With the vanguard of the new forbidden army, the newest army of the Great Song Dynasty, they attacked a local bully's stockade, losing 12 soldiers and wounding many soldiers.

In the final analysis, this is not because the combat effectiveness of the new forbidden army is not good, but because they still lack actual combat experience.

In fact, this was the first time they had actually taken military action and launched an offensive. And the strength of Lijiazhai's defense is beyond everyone's imagination. According to Wu Song's judgment, this is stronger than Zhangjiabao in Qinghe County at the beginning.

Wu Song severely reprimanded Wang Huan, who was in charge of commanding the battle. However, in fact, Wang Huan is not blamed in his heart.

There may be casualties in the first battle, and Wu Song has long considered this situation. In fact, this helped to increase the actual combat experience of the new forbidden army and make them truly mentally prepared for the brutality of war.

In this way, it is possible for them to be truly competent for the task of attacking Liangshan and suppressing bandits. You must know that compared to this Li Jiazhai, Liangshan is much more dangerous. Regardless of whether Wang Lun's gang was incompetent or powerful, it was not a wise choice for the new forbidden army, which had no actual combat experience at all, to attack Liangshan as soon as it came up.

Therefore, attacking Lijiazhai also has the meaning of training the new forbidden army through actual combat.

Wu Song ordered Wang Huan: "Give good care to the dead brothers, take good care of the injured brothers, and then you write me a profound review and read it to the whole army!" ”

Wang Huan was ordered to go. He was asked to write a review and read it out in order to educate the whole army about the experience of this actual battle.

Lijiazhai was captured, and although Li Ming, Zheng Er, Dongjiamiao Wuhu and others resisted stubbornly, they were all captured alive. Brought to Wu Song, Li Ming was still arrogant and shouted: "As an official army, you actually attacked the common people for no reason, I must sue you to Tong Guantong!" ”

Wu Songxin said: It's okay if you don't mention Tong Guan, the more you mention General Ben, the more you have to rectify you, a traitorous minion. He was too lazy to be wordy, and after a few casual interrogations, he asked someone to drag that Li Ming out and cut him down!

Zheng Er and the five tigers of Dongjiamiao were also cut down. Yes, Lu Zhishen let them all go before, that was because Lu Zhishen was not an indiscriminate murderer, and he also felt that this Zheng Er could follow Lu Zhishen all the way to avenge his brother Zheng Tu, a bit bloody, and he was a man.

But Wu Song doesn't think so now. Zheng Er knew that his brother Zheng Tuqiang robbed the people's daughters, ran rampant, and helped his brother avenge him, so he could only be said to be his brother's accomplice. He will cling to Li Ming, a bully who actually slaughtered his father-in-law's entire family to seize property, which shows that his so-called bloody nature has not changed because he is still a scum.

As for the five tigers of the Dong Family Temple, after Lu Zhishen cut off their fingers and let them go, he was still willing to be the minions of the bully Li Ming and act for the tigers, so of course there was no need to spare them.

Wu Song wanted to use this kind of merciless killing to avenge the blood sacrifice of the brothers of the New Forbidden Army who died in this attack, and also to stimulate the real killing breath of the New Forbidden Army. An army that really wants to go to the battlefield must dare to fight hard, and there is such a ruthlessness. After all, the battlefield is not about having a meal, it's about fighting to the death.

Of course, at the same time, after killing several leading figures in Li Jiazhai in a row, the remaining captives did not dare to resist, including Li Ming and other family members, all of them were full of. Because of this, the new forbidden army easily found out where the treasure and grain of Lijiazhai were located.

As Wu Song expected, according to his assessment, the jewelry and grain gathered in Lijiazhai are not inferior to Zhang Dahu in Qinghe County.

Zhang Desheng smiled: These jewels, grains and grass are enough for the whole army of the new forbidden army to support for a period of time!

This also shows that the phenomenon of land annexation and rampant pride in the Great Song Dynasty is actually ubiquitous. In the Water Margin story of the previous life, the whole army of Liangshan heroes went out to attack villages such as Zhujiazhuang, which shows that this kind of landlord bully who is rich and rivals the country and has a private army is indeed very powerful.

As a traverser, in his previous life, Wu Song actually watched a lot of traditional red film and television dramas such as fighting landlords and dividing fields, and also learned some related knowledge in history classes.

So, he issued another order: gather the servants who were bullied and oppressed in Lijiazhai and the poor peasants nearby, and let them expose the various sins of Lijiazhai in dominating one side and doing wrongdoing.

At first, no one dared to say. However, when the heads of the five tigers of Li Ming, Zheng Er, and Dongjiamiao were hung up, and Wu Song ordered that those who said well should be given grain as a reward, someone began to say it. Someone started, someone continued. Later, those who wanted to speak rushed to be the first, and the more they spoke, the more they went deeper, some people gritted their teeth, and some people cried bitterly.

It can be seen that this Li Ming and others usually claim to be kings, hegemons, and oppress the good, and they are indeed deeply sinful.

Wu Song, on the other hand, invited Zhou Bangyan and others to write down all the things that the servants and poor peasants said, and encouraged them to write articles and poems. All these will become good materials and propaganda materials for propagating the new forbidden army to eliminate harm for the people and conducting revolutionary education for the soldiers of the new forbidden army.

At this time, the nearby magistrate finally came over.

Wu Song ordered people to write things about Zhou Bangyan and others as evidence of their crimes, and show them to the "parent officials" in this frightened place. In fact, it has not been a day since the magistrate came to serve here, how could he not know the reason for Li Jiazhai's crimes, and even he himself got a lot of benefits from Li Ming.

He naturally knew for a long time that Li Ming was actually the person covered by Tong Guan. However, in the face of the blood and tears of those poor people and a large amount of criminal evidence, he could only do what Wu Song said: to the court, explaining that Li Jiazhai has been dominating one side for a long time, and the county has long wanted to eliminate harm for the people.

Wu Song did not pursue the responsibility of the magistrate for conniving at and shielding the ruffian bully. First, it is because he needs this guy to play this to the court to provide a passable surface explanation for the new forbidden army to send troops to exterminate Li Jiazhai.

With this statement, Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others will be able to speak for Wu Song and the new forbidden army. Of course, they spoke for Wu Song not because they really cared for Wu Song, but because it was an action against Tong Guan.

Second, Wu Song also remembered Qinghe County and Xu En, the magistrate of Qinghe County. The experience in Qinghe County made Wu Song understand that local bullies like Zhang Dahu and Li Jiazhai are too deep-rooted and powerful, and ordinary local officials have a helpless side to compromise and collude with them.

This magistrate seems to be shrewd and capable, except for receiving some property from Li Jiazhai and not taking measures against Li Jiazhai in time, there are not too many bad deeds, so Wu Song temporarily let him go.

The magistrate said in his recital to the imperial court that "the people are all applauding", which is also true.

Because, next, Wu Song also issued an order: most of the grain and grass retrieved from Lijiazhai is, of course, used to ensure the needs of the new forbidden army, but a considerable part is used for: open a warehouse and release grain!

All the poor people in the area can receive a piece of food. Those who actively come forward to accuse Li Jiazhai of his crimes can also receive another copy.

In this era, although the Great Song Dynasty was still peaceful and prosperous on the surface, due to the heavy exploitation of the government, the bullying of landlords, and the rampant bandits and thieves, it was not easy for the people to have enough to eat.

Therefore, the new forbidden army's move of opening warehouses and releasing grain has further impressed the people with this new-style army, and the image of the new forbidden army as "the people's army and the people's love" has been further established.

When Wu Song issued this series of orders, Wen Huanzhang was silent and watched, and Zhou Bangyan, Li Zhiyi, Zhang Lei, Chao Yuanli, Fang Weishen, Li Chongyuan, Wang Zao and other military literati were also thoughtful. After Wu Song gave the order, he asked them, "Do you think of my actions?" ”
