Chapter 25 Military Discipline 1
Mu Chun knew that he was not able to control his subordinates effectively, and he was really guilty, but now in this scene, he was really speechless, and his voice gradually lowered.
Yu Zhilong looked at the opposite side with cold eyes, and the five soldiers trembled in their hearts when they saw the appearance of the Thousand Households. When they marched during the day, they heard no less than the stories of Zhilong's brave battles and cavalry, and knew that their men were brave and decisive. In the quarry, Yu Zhilong tied up dozens of domestic slaves and yacha, and let more than a thousand people stab the enemy with blades, thinking about it afterwards, not only the rest of the life after the catastrophe was frightened, but also many hands-on people The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, this kind of practice is tantamount to the crime of Ling Chi.
The tormented person's body and painfully brutal face are bound to be a nightmare for some for a long time.
These soldiers are now a little regretful for not respecting the military order, but what they said in public just now was too full, and they couldn't get it back for a while, besides, who is not a soldier who is convenient for their own soldiers after the victory, and they also contributed to this battle!
Yu Zhilong saw that the two women opposite were already half-undressed, their hair buns were scattered, and one of the shoes on their feet fell off somewhere, only wearing white socks, which was stained with a lot of dust. The two of them were teary-eyed, and they were so frightened that they sat on the ground and did not dare to speak.
Without further words, Yu Zhilong waved his hand, and more than a dozen personal soldiers behind him went up, first unloaded the weapons of these soldiers, twisted their arms, found a few pieces of clothing on the ground, ripped them apart, twisted them into a cloth rope to tie them firmly, escorted them all out of Liu's house, and handed them over to Wu Side's department to take care of.
"Mu Baihu, immediately lead people to conduct a comprehensive inspection of all parts of the courtyard, and find that the looters are committing adultery, needless to say, they will be tied up first, if they dare to resist, they will be killed!"
Mu Chun hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "No! "I took my subordinates to make my own rounds.
Yu Zhilong stepped forward to help the two women, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, it's because I don't govern the army strictly, which makes you frightened." Now that the battle in the house is not over yet, well, you can rest in the side room for the time being, and I will arrange for someone to take care of you. So he arranged for one of his men to send the two women into the house to rest, and at the same time ordered that all the maidservants and servants in the house be gathered in several courtyards, and that they should be resettled after the war was over, and that no one should be allowed to harass or insult them during this period.
Yu Zhilong continued to move forward, and when he arrived in the backyard, outside an isolated courtyard, Yu Zhilong saw Huang Er, who was almost shirtless. Huang Er was scratching his head anxiously, sitting on a bench, scolding in his mouth.
"Thief bird, I can't imagine that this old thief is so resistant! Cheer me up, this time follow Lao Tzu to rush again, I don't believe in evil. What about the ladders I want? Hurry up and get it! ”
Seeing that Huang Zhan was still quite satisfied, the gown on his body was bloodstained, and there were several circles of cloth shirts wrapped around his left shoulder, revealing some blood stains, Yu Zhilong was finally happy.
"Huang Baihu, how is it now?"
Seeing Yu Zhilong coming, Huang Er jumped up from the bench happily. "Tell the Lord of Qianhu, we broke down all the way in and killed all the way to this small courtyard. This old thief Liu is quite resistant, with dozens of people inside, we rushed three times and were beaten back, breaking a few brothers. ”
"Don't worry, the volunteer garrison has been taken, and now only here is still resisting, I have ordered Chang Zhi and others to enter the village and control the streets in the village. It doesn't matter here that you take it early or late. ”
"Hey, that's a good idea! Your Excellency, just watch, when I'm ready here, rush again, and I'll definitely take down the head of the old thief! ”
"Don't worry, shout to the courtyard first, we will only punish the evil, domestic slaves, volunteers, slaves and maids and others will not be held accountable, if Liu Lao Thief is willing to take the initiative to abandon his weapons and surrender, I can also give his whole family a way to live." Yu Zhilong instructed, "Tell them that the volunteers in the village have been disarmed by us, don't expect them to come to the rescue, and throw the captured volunteer flags into the courtyard for me; Also, tell them that Hujiazhuang is also surrounded by us, and it will be taken soon, and now that the outside of the village has been blocked by us, it is impossible for anyone to escape and report to Linqu County, and if they don't surrender, they will not be left behind after the attack! ”
"No!" Huang Er received the order and began to arrange.
After a while, the ladders that Huang Er was looking for had arrived, and several rebel flags that had been captured in the rebel garrison were also thrown in, and there was a commotion in the small courtyard, mixed with the cry of a woman. After Huang Er finished shouting, the small courtyard gradually became a lot quieter.
Yu Zhilong asked people to light more torches, gathered all the soldiers outside the courtyard, and lined them up in rows. Now with the soldiers brought by Yu Zhilong, hundreds of people have gathered outside the hospital. All the soldiers were silent, holding bright knives and guns, reflecting the beeping and burning torches, and a murderous aura gradually permeated the surroundings of this small courtyard. Someone on the courtyard wall showed his head, and after observing the outside of the courtyard for a while, he disappeared again, and the small courtyard was even quieter.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the courtyard was much quieter, Yu Zhilongma stepped forward, looked around at the soldiers standing quietly around, drew out a steel knife, pointed obliquely at the courtyard door, and ordered: "Prepare!" ”
Huang Er immediately waved his hand: "Go up the ladder!" More than 20 soldiers ran out of the line carrying six bamboo ladders, and there were several ladders in the shape of the ladders, which were clearly taken from the gate of the house.
Yu Zhilong observed carefully, six ladders were erected on the courtyard wall one after another, and more than a dozen soldiers below pressed against the ladders. Huang Er pulled out his sharp blade and rushed up first, a group of people rushed out a few steps with a hula, and before they could start climbing the ladder, they saw the courtyard door squeak and open inward. Huang Er was stunned, waved his hand, and stopped first to see what was strange about the other party.
I saw a leader come out of it, Yu Zhilong stared at it and recognized that it was the leader of the volunteers who fought with him at the crossroads. I can't believe that he is still alive now.
The leader came out empty-handed, raised his arms, and shouted at Yu Zhilong: "Don't fight, don't fight, the old man of the Liu family said, we surrender, dare to ask the big boss to keep his promise!" Afraid that Yu Zhilong and the others would not hear clearly, he shouted twice.
Yu Zhilong stepped forward to take a closer look, and felt that the other party did not seem to be a hypocrisy, so he ordered: "You go to reply, all the people inside come out, abandon their weapons and surrender, since I have spoken, I will definitely save your life." ”
The leader recognized Yu Zhilong, he didn't expect this big boss to be so young, and when he heard the order, he hurriedly said: "Please wait a while, the villain will reply." After saying that, he returned to the courtyard.
After a while, there was a commotion in the courtyard, and a group of people waited for the fish to come out, and Huang Er ordered his subordinates to give up a vacant lot and line up around these people. After a while, all the people inside came out, about 80 people, except for more than 50 volunteers and male servants, the rest were old and weak, women and children. An old man in the middle, with gray hair and a high crown in brocade clothes, should be the master of the Liu family.
"I don't know who the general is and what is the matter? But today you came to attack my Liujiazhuang? The old man asked with a pale face and a shudder.
"The Liu family has taken an unknown number of acres of land in the township over the years, and how many people have been ruined by the money you put in the seal, and many of the drives in the stone field have been sent by you, and the underground souls there are indispensable to the sins done by your Liu family, and today is the retribution!"
"But I have promised before, put down my weapons and spare my life, you can rest assured, I will do what I say I will do!"
Yu Zhilong waved his hand and escorted them all down. At this point, the battle in Quanzhuang has ended, according to the order, Wu Side led people to inspect everywhere, and with the help of Chang Zhi and Hou Ying, all the foot soldiers who disrespected military orders and broke into the house and looted were captured and put on the street.
Yu Zhilong arranged for three personal soldiers to ride horses to Hujiazhuang with torches to contact Zhao Shi, inform him that he had succeeded, and at the same time inquire about Zhao Shi's battle situation, and then ordered a fire to cook. It was now more than half of the hour, and his soldiers had not eaten since the army was on their own, and after the battles everywhere were over, everyone's hunger was becoming more and more obvious. Fortunately, the village was laid, and the Liu family's warehouse was piled up with a hill-like grain stack, and there were many chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in the livestock pen, so the future food supply was not worried for the time being.
Yu Zhilong ordered to search out all kinds of account books, he first read some of them, and then called out the housekeeper from the Liu family's prisoners, and ordered him to briefly explain the number of shops, acres, mountains and forests, livestock, expulsion and tenants, slaves and maids owned by the Liu family. Most of the households in the entire Liujiazhuang village are tenants of his family, and presumably Hujiazhuang is similar.
According to the date, in the last five years alone, there have been more than 300 people who have sold themselves because they are unable to pay their debts and have migrated to the Liu family without a place to survive, and at least a quarter of the volunteers in the village are the Liu family's drivers, and the rest are mostly their tenants. According to the confession of the housekeeper, most of the men are directly escorted to the quarry to engage in quarrying, and the young women are generally sold to the place of flowers and willows or other large families as slaves and maids.
As for the gold and silver found out, there were dozens of cabinets just in large boxes, and there was no time to count them carefully for a while, looking at the large and small gold ingots and silver ingots, Yu Zhilong estimated that it was at least more than 60,000 taels, and Qian Zheng waited for a few people to rummage through the boxes and count, while they were so happy that they were about to stay, as for the surrounding soldiers, their jaws were about to fall, and the ordinary people generally used some copper coins, when had they seen so many gold and silver things! Seeing the surprise and dumbness of the soldiers around him, Yu Zhilong was really a little worried that some people couldn't resist the temptation to do stupid things, thought about it, and then ordered more than a dozen guards to put these belongings in one place, strictly prohibiting other soldiers from watching around, and Ling Qian Zheng personally supervised.
This is just an ordinary squire in the north, and the family of those Mongolians, Semu nobles and northern Han people with big surnames is even more unimaginable for generations to accumulate their family assets!
