At the end of the interrogation, the information obtained made everyone very excited. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Inspector Deng looked at Yang He, his fat eyes were full of expectation, and he said, "Yang Xianggong? ”

He was very eager for Yang He to send troops, not only to exterminate the bandits in the troubled area, but also to follow the battle himself, and maybe to get a piece of the pie.

3. Forty thousand taels of silver, if you can get it, how much is that?

I have worked hard to embezzle, and I am afraid that in my life, I will not be as seized as this time.

Of course, this thing can't be compared, after all, it's a desperate fight.

Hu Chengcheng, Zeng Youyu and others went out of the village to kill the bandits, but Minister Yang, Han Daxia, Zhang Chugong and others also gathered on the side.

Minister Yang cracked his mouth and said: "Young master, if we can break through the lair of Jiaoshan bandits and obtain grain, rice, gold and silver, we can grow and recruit people." ”

Qi Youxin frowned and said: "It's just that there are still few soldiers in Zhuangzhong, although the bandits are defeated, together with those who fled back, I am afraid that there are fifteen or six hundred people, and I am only more than 100 young and strong in Xin'an Village, even if the old and weak women stay, this person is too few." ”

Yang He paced and groaned, the total number of Jiaoshan bandits was 2,300 people, and 1,78 people were dispatched in this battle, in addition to the dead and wounded and those who escaped, there were also nearly 1,000 people who were afraid to run back.

They had five or six hundred men defending the old den, twenty archers, ten firearmsmen, twenty sword and shield men, and six horsemen.

It is impossible to wipe out all the old bandits in this battle, and some will run back.

In this way, the number of them is still very good, and he has only one hundred and forty young and strong men, and the number of soldiers is indeed small.

When all the young and strong go out, they will take a lot of risks.

After all, this time it was his turn to attack, and he would no longer stay on the thick and solid village wall.

In the field, anything can happen.

Zhang Chugong suddenly said: "Be careful of the bandits escaping, if they abandon the bandit village and flee elsewhere, we will have a bamboo basket to draw water." ”

Everyone is stunned, this possibility is very large, Jiaoshan bandits were defeated in this attack, it is possible that they are heartbroken, have no intention of defending Zhuangzhai, and finally abandon the village.

It is true that you should be wary of this possibility and do not let the fat fly away to your mouth.

Han Daxia shook his head: "In this winter, where can they escape?" It's freezing cold, do more than a thousand of them want to freeze to death in the wild? ”

Zhang Chugong said: "Flee to the Tongshan bandits!" Or perhaps, they held on to the bandit village, and then sent people to ask the Tongshan bandits for reinforcements. ”

The atmosphere in the field froze, and Deng Inspector was also a little frightened, after being here for a long time, of course he knew that in addition to the Jiaoshan bandits, there was also a large group of thieves who were hundreds of miles away from Tongshan, which was not very far from Liguoyi and Hanzhuang Gate, and they were more and stronger.

Suddenly, he felt that Daming was full of bandits, and it seemed that there was no place to be safe.

Yang He paused and said, "Tongshan bandits...... These people, don't worry about it for the time being. ”

During this time, he knew a little about the Tongshan bandits, the leader of the group, and was a marshal of the Liukou Li Qingshan, which was different from the periphery of the Jiaoshan bandits.

And Li Qingshan, at this time, is in full swing preparing to attack Linqing, Dongping, Zhang Qiu and other cities, Tongshan bandits, as the marshal under their command, will definitely be transferred there.

The intention of Li Qingshan's brothers' rebellion this year was not to overthrow the imperial court, but to attract attention, and then seek an official and a half-post through Zhao'an.

Therefore, after Zhou Yanru was reinstated, he went north along the canal from Yixing, passing through Liangshan, Li Qingshan thought it was a good opportunity, and met Zhou Yanru with hundreds of horsemen in armor and asked for recruitment.

Zhou Yanru pretended to agree at that time, but after entering Beijing, he threw the matter out of the clouds, and there was no news of Zhao'an.

In order to coerce the imperial court to achieve the goal of recruiting An, Li Qingshan would step up his military offensive, and on November 16 of this year, he divided his troops to attack Shouzhang, Yuncheng, Dongping, Zhangqiu and other cities, killing Si Zhiliang, the capital of the Anshan camp, and Qian Moumou, the official of the army.

At the same time, he also intensified the robbery activities, and the people of the time noted the clouds: "At the end of the year, the Qingshan Sai'an Mountain Gate, the river was dug for ten miles to pass through the Liang Mountain, and the Cao boat was driven to burn and plunder the near Linqing, which was intended to threaten the attack." ”

Then in December of this year, Li Qingshan would be defeated by Liu Zeqing's subordinates, and in the first month of next year, he and his younger brother Li Mingshan and other party marshals were arrested, and then escorted to Jingshi Ling Chi to be executed.

Now that Li Qingshan is going to start large-scale activities and attack multiple cities at the same time, the Tongshan bandits have a lot of troops, and they will definitely be transferred to cooperate.

Yang He thought that it was very unlikely that the Tongshan bandits would come to help, and that the Jiaoshan bandits fled to the Tongshan bandits, and then they were coerced and used as cannon fodder.

If the Jiaoshan bandits leave, it is a good thing, as long as the silver and grain and rice are left.

He pondered for a long time, and said to Deng Xun: "Now that the bandits have been defeated, the matter of the union of the villages should be feasible, right?" ”

Inspector Deng smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and he laughed and said: "Yang Xianggong rest assured, with this great victory, can the Zhuang be immobile?" The lower officials will definitely be able to move them! ”

The killer captain Mi Dagu also reported that when they were chasing and killing, they did see nearby villagers rushing out to kill the thieves.

Yang He was overjoyed, it seemed that the bandits were defeated, and the villagers of the villages who had been oppressed were moved, and it was very likely that they would form an encirclement and suppression coalition army.

If they cooperated, it would have been easy to do.

……

Deng inspected the theater and collected Zeng Yuzhi's letters with his subordinates, discussing how to impress the wording, and then distributed them by the fat and thin soaps and some archers.

Zhang Songtao has counted the weapons seized book, Han Daxia is illiterate, he reported on his behalf, this battle killed many bandits, and captured a lot.

The most precious is the war horse, at the gate of the drawbridge, 14 horses were captured and uninjured, intact, and there are 9 war horses in the village, so that the total is 23.

The remaining eleven horses, either dead or wounded, had to be disposed of and turned into horse meat.

Of course, twenty-five matching saddles are present and can be stowed away.

Now there are fifty-one pairs of saddles in all of them.

One hundred and twenty-five pairs of double inserts were seized, and now there are all surplus one hundred and eighty-seven pairs of double inserts, and the light and heavy arrows are not counted, and the villagers carefully collect them, and all the arrows that can be used are pulled up, such as the arrows shot on the hanging household, which can continue to be used.

One hundred and fifty shields of various kinds were seized, and the round shields of the original Zhuang Zhong were connected, and now there are four hundred and twenty shields, and fifty long cards are not counted.

Two hundred and eighty waist knives were seized, and the original ones were connected, and there were four hundred and fifty waist knives in the village.

There are also bird guns, sabers, short axes, spears, decapitation knives, etc., and Yanghe's weapon inventory can be described as very rich.

There are also tents, felt hats, cloaks and many other seizures, seized ladders, planks, etc., are also counted.

Yang He nodded, very satisfied, thinking that when he was in Du Wei, he didn't even have a shield.

Everyone next to him listened, and they also opened their mouths and smiled, and now the weapons in the village are getting more and more perfect.

There are also seizures from the civilian side, which are counted by Yan Dezheng.

The bandits came and carried three days' worth of grain and grass, and they gathered more than a hundred steps outside the village, stacking all kinds of packages and burdens over there, totaling about 60 stone of grain and rice, and some bean feed.

There are also a dozen cauldrons, some iron kettles.

Ordinary bandits have the habit of carrying silver taels with them, that is, old bandits, who will carry some silver on their bodies.

After searching the bodies of hundreds of bandits, the dead and wounded of the bandits, found more than 3,000 taels of silver.

Obviously, these bandits were not poor, and each of them had several taels of silver, and some even had one or twenty taels.

Being a thief is so rich, no wonder everyone is rushing to follow the thief.

Minister Yang said happily: "A few thousand taels of silver, these bandits are really good money boys." ”

Everyone laughed, and Yang He also laughed, feeling in his heart, there are always many people in the world who want to get something for nothing.

Not to mention this rogue, the bandits among Xu Pi are very serious, and there are many bandits of all kinds.

A missionary recorded: "There are too many bandits in Xuzhou Prefecture, there are too many, and there are very few villages without bandits." Being a bandit is like doing any other livelihood. In some families, the profession of banditry is passed down from generation to generation. ”

During the Republic of China, it was reported: "In the past few years, the wind of bandits kidnapping in the countryside of Xuzhou has been very hot, and those who have a little material mostly avoid living in the city. And every time there is a huge case, no one has been solved. ”

At the beginning of the wanderings, the so-called gathering scene mostly refers to these people.

Bandits are everywhere, and the first to respond must be the bandits.

The ill-gotten gains that these bandits plundered out of nowhere happened to be taken by themselves.

Just as he was sighing, suddenly Yang He heard the sound of blowing and blowing outside the village.

Faintly, getting closer and closer, it seems that there are many directions.

He looked at everyone and looked at each other, and they were all happy, didn't they?

……

For the first time, the gate of Xin'anzhuang was so lively, and the people of many villages came in a steady stream, and many teams were still carrying pigs, sheep, wine and rice, beating gongs and drums all the way.

Some teams even set off firecrackers along the way.

Some villagers are familiar with each other, and they also greet each other, and they listen to the greetings of various voices.

Shouting, laughing, this cold countryside seems to be alive for the first time.

The flow of people in front of the village wall is gathering more and more, and it seems that people from every village and village are coming, bustling and lively like a market.

However, only a few can enter the village, except for the head of the village and their relatives, the rest can only gather outside the village.

But no one was angry, or dared not be angry, and everyone looked at a human head hanging on the wall with amazement.

Those grinning teeth and fierce gods, are they all Jiaoshan bandits who killed a thousand knives?

Seeing that the heads were densely packed, one by one bloody, hanging all over the walls along the walls, I don't know how many hundreds were killed.

There were piles of corpses on the ground outside, slippery, naked, headless, stacked like hills.

The strong smell of blood permeated, and it was terrible.

The villagers took a breath and inquired about each other, all asking about the origin of this Xin'an Zhuangzi.

Many people also looked at the wall with fear, looking at the door of the drawbridge.

On the wall, there were many Zhuang Ding, all wearing winter felt, fat jackets, ties, and thick cloaks, and all of them were birds.

They have a fierce demeanor, sharp eyes, and a bird's glove for something, as if they are not afraid of the cold on a cold day.

At the door of the drawbridge was even more terrifying, there were more than a dozen ironclad soldiers, all of them with thick cloaks, bright red arms and hands in the middle armor, and then wearing iron-tipped helmets, all of which were made of fine iron, and even there were fine pieces of armor at the throat guard.

They stood murderously, wearing something like a weapon on their hands, thick and warm, with thick wool at the port.

The crowd watched, inhaling.

Those who understand know that this is a Zhuangzi, and those who don't understand still think that this is a barracks.

I really don't know where the Zhuang people come from, but looking at their demeanor, it's no wonder that a small Zhuangzi can defeat the Jiaoshan bandits who can stop children crying at night in this area.

In the midst of the uproar, suddenly the villagers in the rear exclaimed, and then everyone got out of the way.

The crowd seemed to split like a tide, and exclamations were heard all the way.

Then a horse came slowly, a horse lance was held, red clothes and red armor and red horses, the armor was quite scraped, but it was cotton armor.

Look at the cotton armor covered with thick copper nails, flashing in the cold air.

There are also heart goggles, which are even colder.

The horses came slowly.

"Stepping on ......"

The sound of hooves was soft, and a few things in the saddle shook, and every now and then they struck a few grinning heads.

There was the rustling of the horses, and a rope behind the saddle was attached, and a bloody figure was dragged on the ground.

The figure seemed to have been dragged for a long time, and many places on its hands and feet showed white bones.

Look at the figure and moan occasionally, it is already dying.

"Where's the?"

Hu Chengcheng watched with wide eyes.

Zeng Youyu also inhaled: "It's ruthless enough!" ”

Chen Qiuao's eyes narrowed, this person ......

The knight came over slowly, looking at the village wall, and his face showed excitement.

Finally, he stopped at a pile of corpses, untied a few heads from the saddle, and threw them into the pile.

Pull the rope up again, stab it with a lance, and pull it out.

Blood was sprinkled like a fountain, and the dying figure was completely motionless.

Finally, the knight looked at the side of the village gate and raised his voice: "Please report to the master of your village on your behalf, Pei Pochuan, the former citizen of Li Zhuang Zhuang to ask to see!" ”

Zeng Youyu said dumbly: "Man? ”

Hu Cheng's eyes widened: "Another little minister? (To be continued.) )
