The relatively strict military discipline of the Forces nouvelles also shocked outsiders in the ranks.

One of the two observers sent by the Wang family, Xu Shiyang's cousin Wang Qi said to Xu Shiyang: "No wonder my cousin can annihilate a Tartar and rub his arrogance, and the military discipline is so strict!" ”

Xu Shiyang sighed: "Originally, they were all members of the alliance, but the Fan family took the wrong path. ”

"I have never been soft on killing Tartars, Japanese bandits, and bandits, but I really can't bear to let me kill these compatriots who work as hard as we do."

Wang Qi asked again: "What does my cousin plan to do with the Fan family?" ”

The eyes of all the observers were instantly focused on Xu Shiyang, this question was probably also what they were concerned about, right?

"First of all, it must be made clear that the Fan family's defection to the enemy has nothing to do with the people of the low-level dock fort."

Xu Shiyang replied calmly:

"So after the battle, I have no intention of causing too many killings, and the private property of the people of Wubao can also be kept, and no one can take it away unless there is evidence that they participated in the Fan family's conspiracy to defect to the enemy."

"Secondly, the upper echelons of the Fan family, such as the master, the housekeeper, the leader of the Xiangyong, the teacher of the fist and the stick, etc., need to be screened to a certain extent, if I am sure that they have not surrendered to the enemy, I will release them, give them a piece of land, and let them live the life of ordinary Wubao people."

"In the end, the children surnamed Fan need to come up with their own evidence to prove that they have no knowledge of Master Fan's defection to the enemy, otherwise I will confiscate their family property and demote them to commoners. I had no choice but to ask them to go on the road with Master Fan for the specific implementation of the ...... of surrendering to the enemy. ”

As he was talking, everyone had already come to the ancestral house of the Fan family, and in front of the courtyard that had entered the courtyard for five years, the Fan family was kneeling on the ground.

From the Fan family's sons and nephews to their wives and concubines to the little maids below, there were both men and women, and even a few babies who were held in the arms of the nurse, and there were uncontrollable cries from time to time in the crowd.

"Ugh......." Xu Shiyang sighed: "In short, this time we must try to kill as few people as possible." ”

……

On the sixth day of February in the twelfth year of Jianxing, the Xu family broke Juzhou one day.

The next day, Xu Shiyang, the commander-in-chief of the Xu family's new army, executed six members of the Fan family, including the master of the Fan family, on the charge of defecting to the Tartars.

This number is much less than that of the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles who were executed for violating military discipline at the time of the breach.

In addition, 5 of the sons and nephews of the Fan family were demoted to commoners, and the rest of the Fan family members were released along with most of the middle-level cadres of the Fan family, allowing them to live as ordinary burgers.

Xu Shiyang did not allow the soldiers to plunder the people of Juzhou City, but those Wubao people did not have any extra assets, and the main loot was in the warehouse of the Fan family, which was naturally laughed at by Xu Shiyang.

Last year, there was a bumper harvest in Juzhou, and Xu Shiyang seized thousands of stones of grain, hundreds of horses of various colors of cloth and thousands of gold, silver and copper coins, and the cost of this military dispatch can also be said to have been earned.

Coupled with cattle, sheep and livestock, a large number of farm tools, an increased population and fields, the official harvest can be described as a bumper harvest, but the soldiers did not have any decent capture, for this reason, Xu Shiyang also specially distributed a large amount of meat, grain and five feet of cloth per person to the soldiers participating in the war as a reward to appease the morale of the army.

In addition to material rewards, they also had to be matched with spiritual enjoyment, and Xu Shiyang awarded the Order of Valor of the Third Class to more than 20 soldiers who had performed well in battle, and promoted more than a dozen of them to military ranks.

After setting a benchmark for the soldiers, Xu Shiyang ordered the troops to retreat home on the seventh day of February.

In order to prevent the remnants of the Fan family from becoming bigger again, the Zhenyuan camp will be temporarily stationed in Juzhou City, and half of the hukou in the city will be relocated, Xu Shiyang will get half of it, and the other half will be scattered in other dock forts of the Xu family.

As a replacement, the Wubao that got the population was transferred equivalent to half of the population to fill Juzhou, plus the Zhenyuan battalion and the families of the soldiers, the Xu family in Juzhou has surpassed the people of the original Fan family, even if the Fan family wants to make trouble later, they can't make trouble.

Juzhou City is planned as the new Xujia Seventh Tun, the owner of the dock fort is Xu Shiliu, who has been promised by Xu Shiyang, but the seventh tun does not form a new military camp for the time being, Xu Shiliu currently only has the right to govern the people's livelihood, and the military command is in the hands of Gongsun Sheng, the commander of the Zhenyuan battalion.

The Seventh Tun also became the first dock fort where the military power and regime of the Xu family were separated, and in this way, Xu Shiyang actually controlled half of the rights of the Seventh Tun.

Before the troops retreated, Xu Shiyang ordered pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, and the whole army was feasted in Juzhou City.

At the banquet, Xu Shiyang made clear requests to the observers of the alliance, ordering them to notify their respective heads after returning home this time, and immediately prepare to go on another expedition.

Ten days later, the alliance will launch a general attack on the last non-alliance force in Juzhou and Rizhao counties, the Wulianshan Liumin group, and completely pacify the entire territory of the two counties.

The Wulian Mountain Liumin Group is the biggest heart disease of the local Haoqiang family in Rizhao and Zhucheng counties, and there is no one.

Because the water and brine soil in the Wulian Mountains are thin, they can't support so many displaced people at all, so the displaced people group has to go down the mountain almost every year to grab some food and clothing and go back to spend the winter.

Because they are loose outcasts and do not have a strong ruling core, the Dock Castle owners, who are accustomed to compromise, cannot even find anyone who can negotiate the price, so they can only use empty manpower every year to strengthen their defenses.

However, the existence of the Wulianshan Group is also an acceptable way out for the Wubao people in Rizhao and Zhucheng. If the owner of the dock fort oppresses the people under him too much, the people of the dock fort are likely to find an opportunity to flee to Wulian Mountain, and the homeless group will not refuse.

For the owner of Wubao, Ding Zhuang, who can work, is a valuable asset, if it is not a matter of escaping to a few, the existence of Wulian Mountain gives other hope to the people under him, which is a great crime in itself.

For a variety of reasons, the owners of the dock fort want to exterminate this group of displaced people.

It's a pity that Wulian Mountain has a vast area, high mountains and deep forests. It is estimated that there are about 30,000 to 50,000 displaced people in the mountainous area, and nearly half of them are strong men!

The militia's equipment is much stronger than that of the displaced people, but the owners of the dock forts in the two counties can't muster so many dingkou to go to the mountains to exterminate the displaced people's group, so this matter has to be dragged down year after year.

Last year, the alliance quelled the rebellion, and surrounded Wulian Mountain to suppress bandits from all walks of life, and the displaced people were shocked by the combat effectiveness of the coalition army, and they did not dare to go down the mountain to steal and rob the dock fort owner of Rizhao as usual for a year.

But there is no such treatment on the Zhucheng side, Wulian Mountain, which does not dare to provoke the sunshine, pins all its hopes in the direction of Zhucheng, and the displaced people who are surging down the mountain make the impact of Zhucheng chaotic, and all the dock forts can only be defended in the earthen walls, and the crops that have just ripen outside the dock fort are almost swept away.

Many dock forts in Zhucheng are almost unable to hold out this year.

The Wubao lords of Rizhao did not gloat, the Zhucheng side was destroyed, and the displaced people had no choice but to come to Rizhao to find a way to survive next year, and their situation would probably not be much stronger than that of the Zhucheng side at that time.

When they were helpless, the Xu family, who was so strong in combat that even the Tartars dared to kill them, took the initiative to jointly send troops to Wulian Mountain, and it was naturally easy to get the support of the Rizhao families.
