Chapter 172: Returning in Victory
Xu Detian, who was standing next to He Zhiyuan, hadn't reacted yet, and asked He Zhiyuan: "What's a pity?" β
He Zhiyuan said with annoyance: "Gunpowder, those four or five hundred catties of gunpowder." M.Qdian: That's our profit. β
He Zhiyuan reminded him like this, and Xu Detian was also annoyed when he remembered this stubble.
At this time, Wang Jinkui came over and asked the two of them: "Gongzi He, Captain Xu, this wall has fallen, is this rocket still being launched?" β
Xu Detian replied: "Of course it won't be launched." β
Then he ordered: "All the team members obeyed the order, and the two general flags of Song Fuchen and Ding & Yuanzhen were left, and their people rushed up with me!" β
At the sound of an order, more than 100 soldiers shouted and rushed up, and entered the cottage through the gap in the wall. Surprisingly, there was not even a trace of resistance along the way.
Ma Wu, Jiang Yuanqing and Zhou Zhi took the lead, and when they entered the wall, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. The whole cottage was a mess, and the ground and rubble were littered with corpses, stumps and broken arms, and human internal organs. Only a dozen or so wounded bandits were still lying on the ground moaning, and not a single living person was ever seen!
Fortunately, these veterans experienced such a tragic scene just now, otherwise they couldn't help but vomit.
Ma Wu held back his vomiting and ordered the soldiers to first clean the stones outside the gate of the village, and then open the gate to let others enter the village.
After He Zhiyuan entered the cottage with the troops, he looked at the image in front of him, and said with a sigh: "Putting so much gunpowder here, this is the rhythm of looking for death." They deserve to be unlucky, probably because they do too many bad things. β
Xu Detian asked He Zhiyuan: "How to deal with these injured bandits?" β
He Zhiyuan replied: "Take it back, if they survive, they shouldn't die, if they can't get through, then they can't blame us." β
Ma Wu questioned: "The wounded in Hu Yueyu have been dealt with, why are these left?" β
He Zhiyuan sighed and replied: "Those people suffered gunshot wounds, and the lead bullet was poisonous, and with the current medical technology, there is no way to know it, and if they stay, they can only suffer alive, and in the end, they will die." And these wounded were killed or injured by the explosion, and they may be able to survive if they stay. β
When the people heard this, they understood why. In Tigger Valley, He Zhiyuan gave the order to mend the knife to the injured, but most of them did not understand and felt that he was too cruel. Only now did they understand why, and it turned out that from this point of view, it was more merciful to kill them than to stay.
So Xu Detian ordered: "Ma Wu, Jiang Yuanqing, and Zhou Zhi searched room by room for all the valuable booty, including cloth, grain, livestock, carts, and so on. During the search, no one was allowed to hide their secrets. If there is a violator, they will be beheaded on the spot! Other soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, harvest the heads, and bury the bodies on the spot. β
Suddenly, He Zhiyuan remembered something and said to the soldiers: "Everyone pay attention to see if there is Boss Luo among these corpses." β
At the same time, he thought in his heart that he was an important person involved in the case of Mine Chief Yin's son, how could he clear his name without him? In He Zhiyuan's plan, he fought to capture the cottage, capture Boss Luo alive, and find out the truth of the case from his mouth. Now it seems that there is a chance that Boss Luo died in this violent explosion.
Zheng Zhutou saw that the bandits were almost wiped out, and said happily to He Zhiyuan: "He Gongzi has made the first contribution to the suppression of bandits in our state, and the little one wants to ask He Gongzi to give me a horse, and I will rush back to the state government to report the good news to Lord Zhou." Ask Zhou Da to send an officer
Help Childe clean up the battlefield. β
He Zhiyuan felt a burst of contempt for him in his heart, this kid was not afraid now, but thought of asking for credit. He also sent officials to clean up the battlefield, I'm afraid he was worried about those battles. When he was fighting, he didn't make any effort, but he was quite active in collecting the spoils. Thinking of this, he said to him: "It's okay to go back and report the news, just help clean up the battlefield." Tell Lord Zhou that these weapons are the military expenses of our troops, and I will no longer ask Lord Zhou for military expenses in the future. β
Zheng Zhutou replied with a smile: "Then thank you He Gongzi, I will definitely bring your words." β
After Zheng Zhutou rode away, He Zhiyuan and Xu Detian took a few soldiers to the most spacious compound. When I went inside, I saw that this was the so-called righteous hall of the bandits, and it was also the place where the bandit leader Wang Heitou rested. What an insult to the name of these three words!
When he came to the hall, He Zhiyuan looked around and found that this hall was even more magnificent than the hall in the Ma Qi Mountain. It seems that this king blackhead will really enjoy it, but it's a pity that it is a group of rabble who can only bully the common people.
He Zhiyuan regarded this place as a temporary headquarters, a cottage of 600 people, and only a few hundred soldiers could search for it, which would not be completed in a short time and a half, and it would be difficult to spend the night here.
At this time, it was close to noon, and He Zhiyuan ordered the soldiers to use the bandits' stoves to cook on the fire. Wait until after lunch before continuing the search.
Not long after staying in this so-called righteous hall, Ma Wu and a few soldiers escorted a stinking man over, and everyone covered their noses when they smelled the stench.
Ma Wu came over and said: "When the soldiers were searching, they caught a man in the latrine, who heard someone coming and tried to escape over the wall, but he fell into the dung pit. It's unlucky! It stinks. β
This man was Luo Juncai, who was about to escape, and it turned out that after seeing the bandits being shot and killing dozens of people by a burst of random shooting, he felt that it was hopeless to hold the village. So he sneaked away, found a hidden place and hid, wanting to wait for the officers and soldiers to leave, and then slip away. It turned out to be discovered by the searching soldiers.
Luo Juncai saw He Zhiyuan's legs weak, and he fell to his knees, kowtowing while shouting desperately: "He Gongzi spare his life, spare his life......"
He Zhiyuan looked at him and sneered: "Yo, I'm looking for you everywhere, I thought you were dead at first." It turned out to be alive and well. How did you get this look today? β
In the face of He Zhiyuan's ridicule, Luo Juncai was speechless, just knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
He Zhiyuan didn't let him answer, and then asked: "I asked you if you were behind the case of Boss Yin's son?" β
Luo Juncai was stunned when he heard this, and then denied it: "No, no!" This matter has nothing to do with me. β
"Really?" He Zhiyuan asked, then smiled evilly, and then said: "Since it wasn't you who did it, you are useless, pull it out and shoot it!" β
At this time, Luo Juncai was really scared, he was killed at this time, not even an ant, such a bandit died, and he was not one of them, He Zhiyuan could be said to have died in front of the two armies. Thinking of this, Luo Juncai immediately said: "I'll tell the truth, I'll tell the truth." I found someone to do it! β
"How did that bitter word die?" He Zhiyuan asked again.
Luo Juncai said with a bitter face: "I don't know, I really didn't do it." β
"It's really not you?"
"Not really."
"You don't tell the truth! Pull it out and kill it! He Zhiyuan waved his hand and said to Ma Wu.
Ma Wuyi Nu mouth, several soldiers
dragged Luo Juncai and walked out.
Luo Juncai shouted: "Don't, don't, I'll be honest." β
The soldiers stopped to throw him in the hall. Luo Juncai knelt down before he said, "If I say it all, please don't kill me." β
"I can not kill you. But if you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you right now! β
"I sent someone to buy Lang Zhong and poison him to death." Luo Juncai finally told the truth.
After asking, He Zhiyuan asked Song Fuchen to act as a temporary master, wrote Luo Juncai's confession, and asked Luo Juncai to sign and draw before the soldiers escorted him down.
With this confession, just send it to Zhou Zhizhou, and Boss Yin's matter will be successfully resolved. How Luo Juncai and Lang Zhong, who tried to kill for money, decided to judge, it was none of He Zhiyuan's business.
After lunch, the soldiers continued their search. More than 200 people were busy all afternoon, harvesting a total of 11 bandit heads and 17 wounded, of whom 4 were seriously wounded and 13 were lightly wounded. In the village, Luo Juncai was the only one with all the beards and tails.
In terms of war booty, more than 15,000 taels of silver, more than 3,000 stones of grain, and more than 200 large and small livestock were found. Cloth and vehicles are not counted. He Zhiyuan ordered the soldiers to load all the booty into the truck and bring it all back to the coal yard early tomorrow morning.
However, there are still some "war trophies" that He Zhiyuan does not want, that is, seventy or eighty women found from the stockade, some of these women are bandit concubines or family members, and some are women from good families who were plundered by bandits. He Zhiyuan had no choice but to take care of these women temporarily, and when he went back tomorrow, he would hand them over to Lord Zhou, how to tell the difference between the falls, and let him have a headache.
In the face of so many things, He Zhiyuan was worried, and the others were easy to say, the most headache was food, more than 3,000 stones, if it was picked up by a cart, at least a hundred carts would have to be loaded. This mountain road is uneven, and I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in one day tomorrow.
After thinking about it, I had to ask Lord Zhou to help pull it back tomorrow. But he really didn't want him to help, this time to suppress the bandits, he didn't do anything other than write a warrant and send a head catcher as a guide. In the end, he still has to reap the benefits, I really don't know which furnace of high incense he burned, he is so lucky.
He Zhiyuan, the head of these hundreds of bandits, didn't want to bring them back, and these could only be sent to Lord Zhou as gifts. In the Ming Dynasty, the head was a good thing, and in the hands of the military attachΓ©, it was silver, and it was a military merit. In the hands of civil officials, this is a political achievement and a career. It's all the capital for their promotion. But this time, Xu Tangyi's army did not act on orders, so he could not report his military exploits to his superiors, so he could only cheapen Lord Zhou.
Nothing was said all night.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, He Zhiyuan set off to load more than a dozen carts of valuables, escorted the women, and more than 100 heads, and walked towards the coal yard.
Along the way, the mountain road of more than ten miles walked for a full hour to reach the coal yard.
The news of He Zhiyuan's triumphant return from a great victory in suppressing bandits soon spread throughout the coal mine, Luoquanzhuang, and even in Yizhou City.
Early in the morning, Mr. Zhou, who got the news, came to the Luoquanzhuang coal yard to wait, and when he saw He Zhiyuan coming, Mr. Zhou was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and said to He Zhiyuan: "I heard that He Gongda won a big victory in suppressing bandits, which is the blessing of the people of Yizhou, and the merit of the son!" β
He Zhiyuan smiled and teased: "It wasn't because Lord Zhou had a good command that I wiped out all these bandits in one fell swoop." β
When Zhou heard this, he was greatly embarrassed. I had to say: "Childe said that he was laughing, old man!" β
