Chapter 141: Bloody Aftermath
(The second watch is here, and the red ticket is here!) )
Although the Xingtianjun slaughtered the Li family and killed some villagers who helped the Li family to defend the palace, but on the night of the village, they only harmed the Li family, but they did not kill them, and also sent people to isolate the area where they were located, and did not harm them too much, which is already extremely magnanimous compared to other poles, so they are secretly happy.
And when the Xingtian Army drove them away, they made it clear that as long as the Xingtian Army left, the officers and soldiers would definitely come, and how the officers and soldiers would treat them at that time, they themselves knew in their hearts that the officers and soldiers were more fierce than the thieves in these years, although the pole was a thief, but most of the time they only sought wealth and did not kill people indiscriminately, but the military discipline of the officers and soldiers was extremely corrupt, and they would often kill the good and take the risk, once the officers and soldiers came here, they would end up even worse, so even if they were reluctant, they still packed up the soft things, The family received some money and food from Xingtianjun, and the family walked out of Lijiazhuang, and walked into the distance, hoping to find a foothold again.
Looking at these tenants who left Lijiazhuang, Xiao Tianjian sighed slightly, he could think that after these people left here, he didn't know how many people would survive this year, but what he could do to these people was only this, maybe they would hate themselves, but he didn't have a better way, what he wanted was a strong soldier, and he couldn't accommodate too many ordinary people for the time being, maybe one day, after he occupied a place where he could stand, he would have the ability to save these homeless people, but now, he couldn't do it yet.
When the Li family was dragged out of Zhuangzi, they cried loudly one by one, begging to spare their lives, but Xiao Tianjian did not go to watch the beheading, and walked back to Zhuangzi silently.
All the executions are recruits, according to the practice of the Xingtian Army, the execution of prisoners are all used recruits, for no other reason, that is, to let the recruits see blood and train their courage, only the soldiers who have killed people and seen blood, can be cold and hard-hearted, in the future war, they can become fierce, this is also the unwritten rule of the Xingtian Army, three hundred recruits were collectively taken out of Zhuangzi, two people against one, one with a gun and one with a knife, first with a gun and then beheaded, in short, to ensure that everyone sees blood.
The recruits have never experienced such a bloody scene, some people naturally can't do it, but under the scolding of the instructors and the military sticks, they can only choose to do it in the end, and suddenly there was a scream outside Lijiazhuang, at first there were many homeless people who ran excitedly to see the excitement, but when the rows of tortured people fell to the ground, and the corpses fell in a pool of blood, these homeless people finally realized that killing people was not fun, and turned around one by one with pale faces to dodge, However, this kind of killing made these homeless people look at the soldiers of the Heavenly Punishment Army again, but they had a little more awe on their faces.
Some of the recruits couldn't stand the blood, and after doing it, they looked at the corpses lying under their hands, turned around and vomited, but were immediately reprimanded by their instructors and retreated to the side.
The execution took a whole hour, more than a hundred Li family members were killed, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, the corpses all over the ground made people shudder, a few crows seemed to smell this smell of blood, flew from a distance, hovering in the sky, as if waiting for the living people below to leave, they were going to come down and feast.
Xiao Tianjian pressed his waist with his hand from time to time, and the wound on his waist was touched every step he took, and the pain stimulated his nerves from time to time, but he still insisted on checking the work of the generals in Lijiazhuang.
The soldiers gathered all the mules and horses and ploughing cattle in Lijiazhuang, the number was as many as 100 heads, and the carts were concentrated near the granary, and a group of newly recruited homeless people kept carrying bags of grain out of the granary, loaded on these carts, and several carts were dragged to the Li family's mansion, and the heavy silver cakes were taken out of the cellar by the soldiers, and after being counted in the carts, the silver copied out this time was as much as 70,000 taels, and more than 7,000 taels of gold, even if each cart was loaded with 10,000 taels, It was enough to load nearly ten carts, not counting the countless copper coins, and if they were to be shipped together, more vehicles would be needed.
Xiao Tianjian looked at such a huge amount of wealth, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, the big landlords could be said to be rich, but they did not make any contribution to the country, the taxes collected by the imperial court every year could not be pressed on their heads, but they had to be borne by those civilians, they occupied most of the fertile land, but they did not bear obligations at all, but intensified the annexation of land, it is precisely because the land was annexed by these gentry in large quantities, and the common people lost a lot of land and became landless. The remaining landed commoners had to bear more rents, which formed a vicious circle for the whole society, which also led to the shaking of the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty can not be said not to be rich, but the really rich are these officials and gentry landlord class, and the court is on the verge of bankruptcy under the attack of internal and external troubles, and it is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty finally went to extinction, now although Emperor Chongzhen is very diligent, but the long-term legacy of the problem, has made the Ming Dynasty difficult to return, let alone him, I am afraid that even if the gods are down to earth, they will not be able to save the Ming Dynasty.
But from another point of view, he suddenly thought of a question, if it weren't for Chongzhen's bad luck, only met a wild boar skin outside the Guan, with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, even if the wild boar skin is really powerful, but if there is no group of rebels like Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and similar to him Xiao Tianjian, the descendants of the wild boar skin will never have the opportunity to enter the Central Plains, to a certain extent, these rebels have also played a role in cooperating with the Eastern Tartars, so that they have the opportunity to win the Central Plains.
When Xiao Tianjian thought of this, he suddenly felt a little dazed, he seemed to be doing this a little bit at the moment, and it seemed that it would play a role in fueling the entry of the Tartars in the future, if he failed one day, wouldn't it be like Li Zicheng in history, and did the Dongyu Tartars a great favor? Thinking of this, Xiao Tianjian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Tianjian suddenly became a little confused, and now he remembered a question that could not be verified, this question is whether his current existence at this stage of history is not the historical space that originally existed in the history of later generations, one of which may be that he should have existed in this history, but because of his lack of strength, he was not able to leave a mark in history at all, so he was lost in the long river of history, and not even a small wave was raised, because from this history that he knew in later generations, I had never seen any record of the name Xingtianjun, and if this was the case, then it would be doomed that it would be impossible for him to grow and grow; Of course, there is another possibility, that is, with his crossing, it has affected this historical space, so that history has begun to deviate at the moment of his crossing, and it is no longer parallel to the original historical trajectory, and the development of history will have a completely different result.
The more Xiao Tianjian thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand it, and at present, he couldn't confirm any of these possibilities at all.
Xiao Tianjian stood in the courtyard while watching his subordinates carry these huge amounts of wealth, while secretly thinking about the messy questions, at this time Yan Chongxi came over, and as soon as he saw Xiao Tianjian, he asked Xiao Tianjian: "Palm the plate, this time we broke through the Li family's village, and dozens of people came out of the Li family's private prison, in addition to some Zhuang Ding of the Li family and some officers and soldiers of Fengxiangwei who were captured before, I don't know how to deal with it?" ”
Xiao Tianjian was interrupted by Yan Chongxi and returned to reality, and then he remembered that there were still these things that had not been arranged, so he frowned and thought for a while and said: "Among the officers and soldiers, those who wish to stay can stay, and those who do not want to stay are not embarrassed by them, let them go, as for the Zhuang Ding captured last time, I remember that there is a person named Li ...... Lee what? Oh! It seems that the person named Li Lingfeng wants to follow us, they can be screened, and those who have no great evil can be let go and let them leave on their own, as for those who want to follow us, they can also be screened clearly, don't have bad habits, only those who have the ability to stay! But everyone, regardless of what they used to do, was trained in the boot camp before they could be added to the squad!
As for the people released from the private prison, it is estimated that they are all people who have an enmity with the Li family, ask them about their affairs, give money and food, and dismiss them! You see that this kind of thing has been done! ”
Yan Chongxi nodded in agreement, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and began to arrange according to Xiao Tianjian's instructions.
But as soon as he left with his front foot, Liu Bao also came over with his back foot, and said to Xiao Tianjian with a spark: "Hold the plate!" This can't be done! ”
Xiao Tianjian was slightly stunned, he didn't understand the meaning of Liu Bao's words for a while, and didn't understand why he was so angry, so he frowned and asked, "Liu Bao, why did you come to me so angrily?" If you have something to say, don't worry! ”
Liu Bao said at this time: "In charge of the plate, there are less than thirty old brothers under the subordinates now, and the three hundred recruits have not yet practiced, and they are suddenly demoting troops and recruiting novices, even if the subordinates have three heads and six arms, they can't be busy!" This can't be done, why should the boss assign some veterans to his subordinates to come over as the head of the coach, otherwise, there are too many recruits in the new barracks, and I can't control so many people if I kill them! ”
Xiao Tianjian then understood why Liu Bao was so angry, it turned out to be this thing!
"This is easy to do, some of our brothers were slightly injured in the fight against Lijiazhuang this time, for the time being, these brothers will not return to the combat corps, so they will be allocated to you first, this should be okay!" Xiao Tianjian immediately thought of a solution, this time they fought Li Jiazhuang, paid a lot of price, some soldiers were slightly injured, temporarily treated in the medical camp, some of them were not seriously injured, but it is obviously not possible to let them return to the team immediately, so instead of letting them be idle, it is better to give Liu Bao an emergency first, most of these people have already experienced two or three battles, and they have just completed the drill training subject, although they cannot go into battle for the time being due to injury, but it is not a big problem to train the recruits and children.
After Liu Bao listened, he summed it up slightly, and then nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Thank you for holding the plate!" In this way, the head of the boot camp is basically enough! I'll go to Doctor Lu to get someone! It's just that I'm afraid that those brothers in the clan will not agree! ”
"It's easy to talk about this, I'll inform them, you just have to go and get someone!" Xiao Tianjian said with a smile.
Liu Bao was relieved at this time, and ran out after giving a salute.
