, he selected some of the homeless people who performed well when guarding the village, and joined the Guan Emperor Army with the two hundred miners.

After Lao Huang went to collect the collapse of the heavens, he finally screened out one hundred and fifty people, all of whom were more obedient and had not done anything harmful.

Qin Chuan selected some people from them and also incorporated them into the Guan Emperor Army.

In the end, Emperor Guan's army had a total of 800 people, still divided into three battalions, and the battalion officers were still Luo Daniu, Liu Youzhu and Li Dingliang, of which Luo Daniu led 250 first camps to garrison Huangcong Mountain.

In addition to these three people, other Jiujishan old bandits were also appointed as various training officers, listening to the dispatch of the three battalion officers and cooperating with the training of the Guan Emperor Army.

As soon as the battle passed, there were a lot of rogues outside Mengjiazhuang one after another, most of them were those who were scattered in one day, and there were also some defeated soldiers of Guo Yan and Wang Gangbao Five, and groups of three or five came to serve, as many as five or six hundred people.

Qin Chuan told them that anyone who committed adultery and criminality would kill as many as he could, but if it was just a small common man who was coerced by thieves and had not done anything harmful, Mengjiazhuang would accept them all, not only would he not embarrass them, but he would also let them work and eat.

After a few words, more than 100 people left the group, and the remaining more than 400 Qin Chuan took them all.

However, after separating and carefully screening all the people, and after screening them one by one, dozens of people were beheaded, and in the end there were only more than 350 left.

Qin Chuan sent most of them to the mines to mine, first let them learn to be obedient under the whip of those mine heads, and then they were incorporated into the Guan Emperor Army.

The rest of the rogues were scattered and caught in the midst of the outcasts.

In the end, Mengjiazhuang had 800 Guan Emperor troops and more than 1,200 displaced people, and Qin Chuan gave them a different title and called Zhuang Min.

There are more than 900 miners on the other side of the mine, and they will continue to replenish it to continuously increase the production capacity of pig iron.

……

The spoils of this battle, Song Zhiting and Wang Jizong have all been counted and put into storage.

Including the horses that ran away after the war, as well as those captured by Huangcongshan Dazhai, he confiscated more than 500 war horses, plus 200 horses from Hu Dawei, a total of 740 horses.

Coupled with what he had before, Qin Chuan now has a full 1,300 war horses, most of which are Mongolian horses.

In addition, a number of cart-pulling livestock, oxen, horses, donkeys, mules, etc., plus those in Huangcong Mountain, a total of more than 200 horses were seized.

These animals can be used to plow the fields.

As for knives, guns, clubs, and the like, there were two or three thousand pieces, more than two hundred horn bows, more than one hundred and twenty pieces of cotton armor, two pieces of chain mail, and six pieces of cloth iron armor, most of which were contributed by Zhang Kewang's subordinates.

The most harvested is Huangcong Mountain, with a total of more than 3,500 stone of grain, more than 6,000 taels of silver, and a group of women.

There were also more than 500 stones of grain in the hemp bags filled with grass in Qin Chuan's lane, which were all removed by Hu Dawei's hanging hair.

But in general, the battle was earned, and it was a big deal.

Next, it's time to farm and strike iron.
