Seeing the local rioters retreating, everyone left the cottage to cultivate the fields and support their families, and naturally enjoyed themselves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info (Many cottages are very large, the east is from northern Sichuan, after the reform, some cottages have a permanent population of more than 1,000 people.) ）

When the government left, the local rioters came to collect taxes, and of course they were not happy one by one, and some even drove the leaders of the local tyrants who collected taxes out of the manor, so that fires often broke out.

Just like the underworld in the previous life collected protection money, if a family takes the lead in resisting the payment, other possibilities may follow suit after it spreads, and if this continues, the underworld that cannot receive protection money and loses its economic resources can only collapse in the end.

In this way, in the area under the jurisdiction of the local rioters, there are often fires due to the collection of taxes (or protection money), and in order to deter the local gentry and the local people, the local rioters often use kidnapping for ransom, that is, gathering their troops to attack.

Before the rise of the Loyal and Righteous Army, due to the low combat effectiveness of the official army, and the fact that the local tyrants were numerous and strong, the local squires did not dare to resist.

However, after repeated setbacks, the territory was constantly compressed, and more pro-troops were fed, and the local fire continued unabated.

After being compressed in a corner of Bazhou, especially the establishment of local militia groups in Pengzhou and Dazhou, it was difficult for the local rioters to loot money and grain as easily as in the past, in order to survive, Yao Tiandong, Yuan Tao and others increased the amount of protection fees (taxes).

In the past, it was ten taxes and one, and in the middle of the year it was raised to eight taxes and one, and now it is five taxes and one tax, just like the underworld in the previous life levied protection fees, if the protection fees were raised without authorization, and the enterprises were difficult to operate one by one, so there must be some enterprises that really can't continue to operate, and are forced to rise up and oppose it.

Chen Yingzong and Liu Weiming introduced that although there are only three counties in Bazhou (Ba County, Nanjiang County, and Tongjiang County), it is now in recent years, and the major leaders have been preliminarily found out that the big leaders Yao Tiandong, Xing Wanli Hu Jiusi, Black Tiger Star King Gao Fangba County, Yuan Tao, the king of Tiantian, Nanjiang County, Huang Harrier, and the king of Zhentian, Long Jiao, are stationed in Tongjiang County.

Just like in Bazhou, the big leader Yao Tiandong was stationed in the state capital of Ba County, and Hu Jiusi was stationed in the southwest of Erzhaizi, and the Black Tiger Star Wang Gao was stationed in Yiyang Mountain.

Since Liu Weiming, Yang Bingyi and others were the leaders of Yao Huang and were quite familiar with the situation of the local rioters, this time in order to encircle and annihilate the local rioters in Bazhou, they even sent several groups of scouts to go deep into various places to once again confirm the distribution of the local rioters' forces and their relationship with the people in various places, so as to obtain such detailed information.

Everyone gathered in front of the sand table, and after everyone reconfirmed the geography, road conditions, and the distribution of troops, Liu Weiming introduced: "In this troubled era, it is really the officials who force the people to rebel, and the people have nothing to eat, so they have to be bandits and local tyrants."

Even so, now that the New Year is over, many vassals in the past may go home for the New Year, but even so, the strength of the local tyrant is particularly objective. Let's take Ba County as an example, Yao Tiandong has more than 2,000 pro-army, Hu Jiusi has 300 elite cavalry, 500 infantry, and Wang Gao has more than 800 people.

Just as the adults said, this battle was mainly in a strange, fast, accurate, and ruthless manner, and our loyal and righteous army not only launched an offensive on Chinese New Year's Eve, but also sent elite troops to directly capture the nest of the local tyrants.

Due to the border between Yilong and Langzhong and Bazhou, the local tyrants could not have expected that we would launch an offensive based on this, and in order to achieve a surprising victory, our regiment decided to send a brigade disguised as grave visitors and cargo men to open the road in front, make a detour of more than 30 miles, contact the local squire, clear the strongholds of the local tyrants, and then sneak into the city in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, combine with the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, fight into the city, capture Yao Tiandong alive, and occupy Bazhou.

Then the adults led the main force to approach the second village, in order to completely eliminate the local tyrants, and return everyone to a good man. ”

Yang Xuan looked at the sand table in front of him again, then stood up and said, "Everyone, Yao Tiandong, Huang Long, Yuan Tao and others are brutal and cruel, robbing the people, and causing disaster to the township.

But as you can see, other leaders such as Liu Weiming, Yang Bingyi and others used to be honest farmers, and natural disasters and man-made disasters made everyone unable to survive at all, or forced to go to Liangshan, so they became thieves.

Our troops entered Bazhou this time to relieve the distress of those who were coerced and to allow everyone to live and work in peace and contentment.

As you can see, after we implemented the new policy in Shunqing Mansion, Pengzhou Tianfu was handled according to Zhang Juzheng's method in the past, and silver was levied, which was only 6 cents of silver per mu.

In other states and counties, according to the method of the early Ming Dynasty, the high-grade fertile land was 12 catties per mu, and the high-grade dry land was 4 catties per mu.

Ding Fu is only 1 cent and two cents, business Fu is less than 5 cents, Guozhou County Guan Fu is 3 cents, and Guofu Guan Fu is 5 cents.

The military is very important to eradicate the rebellion of the local tyrants, but it is even more important to publicize and implement the new policy to everyone. ”

Thinking of the situation that day, Liu Weiming said with tears in the corners of his eyes: "My lord, your benevolent government, not only the people admire it in their hearts, even those who have become local rioters also know it, everyone says, why didn't there be such a clean official as an adult in the past?"

I know that in the past, everyone who was a local riot was hungry and full, and counted them carefully, and in the past few years, the number of people who died of hunger, disease, and war cannot be counted.

After everyone joined the Loyal and Righteous Army, they lived like human beings, not only fed and clothed, but also had military salaries, and pensions for the dead and wounded in battle.

When we saw that the people in the station were living and working in peace and contentment, and thinking that the villagers were still suffering, we swore to change the past, calm the local tyrants, and return the people to a bright future. ”

Seeing that everyone was moved by their true feelings, and there were tears in the corners of their eyes, Yang Xuan was quite moved, and immediately issued a military order and decided to carry out a sneak attack on the local rioters.

Taking into account the situation of the local rioters, the formation of the East and West Road armies and the West Road Army was coordinated by Yang Xuan.

Liu Weiming's 6th Regiment, as well as the guard regiment that followed behind, Feng Youqing's 7th Regiment, and Ma Chao Cavalry Regiment

The East Road Army was led by Fan Mingshan, including Fan Mingshan's 1st Regiment, Yang Bingyi's 5th Regiment, and Ma Mingluan's 9th Regiment.

In addition, Chen Yingzong's 2nd Regiment, Guo Chonglie's 3rd Regiment, Yao Zhijiao's 4th Regiment, and Dujigui's 8th Regiment were stationed in Shunqing, Dazhou, and Pengzhou to provide support.

Of course, the Loyal and Righteous Army has just been expanded, and most of the regiments are not fully established, and the most complete guard regiment has just reached the establishment of the C regiment, and most of the other regiments are only shells.

Everyone gave up their hands and went out to prepare, and during this period, the various baggage teams of the navy ignored the cold weather, braved the cold wind, went upstream, and carried Liu Weiming's 6th Regiment and Feng Youqing's 7th Regiment to Yilong one after another, and then secretly disembarked and went ashore to rest on the spot.

The guard regiment and the cavalry regiment did not take the waterway, mainly to test whether the tricycle was suitable for long-distance marching, and it was about 250 miles from Yilong to Fucheng, and the guard regiment walked for six days before arriving at the front line on the 26th of the lunar month.

But on this march, there were also eight tricycles damaged, such a short distance, so much damage, which everyone did not expect.

Looking at the damage details reported up, mainly the axle, due to the large area of the carriage, and the foot pedal is not too hard (there are still people pushing behind the steep slope), so everyone puts all kinds of things on the tricycle, and some are more than 400 pounds, and the axle strength is not enough, so it causes large-scale damage.

On the one hand, the vehicle bureau is equipped with spare axles and spare tires, and on the other hand, it is forged and quenched many times to strengthen the bearing strength and avoid damage in the future.

On the same day, Liu Weiming led the 6th Regiment to quietly go on the road, and everyone took five days' dry food to take a detour to the road from Langzhong to Bazhou, and then led his troops to the north.

More than 20 miles in front of the brigade, three or five pilgrims and seven or eight merchants appeared from time to time, carrying burdens, baskets, and some even pushing wheelbarrows, slowly advancing northward.

This is not a big road, the sudden appearance of so many people, this can cause the people in the village to be vigilant, everyone vigilantly looked at these pilgrims, merchants, while sending people to the nearby cottage to inquire, to see if these people are local rioters, whether the surrounding has been robbed.

The news was quickly confirmed that the merchant belonged to a certain family in a certain village, and the pilgrim belonged to a certain family in a certain village, and they were all legitimate people, not local tyrants.

Everyone will be suspicious, especially when they see the large group of people behind, one by one is even more frightened, men, women and children are on the stockade, if it is not for the surrounding so-and-so show to raise people to guarantee that these are serious people, if it is not for the robbery or something, do not beat the gongs and drums, so the radius of dozens of miles has already been gongs and drums.
